Vikane Treatment (Fumigation)

Vikane Fumigation

The Vikane Fumigation process is used for heavy infestations that cannot be treated, effectively, on a local basis. Fumigation will eradicate all above ground infestations within a structure—when used in accordance with the manufactures label. The fumigation process takes 24-48 hours. Only a professional, licensed fumigator, with a good standing with the Structural Pest Control Board of California, should fumigate your property in Los Angeles, Orange County or Riverside.

The fumigation crew will tarp or seal the structure, release a warning agent into the home, and introduce a calculated amount of Vikane. After the fumigation is complete, the building is aired out, cleared, and tested with sensitive monitoring devices to confirm the safety of re-occupancy. 

What is Vikane gas fumigant?

 Vikane is a colorless, odorless gas that quickly penetrates structural materials during fumigation. It is non-staining, non-corrosive and non-flammable. Vikane quickly dissipates from the structure into the atmosphere and does not deplete the ozone.
