Fumigation isn’t something most homes need regularly. Instead, it’s used when infestations are severe or hard to eliminate through standard pest control methods. The frequency depends on key factors, including the type of pest, & past infestations.

How Often Is Fumigation Needed?

• Termites – Homes in high-risk areas may need fumigation every 5 to 10 years. Preventive inspections can reduce the need for frequent treatments.

• Bed Bugs – One fumigation is often enough. Repeat treatments are rare unless the infestation returns.

• Cockroaches & Other Pests – Fumigation is typically a last resort. Most pests can be managed with regular pest control services.

Factors That Affect Fumigation Frequency

Things that can influence how often your home might need fumigation…

• Type & severity of pests

• Geographic location & climate

• Structure & age of your home

• Previous pest problems

Keep Your Home Pest-Free

The best way to reduce how often you need fumigation is through routine inspections & preventive treatments. Professional pest control services can catch early signs of infestation before fumigation is necessary.

Fumigation is highly effective but should only be done as needed. For most homeowners, that means only once every year or when serious pest problems arise. Regular maintenance is key to minimizing the need for it.
