Absolutely not. Tent fumigation is not a preventive treatment and this treatment method only eradicates existing infestations of drywood termites. Because the gas fumigant used does not leave any residual protection, it is possible for new termites to re-enter the structure and begin a cycle to form a new colony. Upon fumigation completion, a homeowner can reduce the risk of re-infestation by reducing conducive conditions in and around the structure.
