Understanding Fumigation Quotes

Whole-home fumigation for drywood termites or other pests is the most robust form of termite extermination available to pest companies. To keep your home from being badly damaged by Drywood termites, it is recommended to fumigate every ten years.

The Termite Guy specializes in whole-home fumigations with Vikane Gas. Fumigation has proven to be the most effective and least invasive form of drywood termite control available.

Serving Southern California since 1997, The Termite Guy offers the very best terms for your home fumigation. As a consumer, it can be difficult to decipher reports and understand what you are really getting. For the purpose of comparison, we recommend that you ask your service provider for these specific terms and fill in the chart below.

‍

Proposed Terms	The Termite Guy	Example Company B
Measurement	28,000	25,000 cuft.
Years warranty	Five	One
Annual continuation policy	$0	$300
Roof Damage Warranty (avg $500)	Unlimited tiles	none
1st year price	$2,550	$2,250
Cost over 5 years	$2,550	$3,250
Cost plus tile repairs (est.)	$2,550	$3,750

‍

Let’s break down each term to see how it affects the total cost and outcome of your fumigation experience.

Measurement

This is an estimate of the total volume of the home and required “bubble” to encase your home. There is some leeway built into the calculations, however it is always better to overestimate than underestimate. This number directly affects the volume of gas that will be introduced into the home.

These measurements are not commonly included in your termite proposal so be sure to ask your representative for their estimated cubic feet for comparison purposes.

Drywood Termite Warranty

The Termite Guy offers a free five-year warranty on all fumigations. This warranty is also transferable should you sell your home.

It is common in The Termite Industry to provide some level of initial warranty and then charge for each successive year. A typical extended warranty would be approximately $300. Over five years, these costs can build up, increasing the actual cost of the fumigation by $1200 or more.

Roof Tile Warranty

Many homes have tile roofs. These tiles can be fragile. During the Fumigation process, some roof tiles may be damaged. As a licensed roofing company, The Termite Guy can assess the strength and condition of your roof and provide a Roof Tile Warranty. We feel it is important to have this conversation up-front with our clients so there are no surprises in the end. While this may add some cost to your fumigation, it is typically much more cost effective than hiring a roofer after the fact.

Pricing

In the provided example, we can compare all of the terms and discern the true cost of fumigation. We can see that when choosing The Termite Guy this customer would save approximately $1200 over five years.

One Final Note

When trusting your home to a qualified pest company, be sure to ask the number of years the company has been in business and check their online reviews. The Termite Guy has been serving Southern California since 1997 and has performed over 100,000 whole-home fumigations.
