Have you recently found out that you have a dangerous termite infestation? Have you recently been told that you will need to use gas on them because it is the fastest method of termite control and you

However no one would blame you for being a bit concerned about having your house filled with poisonous gas. It does not sound a very healthy environment to have to live, eat and sleep in afterwards, does it? The good news is that there is little reason for concern, particularly if you use a reputable firm with a history of using gas on termites.

Vikane is one of the most commonly used gases for the gassing of termites. It is typically used with a procedure called tenting. Tenting means quite literally erecting a tent over the whole structure involved, say your house.

The tent is then sealed as much as feasible, the Vikane gas is pumped in and fans are utilized to make sure that it is dispersed throughout your house, including your attic and basement. The gas is left to do its lethal work for a day within the sealed up tent and within your house.

On the second day, the tent is removed and the house is aired using the fans again. Delicate instruments are used to measure the levels of gas in all rooms of your home and when the pest controller is certain that the levels of gas have fallen to where your house is safe for human habitation, you will be allowed to move back in. That will typically be on the third day.

Vikane does not leave a sticky residue, so it will not leave a coating on your furnishings which you will have to wash off later. When the house has been properly aired, all the gas will have disappeared, although there may still be a few harmless pockets left behind rafters and joists in the attic and basement.

Tenting your house may give you grounds to think that the gas must be dangerous for surrounding wildlife or your neighbours, but this is not the reason for tenting. The tent is erected in order to retain the gas against the outside of the external walls of your house as well, so that it is treated from inside and out, although it does help prevent wasting gas also.

Vikane is targeted exclusively at termites, so it will not eradicate any other eco-system that has established itself within your house. It will not kill spiders,
