Fumigation with VikaneⓇ gas is the only one-time guaranteed method of eliminating bed bugs in all stages.



Vikane is a clear, odorless gas that penetrates the entire area to eliminate target pests without damaging property or leaving residue. The best feature about this gas fumigant is that it penetrates all voids of a home, including deep behind walls and in bedding and upholstered furniture to reach bed bugs and their eggs. Fumigation is often sought out instead of spray and dust treatments since insecticide treatments may not reach deep into walls or furniture and cannot be used in televisions, computers, or other electronics where bed bugs often hide.

Treatments are offered for structural, container, and vehicle fumigation. A one-time fumigation treatment with VikaneⓇ gas is the most effective treatment option. When infestations are confirmed, the quickest treatment method is to treat the entire home or building at once and all vehicles when possible. Container fumigation is a great option for treating furniture, electronics, and clothing before moving into a new home or business space. There is a minimal amount of preparation needed for this gas treatment. The gas fumigation is recommended if you have clutter since the gas reaches all open areas. This treatment is most commonly recommended for single-family homes, stand-alone businesses or properties, vehicles, electronics, and books. Yearly training and specialized licensing give technicians the knowledge necessary to safely and effectively perform this treatment.

How To Eliminate Bed Bugs.



Steps to Prepare for Fumigation

Fumigation requires minimal preparatory work compared to weekly spray and dust treatments. Once your home, vehicle, or moving truck is fumigated no further treatments are needed. It is recommended to do a deep clean of all areas and items so that any dead bugs, shells, or eggs are removed and not confused with a new infestation. To fumigate, a current set of keys is required so that your home, vehicle, or moving truck can be locked up securely. Lodging arrangements need to be made before treatment day. Some customers prefer to stay with friends, or family, at a local hotel, or plan a mini vacation and return when the treatment is finished-usually 24-48 hours. Pets and live plants need to be removed from the home before fumigating. Any natural gas in a home or business needs to be turned off the day treatment begins. Consumable food and drink items inside kitchens and medicine cabinets need to be bagged up with special Nylofume bags that are provided for you.
