How long does tenting for termites take?

Tenting for termites typically takes about 1 to 3 days, depending on the size of the structure and the severity of the infestation. During this process, the entire building is covered with a tent to contain the fumigant, which is then released to eliminate termites. After the treatment, it usually requires an additional day for the house to be ventilated and deemed safe for re-entry. Homeowners should plan for being out of the property during this time.
