Tru-Guard vs. Fumigation: Which Termite Treatment is Right for You?
At Truly Nolen, we understand that choosing the right termite treatment is an important decision. That’s why we offer both our advanced Tru-Guard™ Program and traditional fumigation services, each with unique advantages depending on your home and the severity of infestation.
Explore the benefits of each option below to help you make the best choice for your property.
Why Choose Tru-Guard™?
Our Tru-Guard™ Program is a long-term, eco-conscious solution ideal for homes with accessible termite infestations or as a preventative treatment.
Key Benefits:
-
Residual, Long-Term Protection: Continues working after treatment to guard against future activity.
-
Minimal Inconvenience: No need to leave your home; treatment is completed in hours, not days.
-
Low-Impact: Uses a colorless, odorless, borate-based product that’s environmentally friendly.
-
Synergistic Results: Can be combined with barrier treatments for comprehensive “all termite” coverage.
-
Annual Inspections: Ongoing peace of mind with yearly follow-ups included.
-
Preventative Option: Can be applied before any termite activity or damage is detected.
Considerations:
-
May require additional follow-up treatments.
-
Cannot reach inaccessible wood areas.
-
Involves drilling small holes into wood.
-
Some furniture may need to be moved to access treatment areas.
-
Not all homes qualify due to:
-
Multiple or widespread infestations
-
Infestations in laminated materials (e.g., mobile homes or lower-quality cabinetry)
-
Limited access to affected areas (e.g., flat roofs or unique architecture)
-
Significant infestations in wood flooring
-
Homeowner concerns about visible drill holes
-
Why Choose Fumigation?
Fumigation remains the gold standard for eliminating widespread or hard-to-reach drywood termite infestations in a single treatment.
Key Benefits:
-
Nearly 100% Effectiveness: Kills drywood termites throughout the structure with one service.
-
Penetrates Inaccessible Areas: Reaches locations that other treatments cannot.
-
Minimal Cleanup Afterward: No need to wash dishes, toys, or surfaces post-treatment.
-
Safe & Non-Invasive: You’re not exposed during service; fumigant is colorless, odorless, and doesn’t contaminate groundwater.
Considerations:
-
Requires relocation for at least two nights.
-
Involves extensive prep, including removal of food, medications, plants, and other items.
-
May incur extra costs for lodging, dining, and pet boarding.
-
No residual protection after treatment.
-
Possibility of tent or plant damage.
-
Not available as a preventative service—only for active infestations.
-
Fumigant dissipates into the atmosphere once complete.
Our Recommendation
We’ll assess your home’s unique needs—whether it’s a localized issue or a full-structure infestation—and recommend the most effective treatment for your situation.
-
Mild to moderate, localized infestations? ➡️ Tru-Guard™ may be the right fit.
-
Severe, widespread, or hidden infestations? ➡️ Fumigation may be necessary.
Still not sure? Our team is here to help.
Important Note
If fumigation is recommended due to infestation severity or structural limitations, and you choose Tru-Guard™ instead, please be aware:
Choosing Tru-Guard™ does not guarantee a free fumigation later if the infestation isn’t fully eliminated.
