Bugman34 is right. Some houses need fumigation, and others can be successfully treated by means of localized spot-treatment. Maybe I didn't word the above properly. When I said I don't push fumigation, I meant as an only means of treatment. Terminix "pushes" fumigation only for drywood termites. Orange oil companies will do the opposte, and "push" orange oil even when the house is completely infested and really needs to be tented. We do both fumigation, and localized treatments as well as preventative treatments in vulnerable areas like Bugman34 mentioned. (attics, subarea, garage). Just be careful of companies who will let you think in 4 hours every termite in your house is now dead by means of orange oil.
