Choosing a treatment method starts with the termite type, where activity is happening, and whether the problem is localized or spread through the structure. Hawaii's year-round termite pressure makes that distinction important.
Fumigation is mainly used for widespread drywood termite infestation when activity is distributed through multiple parts of the home. It can be effective for whole-structure eradication, but it requires planning, temporary vacancy, and follow-up prevention because it does not stop reinfestation by itself.
Localized treatment can make sense when inspection confirms a small, contained problem. Whole-house treatment is more defensible when infestation is widespread, hidden in multiple zones, or moving faster than spot work can reasonably control.
Inspection comes first. Call to be connected with an independent provider who can assess the property and discuss the treatment options that actually match the findings.
