Fumigation is 100% Effective Against Bed Bugs

When bed bug infestations are extensive and immediate eradication is required, Vikane® gas fumigant is the best solution.

Whole structure fumigation ensures the elimination of bed bugs. Vikane has been trusted for nearly half a century in the treatment of more than 2 million structures. It’s also the best option for total‑home drywood termite protection.
