Termite fumigation is a process in which a structure is treated with a gas to kill termites. This gas is usually either sulfuryl fluoride or methyl bromide. In most cases fumigation is the only way to effectively eliminate a termite problem.
While fumigation will kill termites it is important to note that it will not kill rats. If you have a rat problem you will need to take additional steps to eliminate them. However fumigation can help to prevent rats from entering a structure by making it uninhabitable for them.
