Drywood termite guidance for Sarasota–Manatee homeowners
Can Drywood Termites Be Treated Without Tenting the Whole House?
Sometimes localized treatment is an option. Sometimes whole-structure fumigation is the better choice. A professional inspection determines which approach makes sense for the activity and conditions at your property.
This guide is designed to help you ask the right questions and get the answers best suited to your particular situation.
The better question
Is localized treatment appropriate for the drywood termite activity in my home?
Avoiding tenting is not automatically the right goal. The right treatment depends on what the inspection finds.
- What signs were found?
- Where does the activity appear to be located?
- Are the affected areas accessible?
- Does the evidence appear localized?
- What does the inspection find?
- Is localized treatment appropriate, or is fumigation the better recommendation?
Built around the property
Specialized No-Tent Drywood Termite Spot Treatment
Localized drywood termite treatment is not based on one product or one piece of equipment. All American Pest Services uses a combination of treatment methods depending on where the termite activity is located and what we find during the inspection.
This allows us to build the treatment around the actual conditions of the property instead of relying on a single treatment method.
Precision injection
Injection treatments directed into targeted areas.
Professional products
Specialized termite-control products selected for the conditions.
Accessible spaces
Treatment of wall voids and other accessible areas.
Raevax technology
The electronic treatment system may be used when appropriate.
Combined approach
Multiple treatment methods may be used when conditions warrant it.
RaevaxHigh-frequency, high-voltage electronic treatment technology
A specialized tool
Raevax — Another Tool for Localized Drywood Termite Treatment
Raevax is a specialized high-frequency, high-voltage electronic treatment system that can be used for localized drywood termite activity. It gives our technicians another highly targeted treatment option when the location and conditions make it a good fit.
Raevax is not the only treatment method we use, and it is not appropriate for every termite situation.
Depending on what we find, we may use:
- Raevax.
- Specialized localized treatment products.
- Precision injection treatments.
- Other targeted treatment methods.
- A combination of these approaches.
The treatment plan is based on the inspection and the specific conditions found at the property.
Our approach
Inspection First. Treatment Based on What We Find.
Tell Us What You’re Seeing
Text us about the problem. If you’ve found termite pellets, droppings, wings or another suspicious area, send us a photo.
Inspect the Property
We evaluate the signs of termite activity, the areas involved, accessibility and other conditions that affect treatment options.
Determine the Approach
When localized treatment is appropriate, we determine whether specialized products, targeted injection treatments, Raevax or a combination makes sense.
Recommend the Scope
If localized treatment makes sense, we’ll explain the options. If fumigation is the better approach based on what we find, we’ll tell you that too.
Why All American
More Than One Way to Approach Drywood Termites
The property has to be evaluated first. We do not assume every termite problem requires fumigation, and we do not assume every termite problem can be successfully addressed with localized treatment.
Specialized Localized Treatment Experience
We perform highly targeted treatments ranging from very small localized areas to larger corrective and preventative treatments involving areas such as wall voids and attics.
Multiple Treatment Tools
Depending on the conditions, we can use specialized localized products, precision injection treatments, the Raevax system or a combination of treatment methods.
Raevax Technology
Our Raevax electronic treatment system gives us an additional specialized option that is not commonly available from traditional pest-control companies.
Inspection-Based Recommendations
The location, accessibility and overall conditions guide our recommendation for localized treatment or fumigation.
Straightforward Communication
We explain what we find, what treatment options are available and what we recommend.

Common questions
Drywood Termite Treatment FAQ
What is Raevax?
Raevax is a specialized high-frequency, high-voltage electronic treatment system that All American Pest Services can use for localized drywood termite activity.
It provides another highly targeted treatment option when the location and conditions make it appropriate. Depending on the situation, it may be used by itself or as part of a broader localized treatment approach using other specialized treatment methods and products.
How do you treat localized drywood termite activity?
There is no single treatment method used for every property. Depending on what we find during the inspection, treatment may involve specialized localized products, precision injection treatments, the Raevax electronic system or a combination of methods.
The treatment approach depends on the location of the activity, accessibility and the overall conditions found during the inspection.
Does every drywood termite problem require fumigation?
No single answer fits every property. Sometimes localized treatment is a good option, and sometimes whole-structure fumigation is the better option. An inspection helps determine the appropriate approach.
Is localized treatment appropriate for every property?
No. The signs of termite activity, location, accessibility and other conditions must be evaluated before a treatment approach can be recommended.
