Discount Fumigation Inc

Pest Control

About us

Why use Discount Fumigation? We have been fumigating since 1975. Our experience with the fumigation process is unparalleled in Silicon Valley. We’ve fumigated just about every kind of structure to be found in the Bay Area! Unique situations, challenging set-ups, and awkward obstacles that cause problems for less experienced companies are no problem for us. You can trust us to fumigate your house or structure with confidence. We use only genuine Vikane® fumigant. There are multiple suppliers of fumigants. Only one fumigant has proven itself safe and reliable for over forty years. Vikane® is made in the USA by Dow AgroSciences, and has fewer impurities than any other fumigant formulation available. We are Commitment to Excellence (CTE) certified. Every year, our fumigation professionals undergo rigorous continuing education and examination. This goes far beyond the minimum required by the State of California. Our participation in this prestigious industry program ensures that only highly qualified fumigation professionals will be working on your property. We have the best safety and compliance record in Silicon Valley. Fumigation requires diligent care of the physical structure, working on roofs, and minimizing impact on the structure and surroundings. Fumigation also requires the diligent handling of chemicals. Fumigation companies are regulated by multiple government entities, including the Structural Pest Control Board, Department of Pesticide Regulation, Department of Transportation, and California Highway Patrol. Discount Fumigation has the best record in Northern California, with all of these agencies. We guarantee our work. Two years. No questions asked. When we fumigate for pests, we make sure we get a kill. We’re coming up on our 40th anniversary, so you can be confident that we will be around to honor that guarantee, too. We treat your home like it was our own. Discount Fumigation is there for you throughout the entire fumigation process – preparation, fumigation, and final certification. If you have any questions at any time, we are more than happy to answer them.

Discount Fumigation performed a fumigation of my house as contracted. However, in so doing they damaged 33 roof tiles. I was expecting some roof damage to occur as this type of tile roof is very fragile. I also signed a waiver for any roof damage. But I was quite surprised that they broke 33 tiles, especially since they said they would "take every precaution to ensure that there would be no or minimal damage to the roof." There are correct ways to walk on roofs like this, and I'd expect a fumigation company to know how to do it.I attempted for over 3 weeks to talk to the company about the damage. At first they said they would have a field supervisor contact me to come see the damage. That never happened. Then more repeated promises to contact me. Finally, they promised me the owner would contact me on a given day. That day has come and gone without any contact. Do *NOT* use this company if you have a tile roof.

My complaints are that it took awhile to get a hold of them, and we had some slight miscommunications along the way, but everything worked out in the end. Highly recommend having them do the prep work (which is $150 currently), because it is a lot of small details and it was just easier that way.
Description of Work: Discount Fumigation did exactly what we needed. They tented out house, fumigated it, and did all the prep work and tear-down. The prep team even came back and fixed all of the digging they'd done on our yard (digging down the ground, etc.). All in all it was a good job.

Following an inspection by TAPS Termite and Pest Specialists, we accepted their proposal. The fumigation part was subcontracted to Discount Fumigation, and they were very responsive in making sure we were well informed on what needed to be done to prepare for the treatment. We had requested that our roof TV antennae be taken down, and we would put it back up. Instead, there was miscommunication within the company, and the antennae was thrown to the ground and broken in several pieces. After inspecting the antennae to be sure it was broken, the company offered to buy another one and replace it. We preferred to buy our own and submit the invoice to them. The company agreed, and we worked through TAPS to be reimbursed. None of our plants or shrubs were damaged.

They did a perfectly fine job. As far as we know, they took care of the termites and bugs. They didn t kill any plants that they didn t have to and we appreciated that.
Description of Work: They tented our 1290 square foot house and pumped it full of deadly gases. This was to kill all household pests, but it was especially for the drywall and sub-terrainian termites in our home.

We thought the price was reasonable. They were very professional and they came when they said they would. They inspected everything with great detail and they were very efficient . I also thought they were very nice. We had not had any problems with termites since the work was done and we were very satisfied with this company.
