Tenting is generally down for dry wood termites which is completely different from subterranean termites.
Dry wood is caused by being inside wood in furniture, beams etc and take years to do damage. Don't see flying, and first notice what looks like pepper coming from a tiny hole. I don't believe Massey
Or Deans cover for dry wood when you pay for a termite contract.
"Typically, the use of fumigation methods (i.e. tenting) is essential for treating drywood termites that reside within the actual wooden structure, whereas in-soil chemicals, barriers, and baiting systems aim to target subterranean termites that live in the soil surrounding the house."
