After months of looking and four failed attempts, we have finally found a house to buy.  We had the inspection done this morning, and the main problem found was termite damage to the garage, which is attached to the house by a breezeway.  The inspector recommended tenting the whole house, which means the lender will require that we do that.

DH wanted me to feel comfortable with the idea of fumigating the entire house with chemicals a few days before we move our babies and animals in, so I am trying to quickly do some research about the products they use.  Since MTers seem to be savy on things like this, I wanted to see if anyone can provide some input.  They would use Vikane and chloropicrin, which both sound awful.  But then so does having bugs eating our house from around us.

Has anyone dealt with this?  Does anyone know anything about these chemicals?  Any input would be most appreciated.
