fumigation tent

Termite treatment cover

A fumigation tent is a large, sealed covering—usually of heavy plastic or tarpaulin—placed over a structure to contain toxic gases used to exterminate pests.

Houses being treated for termites are commonly draped in these colorful tarps: The whole block had fumigation tents over the houses.

Also called a fumigation tarp.
