    It is a bit variable depending on the construction and dose but I doubt if you'll be lucky enough to have it be less than a day, nor unlucky enough to have it go more than three days. The company will be able to advise you once they have inspected but expect it t be around two.

    You will have to move all of your personal belongings from the home. Areas in the walls/floors may have to be opened. Then comes the tent. Expect 7 days. Then the tent comes down. Then repairs take place. Then you move back in.....

    Tenting usually involves a large infestation. The Formosan termite colonies can be upwards of 100,000 strong.
