   I need to have my car fumigated (vikane).
   I am looking for a company that does that in WI or near.

   Does anyone know of a company?

   You don't mention where you are in wisconsin. I grew up in kenosha. What part of the state are you in? If your around Madison you could try contacting the bug department of the university and see if they might help.

   Hi Jannifer,

   I contacted a member of the entomology department at the University during my infestation, and he told me that Vikane is not licensed for use in Wisconsin. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news :(

   sleeplessinMadison I think you may have gotten some misinformation from the University. I did a search for Vikane in Wisconsin and there are companies that do it in the state. You may want to check again and see if you can talk with someone else.

   Thanks for the heads up IveBeenBugged! Now I can look into it for when I move out of my hell-hole in August...

   Hey SleeplessinMadison

   I'm from the same area and I was given the name of an entomologist at the UW.
   His name is Phil Pelliteri, number is 262-6510

   I haven't been able to reach him yet, but if you talk to him, please lemme know too. I'm moving the end of July and am frantic about how to pull this off.

   Good luck!

   There's a PCO doing thermal in Madison. I know we don't traditionally associate thermal with cars, but it's worth calling to ask if they'll do it.
