Fumigation treats a whole structure in one go. Tarps seal the building, and a gas moves through walls, furniture and everything stored inside. It is the most thorough bed bug method and is kept for cases that have spread through a house or a small building.
When It Is Worth Considering
- Signs turn up in almost every room.
- Heat or chemical treatment did not work.
- There are too many belongings to treat item by item.
- All the units in a small building need treatment at once.

Fumigation for Lawndale Properties
In Lawndale, tenting mostly comes up for a heavily infested house or a small apartment building where every unit needs treatment on the same schedule. Each household needs somewhere to stay for 2 to 3 nights, so landlords and tenants should plan ahead. Our technician will explain why tenting fits better than heat or a chemical plan for your building.
Before You Go
- Take out food, medicine and pet food, or seal them in the bags the crew provides.
- Line up 2 to 3 nights elsewhere for everyone, including pets.
- Water the ground next to the foundation well and trim back any shrubs that brush the siding.
- Leave a clear path around the building for the crew.
Questions About Fumigation
Who says when the house is safe again?
A licensed fumigator. After the tarps come off and the building airs out, the fumigator tests the air with a gas meter and clears people to return only when the reading is safe.
Does tenting keep bed bugs away for good?
No. The gas leaves no lasting protection, so bugs brought in later can start a new problem. A residual product can be applied once the tarps are gone if your plan calls for it.
