Fumigation treats a whole house in one go. Tarps cover the building and a gas moves through the walls, furniture and every stored box. It is the most complete bed bug method we offer, and we save it for cases that have reached almost every room.
When Tenting Makes Sense
- Signs show up in nearly every room.
- Earlier heat or chemical work did not hold.
- A packed garage, closet or storage room holds too many belongings to treat one by one.
- Furniture from a move or staging has spread through the whole house.
How Tenting Works in California
- WalkthroughWe measure your Chino Hills house and give you a written list of what to bag or remove.
- TarpsThe house is covered and warning signs go up.
- FumigantWorking under a Branch 1 license, our fumigator introduces the gas and keeps the dose and exposure time within California limits.
- ClearanceWe pull the tarps, air the house out and test with a gas meter, and you go back in only after a clear reading.
Fumigation in Chino Hills
Detached houses suit tenting best, and many Chino Hills villages are built that way. Some villages have an HOA that wants notice before a tent goes up, so check your rules early. Townhomes and condos that share walls and roofs usually get heat or a chemical plan instead. On canyon and hillside lots, we confirm access for the tarps before we set a date.
Getting the House Ready
- Seal food, medicine and pet food in the bags we provide, or take them along.
- Book 2 or 3 nights away for the family and the indoor pets.
- Give the soil next to the slab a deep watering and trim any plants touching the walls back by about 12 inches.
- Clear space around the house so the tarps can go on.
Fumigation Questions
What about our horses and barn during fumigation?
The tent goes over the house, not the barn. We go over setback distances and timing with you, and some owners move animals to a far paddock or stall during the tenting as a precaution. We put the plan in writing.
Does tenting keep bed bugs away for good?
No. The gas leaves nothing behind once it clears, so bugs carried in later on luggage or furniture can start a new problem. Some plans add a residual treatment afterward.
