Bed Bug Fumigation in Coalinga, CA

Tent fumigation for bed bug infestations that have spread through an entire Coalinga home.

Fumigation handles a whole building at once. The house is covered with a tent and a gas is released that works into walls, furniture and stored belongings. Because it is the most involved method, it is used for infestations that have reached most rooms.

When Tenting Makes Sense

  • Bugs have moved well beyond the bedrooms.
  • A heat or chemical plan did not solve the problem.
  • There are too many belongings to treat item by item.
  • You want one thorough treatment more than the lowest price.

Tenting a Home in Coalinga

Ask how the crew will fit tarps around fences, trees and any carport or patio cover, and where their trucks will park. During a hot Coalinga summer, plan where people and pets will stay with working air conditioning for 2 to 3 nights, and ask how the fumigator handles heat and wind on tenting day.

Preparing the Home

  • Remove food, medicine and pet food, or seal them in the fumigator's special bags.
  • Book 2 to 3 nights somewhere else for people and pets.
  • Water the soil along the foundation and trim plants that touch the walls.
  • Unlock gates and clear a path all the way around the house.

Questions About Fumigation

How long does a Coalinga household stay away during tenting?

Plan for 2 to 3 days away, until the home has aired out and testing shows the air is safe for re-entry.

Does tenting the house also treat my car?

No. Only the structure under the tarp is treated. Vehicles, a detached garage or a guest unit need their own inspection and plan.
