Fumigation handles an entire building in one go. The structure is sealed under tarps and filled with a gas that moves through walls, furniture and stored belongings. It is the heaviest bed bug option and is kept for infestations that have spread through a home or small building.
When Tenting Is the Right Call
- Bugs turn up in living rooms and closets as well as bedrooms.
- Heat or sprays have already failed.
- Belongings are too many to treat piece by piece.
- A small multi-unit building needs everything done at once.

Questions About Fumigation
How many nights away should a Calistoga household plan for?
Plan for 2 to 3 nights while the building is treated, aired and cleared with gas meters.
Will tenting stop bed bugs from coming back?
No. The gas leaves no residue behind, so bugs carried in later can start again. A residual treatment afterward is something we can talk through with you.
