Fumigation treats a whole structure at once. Tarps cover the house and a gas moves through walls, furniture and every stored item. It is our most complete bed bug method, and we save it for cases that have spread through an entire home.
Signs Tenting Fits
- Bed bug signs turn up in almost every room.
- An earlier heat or chemical treatment did not hold.
- A house holds too many belongings to treat item by item.
- A detached home where both floors need treatment at once.
How It Works Under California Rules
- SurveyWe measure the house and give you a written list of what to bag or take out.
- SealTarps go over the building and warning signs go up.
- FumigateOur Branch 1 licensed fumigator releases the gas for the time state rules require.
- ClearAfter aeration, meter readings must show safe levels before anyone enters.
Fumigation in Daly City
Many Daly City houses sit wall to wall with the house next door, with little or no side yard, which can make tarping harder. Our survey checks every side, the roofline and how close the neighbors are. Coastal wind near the Westlake bluffs can also affect the schedule. Apartment buildings and condos are rarely tented for bed bugs, and heat or a chemical plan usually suits them better.
Getting Ready to Leave
- Put food, pet food and medicine in the special bags we give you, or take them out of the house.
- Book somewhere to sleep for 2 to 3 nights for the whole household and your pets.
- Give the soil by the foundation a good soaking, and trim back shrubs that rest against the walls.
- Move cars and clear the garage front and any narrow side passage.
Fumigation FAQ
How do we know it is safe to go back in?
After the tarps come off, the house airs out and our licensed fumigator tests it with a gas meter. Nobody returns until the readings are clear.
Will tenting stop bed bugs from coming back later?
No. The gas leaves no residue, so bugs carried in later on luggage or used furniture can start a new case. Some plans add a residual treatment after tenting.
