Fumigation treats a whole building in one go. Tarps cover the structure and a gas is released that works through walls, furniture and stored belongings. It takes the most planning, so it is kept for infestations that have reached most of the home.
When Tenting Fits
- Bed bugs have spread well past the bedrooms.
- Earlier heat or chemical work did not end the problem.
- There are too many belongings to treat item by item.
- One complete round matters more than the cost.
How Fumigation Works in California
- MeasureA fumigator sizes up the structure and gives you a written prep list.
- SealTarps enclose the building and warning signs go up.

Tenting a Coarsegold House
Many 93614 homes sit on sloped lots among oaks and granite, with decks, firewood and shrubs close to the walls. Ask the crew what has to be trimmed or moved, how the tarps will be anchored and where trucks can park on a steep or gravel drive. Arrange lodging for your family and pets, and plan care for any horses, goats or chickens.
Getting Ready
- Remove food, medicine and pet food, or seal them in the fumigator's special bags.
- Plan 2 to 3 nights away for everyone, pets included.
- Wet the soil beside the walls and cut back plants that touch the house.
- Unlock gates and clear a path around the whole building.
Questions About Fumigation
How many nights will we be out of our Coarsegold house?
Plan on 2 to 3 days away, until the home has aired out and testing shows it is safe to go back in.
Will tenting the house also take care of our RV or guest unit?
No. Only the structure under the tarps is treated. Any other building or vehicle where people sleep needs its own inspection and plan.
