Fumigation treats an entire structure at once. Tarps enclose the building and gas released inside reaches wall cavities, furniture and stored belongings. It is the most thorough bed bug method and is saved for cases where bugs have spread through a whole home or small building.
When Tenting Comes Up
- Bugs or signs are in nearly every room.
- Heat or chemical plans have not worked.
- There are too many belongings to treat piece by piece.
- Several connected units need to be treated together.

Tenting in Burbank
Termite tents are a familiar sight on Burbank streets, and a bed bug fumigation runs much the same way. It mostly comes up for a heavily infested single-family house or a small building where every unit has to be done at once. Since it means arranging nights away for everyone inside, ask us why tenting suits your building better than heat or chemicals.
Preparing to Leave
- Remove food, medicine and pet food, or seal them in the bags the crew provides.
- Plan 2 to 3 nights away for people and pets.
- Water plants near the foundation and trim anything touching the walls.
- Move cars, bikes and patio items so the crew has room along every outside wall.
Fumigation FAQs
Who decides when it is safe to go back inside?
A licensed fumigator ventilates the structure and checks the air with a gas meter. You are told when people and pets can return.
Will tenting stop bed bugs from coming back?
No. The gas leaves no residue, so bugs that arrive later in luggage or furniture are not affected. A residual product afterward is an option to ask us about.
