Fumigation handles an entire building at once. Tarps go over the structure and a gas moves through the walls, the furniture and everything stored inside. It is the most thorough bed bug method we use, and we save it for cases that have spread through a whole house.
When Tenting Makes Sense
- Signs of bugs turn up in almost every room.
- An earlier heat or chemical plan did not hold.
- There are too many stored belongings to treat piece by piece.
- A small detached building needs every room treated together.

Fumigation in Corona
Tenting for drywood termites is a routine sight on Inland Empire streets, and bed bug fumigation uses the same process. In Corona it mostly suits detached houses, from older homes near the Grand Boulevard circle to 1990s tracts in North and South Corona. Condo and townhome buildings share roofs, so tenting them is an association decision. Check your HOA rules and notice requirements before you book.
Getting Ready to Leave
- Seal food, medicine and pet food in the supplied fumigation bags, or take them with you.
- Plan 2 to 3 nights elsewhere for everyone, pets included.
- Give the planter beds along the stucco a deep watering and pull shrubs back from the house.
- Leave a clear path around the house for the crew.
Questions About Fumigation
Who says the house is safe after the tent comes down?
The structure is aired out and a licensed fumigator tests the air with a gas meter. You move back in only after the readings show it is clear.
Does fumigation protect us from future bed bugs?
No. The gas leaves nothing behind, so a bug carried in later on luggage or a used couch can start a new case. Some plans add a residual treatment afterward.
