Bed Bug Fumigation in Downieville, CA

Fumigation treats a whole building at once. The crew seals the structure under a tent and releases a gas that gets into walls, furniture and stored items. It is the heaviest bed bug option and is meant for infestations that have spread throughout a home.

When Tenting Makes Sense

• The infestation has moved out of the bedrooms and into most rooms of the building.
• Earlier heat or chemical treatment did not finish the job.
• The home is packed with stored items that would be hard to treat one by one.
• Bugs are living inside wall voids throughout the structure.

Tenting in Downieville

Tenting is rare in a small canyon town. It takes a full crew, heavy equipment and several days on site, and buildings set close together or against steep slopes and river banks can be hard to wrap. If we propose it, our quote will explain why heat or chemical work would not be enough. Book your 2 to 3 nights of lodging early, since rooms in town are few.

How to Prepare

• Seal food, pet food and medicines in the bags the fumigator gives you, or take them out.
• Arrange 2 to 3 nights away for everyone, pets included.
• Soak the soil along the foundation and cut back any shrubs touching the siding.
• Move firewood, bikes and gear away from the siding.
