Fumigation – solutions we offer
Fumigation is a procedure during which pests are killed, removed, or rendered infertile. The procedure involves the use of fumigants – highly toxic chemicals that, at certain temperatures and humidity levels, turn into gases that kill pests.
The fumigation method is applied when the pests present in products cannot be removed by conventional control methods.
It is worth noting that this procedure is extremely hazardous and may endanger human health. Since fumigants are extremely toxic compounds, excessive exposure to them can result in a death of an exposed person, therefore, the fumigation procedure should only be performed by licensed and well-versed specialists in the field (fumigators).
Methods of fumigation
Fumigation is commonly used to control pest infestation of grain crops and timber. This procedure can be carried out as a preventive measure or when symptoms of pest infestation have already appeared. When it comes to timber, it may be impossible to export it to certain countries without a fumigation certificate.
