Fumigation

What Is Fumigation?

Fumigation is a specialized pest control method that involves the use of gaseous pesticides (fumigants) to eliminate pests hidden deep inside structures, commodities, packaging, or soil. It’s one of the most effective ways to completely eradicate pests in areas where conventional treatments can’t reach.

Pests Commonly Controlled by Fumigation:

  • Termites
  • Bed bugs
  • Stored product pests (weevils, beetles, moths)
  • Rodents (in enclosed environments)
  • Wood-boring insects
  • Cockroaches (in heavy infestations)

Why Fumigation Is Important:

  • Deep Penetration: Fumigants reach pests in inaccessible places like cracks, packaging, wall voids, grain silos, or under floors.
  • Complete Eradication: Unlike surface treatments, fumigation can kill all life stages of pests — eggs, larvae, pupae, and adults.
  • Ideal for Large or Sensitive Spaces: Used in warehouses, food storage, shipping containers, buildings, and even museums without damaging materials.

Types of Fumigation:

  • Vehicle/Container Fumigation: Targeted treatment of trucks, cargo holds, or shipping containers.
  • Structural Fumigation: Enclosing buildings or areas and applying gas to eliminate pests.
  • Commodity Fumigation: Treating stored goods, grains, or packaging in silos, containers, or chambers.

Safety & Expertise Matter:

Fumigation uses toxic gases that require careful handling. It must be done by licensed professionals following strict safety protocols, including:

  • Gas monitoring
  • Proper sealing
  • Ventilation after treatment
  • Re-entry certification

Did You Know?

Fumigation doesn’t leave residues — making it perfect for treating food-related storage.

Some fumigants can penetrate up to 2 meters into packaging or structural material.

Used Worldwide: Fumigation is essential for international trade — shipping containers are often fumigated to prevent invasive pests from spreading across borders.
