From warehouses and shipping containers to homes and offices, our trained technicians manage pest activity quickly and efficiently.

Types of pests addressed by fumigation

Fumigation is an ideal solution for a wide variety of pests, particularly those that are difficult to reach or infest large areas. Some of the most common pests we treat with fumigation include:

• Termites: Termites are a serious threat to Melbourne properties, capable of causing significant structural damage if left unchecked. Our fumigation services target hidden termite colonies, managing even those in inaccessible areas.
• Cockroaches: Cockroaches are known for their resilience and ability to hide in cracks and crevices. Fumigation is highly effective at reaching these pests in their breeding and nesting areas, helping address the full extent of the infestation.
• Rodents: While traps and baiting systems are common methods for controlling rodents, fumigation can be used in large spaces to disrupt rodent nesting sites and ensure full control of infestations.
• Stored Product Pests: Pests like beetles and moths can infest grains, dried foods, and other stored products, leading to contamination and economic loss. Fumigation is an excellent method for safeguarding your stored goods from these pests.
• Insects: Fumigation effectively targets all stages of insect development, including eggs, larvae, and adults. This makes it an ideal treatment for managing widespread insect infestations in both residential and commercial environments.

Trusted pest fumigation services

Rentokil’s pest fumigation services are trusted by businesses and homeowners across Melbourne. Our fumigation process is designed to kill pests at all life stages, offering thorough and lasting results. We follow stringent safety standards to ensure the fumigant gas is properly contained and dispersed, ensuring the safety of your property, family, and pets. Our professional fumigation services are not only effective but also compliant with local health and safety regulations. Each treatment is carried out by licensed technicians who are trained in the latest fumigation methods and best practices, guaranteeing the highest level of care and expertise.

Container fumigation

The process of import or export provides pests many opportunities to infest the cargo and enter into the country. Quarantine fumigation of cargo containers keeps these disease-carrying pests from doing so.

Cargo & transport fumigation

Fumigation is a fast and effective process with no negative impact on disinfected goods. Once fumigated, wooden packaging remains a safe means of transport.

Silo & bunker fumigation

Pests in food can infest grain and commodities, resulting in loss of revenue and damaging your business’ reputation.

Structural fumigation

Our structural fumigation solution involves securely sealing a building and applying fumigant gas to penetrate the entire structure. This effective method is ideal for food processing plants, manufacturing facilities, warehouses, and residential homes.

Essential safety measures for effective fumigation

Safety is paramount during the fumigation process, and Rentokil takes every precaution to protect your property and those within it. Our team follows a rigorous set of procedures to ensure the fumigation is conducted in a safe, controlled manner. These essential safety measures include:

• Vacating the Area: All occupants, including pets, must vacate the area being fumigated to avoid exposure to fumigants. This ensures the safety of everyone during the treatment process.
• Following Instructions: It’s crucial to follow the instructions provided by our technicians. These guidelines help ensure the safety and effectiveness of the fumigation treatment, from preparation to re-entry.
• Ventilation: After fumigation, the treated area must be ventilated to allow any remaining fumigant gas to disperse. We conduct thorough air quality checks before you re-enter the space, ensuring it is completely safe for occupation.

Right pest control fumigant for your specific infestation

Factors such as the type of pest, the extent of the infestation, and the characteristics of the property all play a role in selecting the appropriate fumigation treatment. Our team is equipped to handle a wide range of fumigants, each suited to specific pest control challenges.

Whether you’re dealing with a stubborn termite infestation or need to protect valuable stored goods, Rentokil’s experts will select the right fumigant to address pest activity while minimising the risk to non-target species and the surrounding environment.

How do we keep safe from fumigants?

Rentokil prioritises the safety of our clients and technicians during every step of the fumigation process. We utilise the most advanced equipment and safety protocols to ensure proper handling of fumigants. Here’s how we ensure safety during pest fumigation:

Fumigant Storage and Transport: Fumigants are stored in secure, dedicated facilities and transported safely to the treatment site to prevent accidental exposure.

Gas Detection: Our fumigation technicians are equipped with gas detection devices to continuously monitor gas levels during the process. This ensures that any fluctuations are detected and managed promptly.

Respiratory Protection: When necessary, our technicians use self-contained breathing apparatus to protect themselves from exposure to fumigants. This equipment ensures that fumigators can work safely, even in areas with high concentrations of fumigant gas.
