Fumigation

Fumigation is a targeted treatment technique commonly used by pest management professionals to effectively control pests that attack stored goods and commodities.

Fumigants or in layman ‘gas’ used in fumigation are highly toxic to living organism including humans. Hence the use of fumigant is highly controlled by local legislation and is required to be registered. Fumigant is applied into an enclosed and air-tight space. With sufficient concentration and time, it will result in removal of stored product insects in any life cycle and also larger pest such as rats.

Correct and strict procedures by a trained fumigator are important to ensure that fumigant does not pose any health risk to humans or pets.
