Fumigation

Fumigation is a pest control method that uses chemical vapors, or fumigants, to eliminate unwanted pests, insects, or microorganisms from an area. This process often involves sealing a space, such as a building or shipping container, and then introducing the gas. The fumigant penetrates materials, reaching hidden pests and their eggs. It’s commonly used in agriculture, shipping, and buildings to ensure safety and prevent damage. While effective, fumigation requires careful handling due to the toxicity of the chemicals involved, making it essential to follow safety guidelines during and after treatment.
