fumigation techniques

Fumigation involves using targeted chemicals or gases to eliminate pests like insects, rodents, or fungi from a building or stored goods. Typically, a sealed space is treated with a fumigant—such as methyl bromide, sulfuryl fluoride, or phosphine—that penetrates cracks and difficult areas. The process requires careful planning to ensure safety, including sealing entrances and ventilating the area afterward. Fumigation is effective for large infestations or when pests are hard to reach through other methods, providing a thorough eradication to protect health and property.
