Pesticide Application “Fumigation”
Generally, it is a method of pest control that completely fills an area with gaseous pesticides or fumigants to suffocate or poison the pests within. It is used to control pests in buildings (structural fumigation), soil, grain, and produce, and is also used during processing of goods to be imported or exported to prevent transfer of exotic organisms. This method also affects the structure itself, affecting pests that inhabit the physical structure.
Follow-up
Our team will arrange follow-up visits if they are required. This will depend on the period of treatment used and the level of infestation.
