Process
Fumigation process is usually done in stages. As a first step, the entire area that requires fumigation sealed or closed. Time, the area is fumigated, the chemicals are released in a confined space that may house, office, warehouse or storage complexes, cellar, container cargo ships, etc. In the third stage, a fumigant is allowed to completely fill the enclosed space and kill pests itself (woodborers, termites) or infestations of pests (eggs, larvae). Finally, the area is well ventilated with fresh air and sunshine so that no trace of chemical or gas is left behind.
