How Pest Fumigation Is Done
Fumigants are filled in an enclosed space in a building or house that either suffocate or poison pests inside during a pest fumigation session. It is a pest control method which is effective to pests deeply imbedded and encroached in the structure of the home or office building. Pest control & fumigation are effective in killing termites and other wood borers which are hidden from the naked eye.
When conducting pest fumigation, large coverings like tents or tarpaulins are placed to envelope the area to be treated. When the fumigant is released it covers the entire area, with the fumigant remaining inside for a certain time in order to penetrate deeply into the cracks and crevices and reach the unwanted pests.
The area is then uncovered and properly ventilated until all the fumigants are dispersed completely, after which the occupants can re-enter the premises. In pest prevention, the tarpaulin serves to contain the poisonous fumigant which may affect the neighboring areas and households, and maximize the effectiveness of the fumigant against the pests. The fumigation treatment can require up to a week depending on the extent of pest infestation.
Various chemicals are used in fumigation, which are all technologically friendly to the environment and the chemical used more often is sulfuryl fluoride. This chemical has the capability of killing pests in all stages of their lives, including the eggs. Sulfuryl fluoride is safe to the ozone layer and is very effective against virtually all pests like termites, beetles, rats and bugs.
