What is "fumigation"?

Fumigation is defined as a method of pest control that employs gases to eradicate pests within a specific area, typically a sealed structure. This technique involves the introduction of a fumigant—a toxic gas that is effective against a wide range of pests, including termites, bed bugs, and rodents. The process requires careful planning and execution, which includes sealing the structure to contain the gas, ensuring appropriate safety measures, and following all regulatory guidelines.

By utilizing fumigation, pest control professionals can address infestations that are difficult to manage with standard treatment options. It is particularly effective for treating spaces that are heavily infested or difficult to reach with conventional methods, ensuring a thorough eradication of pests hidden within walls, furniture, or other inaccessible areas. The precision in application and the potent effect of the gas make this method a viable choice in serious pest management scenarios.
