Why Specialized Fumigations Is Used

• Penetrates deeply into wood, packaging, and containers

• Kills all stages of pests: eggs, larvae, and adults

• Required by many countries for ISPM 15 compliance (International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures)

• Effective against pests resistant to standard sprays or heat treatments

Common Uses for Specialized Fumigation

• Export and import of wood packaging materials (pallets, crates)

• Treatment of cargo, containers, and commodities

• Elimination of wood borers, beetles, moths, and other invasive pests

• Disinfection of grain silos, warehouses, or bulk agricultural products

Where It’s NOT Typically Used

• Not suitable for general indoor pest control

• Highly toxic — must be applied by licensed professionals under strict regulations

What to Expect from Professional Specialized Fumigation

Licensed experts will:

• Conduct a pre-fumigation risk assessment

• Use sealed enclosures or tarps to safely apply the gas

• Monitor gas levels and aeration to ensure safe re-entry

• Provide official fumigation certificates (often required for customs)
