Fumigation is a pesticide application method used to control and destroy harmful organisms (e.g. insects, rodents, pests). This process is generally done in areas such as warehouses, ships, containers and houses. The effective and rapid results of fumigation form the basis of a safe and healthy transportation and storage process between sectors. Since the fumigation process involves potential risks, it is important to take special precautions and perform it carefully. There are key points to consider before having the procedure such as expertise and training, correct fumigant and dosage, closed and unventilated area, marking and warnings, procedure time and safety, fumigant residues and cleaning, and compliance with local and national regulations.
Although the fumigation process is an effective pest control method, it is of great importance to apply it correctly and comply with safety precautions. Professional fumigation companies can perform a successful and safe fumigation process by paying attention to these steps and complying with legal requirements.
Fumigation should be done by experts. Authorized and trained fumigation personnel can perform the process using the correct equipment and in compliance with safety standards.
Fumigation should be carried out in a closed and sealed area. This ensures that the fumigant gas disperses quickly and effectively. The area must be ventilated after the procedure, but care must be taken to avoid leaks during the process.
It is important to keep the area under safe control for the period determined for the fumigation process. During the process, the area should be surrounded by security cordons and unauthorized persons should not be allowed to enter.
The type and dose of the chemical to be used as a fumigant should be determined according to the area to be applied and the harmful organisms. Use of the wrong fumigant or incorrect dosage may be ineffective or increase the resistance of harmful organisms.
Fumigation areas should be marked appropriately and warning signs should be used. This helps prevent other employees and unauthorized people from entering the area.
After the fumigant gas wears off, the area should be cleaned and its residues removed. Careful cleaning must be done to prevent residues from damaging products or surfaces.
Fumigation must be carried out in accordance with applicable local and national regulations. It is important that legal requirements are fully met.
