What is the fumigation process?
Fumigation is a method of pest control or removing harmful micro-organisms by filling an area with gaseous pesticides—or fumigants—to suffocate or poison the pests within.
Fumigation is a technique to kill bugs and pests living in the wood.
Fumigation consists in drying wood at 56°C for 30 minutes, as well as decontamination with heavy gas (a compound that, after spraying, does not float in the air but falls to the ground). The gas penetrates through the cracks in the wood and gets rid of all living organisms.
Sawdust around your home is a sign of infestation. Place your ear against the walls or other wooden objects. You may hear the ticking sound of termites. These pests feed on damp or unprotected wood and are tough to remove. Treat smaller areas of infestation by applying a borate and water mixture or through exposure to extreme temperatures. Gas fumigation is a catch-all approach that is best done by a professional. Secure the area so the fumigant can’t escape, then leave the gas there for up to three days.
