What is fumigation?
Fumigation is used to control pests like cockroaches, bed bugs in buildings. Our company follows all safety guidelines to effectively fill the enclosed area with gaseous fumigants (pesticides).
What is the process?
We seal and cover the area that needs to be fumigated. Sometimes in houses a rubber tent will be placed inside. This helps create a sealed environment and prevents pests from scurrying away to other nearby locations. Tenting is used for extreme infestations and for large buildings.
Once the place is sealed, we then release a fumigant into the enclosed space. The pesticide will then kill any infestation. There are many different kinds of pesticides to use like phosphine, iodoform or chloropicrin. We will discuss the use of products with you and choose one that will work best to solve your particular pest problems.
Next we make sure the space has proper ventilation in order for the poisonous fumigants to air out. We follow safety procedures and utilize high quality equipment in order to make sure the process is completed safely and effectively. This is extremely important. We make sure that the pest problem has been taken care of and then begin cleaning procedures.
We make sure you and your pets are safe. During the process you will be asked to leave the premises. We will ventilate and clean the premises and communicate when your pets, family or employees are safe to come back. When you come back, you will rest assured knowing that your pest problem is a problem no longer!
We strongly believe in preventative measures and will make sure to seal any cracks and open spaces. We always locate the problem, fix it and prevent future infestations. Our company has reliable and professional staff members that are ready to help you will all your pest control needs.
How long does the process take?
The whole process can take anywhere from five hours to a whole week. Timing depends on many things: like the extent of problem -is there a huge infestation? What kinds of pests are to be exterminated? What are the dimensions and size of the building? What type of building? How many rooms have become infested? What is the temperature inside or outside? (As it can affect the chemicals being used). These questions and more will help us determine what plan of action to take and how long it will be until you are pest free.
