FUMIGATION COVERS

Fumigation generally involves the following phases: First the area intended to be fumigated is covered to create a sealed environment; next the fumigant is released into the space to be fumigated; then, the space is held for a set period while the fumigant gas percolates through the space and acts on and kills any infestation in the product, next the space is ventilated so that the gases are allowed to escape from the space, and render it safe for humans to enter.
