Fumigation - very simply put is using a fumigant to control infestation in a particular commodity or place. A fumigant is a chemical which, at required temperature and pressure, can exist in a gaseous state in sufficient concentration to be lethal to a given pest organism. This definition implies that a fumigant acts as a gas in the strictest sense of the word. (Monro, 1961). Put very simply by The National Pest Control Association of America (NPCA) Fumigation is the introduction of a toxic gas into a space in a high enough concentration so that the gas fills all areas to kill target insects. Fumigants are toxic to all forms of life. Therefore it is possible to control all life stages of the pest. Fumigation is often the quickest way of controlling an infestation, saving time& money Fumigants can reach where sprays, dusts, aerosols etc cannot reach, such as deep into a stack, ship hold etc. Therefore highly penetrating Reduced residue problems in the cargoes..
