Our Techs are experienced in Pesticide Fumigation Services for Imports & Exports Containers, Bulk Cargo and Ro-Ro Machinery Fumigation treatments of commodities sailing from the United States to Colombia, Chile, Australia and Worldwide to minimize or eliminate the risk and spread of pests or disease.

Fumigation can be used to solve or control a variety of pest infestations and disease concerns on Food Products, Heavy Machinery, the Wood boring beetles and other pests. Fumigation also prevents the migration of pests from one country to another such as the Chinch bug present in North, Central and South America; But, not present in Australia.

Most Commodities can be fumigated using the Container Fumigation, tarping and other methods. The label of the fumigant used will indicate if a given commodity can and how must be fumigated. During Fumigation, Container must be parked on a designated area and Signage of treatment must be displayed during and after fumigation. Re entry time must also be posted and only fumigating personnel can be allowed in the area.
