Fumigation and Spray


What is fumigation




Structural fumigation techniques differ from building to building, but in houses a rubber (usually the tent is made of plastic\pvc coated canvas material) tent(s) are often placed over the entire house while the pesticides are being released into the vacant residence. This process is called tent fumigation or “tenting”. The sealed tent concentrates the poisonous gases and prevents them from escaping into the neighborhood. The process can take up to a week depending on the fumigant used, which is in turn dependent on the temperature and the pest.


Fumigation is a hazardous operation. Generally it is a legal requirement that the operator who carries out the fumigation operation holds official certification to perform the fumigation as the chemicals used are toxic to most forms of life, including humans.
