Fumigations for Pest Control

For the performance of these types of treatments, fumigants are used, which are chemical agents (originally in liquid, solid or gas state) that are or transform into gases, expanding and with the capacity to eliminate pests that cannot be combated by other means.

In the case of fumigants, the particles and droplets, being gases, diffuse through the air and penetrate all areas (cracks, crevices, goods, etc.) which allows the elimination of pests in all phases of their life cycle, unlike smokes and nebulizations or aerosols, which are only solid or liquid particles, respectively, that disperse in the air but do not have the same penetration capacity.

Additionally, other advantages of fumigation are its effectiveness, as it is capable of eliminating pests almost entirely, without leaving residues, which allows these treatments to be carried out on food products.

For this reason, these types of treatments are usually carried out in the Food Industry, in order to eliminate any insects that may be in Stored Products (IPAs). Generally, they do not present a safety period.

They are also used to prevent and control large infestations in enclosed spaces such as containers, silos or industrial warehouses, where numerous materials are stacked and it is difficult to reach all areas.

Some rodents such as moles and voles are another type of pest that are usually found in meadows and gardens, which hide in burrows and are difficult to reach, therefore, fumigations in these cases are very effective.

At Gimasur we are certified applicators of phytosanitary products used to perform fumigations for different types of crops and pests such as the control of moles, voles, rodents, insects.
