The process of using gaseous pesticides called fumigants for filling an area for the suffocation or poisoning of pests is referred to as fumigation. It is commonly used in buildings, factories, soil, silos, etc., to prevent the degradation of the facility by pests such as rodents, cockroaches, mosquitoes, etc. Also, fumigation is practiced before the import and after the import of goods to curb the transfer, or spread of exotic organisms (introduced species). These organisms have the potential to affect the balance of the local ecosystem if left unchecked. In the U.S., for instance, the United States Department of Agriculture checks for the presence of exotic organisms during the import of goods into the U.S., and they’ll not be allowed to enter the country without a proper fumigation certificate from a designated fumigator. Most countries prevent the import of goods without a fumigation certificate to keep a check on alien organisms. Fumigation is usually performed in two ways. Routine treatment even when pests or insects are not found is referred to as prophylactic, whereas tactical fumigation is when treatment is done after the first signs of infestation. Presently, phosphine and methyl bromide are commonly used in fumigation machines for the fumigation of grains. The increasing demand for preventing the spread of pests across industries is helping in the growth of the global fumigation machine market.
