This process is especially crucial for maintaining the quality and safety of goods during storage and transportation.

Type of Fumigation
Export Container Fumigation – Export container fumigation involves the treatment of shipping containers filled with goods to eliminate pests and ensure compliance with import requirements. This process typically utilizes fumigating gases and is crucial for protecting the quality of commodities during international transport.
Agriculture commodity fumigation – milled raw or parboiled rice can be treated with Aluminum phosphide, which releases phosphine gas to eliminate pests effectively. This preventative measure is essential for maintaining the quality and market value of stored agricultural products.
Always consult relevant guidelines or professionals for specific fumigation practices, as regulations and methods may vary.
Food grain fumigation – It is a critical process for protecting food grains from infestation by pests during storage and transit. It involves applying gaseous fumigants to the grain in a manner that ensures even distribution for effective pest control. This process is essential to prevent damage and spoilage of stored grains, making it a vital part of grain management.
Seed fumigation – Seed fumigation is a method used to protect seeds from pests and ensure their viability. It typically involves using chemicals such as Aluminium phosphide or Phosphine in airtight conditions for a specific duration, usually around 7 days. This process can be performed safely without impairing the seeds’ germination. It’s essential to ensure the sanitation of the storage area and to properly contain the seeds during fumigation.
Make sure to double-check important information and follow safety guidelines when conducting seed fumigation.
Flour fumigation – Fumigating flour is done with phosphine gas. The raw material of flour, wheat, is often already treated against stock destroying species before it is processed into the final product. EWS can fumigate flour to ensure that all stock destroying species are neutralised
Millets fumigation – This is a method used to treat large quantities of grain to remove insects that could damage the grain or pose a threat to the quality of the product, as well as to the health of those who handle or eat it.
Dry fruit fumigation – Dry fruit fumigation involves using phosphine gas to control stored product insects and pests in dried fruits and nuts. This method is considered an effective alternative for pest management, ensuring the preservation of the products during storage. It’s important to follow safety standards and guidelines during the fumigation process.
Fumigation of ready-to-eat food – is not recommended, as it can penetrate packaging and potentially leave harmful residues. It’s best to dispose of any food that has been exposed to fumigation processes and replace it with new products. Always consult with a licensed fumigation specialist for guidance on the safety of food items in any fumigation scenario.
Handicraft fumigation -Fumigation of handicrafts, particularly wooden items, is a process used to eliminate pests and ensure the items are free from any infestations. Methyl Bromide is commonly used for fumigating wooden handicrafts, such as gift boxes, potpourri, and other artistic items, to protect them during shipping or storage.
Storage commodity fumigation – Fumigation in storage facilities is commonly used to control pests and prevent contamination of various commodities such as legumes, cereal grains, dried fruits, and processed foods. The choice of fumigant and method depends on the specific type of commodity stored and the extent of the pest problem. It’s essential to follow safety guidelines and regulations when performing fumigation to ensure the effective treatment of stored goods.
Stack fumigation – Stack fumigation is a pest control method used primarily for the treatment of goods and commodities stored in stacks or bulk. The process typically involves three main steps: identification of the infestation, fumigation to eliminate pests, and subsequent sanitization to ensure the area is safe for use. This service is vital for maintaining the quality of stored products and preventing pest-related damage.
Silo fumigation – Silo fumigation is a process used to control grain spoilage insects in stored grains, such as rice, wheat, and maize. The most common method for this is Closed Loop Fumigation, which utilizes fumigant gases, often phosphine, to effectively eliminate pests while minimizing exposure to the environment. Accurate dosage, such as the number of phosphine tablets based on the silo’s grain volume, is crucial for effective treatment.
Vassal fumigation – Vessel fumigation involves the application of a fumigant gas to control pests within ships, vessels, or boats. This process typically includes placing fumigant tablets into the hold of the vessel, allowing the gas to permeate and eliminate any pests present. It is commonly used for cargo containing agricultural commodities such as wheat, maize, and rice to ensure pest control during transport.
Export cargo fumigation – Export cargo fumigation is a pest control process used to eliminate pests from shipments, ensuring that containers and merchandise are free of insects and other pests before transport. This process is typically conducted by certified experts who fill fumigants into the container or the shipment itself, effectively fumigating the cargo to meet safety and regulatory standards for international transport.
Fumigation as per ISPM-15 – Fumigation as per ISPM-15 involves treating wood packaging materials (such as pallets and crates) to prevent the spread of pests. It requires that wood be debarked and then either heat treated or fumigated with methyl bromide at a dosage of 48 grams per cubic meter. Methyl bromide is widely recognized by quarantine authorities and is a preferred fumigant for compliance with international standards
