Cargo fumigation is the process of introducing a gas or fumigant into a vessel, container, warehouse, or other enclosure in order to eliminate insect pests, mites, or other harmful organisms from the cargo. Cargo fumigation is an important component of the process of transporting goods from one location to another, as it helps prevent the spread of pests and diseases from one area to another. Cargo fumigation has been around for centuries and is still used extensively today.
When cargo fumigation is required, the fumigant is usually released into the cargo space as a gas, vapor, or aerosol. The fumigant is then allowed to remain in the cargo space for a period of time, typically lasting several days, in order to kill any pests or organisms present. The fumigant may be a single chemical or a combination of several different chemicals, depending on the type of pest or organism being targeted.
Cargo fumigation is performed by a professional fumigation company and is typically done just prior to the start of the journey. The fumigation company will inspect the cargo, determine the type of fumigant that is needed, and then release the fumigant into the cargo space. Once the fumigant has been released, the cargo will be monitored for the duration of the journey, to ensure that the fumigant is effective in eliminating the pests and organisms present.
