 Termite & Fumigation
Fumigation is the process where insects are eliminated from a structure with the use of lethal gas.
The fumigator must aerate a structure, so that the concentration of Vikane in the air is five (5) parts per million (ppm) or less prior to allowing reentry.
The fumigator is required to post a reentry notice on the property at the time the structure is actually deemed safe for occupancy.

Fumigation also permits lesser quality primary fuels to be used to fuel a diesel engine in substitution for at least a portion of the higher quality diesel fuel normally required.
The constant proportion fumigation fuel/air mixture generated by the mixer is variably drawn into the main passageway in response to the variable pressure drop created by the variation of the throat area of the restriction means in response to engine air flow passing through the main air passageway.
The fumigation system may further comprise a fumigation fuel tank, a regulator (which is preferrably a demand regulator) coupled to the fumigation fuel tank for regulating the flow of fumigation fuel from the fumigation fuel tank, and a solenoid valve coupled between the fumigation fuel tank and the regulator.

 Methyl Bromide Fumigation 101
While some countries may not recognize fumigation as an adequate treatment method, it is commonly believed that fumigation will generally be as accepted as heat treatment by most U.S. trading partners.
When it comes to cost, fumigation tends to be a bit more expensive per treated load, but it does not have the considerable upfront expenditure associated with installing a heat treatment system.
Fumigation may be less expensive in places such as port cities where there tend to be more fumigators and greater competition for treatment business.

 Fumigation
Fumigation is a method of pest control that completely fills an area with gaseous pesticides to suffocate or poison the pests within.
It is utilized for control of pests in buildings (structural fumigation), soil, grain, and produce, and is also used during processing of goods to be imported or exported to prevent transfer of exotic organisms.
Structural fumigating techniques differ from building to building, but in houses a rubber tent is often placed over the entire house while the pesticides are being released into the residence.

 GRDC - Crop Doctor - Fumigation reveals the soil's real potential (South, 23 Dec 2004)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-09)
In recent trials on South Australia's Eyre Peninsula, fumigation was used to determine the true potential of the region's highly calcareous alkaline grey soils as part of a national fumigation project supported by growers and the Australian Government through the Grains Research and Development Corporation.
Most sites responded well to the nutrition and fumigation treatments, but at some sites, such as Penong on western Eyre Peninsula, the highest yields were only half of the potential, so there are probably others constraints that still need to be identified.
Fumigation is not an affordable or practical option for broadacre farmers, but it can identify the potential productivity gains to be made where effective control options can be developed.
