Container Fumigation

Pests in stored goods, silos, and shipping containers can lead to huge financial losses and product contamination. Standard pest control often fails to reach deep-seated pests, making fumigation the most effective solution. At Seva Facility Services (SFS), we use advanced fumigation techniques to eliminate pests at all life stages, ensuring safe storage and transport while maintaining regulatory compliance.

What is Container Fumigation?

Container fumigation is a specialized fumigation process used to eliminate insects, rodents, and other pests inside shipping containers before transportation or storage. It involves introducing fumigants into a sealed container to penetrate all materials and eradicate pests at every stage of their life cycle.

Why Is Container Fumigation Important?

• Prevents Contamination – Ensures that stored goods remain free from pests, maintaining quality and hygiene standards.
• Compliance with Regulations – Many countries have strict import/export laws requiring fumigation to prevent the spread of invasive species.
• Protects Goods During Transit – Eliminates pests that could cause damage during shipping, reducing financial losses.
• Ensures Food Safety – Essential for food-grade cargo, preventing contamination that can lead to health hazards.
• Preserves Brand Reputation – Avoids product rejection, legal penalties, and reputation damage due to pest infestation.

How It Works

• The container is placed in a safe, enclosed area for fumigation.
• The fumigant is introduced and allowed to spread throughout the container.
• The container remains sealed for a specified period to ensure complete pest eradication.
• After fumigation, the container is ventilated, and gas residue levels – TLV are checked to ensure safety.
• Once cleared, a fumigation certificate is issued, confirming compliance with international shipping standards.
