Good to know

Frequently asked questions

Yes. The space is sealed, treated and then fully ventilated and cleared before anyone returns. We manage the whole process safely.

It depends on the size and target pest. We give you the exact timing in your plan before we begin.

Yes. We supply the compliance documentation you need for audits, landlords or export.

It varies with the property or commodity size, the pest, and the treatment needed. A small home treatment costs less than a large commercial job, container work is usually priced per container, and silo or warehouse work depends on volume. We give you a clear quote after an inspection.

Most treatments take between one and three days, including the treatment itself and the airing out afterwards. Bulk and silo work can take longer. Your technician confirms exactly when it is safe to return.

No. Fumigants are tightly regulated and must only be applied by licensed professionals with the right equipment and training. Attempting it yourself is dangerous and not permitted.

Fumigation is for severe infestations or pests hidden deep in structures, furniture or stored goods. For everyday pests such as ants, cockroaches and rodents at surface level, standard pest control is usually all you need. An inspection tells us which is right.

In short, remove food and consumables, vacate the home with your pets and plants, open cupboards and storage so the gas can circulate, and follow the preparation instructions we give you. We provide clear guidance before the treatment.

The fumigants

Which fumigant do we use?

We select the right fumigant for the pest, the commodity and the compliance requirements. Here is how the main options compare.

Fumigant Best for Treats Key points Typical turnaround
Phosphine Bulk stored food and commodities Stored product insects in grain, cereals, dried fruit, nuts, rice, cocoa, coffee and tobacco Reaches all life stages, non tainting and leaves no residue, cost effective for bulk goods About 5 to 7 days, longer for silos
Sulfuryl fluoride Buildings, mills and machinery Wood boring insects and stored product insects in food plants, mills, stores and the fabric of buildings A modern alternative to methyl bromide, works well within structures and equipment Around 24 hours, depending on the target
Methyl bromide Regulated export and quarantine A broad range of pests where export or quarantine rules specifically require it Being phased out globally, used only where regulations still require it, never in transit About 24 to 48 hours

The right choice depends on your situation. Our certified technicians recommend the safest, most effective option after assessing the job.
