DEFINITION of Fumigation is termite and pest control with the street or enter fumigant to release in a closed room or hermetic (gas tight) for some time in the dose and concentration that can kill pests.
Fumigant is chemicals which in a certain temperature and pressure of gas can be toxic for organisms gadfly. Example: methyl bromide (CH3Br) and Phospin (PH3)
BENEFITS
Reaching pest to the place where the most difficult / hidden (in the commodity)
Effective pest control all stadia (eggs, flyblow, pupa & imago)
Do not leave harmful residues, so the consumer does not end
No damage / change the commodity (physical & composition)

TYPES OF FUMIGATION
A. Based on the needs of handling
Fumigasi CARE
Done to control the pest for the commodity (product) in storage (storage) and property (houses, buildings etc.).
ACTION Fumigasi Quarantine
Pest control for commodities as a quarantine requirements. Generally done for the purposes of exports.
B. According to the application process, Fumigasi Terminix divided into:
Space Fumigation
Treatment on the entire vessel fumigasi rooms. Eg silo, boat, home etc..
Under Fumigation Sheet
Pelaksanakan limited to the commodity that will perform with difumigasi
Penyungkupan under the plastic.
Container Fumigation
Fumigasi for commodities in the container.
C. Standard treatment fumigasi TERMINIX
Barantan-AQIS
Fumigation with standard treatment in accordance with the requirements of the National Quarantine (Barantan) - Ministry of Agriculture and AQIS (the Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service). This operation is usually done for export needs.
ISPM # 15
Fumigasi on wood pallet for shipping the commodity as the standard ISPM # 15 (International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures), which is derived from the demand of wood packaging pest-free by the WTO (World Trade Organization) and FAO

JOB PROCEDURES
1. Verification (survey)
• Checking the type and volume of commodities
• Scope of pests: to measure the dose and time of execution
• Time of concentration: the time needed to reach a certain concentration
• Location Fumigasi: secure from interference, just lighting, good ventilation, even and solid floor.
2. Preparation
• Security and safety: information to all parties
• The position of the commodity: clean and tidy
• Placement and distribution of gas hose & monitoring
• Location Fumigasi: secure from interference, just lighting, good ventilation, even and solid floor.
3. Implementation: The gas
4. Monitoring: monitoring the start & end
5. Aerasi: fumigan exemption status to secure a man (Threshold Limit Value)
6. Publishing Certificate
• Clearance SertifikatGas: security conditions in a safe environment fumigasi
