How Do Grain Fumigation Services Work?
At Total Pest Control, our grain fumigation services involve sealing the storage facility and introducing gaseous pesticides (fumigants) to eliminate pests within stored grain. Our process ensures thorough penetration of the grain mass, targeting pests at all life stages. After treatment, the facility is ventilated to remove fumigants, making the grain safe for storage or distribution. Choose Total Pest Control for quick and efficient grain fumigation services.
