The Effectiveness of Methyl Bromide Fumigation

The International Plant Protection Convention allows the use of methyl bromide to fumigate hardwood packaging materials for export. However, while fumigants effectively eliminate current infestations, they don't offer long-term protection. To prevent re-infestation, ensure treated timber is packaged or shipped within 21 days.
Methyl bromide fumigation specialists carefully calculate the proper amount based on the unique scenario, dosage of methyl bromide for fumigation typically ranges from 32 to 80 grams per cubic meter, in accordance with overseas quarantine requirements.
Maintaining the appropriate fumigation time is critical for total bug removal.
Temperature is critical; maintaining an appropriate temperature maximises the gas’s efficacy.
