Why
Buildings Are Fumigated?
Insects
that feed or tunnel into wood can seriously damage
houses, apartments, and other dwellings or structures.
Each year termites or other wood destroying insects
damaged approximate 2 million homes. Depending on
the extent or location of the infestation, fumigation
is the only total control method proven to eliminate
certain infestations of wood destroying insects.
What
is chloropicrin?
Chloropicrin,
a warning agent, is a colorless liquid with a strong
odor, causing tearing of the eyes and throat when
used at low concentrations, Chloropicrin helps ensure
a structure is vacated of people and pets prior to
fumigation with Vikane. It also serves as a deterrent
from early or accidental entry into a structure under
fumigation. At the end of the fumigation, your fumigator
aerates both chloropicrin and Vikane from the structure
before allowing you to re-enter your home. Please
