Export Container Fumigation
Export Container Fumigation
Container fumigation is the treatment of a commodity within a shipping container or the container itself to eliminate the risk of pests or disease from entering or leaving the country or state.
Transportation containers have become one of the more popular options for the importing and exporting of goods requiring certification, bulk commodities, wood, logs, or wooden items (dunnage, pallets), or loose furniture pieces, which makes fumigation a convenient method of treatment.
Where required we can offer inspection services and treatment for Brown Marmorated Stink Bug and other quarantine high risk pests.
What Is Export Container Fumigation
Container fumigation is a process that uses a gas or other substance to kill pests and disinfect shipping containers:
Purpose
To prevent the spread of pests or disease into or out of a country or state. Fumigation is required for international transit and is mandated by national laws or the IMO International Maritime Dangerous Goods.
Process
Certificate
Chemicals
Authorised fumigants and treatments for container fumigation:
-
The fumigant Methyl Bromide is being phased out globally due to its damaging effect on the ozone layer. As a responsible fumigation service provider we have introduced Profume as a registered alternative in all regions.
-
Methyl Bromide will still be used where required for QIS and ISPM15 export purposes
-
Rentokil does not provide fumigation-in-transit services as this practice is prohibited in terms of the label as well as SANS 10204: 2006 Art. 20.6.5 and the FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization International). Therefore no container may be fumigated in transit with Methyl Bromide.
-
Quick turnaround time: 24 to 48 hours on average (under ideal conditions)
1. Methyl Bromide:
-
Fumigation using Phosphine is an accepted treatment for most bulk food products including cereal, grains, dried fruit, nuts, rice, cocoa, coffee beans and tobacco.
-
It eliminates all life cycle stages of the target insect pest.
-
It has the advantages of being non-tainting and leaving no pesticide residue, as well as being a cost effective alternative to Methyl Bromide.
-
Turnaround time: 5 to 7 days (Silos 10 to 14 days) on average (under ideal conditions)
2. Phosphine:
-
The active ingredient - Sulfuryl Fluoride - is effective in eliminating wood-boring insect and Stored Product Insects (SPIs) such as beetles, weevils, mites and moths in food processing facilities, cereal grain mills, grain stores, food or feed storage warehouses, as well as infested process machinery.
-
It is also effective in buildings where it works exceptionally well against infestations within the fabric or structure of buildings.
-
Turnaround time: 24 hours (dependent on the product being treated, and under ideal conditions)
3. ProFume (Sulfuryl Fluoride/SF)
-
A chemical-free treatment using dry transferable heat in a contained area.
