What type of fumigation requires specialized equipment and training?

Structural fumigation necessitates specialized equipment and training due to the complexity and potential hazards involved when fumigating buildings. This type of fumigation often requires the use of gas or chemicals that can penetrate materials and spaces within structures, necessitating careful monitoring and control to ensure safety for both the applicators and surrounding environments.

Furthermore, the need to create a sealed environment within a structure for effective treatment means that fumigators must be knowledgeable about methods of containment and ventilation, as well as proper safety protocols for handling potentially toxic fumigants. Training ensures that applicators are equipped with the skills to identify potential risks, apply the fumigant effectively, and manage the post-fumigation process to ensure that the area is safe for re-entry.

Other fumigation types, while also needing caution and knowledge, may not require the same level of specialized equipment or technical training that is essential for structural fumigation. Soil, grain, and warehouse fumigation generally have different protocols and hazards associated with their respective environments and applications.
