The term “fumigate” signifies the process of applying smoke or vapor, often derived from chemicals, to eliminate pests or disinfect an area. Common examples include pest control in homes or the sterilization of agricultural lands. This process typically involves specialized equipment and trained professionals to ensure safe and effective application.
Historically, fumigation served a critical role in preserving stored grains and preventing the spread of disease. Today, its importance persists across various industries, from healthcare to logistics. Effective fumigation contributes to public health by controlling disease vectors and safeguards food security by protecting valuable agricultural commodities. The precise application of fumigants minimizes environmental impact while maximizing the desired results.
