Fogging vs Fumigation
There is a common misunderstanding concerning the differences and similarities between fumigation and fogging. Many people believe that they are simply the same thing, but this is incorrect. Fumigation is a somewhat outdated technique, which has mostly been replaced by fog. When people ask or search for ‘fumigation’, what usually require is a professional fogging service.
What is Fumigation?
Fumigation uses a formaldehyde solution to poison and kills insects in a confined space. It is has been proven to be very effective in sterilising a property.
However, fumigation has become unpopular for a variety of reasons, including the following:
- The chemicals it uses are carcinogenic.
- They cause allergies, respiratory problems and irritate the sinuses.
- They are corrosive and cause damage to the property
- After fumigation, all surfaces need to be thoroughly cleaned.
- Afterwards, the air also needs to be ‘de-fumigated’ with a special device.
What is Fogging?
Fogging is an eco-friendly and health-conscious sterilisation solution. Fogging uses a specialised machine to spray a fine mist of disinfectants.
Fogging kills:
- Viruses which can cause Hepatitis and Encephalitis.
- Bacteria such as E Coli and Salmonella.
- Spores which cause Dangerous Molds.
- Fungi which cause Histoplasmosis and Candidiasis.
Where Can Fogging Be Used?
- Neglected Premises – When an area has not been cleaned regularly, it is expected that the population of pathogens in the area will increase.
- Crime Scenes – If blood or bodies have been left to decompose at a premise, it tends to attract both pests and disease.
- Drug Abuse Premises – These areas are usually filthy and might even be filled with viruses deadly viruses which can cause HIV and Hepatitis.
- Nursing Homes – When there is a flu outbreak at a nursing home this can be very dangerous to residents. San Tech Pest Control can help to sterilise the facility using fogging.
- Hospitals – Bacterial or viral outbreaks also need to be controlled at hospitals and other medical facilities in order to prevent more patients from being infected.
