Methyl bromide fumigation is a process of using methyl bromide to control pests and protect products during storage and transportation. Methyl bromide is a colourless, odorless gas that is highly toxic to insects, bacteria, fungi and other pests.
The fumigation process involves sealing a product or container and releasing methyl bromide gas into it to kill pests. This is usually done before shipping or exporting the product to prevent the spread of pests to other countries.
Methyl bromide fumigation is commonly used to protect a variety of products including grains, fruits, vegetables, wood products, and processed foods.
An ISPM-15 fumigation certificate is a certificate that confirms that wood packaging materials (such as crates, pallets, or dunnage) have been treated according to the international standards set forth by the International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures (ISPM-15).
