Whole-space treatment of a room, building, container or stored goods, for infestations that targeted treatment cannot reach — specialist work, after an inspection.
Fumigation fills a sealed space with a gas or fine treatment that reaches everywhere: a room, a whole building, a warehouse, a shipping container, or stored goods such as furniture, timber or food stocks. It is used when targeted treatment cannot reach the problem — a severe infestation, wood-boring insects throughout a piece of furniture, or goods that have to be treated before they are moved or sold.
It is specialist work. The space is sealed, everyone — people and animals — is kept out for the time the product requires, the space is monitored, and nobody goes back in until it has been ventilated and cleared. Some fumigants are among the most toxic products in use; Malta's rules on the professional use of toxic products list highly toxic substances such as hydrogen phosphide and methyl bromide separately (S.L. 430.06).
Fumigation is only carried out by companies equipped and trained for it, and only after an inspection shows it is the right answer. Often it is not: many infestations people call 'fumigation jobs' are better treated with targeted methods. We tell you which, and you deal with us throughout.
Fumigants are not household products. The Sustainable Use of Pesticides Regulations (S.L. 430.08) restrict sales of pesticides authorised for professional use to certified professional users. Do not use or improvise a 'bomb' or fogger as a substitute for a professional fumigation, and never enter a space under fumigation.
Fumigation is priced after an inspection: the volume, the product and the time the space must stay sealed decide it.
| Job | Unit | Band | What is in it |

| Fumigation | job | quoted on site | whole-space treatment after inspection; space sealed and cleared before re-entry |
The pest, the size of the property, how far it has spread and the number of visits decide the price. You get it in writing, VAT included, before treatment starts.
Rats in the kitchen, cockroaches before guests arrive, bed bugs found by a guest, a wasp nest by the door. Fill this in and it reaches us marked urgent. Urgent requests are called back from 07:00, or the same day in working hours. We tell you when a technician can come and what it costs — before anyone sets off.
While you wait
The price is given when we ring you back, after a few questions — before anyone sets off.
You deal with us. We arrange the inspection, choose a vetted professional pest-control company for the job — a CheckYourTraders member where there is one — and stay your point of contact through the treatment and the follow-up.
