Why is monitoring conditions during treatment important in fumigation?

Monitoring conditions during treatment in fumigation is crucial to ensure that environmental factors remain optimal for achieving effective pest control. Fumigation relies on specific conditions such as temperature, humidity, and ventilation to ensure that the fumigants penetrate adequately and eliminate the targeted pests. If these conditions fluctuate—perhaps due to changes in temperature or unexpected airflow—it could compromise the efficacy of the fumigation process, leading to potential failure in pest eradication.

Ensuring that conditions remain adequate is not just about evaluating the immediate environment; it is also about safeguarding the health and safety of workers and the surrounding area. By monitoring these conditions, the applicator can make informed adjustments, maintain the integrity of the treatment, and ultimately ensure a successful outcome.
