Why it matters
Why Container Fumigation is Essential
Almost all goods transported in containers from food to leather, timber, or furniture, are susceptible to contamination. Common pests include mice, rats, ants, fleas, flies, cockroaches, silverfish, beetles, moths, mites, and weevils.
Without fumigation, even low-level infestations can ruin \entire shipments, cause cross-border contamination, and risk rejection at points of entry. In addition, untreated containers can introduce non-native pests into the UK, spreading disease and damaging supply chains.
Container fumigation protects your product, your business reputation, and your supply chain while ensuring compliance with international trade requirements.

How it works
Our Container fumigation process
Our container fumigation service is fully compliant, safe, and tailored to your needs.
- Assessment & Planning – We evaluate the container, its contents, and level of infestation to determine the right treatment plan.
- Application – Phosphine gas, generated from aluminium or magnesium phosphide, is introduced to the sealed container. This penetrates the goods and destroys all pests and their eggs.
- Treatment Duration – Treatments usually last 7–14 days depending on infestation level, humidity, and container size.
- Monitoring & Venting – Gas concentrations are carefully monitored, and containers are vented safely after treatment.
- Certification – Clearance certificates, required signage, and paperwork are provided to confirm compliance with UK and international standards.
We can fumigate containers on arrival, pre-dispatch, or even in-transit for time-sensitive shipments.

Frequently Asked Questions
The cost of container fumigation depends on factors such as the size and number of containers, the type of goods being transported, and whether fumigation is required before shipping, on arrival, or in-transit. Additional services such as monitoring, certification, and emergency call-outs may also influence the price. Because each shipment is different, we provide tailored quotes to ensure your containers are treated safely, efficiently, and in full compliance with international regulations.
Container fumigation is the treatment of shipping and bulk containers using phosphine gas to eliminate pests and their eggs. It is critical for protecting goods, ensuring compliance with international shipping standards, and preventing cross-border contamination.
Containers are sealed, and phosphine gas is applied to penetrate throughout the goods. The treatment duration depends on infestation levels, humidity, and container size. After fumigation, the container is ventilated, monitored, and a clearance certificate is issued.
Both options are possible. Containers can be fumigated before export, on arrival, or even in-transit for urgent shipments. We provide a full cradle-to-grave service including paperwork, signage, monitoring, and certification.
We provide fumigation certificates, all required documentation, and signage, ensuring compliance with Maximum Allowable Concentrations (MAC) and UK shipping standards.
