Shipping Containers & Fumigation Chambers

At Command Pest Control Ltd, our professional and highly trained fumigation team can handle your containers, under gas, as they arrive in the UK, either at the port entry or at the destination of the container. On many occasions companies in the industrial and commercial sectors are not even aware of the dangers their own shipping containers can possess. Containers that have been under gas can potentially expose their personnel to toxic gas, which in some cases could be lethal. In addition to ensuring your products and employees are safe, we can also issue gas clearance certificates whilst removing and safely disposing of any phosphine residues once the fumigation process is carried out.



With access to effective compounds such as phosphine, we can properly seal and pump gas into your containers to best prevent the spread of exotic pests and invasive weeds that will harm your supplies. We can gas, purpose-built fumigation chambers at your site and arrange to supply and install containers for fumigation or storage. On top of pre-fumigating your containers, we also treat containers filled with grain and agricultural produce using safe and cost-effective organic treatments.

If fumigation at your site is not possible, then transport your products to us, to be gassed in one of our own gassing chambers or to be gassed as a stack, in one of our on-site secure stores.

Please note that sending fumigated containers by road, whilst under gas, is now illegal in the UK.
