Fumigation Services
At Peter A. Thomson Moving & Storage we are constantly looking for new and innovative services to enhance and complement our already outstanding customer service. To that end, Peter A. Thomson Moving & Storage has formed an exciting partnership with the fumigation specialists, Western Pest Control, an industry leader in containerized fumigation. Their service works by using a scientifically proven treatment agent, Sulfuryl Fluoride, also known as Vikane Gas in the fight against bed bugs and all other household pests.
The partnership between Peter A. Thomson and Western Pest Control was formed to assist commercial and residential pest control operators eradicate bed bug infestations. Vikane Gas is used to eliminate bed bugs in all stages of life in entire structures that can be contained as well as office buildings, hotels and multi-family residences that cannot be contained by treating the infested belongings in our trucks, see below.
When complete structural fumigation is not an option, we can help. The process is simple, and extremely effective.
1. You, (or Peter A. Thomson, if you choose our complete Pack/Unpack option) will pack your belongings according to the packing guidelines provided by us. Once your belongings are removed for fumigation it is recommended that you have your place of residence treated topically by a licensed PCO and verified bed bug free by a K-9 detection service to be sure there are no bugs residing before returning your bed bug free belongings to you.
2. Peter A. Thomson will load your belongings into our air-ride trailer and will bring it to our secure warehouse in New Jersey for fumigation.
3. We will then fumigate the entire trailer using Vikane Gas. Vikane is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas that leaves no residue and eradicates infestation by penetrating 100% of a contained area and producing an effect that interferes with the all life stages of the pests ability to absorb oxygen to sustain life. It is completely safe to humans outside containment and causes no negative environmental effects.
4. After the fumigation, customers belongings are vented until the fumigated container reaches a level of zero parts per million.
5. Peter A. Thomson delivers your belongings to the new residence (and unpacks your belongings if you choose our Pack/Unpack option).
If you are unable to move and your residence is infested you can still take advantage of our combined services. The same steps as above are taken except while your belongings are being fumigated we work with a partner pest control operator to protect your home against the possibility of re-infestation.
