OUR FUMIGATION CREW

Performing our own since 1998

SUBCONTRACTED LARGE JOBS

FUMIGATION monitoring

We use the Fumiscope to monitor fumigant levels on every job.

FUMIGATION monitor lines Multiple monitor lines are used to verify

concentrations in several areas.

FUMIGATION monitor lines Most lines run to the interior of

the structure.

FUMIGATION monitor lines One line is run to the exterior.

FUMIGATION guarantees

Monitoring is why KEY offers a 5 year guarantee.

Subcontractors usually only monitor large buildings.

Here at KEY, we use the Fumiscope on every fumigation.
