Disinfecting with fumes, also known as fumigation, is a process of using toxic gases to kill pests and microorganisms in an enclosed space. Fumigation is often used to control pests in agricultural settings, but it can also be used to disinfect buildings, ships, and other enclosed spaces. The process involves releasing a gas, such as sulfur dioxide, into the air, which then kills any pests or microorganisms present. Fumigation is an effective way to quickly and thoroughly disinfect an area.
