Mechanical foggers and aerosol formulations create an assortment of different particle sizes. To increase the effectiveness of the fogging, these particles should be blown or released as close to the ceiling of the structure being fogged as possible.

EXCLUSION SOLUTIONS

FUMIGATION
Our fumigation teams are certified and comprehensively trained in safety and current techniques for fumigating all types of containers, ships, barges and structures containing anything including food and non-food products.
MICROBIAL DECONTAMINATION
Safety from microbial situations is a growing concern in all businesses. Product recalls are increasing every year and can cost millions of dollars in revenue. While many chemical options can clean and sanitize, they often do not reach the entire surface. We can provide a clean break.
BIOREMEDIATION SERVICES
The debris, grease, and grime in drains, around grease traps, on grout, and under heavy equipment (like dumpsters) can lead to foul odors and unwanted bacteria. Those can not only hurt your reputation, but they attract pests and even provide a perfect breeding ground. A solid bioremediation program can help you stay ahead of organic buildup and unsanitary areas and conditions.

IFC has specifically trained heat treatment personnel to assess any facility for suitability of heat treatment and has the capability to supervise or provide a turn-key heat treatment.
