  Fumigation Services

The ISEAS Library offers state of the art fumigation service at minimal cost  to libraries, institutions and individuals in Singapore. 

The fumigation chamber is automated. It uses nitrogen gas to suffocate insects in all stages of their development and kill fungus as well. There is no chemical residue on the surface of the materials after fumigation, hence it is environmentally safe for both human and material.
