To manage the risk of the Brown Marmorated Stink Bug BMSB entering Australia and New Zealand, seasonal measures are in place for target high risk goods manufactured in or shipped from target risk countries as sea cargo. Together with you! Below you will find our treatment locations and their respective focuses. Their central locations and extended opening hours some locations even between 6 and 23 hours! We offer treatment locations in various European countries.
Fumigation is a treatment method that uses toxic gas to eradicate pests. While Australian and New Zealand authorities allow fumigation with sulfuryl fluoride or methyl bromide, only sulfuryl fluoride may be used in Europe. The cargo in the treatment enclosure will be fumigated with the minimum required concentrations for the minimum required time. If, after ventilation, all measured values are below the final threshold limit value, the cargo is declared gas-free.
Heat treatment is a treatment method that, depending on the packaging method, uses heat at the minimum required temperature for the minimum required time for the treatment of goods. Heaters blow hot, dry air into the treatment enclosure. The temperature is monitored by temperature sensors, which are placed in the coldest areas of the load. Heat treatment is a form of bio treatment, in the sense that no toxic gases are involved.
Imagine: You have a shipment of machine parts destined for Perth Australia, which needs to be loaded on ship 18th October at the latest. These target high risk goods require mandatory BMSB treatment. On 8th October you submit a treatment requestβ¦. Flexible delivery possibilities and extensive opening hours of treatment locations;.
If so desired, we arrange for transport to the export terminal;. Find all the information you need about BMSB, the risks, the need for treatment and the treatment itself. Due to its adaptability to human-made structures the BMSB has become quite the hitchhiker. The movement of desirable overwintering sites, such as cargo containers and other transportable objects, has been implicated in its rapid spread across the globe.
