Containers or chambers containing methyl bromide laden air of 5,000 cubic feet or less that have been used to destroy insect pests - like bed bugs - are scrubbed directly by sweeping fresh air into the container and then forcing that air through a blower and into our scrubber where the methyl bromide is destroyed.  Small chamber fumigation volumes are small enough so that an intermediate carbon adsorption step is not needed. 

Methyl Bromide, Sulfuryl Fluoride and Global Warming.

Methyl Bromide is a potent fumigant.  When it is used with emissions controls that protects bystanders and the ozone layer then the user can be assured of proper environmental stewardship when fighting bed bugs.   Fumigations for bed bugs involving typical termite fumigants use as an active ingredient sulfuryl fluoride.  Sulfuryl fluoride has a global warming potential of 4,800.  In other words, if one vents one pound of sulfuryl fluoride into the atmosphere then this is the equivilent of venting 2.4 tons of carbon dioxide - not a prudent approach if one cares about the impact of fumigants on the atmosphere.  Ours is a comprehensive engineered system where we recommend using a very potent fumigant - methyl bromide - and then clean it up after use by using our proprietary methyl bromide scrubbing system.
