Etymology

The term 'fumigator' is derived from the word 'fumigate', which comes from the Latin 'fumigare', meaning 'to smoke out'. This process has been used since antiquity as a method of pest control and sanitation. Fumigation involves the release of gaseous substances into an area to disinfect or purify it. The practice gained prominence in the 19th century with the rise of modern chemistry and the development of synthetic chemical agents that could effectively eliminate pests. As cities grew and hygiene became a public concern, the role of fumigators evolved, leading to the establishment of pest control as a professional industry. Today, fumigators must be certified and are trained in the safe application of various chemicals to protect both public health and the environment.
