Pest control and fumigation in Katunayake

Katunayake and the surrounding export belt is where most of our container and packaging work happens, and it is close enough to our Ja-Ela base that short notice is sometimes possible. Freight forwarders, bonded stores and the manufacturers feeding them make up most of the work, and it is almost always scheduled against a cut-off rather than a convenient date.

Closest to our base

Katunayake is a short run from our Ja-Ela operation, which is why lead times here are the shortest we offer. It does not make an exposure period any shorter, but it does mean the crew can be on site quickly once a slot is agreed.

Forwarders, bonded stores and manufacturers

The work here is container fumigation before despatch, treatment of wooden packaging and pallets, and pest management inside the bonded stores and transit sheds where consignments wait. Empty container treatment before stuffing is the cheapest version of all of it and the one most often skipped.

Almost every job is scheduled against a cut-off. Booking against the cut-off rather than the day you notice the problem is the single thing that decides whether a consignment ships on time.

What to send us first

The commodity, the packaging, whether the container is loaded, the container number if it is allocated, and any written requirement from your buyer or their agent. That last item decides whether a job is possible at all, and it is the one that most often arrives too late to act on.
