In this sense, it is recommended that low-toxicity insecticidal gel, insect growth regulators and rodenticides should be placed inside the buildings in control stations, and in green areas larvicides should be placed to control mosquitoes, insecticides, granulated baits for ants and soil treatments to control termites.
While in structural elements they will have to be put termiticides for chemical barriers, bait systems for underground control and fungicides in areas with the presence of humidity.
On page seven of the document it highlights that it is essential that the fumigation services They must be carried out in strict accordance with current regulations and follow what is dictated by the standards NOM-256-SSA1-2012, NOM-232-SSA1-2009, NOM-017-STPS-2008, NOM-018-STPS-2015 and NOM-052-SEMARNAT-2005-
