Fumigation must be with methyl bromide for 2 hours according to one of the schedules below and supervised by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA):

Fruit must not be fumigated if either the air or fruit pulp temperatures fall below 8.3°C. Where the air and pulp temperatures are different, the lower temperature must be used for calculating the concentration of methyl bromide required.
