A person without a credential can help with the setup and site preparation prior to fumigation and the clean up activities after the space is cleared and the fumigation is complete. These tasks may include moving unopened product, sealing spaces and placarding in advance of the fumigation application, or breaking seals and disposal of wastes after aeration is complete.

One credentialed person may apply a fumigant when no entry into a structure is necessary to complete the fumigation. Two credentialed persons must be on-site whenever fumigation requires entry into a structure. Only a person with applicator credential (Pesticide Applicator License or Private Applicator Certification with Fumigation Endorsement) is deemed properly trained to apply fumigant and perform the related tasks.

Some fumigant labels now require a FMP. This document which the applicator completes for every fumigation describes the planned fumigation process. The US EPA and manufacturers agreed to adopt the FMP because of the human health risk posed by phosphine fumigants. Product stewardship agreements such as the FMP allow for reregistration of certain products while assuring protections for users and other individuals near the application area.

You may either create an original FMP or use an existing template. Multiple templates are available online. For example, the Nebraska Department of Agriculture (NDA) has a template, Fumigation Management Plan Template | Nebraska Department of Agriculture (PDF).

A person credentialed as an applicator must complete the FMP. It must be specific for each treatment site, up to date, available for review, and carefully followed. Information on the plan includes emergency contact information, personnel credentials and notification, site logistics, application procedures and fumigation period, steps for sealing, posting, monitoring of site and after fumigation procedures. The product Applicator Manual contains a full list of FMP requirements.
