BMSB “Stink Bug” Season 24-25
BMSB Season 2024–2025: Melbourne Fumigation Services for Importers
The 2024–2025 Brown Marmorated Stink Bug (BMSB) season begins on 1 September 2024, bringing stricter biosecurity requirements for imported cargo. During this period, goods arriving from target risk countries must meet mandatory treatment and inspection rules to prevent the spread of this invasive pest.
For importers and exporters, preparation matters. Because non-compliance can lead to delays, holds, or re-export orders, choosing the right fumigation partner becomes critical. At Datts Logistics, we support businesses through the BMSB season by delivering fast, compliant fumigation services in Melbourne.
Melbourne Fumigation Services for the BMSB Season
During BMSB season, fumigation requirements increase across many cargo types. As a result, capacity, accreditation, and turnaround time all matter.
Datts provides Melbourne fumigation services that meet the standards set by the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF). Our licensed, on-site fumigators handle treatments safely and in line with current regulations.
Because we operate our own accredited fumigation facility, cargo does not need to move between multiple sites. This approach reduces handling, shortens processing time, and lowers the risk of delays.
High-Capacity Fumigation to Reduce Delays
Capacity plays a major role during peak BMSB months. Therefore, Datts has invested in infrastructure that supports higher treatment volumes.
Our facility can fumigate up to 50 TEU at one time, allowing us to process both small and large shipments efficiently. Consequently, importers benefit from faster turnaround and improved container flow through the port and depot system.
By managing higher volumes on site, we help customers avoid bottlenecks that often occur during the busiest part of the BMSB season.
Using Technology to Streamline Biosecurity Processing
In addition to physical capacity, technology improves speed and accuracy.
Datts uses modern software that integrates directly with DAFF systems. Because of this integration, treatment records, approvals, and documentation update in real time. As a result, cargo moves through the fumigation and release process more smoothly.
This system reduces manual errors, improves visibility, and lowers the risk of compliance issues. Ultimately, importers gain clearer timelines and fewer surprises.
