fumigator

Bug gas sprayer

A fumigator is a person or device that fumigates—that is, applies gas or smoke to kill pests, mold, or bacteria.

Professional fumigators treat buildings for termites or bedbugs, sealing structures and releasing toxic gases.

The term also refers to the equipment itself: The fumigator released a fine mist throughout the warehouse.
