Tarpless fumigation and powered aeration of containerized cargo within a shipping container are disclosed. A portable fumigation containment door is installed in covering relation with main rear opening of a standard cargo container. The door is adapted with a fumigant diffuser for dispersing fumigant within the container. A recirculating fan disperses and circulates fumigant within the shipping container. Powered aeration is used to aerate the container through ports in the containment door by drawing fumigant laden air from the container while drawing in ambient air, while the container refrigeration unit is used to maintain a desired temperature.

A movable arthropod harvesting machine includes a frame; wheels connected to the frame for moving along the ground; an attachment surface supported by the frame and configured for being attached to by an arthropod; and an extermination section supported on the frame and configured for exterminating the arthropod on the attachment surface.
