Aims  To evaluate the field inactivation of  Bacillus anthracis  Sterne spores with methyl bromide ( MB ) using commercial fumigation techniques.    Methods and Results  Eighty‐seven wood and 87 glass coupons each containing ca. 1 × 10 6   B. anthracis  Sterne spores, were placed in 22 locations inside a 1444 m 3  conference building. Four additional 12‐coupon sets (six wood, six glass) were removed from the building at 16, 24, 32 and 40 h during fumigation. The building was sealed under two tarpaulins and fumigated with  MB  at ≥225 g m −3  mean concentration for 48 h at 28°C and 83%  RH . All  B. anthracis  spores fumigated for more than 16 h were inactivated. A single wood coupon from the 16‐h set yielded ca. 2 × 10 3  CFU. No damage to the building or its contents was observed.    Conclusions  MB fumigation is a rapid, economical and effective whole‐structure decontamination method for  B. anthracis  spores.    Significance and Impact of the Study  MB fumigation offers a method of whole‐structure  B. anthracis  decontamination without removal of materials, damage to sensitive electronics, costly indoor retrofitting.
