1. A fumigation apparatus for decontamination, disinfection or delousing of a building comprising: (a) a source of fumigation solution;(b) a fog generator exterior to said building having an input flow of the fumigation solution and an output flow of a fog of said solution;(c) a hose for conveying said fog to a building to be fumigated;(d) a nozzle on the outer end of said hose that is formed of: (1) a body portion that includes a central bore axially aligned in said body portion through which said fog is pumped into said building through at least one inlet port in a sidewall of the building;(2) a flange extending radially outwardly from said body portion and coaxially aligned with said bore, said flange including at least one slot so that when said apparatus is pumping said fog into said building air is drawn through said at least one slot as a result of a venturi effect to improve the flow of fog into said building. 2. The fumigation apparatus of claim 1 wherein said nozzle further includes a pair of oppositely positioned extension arms extending outwardly from said body, each of said arms having a handle on one side aligned parallel with said bore and an engagement member on the other side. 3. The fumigation apparatus of claim 2 wherein said inlet port of said building has a nozzle receiving receptacle disposed therein, said receptacle having an outer flange on which at least one securement pin is mounted for engaging at least one of said engagement members on said nozzle to secure said nozzle in said receptacle. 4. The fumigation apparatus of claim 2 wherein said nozzle has at least two engagement members that are hook shaped. 5. The fumigation apparatus of claim 4 wherein said nozzle is secured to said receptacle by sticking the body portion into the receptacle sleeve and turning the nozzle to engage said engagement members with securement pins of the inlet port. 6. The fumigation apparatus of claim 1 wherein said receptacle has a centrally located aperture with an associated sleeve for receiving the body portion of said nozzle and being sized to conform to the shape of the nozzle flange. 7. The fumigation apparatus of claim 1 wherein said fog generator is an ultra-low-volume cold fog unit having a blower rating of 150-400 cfm. 8. The fumigation apparatus of claim 7 wherein said fog generator produces a fumigation fog comprised of droplets ranging in size from 5-50 microns. 9. The fumigation apparatus of claim 1 wherein said flange has a plurality of slots through which air is drawn into said building. 10. The fumigation apparatus of claim 1 wherein said fog generator produces a fumigation fog comprised of droplets ranging in size from 5 to 50 microns.
