Phosphine Fumigation Solution

Rentokil’s Phosphine fumigation treatment is a simple, cost effective method of eliminating insect pests in bulk commodities and can be used as a curative pest control solution.

Fumigation is effective in targeting Stored Product Insects (SPIs) such as beetles, weevils, mites and moths. SPIs can infest grain and bulk commodities such as cocoa, rice, nuts and animal feed – along with other raw materials used within food and feed manufacture.

Phosphine is an accepted treatment for most bulk food produce including cereal, grains, dried fruit, nut, rice, cocoa and coffee beans. It eliminates all life cycle stages of the target insect pest, with all the advantages of being non-tainting and leaving no pesticide residues.

Sufficient time must be allowed for the fumigant to work effectively. The time 'under gas' is referred to as 'exposure period'. When Phosphine is used at ambient UK temperatures, best results are usually achieved in 14 days.

Transportation containers imported into the UK from around the world can be conveniently fumigated aboard ship or in port. The flexible treatment option proves effective by permeating through the container and eliminating all pest insects within shipment.
