Fumigation
We offer two methods of fumigation.
We offer two methods of fumigation.
We have two fumigation chambers on our site, both equipped with a 'Speedbox' which enables us to take in infested goods for fumigation and keep them isolated from the main warehouse, therefore not exposing other stocks to the risks of cross infestation. The Speedbox heats the phosphine fumigant and circulates warm gas around the chamber, this greatly enhances the effectiveness and speed of the fumigation because it speeds up the release of gas from the aluminium phosphide plates and also encourages insect activity and therefore increases the rate of uptake of the gas. This service is also available for routine precautionary fumigations.
CO2 gas can be used to fumigate organic product. This is a longer process because it relies on the asphyxiation of the insects to achieve control, this needs regular monitoring and takes several weeks but using this technique, it is possible to achieve an effective control without jeopardising the organic status of the product.
Some of the more common products that we fumigate include:
