What is Fumigant ?
Fumigants are pesticides that are volatile and exert their toxic action as poisonous gases in an enclosed space. Fumigation is a versatile technique that can be applied in a wide range of situations. In U.A.E. fumigation of commodities in the export trade is mandatory for quarantine or contractual reasons. Fumigation [Phosphine Gas (Ph3) Fumigation] is useful where a rapid kill of pests is required and for effective removal of pests from structures into which clean commodities are to be brought.
Stored product pests may appear anywhere in storage, during transport or in processing plant. A store is an ideal breeding place for pests because there is food in abundance, conditions favorable for their development, they are undisturbed and normally the pests are not endangered by their natural enemies. Most suitable way to solve this problem is Fumigation because only fumigant will reach the pests in their most remote hiding places, killing all development stages of insects’ eggs, larvae, pupae, adults.
