Fumigation
Pest control solutions carry out fumigation of all plant and plant products for inteded for through notified sea ports and airports in kerala as per guidelines stipulated in nspm 12,nspm 22,ispm 15ABIDE by instructions issude by dppqs & and australian fumigation accreditation scheme.
NSPM 12 – Fumigation using methyl bromide
Export consignments in containers or the bulk cargoes in warehouses are first enclosed in
an airtight plastic or cloth "Tent" that have there edges carefully sealed. Hot gas is then
released into the enclosure and allowed to remain for a specified time, after which the
tent is opened and allowed to vent. Hot gas fumigation is a safer alternative to poison
gas fumigation for some applications.
This kind of fumigation is effective to treat infestations of certain pests such as dry-wood
termites that are not easily controlled by any other way. We carry out hot gas fumigation as
prescribed in nspm 11 & 12 standards. Hot gassing will allow more effective distribution and
penetration of the fumigant, and will reduce the possibility of product damage and pest
survival.
NSPM 22 - Fumigation using aluminium phosphide
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.
Stored product insects 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. Shipsufficient 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 temperatures, best results are achieved.
Transportation containers exported from india 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.
It can also be used for fumigating storage structures like warehouses, flour mills, railcars etc.
