Aluminium Phosphide Fumigation Service in Sri Lanka
What is Aluminum Phosphide Fumigation?
Aluminium phosphide fumigation uses Aluminum phosphide tablets or pellets that release phosphine gas (PH3) when exposed to moisture. This gas is highly effective against insects and underground pests, making it ideal for stored product pest control.
Aluminum phosphide (AlP) is a reliable fumigant used by Ceylon Pest Control to eliminate stored product pests in commercial settings. It's a safe and effective solution when applied correctly by trained professionals.
How it Works
Aluminum phosphide releases phosphine gas (PH3) upon exposure to moisture in the air. This gas effectively penetrates stored products like grains, nuts, and dried fruits, targeting a wide range of insects and their various life stages, including:
Weevils
Beetles
Moths
Mites

Fumigation Process Overview
A thorough inspection is conducted to identify the extent of the infestation, locate all entry points, and ensure the area is suitable for fumigation.
All food, electronics, and other sensitive items are removed from the area. The area is then sealed meticulously to prevent any leaks of the fumigant gas.
Trained professionals strategically place aluminum phosphite tablets or pellets within the sealed area. The specific placement and amount depend on the size of the space and severity of the infestation.
The fumigation area remains sealed for a designated period (can vary depending on the situation) to allow the phosphine gas to effectively eliminate the pests. During this time, the area is monitored to ensure proper gas concentration and safety.
Once the fumigation period is complete, the area is thoroughly ventilated using specialized equipment to remove any residual phosphine gas. This ensures the space is safe for re-entry.
