Commodity and Silo Fumigation

Commodity and silo fumigation

Bulk stored food is a target for insects that can ruin an entire batch. We fumigate grain, feed, nuts and dry goods to eliminate pests at every life stage, without tainting the product.

What we protect

Protecting your stored commodities

Stored product insects such as weevils, grain beetles, moths and mites burrow into bulk food and breed unseen. A single infested batch can spoil large volumes of stock and fail quality checks. Fumigation reaches deep into the commodity and treats the whole volume at once, killing eggs, larvae, pupae and adults together.

Grain and cereals

Maize, wheat, rice, sorghum and other cereals stored in bulk or in bags.

Nuts and dried foods

Nuts, dried fruit, cocoa, coffee beans, spices and similar dry commodities.

Animal feed

Bulk animal feed and feed ingredients held in stores, bins and silos.

Silo fumigation

Treating whole silos at once

Silo fumigation lets us treat very large volumes of grain, feed and cereals in a single operation, saving time and cost compared with treating smaller lots. The fumigant gas penetrates throughout the stored commodity to reach pests wherever they are hiding.

A properly sealed and pressure tested silo is essential for an effective treatment, so we check the structure before we start, and monitor gas levels throughout to confirm the right concentration is held for the full exposure period.

Our process

How a commodity fumigation works

01

Assess and seal

We inspect the commodity and store or silo, identify the pest, and seal the space so the gas is contained.

02

Apply fumigant

We introduce the right fumigant at the correct dose for the commodity type and volume.

03

Monitor

We monitor gas concentration throughout the exposure period to confirm the treatment is effective.

04

Aerate and clear

We fully ventilate the space and confirm safe gas readings before it is reopened and the stock released.
