Product Overview
Fumitoxin tablets and pellets are aluminum phosphide fumigants for the controlled release of phosphine gas to control stored product insects and rodents. On exposure to atmospheric moisture, the formulation releases phosphine that penetrates bulk commodities, packaging materials, and structural voids, controlling all life stages — eggs, larvae, pupae, and adults. Pellets release gas more rapidly; tablets provide a slower release profile. Labeled application sites include silos, bins, warehouses, railcars, shipping containers, barges, and ships, applied by hand, probe, or approved automatic dispensing systems.
Key Features
- Aluminum Phosphide Fumigant: Releases phosphine gas upon exposure to moisture for reliable pest control.
- Stored-Product Insect Control: Controls listed stored-product insects and their pre-adult stages (eggs, larvae and pupae) when used according to the label and applicator manual.
- Excellent Penetration: Gas penetrates dense commodities, packaging, and structural voids.
- Multiple Application Options: Apply by hand, probe, or approved automatic dispensing systems.
- Versatile Use Sites: Labeled for silos, bins, warehouses, railcars, containers, barges, and ships.
More product information
Fumitoxin® Tablets and Pellets are aluminum phosphide fumigants designed for the controlled release of phosphine gas to control stored product insects and rodents. When exposed to moisture in the air, Fumitoxin slowly releases phosphine gas, which penetrates deeply into bulk commodities, packaging materials, and structural voids to eliminate pests at all life stages, including eggs, larvae, pupae, and adults.
Available in both tablet and pellet formulations, Fumitoxin offers flexibility for a wide range of fumigation scenarios. Pellets decompose more rapidly due to their smaller size, while tablets provide a slower release profile. Fumitoxin may be applied in silos, bins, warehouses, railcars, shipping containers, barges, and ships using hand application, probes, or approved automatic dispensing systems during bin filling.
