Commodity Fumigation

Pests in stored goods, silos, and shipping containers can lead to huge financial losses and product contamination. Standard pest control often fails to reach deep-seated pests, making fumigation the most effective solution. At Seva Facility Services (SFS), we use advanced fumigation techniques to eliminate pests at all life stages, ensuring safe storage and transport while maintaining regulatory compliance.

Why Is Commodity Fumigation Important?

Commodities like grains, spices, nuts, and pulses are highly prone to pest infestations. Infested products can result in:

• Economic losses due to product rejection.
• Health risks from contaminated food.
• Non-compliance with food safety regulations.

What is Commodity Fumigation?

This fumigation process to protects stored food, dry goods, and agricultural products from pest infestations. The fumigants penetrate packaging materials to kill hidden pests without affecting product quality.

How It Works

• Commodities are covered with a gas-proof tarpaulin or stored in fumigation chambers.
• Phosphine gas is introduced into the sealed environment.
• The gas diffuses into the commodity, killed insects, eggs, and larvae.
• After the exposure period, goods are aerated to remove residual gases.

SFS Fumigation Process

• Pre-fumigation Inspection: Identifying pest threats and storage conditions.
• Sealing & Gas Release: Commodities are enclosed, and fumigants are applied.
• Exposure Monitoring: We ensure uniform gas distribution for effective results.
• Clearance & Certification: Aeration is performed, and a fumigation certificate is provided.

Benefits

• Prevents contamination in stored food.
• Ensures compliance with food safety regulations.
• Eliminates hidden infestations that surface pest control cannot reach.
• Does not affect product quality, taste, or shelf life.
