What is a Fumigant?

Fumigants are pesticides that are volatile and exert their toxic action as poisonous gases in an enclosed space. Fumigation is a versatile technique that can be applied in a wide range of situations. It should be undertaken only when management is satisfied that a need to carry out pest control exists, that fumigation is the appropriate process, and that the fumigation may be safely and effectively carried out. In U.A.E. fumigation of commodities in the export trade is mandatory for quarantine or contractual reasons.

Fumigation is useful where a rapid kill of pests is required and for effective removal of pests from structures into which clean commodities are to be brought.

Problems caused by Stored Product Pests:

Direct damage where the kernels are hollowed or otherwise damaged
Contamination of stored products with live or dead insects (at all stages of growth) eg: cast skins and droppings
Damage to wooden structures and various types of food packaging
Moulding and caking of stored products : Insect activity in grain may produce heat and moisture, which can facilitate the growth of moulds and lead to caking, such a condition can adversely affect germination

Negative effects of infestation on stored products:

Feed attacks
Modification of ingredients
Adverse effect on taste and smell
Modification of appearance
Residues of metabolism
Health damage
Consequential damage

The Food and Agriculture Organization of United Nations estimated that the amount of food damaged or destroyed by insect pests each year would be sufficient to feed several hundred million people. Stored product pests may appear anywhere in storage, during transport or in processing plant. A store is an ideal breeding place for pests because there is food in abundance, conditions favorable for their development, they are undisturbed and normally the pests are not endangered by their natural enemies. Most suitable way to solve this problem is Fumigation because only fumigant will reach the pests in their most remote hiding places, killing all development stages of insects’ eggs, larvae, pupae, adults.
