Fumigation Services

We fumigate with one gas only: phosphine, released from aluminium phosphide. It spreads through bags, bulk grain, cracks and crevices and kills every life stage of the pest, including the eggs and larvae hidden inside the grain.

Phosphine fumigation

Warehouses · godowns

Stack fumigation

Bagged stacks sealed under gas-proof covers with sand snakes along the base, then dosed by stack volume, commodity and temperature.

Open storage

CAP storage fumigation

Fumigation of cover-and-plinth (CAP) stacks in the open, with extra care on cover condition and edge sealing.

Vertical storage

Silo & bulk fumigation

NSPM-22 compliant treatment of sealed silos and bulk grain, with gas readings through the exposure period.

Export

Container & pre-shipment

Phosphine fumigation of containers and export consignments, with the fumigation record your export paperwork needs.

Warehouse protection

Prophylactic

Godown & commodity spraying

Scheduled spraying of empty godowns, stack surfaces and gangways to stop cross-infestation between lots.

Warehouses · godowns

Rodent management

Mapped bait stations, regular checks and an activity log to protect bags, wiring and stock in your warehouse.

Why it matters

Every grain we protect is food that reaches a plate.

Insects in storage eat away weight, quality and market value long before the damage shows. Timely phosphine fumigation stops those losses at the source.

How We Work

Every pest control job follows the same four steps, whether it is one kitchen or a whole factory.

  1. Inspect

    We find the pest, how bad it is, where it hides and how it gets in.

  2. Plan

    You get a written plan: treatment method, number of visits, precautions and price.

  3. Treat

    Trained technicians treat with CIB&RC registered products, using gel baits and targeted methods first.

  4. Follow up

    A service report after the visit, follow-up visits where the treatment needs them, and advice to keep pests out.

Safe for your family
Safe around your food
Safe for your workplace
Safe for your people

We tell you exactly how long to keep children, pets and staff away from treated areas.

Safe for your food

Food-handling areas are covered or cleared first, and treated with methods suited to kitchens.

Minimal disruption

Visits can be planned before opening, after closing or on holidays.

How a Fumigation Job Works

Every stack, silo or container goes through the same five steps under NSPM-22, with a record kept at each one.

  1. Survey

    We inspect the stack or silo, identify the pest, check the cover condition and measure the volume to be treated.

  2. Plan & dose

    Dosage is worked out from volume, commodity and temperature, and shared with you in a written quotation.

  3. Seal

    Gas-proof covers, sand snakes along the base and leak checks keep the gas in. Danger signs go up around the stack.

  4. Expose & monitor

    The stack stays sealed for the full exposure period, usually 5 to 7 days or more, with phosphine readings taken through it.

  5. Aerate & hand over

    Covers come off, the stack is aired and gas-checked, and you receive the dosage sheet, gas log and signed completion note.

Stored Grain Pests We Target

Moisture, warmth and long storage periods make stored grain a target. We identify the pest first, because the right treatment depends on what is in your stack.

Primary pestsBore into whole, healthy grain and feed from the inside. Damage stays hidden until the lot loses weight.
Secondary pestsFeed on broken grain, dust and kernels already damaged by primary pests. Their numbers rise fast.

Safety Practices

Phosphine is highly toxic to people as well as insects. Safety decides how every job is planned, run and closed.

Trained fumigators

Only trained, certified crew handle aluminium phosphide, under a supervisor on every job.

Protective equipment

Gas masks with the right canisters, gloves and protective clothing during dosing and aeration.

Danger zone marked

Warning signs and a cordon around the fumigated stack, with your site team briefed on what to avoid.

Gas detection

Phosphine levels are checked around the stack during exposure and before anyone goes back near it.

Spent residue disposal

The grey powder left after the tablets react is collected and disposed of as the label directs.

Clearance in writing

The stack is handed back only after aeration and a gas check, recorded in the completion note.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the grain safe to eat after phosphine fumigation?

Yes. When aluminium phosphide is used at label dose and the stack is properly aired afterwards, the gas leaves the grain and no harmful residue remains. The grain's look, smell and taste do not change.

How long does fumigation take?

The stack usually stays sealed for 5 to 7 days or more, depending on temperature, followed by aeration before handover. We give you the exact schedule in the quotation.

Do you use methyl bromide?

No. ProAct works only with phosphine (aluminium phosphide), following NSPM-22, the Indian standard for phosphine fumigation.

Can my staff keep working in the warehouse?

No one should go near the fumigated stack until we clear it. It is cordoned off with danger signs. Whether other parts of the warehouse can stay in use depends on the layout; we will tell you during the inspection.

Why did insects come back after an earlier fumigation?

Usually because the cover leaked, the dose was too low or the stack was opened too early. Some insects then survive and breed. Gas-tight sealing, correct dosage, full exposure time and monitoring prevent this.

What documents will I receive?

A dosage sheet, the gas monitoring log, an inspection report and a signed completion note for your records and audits.

Are your pest control treatments safe for children and pets?

We use CIB&RC registered products at label rates, choose gel baits and targeted treatments where possible, and tell you exactly how long to keep children and pets away from treated areas.

Do you offer annual contracts for businesses?

Yes. Our annual maintenance contracts cover scheduled visits, a report after every visit and records ready for FSSAI and customer audits.

How soon can a treated room be used again?

It depends on the treatment. Gel baiting needs almost no time away; sprayed areas should stay empty until surfaces are dry. We tell you the exact time on the day.

Do you treat homes as well as businesses?

Yes. We treat homes and apartments as well as restaurants, hotels, offices, hospitals, schools and factories.
