Benefits

Grains are especially susceptible to infestation by a variety of insects and pests that can spread microbes and food-borne illnesses. A fumigation with ProFume can protect your grains and help reduce IDK with broad-spectrum control of stored product pests at all life stages. ProFume also is noncorrosive, protecting your sensitive equipment even as it penetrates all the cracks and crevices where pests like to hide and multiply. Pests cannot hide from ProFume.

Reduces plant downtime

ProFume rapidly distributes into every crack and crevice and then quickly aerates upon ventilation without the need to wipe down surfaces afterward. So you can protect your commodities and keep your facility ready for on-time and on-budget deliveries, without delays or facility shutdowns due to pest outbreaks.

No damage, no surface residue on hard surfaces

Steward your products, facilities, and equipment by protecting them against damage from phosphine or heat treatments. ProFume is nonflammable and noncorrosive to sensitive electronics, unlike other pest control alternatives. Used according to label directions, ProFume poses no risk of damage to equipment, electronics, or buildings. And because it leaves no surface residue, there’s no need to clean hard surfaces prior to reentry, reducing downtime.

No documented field resistance

ProFume is a necessary tool in an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program. It has no documented cases of resistance and no cross-resistance in insect populations resistant to phosphine. The proprietary Fumiguide with Precision Fumigation removes the guesswork from the fumigation process by providing a record of the appropriate dosage achieved. It also helps reduce the development of future resistance through improved control of stored product pests.

No impact on product quality

ProFume is an odorless colorless gas. It disperses rapidly and does not react with materials or commodities. It will not affect the flavor, quality, color or processing characteristics of your products.

Customized to your facility, flexible to your needs

Pest control is not a one-size-fits-all process — every fumigation is unique. Precision Fumigation and our proprietary Fumiguide deliver a fully customized approach. You have the flexibility to customize fumigations to the demands of specific facilities, target pests, commodities, temperatures, exposure time, time of year, and storage.

Eliminates all life stages of stored product pests

With ProFume, you can effectively control current pest infestations. And by eliminating all life stages of stored product pests, you can reestablish control of your facilities and commodities.

Helps you stay FSMA-compliant

When it comes to food safety, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. With ProFume, you can keep commodities protected from pests that spread microbes and foodborne illnesses. Protect your products and your reputation and ensure your customers a high-quality product free from pests.

Proven efficacy since 2004

ProFume has been proven effective time and again, in both university studies and in commercial facilities like yours. ProFume has protected mills, grain elevators, warehouses, food production facilities, pet food and pasta plants, vehicles, fumigation chambers and stacks, and more.

Not an ozone depleter

With the active ingredient of sulfuryl fluoride, ProFume is not considered an ozone-depleting substance, and it does not interact with or cause local ozone formation.
