Description
Quickphos is a professional fumigant highly effective against insects and rodents in stored agricultural products (grains, seeds, dried fruits, etc.) or in storage spaces, silos, and containers.
Mode of Action
When in contact with moisture in the air or products, aluminum phosphide releases phosphine gas (PH₃), a toxic fumigant that inhibits cellular respiration in pests, causing death, including hidden stages.
Properties and Advantages
- Effective against all developmental stages of pests
- The gas penetrates deeply into product stacks
- Does not affect food quality after proper ventilation
- Used in silos, warehouses, containers, and large spaces
- Controls insects and rodents in isolated areas

| Silos & warehouses | Storage insects, rodents | 6–9 g/m³ of space | 3–5 days | Complete ventilation before human access |
Safety Measures
Phosphine gas is extremely toxic to humans and animals. The product should only be handled by trained personnel with proper protective equipment. Treated areas must be properly sealed and ventilated after fumigation.
