Organic Fumigation O2low
Insect Control, O2Low System and its Advantages
What is Fumigation?
Fumigation is a process of exposing a product to gaseous chemicals, also known as fumigants, to eliminate any harmful pests, insects and bacteria that might be present in it. The purpose of this process is to maintain the quality and safety of the product. Nowadays, chemical fumigation mainly uses heavy chemicals such as phosphine or methyl bromide as fumigants. Thus, fumigation can be very dangerous and harmful to human health and the environment. Therefore, companies that perform fumigation must safely comply with the legal requirements (official certificates, safety requirements, etc.) and the relevant protocol conditions to ensure that the process is done correctly and safely.
Today, the world is searching for alternative methods of pest control instead of toxic fumigant gases that would leave less or no chemical residue.The use of controlled atmosphere system is not just one of these alternative methods, but the best when analyzing the benefits and costs. The use of a CA system is also a completely environmentally friendly and 100% efficient method.
Compared to other alternative methods, O2LOW provides 100% organic and 100% insect-free results. It has a lethal effect with 100% result in 4 stages from larva to pupa and egg to adult.
Taking into considering the investment cost turnover rates, O2Low Organic Fumigation System is the most cost-effective existing system compared to its alternatives.
In comparison with traditional methods of fumigation, O2low Organic Fumigation method is 100% natural, so it does not cause any odor, taste, changes to the chemical composition of products, it does not leave any traces or residue on/ in the products.
What is an Insect?
Insects (Latin: insecta) are the most numerous class of animals, with over 700,000 species that have been identified and many more that are still unknown. They display a remarkable variety of forms and functions, and play a vital role in human life and other animals. Entomology, the science of insects, has many sub-disciplines like ecology, ethology, physiology, systematic entomology, etc.. Most of these sub-disciplines involve both theoretical and practical studies. Theoretical research aims to collect basic knowledge about all insects, while practical entomology investigates harms and benefits of insects. Practical entomology is related to fields such as agriculture, horticulture and forestry.
Insects, as with all living beings in general, require a suitable habitat and food to survive. These requirements sometimes coincide with the products we use. When these products are valuable or essential for humans, for example, grain or tobacco, we start to intervene against insects. We call insects “harmful” when they affect our interests and environment. We even name some harmful insects based on the products they damage, along with their Latin names. For instance, tobacco beetle / sweetworm (- Lasioderma serricorne), rice weevil (Sitophilus oryzae).
Some insects are really hard to control. For instance, tobacco beetles can cause significant losses in products during storage or transportation if they are not controlled. Insect control around the world is mostly done by a method called ‘‘fumigation’’.
What is O2 Low Insect control application?
O2Low™ Organic Fumigation is a natural, organic and eco-friendly way to eliminate insects based on controlled amosphere technology. Traditional chemical fumigation methods cannot kill all the insects and leave toxic, harmful residues on the food that reach the consumers. Moreover, some insects survive the fumigation process and develop resistance to the chemicals, and with this resistance continue to spread around the world. To deal with these resistant insects, stronger and more dangerous chemicals become necessary.
O2LOW Organic Fumigation is different from other methods because it is 100% organic and kills all the insects. It has a lethal action with 100% results at every stage of an insect life cycle, from egg to larva to pupa to adult.
Also, O2LOW Organic Fumigation is it is the most cost-effective existing system compared to its alternatives, as it has the best return on investment.”
