CO2 Fumigation for Organic Post-Harvest Pest Control

For a complete pest reset, FSS offers carbon dioxide (CO2) fumigation using IGI CO2, certified for use under the USDA National Organic Program and registered by the EPA. It uses 99.9% carbon dioxide, leaves nothing behind after venting, and does not affect taste or quality.

  • Silos and storages
  • Trucks and trailers
  • Sealed railroad cars
  • Cargo ships
  • Warehouses and structures

Hold times typically run 24 hours to 4 days; a 2-day treatment targets adults, a 4-day treatment controls all life stages.

Organic IPM Built on Sanitation, Exclusion & Monitoring

Successful organic programs start by removing food sources, limiting harborage, and sealing entry points, supported by stored product insect monitoring, species-specific pheromone monitoring, and trend analysis that guides non-chemical decision-making.

Mating Disruption for Stored Product Insects

To suppress populations without shutdowns, FSS deploys mating disruption, using species-specific pheromones to confuse males and prevent successful mating. It is especially effective for stored product moths and is OMRI Listed for certified organic production.

Organic Fogging & Targeted Treatments

When immediate knockdown is required, FSS uses EverGreen Pyrethrum Concentrate, OMRI Listed for organic production, delivering rapid control of more than 140 pests including stored product insects, flies, cockroaches, ants, and spiders.

Insecto DE for Organic Facilities & Stored Grain

Insecto DE is a mechanical (non-chemical) control suitable for organic environments, used for empty-bin treatment through the aeration fan, applied at 1 lb per 1,000 sq. ft. in warehouses and buildings, and at 1 to 2 lbs per ton on the top 2 to 3 feet of stored grain for ongoing protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can pests be controlled in organic facilities without losing certification?

Yes. Pests can be controlled in organic facilities using methods compatible with your certification, centered on sanitation, exclusion, and monitoring.

Which treatments are compatible with organic programs?

Options such as diatomaceous earth, and in some cases phosphine or heat, are accepted in many organic programs; the right choice depends on your certifier and the current rules.

What should we confirm with our certifier before treatment?

Always confirm any product or method with your organic certifier before treatment, since allowed inputs and conditions vary and change over time.

Do you offer monitoring and IPM tailored to organic operations?

Yes. We build monitoring and IPM programs tailored to organic operations, emphasizing prevention first.
