Fumigation (CO2 or N2)

Fumigation of stored pollen with carbon dioxide (CO2) or nitrogen (N2) is a professional method to kill pollen moths and beetles. Fumigation involves placing stored pollen in airtight containers or chambers and displacing the air with CO2 or N2 gas, creating an oxygen-deprived environment that is lethal to pests. Fumigation is highly effective in eradicating pests in all life stages. It requires specialized equipment for gas application and safety precautions for handling gases. Fumigation is typically used for larger quantities of stored pollen or in commercial pollen storage facilities. Equipment rental or professional fumigation services may be necessary for this method.
