Hey all,
On this note, does anyone have any comments on sulfuryl fluoride, and any
potential effects on objects being fumigated?
Thanks!

Hello Lancey.
We use argon gas for anoxic treatments.
By far, the less invasive method.
Feel free to contact me directly if you're interested.

Curious, is there a labeled Argon product for this use as a pesticide in
the U.S?

According to the views delivered from my contacts at EPA, nearly any substance
that is used to kill, repel, or otherwise mitigate a pest may be considered to
be a pesticide. This is particularly the case if the chemical is prepared
elsewhere but is then transported and applied at another locatio

It is confusing. A piece of equipment that can generate a lethal agent, but is
not sold with anything the agent is produced from, is considered a device, and
thus does not need to be registered as a pesticide. An example is BurrowRx,
which kind of looks like a lawn mower. It is not sol

Yes, it is confusing and confounding. Perhaps someone from EPA might want to
jump in to elaborate or correct me. If one were to purchase a pressurized

I am always pleased to see that the confusing classifications for various
biocides such as gasoline-diesel mixture against voles or natural gases like
nitrogen or carbon dioxide also exist in the USA.
In Germany we also have a mobile device for voles called MAUKI,
