Organic Pest Control, also known as natural fumigation, CATT (Controlled Atmosphere temperature treatment) or Anoxia Treatment is a natural alternative for traditional fumigation. Pests need oxygen to survive. Take away the oxygen and pests will die.

Traditional fumigation is done with chemical like Methyl Bromide, Phosphine, Sulfuryl Fluoride and Dichlorvos (DDVP). Such fumigants are highly toxic to humans and the environment. Due to more and more restrictions on the use of chemical pesticides, there is an increasing demand for new ways of pest control.

Besseling Organic Pest Control uses nitrogen, temperature and relative humidity to control pests. Earth’s atmosphere consists of 20,8% oxygen, 78% nitrogen and 1,2% rest gases. By taking out the oxygen molecules, you create almost pure nitrogen. By flushing this nitrogen into a hermetically sealed compartment, you can reduce the oxygen content to below 0,5% (or lower). This is lethal for most pests. Increasing the temperature will accelerate the disinfestation process.

Each pest responds differently to Controlled Atmosphere Temperature Treatment and each pest has its own optimal lethal combination of temperature, oxygen level and treatment duration to kill pests at all life stages (eggs, larvae, pupae & adult).

Advantages of Organic Pest control:
✔  100% Organic – Environmentally safe
✔  No residues
✔  No toxic chemicals
✔  Extension of shelf life
✔  Reducing food waste
✔  Preserve quality
✔  No change in quality, taste and/or color
✔  100% mortality of pests at all life stages
✔  Pest can't develop resistance against low O2
✔  Diminish the development of aerobic mold growth
