Protecting our communities

Fumigation with sulfuryl fluoride is often the fastest and most effective way to address destructive pest issues that compromise food, homes and businesses. That’s why we work with research experts, industry partners and regulatory authorities to develop solutions that protect food safety, public health, biodiversity and economic resources. Through these strategic partnerships, we continue to develop the most reliable, effective and climate smart solutions to support the most essential aspects of our communities.
