What is the active ingredient and how does it work?
The active ingredient in ProFume® gas fumigant is sulfuryl fluoride. Dow AgroSciences has marketed sulfuryl fluoride for nearly 50 years as Vikane® gas fumigant for structural fumigations to eliminate pest infestations. Vikane has been used to fumigate more than 2 million buildings, including homes, museums, historical landmarks, rare book collections, and scientific and medical research laboratories. Sulfuryl fluoride disrupts the glycolosis and citric acid cycles within cells throughout the insect body, thereby depriving insects of the necessary energy for survival.
