FAQ

Eco-fumigation is a method that eliminates insects, larvae, fungi, and microorganisms without the use of strong chemical fumigants (such as phosphine or methyl bromide). We use, for example, a nitrogen atmosphere (An2Di device) or a safe mist based on essential oils (BioMaster chamber, UltraPel nebulizer, ArchiPer sprays) to create an environment in which these organisms cannot survive. Traditional fumigation often uses chemicals that leave residues or require long ventilation/quarantine periods. Eco-fumigation is safer for paper, organic materials, and, above all, for humans.

Yes—all the solutions we offer as part of the project are designed for paper collections, old prints, and archival materials.

The cycle time depends on the type of device and the size and degree of surface contamination. For a small laboratory using Ultrapel, the time can range from several to several dozen minutes. For larger chambers or rooms (BioMaster, An2Di), the time may be longer – from 5 hours (BioMaster) to 21 days (An2Di).

Yes – although you need to choose the right schedule. Devices such as Spirabilia + UV Sanitizer and BioMaster operate continuously in the background and are ideal for spaces where crops are used on a daily basis. For devices that require the room to be shut down (e.g., larger An2Di fumigations or UltraPel fogging), it is worth planning the intervention outside of harvest hours—for example, on weekends or after working hours, or possibly temporarily shutting down the room.

The methods used are designed not to leave toxic residues or strong odors. The An2Di generator runs exclusively on nitrogen, which is a natural gas and leaves no traces, returning to the atmosphere after the process is complete. BioMist fogging systems use safe disinfectant solutions based on selected essential oil molecules. Of course, for optimal crop protection, we always recommend ventilating according to the device instructions.

Each offer includes a user manual, technical requirements, and training. After completing the training, each employee is able to operate our devices independently.

The frequency depends on the degree of risk, storage conditions (humidity, temperature, foot traffic), type of collection, and history of threats. Daily maintenance should include ongoing disinfection and pest control. The work schedule is determined internally by the laboratory staff. If a hazard is detected, e.g., insects or mold, immediate action should be taken. Together, we can develop a prevention plan tailored to your institution.

Absolutely – these products also contain ONLY natural disinfectants. They are based on selected essential oils (ArchiPer) and chrysanthemum molecules from certified plantations (Natural Insect Killer). They are 100% effective and 100% safe for humans and the environment.
