Pesticidal treatment by fumigation with gaseous alkynol or thiocyanate, e.g. 2-propyn-1-ol

摘要

A method for killing pests involves fumigation with alkynol or thiocyanate gas. A method for killing pests (especially storage, textile, hygienic, soil, material or wood pests) involves passing a fumigating gas into a sealed region, e.g. a building, mill, store, room, film tent, bag, silo cell, container, planted soil, museum or church area, inter-floor space, ship. aircraft, motor vehicle or wagon. The novelty is that the gas comprises an alkynol (I) and/or a thiocyanate (II).
