Topstoxin is a storage fumigant. It is described as containing aluminium phosphide, which gives off phosphine gas when it meets moisture in the air. The gas reaches deep into grain stacks and kills weevils, beetles and moths at all stages. It is used in warehouses, silos and sealed stores for maize, rice, sorghum and other dry grain. It is highly toxic and is for trained handlers only. Check the label to confirm the active ingredient.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use Topstoxin inside my house?
No. Phosphine gas can kill people and animals. Use it only in sealed stores away from living areas, and only if you are trained.
How long before I can sell or eat fumigated grain?
Air the grain fully after the exposure time on the label. The label gives the waiting period before handling or sale.
Does Topstoxin work in an open store?
No. The gas escapes. The store or stack must be sealed with a gas-proof sheet for the fumigant to work.
Why must Topstoxin be kept dry?
Moisture makes the tablets release gas. Keep the container tightly closed and dry until use.
