Phosphine treatment from bark beetle

Maria: Does the bark beetle larva die immediately after treatment with phosphine?

Answer: Phosphine treatment at home can only be trusted to professionals. It is a dangerous gas that penetrates even through polyethylene. Independent fumigation can be fatal for households.
The gas has a high penetrating ability, which is why both larvae and adult bark beetles die from phosphine. You can’t enter the processed housing for several days, after the procedure, the specialist conducts degassing in order to free the house from decay products.
