Stored Product Pest Control

Every year, insect pests destroy an estimated US $400 million of stored tobacco. The Carifend^® System is based on insecticidal net technology specifically designed to protect warehouse-stored tobacco from cigarette beetles and tobacco moths.

Carifend^® is the only insect control system that provides continuous, preventative protection for tobacco and is the first application of insecticidal net technology for stored goods.

Carifend^® significantly reduces the need for fumigation and provides enhanced stewardship over conventional control treatments for employees, facilities, and the environment. It has been proven to be up to 100 % effective in real-life industry trials around the world. It reduces downtime, boosts productivity, and preserves the quality, quantity, and value of the stored tobacco.
