Bluefume®: A Sustainable Leap Forward in Effective Fumigation Practices 2026

We are proud to announce the successful completion of the first BLUEFUME® treatment in Italy. The operation, carried out in Corato (Apulia), marks a significant evolution in the pest control industry toward more effective and environmentally responsible treatment solutions.

The treatment was performed by Radis Srl, a company based in Ravenna, under the joint supervision of Aldo Gelli of Ferbi/Hiprochem and Jan Vokner of Draslovka. Both experts ensured strict adherence to technical and safety standards throughout the entire operation.

“Field results confirm the promise of BLUEFUME®,” said Jan Vokner, fumigation specialist. “This first application in Italy demonstrates its efficiency and versatility as a modern fumigant for agri-food facilities. The site was prepared impeccably, and collaboration with Radis and Ferbi was excellent throughout the process.”

A New Benchmark for Modern Fumigation

BLUEFUME® is the oldest fumigant still in use, but it is now redefining the standard for sustainable pest control. It is emerging as a leading alternative to traditional chemical gases like methyl bromide, which is still widely used in non-EU countries. As part of a commitment to sustainability and innovation, BLUEFUME® offers an ozone-friendly solution with a low ecological footprint, highly effective against a broad spectrum of pest species without leaving harmful residues.

“Thanks to its ozone-friendly profile and rapid application, BLUEFUME® is quickly becoming a go-to solution for companies committed to both biosafety and environmental responsibility,” said Adam Trocha, Product Manager at INTRESO Group.

Second Fumigation Already Planned

The success of the Corato treatment has already led to plans for a second BLUEFUME® fumigation before the end of the year – an early sign of growing confidence in the product’s performance. “BLUEFUME® has proven efficient and reliable in all operating conditions,” added Aldo Gelli. “We are proud to be part of this pioneering work in Italy and look forward to supporting the next operation.”

This successful launch signals a promising future for BLUEFUME® worldwide, as INTRESO Group continues to play a leading role in redefining standards for pest control and phytosanitary compliance across the globe.
