Aluminium Phosphide is used as a rodenticide, Insecticide, and fumigant for stored cereal grains. Aluminium Phosphide is used to kill small verminous mammals such as moles, rabbits, and rodents. The tablets or pellets typically also contain other chemicals that evolve ammonia which helps to reduce the potential for spontaneous ignition or explosion of the phosphine gas.
As a rodenticide, Aluminium Phosphide pellets are provided as a mixture with food for consumption by the rodents. The acid in the digestive system of the rodent reacts with the phosphide to generate the toxic phosphine gas. Other pesticides similar to Aluminium Phosphide are zinc phosphide and calcium phosphide.
