This article from the University of Nebraska Extension is a good summary on how to properly use aluminum phosphate as a fumigant. It gives good details on how phosphine gas works in the grain bin and kills adults and larvae. It also has details on the equipment needed and a management plan on how to prepare, apply, and follow up after the fumigation.
