Battles Sulphur Candle 225g PACK OF 2 - Kill Greenhouse Pests and Spores

I have been using this to fumigate my green house for several years. Seems to be effective as I have not had any problems with red spider mite for some time. The piece of paper supplied that acts as a wick to start the sulphur burning is not always effective, so I make a wick out of a strip of cloth bound with thin garden wire and soaked in meths.

Use these in the greenhouse at the end of the year to kill the bugs. They appear to work. Tomatoes and other greenhouse germinations/growths do attract a few bugs, especially when venting to cool it down. Cleaning doesn't also guarantee them all got rid of, so these candles can help to make sure as you just have to light them! (easier than the washing!!)

Great product at a great price

Does the job well, I have used this product many times and it effectively clears all the bugs and spiders from my greenhouse. One thing to note is that it can be difficult to light, I have found that the easiest and most effective way is to use a blow torch.

Lit easily and filled the greenhouse with smoke. Seems to have done the job very well.

Simply doesn't work. Found this impossible to light even using a meths soaked rag wick. Cannot recommend.

It wasn’t a problem to light, I used a long match and left it balanced on top of the tin to burn out. When I returned to the greenhouse the contents had burned through so I assume that it had done it’s job. I was disappointed with the packing for this this product however. The lids were taped over with brown packaging tape and both wrapped together in bubble wrap that was then wrapped in a plastic bag. When I received the product the plastic was ripped and one of the tins dented. As I opened the bubble wrap, the sulphur beads were loose having come out from the dented tin. I then opened the whole package properly in a box using gloves. I used the dented tin first but I had to poke the paper wick down into the beads in the tin as the wick had become dislodged, but it did light well enough after I had done so.

Have used before so knew what to do. The candles were very well packaged - no issue there. However I lit both wicks left the greenhouse but watched from outside and the smoke was not as expected. Two hours later I returned and they were not smoking. I went back in, turned both wicks upside down, relit and tried again. Success.
