FAQs

What is fumigation in a greenhouse?

Fumigation in a greenhouse involves using smoke or vapour-based insecticides to eliminate pests. This method reaches areas that sprays or powders might miss, making it highly effective for tackling infestations. To prevent pest problems, fumigation is best done when the greenhouse is empty or at least before planting.

Do you need to fumigate a greenhouse?

Greenhouse Fumigators are not always necessary, but they can be useful if pests become persistent. Greenhouses are sheltered environments, which is good for plants and insects, so regular fumigation is necessary to kill infestations or stop them before they start. It is especially beneficial after clearing old plants to prevent carryover infestations. Keeping a clean and clear greenhouse space can help, too.

How do you fumigate a greenhouse?

To fumigate a greenhouse, seal all windows and doors to contain the smoke. Remove animals, including fish, and place the fumigator on a heat-resistant surface. Light the product, starting from the furthest point, and leave immediately.

Allow at least two hours for the smoke to disperse (overnight treatment is ideal). After fumigation, ventilate the greenhouse thoroughly before re-entering. For maximum effectiveness, it is best to use fumigators when the greenhouse is dry and empty. Always follow safety instructions to minimise risks during use.
