Sulphur Convenient Candles

At first I thought this smoke candle would be too small for my greenhouse but I was wrong. It was easy to use and worked really well. It burns for a long time, producing plenty of smoke. Day after there was a slight smell but gone within another day or two. Worth the money.

The Battles Sulphur Candle effectively eliminates greenhouse pests and spores, making it a reliable choice for gardeners. Easy to use, it produces sulphur fumes that penetrate hard-to-reach areas, ensuring comprehensive coverage. It's particularly effective against powdery mildew and insect infestations. However, users should follow safety precautions due to the fumes. Overall, it's a practical and efficient solution for maintaining a healthy greenhouse environment.

This worked a treat. I had a bit of scepticism when I read the negative reviews, but I found it easy to light and it blasted the whole greenhouse of bugs and nasties. Great for end of year product to use before winter sets in. Stinks a bit though.

Works well! I got the top going nicely with a blowtorch then left it to fume away and annoy the neighbours. I prefer this smoke bomb to a fumigator (such as the Vitax), but some folks do find that some bare metals get slightly attacked by the sulphur dioxide smoke (=sulphuric acid when combined with a little humidity).I like all the smoke it produces - looks convincing. Contrast this to a wash down with Jeyes fluid where the modern version is colourless and lacks the authentic phenol smell.A product has to *look* like it is working!

Clear instructions, works well easy to use

What a waste of money for a start we could not find the wick so in the end we tipped the contents into a tray there was no wick just a piece of unwrapped greased paper so we thought let's give it a try by winding the paper up sticking it in the Sulphur and lighting it. no luck so we wrapped a wick of our own and even that went out. So don't bother it already had mixed revues the customers that said it was useless were right.

NB - review is currently not for product and when product is used I will re-review. However, it arrived with a large sticky label attached to the tin, having the product name (exactly as produced on the front of the tin itself - "Battles Greenhouse Sulphur Candle 225g") and a barcode printed on it. A label that could have been stuck on the base of the tin, I thought, until I eventually got it off to discover it replaced a minuscule barcode beneath. Sadly, someone (at the product end, not Amazon, it later turned out) decided to print it overly-large and stick it over the area of the tin providing the instructions for use and safety warning. And it was not one of those easy-peel labels that just comes off, it was one of those labels that only peels off its surface layer and leaves a thin layer of paper and adhesive stuck on the tin. Scraping and a little solvent worked ok, but it may not always. I contacted Battles by email to advise them re this problem and, very impressively, within an hour I had a set of emailed instructions/safety warnings in my inbox, and now they are aware of the problem let's hope it is fixed. Anyone with similar issue can email to the contact address on their website and instructions will be sent, I'm sure. Once it warms up a little and I can clear the greenhouse of plants, I'll set it off and observe the results.

When I lit the paper it just burned out so had to put another wick in to the can this burnt down to nothing so left it until the morning and it had burned down and the can was empty all good but it took a long time to burn.
