Bugs & Pest Control (Spider Mites, Thrips, Aphids etc)

Bugs & Pest Control

The control of plant pests has always been a contentious issue and we would assume that the majority of serious growers would like to avoid the use of toxic chemicals wherever possible. Like every other aspect of plant raising, there have been many changes in recent years.

These have been tested and fine-tuned by professional growers and are now becoming available to the amateur gardener. Amongst the new technologies, the idea of biologicial pest control must take pride of place. Like all great concepts, it is simple yet effective and is causing major changes to the way we do things.

Biological pest control is one of the most exciting developments in modern horticulture and it offers a vision of a pesticide free future when man can use nature’s own weapons to grow his food in an uncontaminated atmosphere and a cleaner, greener world.

Basically, biological pest control involves the introduction of friendly creatures to combat the ones that do the damage. These creatures are known as predators because they feed on the pest at some stage in its life cycle.

Hotbox Sulfume

The Hotbox Sulfume sulphur vapouriser helps to protect crops from fungal diseases such as Mildew, Botrytis and Black Spot. It also inhibits the spread of greenhouse pests.

The Hotbox Sulfume sulphur evaporator has set the standard so high that the word ‘Sulfume’ has become an Eponym for all sulphur evaporators.
Do not be fooled – all sulphur evaporators are not Hotbox Sulfume’s.

• Unique temperature control – cannot overheat the sulphur to create damaging oxides, releases ONLY pure sulphur

• Regulated element – makes combustion impossible, eliminates the risk of fire and makes the Sulfume the safest on the market

• Energy efficient – the lowest energy consuming sulphur evaporator available

• Flexible voltage – can work on any supply from 110V to 250V, with no loss of performance in low voltage areas

• Manufactured in high quality materials – to ensure durability

• Ideal for roses, strawberries, begonias, saint paulia, tomatoes, peppers and gerbera

Temperature regulation is important to ensure the sulphur is vapourised at just the right temperature. The Hotbox Sulfume cannot produce oxides of sulphur.

Bug Traps

Airborne insects are attracted to ultraviolet (UV) light. UV light placed behind an electric grid can be used to attract and electrocute flying insects. Such traps are usually a requirement in food preparation establishments such as butchers, for hygiene. They are also found at holiday resorts and commercial greenhouses to reduce pests. A domestic scale bug killer is available for general use.
