Sulfur checker for residential premises: instructions for use, precautions

Good day. About ten years ago I almost started a career related to the extermination of various kinds of pests.

I have already passed special courses, I even got a working uniform. But already the first exit made me doubt the correctness of such a choice.

In the first apartment, we used a remedy against bedbugs, from which my eyes were rippling. Want to know how sulfur dash is used for living quarters? I will share my practical experience, which was the last for me at that place of work, but the knowledge in my life came in handy.

Sulfur checker: application for the greenhouse and principle of operation

So that the plants in the greenhouse are not exposed to various diseases, as well as attacks of harmful insects, the greenhouse is disinfected periodically.

One of the effective and inexpensive methods of disinfection is fumigation of the greenhouse from the inside with the help of a sulfuric block. The process is quite simple and does not require much effort and cost.

What is it and principles of action

A set of tablets, in which there is one single substance - sulfur, is called a sulfur block.

This fungicidal product is intended not only for greenhouses. With its help they fight against mold in the basements, disinfect vegetable stores, prepare flower greenhouses. In a word, they are used wherever it is necessary to destroy the fungus, bacteria, all types of mold as long as possible, and also get rid of ticks and rodents.

The principle of action of sulfur tablets is very simple. A certain number of tablets is taken, set fire to them in a tightly closed greenhouse. The tablet smolders very slowly, but this period is enough to scare away rodents and some insects for a long time.

Smoke from the checker easily fills all the difficult-to-penetrate places of the greenhouse, so this type of disinfection is very effective. With their help, not only the walls of the room are disinfected, but also the soil.

Sulfur smoke is toxic to bees, birds and humans. Do not use smoke bombs in the basements of residential premises. Do not use a sulfur tablet with any other disinfectant.

Cons and pros

Sulfur checkers have their weaknesses:

The benefits are as follows:

How to use

Only empty spaces where there are no edible mushrooms - cherries and mushrooms or vegetables and fruits are treated with sulfur.

In a word, the room is freed, leaving boxes, boxes, empty shelves - all that will need to be disinfected, and only then carry out cleaning.

As already mentioned, sulfur smoke reacts with moisture and forms sulfuric acid, which is very harmful to the metal surface. If a greenhouse with an existing anti-corrosion coating on a structure will be processed, you can immediately start the process.

So that the soil saturated with sulfur does not destroy the plants, the greenhouse is treated with a smoke bomb for disinfection only in the autumn after collecting all crop residues. This is best done as late as possible.

At a temperature of 0 degrees, the soil absorbs sulfur better than, for example, at +15. The lower the degree, the higher the processing effect. To process the room as efficiently as possible, close all the cracks. This prevents gas leakage.

All surfaces are wetted as much as possible with water. A brick or stone should be placed under each checker.

The checker is set on fire with crumpled paper; kerosene can also be used. After processing, the greenhouse is left open for three days.

Gas protection

You can protect yourself from toxic sulfur anhydride with a gas mask. You can use a respirator and safety glasses, but only if the room where the treatment is carried out is small and a maximum of two tablets is used.

Spend processing, as a rule, two. One controls the process, and the other handles the room. If the floor in the greenhouse is wooden, you cannot put a checker with a wick on it. For this, a pelvis or other objects are usually used.

If several checkers are set on fire, they should be lit in such a sequence that the handler backs up to the exit and manages to exit before the smoke begins to go.

What are the symptoms of poisoning?

With poisoning, a person experiences dizziness and severe headache. It begins to choke a cough, hoarseness appears. Depending on the degree of poisoning, blood can flow from the nose and sharply ill eyes.

A person who has been poisoned by a sulfur house is taken to fresh air. Be sure to seek the help of a toxicologist. Sulfur tablets should not be stored near food or medicine.

In order for the sulfur block to bring maximum effect, carry out preliminary preparation as carefully as possible. Remains of plants, garbage should be removed from the premises, metal structures should be treated with solid oil and wiped with a soapy solution of the wall. All this is done to prevent harmful microorganisms from surviving.

Popular types of drafts from manufacturers

Sulfuric checkers for greenhouses "Climate" - the most popular. They have a fairly standard design with a wick that ignites. Use the Climate for processing vegetable stores on livestock farms. This type of checkers copes with fleas and lice very well. Its price is about 70 rubles per pack.

Smoke bomb for the FAS greenhouse is cheaper, but very toxic. After processing the room requires a long ventilation. Do not use this medication in rooms where animals will be kept.

For large rooms, it is ideal to use Vulcan, another type of sulfur smoke bombs. He is able to process large warehouses of logical centers or enterprises. It has an inexpensive price - up to 50 rubles.

"Pawn-S" is well suited for polycarbonate greenhouses, this drug perfectly fights unwanted insects.

Sulfur Checker for Polycarbonate Greenhouse/ How and when to process the greenhouse with a sulfur block? There are rules for processing greenhouses; experienced farmers are advised to take a smoke bomb for polycarbonate greenhouses made by FAS, Hephaestus and Vista. Their action is aimed at various problems associated with soil.

If the contamination of the soil with harmful microorganisms is small, it is enough to carry out one treatment in the fall, after the entire crop and plant debris have been removed from the greenhouse. After that, the polycarbonate greenhouse is ventilated and left for the winter.

If the ground is infected with a spider mite, as well as harmful garden insects, the treatment is carried out in the spring, and not just in the fall. Its duration should not be less than three weeks before landing.

Another effective checker for a polycarbonate greenhouse is Pawn-S. Many farmers advise using it only. As for the number of treatments, they can be carried out repeatedly. It is only important to observe safety precautions and recommendations for use.

Sulfur Checker

Fungicidal agent for the destruction of pathogens of fungal diseases, bacterial infections and mold in greenhouses and greenhouses after harvesting vegetables or flowers, empty cellars, vegetable stores, as well as for preparing greenhouses not located on the premises.

It has acaricidal properties - it destroys insects and ticks, temporarily repels rodents.

Description

Sulfur Checker Climate, Whist, Hephaestus, or Fas - produced by many manufacturers, but the principle of operation is the same for everyone. As a rule, a standard package weighing 300 g consists of 6-7 tablets, the entire package is designed for a room volume of 10-20 cubic meters.

Active ingredient: sulfur 750 g / kg. Hazard class 2, toxic to humans, bees, birds. It is unacceptable to use a smoke bomb in the basements of houses, cottages or in the underground of a private house.

Principle of action: during smoldering of a checker, sulfur dioxide gas is formed without extraneous harmful impurities. It easily penetrates all cracks in the ceilings and walls of greenhouses and cellars with air draft and destroys pathogens, mold and insects.

Sulphurous anhydride is a fumigant, but in addition to this, in contact with water (on wet surfaces, with water vapor), sulfuric acid is formed, which also burns and kills organics.

Benefits:

Disadvantages:

• emitted sulfur dioxide is toxic to humans and animals if inhaled to death
• mold deeply buried in the wood will not destroy
• spores of fungi or pests in the soil will not destroy
• before processing the vegetable store or cellar, you need to take out all the vegetables
• oxidizes metal
• burns survive on plants, can not be used to fight diseases or ticks on living plants in a greenhouse, on a balcony or greenhouse
• smoke bomb is fire hazard, need to be located further from combustible material
• processing basements or cellars with high humidity, for example, with close standing groundwater, is not allowed

Application

You can only process empty rooms where there is no vegetation, mushrooms (mushrooms or oyster mushrooms), vegetables in storage and animals - greenhouses after harvesting tomatoes, cucumbers, greenhouses, freed from flowers; in cellars or vegetable stores, empty shelves from cans, but be sure to leave empty wooden or plastic boxes for vegetables, it is advisable to take out iron objects due to possible corrosion.

Compatibility. The use of sulfur blocks is unacceptable with a one-time treatment with other disinfectants.

Technique for working with sulfuric saber:

Security

If the room is large, you need to distribute the tablets in different places, evenly over the area, start burning from the checkers located further from the exit, so as not to have time to breathe.

Powder sulfur can cause eczema, vapors can cause poisoning, so you only need to wear a saber with gloves on, and immediately wash your hands after work. Avoid any inhalation of smoldering checkers.

Important:

1. it is possible to lay products for storage in a vegetable storehouse or cellar no earlier than 5 days after processing
2. after fumigation, keep the room closed for 24–36 hours
3. after 36 hours open for ventilation within 48 hours
4. protective effect of sulfuric smoke is 8-12 days

Consumption rates:

• for disinfecting greenhouses, greenhouses, sheds, greenhouses sulfur checker Climate (Green Belt) - 300 g per 20 m3
• for disinfecting greenhouses, hotbeds, sheds, greenhouses, sulfur dash FAS - 60 g / m3
• for disinfecting cellars sulfuric checker Climate (Green Belt) - 300 g per 10 m3
• for disinfecting cellars, sulfur block FAS - 30-60 g / m3

When to process

Fumigation of greenhouses, greenhouses and greenhouses can be carried out in autumn, after harvesting and cleaning of plant debris.

The lower the temperature of the soil, the stronger its absorption of sulfuric acid. Therefore, the optimal processing time when the temperature of the soil is about 10 degrees and above.

If you use a smoke bomb in the spring, before planting, it is advisable to subsequently spill the soil with phytosporin to restore useful microflora.

For polycarbonate greenhouse

Sulfur checkers can be used in any greenhouses and greenhouses made of polycarbonate or with a film and glass coating, if the frame is made of wooden beams and bars. The metal surfaces are oxidized by the action of the sulfur block, so the greenhouse on such racks can be ruined.

There are recommendations for preliminary coating of metal structures, including galvanized profiles before processing with special compounds, however this is a rather laborious task and not always reliable. Although the aluminum profile, as a rule, does not suffer.

Polycarbonate itself from the sulfur block does not noticeably deteriorate - it does not grow cloudy and does not crack, if you do not exceed the dosage, it is much more often destroyed by climatic factors - bright sun and frost.

The manufacturers on the chemical compatibility of polycarbonate stated: "requires precaution with sulfuric acid (sulfur dioxide)," and is not resistant to sulfuric acid.

Indeed, there are cases when there was a slight turbidity of polycarbonate after sulfur drafts. To avoid this, you just need to wipe all surfaces from the polymer dry before fumigation.

Sulfur Checker for the cellar

The problem with cellars is dampness and mold. But these are consequences, and the reason, as a rule, is insufficient ventilation or regular flooding. The use of sulfuric checkers in this case is a temporary measure, to completely destroy the ingrained mold and fungus will not work even with 2 and 3-fold application of fumigation.

Airing (opening all windows and doors) to complete degassing can take about 7-10 days. That is, if you need to process a basement or cellar in a residential building, you need to evict people from it for at least two weeks.

And whether the inconvenience effect is worth it is a debatable question: if the flooding was a single occurrence (accidental leakage) and there is the possibility of properly drying the room, then it is worth it. If the basement is regularly flooded or good ventilation is not installed, the rotten floor is not replaced, then there is no point in processing the sulfur block.

Climate sulfur checker 300 g

Sulfur Checker - contains the active substance sulfur. Designed to protect empty basements, vegetable stores, hotbeds, greenhouses, greenhouses (outside the living area) from pathogens, bacterial infections, mold, fungi, insects, ticks, rats, mice and excess moisture.

Benefits

When burning sulfur drafts, sulfur dioxide gas is formed without any harmful impurities. Penetrating into all the cracks in the walls of the cellar, it completely destroys insects, mold, fungus, and sulfur dioxide repels rodents.

Convenient and easy to use, ignited by a match. The kit includes a wick that provides a two-minute delay in the onset of burning the checkers and the release of sulfur dioxide. During this time, you can safely, without haste, get out of the treated room.

Quality. Sulfur checker is the first professional development of this type of product, protected by a patent for an invention.

Application

Place the checker on the floor in the room at a distance of at least 0.5 m from flammable substances. In the treated room, plug vents, vents, windows, slots. Set fire to the wick and making sure that the checker smolders. Leave the room by closing the door tightly. Checkers smoldering time 50-60 minutes.

Empty cellars, vegetable storages, fruit storages, potato storages, granaries, wine cellars, hay storages, hay bales: drug consumption 300 g per 10 cubic meters

Processing method: Processing of empty rooms no later than 5 days before laying products for storage. After treatment, keep the room closed for 24–36 hours. After this, aerate for 48 hours.

Apply in hermetically sealed rooms away from sources of water supply, sewage! During processing, people and animals must not be in the room!

The use of sulfur drafts

It turns out that the sulfur checker is a unique thing. Rats, mouse voles after an attack with a saber run without sparing their small paws. Small insects pests and their larvae die from exposure to sulfur.

In addition, sulfur destroys bacterial infections. When burning checkers concentrated smoke is released, it penetrates into all cracks, corners and kills life forms such as mold and fungus. Surfaces affected by mold and rot are cleaned of bacterial diseases. Also, the FAS checker dries the air in the treated rooms.

Summer residents use it in cellars, greenhouses, basements, vegetable stores. Do not use a checker in a residential area! After processing the room, the effect lasts about 3 months. Such an ally suits us!

How to use

The ally is good, wonderful, but FAS is poison! When burning checkers sulphurous anhydride is released. It is a toxic substance that can cause poisoning if inhaled. Therefore, it must be applied carefully, following simple rules:

• Firstly, when working with a checker, gloves, a respirator, and protective glasses are needed.
• Secondly, the processing of the room must be done together. One carries out work, the other controls the process.
• Thirdly, during work, you can not drink, eat, smoke.
• Fourthly, there should not be any children, animals near you.
• Fifth, burning a checker on a wooden floor is dangerous. I put FAS in an old basin. You can not be afraid of the fire.

When all security measures have been taken, then you can get down to business. The wick is not inserted into the checker, it is simply put on the checker cylinder. We set fire to it and making sure that the checker is smoldering, we close all the doors tightly and leave.

After a day, it is necessary to ventilate the room until the smell of sulfur disappears. What remains after burning the checkers must be removed and eliminated. Away from housing, burn leftovers and packaging from checkers. In no case do not throw it into the sewer or into the container, be prudent.

If you do not observe safety measures during work, then you can be poisoned.

Symptoms of Poisoning

Dizziness, headache, and chest pain. Also: choking cough and hoarseness. Symptoms of smoke poisoning can be nosebleeds and sharp pain in the eyes.

But with proper use of checkers, you can not be afraid for your health. Keep it away from medicines, food, and various chemicals. Remember that the treatment with sulfur block is not compatible with other disinfectants.

Instructions for using smoke bombs for the cellar

Sulfur checker is a time-tested tool for processing the cellar. In the process of burning, it releases substances that destroy all pests living in the basement, cellar or greenhouse. Today's article is devoted to how to process the cellar and how to use a checker safely.

Problems solved by checkers

Why use a smoke bomb:

Cellar disinfection. Sulfur quickly destroys fungus and bacteria, making the space safe for human health. Often, the use of sulfur drafts is the best way to quickly kill mold or dangerous bacterial infections.

The destruction of rodents and moles. During combustion, smoke from the checker penetrates into all inaccessible places and crevices. At the same time, he drives away or destroys all the inhabitants of the cellar.

Disinsection of greenhouses. Before you start planting fruit or vegetable crops, it is necessary to disinfect the soil in a greenhouse, greenhouse or greenhouse.

In this case, a smoke bomb is an ideal choice. It quickly erodes and does not settle in the ground. In addition, it kills all pathogens of soil disease, which has a positive effect on productivity.

When processing the room, the smoke bomb must be placed on bricks or a metal sheet.

The mechanism of action of the checkers is very simple. It consists in intensive heating of the air and saturation of the surrounding area with toxic smoke. This not only solves current problems, but also is an excellent preventive measure for the development of rot and mold, which is especially important for wooden structures.

After processing, the existing mold becomes soft and rotten, which makes it easy to clean it with a hard brush. Due to the fact that smoke spreads throughout the room, it expels all insects and animals. This method has been particularly effective in controlling bugs, ticks and bark beetles.

There are both specialized checkers (for example, for combating insects in the cellar or moles), as well as universal ones that can be used to solve any problem.

Pros and cons of using

The main advantages of this product include:

To avoid poisoning, all products and cans with blanks from the cellar must be removed.

But the sulfur checker has significant disadvantages:

1. The need to leave the house while processing the cellar. Manufacturers recommend not only closing the room processed by the checker, but also leaving the house. This is due to the fact that there is always a danger of smoke entering the living room through cracks in the floor or walls of the cellar. For poisoning with sulfuric anhydride, it is enough to inhale a small amount of volatile matter.
2. The ban on processing rooms in which there are any flammable materials.
3. A categorical ban on use in multi-storey buildings. The emitted smoke is very intense and highly toxic. It easily penetrates even the last floors of high-rise buildings and poses a danger to the health of their inhabitants. The use of sulfur drafts in the apartment can lead to criminal liability.
4. Mandatory storage care. Checkers must be stored in sealed original packaging and separately from food, out of the reach of small children and animals. Also, they must be protected from fire.
   Difficulty in fighting moles.

To effectively scare away moles and some types of rodents, it is necessary to place the saber directly into the hole.This is not always convenient due to the inaccessibility of the animal’s home.

Rules for using checkers

First of all, you need to pay attention to the composition of the acquired checkers and the availability of all certificates from its manufacturer. We recommend that you purchase products from well-known companies. For example: Fas, Vist, Climate, City and Tsifum.

In order to make the whole procedure easy and safe for humans, it is necessary to use the checker in accordance with the following instructions. Regardless of whether you intend to process the cellar or carry out the disinsection of the greenhouse, start with a thorough preparation.

After the treatment, the cellar is ventilated until the smell of sulfur disappears.

Before starting the procedure, all metal objects should be removed from the room. If they are too heavy or you do not have the opportunity to do this, do not forget to protect them from sulfur compounds. To avoid corrosion, treat all metal surfaces with solid oil or other greasy and viscous grease.

Cellar disinfection should not be carried out if vegetables, fruits and pickles are stored in it. The set fire gives off sulfur dioxide, which is the basis for the formation of sulfuric acid.

This compound is extremely toxic, therefore, it must not be allowed to get on food. You can pre-remove them or schedule processing for another time. It is ideal to carry it out 2 weeks before laying the crop.

In this case, sulfur will have time to weather, and bacteria and organisms have not yet settled in the cellar. Calculate the required number of checkers, based on the area of ​​the room, its features and the desired effect.

Place the pieces on the fireproof stands. They will save the floor of the cellar from fire and decay. Some manufacturers include them in the kit for the main product.

As an insulating material, you can also use brick, foam block or stone. Better yet, use a long sheet of metal or a deep stand. They will protect surfaces from fire even if the checker falls.

After that, it's time to protect yourself. Wear safety glasses, a respirator and rubber gloves. Collect hair if necessary.

Ignite all the wicks and make sure that the checker begins to smolder. You can determine this by the smoke and pungent odor, as well as by the spot that should form on the surface of the checker.

Leave the room immediately. If you stay near toxic smoke, you will get poisoning. Sulfur secreted to it causes severe irritation of the mucous membranes. Remember to close the door or cellar lid tightly.

After completing work, be sure to change clothes, and also wash your face, hands, and hair.

Keep in mind that the whole procedure will take from 30 minutes to 1.5 hours. After this, the basement or cellar should remain closed for about a day.

This process can be accelerated with a candle in the chimney. Thus, air circulation will accelerate, and the room can be used in a day. Wet cleaning is also recommended.
Be sure to observe safety measures when using the product.

As you can see, processing the cellar with a checker is a snap! Your main task is to ensure the safety of yourself, your family and your pets.

You can easily get rid of pests yourself with the help of this budget, but very effective product. Moreover, it can be used as a means to prevent the occurrence of mold in storages, basements and residential premises.

Why do I need a smoke bomb for a cellar, and how to use it correctly?

In cellars and cellars, you can encounter various unpleasant problems. The most common are mold, rodents and insects.

But there is only one way to solve all the problems at once: sulfur or smoke bomb. It will help both kill the mold spores and scare away rodents and insects.

When and why is it applied?

Sulfur checker for the basement (cellar) is used in the following cases:

Disinfection. Sulfur released by burning checkers allows you to kill all kinds of fungi and bacteria, making the space safe for humans. In addition, vegetables and fruits are stored much better in the treated room, since there is no rotting bacteria. Also, a sulfur checker quickly and efficiently kills mold in the basement.

Fighting rodents. Mice, rats and moles love to live where there is food. The basement is usually used to store supplies, so it is quite difficult to drive them out of here. Sulfur when burning checkers penetrates into all cracks and holes, permanently blocking the entrance of rodents into the room.

How does it work?

The principle of operation of the sulfur block is extremely simple: in the process of burning, toxic sulfur dioxide is emitted and the air space is intensively heated. The level of toxicity is critical for most living organisms, fungi, bacteria.

That is why the smoke bomb not only solves the existing problems, but is also used as a prophylaxis of mold.

Does the cellar checker harm products?

When burning checkers sulphurous anhydride is released, which is the basis of sulfuric acid. This substance settles on all surfaces and is very toxic.

Therefore, it is strictly forbidden to process the premises where food is located, since the substances released during combustion are harmful to the products and to the person who will use them.

Ideally, processing the basement is best done 2 weeks before laying the products. In this case, the poison will have time to weather, and various bacteria and mold will not have time to settle.

Pros and cons of using

As mentioned earlier, a smoke bomb is very convenient to use for processing and drying basements. The advantages of this method are as follows:

But sulfur drafts also have their drawbacks:

• Sulfur anhydride is very toxic: even a small amount of combustion products when ingested in the respiratory tract or digestive tract can cause severe poisoning. Therefore, it is strictly forbidden to use a checker against mold in residential premises, as well as in rooms with vegetables, fruits and other food products;
• smoke from the checker easily penetrates into all cracks, so if the basement is under a residential building, it is recommended to leave it at least for a day;
• Store the product with great care: exclusively in factory sealed packaging, away from sources of fire, food, and small children.

Where is it sold and how much is it?

The cost of checkers is a pleasant nuance for the buyer. This is a very cheap product with great efficiency.

It is worth buying products only from well-known manufacturers with appropriate quality certificates. Products of the following manufacturers are especially popular among consumers:

The cost of drafts of each of the above manufacturers ranges from $ 1 to $ 6. It depends on the following parameters:

1. The area of ​​application on which the mass of the pieces depends.
2. Destination Checkers are general-purpose (affect mold, bacteria, insects, rodents), and are narrow-profile (for example, a tablet to fight moles, which is set on fire directly in the hole).

How to use: instructions for use

Despite the ease of use, certain rules and safety measures when using checkers must be observed:

First, you need to take out all food products and things from the cellar so that toxic combustion products do not settle on them.

The use of checkers provides for complete tightness of the room. You need to take care of this: close all ventilation ducts, close windows, if possible, eliminate all leaks, gaps, holes. Felt, a damp cloth, or special materials (sealants, polyurethane foam, plastic film, and so on) can be used for this.

Before buying checkers, you need to calculate the cubic capacity of the room. If the room is larger than indicated on the package, its effectiveness will drop. The installation location is also better thought out in advance.

In order not to ignite the finishing materials, on the floor you need to make a pedestal of brick, foam block, a sheet of iron or other refractory material. The place must be prepared in such a way that, if the checker falls, it still does not reach flammable objects.

You also need to pay attention to personal protective equipment of the one who will set fire to the product:

When everything is prepared, you can start processing the room:

1. The checker is installed on the prepared pedestal in the middle of the cellar.
2. Set fire to the wick and immediately leave the room.
3. After that, the lid (door) of the cellar is hermetically closed.
4. After the procedure, you need to thoroughly wash all the clothes, wash your face, hands and hair.

Burning checkers lasts from 40 to 120 minutes. After this, the cellar or basement should remain hermetically sealed for at least another day.

If so, turn on the exhaust system. You can close the cellar and put food there only after the smell of hydrogen sulfide disappears completely. It takes at least two days.
