The Fortefog Greenhouse Garlic Smoke is a pyrotechnic fumigation smoke generating device. In clearer terms, it is a fumer cylinder that is lit, via a fuse, to release a natural garlic based smoke to fumigate greenhouses. It is ideal for cleansing greenhouses and providing plants a healthy start at propagation.
Garlic is a natural ingredient that aids the natural resistance of plants to insect pests, including; Whitefly, Thrip and Aphids. It also acts as a natural dispersant for insect pests already situated in the greenhouse.
Greenhouse Garlic Smoke will also help plants and crops to resist, or recover from, many common fungal diseases. Research shows that garlic can enhance plants natural resistance to diseases such as; Fusarium oxysporum, Phytophthora spp, Phythium spp, Rhizoctonia solani, Botrytis cinerea, Alternaria brassisicola and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum.
1. First, close all greenhouse windows, doors and vents.
2. Remove the lid and light the fuse with a match, or lighter, and exit the greenhouse.
3. Leave the greenhouse closed for at least two hours, or preferably overnight.
4. The following day remove the spent container and dispose of it safely.
If setting off the Garlic Smoke before the use of natural predators, please wait at least 48hrs before applying the beneficial insects.
If you are wishing to use Garlic Smoke after having applied predators please wait at least 4 weeks before setting off the fumer.

3. At the end of the growing season: to aid the clean out of greenhouses
