Pest Control with a Smoke Bomb
Grab them before they grab your plants!
Pests can be an unexpected problem when setting up a fresh grow room, or at any stage through the development of the plants. The pests can spread a grow room disease and affect the health of the plants which will spoil the quality and ruin the appearance.
Examples are leafhoppers and aphids which can suck the sap out of the plants. Other damage can be the chewing of leaves and damage to the flowers.
Eggs can be laid into the tissue of the plants which causes further harm.
These tiny little pests can enter the grow room through tiny cracks, air vents, windows and can even be brought into the grow room on a person's clothes.
In addition, they are often of a similar colour to the plants which mean they are rather hidden from general eyesight!
Another possibility is by adding new plants from a different growroom that are already contaminated.
There are a large range of pests that can flourish in a grow room such as aphids, leafhoppers, ants, thrips, spider mites and traditional house flies.
Wings and droppings are often left behind on the leaves which is one way of identiying their presence.
An insect smoke bomb is a fantastic method of dealing with the pests and will eliminate them all without causing any harm to the plants.
They are also useful to decontaminate the grow room between growing sessions.
Available in a variety of sizes they are suitable for sterilising all different kinds of grow rooms.
They typically contain the active ingredient which is Permethrin.
Simply light the non-sparking wick, smoke fumes will work their way into all nooks and crannies killing all flying and crawling insects in treated area.
The one precaution to be aware of - ensure you exit the grow room immediately when the wick is lit.
