If you're looking to buy a Sulphur Candle

I've been keeping an eye on the price of these at Amazon and it's generally been £15-£17.
All of a sudden the price has dropped to £9.69
So if you're going to get one, grab one while they're (relatively) cheap

    Has anyone tried the garlic candles as an alternative? They sound a lot less toxic than sulphur and cheaper too. You don't need to remove the plants either which makes more sense.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    Never heard of a garlic candle.
    Does the smell stick around for a long time?

    Sounds like a great idea but I'd need quite a few for my PT.   Went looking anyway and found this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2oWfz-F5LY 

    Might be easier to use a garlic spray in a big space but definitely better than sulphur.

    .

    If garlic candles are as effective as home made garlic spray well you would be wasting you money!

    I made some spray up, totally useless, it only stunk me out of the greenhouse not the pests!

    Sulphur candles work, but I had to use two at a time in my greenhouse because of its size, getting rid of the pests did not justify the cost of them!
