Directions for sulfur vaporizer use

G

Guest

Could somebody give me some tips on how long and how often I should put it on for. My box is 32 sqft and about 210 cu ft. This is for preventive maintenance. There are also numbers running down the side. I'm guessing these mean how close the sulfur is to the heating element. Should I have it as close as possible?

Thanks.

Here's a little info I pulled from http://www.bghydro.com/BGH/itemdesc.asp?ic=PCSV&eq=&Tp

Tips on usage: When used indoors, make sure to turn off exhaust fans and lights during operation. For preventative use, turn on the unit for 4-5 hours 2 times per week. For active infestation, turn on the unit 4-5 hours 4 times per week. DO NOT use a sulfur burner around plants that have been sprayed with any type of oil-based products within the last 30 days or the plants will burn. BGH recommends using an Off-Switcher and a 7-Day Digital Timer in conjunction with the Sulfur Vaporizer and your exhaust fans; this will help automate the application and also prevent the fans from coming on during the vaporization period. Automating the application will greatly improve your results, since most people don't have the ability to babysit the system (remembering to plug and unplug the burner and fans, etc.).

Luckily I've never had PM, so I've never used a sulfur burner but a couple of friends have used them quite successfully to kill PM...I'm guessing using the above instructions, but I can't be 100% sure since I've lost contact with them.
