Hi can anyone tell me if fumigating my greenhouse with Vitax Greenhouse Fumigator containing Permethrin will harm any plants if I leave them in the greenhouse , Thank you

What does it say on the box, Costus. If the instructions do not give any advice to the contrary I would remove all plants.

Hi, if you use a garlic candle, you don't have to take the plants out, otherwise I agree with Bulbaholic, Derek.

Thank you for your help, the instructions on the tin do not give any indication on this, only health and safety instructions to the user.I have even went to the manufacturers website to no avail.

You're right, Costus, it doesn;t say on the label - I've just sent 'em an email asking the question, so will get back to you if/when they respond.

I've heard back from Vitax - they say the chemicals in the Fumigator don't damage plants, but the burning process may discolour some leaves on some plants temporarily, so they suggest removing any young or very sensitive plants first.
