Using sulfur strips for fumigation is a chemical method to control small hive beetles (SHB) and wax moths in stored beekeeping equipment. Sulfur strips, when burned in airtight stacks of stored equipment, release sulfur dioxide gas, which is toxic to SHB and wax moth pests. This method is effective for fumigating larger quantities of equipment at once. It is crucial to use sulfur strips in well-ventilated areas and follow all safety precautions and instructions provided by the manufacturer, as sulfur dioxide gas is harmful to humans. After fumigation, equipment needs to be thoroughly aired out before being used in bee colonies. Sulfur fumigation is a relatively inexpensive and effective option for sanitizing stored equipment.
