Has anybody ever tried sulfer strips to kill their hives.

>This thread has wandered a bit... no problem, just pointing out the obvious.

>Take a clue from a volcano or an old sailor hydrogen sulfide will kill almost anything at extremely low doses and very quickly. It was the first thing I use 5+ decades ago to kill s couple of hives.  The equipment is reusable and the material to do the 'killin' ain't expensive.  You basically make a hand rolled cig up with a bit of flower surfer added, stick in a copper tube which you stick in the entry, then after taping up or closing off any entries light the cig. Works incredible fast. In a confined space it will also kill people as most sailors know. 

>dusted sulfur is also good to limit problems with ticks, bedbugs and chiggers if you get in the habit of dusting your pants cuffs before venturing out into the woods.

>I have over the years purposefully killed a lot of hives for various reason. One need to be careful who you fess that up to in social circles....
