Sometimes the harvest has already been stored in storage when pests, mold or mildew are discovered on the walls. Most insecticides for treating cellars and basements contain toxic substances and are designed for use in empty rooms. In contrast, “Vist” is allowed to be used against bacteria, viruses, and fungal diseases without harm to fruits, vegetables and grain crops.
Advantages of the Vist smoke bomb:
- the drug is approved by the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation for processing vegetables and fruits;
- the emitted smoke is non-toxic to humans and animals;
- suitable for processing filled cellars, basements, storage rooms, greenhouses with plants;
- the effect and protection against recurrent disease lasts up to 6-8 months;
- much lighter than a sulfur bomb, convenient to use and transport.
General description and characteristics
“Vist” is a bulk smoke tablet of 5 g. The drug is effective against most pathogens that infect vegetable stores, and repels insects and rodents. The main action is directed against mold and fungal diseases, all types of dry and gray rot, fusarium, fomoz, scab, late blight.
If you want to protect plants in greenhouses and conservatories from pests and diseases, while at the same time activating their growth and fruiting, pay attention to the Hephaestus tobacco checker; information about it is presented on this page.
What is Checker Whist?
Checker Vist is one of the few products that can be used all year round for processing fruits, vegetables, grains and other products in storage.
The active substance released during the combustion process is thiabendazole . It is a systemic fungicide with protective and healing properties. It not only destroys bacteria, viruses and fungi on vegetables, fruits and grains, but also protects them from re-disease for 6-8 months. This substance is absolutely harmless to both people and animals.
Vist packaging is a plastic container containing bulk tablets with a total weight of 400 g. One such tablet weighing 5 grams is enough to process 25 cubic meters of air space or 500 kg of agricultural products.
Shelf life in original packaging is unlimited.
What is the whist checker intended for?
Checker Vist is intended for processing the following premises:
- greenhouses made of polycarbonate, polyethylene, glass and other materials;
- greenhouses and greenhouses;
- basements, cellars and other food storage;
- granaries and elevators;
- industrial and production premises;
- food warehouses;
- transport transporting food products.
Plastic packaging for Whist checkers
Checker Vist effectively copes with mold in the basement or mold in the greenhouse. Unlike sulfur bombs, it is completely harmless to people, animals and the food itself. The manufacturer recommends using Vist for treating premises after planting agricultural products. This will allow you to disinfect not only the room itself, but also kill all diseases that get into the storage along with vegetables, fruits or grains.
Whist treats plants, finished crops and disinfects storage areas from the following types of diseases and problems:
- mold and other fungal diseases;
- all types of rot, including dry rot, gray rot, etc.;
- fusarium;
- oosporosis;
- Phomasis or gangrene;
- scab;
- late blight
After treatment, protection against recurrent disease is guaranteed for 6-8 months.
In fact, this is more information for advertising. If normal conditions are not created in the storage (there is no normal ventilation, it is humid), then mold and other problems will appear much earlier.

Advantages of Whist checkers
It’s worth talking about the advantages separately:
- Only Vist can be used to treat not only premises, but also finished products (sulfur bombs are not suitable for this, since during the combustion process they emit harmful and dangerous smoke).
- The products of burning bombs are absolutely harmless to both humans and animals.
- Application is possible at any time of the year. It is used to treat empty rooms, plants during growth and fruiting, finished crops during storage, tuber and bulbous planting material before planting, etc.
- A checker of Whist weighing only 5 grams is equal in effectiveness to 5 hundred grams of sulfur analogues.
- The drug has passed all state tests, has state registration, quality certificates and is approved by the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation.
Where is the Whist checker sold and how much does it cost?
Bulk smoke bombs Vist are sold in almost all stores specializing in agronomy (shops of country and agricultural goods, fertilizers). You can purchase the drug both wholesale (a bucket with a total weight of 400 grams) and retail (tablets of 5 grams).
The cost of one checker weighing 5 grams varies from 100 to 150 rubles. Wholesale packaging will cost you 6-6.5 thousand rubles.
How to use Vist
Calculate the number of checkers at the rate of 5 g per 25 cubic meters or 500 kg of product. If possible, seal the room hermetically. Install a stand made of non-flammable material and place the drug. Light the checker with a match, go out and close the doors. Burning takes only 60 seconds. After 24 hours you can start airing.
The product is suitable for simultaneous treatment of products and premises. This is one of the rare drugs that is used both before planting a crop and at any other time when mold or disease appears. Another use option is related to the pre-planting preparation of tubers and bulbs for protection against pathogenic microflora. Timely processing increases yield and shelf life.
Instructions for use
It is not enough to simply light a checker and throw it into the desired room - you must follow the instructions. By doing everything correctly, you are guaranteed to avoid possible consequences of use.
Step-by-step instructions for use:
- First of all, we remove any metal objects (they can seriously deteriorate from exposure to smoke) and food from the room being treated. Those metal structures that cannot be removed must be protected with any non-flammable coating (for example, plastic film) or painted (worse, but it will also help).
- The saber must be used in a sealed room, otherwise smoke may escape and the effectiveness of the treatment may decrease. Therefore, everything must be closed: windows, doors, ventilation openings (both supply and exhaust). You should also seal any cracks, if any.
- The figures for the consumption of checkers were given above: according to the instructions, 1 piece can process 25 cubic meters of space. But to enhance the effect, it is better to underestimate this value. Use one checker per 5-10 cubic meters of room.
- Make sure that there is nothing within a few meters around the installed checker that could ignite (unless it was taken outside).
- Wear protective equipment: respirator and gloves. In principle, if you follow all the rules, you can do without it: protective equipment is more of a precautionary measure in case you stay indoors.
- Vist must be installed on a non-flammable stand, ideally on bricks.
- Next, it is advisable for you to call someone as an insurer: the person should stand outside, at the open door, and make sure that you leave the room on time.
- Insert a wick into the checker and light it, then immediately leave the room. It should burn for 20-30 seconds, perhaps a little longer. This is just enough time to set fire to other checkers (if there are several of them) and quickly leave the room.
- When leaving the room, close all the cracks in the door from the outside using electrical tape or rags.
- Next, you need to remove and wash your clothes, even if the smoke enters in small quantities.
The product will smolder for about an hour and a half, after which it will go out. Your task is not to open the treated room during the day.
After 24 hours, thoroughly ventilate the treated room: open all existing windows and doors, turn on exhaust systems (if any). Ventilation should continue for 2-3 days. Then it is advisable to carry out additional wet cleaning.
How safe is Vist?
"Vist" can be used all year round to protect and treat agricultural products from rot, scab, and mold. It is completely safe to use the checker for direct processing of fruits and vegetables. It is recommended to treat greenhouses and greenhouses at the stage of plant growth and fruiting, and storage facilities - soon after planting the crop.
The smoke and substances emitted by the saber are harmless to humans and animals. “Vist” does not cause corrosion and can be used in rooms made of any materials.
How and when to treat a greenhouse with a checker
To carry out sanitary treatment of the greenhouse, you can select a variety of smoke bombs, in particular such as: sulfur, tobacco and hexochlorane. If plants in greenhouses suffer from fungi, bacteria and small insects, then you need to use sulfur bombs. With their help, not only the soil is disinfected, but also the entire building. To eliminate insects and caterpillars in the soil, it is best to use smoke bombs made on the basis of hexachlorane.
Tobacco smoke bombs are very effective against moths, ants and various diseases.
In this case, the elimination of pests and diseases is carried out by fumigation. When carrying out this treatment method, smoke permeates all areas of the greenhouse, even those that are inaccessible. Using this method of processing, it is possible to cover a large area with minimal cost and without much difficulty. Growing crops indoors is associated with the risk of infection of the structure and plants with various diseases, as well as the appearance of pests in the greenhouse. To avoid this, disinfection is required.
The best and most effective method for disinfecting soil in a greenhouse is considered to be checkers such as:
They destroy almost all known types of larvae, fungi, microorganisms and many other infections. If the infection was minor, then it is recommended to treat the greenhouse with a sulfur bomb in the fall, after cleaning. The event continues for 3 days, after which the greenhouse must be thoroughly ventilated and closed for the winter. In case of severe infection or the presence of various pests, disinfection once will not be enough. That is why it is necessary to carry out additional soil cultivation in the spring 2-3 weeks before the intended planting of seedlings in the greenhouse.
Tobacco smoke bombs can also be used during the period of active plant growth, since they do not cause any harm at all, but cope very well with pests.
Such checkers can be used in greenhouses made of various materials. Important! Fumigation with smoke bombs does not have a residual effect, since the distributed smoke destroys diseases and pests in the greenhouse only during the burning of the bomb and a few hours after that.

After work, you should thoroughly wash exposed areas of the body (hands, face). If you accidentally inhale pesticide vapors, you should immediately remove the victim to fresh air and, if necessary, send him to the hospital. Store Vist tablets in undamaged packaging from the manufacturer, away from medications, food and animal feed.
When to treat a greenhouse with a sulfur bomb
Disinfection of the greenhouse using a checker is carried out in the fall, after the end of the growing season and complete cleaning of the greenhouse, and also in the spring, no later than two weeks before planting the first crops. Fall treatment is usually carried out in September or early October. In spring, you can begin disinfection in April.
The temperature during fumigation must be at least +10°C. If the greenhouse is located in an area with high groundwater, treatment must be postponed until the soil dries to a depth of at least 10 cm. Otherwise, sulfurous acid will penetrate into the deep layers of the soil, which will adversely affect the activity of soil bacteria.
Checkers for processing greenhouses: in what cases to use
Plants in greenhouse conditions are susceptible to many diseases and pests. You can get rid of this if you regularly treat the greenhouse using special smoke bombs. This method of disinfection allows you to get rid of insects and diseases in literally 1-2 procedures.
When smoldering, a smoke bomb destroys everything in the greenhouse:
Sulfur bomb is widely used, which also has a depressing effect on rodents, scaring them away. Such a checker consists of 5-10 tablets, designed to treat a certain area of the greenhouse. To carry out the treatment, you need to take a certain number of tablets, set them on fire with a wick and leave them to smolder in a tightly closed greenhouse for several hours. This produces a lot of smoke, which completely fills the greenhouse.
Smoke very easily penetrates the most inaccessible places, where pathogens and pests accumulate.
When combined with steam and moisture, the released substance turns into sulfurous acid, which also has the required disinfecting effect, while disinfecting the walls of the greenhouse and the soil.
Despite the effectiveness of this disinfection method, it is worth remembering that sulfur smoke bombs are very toxic, which is why its use necessarily requires compliance with certain safety rules.
The principle of operation of a sulfur bomb
A sulfur block is a set of tablets containing the active substance – sulfur – in an amount of 750 g/kg. When smoldering, the checker releases sulfur dioxide, which effectively kills bacteria, viruses and fungi, as well as harmful insects. The checker has a depressing effect on rodents and scares them away.
The checker consists of 5-10 tablets and is designed to treat a certain volume of the room. For processing, take the required number of tablets, set them on fire with a wick and leave the checker to smolder in a tightly closed greenhouse. This produces a large volume of smoke that fills the structure.
Smoke easily penetrates into hard-to-reach places: joints of frame elements, polycarbonate, cracks in the foundation and fences of beds - where pests and pathogens accumulate. When combined with vapors and drops of moisture, the anhydride forms sulfurous acid, which gives an additional disinfecting effect and disinfects the soil and walls of the greenhouse.
Types of smoke bombs
Which sulfur bomb should I choose for processing a polycarbonate greenhouse? This question worries many novice summer residents. Often, sulfur bombs are mistakenly classified as means for killing insects and microorganisms based on other toxic substances. The scope of application of the smoke bomb and its effectiveness depend on the active substance.

Unique Mukhoyar
The most unique among checkers is Mukhoyar. Or rather, it’s not really a saber, but a powder in a tin. If you set it on fire, it does not burn, but it smokes very strongly one or two minutes after setting it on fire. The arsonist will have time to leave the room safe and sound, but flies, wasps, cockroaches, lice eaters, fleas and mosquitoes can be carried forward feet first.
The cost of such a checker is 95 rubles. And if the insects bother you, then you can spend money. Remains of smoke are removed by ventilation for two to three days. And you can move in again. Does not affect fungal diseases and mold, kills only insects.
As you can see, you can buy a saber for any occasion. They cost in the range from 50 to 100 rubles. That is, the family budget will not suffer much from their use, but there will be many benefits.
