Abstract: A fumigation apparatus (1) includes a sulfur evaporator (3) including a heat source (28) and a container (9). The heat source (28) includes an electrically operated heating coil (15). The container (9) includes a wall (11) and an inner space (13). The inner space (13) is designed and arranged to store sulfur (14) to be evaporated therein. The container (9) substantially is made of ceramic material. The heat source (28) and the container (9) are designed as one common structural unit. The heating coil (15) at least partly is arranged in the wall (11) of the container (9) such that it is embedded in the ceramic material.
