Smoke bombs from cockroaches - reviews and instructions for use

What is a smoke bomb as an insecticidal agent

This unusual form of insect control came to us from Japan. This country is known for its unique inventions and receiving various benefits from smoke - a variant of this number, we all have seen and know Japanese incense, as well as ritual activities adopted in the land of the rising sun. Such capabilities are due to the qualities of smoke to carry light molecules of solid particles in their mass, as well as a very light molecular weight.

As a result, smoke particles, with fractions of other substances attached to them, are able to reach the most remote areas, which, as a rule, are not accessible for standard processing methods. This physical property is called fumigation, and substances carried with smoke particles are called fumigants.

Particles of water vapor have a similar effect and this method is already more environmentally friendly and can be used in residential premises. As for the smoke bombs, the actual combustion process takes place here, which in itself is dangerous, both from the point of view of fire safety and toxicity for living organisms, including humans, pets, birds, aquarium fish, and so on.

Cold fog technology concept

The use of cold fog against cockroaches allows you to solve problems:

Completely destroy insects indoors;
Process complex objects, such as warehouses and storages;
Destroy mold and mildew.

Treatment for cockroaches should be carried out exclusively by sanitary workers, they will correctly calculate the concentration of the toxic component, and will carry out a disinfestation with a generator. The technology of the process is simple, a cloud consisting of small particles appears in the generator, and they fly out of the device, settle on the surface, and have a detrimental effect on arthropods.

The droplets are 50 microns in size and remain in the air for about 4 hours. The particles are equally distributed throughout the apartment, falling into secluded and hard-to-reach areas. The temperature of the particles emitted from the generator is equal to the ambient temperature. Cold fog treatment is detrimental to cockroaches for several hours after the process, since the particles retain their activity until they are completely dry.

Cold cockroach fog has the following benefits:

Economical use of a solution containing poisonous particles;
Possibility of processing premises where flammable drugs and objects that cannot tolerate high temperatures are located;
Works evenly over the entire area;
Environmental friendliness.

The following preparations are used as a working solution:

Solfak (emulsion, dissolves quickly, the active substance is cyfluthrin);
DET (emulsion, consisting of three active substances - esbiothrin, deltamethrin, tetramethrin);
Otrin (suspension, deltamethrin composition).

The products have 4 degree of danger, completely harmless to people and pets. Approved for use in private houses and apartments.

Processing rules

The method of using sulfur bombs requires the following rules.

Before proceeding with the processing of an object with a sulfuric block, it is necessary to exclude the escape of smoke through the walls and roof. To do this, with the help of special or improvised material, carry out all the preparatory work.

Next, calculate the amount of product for processing, which depends on the volume of the room. Basically, this is 300 g of product per 10 m3 of object.

Prepare the number of non-combustible trays for the treater location. Place them at an inaccessible distance from flammable objects.

Light the wick and leave immediately, closing the entrance tightly behind you. The work must be carried out by at least two workers. The third, controlling the situation, should be at the front door and observe the entire process of work.

Our online store recommends buying insect and mold control products by ordering them from us. The price for products in this category is indicated on a specific page of our website. Detailed information can be obtained through the specialists of our online store. To do this, contact them by phone.

Features of processing a room with cold fog

Arthropod baiting with cold fog has the following features:

Increases the level of humidity in the room, before work, measures should be taken to reduce it;
The process excludes the flooding of floors, walls and furniture, so there will be no spoiled interior in the apartment;
Poisoned particles at the slightest contact with insects instantly destroy them;
An arthropod in contact with a poisonous drop infects the colony in a chain, the reaction spreads like a virus.

Poisoning cockroaches in this way is appropriate if there is a small degree of insect infestation in a house or apartment. After processing with fog, ventilate the apartment, wipe the surfaces with which the person is more often in contact, and leave hard-to-reach places for 10-12 days.

How to use a smoke bomb

Depending on the type of checker, the period of isolation of the room during processing can vary from several hours to one day.

In the middle of the room to be treated, a metal basin or pan with a side of at least 20 cm is placed.
A Japanese or other smoke bomb is placed in the middle of a pot or basin. It has a small wick that can burn for 10-15 seconds so that you have time to leave the room before the active substance is activated.
Immediately after lighting the wick, leave the room by closing the door tightly. It is a bad idea to stay and watch the smoke spread.
Sulfur bombs from cockroaches and bedbugs can smoke for 5-20 minutes, the smoke will fill the room and act from several hours to a day.
After returning to the apartment, you must immediately open the windows, doors and ventilation holes. Ventilate the room with a draft for at least an hour.
After that, a full wet cleaning is carried out.

The principle of operation of the generator

Cold steam generator

The functional purpose of the cold noise generator is to spray an insecticidal solution in the form of the smallest particles (about 50 microns), the temperature of which is identical to the ambient temperature. Drops float in the air for up to 4 hours. Initially, this artificially generated fog rises upward. Then it begins to slowly sink down, gently spreading throughout the room, covering all surfaces and filling even hard-to-reach places.

Pros and cons of checkers

The main advantage of this insect exterminator is the ability to penetrate anywhere. There are no obstacles for the smoke, it even destroys bedbugs that have hidden under the furniture upholstery.

Another plus is a wide range of actions. The smoke kills not only bedbugs, but also other insects, and sometimes one checker is enough for 300 square meters of space. The tool is relatively inexpensive, effective against adult bloodsucking and larvae.

Despite its advantages, the hot smoke bomb has not become widespread. There are several reasons for this:

The smoke from it can disturb not only insects, but also employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations. Fire alarms can react to smoke, and a false call can be costly for owners.
Smoke does not need to get through the ventilation pipes to the neighbors. Depending on the level of activity of the checker, it can fill several floors. Such disinfection is unlikely to please the residents of other apartments. Therefore, you will have to use checkers in apartment buildings at your own peril and risk.
Permethrin does not have a detrimental effect on owners and pets. But if you inhale it for a long time, intoxication will come with all the ensuing consequences.

As the reviews say, sometimes people's well-being worsens even a few seconds after the appearance of smoke. Therefore, the treatment should not be carried out for those who suffer from allergies and respiratory diseases.

Another disadvantage is the lack of residual action of this insecticide. In addition, it acts only on adult bloodsucking animals and their larvae. Bedbug eggs remain completely safe. Therefore, in two weeks the apartment will have to be processed again.

Now you can buy a smoke bomb from Japanese or Chinese-made bedbugs. The developers say they are adapted for pest control in apartment buildings. But since many tools have not been translated into Russian, there is no particular confidence in this.

In addition, such a drug is more expensive than a standard smoke bomb for bedbugs. If the owners nevertheless decide to fight insects in this way, in order to avoid problems, it is worth turning off the fire alarm and warning the residents of neighboring apartments.

Features of the action

The poisonous smoke contains insecticides that affect the respiratory system of insects, the nervous one. They cause muscle paralysis, seizures, and a quick death of various types of cockroaches. Smoke penetrates into the smallest crevices, the likelihood of pests hiding in secluded places is minimized. There is no residual effect. After airing, cleaning the apartment is completely cleaned of toxic substances.

Important!
Poisonous smoke does not kill insect larvae that are in the ootheca at the time of the smoke attack. Within a week, a new generation of cockroaches will appear from them, ready to reproduce. It is required to re-conduct pest control 14 days after the first procedure.

To increase the effectiveness of the product, it is recommended to combine it with other insecticidal preparations. A good effect is achieved with the additional use of poisonous baits, insect traps.

Disease-causing spores of fungus and mold are very dangerous for humans.

Only with a strong infection can they give off an unpleasant odor. But even a small number of them in an apartment guarantees the presence of spores in the air. When a person breathes, they enter the body and provoke the development of various diseases. It may just appear:

nausea,
vomiting.

chronic diseases will worsen,
the work of the gastrointestinal tract will be disrupted.

Poisoning can develop slowly and not manifest itself from the first days, so there is no need to wait for acute consequences. And at the first appearance of a fungus or mold, then start a fight with them. Processing a greenhouse or basement with a sulfur stick will cost much faster and cheaper than treating the consequences of the presence of the cause of the disease.

Testimonials

Kirill, Moscow: “The sulfur checker was bought a long time ago, but it came in handy only after moving to a new apartment. The owner, when concluding the lease, convinced my wife that we could not find a better place anywhere. Maybe so, but the cockroaches definitely couldn't find anything better.They did not appear immediately, but only after 2-3 weeks, and in such quantities that conventional sprayers such as "Diclofos" were not able to cope with them. I had to temporarily move to my friends and start hunting insects. "

Marina, Izhevsk: “A neighbor with three dogs lives in my mother’s house, and it’s not worth talking about what state they turned her apartment into. The fact that the entrance is full of cockroaches speaks for itself. They also appeared in my mother's apartment, and we cannot bring them out in any way. An acquaintance advised a sulfur checker, we will try. "

Sulfuric checker is an effective, but not safe means for baiting cockroaches. It must be used extremely carefully in full accordance with the instructions. The effect of application is about 95% the first time and reaches 100% with repeated spraying of the insecticide.

Smoke bombs for the destruction of insect pests.

On store counters, insecticidal agents are most often found intended for baiting cockroaches in a small area (in an apartment, office or a small country house). But what if insects occupied a large object? Then you won't be enough of crayons and aerosols, and you will have to wait a long time for the result in large areas.

There is a way out of this situation: professionals recommend poisoning cockroaches in large non-residential buildings using smoke bombs. But this tool is rather unpopular, so you should understand its effectiveness, safety, and also think about which checker to choose for pest control.

Security measures

When using a smoke bomb, fire and chemical safety rules must be observed:

Be sure to use a respirator - a protective case for the respiratory system.
Only a healthy person should be involved in chemical treatment.
Do not eat food that has ended up in the treated area.
Do not wear clothing soaked in toxic poisons without pre-washing.
Use only non-combustible materials for the construction of a structure for a smoke bomb.
The room at the time of processing must be supervised in order to avoid unforeseen situations.
After the procedure, ventilate the room.

Extermination of cockroaches with smoke bombs

To use this type of disinfectant, some preparation is required before starting the extermination of insects.

It is very important that the smoke does not penetrate into the surrounding cut, since in this case its concentration in the treated room will decrease.

How is it necessary to organize the etching work so that the smoke bomb from cockroaches would work effectively? And most importantly, that would only harm the Prussians. This requires preparatory work. They are as follows:

sealing cracks. Any rags are useful for this. With the help of it, you can prevent the escape of smoke from the premises to the street;
if the room to be pickled is located next to buildings in which people live, they must be warned about the possible leakage of smoke from your house (as the cracks are not repaired, the smoke will still probably escape out);
a non-combustible substrate should be prepared for the installation of the smoke treater. Cockroach checkers, when activated, can heat up to high temperatures. Therefore, so that nothing catches fire, they need to be installed at a distance from objects that can ignite. And place the checker itself on a non-combustible stand prepared in advance.

A smoke bomb against cockroaches can be activated in two ways:

by the method of arson (pyrotechnic),
by the method of reaction of the checker with water (aquafumigator).

In the second method, activation occurs as follows:

after removing the smoke product from the package, it is immersed in a container with a certain amount of water;
the reaction starts within a few seconds.As a result, smoke is released.

As soon as the reaction began and a gray spot appeared, the room urgently needed to be left. After that, the breeding of cockroaches automatically proceeds to their extermination without human intervention.

Usually, permethrin is listed as an active ingredient in smoke bombs. It acts on the Prussians as a nerve agent. He first paralyzes insects, after which they die. What is typical, if the active substance in the product is 10%, then it effectively copes not only with the Prussians. Other insect pests also perish from such a poisoner. Thus, when using this method of processing, almost all flying and crawling insect pests will be destroyed.

Further actions after activating the smoky etchant:

We leave the processing object tightly closed for several hours (the specific time is indicated in the instructions);
further after this period of time, we are engaged in airing the object. Having created a draft, airing should continue the same according to the instructions, but always until the extraneous smell disappears completely;
if the treatment was carried out in a residential area, then a thorough cleaning must be carried out after etching. Such cleaning is carried out with warm soapy water and a brush;
for industrial facilities, cleaning is carried out as needed.

Destruction of cockroaches by fog

The essence of the technology is not new, although "anti-cocktail fog therapy" is considered an innovative advance in the field of cleaning the house from pests. It turns out that even in antiquity, people resorted to the treatment of rooms infected with cockroaches with smoke. Modern experts have noticed the similarity between fog and smoke. Each of the substances is a composition characterized by a high concentration of small parts of water, but there are also solid components in the smoke, provoked by the combustion process.

Modern products

On the market for similar products, several options for checkers can be offered. There is an opportunity to buy domestic and foreign products. Difference in price, mechanism of action.

Smoke bomb Quiet evening

An insecticidal mosquito repellent, but used to kill any crawling, flying parasites. Allowed to be used in residential areas with a large number of insects.

The active ingredient is permethrin. The device is installed on a solid fireproof surface and ignited. After 5 minutes, a puff of smoke forms, which does not stop emitting for 6 hours.

Feedback

Acts weakly against bed bugs. Still, a drug for mosquitoes. An unpleasant odor is present, but disappears quickly. It will help if you first destroy the nest of bedbugs with an aerosol, and let the smoke go after it. Doesn't work on eggs. Requires repetition in 10 days.

Irina, Moscow

A quiet evening from bedbugs is used more as one of the components of an integrated fight.

Smoke bomb Fas

Sulfuric checker Fas from bedbugs

The sulfur checker is intended for use in greenhouses, greenhouses, basements, cellars, in open areas. In residential premises, use at your own peril and risk. It contains 80% sulfur. During processing, the apartment should be completely sealed.

Install the product on a hard surface, set fire to the wick. You need to work in personal protective equipment. The drug smolders for about 6 hours. Sulfur is dangerous for humans, mammals, fish, birds. After using the product, you need to thoroughly ventilate the room, be sure to wet cleaning with the addition of soda.

What is the difference between cold mists from cockroaches and manual fumigation?

Hand sprayers or knapsack sprayers reach insects less efficiently than electric sprayers because they have much larger droplet sizes.In addition, it will take you a lot of time and the whole process is more time consuming. It is also unpleasant that after manual processing the surfaces remain very wet. Hand sprayers are ideal when you need to spray nearby, in places such as yards and gardens.

Application features

As with any insect repellent, a smoke bomb, regardless of its composition and purpose, must be accompanied by instructions for use by the manufacturer. However, all tools of this kind usually have a similar algorithm of use, which looks like this:

in the room where the treatment will be carried out, all windows and doors are closed to increase the effectiveness of the product;
the checker is placed in the center of the room on a surface that is immune to fire, you can use stone, ceramics, tiles, metal sheets, etc .; as a stand;
the body of the checker is placed in a container with water according to the instructions and set on fire, if necessary;
then you should leave the room.

The description attached to an insecticide of this kind contains complete information about the effectiveness against certain types of insects, the maximum radius and duration of action, as well as the features of application.

In some cases, the checker may lack a wick for ignition, in which case it ignites spontaneously upon contact with water. You should be especially careful in this case. Most of the funds are placed during production in a special jar, which is already placed in a container with water before use.

In this case, there is no need to get a checker out of such a factory can.

As a rule, one treatment in this way is quite enough to destroy unwanted arthropods within the radius of action of the agent. In some cases, repeated disinsection or complex use in combination with other active and passive insecticidal agents is not excluded.

Instructions for use

After the wick is ignited, a chain reaction begins, leading to the combustion of the chemicals embedded in the checker. As a whole, they practically harmless for the Prussians, but the products of their combustion lead to the present cockroach apocalypse!

Sulfur compounds. On combustion, they are converted to anhydride. It is already a serious substance that is sometimes used for pest control on an industrial scale.
Hexachloran... When burned, it forms a caustic compound, which, after entering the insect's body, first completely disables the digestive organs, and then paralyzes the nervous system. The cockroach dies from an hour to a day.

Didecyldimethylammonium bromide is also sometimes used, but it is more focused on the destruction of field pests, the effectiveness against cockroaches is questionable.

After reading these lines, you probably thought about safety precautions when using checkers. Yes, it is very serious, but we prefer to keep the reader on their toes until the end of the story, so let's skip right to the instructions, and leave the precautions for a snack.

We remove children, old people and those individuals from the housewho will not take part in the processing;
move furniture away from the walls (most of the cockroaches are located there);
we close all windows and doors tightlyso that the smoke does not disappear ahead of time;
in the center of the processed room we put a large cup or metal basin (shallow);
put a checker in this container, set fire to the wick and wait for the smoke to start.

As soon as the smoke goes, you need to immediately leave the premises. Although checkers are not considered particularly toxic to humans, breathe these combustion products do not care very harmful, especially for people suffering from respiratory diseases.

Smoke is emitted about 5 minutes... It takes another two hours to distribute it around the apartment. After this time, you need to return to the room and open all the windows.This is necessary for ventilation. If there is an opportunity to look after the housing, then it will be useful to open the front door as well.

After three to four hours in the house you need to do wet cleaning. We will delight dear reader - during this procedure, you can already remove the corpses of annoying cockroaches. Only after such cleaning will people be able to return to their homes, but cats will have to stay a little more than a day.

Important. The smoke kills cockroaches, but has practically no effect on eggs. Therefore, in addition to using checkers, additional processing will be required by other means.

Step-by-step instructions for using smoke bombs to kill cockroaches

Smoke treatment of an object includes 3 stages:

Premises preparation stage. If the processed premises are non-residential (warehouse, garage, barn, etc.), first of all, you need to turn off the fire system, and then close all transoms and entrance doors. Even a small gap can significantly reduce the effectiveness of the procedure. If the premise is residential, for example a private house, then mattresses, carpets and clothes must be removed from it. It is also advisable to remove upholstered furniture or cover it with dense polyethylene covers. Pull drawers out of dressers, open cabinet doors and drawers wide open. After the object is ready for the fumigation procedure, all people and animals must leave it.
Processing stage. The person performing the role of the exterminator must take care of his safety: put on gloves and a gas mask (if there is no gas mask, then you can use a respirator and glasses that fit tightly to the face). For security purposes, a basin with water is installed in the center of the room. Carefully open the package, if there is one, place the smoke-bottle in the basin. It remains only to set fire to the checker from the cockroaches and quickly leave the object, tightly closing the door behind you. Depending on the size and type of the checker, it can smolder and smoke from 5 minutes to 2 hours. It will take another 2-3 hours for the insecticidal smoke to spread over all corners and dissipate a little. That is, after 4 hours after setting it on fire, you can start the cleaning phase. After setting fire to the sulfur smoke generator, it is better to keep the room closed for 2 days.
Cleaning phase. First of all, end-to-end ventilation of the object on which the procedure was carried out should be arranged. It is necessary to open all the doors and vents for 1-2 hours (after the sulfuric smoke, the ventilation lasts 2 days). Then you can begin to remove the corpses of cockroaches and perform wet cleaning using detergents. After all surfaces are washed, the disinsector and his clothes should be sanitized.

Following these recommendations will make the pest control procedure safe and as effective as possible.

Major mistakes.

Since smoke bombs are one of the most dangerous ways of baiting cockroaches, the person conducting the fumigation must know what mistakes should be avoided.

Use in tenement ladies. The use of smokers in high-rise buildings is strictly prohibited, since corrosive smoke can spread through the ventilation system and penetrate into neighboring apartments. This can lead to poisoning of neighbors, their children and pets.
Incorrect position when igniting the wick. If a smoke bomb is in the path of retreat, it can be accidentally knocked over after being activated. And while the exterminator is looking for her in the clouds of smoke in order to install it in place, he can swallow smoke (especially if he is in a respirator, and not in a gas mask). Therefore, before lighting the cigarette lighter, you need to stand between it and the door.
Rush. Sometimes people want to quickly finish the disinfestation procedure and do not keep the object closed for the allotted time (it is always written in the step-by-step instructions).The result of such a rush can be 2 unfavorable consequences: firstly, thick smoke will remain in the room, which can be poisoned; secondly, the effectiveness of the procedure will decrease.
Violation of the dosage. It is not for nothing that the instructions specify the area of the processed object for a certain type of smoke boxes. For example, an insecticidal checker designed to fumigate an object with an area of 200 m2 will be effective in a room with a size of 210 m2, but in large warehouses, one device will be of little use. That is, if the area of the room is, for example, 550 m2, then you should take 3 such checkers. But the dosage cannot be greatly exceeded - it is dangerous to health.

Cockroaches in the apartment are a common problem for many. The fight against them is carried out using various means, and not always effectively. But few people know about such a remedy as a smoke bomb from cockroaches.

This is a fairly effective insect control method, but little used compared to other insecticides. Perhaps, just few people know about him.

What are cockroach checkers?

What is the tool: description

A smoke bomb from insects is a tightly compressed cylinder with a wick. This tool seems to be non-standard, since few people use it. Hearing about smoke bombs from insects, many first of all remember about the fight against mosquitoes and midges while resting or fishing.

Smoke bombs are also effective for the destruction of insects in the house. Of course, provided the precautions are taken, they will not be hazardous to health. Combustion products of smoke bombs are hazard class 2, therefore, the rules must be observed when using them.

Operating principle

To start the action, the wick must be set on fire. Immediately after this, smoke begins to emit, destroying the insects. The smoke emitted by the checker is called finely dispersed. It contains tiny particles of insecticide, which makes it very effective.

One checker can destroy cockroaches on an area of 300 m2. Moreover, the death of parasites occurs immediately and simultaneously, while using a gel, aerosol or solution, it is necessary for the insect to come into contact with the substance.

The smoke from the checker penetrates everywhere, overtaking cockroaches everywhere. The poison can both enter the insect's body through the respiratory organs and through the chitinous cover.

Pros and cons: customer reviews

According to user reviews, smoke bombs have both good and bad sides.

The advantages of the tool:

a large amount of poison is released with the smoke,
simple use - you need to prepare the apartment, put the checker in action and then do the cleaning;
small costs; professional firms carry out pest control in about the same way;
the action of the poison persists for a long time, at least three days;
when processing, you do not need to look for cockroach nests; the smoke spreads itself everywhere, even to the most inaccessible places;
the insecticide in the smoke has a multifaceted effect - it penetrates both the respiratory organs and through the chitinous integuments of cockroaches;
repeated treatments are not needed - the parasites die immediately;
smoke bombs can be used in all types of premises.

Disadvantages of the product:

checkers emit acrid thick smoke that settles on all surfaces; the plaque will then have to be washed;
the unpleasant odor is very difficult to erode and may be present for several more days;
non-observance of precautions can cause poisoning in people;
It is impossible to control the processing process, the smoke penetrates everywhere, whether you need it or not.

Existing types of checkers

Hexachlorane based

Hexachloran is a pesticide poison. It is highly toxic to humans and animals, not just cockroaches.When burned, hexachlorane forms a poisonous compound that penetrates the insect's digestive system and paralyzes it. Cockroaches die quickly.

But, since the poison is very toxic, its use in residential premises is prohibited. Hexachloran has long been banned for use in the developed countries of the world.

Sulfur

Sulfur smoke bombs are often used in basements to fight mold and mildew. They are ineffective against cockroaches. Of course, you can try to defeat both mold and insects, but you don't need to expect a very large effect from this.

Permethrin

Permethrin checkers are considered the best in the fight against insects. Permethrin belongs to the group of pyrethroids. This is a contact insecticide, which, penetrating into the body of a cockroach, paralyzes its nervous system and causes death. Cats and dogs are also sensitive to permethrin, so care must be taken to ensure that they do not stay in the house during processing, and do not accidentally eat a dead cockroach. For humans, permethrin is relatively safe, of course, provided that precautions are taken.

Operating rules: instructions on how to use, store, safety measures

What you need to know before using

Before using a smoke bomb, you need to know that as soon as you set the wick on fire, acrid thick smoke immediately begins to stand out. It is necessary to take measures to ensure your own safety, as well as the surrounding people and animals.

You have 2 minutes to leave the premises!

Some types of checkers are provided specifically for residential premises (for example, Samuro), others can only be used outdoors. Read the instructions carefully before use.

Preparing to use the product

The concentration of poison in the smoke is deadly only for insects, but in humans and animals it can cause intoxication. Cats are especially sensitive to permethrin.

Before using the checker, you need to prepare the apartment.

It is necessary to remove all people from the house, especially children, animals, fish, plants.
Dishes, things, clothes, toys should be hermetically packed or removed.
Food is also taken away.
Disable fire detectors.
Wear protective clothing, goggles and a respirator.
Leave the apartment immediately after the smoke begins to emit.
On your return, first ventilate the room very well, then rinse everything thoroughly with water and soap and soda.

Advantages and disadvantages of smoke products

Many people who are faced with the problem of the appearance of cockroaches in the apartment prefer to use insecticidal smoke bombs. They have a high degree of effectiveness in the fight not only against cockroaches, but also bugs, ants and other crawling and flying insects. They can be purchased at any hardware store or market.

A smoke bomb is capable of generating a much larger amount of insecticidal substance than aerosol preparations.
The even distribution of the emitted insecticidal smoke contributes to a better treatment of the room. That makes it possible not to bother looking for insect habitats.
The insecticidal substance, together with the smoke, is able to penetrate into the most inaccessible places: any cracks and depressions, the treatment of which would be problematic with other methods. Active microparticles penetrate not only into cracks on walls or floors, but even into upholstered furniture fabric.
The caustic smoke emitted by the checker acts on insects by the contact method. Microparticles of poison that have settled on the chitinous shell of the cockroach penetrate through it, which causes the death of the insect.
The duration of action of the active substance released by a smoke bomb is several days. The aerosol microparticles settled on the surfaces collect the remaining or newly arrived insects on their paws. The poison that has penetrated into the body of the pest contributes to its destruction almost instantly.

But along with many advantages, a smoke bomb from cockroaches also has a number of disadvantages:

There is no possibility to control the degree of processing. As a result, both infected areas and those in which treatment is not desirable will be exposed to the insecticidal cloud with the same intensity.
After processing, for a long time, an insecticidal smell emitted by a smoke bomb will be felt, especially it is difficult to get rid of it for carpets and upholstered furniture.

Safety measures at work

Despite the fact that modern insecticides are relatively safe for humans, nevertheless, when working with insecticidal smoke bombs (as, indeed, when using any chemical insect repellent), it is important to follow certain safety rules.

In particular, first of all, it should be borne in mind that with prolonged inhalation of smoke, a person may develop poisoning. In addition, rare, but cases of the development of allergic reactions have been described when insecticidal aerosols get on the skin and in the respiratory tract.

Therefore, when working with a checker, the following safety rules must be observed:

Leave the room immediately after the smoke has steadily poured out of the checker, do not inhale it;
When airing the apartment, enter it, holding your breath, open the windows, and leave the room again for the duration of the airing;
All work should be carried out in clothes with long sleeves, and upon completion of all procedures, take a bath.

Despite the absence of open fire when the checker smolders, in order to avoid damage to the floor or furniture from heating, it is imperative to put the checker in a large metal dish, from which the product will definitely not fall out. It is advisable to put the vessel itself on a heat-resistant surface - a brick or a metal support.

Feedback
“I treat the cellar and the greenhouse from mold with sulfur bombs every year, but from my own experience I can say that they are useless from cockroaches in the apartment. It stinks of burning sulfur terribly, it is impossible to breathe, but by the evening we came across cockroaches, alive and well. Apparently they need something more destructive ... "
Alexey, St. Petersburg

Using a mosquito smoke bomb

The Quiet Evening tool allows you to free the area from mosquitoes in just 5 minutes. To protect against mosquitoes, it is necessary to treat the area 10–12 meters before finding people. The processing of open areas is carried out by installing a checker on a non-combustible surface, while the wind itself will spread clouds of smoke across the territory. In order to comply with safety precautions, avoid exposure of people to smoke.

Operating principle

If an insect hits the treated surface, then permethrin will penetrate the chitin into the pest's body, paralyzing it, which will lead to death. The smoke bomb burns for 5 minutes, this time is quite enough to clear mosquitoes from open areas up to 3 days, and closed ones - up to 2 weeks.

In order to destroy an entire population of mosquitoes, it is enough to use Silent Evening three times every 5 days:

after using the first checker, already adult mosquitoes die;
the second will kill newly hatched mosquitoes, as it increases the concentration of permethrin;
the third will do away with all the remaining individuals, since the mosquitoes will not have time to be born and multiply.

User reviews on mosquito control

I advise everyone to smoke bombs. Quiet evening! With them, last summer passed without annoying midges and mosquitoes. I disagree with what some say about the short effect of the remedy. We burned about 2 checkers a month and rested in peace. Until now, neighbors are asking for a name.

Valeria, Melitopol

We work in a closed pavilion where we sell seedlings. Due to the high humidity, they constantly suffered from midges and mosquitoes. Recently, the chief bought smoke bombs in bulk, we processed all the pavilions - all the pests disappeared and did not interfere with our work for a long time.

What to do if cockroaches don't leave

If, after using the checkers, cockroaches remain, then you can try:

Insecticide - Raptor

purchase another product, but of a different brand and manufacturer;
treat the rooms with aerosols (the advantage is that they quickly erode, you do not need to inform the neighbors without fail about the upcoming treatment);
outline all free surfaces with crayons, place traps;
apply freezing (increase the temperature);
purchase an ultrasonic repeller.

If none of the above helps, and the cockroaches remain even after the repeated use of the sulfuric checker, after the prescribed 2-3 weeks, they try to negotiate with the neighbors about the mass processing of the entire entrance or even at home by professional exterminators. Experts use drugs that are not commercially available, which means that cockroaches have not yet acquired resistance to them, and therefore the probability that insects will be expelled after general disinfestation is about 95%.

Important! Alternatively, you can try to carry out repairs in the apartment, changing the old wallpaper and sealing up all the cracks in which insects usually hide. Particular attention is paid to plumbing and the holes in the walls left after its installation. In the future, the homeowner will only have to maintain cleanliness after repairs and promptly poison insects that run from neighbors.
