Gel Gel from cockroaches Proshka Brownie is produced in tubes and syringes of different capacities, used for household, professional disinfestation. If used correctly, you can get rid of Prusaks in a few days. Due to its convenient form of release, affordable price and effectiveness, the Brownie product is worthy of competition with insecticides from cockroaches.
Release form of the drug and its component composition
The drug "Proshka Brownie" is a gel-like agent sold in a 30-gram syringe. This amount is enough to process a small apartment. The nozzle of the syringe facilitates convenient application of the gel even in places with limited access.
The product contains a number of components that attract cockroaches, but repel pets. The gel has a bitter taste, which prevents it from being swallowed by a child if he finds a drug near the baseboard.
The active ingredient of the drug is fipronil. This insecticidal substance leads to paralysis and subsequent death of mustachioed parasites. Fipronil causes depression of the insect's respiratory functions, preventing air circulation in its respiratory organs.
In addition to the active ingredient, the gel contains the following components:
- bitrex, which gives the drug a bitter taste;
- attractants that attract insects;
- stabilizers;
- the presence of preservatives in the preparation allows it to maintain a fresh state for a long time;
- a gelling agent that gives the preparation the required consistency.
The preparation contains components that help to retain moisture and prevent the gel from drying out. This allows you to kill more cockroaches in one application.
Principle of operation, composition
The active ingredient is fipronil, the concentration of which is 0.05%, characterized by intestinal contact activity. The composition is supplemented with components:
- gelling agents;
- water;
- bitrex;
- preservatives;
- stabilizers;
- food attractants.
A cockroach attracted by food additives eats the poison. The poison penetrates through the chitinous cover, through the intestines. The active components begin to destroy the nervous system, which is manifested by the paralysis of the individual and death within a day. Due to the slow action, an infected cockroach brings poison to the nest, infects its relatives. According to the principle of a chain reaction, the entire domestic population dies.
On a note!
Mass death of insects begins 24-48 hours after the application of the Brownie from cockroaches. It will take up to 2 weeks for the total extermination of pests, since the drug does not have an ovicidal effect - it does not destroy eggs. And the maximum hatching time of larvae from ootheca is approximately 10 days.

Testimonials
In connection with my work, I often move from one city to another. Naturally, I find cockroaches in almost every new rented apartment. At first I used the most expensive products, and then I was advised to use Proshka Brownie gel. I tried it, the effect was no worse. Now, finding myself in a new place, the first thing I do is run to the store for this product. Anna
The child was resting in the camp. Upon arrival, cockroaches darted out of the bag with things. Naturally, we did not have time to catch them. I had never encountered this scourge before, I immediately went for an effective remedy. The store offered Brownie gel - I smeared it on pieces of paper, spread it around the kitchen. Nobody else saw the cockroaches. Julia
The Prussians appeared in the house. I asked my friends, read reviews on the Internet, and decided to opt for Proshka. Processed everything according to the instructions. A week later I stopped noticing the Prusaks. So at the moment, the impressions of the product are good. Let's see if they come back after a while. Alexander
Cockroaches tend to constantly explore new territories and multiply quickly. Therefore, they bother the tenants of multi-storey buildings so much: if they appear in one of the apartments, they will soon move to others. The fight against insects should be started as soon as you notice them. For the "confrontation" to be successful, it is better to use proven effective means.
Instructions for using the gel "Proshka Brownie"
After the preparatory activities are completed, you can start processing the room.
- Squeeze out the gel and apply it in small portions in the form of a dotted line on the surface next to the baseboards and in the places of the greatest accumulation of mustachioed parasites. The distance between the dotted lines should vary from 5 to 10 centimeters.
- Apply the product under the sink, next to the trash can and toilet, under the bathroom. It is also necessary to process the holes of the ventilation ducts.
- It is recommended to process both horizontal and vertical surfaces: door frames, walls and panels of a kitchen set.
- If the insect population is too large, then the gel is applied in a solid line.
- You can apply the product to small pieces of cardboard and place them under the refrigerator, stove, and table.
- As soon as the effectiveness of the gel decreases, you need to wash the apartment using warm water. Discard the cartons with used gel and apply another portion of the drug.
The action of the Proshka Brownie gel begins a couple of days after the treatment. During this period of time, cockroaches manage to return to their places of deployment and infect their relatives. As a result, this leads to the death of the entire population of Prusaks.
If necessary, you can re-process the apartment. But it is recommended to do this only after one month after the initial disinsection. This is due to the fact that the gel has an enteric - contact effect and retains its effectiveness for about 3 months.
In order to exterminate the entire population of cockroaches in the shortest possible time, you need to find and destroy their nest. Favorite places for insects to accumulate are cabinets, a stove, and the places behind and under it. If colonies of Prusaks are found, they can be poured with boiling water or vacuumed, and then the filters can be destroyed.
Application instructions
Application of gel from the Prussians
- The gel is squeezed out in small drops. Placed with a dotted line.One tube is enough to treat a room with an area of about 30 sq. The distance between the drops is about 4 cm.
- It is recommended to apply Brownie gel under the baseboards, near the trash can, under the sink, toilet bowl, on pipes, on the floor, on the back of furniture - all the places where the Prussians are hiding. For prophylaxis, it is applied to doorways, to the grill of the ventilation shaft. The thin tip of the syringe allows you to push the gel into the cracks under the floor, in the wall.
- Fipronil does not lose its properties within 2 weeks, for prevention, 2 treatments per month are enough. When destroying cockroaches, Brownie gel is placed as it is eaten.
In a house with small children, it is necessary to lay out the poison in places that are difficult for the child to reach: behind the refrigerator, stove, furniture.
Mechanism of action
The cockroach is attracted by the scent emanating from the gel and the insect tastes it. So the drug enters the insect's body, where its effect begins. The gel causes disturbances in the work of the Prusak's nervous system, which ultimately leads to paralysis and his death. Death does not occur immediately, but a day after the contact of the parasite with the poison.
The drug "Proshka" refers to insecticides with a low degree of toxicity, so it can be used not only for the treatment of residential premises, but also for medical and childcare facilities.
Preventive use
It is recommended to reapply the “Brownie” remedy for ants and Prusaks 2 months after the first treatment. This procedure is a preventive measure. It should be remembered that more frequent use can lead to addiction of cockroaches to the insecticide.
There are also a number of other insect repellents in the home on the market.
The main mechanism for applying the substance is similar to the primary treatment and should cover the entire possible habitat and movement of individuals.
Pros and cons of the gel
The widespread use of gel insecticides can be easily explained. They are very convenient to use, unlike many other drugs with a similar effect. Due to its creamy consistency, the product can be used on various surfaces: both horizontal and vertical.

If the locations of the colonies were not found, the agent is applied on the surfaces of the most popular places for cockroaches to visit:
- Along the perimeter of the door frame and window frames. In this case, the balcony door is also subject to processing;
- Wall and genital crevices;
- Surface behind the skirting board;
- The floor space behind the oversized furniture;
Chalk from cockroaches and ants destroys insects - Surfaces inside pedestals and cabinets;
- Downpipes at their bases;

About the drug
The drug is produced under the name "Brownie Proshka", but consumers tend to shorten it to "Brownie" and "Brownie". You can buy this effective tool that removes cockroaches with ants from the premises in household goods stores, on the Internet and in city markets.
Today, the trading network is filled with products similar to the drug in the presence of fipronil, the main substance that has a deadly effect on insects. These are helium forms "Fumitox" with "Taiga", "Arsenal" and others. It is worth noting that the beginning of the commercial production of medical pest control was laid by the analogue of "Brownie" in the late nineties of the last century.
In addition to fipronil, the gel contains components for retaining moisture, which makes it possible for it not to dry out for several hours after application. Thus, the exposure time of the agent increases, and not only adults, but also recently hatched larvae enter the affected area.
Correct use of the drug, according to the instructions, guarantees the death of the population within two days after its application in places of special vital activity of insects.
The manufacturer offers a choice of different packaging options:
- syringes (volume from 10 to 50 milliliters);
- tubes (from 50 to 150 milliliters);
- vials (50 to 200 milliliters);
- plastic buckets (from 0.5 to 3.5 liters) - for special disinsection services.
For domestic use, a syringe of 30 milliliters, which is about 30 grams of the substance, is quite sufficient. It is enough to handle a medium sized room.
