Smoke bombs against insects: principle of operation and where is it best to use?

“Mukhoyar” is a modern version of an insecticidal smoke bomb that effectively copes with many types of flying insects.

It consists of the following components:

1. Permethrin is one of the main active ingredients; it is a well-known and very common insecticide today, which is used to destroy many types of pests and parasites. When they enter the body, an irreversible reaction occurs that affects the central nervous system, resulting in a malfunction and paralysis developing, which does not allow the performance of basic functions to maintain life and leads to subsequent death.
2. An oxidizing agent necessary for carrying out a number of chemical reactions when using this product.
3. A flame arrester that ensures the safety of using the product and does not allow a fire to occur in the treated area.
4. Talc, which acts as a filler.

The “Mukhoyar” product is capable of destroying the following types of insects, depending on the area being treated:

1. Different varieties of flies, if the area of ​​the room does not exceed 800 m³
2. Mosquitoes and other species of the mosquito family, if the area of ​​the room does not exceed 1000 m³
3. Wasps and hornets, if the area of ​​the room does not exceed 100-130 m³
4. Fleas, ticks and other types of crawling parasites, if the area of ​​the room does not exceed 800 m³

Instructions for use

It is allowed to use “Mukhoyar” in full accordance with the instructions that are attached to it upon purchase; deviation from the rules specified in it can lead to negative consequences and cause harm to health.

The steps to be taken are given below:

1. When all preparations for the procedure are completed, a jar of insecticide is placed in the center of the room to be treated. If it has a very large area, then several cans are distributed around the perimeter at the same distance from each other.
2. You need to start setting fire to the cans from the furthest one, while gradually moving towards the exit from the room to the street.
3. Setting fires must be carried out carefully, but at the same time as quickly as possible in order to promptly leave the room. It is necessary to have time to do this even before it is completely or partially smoked.
4. If the area of ​​the room is significantly smaller than that indicated in the instructions, then only part of the substance must be used. You can determine the correct dosage by dividing the indicated areas by ten and using about 10 grams for them. facilities.
5. If you had to use an incomplete jar, but a poured substance, then it must be placed on a stand made of metal, which is installed on a surface made of non-flammable types of material.
6. After lighting the insecticide and leaving the room, it will need to be tightly closed. If flying insects are being destroyed, then you need to keep it in this state for about an hour, if “Mukhoyar” is used to get rid of any crawling species, then the specified period is increased by at least three hours.
7. After the specified period has expired, the room can be opened and ventilated for an hour. If after this the smell of the checker has completely disappeared, then you can go inside without fear. However, if there is even the slightest residual odor, you must continue to ventilate, otherwise you may get poisoned.
8. When the smell has completely disappeared, a comprehensive wet cleaning will be required. To increase the level of safety, it is recommended to use solutions prepared with soap and soda.

Principle of operation

The operating principle of all smoke bombs is extremely simple:

1. After ignition, the checker begins to release thick, acrid smoke. It spreads evenly throughout the room or open area and penetrates into all spaces.
2. Microscopic particles of smoke settle on the body of the parasite and penetrate the body through the outer cover. The mosquito or other insect quickly dies.
3. Particles of poison settle on the surface and thereby protect against the appearance of new parasites.

Efficiency and action

The level of effectiveness of the checkers is very high and is comparable to that demonstrated by most aerosols. This is due to the fact that toxic substances enter the respiratory system of insects: if they can not touch the poisoned baits, then they will definitely not be able to not breathe.

Using "Mukhoyar" in accordance with all the rules set out in the instructions, you can get the following result:

1. Guaranteed and instant destruction of existing insects.
2. Providing long-term protection against the reappearance of such unwanted neighbors.

The operating principle of checkers, which determines such effectiveness, is as follows:

1. The spread of toxic smoke that insects inhale. The longer the product smolders, the more intense the release of poisonous substances becomes.
2. Toxic smoke penetrates into all crevices and secluded places where insects can hide, and into which it is impossible to get into for treatment by other means.
3. By the time a person returns to the room and opens it for further ventilation , all the insects will already be dead.

What insects are checkers used against?

Thanks to the ability of smoke to penetrate into the smallest cracks, complete destruction of pests is achieved. When treating greenhouses, toxic smoke can neutralize the soil layer from plant pests and pathogens where other pesticides are ineffective.

Using a smoke bomb in an apartment or how to convince neighbors: advice from the author

It was already noted above that using a smoke bomb in an apartment is possible only with prior agreement with the neighbors. However, in practice, people do not always understand what bedbugs are and what threat they pose, including to themselves. Therefore, there is a high probability of resistance on their part. To avoid an undesirable reaction and win over the residents of an apartment building to your side, negotiations should be carried out in the following sequence:

1. Tell your neighbors what trouble has befallen you. Feel free to describe the situation in all its colors and even more. Tell us about how each individual makes several bites per night, and about the fact that they multiply every day in geometric progression. Mention how difficult it is to breed them and how careful they are. After all, they go hunting only at night, when all the people in the house fall asleep. And they are incredibly difficult to detect. And if it succeeds, then it will be only a few individuals, but the rest will continue to live, drink your blood and reproduce.
2. Only after your interlocutor understands your problem, move on to the second point of the plan. Its purpose is to scare. Here you need to communicate that you won’t be around for long. And very soon there will be so many bedbugs that they will look for new sources of food. And they know how to do this very well. They get through any small cracks, ventilation ducts, microscopic gaps of tightly closed doors. And they crawl on any surface. Without much difficulty they can leave your apartment through the mosquito net on the window and go along the outer wall of the house to visit your neighbors for lunch.
3. At this stage, if you did everything correctly, the interlocutor should already be concerned about the problem and, together with you, look for ways to solve it. This is where you need to tell him about the effectiveness of the smoke bomb. And emphasize that you can only get rid of bedbugs by working together. Otherwise, the entire apartment building will soon turn into a large bedbug infestation.

It is clear that even such a conversation will not impress everyone. And you need to talk to representatives of all apartments in the building. And here there are 3 possible scenarios for the development of events:

• Ideally, all neighbors understand the importance of the problem and are willing to participate in bedbug control activities. In this case, a date is determined, smoke bombs are purchased, and at the appointed time, treatment begins in several apartments at once, vertically and horizontally adjacent to yours, so that the parasites have no escape routes. Residents of the remaining apartments have been notified of the event and precautionary measures.
• The neighbors do not want to participate in anything, but they are sympathetic to the problem. Tell them the date of the planned event, ask them to leave the apartment during this time, not forgetting about pets, and upon returning to ventilate the room well.
• Neighbors not only do not want to participate, but are also categorically against you getting rid of bedbugs in this way. In this case, you should not use a smoke bomb. It is better to seek help from the SES and solve the problem at the official level.

Reviews

Many people have already tried to use “Mukhoyar” to remove various insects; their opinions about this product and its effectiveness are given below:

1. Alexander: “I used various modern means for baiting insects, none of them let me down. All of them are good, but for use in certain conditions. For example, in a city apartment I removed bedbugs by spraying cold fog, in a country house I got rid of most pests using an aerosol, and to treat the barn and sheds I chose Mukhoyar smoke bombs. I had never used them before, so it was a kind of experiment that gave a positive result - the insects no longer bother me.”
2. Konstantin: “For a long time I was looking for an insect repellent that could solve several of my problems at once. In the end I decided to use Mukhoyar: I was attracted by its low price and versatility. To begin with, I tested it in the attic, where a surprise awaited me in the spring in the form of a wasp nest, which for a long time I could not figure out how to get rid of. Just one treatment and all the inhabitants of the hive died out, after which I used the checkers in the outbuildings, where they helped me remove flies and crawling insects, the names of which I do not know.”
3. Vyacheslav: “My two main problems at the dacha are the abundance of mosquitoes in the basement, where there is very high dampness, and wasps in the bathhouse extension. A neighbor recommended sulfur bombs, which he uses himself, but I didn’t particularly want to use them, because I had read reviews that spoke of the acrid smell and danger of their combustion products. I accidentally found out that there was a safer variation – “Mukhoyar” smoke bombs, after which I decided to use them. The effect completely satisfied me, all my unwanted neighbors were removed instantly and until they reappear, I’ll see how long the protection from them will last.”

Deadly Varnish

Sometimes summer residents have to fight not only with flies and mosquitoes, but also with the ubiquitous red ants, cockroaches and bedbugs, which still need to be reached. The insecticidal varnish “Mukhoyar” is perfect for treating fly and mosquito “aerodromes”, ant and cockroach paths and bedbug beds in small rooms. Insecticidal varnish is worn with a brush on insect paths

How to use

1. Pick up the varnish with a brush or cotton swab and go along all the routes of insects: along baseboards and pipes, behind furniture and carpets, under window sills, along window frames, joints, cracks and other hard-to-reach places.
2. To kill fleas, coat cracks in the floor and behind baseboards, as well as walls up to a height of 1 m.

Important : store the varnish in a cool place away from sources of fire and sunlight, away from medicines and food products.

Gas protection

You can protect yourself from toxic sulfur anhydride using a gas mask. A respirator and safety glasses can be used, but only if the treatment area is small and a maximum of two tablets is used.

As a rule, two people carry out the processing. One controls the process, and the other processes the room. If the floor in the greenhouse is wooden, you cannot place a saber with a wick on it. A basin or other objects are usually used for this.

You cannot be distracted by food or drink liquids during the process. There should be no children or animals nearby. Immediately after setting fire, a person must leave the room; being among the smoke is extremely dangerous. If several checkers are set on fire, they should be lit in such order that the handler moves towards the exit and has time to get out before the smoke starts to flow.
