The appearance of cockroaches in the house not only causes discomfort, but also threatens the spread of infections. Therefore, owners of apartments and private houses try to get rid of them quickly and effectively. In stores you can find a fairly wide variety of insect killers. But the use of some does not have the desired effect, while others require preparation. The drug “Clean House” for cockroaches has positive reviews. Consumers appreciated its effectiveness, convenience and versatility.
Aerosol
Aerosol “Clean House” is positioned as an instant action product. Consumers claim that cockroaches die literally within 3-5 minutes after contact with its particles.
The action is based on two main components (tetramethrin and cypermethrin), which have a nerve-paralytic effect on parasites. The chemical compounds that make up the product actively interact and complement each other. This explains the speed of action and effectiveness.
Buyers note that a standard can containing 600 ml of product successfully copes with the problem of insects on 80 m2. Also, for ease of use, each can is equipped with a special nozzle. It helps to treat hard-to-reach places.
Using the “Clean Home” aerosol is simple and not difficult. It is enough to spray it in possible insect habitats. Buyers note that the drug is effective and quickly copes with the problem. But its use requires mandatory ventilation of the room and its properties are somewhat inferior to powder.
Insecticide release forms
The “Clean House” product has several forms of release. Let's look at each of them in more detail.
Aerosol
Aerosol against cockroaches is considered a universal form of release. Thanks to its penetration into the smallest crevices, it can destroy entire colonies of parasites. The aerosol is produced in cylinders with special nozzles (volumes - 150 and 600 ml).
You will have to treat the areas where insects are most concentrated:
- Floors under furniture;
- Skirting boards;
- Walls behind furniture;
- The space behind/under the radiators, refrigerator, washbasin, sink, washing machine;
- Gaps and cracks in the floor and walls;
- Water risers;
- Pipes in the bathroom.
The “Clean House” aerosol is sprayed at a distance of 30 cm from the surface. The product does not leave streaks or marks, so it can be safely applied to upholstered furniture. In addition, it has an instant effect - cockroaches die in a few minutes.
Important! Do not use aerosol to treat clothes and children's toys!
Spray
Spray “Clean Home” is a product that is completely ready for use and does not leave stains or marks on soft surfaces. Suitable for chasing fleeing insects.
Gel
This form of insecticide has also worked well. The gel has a fairly thick consistency and is available in syringes of 20 and 35 grams. It is applied with dotted lines on previously prepared surfaces (both horizontal and vertical). This remedy is effective only when there are few cockroaches. With numerous colonies, it is more advisable to use more radical drugs.
The gel does not require eviction from the house and is suitable for those who have pets. Cockroaches poisoned by it die within 1-2 days. But that’s not even the main thing! The activity of the chemical components that make up the product lasts for several months. This means that any parasite that decides to encroach on your apartment is doomed to death.
Gel “Clean Home” is easy to use, has a long-lasting effect and is non-toxic for people and pets
Important! The Clean House gel contains a high concentration of poison, so working with it requires special care.
Traps
“Clean House” traps are a small box with holes through which insects can easily get in and out. The trap contains a poison that has a delayed effect. Having been inside the box, the cockroach spreads the insecticide on its legs and infects other individuals. This product is absolutely safe for pets. Firstly, they simply cannot get to the poison itself, and secondly, it has no odor.
The kit includes adhesive tape along with the trap, with which it can be placed vertically (for example, on the wall behind a cabinet or refrigerator).
Advice! Place traps in all cockroach habitats and change them every 2 months.
Instructions for using the aerosol
Before using the product, it is necessary to remove all products into sealed containers and out of reach. The treatment is carried out in the absence of children and pets. You can bring them into the house only after complete ventilation.
It is advisable to wear gloves and protect the respiratory tract with a bandage. It is recommended to spray the aerosol along the entire lower perimeter of the room. Gaps and ventilation channels require special attention.
After the procedure, you should close all windows and leave the house for 2-3 hours. Next, the room is ventilated, and the dead insects are swept into the trash bin. It is advisable to carry out wet cleaning using any cleaning products.
How to prevent cockroaches
To exterminate cockroaches, you should clear animal bowls of food.
It is easier to prevent the appearance of cockroaches than to get rid of them later. To protect your home from parasites, you need to follow some simple tips:
- keep kitchen appliances clean;
- eat in one room of the house;
- vacuum and wash floors regularly;
- treat surfaces with a disinfectant spray;
- before going to bed, empty the animal bowls of food residues;
- store food in airtight containers;
- use a trash can with a tight lid;
- take out the trash every day;
- keep taps, dishes, surfaces dry.
Although maintaining cleanliness requires effort and vigilance, the results are worth it.
Powder
The composition is almost identical to the aerosol. The difference lies in the release form and the greater concentration of chemical components. This is allowed. After all, the powder should not be sprayed. It also contains piperonyl butoxide, which significantly enhances its insecticidal properties.
However, it should be remembered that such a compound is dangerous not only for domestic animals, but also for humans. Therefore, accidental ingestion should be completely avoided.
Reviews show that the powder works well against small rodents in cellars and country houses. The scope of its application is quite wide, but requires caution.
How to use the powder
To get rid of cockroaches or other crawling parasites, you can use two methods.
- The powder is scattered in a thin layer along the “paths” and suspected insect habitats.
- Prepare a solution of water in a 1:1 ratio and use a sprayer to treat baseboards, cracks, back walls of furniture and other hidden places.
Exposure time is 2-4 hours. After this, wet cleaning must be carried out. The powder should not remain to avoid accidental poisoning.
Gel
Gel against cockroaches “Clean House” successfully fights against parasites. However, its effectiveness is lower than that of powder. But among the advantages, consumers highlight ease of use and safety. In addition, it can be used to prevent the appearance of insects.
If cockroaches have just appeared, then the best remedy is gel. It is applied along the baseboards, along the top of the kitchen unit. After contact with the drug, insects infect each other. Therefore, the effect is achieved after a few days.
The action is based on the fact that the gel lingers on the legs of cockroaches. The insect dies, but there is already a large amount of poison in its body. It is so arranged that relatives eat the dead insect and thereby also receive a portion of poison.
The product is supplied in tubes or syringes. This adds convenience when using it.

After treatment, I left the apartment for 3 hours. However, while washing off the effects of the aerosol from the furniture, I almost suffocated. The smell, of course, is not very pleasant. In addition, I developed a terrible allergic reaction in the form of a sore throat and nausea. Yes, there are no more bedbugs, but I don’t want to risk my health.”

And the neighbors just scattered the powder and that’s it. As a result, the bedbugs disappeared from both us and our neighbors.

To achieve a greater effect, it is recommended to use two means: for example, an aerosol and a dust.
