Man is making leaps and bounds in development, and what seemed fantastic just yesterday is now commonplace and ubiquitous. But there are things that do not change over the years, there are wars that people have been waging for centuries. One of them is the war against domestic parasites, insects that overwhelm us. Today we’ll talk about the Combat line of widely used insecticidal preparations. Bedbugs appeared on the territory of present-day Europe at the beginning of the 19th century, and with the development of shipping, their spread began en masse. The first mention of bedbugs dates back to 400 BC. also by Aristotle. Since 2007, the number of bedbugs in the United States has increased 10 times compared to the last century, and more than 80% of buildings are infested. In England, the number of disinsections per year has increased 25 times; the bug quickly adapts to insecticides and each new generation appears with innate immunity to one or another drug.
Description of the product
The manufacturer of the Combat line is Henkel (Korea), against bedbugs there are two products in the form of an aerosol - this is Combat Super Spray or its modification Combat Super Spray Plus, aimed at destroying crawling parasites, and Combat Multi Spray, a universal insecticide against flying and crawling insects.
The active substances in both are modern insecticides: in Combat Super Spray and Combat Super Spray Plus they are imiprotrin and cyphenothrin. Combat Multi Spray contains permethrin and tetramethrin, all elements belong to the contact intestinal method of exposure. Directly on the bug, the contact action, penetrating through the chitinous shell of the body, blocks transmission to the nerve endings, causing paralysis and subsequent death of the insect. Interesting fact: The bug most often chooses pillows as a home, which is why it received the definition in its name as “bed.”
Bedbugs thrive in any conditions, so the fact that they appear in a person’s home does not always indicate poor hygiene. Aerosols belong to hazard class 3 (little dangerous); Combat Super Spray and Combat Super Spray Plus will be most effective for directly combating bed bugs. Aerosols are produced in a volume of Combat Super Spray 500 ml and an average price of 200-250 rubles, the container is golden or yellow. Combat Multi Spray with a volume of 400 ml and a price of 150-180 rubles, red packaging. Combat Super Spray is quite economical and has a flexible nozzle for ease of use. The composition includes new generation insecticides from the peritroid group. The peculiarity of this group of substances is that they combine a strong effect on insects with low toxicity to humans and animals.
Reviews
Human reviews of the use of “Combat” against bedbugs are largely similar.
Users on the forums highlight a number of advantages:
- "Kombat" has a not too pungent odor.
- Easily evaporates during room ventilation.
- I’m not particularly picky about the temperature (it’s enough for the temperature in the building to be at least +10°C).
- Not very hazardous to health.
- In addition to its main function, it has antifungal and antibacterial effects.
- Easy to use (no need to, say, dilute it in water, like most insecticides).
There are also significant disadvantages that ruin the picture of the “ideal” spray (but discounting them would be hypocrisy):
- Ineffective against egg laying. Moreover, if a bug takes refuge in some, so to speak, “niche,” then it has a great chance of avoiding a fatal fate. Important: “Combat” opens well only when the jet hits the insect directly!
- After wet cleaning, all traces of spraying will become non-existent, as if it had never been done.
Preparing the premises
Before processing, clean and move all furniture away from the walls. Carry out mechanical treatment with a vacuum cleaner; you will partially destroy any bedbugs encountered, expose their nests, and generally determine the degree of infestation. Remove the bed linen and put it in the wash along with the curtains (+50°C kills both bedbugs and eggs). If treatment is not required inside the closets, place all clothes there. Place food and utensils in general in cabinets or pack them in plastic bags. The same should be done with cosmetics and personal hygiene items. Remove houseplants and cover the aquarium. Make sure that there are no people or pets in the room during treatment and subsequently until complete weathering. Remove carpets, paintings and all decorative elements from the walls. Disconnect the power supply from all devices located in the room being treated, turn off the power to sockets and switches.
Let's sum it up
Combat is a truly effective and fast-acting remedy that helps you get rid of parasites yourself at home. As reviews show from those who have already used the drug, it allows you to clean the room in one treatment. But you should always remember the safety of people and animals and adhere to safety measures.

Bedbug treatment areas
Bed bugs are not very active and come to feed mainly at night when we are sleeping. This means they will hide near our resting places and their feeding places. First of all, we disassemble the bed or sofa and process all the joints, seams, fastening elements, labels, etc. everything is thorough. The mattress has seams, zippers, and labels on all sides. We process bedside furniture, bedside tables, chest of drawers, etc. (on all sides and retractable elements). We process the back side of carpets and paintings. We treat areas under the window sill and heating panels; for preventive maintenance, treat ventilation shafts and entrance door frames. Gaps in the floor and baseboard around the perimeter, loose wallpaper joints. Review all electronics, sockets and switches.
How to use it correctly
Aerosols have a very big advantage: after purchase, they are immediately ready for use; no preparation of mixtures or solutions is required.
Ideally, apply the aerosol directly to the bedbugs, but everyone understands that this is simply impossible.
Therefore, it is necessary to treat the room and individual areas where their habitats are possible, these include:
- Most often they hide behind cabinets and under baseboards.
- Pay attention to the ceiling plinths and all corners;
- Door and window openings;
- Places behind radiators;
- Ventilation outlets;
- All furniture that is placed near the bed;
- Wall clocks, paintings, other decor.
Combat instructions for use
As when working with any insecticide, the use of personal protective equipment is mandatory. Safety glasses, rubber gloves, a respirator or protective mask and a change of clothes will not hurt you. During treatment, eating and smoking are prohibited. It is prohibited to treat minor children, pregnant or lactating women. Before use, shake for 30 seconds to mix the components into a homogeneous composition. Spray in places where insects are expected to accumulate, at a distance of 20 cm from the surface to be treated. Carry out the treatment with the windows open, after finishing the treatment, send the clothes to the wash, take a shower yourself and rinse your mouth. After 2 - 3 hours, you should ventilate the room until the smell disappears completely. Perform partial cleaning of the most contact surfaces with a soap solution. In case of contact with skin, wash the area with soap and water; if the spray gets into your eyes, rinse thoroughly with running water. If irritation occurs, consult a physician.

Trap
Insect traps Combat
The Combat trap is a small cardboard structure, inside of which the potent drug hydromethylnon is placed. The poison does not have an immediate effect on the parasite, which gives it the opportunity to convey the toxic composition to its fellows. In addition, the active agent used as bait is placed inside a cardboard container and does not pose a threat to the health of people and domestic animals.
Price
The product is not only affordable, but also economical. The volume of substance contained in the Combat SuperSpray+ aerosol can is 400 ml. This means that one aerosol is enough to treat a room of up to 50 square meters. The bottle has a reliable dispenser that controls the amount of substance released. In one second, when the sprayer is pressed, a gram of substance is released into the air. This is not much, but thanks to the flexibility of the nozzle, material consumption becomes even less and the aerosol lasts longer.
