In addition to popular insecticides and acaricides in the form of sprays, dusts and solutions, smoke bombs are sometimes used. Bombs are considered a more effective way to kill pests compared to other forms of chemicals. Not the entire room is treated with conventional preparations, especially in hard-to-reach places. The same cannot be said about smoke bombs, because poisonous smoke penetrates even the smallest cracks.

Operating principle
The principle of operation is based on the effect of toxic smoke on insects, causing them to die. To use a checker, you don't need any special skills. The checker needs to be set on fire, and it will smolder, releasing smoke that fills the entire space, penetrates into all the cracks and secluded places, even through the upholstery of upholstered furniture. For greater efficiency, you need to close all the vents, windows and doors in the room.
Insecticidal bomb
Types of checkers
When a bomb smolders, toxic smoke is released, which affects insects differently, depending on the chemical in the composition. As a rule, checkers are divided according to the class and type of toxic substance:
- Sulfur. When burned, sulfur dioxide is formed. Since the composition also contains sulfur dioxide, it affects both insects and fungi and bacteria. Often used to treat basements where mold grows.
- Hexochlorane. Affects the nervous system of insects. Smoke with hexochlorane is considered the most effective. It tends to accumulate in the human body. Affects the fetus in the womb and can cause developmental disorders.
- Didecyldimethylammonium bromide. It affects gardening insects, therefore it is widely used in plots, in vegetable stores, and used for treating greenhouses.
- Permethrin. Affects the nervous system of insects, causing paralysis. Also effective against rodents. Warehouses, basements and other non-residential premises are treated with this smoke.
Using the Whirlwind checker
The active ingredient in the Vikhr checker is permethrin. In addition, the composition includes a thermal mixture consisting of fuel peat and ammonium nitrate. Externally, the drug is a brown powder. Destroys more than 30 species of various insects, including ticks, bedbugs, flies, mosquitoes, fleas and others. It has an intestinal-contact effect on parasites, the effect of use manifests itself quite quickly. When an insect enters the body, the poison affects the nervous system, causing paralysis and convulsions, and the insect quickly dies. Widely used for processing agricultural, utility and other domestic premises.
Checker Whirlwind
The advantages of the Whirlwind checker include the following:
- wide spectrum of action of the drug;
- rapid weathering, the premises can be used after two hours;
- high smoke penetration and, as a result, high efficiency;
- no corrosion of equipment in the premises;
- lack of special skills and training; any adult can use a saber;
- low toxicity to humans and animals.
Despite the relative safety of the Vortex for people and animals, it is necessary to leave the room during processing.
Smoke bomb Whirlwind (100 g): instructions for use and reviews
The Whirlwind smoke bomb is one of the highly effective modern products used for treating agricultural, domestic and other premises.
Checkers are used to disinfect, sanitize and deodorize objects for various purposes. Due to the high efficiency of smoke bombs, they can be used to destroy more than 30 species of insects and ectoparasites.
Chemical properties
The substances contained in the smoke bomb include permethrin. It is a product that has a contact-intestinal effect with a high rate of manifestation of the effect.
In addition to adult insects, the drug can also affect adults, larvae and eggs of insects. This will prevent the insects from reappearing after some time.
How does the product work?
Permethrin, which is part of the smoke emitted during smoldering bombs, has a high penetrating ability. This will eliminate mosquitoes, flies, lice, ticks and other parasites that hide in crevices and hard-to-reach places.
After penetration into the body, permethrin affects the peripheral and central nervous system of the insect. As a result, they develop paralysis, convulsions and rapid death. The poison enters the body through the respiratory tract and when the parasite’s body comes into contact with smoke.

Instructions for use
Instructions for using the Vikhr smoke bomb recommend placing the bomb in the center of the room and burning it. During the smoldering process of the thermal mixture, a smoke cloud will be released, which penetrates the cracks and spreads throughout the room.
To kill mosquitoes and flies, you should take 100 g of checkers to treat 650 m3. To fight ticks, 100 g of stick is enough to treat 40...60 m3.
Treatment of premises should be carried out with windows and doors tightly closed. After completion of treatment, the premises are ventilated for at least 30 minutes.
Precautionary measures
To protect yourself from smoke and permethrin poisoning, you should learn how to use Whirlwind smoke bombs.
While the checkers are smoldering, it is strictly forbidden to be in the room. You can go inside only after complete ventilation.

Security measures
When using smoke as a measure to combat insects, do not forget about the safety rules when using a checker.
- First of all, make sure that there are no people or animals in the room during processing (about two hours).
- After applying the insecticide, the room must be ventilated in accordance with the instructions so that the active substances disappear.
- To protect yourself from chemicals, use a respirator mask or gauze bandage.
- If there are things in the room that can absorb the smell of the drug, it is better to remove them or pack them in plastic bags.
- Please note that checkers are a fire hazard. It gets very hot during use, so it is better to use a fire-resistant plate on supports.
Fomor VET insectoacaricidal checker with cypermethrin (50g)

COMPOUND
Contains 5% cypermethrin as an active ingredient, and a thermo-sublimating mixture as excipients.
BIOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
The insectoacaricidal agent Fomor VET with cypermethrin is intended for the destruction of insects living in premises subject to veterinary supervision, including poultry farms, fur farms and other agricultural premises in the absence of animals and people.
