Domovoy gel against cockroaches - action, effectiveness, instructions, safety measures

Cockroaches are disgusting. They are carriers of infectious diseases; The very thought that insects crawled on food can suppress your appetite for a long time. It’s not surprising that you want to get rid of them as quickly as possible, but disinsection must be not only effective, but also safe. Therefore, gel-like insecticides, a find of the modern chemical industry, are the most popular. For example, the cockroach gel Proshka Domovoy can destroy cockroaches without disturbing the smooth flow of life: it is harmless to people.

Description of the product "Brownie"

A very important point when carrying out any disinfestation is to use effective means that will allow you to clean the room in one go. If the treatment does not give the desired result, the cockroaches lay eggs, which after some time develop into young individuals and a new infection occurs, which is why it is so important not to waste time. In addition, cockroaches are those insects that can get used to pesticides. In other words, incorrect treatment does not kill the insect, but rather hardens it, the body develops immunity to the poison and the subsequent use of insecticides with this active substance will not bring any results.
This brownie product allows you to get rid of any number of pests. It can be used as the main insecticide for disinfestation, and can also be used as an auxiliary one. During the development, the aspects of effectiveness, prolonged action and safety for those living in the apartment were taken into account.
The drug has a complex effect on Prussians, which significantly increases its effectiveness. A potent toxic chemical can penetrate the body not only through the intestines through eating food, but also through the chitinous membrane. In addition, by carrying the poison on itself, the cockroach infects its relatives.
A big advantage is the attractive aroma of the insecticide for cockroaches. They do not feel threatened by it and absorb it perfectly. And while walking around the premises or while eating, they manage to get dirty in the poison. Then they run to the colonies to their relatives, where the “treat” is passed on to others. Within 2 weeks, mass death of pests occurs.
The composition contains components that provide a prolonged effect after application to the surface. It retains its original properties for a long time. It is recommended to renew the applied product after 2 weeks, which will serve as excellent prevention.

Aerosol

A popular form of release for home use is an aerosol. The places where the largest concentration of individuals was noticed and the places where they are most likely to appear are processed. After the aerosol is applied to the surface, it is most effective for two hours, but the effect lasts up to two weeks.

The aerosol contains 2 active substances - cypermethrin and tetramethrin. This combination of insecticides provides high efficiency. In addition, the possibility of addiction to the insecticide is excluded. Available in a convenient spray bottle. Before applying the substance, the bottle must be shaken.

Treat baseboards, drainpipes, ventilation holes, back walls of furniture, under furniture. After the procedure, you must leave the room for about 2 hours, the windows must be closed. After returning, the apartment is well ventilated and wet cleaning is carried out in those places with which the person comes into contact.

The benefits include:

Convenient and easy to use;
Quite fast result;
Does not have an unpleasant odor;
Low price.

The aerosol has its own disadvantages, which include:

Toxicity, danger to people and animals;
The larvae remain untouched;
Has a short period of action.

If we talk about clean home aerosols, they are considered to be the fastest and most effective insecticides. By the way, aerosols from other manufacturers are also considered the most effective compared to other forms of release. Simple use also adds to its popularity, because immediately after purchase it is ready for use, and there is no need to prepare solutions and mixtures.

The procedure for treating a living space with an aerosol consists of several stages.

At the first stage, be sure to prepare the room; for this you need:

Sweep the apartment, remove all dust and cobwebs;
Move furniture away from the walls, remove all surfaces behind cabinets and the back walls of furniture;
Hide all dishes and kitchen utensils, close household appliances;
Hide food in the refrigerator, containers and bags that are hermetically sealed;
Wet cleaning of the entire apartment is carried out.

The aerosol must be applied to clean surfaces to prevent the substances from mixing with dust, which will significantly reduce effectiveness.

Be sure to follow safety precautions:

You can work with the drug only when using protective equipment.
It is necessary to wear a respirator, gloves and safety glasses, the body should be covered as much as possible with clothing.
Only the person performing the procedure should be in the room.
There should be no residents or pets in the apartment.
The drug is applied at a distance of 20 centimeters from the surface.
You are not allowed to smoke, eat or drink indoors during the procedure.

When processing, pay attention to the baseboards, since most often they make nests there. Pests choose hard-to-reach places to live; carefully inspect the furniture for cracks. Don’t forget to check the wallpaper for voids; if there are any, be sure to treat them

Also apply the aerosol on the walls behind the radiators, under the window sill, on the back walls of furniture, on ventilation grilles, pipes, corners in the bathroom and toilet, surfaces under washbasins and sinks. The aerosol can be applied to upholstered furniture, as the substance leaves no traces

Don't forget to check the wallpaper for voids; if there are any, be sure to treat them. Also apply the aerosol on the walls behind the radiators, under the window sill, on the back walls of furniture, on ventilation grilles, pipes, corners in the bathroom and toilet, surfaces under washbasins and sinks. The aerosol can be applied to upholstered furniture, as the substance leaves no traces.

As soon as the procedure is completed, it is necessary to remove protective equipment, wash your hands with soap, wash, change clothes and leave the room for 2 hours. Upon returning to the apartment, you need to ventilate it well and create a draft. Wet cleaning is also carried out using a soap solution. Cleaning must be done with gloves. Surfaces with which people and pets come into contact are cleaned.

Since the drug has no effect on the larvae, they remain untouched and after a while young individuals appear. It is recommended to re-treat after two weeks. Be sure to follow preventative measures.

Insecticide content

The Domovoy anti-cockroach substance contains special components that attract pests and repel pets. Even if a child accidentally tastes the substance, its bitter taste will not allow itself to be swallowed.

In addition to the main component, the gel has:

gelling agent;
component responsible for bitter taste;
stabilizer;
additives to increase shelf life.

The insecticide contains a special component that does not allow it to evaporate quickly. This allows you to kill not only adult insects, but also their young. The product must be applied for at least 30 days.

Additional Information

Experts from pest control services recommend using gels in combination with aerosols. This leads to great results. The aerosol preparation infects insects with almost lightning speed. After its use, the premises are ventilated, all surfaces are washed, and then a helium preparation is applied for the final blow to the surviving individuals.

This technique allows you to cope with large populations of parasites and has the best reviews among people who have tried it. Another important point that is worth considering when treating your home for cockroaches using Domovoy is compliance with safety measures. Still, it is an insecticide, although without the smell of a chemical, without a toxic effect on humans.

It is worth protecting your respiratory system with a mask when working with it, washing your hands well after use, and not applying the drug in places accessible to children and animals who can taste it.

Composition and release form

The development of the drug is modern, where the latest technological solutions were used. It has a fairly wide spectrum of action; it is used to combat cockroaches, bedbugs, fleas, and termites.

There are many insecticides on the market that are sold in the form of a concentrated emulsion, powder and other forms of release that require the preparation of a solution. In this case, we purchase a ready-made drug that can be used immediately after purchase. In addition, it is sold in a syringe package, which is very convenient to use.

The main active ingredient is fipronil, which is a potent pesticide. It can enter the body through the digestive tract and through the chitinous membrane. Once in the body, the poison affects the nervous system of the cockroach, first paralysis occurs, but soon the insect dies. It is not necessary for every parasite from the colony to eat the product or walk on it; it is enough that some individuals become infected with the poison and pass it on to other relatives.

The composition also contains preservatives that provide a long-lasting effect after application. There are flavors that are designed to attract the attention of Prussians with a pleasant aroma.

The substance is in a syringe and does not emit toxic fumes when applied. If you follow the instructions and follow safety measures, then it does not pose a danger to residents and animals. But you should always remember that this is a dangerous poison and if it enters the human or animal body it can cause serious consequences.

Mechanism of action on cockroaches

Fipronil is a contact-systemic insecticide that has a delayed destructive effect on cockroaches, bedbugs, and ants. When a toxic substance enters the insect’s digestive tract, it blocks the transmission of nerve impulses, which causes paralysis 8 hours after consumption and completely immobilizes the pest. After 24 hours, the insect dies.

When a cockroach comes into contact with the gel, the particles remain on the legs and chitinous shell of the insect. This contributes to the spread of the toxic substance between other individuals of the colony, and thereby causes their mass death.

Attention! The maximum result of disinfection occurs after 6-8 days. The residual effect of Domovoy lasts for 1.5 months.

How to use it correctly

The maximum effect can only be achieved if the room is properly treated.

Before applying the insecticide, you need to prepare the surfaces, for this you need:

We will need to move the furniture away from the walls, this way we will gain access to the back walls and baseboards, and nests are most often located in these places.
Gently remove dishes and food items from the kitchen, preferably hidden in sealed bags, containers, or refrigerator. If there is pet food, it is better to take it out during processing.
We sweep absolutely the entire area, get rid of dust, cobwebs and do wet cleaning. You will need to thoroughly clean the surfaces from grease and other contaminants.
It is advisable to cover the ventilation holes with gauze so that the parasites do not run away among the neighbors; this way you can get rid of them for a while, but rest assured that the fugitives will return back sooner or later.
All residents leave the apartment, and there should be no animals.

In cases where the apartment is heavily contaminated, dismantling of furniture and kitchen cabinets will be required. The fact is that clutches of eggs are located in places where people simply cannot reach them. These could be cracks, gaps in furniture and other hiding places.

The gel must be applied to a clean surface and it must be dry. Eliminate all water leaks in the apartment, since this is an ideal environment for cockroaches; they cannot live without it for a long time. It is advisable to seal all the cracks in the apartment. Ideally, before treatment, detect the nests of parasites, where their greatest concentration is. If they are found, they are poured with boiling water and collected using a vacuum cleaner.

It should be applied to both horizontal and vertical surfaces, baseboards, cabinet walls, pipes, ventilation, radiators, under sinks and washbasins. You can also use another method: take small pieces of paper, apply a small amount of the drug on them and put them, for example, under the refrigerator, over a gas stove, on a cabinet and in other places.

It will take about 3 hours for the substances to act on the insect, but the results will be noticeable within a week. It is recommended to repeat the procedure to achieve maximum effect and as a preventative measure. To do this, you need to get rid of the remnants of the previously applied insecticide and apply a new one, but in a smaller quantity. Remember that parasites can get used to poisons, so after 2 times using the brownie, the insecticide should be replaced.

Preventive actions

Remember that after each disinsection, prevention is necessary so that the premises are not attacked by insects again. Wash dishes regularly and throw away trash.

Do not leave food residues or crumbs on the surface. After washing dishes, dry the sink. Carry out wet cleaning more often. Use folk remedies and traps.

Other types of the drug

The drug “Proshka Domovoy” is also produced and sold in the form of chalk. For its production, instead of fipronil, an insecticidal substance such as deltamethrin is used. It has a contact effect. Draw chalk lines where insects most often and in large numbers accumulate. One package can cover a surface area of about 30 m².

Chalk is more dangerous for humans than a similar product in the form of a gel. As practice shows, its effectiveness is much lower than that of a gel-like insecticide.

Proshka Domovoy chalk will not help clear your apartment from hordes of mustachioed invaders. However, it is very convenient to use as a preventative measure; it can easily destroy a small population of Prussians.

Also, the preparation of this line of insecticidal products is produced by manufacturers in the form of a trap. It is a small plastic box, inside of which a poisonous bait is placed. This avoids human contact with the insecticide.

Cockroaches are attracted to the fragrant bait, and they go inside the house in search of a treat. Here they not only eat the poisoned bait, but also carry its particles on their paws and bodies to the locations of the Prussians.

Traps are also best used as a preventive measure or as an addition to other drugs.

When starting a conversation about domestic “runners,” one cannot fail to mention their ability to adapt to any poisons. Getting these parasites out of your apartment is very difficult. Their body develops immunity to certain chemicals, which is not only inherited, but also constantly improved. It is for this reason that many “grandmother’s” tips in the fight against cockroaches do not give the expected result.

Instructions for use

Before applying the gel, it is recommended to find the places where arthropod pests are hiding. Chitinous cover, ootheca and excrement are removed from the room. Longhorn beetles use cracks in floor coverings or between tiles, and the space behind pieces of furniture as shelter. To remove them, use a vacuum cleaner or boiling water.

The instructions for the brownie are studied before use. This document contains the main points. After this, perform the following steps:

Before using the gel, it is necessary to carry out a thorough cleaning of all rooms. To clean surfaces, use warm water with vinegar or essential oil.
Products are packaged in thick polyethylene or food containers to prevent arthropod pests from reaching them.
It is better to apply the gel dotted or in the form of a dotted line. The distance between the points is from 5 to 10 cm. The composition is applied around the pipeline, sink and bathtub. Additionally, kitchen cabinets and baseboards are treated.
If a large colony has settled in the house, then the gel is applied only in a solid line. As soon as the gel begins to dry, its remains are removed and a new layer is applied.

The period of action of the active substance is from 1.5 to 2 months. Manufacturers recommend applying the composition no more than 2 times in order to prevent insects from becoming accustomed to the components.

Terms of use

Before starting disinfestation, it is advisable to familiarize yourself with the proposed recommendations.
Detailed instructions are always included with the gel and help to carry out the procedure with achieving good results in killing insects. Here are the basic principles for using the Domovoy gel:

Before you buy a product, make sure it has not expired. It is difficult to expect amazing success from an expired drug.
To apply it, select places in the room where cockroaches accumulate or actively move. Perhaps these are the ways they move towards food scraps, secluded corners in the kitchen, bathroom, toilet. Drawers of tables and cabinets, bookshelves - do not leave anything unattended.
The method of distributing the drug over surfaces is dotted. Squeeze the drops out of the tube at a distance of 5 centimeters from each other, and if there are an abundance of individuals, at a distance of 2 centimeters.
The period of active insecticidal action of the drug lasts three to four weeks, after which it is possible to re-apply the gel to these or other places.
It is not necessary to squeeze the product directly onto surfaces that will subsequently have to be washed. It is better to distribute it over strips of paper, place them in the desired areas of the apartment, and then remove it without wasting time on post-disinfestation cleaning of the home.
It is necessary to preserve the applied gel for up to a month, since the extermination of the population occurs in stages. First, adult cockroaches and ants die, and then their larvae, hatched from already laid eggs. Early cleaning of the premises can only lead to partial elimination of insects with the restoration of their numbers due to the new generation.

Advantages and disadvantages

The benefits include:

Definitely effective and possible to get rid of large colonies of cockroaches without the help of specialists.
Convenient release form, no need to spend time preparing a solution, as in the case of powder, very easy to apply.
Thanks to the gel consistency, pesticides do not enter the air.
You can get rid of not only cockroaches, but also ants and other pests.
Low cost.
Long lasting.

Flaws:

May leave stains on the surface.
Larger spaces will require multiple packs.

Security measures

Insect control gel Domovoy

Domovoy cockroach repellent contains bitter ingredients that prevent pets from eating the poison. Even if the poison gets into the stomach, the drug does not provoke serious consequences, since the dosage is extremely small. The first day there is weakness, apathy, increased salivation, and lack of appetite.

It is recommended that a person protect his hands with rubber gloves when working with the drug. When it comes into contact with the skin, Domovoy gel causes irritation and provokes an allergic reaction.

I couldn’t even think that this problem would affect my home, but it just so happened that I had to fight these mustachioed parasites. I ran to the store and the salesman recommended Domovoy gel. When I got home, I cleaned up, treated the apartment and just waited for the results. The little brownie began to please just a day later; I saw several dead parasites. Then, I really started to worry, because I continued to meet them running around the kitchen. But after two weeks everything stopped, I didn’t see anyone alive anymore. A month later, I washed off all the poison; I didn’t apply it a second time, but I did use traps.

Olga, 29

The following situation happened to me. We had Prussians, while there were very few of them, my mother tried to get rid of them with all sorts of folk recipes, as you can understand, precious time wasted, the cockroaches multiplied and it already seemed that millions of barbels were running around the kitchen. She took the situation into her own hands, sent her mother and children to the dacha, and sent her off to look for poison. I knew about Domovoy for a long time, because a friend used it and was satisfied, but in this situation I didn’t want to limit myself to just gel, I wanted to deal with them once and for all. I bought an extra aerosol. I used the drugs together, of course, I spent time and effort, but I’m happy with the result. My family returned to a clean apartment.

Sergey, 38

The drug Domovoy did not help us at all. Firstly, I will say that it is very difficult to treat a 3-room apartment; you need several syringes. Secondly, I noticed that some parasites avoided the gel; the smell did not attract them; on the contrary, it seemed to me that it repelled them. Thirdly, having waited two weeks for the effect, I wasted a lot of time and all I got was even more Prussians. But in the end, I had to wash out the gel, which left stains. Not happy and don't recommend.

Reviews

Having rented an apartment in a quiet area, we did not think that we would encounter such a problem as cockroaches. We didn't notice them during our inspection. But already on the second day after moving in, we got to know them closely. To fight, we decided to use the Domovoy Proshka gel, tested by our friends. We were able to assess the degree of its effect after just 2 weeks of use. We applied the composition in accordance with the manufacturers' recommendations. After 2 days, dead longhorned beetles began to be found in the kitchen and bathroom. It took us about 3 weeks to exterminate the entire colony, since there were a lot of pests.
Sergey, Taganrog

Brownie is an excellent remedy. You can buy it in any store, it is inexpensive, but it works quickly. Within a day after applying the gel, I began to find corpses in the kitchen. More and more, after a week I almost swept up a whole dustpan. After this, the mortality rate began to decline. A month later I didn’t see a single cockroach, but just in case I cleaned the kitchen again. That's it, Domovoy and I got rid of the cockroaches.
Lera, Moscow

The child was resting in the camp. Upon arrival, cockroaches scuttled out of the bag with things. Naturally, we didn’t have time to catch them. I had never encountered this scourge before, so I immediately went looking for an effective remedy. The store offered Domova gel - I smeared it on pieces of paper and spread it around the kitchen. No one ever saw the cockroaches again.

Efficiency

Proshka Domovoy anti-cockroach gel

The result is instant. Cockroaches die in a matter of days. Certified poison. Our production is Dezprom. Easy to apply, no smell. Helped me get rid of cockroaches in 2 weeks. It takes people years to do this. Costs pennies compared to similar products. But there are disadvantages - it damages the furniture. The yellow color remains after the drops. I do not recommend applying it to the refrigerator, stove, or white tiles.

The cockroach repellent Domovenok helped me a lot. I rented an apartment. At first I didn’t notice anyone or anything. Then I saw a cockroach on the kitchen table. Just creepy. At the market I was advised to use Domovenok gel. I was very pleased with the price. I don’t really want to spend a fortune on these bastards. At night I applied it in a strip on the stove, near the radiator, walked along the baseboards, and on the table lintel. In the morning there were already dead ones lying around. After 2 weeks the gel dried out, I removed it with a knife. I applied it again. I lived like this for six months, and I never came across them alive again.

An effective drug for cockroaches, affordable price, easy to use - cannot be compared with folk remedies. I was pleased with the result. The cockroaches were exterminated within 3 weeks. I didn't find any shortcomings. I recommend to everyone. It doesn't smell like anything. The cat lives at home, feels great, and has not been poisoned. I approached the poison several times. He sniffs and moves away. You can safely use it.

The product Proshka Domovoy occupies a leading place in sales among similar products. The gel has repeatedly confirmed its effectiveness and collects positive reviews on forums.

Preparing the premises

Before applying the gel, it is recommended to perform general cleaning. This is done with the aim of destroying other food attractive to cockroaches. If cleaning is not done, insects will pass by the gel-like poison. As a result, it will not be possible to destroy pests. In addition, cleaning will make it possible to calculate their habitats, guided by the black spots of excrement. Basic measures:

Clean the floors, especially near the baseboards.
The tables are cleared of food and crumbs.
The area under the sink also needs to be wiped. The trash can is disinfected, and garbage should not be stored indoors for long during the entire period of action of the drug.
Shutting off water sources:
containers with liquids are covered with lids;
The bathtub and sink, as well as the sink, are wiped dry before going to bed.
To prevent cockroaches from escaping, you need to close their escape routes: fill cracks in the floor, walls, joints between pipes and concrete floors. The ventilation duct is covered with a fine-mesh grille.

To be able to apply the gel in remote places, you need to move the furniture away from the walls. Cabinets must be empty. The contents are removed, all containers and products can be left in the same room, but they should be sealed. This measure allows you to close access to any food.
