It is sometimes completely impossible to fight a large number of cockroaches. The insects seem to come out of nowhere. After prolonged persecution, the colony begins to grow again.
There are different ways to escape the attack of incredibly dangerous parasites, but which one will be most effective.
Only now we are offering a profitable purchase of Combat Professional - special traps that are excellent at fighting cockroaches. Products from South Korea have repeatedly proven their effectiveness in cases where Russian insecticides were completely powerless.
Reviews of the Kombat trap
Containers with a gel base are the most effective preventative agents. When used together with other forms of insecticides, the room is cleared of pests in 2–4 weeks.
Last year we fought against cockroaches. We didn’t invent anything, we immediately went to the store and bought Kombat aerosol and traps. They poisoned, left the room closed for 2 hours, then ventilated, selectively washed, and put up traps. After 2 weeks we did not see a single live cockroach. Excellent tool!

Wonderful traps! They don’t smell like anything, you can stick them anywhere, they last a long time, they’re easy to peel off, and they don’t leave marks. We didn’t poison the cockroaches with anything beforehand, we just glued the Kombat traps. Within a month the insects disappeared.

How insecticides work
Insecticides are special substances that are used to combat harmful insects - cockroaches, ants, and so on. It’s unlikely that anyone would find it pleasant to be in the vicinity of such creatures, but it just so happens that a human home is the optimal place for cockroaches to live comfortably.
They especially love the kitchen: it’s warm, often humid, and there’s always something to eat—uncovered food, crumbs, pieces of food, drops of water in the sink.
If you let things take their course, before you know it, the red-haired family will grow to alarming proportions. It is possible and necessary to fight cockroaches, and this is where insecticides come in handy. These substances are made from pesticides and are divided into four groups depending on the method of exposure to the insect:
- intestinal (enters the body orally);
- contact (enter the body through the skin);
- systemic (absorbed by the plant, which then becomes lethal to the insect pest - common in agriculture);
- fumigants/respiratory insecticides (enter the body through the respiratory tract).
Precautionary measures
The manufacturer has taken care to produce “Kombat” anti-cockroach products, which are absolutely safe for humans. At the same time, working with chemicals requires compliance with basic safety measures:
- work with different forms of release only with gloves;
- compliance with hygiene rules after working with the drug: washing hands, using special disinfectants for the skin of the palms;
- storage of drugs in special places inaccessible to children and animals.
“Combat” is an effective means of maintaining comfort in your home, capable of making your home a real fortress, inaccessible to unwanted insects!
Operating principle
Combat is most often produced in the form of a spray. It is this form of release that gives the best results in the fight against pests. The product was developed in South Korea, today it is produced in huge quantities and sold all over the world. In our country, the drug is sold under license; it can be purchased at specialized points of sale or even just on the market.
The spray is produced using a number of innovative technologies and effective substances.
The spray consists of two active components: cyphenothrin and imiprotrin. These substances act on pests through muscle contact with it. In insects, the drug causes nerve paralysis, which leads to death.
Under the influence of Combat, pests lose spatial orientation and are unable to obtain and find food for themselves. Toxic substances are retained on the body covers of insects and on their legs, which leads to a chain reaction and mutual destruction of each other by pests.
It is worth noting that battalion commander products have several types, different in composition. But they all have the same operating principle.
The secret of the effectiveness of drugs
To understand why exactly Combat provides effective results, let’s look at the composition of the drugs. They are based on special combinations of chemical compounds called insecticides. Such substances are designed specifically to kill various insects.
The company's specialists were able to select a formula whose effect on insects occurs instantly. It is not destined to survive after meeting with “Kombat”. Any form leads to immediate absorption of the drug, after which the cockroaches are first paralyzed and then die.
Svetlana, Ryazan:
“I didn’t even understand where the cockroach came from in our house. But his appearance impressed the whole family! But I had no time for impressions, so I ran to find something to get rid of them. The hardware store recommended traps to me. I didn’t regret it! The dog sniffed, but showed no further interest. And we didn’t come across any more cockroaches!”
What to choose
When choosing an insecticide option and calculating the required amount of product, you need to take into account the degree of infestation of the apartment by insects and the area that needs to be treated.
The fastest effect is obtained by treating an apartment with a spray: aerosol insecticides almost immediately destroy most of all insects present in the house. But to get rid of the entire colony, it is safer to use gels and traps together with the spray. But to combat the cockroaches that come into the apartment from time to time, it is most profitable and convenient to use traps.
Despite the relatively low level of toxicity of Combat products, we must not forget about safety precautions, especially when working with aerosols. On the packaging of Combat products there are simple and clear instructions for use, which must be followed when using the drug.

Advantages and disadvantages
The appearance of cockroaches disrupts the smooth flow of life, they cause disgust and pose a threat, spreading infectious diseases. You want to get rid of them as quickly as possible, but you should approach the choice of poison responsibly. Only then will disinfestation be effective. Thus, each of the Kombat anti-cockroach products has its own advantages and disadvantages, understanding of which will allow you to achieve maximum effect during processing.
Aerosol
Combat in aerosol form has the following advantages:
- Convenient spraying. Unlike similar products, this one has a special attachment. Thanks to it, it is possible to achieve a thin, directed jet, which makes processing more precise.
- The result of the treatment is noticeable immediately.
- Additional disinfectant effect. Thus, the product destroys not only insects, but also carriers of infectious diseases that they can carry on themselves.
- Availability: The can can be purchased at any supermarket or hardware store.
- High efficiency combined with an affordable price.
Kombat aerosol also has disadvantages:
- During processing you will need special protective equipment.
- The effect of the aerosol is not as long-lasting as that of gel-like poisons; additional treatment may be required.
Traps
Main advantages of traps:
- High efficiency: the poison contained in the traps has a delayed effect. The infected individual, before dying, manages to poison the cockroaches that come into contact with it.
- Safety: traps are not toxic to mammals and do not have an unpleasant odor. The poison is contained inside a plastic container, which eliminates the possibility of accidental ingestion.
- Aesthetics: neat appearance allows you to use the product without disturbing the order in the room. And the Decor series traps are painted like laminate, which makes them invisible.
- Convenience: they can not only be laid out on the floor, but also glued to vertical surfaces thanks to a special adhesive square on the back side.
Kombat cockroach traps have their own disadvantages:
- The insects will not disappear immediately: it will take about a week before a chain reaction of infestations leads to a decrease in the population.
- High consumption. If there are a lot of cockroaches, a large number of traps will be needed to destroy them.
Gel
Gel, according to consumer reviews, is the most popular form when fighting insects. And that's why:
- Economical. On average, one tube is enough to treat an apartment.
- Efficiency. Cockroaches happily eat the gel and bring it on their antennae and legs to the colony, poisoning their relatives. The gel retains its properties for a long time in the open air; the surviving or newly hatched individuals have the opportunity to taste the “treat” left for them.
- Availability: the product is sold at any hardware store.
- Convenience. Thanks to the dispenser syringe and narrow spout, it is convenient to apply the gel to surfaces without getting your hands dirty.
- The product does not release toxic substances into the air, so it can be safely used in residential areas.
Among the disadvantages of the gel form, the lack of an immediate effect should be noted. You will have to wait a week, and possibly two, for the pests to completely disappear.
Analogs from the same manufacturer
The brand produces a fast-acting insecticidal aerosol, Combat. Does not contain an unpleasant odor, the maximum effect lasts for 2 hours, the effect of the poison is finally neutralized within a week. Kills mature and immature insects. After thorough disinsection, it is recommended to put up Kombat traps to consolidate the result and prevent re-infection. A bottle with a capacity of 500 ml costs around 350 rubles.
Analogs from other manufacturers
Products from domestic and imported manufacturers are available for sale. Traps are produced in the form of gels, containers, and disks. The active substance is an insecticide; additionally, flavors are used to attract the attention of cockroaches, food additives, and non-drying glue. On average, the action lasts for 2 months.
Effective drugs:
- Clean house;
- Forsyth;
- Raid;
- Raptor.
The universal remedy does not pose a danger to people or animals, but compliance with personal safety rules is required. You need to work with rubber gloves. If there are small children in the house, place Kombat traps in hard-to-reach places.
Gel
The poison, which has a gel consistency, has proven itself well. Combat gel achieves its goal through a combination of several insecticides that provide an effective effect on cockroaches and at the same time does not cause addiction to them.
Food baits in the gel are very tempting to insects. And thanks to preservatives, stabilizers and fat base, the gel retains its properties for up to 3 months after application.
The super gel Combat developed by the company’s specialists remains effective for 9 months from the date of application!
Galina, Ekaterinburg:
“We had a lot of events this summer. The most important thing is that my son went to college and went to the city. We decided to rent him an apartment. We looked, everything was fine, but I immediately saw: my son would have bad neighbors - cockroaches! We didn’t check in right away, we went to the supermarket. We bought the gel, although we had our doubts. It turned out that it was in vain: they did everything as it was written on the package and left the apartment for a few days. Then she did some general cleaning and moved the child in. Six months have passed and there is no one!”
Using Combat Gel is very convenient: it is packaged in small plastic containers similar to syringes. The resemblance to syringes is enhanced by the thin tip, which has practical purposes.
Thanks to this packaging, the gel can be applied to small crevices and other places that are inaccessible to the use of traps or aerosols.
There is no need to apply the substance in a continuous line. A dotted line, in which the gel line segments are separated by a distance of 2 cm, will be enough to achieve the goal.
You just need to be extremely careful that the applied gel is not accessible to a small child or pet, who can “taste” the substance!
Prevention of re-infestation by pests
It is recommended to follow the rules so that you don’t have to deal with pests again:
- Cleaning is done more often; if food falls, it must be removed immediately;
- install a mesh on the ventilation hole;
- cracks on the floor and ceiling are filled with mortar;
- a seal is fixed on the door frame, the gaps between it and the opening are also eliminated;
- water is not left freely available in the kitchen and bathroom;
- periodically use Combat Superbait cockroach traps to kill scouts;
- Food is not stored on tables, and dirty dishes are not stored in the sink.
Lack of access to water, leftover food and dirty dishes is the basis of prevention
Instructions for use
In case of minor contamination of the premises or for preventive purposes, place 3 traps per 10 square meters. m. area. If there are a large number of pests - 6 pieces. Remove the protective strip from the back side, glue it in places where insects are most concentrated, along the trajectory of their movement. Be sure to stick it near the trash can, washbasin, toilet, behind furniture, refrigerator, along baseboards.
On a note!
After 3 months, the Kombat discs are removed and replaced with new ones, if necessary. If the premises are heavily infested, to increase the effectiveness of the action, it is recommended to initially poison the insects with an aerosol or spray, then put up traps.
