Smoke bombs for cockroaches in the apartment and in the house, how to properly poison them with smoke?

Cockroaches are extremely tenacious insects. They adapt to any living conditions and reproduce at a catastrophic rate. The appearance of sewer cockroaches in an apartment or private house promises residents many problems. An unpleasant neighborhood is fraught with deterioration in the sanitary condition of the home, spoilage of food and the spread of dangerous diseases. In this case, only effective means will help. The method of poisoning cockroaches with gas has proven itself quite well.

No one is immune from the emergence of Prussians. They enter a person’s home through ventilation ducts, cracks, garbage chutes, with bags from stores, move into folds of clothing, etc.

Expert advice

Unsanitary premises constitute a special risk area. Be sure to remove crumbs from the table, take out the trash on time, do not leave food uncovered, wipe the sink dry and close the taps tightly.

Features of smoke bombs

They kill almost all insects that can be found in your home, even mosquitoes. Pests that inhale toxic smoke die within 24 hours. After ventilation, the housing is completely safe for people.

The properties and features of the use of smoke bombs are influenced by their composition.

The most common checkers consist of:

• Hexachlorane. Poison that paralyzes pests. Kills, in addition to cockroaches, many insects living in the ground and on plants. Only herbivorous mites do not react to it.
• Sulfur compounds. When burning, they transform into sulfur dioxide, which kills fungi and bacteria. The product destroys cockroaches, ants, fleas and other living creatures. This substance is in demand among livestock farmers.
• Bromide. It is a fungicide that kills bacteria and fungi. It is often used for disinsection of personal plots.
• Permethrin. This insecticide, which gets into the intestinal tract, causes paralysis of the nervous system in cockroaches.

Cockroach checkers are effective in hangars, warehouses, houses, cottages and other buildings.

Positive (advantageous) aspects of the procedure for such fumigation of the premises.

1. Good efficiency. After carrying out a set of measures, the probability of eliminating pests reaches 100%
2. High speed of obtaining results . The death of insects occurs already during the treatment session itself, which lasts no more than an hour (under standard conditions).
3. A clear preventive effect. If your neighbors also have a family of cockroaches living with them, and this is often the case, then the risk of the neighbor’s dependents “moving” to you tends to zero.
4. Favorable economic feasibility. Think about whether it’s worth spending money on buying weakly helping powders, tablets, gels, or purchasing a high-quality, but expensive device for smoking the bastards yourself. In addition, it needs to be stored somewhere later. And it’s not a fact that it will ever be needed again. It is much more logical to call specialists from the SES and pay only for the actual consumption of chemicals (for the actual volume of disinfestation emulsion concentrate used).
5. Amazing convenience - economic rationalism. Practice shows that during and after the production of a smoke screen there are no drops, stains or smudges left on pieces of furniture, walls, or wallpaper. There is no foreign, unpleasant odor or suffocating stench in the room. Pets, flowers, plants, books are not in danger!

Ways of penetration of cockroaches

Even if the house is in perfect order, cockroaches may periodically appear in it. This is not a surprise for residents of apartment buildings; everyone knows that there are practically no obstacles to migration for these ubiquitous insects.

In order to somehow prevent cockroaches from invading your apartment, you first need to understand how they get there.

Traditional sources of cockroaches and ways of their penetration:

• grocery stores and cafes located on the ground floors of apartment buildings;
• garbage chutes;
• ventilation ducts;
• interblock gaps.

Cockroaches can also come from apartments where baiting was carried out, or from the basement. The surviving insects migrate to a safer place and happily settle there. That is why it is recommended to periodically organize mass persecution of cockroaches. But this is extremely difficult to achieve.

Favorable conditions for cockroaches to live in residential premises:

• access to food and drink;
• a full trash can left overnight;
• wet sink;
• leaking faucet;
• comfortable temperature (cockroaches hate the cold);
• many nooks and crannies.

Prices for disinfection against cockroaches:

• Apartments
• Houses and cottages
• Travel outside the Moscow Ring Road

A clean room that is absolutely suitable for living means not only the absence of visible debris, but also the absence of unwanted neighbors. As a rule, cockroaches become such neighbors, which makes life very difficult for apartment and house owners. We recommend exterminating cockroaches as soon as the first signs of uninvited guests appear in the room. These insects are not only an external irritant that causes feelings of disgust and indignation, but also dangerous carriers of various diseases, such as salmonellosis, gastroenteritis, asthma and diphtheria. That is why treatment for cockroaches in Moscow is one of the most popular today.

Insects can appear for completely different reasons - accumulation of food in hard-to-reach places (under a cabinet in the kitchen or behind the stove), the presence of insects among neighbors. They can also even come into a clean room if the attic or basement was treated or when cockroaches were destroyed in the garbage chute by the management company. You can protect yourself from unexpected guests using barrier protection (specialized odorless and colorless gel).

How does cold fog disinfection against cockroaches occur?

Special prices for the destruction of cockroaches for legal entities.

Operating principle

Smoke bombs generate large volumes of smoke, which is a fine insecticidal aerosol. One bomb is capable of producing a much larger volume of poisonous puffs than several cans of conventional aerosol, Raptor or Dichlorvos.

The resulting smoke is evenly distributed throughout all the nooks and crannies of the room. The size of smoke particles is tens of microns, so they are able to penetrate into the thinnest cracks - under the baseboard, through furniture upholstery, etc.

Smoke bombs act quickly; cockroaches, having “swallowed” the smoke, quickly die. The poisons contained in it have a prolonged effect and simultaneously through contact, through the intestines and by fumigation.

Why is cold fog dangerous?

For ignorant people, disinfestation of insects with cold fog causes a strong association with the well-known ancient “Dichlorvos”. This is completely misleading!

The modern method of synthesizing synthetic pyrethroid molecules with a targeted nerve-paralytic effect aimed at killing cockroaches cannot be compared with the organophosphorus emulsion from the last century. Pyrethroids are complete analogues of natural peritrins. This is a group of plant insecticides that are produced by perennial cultivated plants of the Asteraceae family. A typical representative is Dalmatian chamomile. The beneficial disinfecting properties of chamomile have been known since the time of Alexander the Great. It is these asteraceous herbs that the described method owes its appearance, wide distribution and popularity.

However, you should not think that when treating an apartment with fog, you can be in it without protective equipment. The necessary precautions and safety measures should be observed at all times and everywhere.

Animals and domestic flora should be “evacuated” to an adjacent room for a while, and you yourself should put on respirators or gas masks. After completion of work, ventilation is required.

The harmlessness of this method is characterized by the fact that it is used when treating ventilation shafts, split air conditioning systems, as well as food warehouses and kitchens.

Advantages and disadvantages

Smoke bombs are an interesting alternative to conventional pest control products. And like any chemical product, along with its advantages, it also has a number of disadvantages.

Pros of smoke bombs:

• efficiency - smoke releases many toxic substances that kill insects;
• ease of use - no need to run around the house, spraying nooks and crannies or laying out poisons that are dangerous for dogs and cats;
• low cost - the effect is no worse than after professional treatment;
• the poison lasts for three days;
• smoke can seep into the thinnest cracks and nooks of the room;
• the poison penetrates the respiratory organs of insects and also seeps through their chitinous cover;
• no repeated treatments are required - cockroaches die immediately;
• applicable in almost any room, including very large ones;
• Compared to the services of professional exterminators, treatment is much cheaper (even if the most expensive exterminators are used).

Minuses:

• the smoke emitted by the bombs is very caustic and, settling on surfaces, leaves a residue, which then has to be washed off;
• the smell is difficult to remove after treatment, its presence is felt for several days;
• if you violate safety measures, you can provoke poisoning in people;
• it is impossible to control the treatment process; smoke spreads everywhere, regardless of the wishes of the homeowners.

What are the threats from cockroaches?

One species causes slight panic and a desire to remove insects as far as possible from the apartment and kitchen. They leave behind unpleasant traces of vital activity. The ability to crawl through even the narrowest cracks allows you to move around the house and climb into all food storage areas. The appearance of a longhorned beetle is a reason to think about complex treatment and choosing the most effective method for exterminating cockroaches.

Epidemiologist, Petrov Ivan Mikhailovich, 51 years old. Carriers of dangerous infections multiply quickly and adapt to poisons. That is why it is so difficult to fight them with ordinary folk remedies. Insects have long developed immunity to them. It only takes one run through food items to make them dangerous to eat.

Physiological features:

• peak activity occurs at night;
• they look for watering holes and often arrange them in shells where drops of water remain;
• unpretentiousness in food.

Often the destruction of cockroaches is accompanied by the purchase of all kinds of traps and crayons, but these are half measures. It’s easier to immediately call a professional team.

Types of checkers

There are checkers on the market that differ in their properties. They depend on what poison the products are made from. Depending on the ingredients, smoke bombs can be effective, useless, or even dangerous. Therefore, when buying them, pay attention to what the main component is in them.

Based on hexachlorane

Hexachlorane is a contact pesticide. It is a white or light brown powdery substance that is toxic to humans and animals. Penetrates the digestive system of cockroaches and paralyzes them. Death comes quickly.

The use of hexachlorane in residential areas is prohibited due to its severe toxicity. In developed countries of the world this substance has long been banned. If you see it as part of a smoke bomb, do not take it - it is strictly forbidden to use it in a residential area.

Hexachlorane, when affecting humans, causes:

• fainting and loss of consciousness;
• a sharp drop in blood pressure;
• convulsions;
• paresis.

Hexachlorane can provoke leukocytosis, decreased blood sugar levels, toxic damage to the kidneys and heart muscle, acute dermatitis and many other dangerous ailments.

Sulfur

Sulfur is a general purpose pesticide that is a contact fungicide. It is commonly used in agriculture to control insects. Approved for use in enclosed spaces.

Sulfur bombs are usually used to fumigate basements to kill mold and mildew. Sulfur has low toxicity and is not dangerous to humans, but one cannot count on greater effectiveness. Sulfur cockroaches are difficult to remove.

Sulfur provokes:

• eye and skin irritation;
• tracheobronchitis;
• laxative effect.

Permethrin

Permethrin is a poison that destroys various insects and is considered the best base for checkers. Once in the body, the toxic substance paralyzes and kills insects.

Permethrin is dangerous for pets. It is not dangerous to humans if you follow precautions.

Permethrin bombs have become widespread as an effective tool for controlling insects of various types, and can be used in:

• warehouses;
• catering premises;
• hotels;
• housing;
• zoos and pet stores;
• various public spaces;
• medical institutions.

Such bombs are especially effective in places where it is difficult to use sprayers - inside machines and units, on high-height structures, in lofts, etc.

Do I have cockroaches in my apartment?

There are always cockroaches in any house. Another question is whether they got into your apartment. Have you noticed how these insects like to run away when the lights turn on in the middle of the night? They love cold, moisture, darkness. When you turn on the light at night, insects scatter towards their habitat. Disinfection and treatment of cockroaches can become more difficult due to the inaccessibility of their places of existence in the apartment. Calling a cockroach extermination service is easier to resolve the issue. Service specialists use professional sprayers and insecticides. The fog generator allows you to treat all the cracks, places where insects hide: ventilation, sockets, between door baseboards. All surviving individuals will die in any case - the effect of the substance lasts for a long time.

Probable habitats of cockroaches:

• Kitchen, cool rooms;
• Bathroom, toilet;
• Sockets, doorways, cracks.

If disinfection is not carried out in time, the situation may become more complicated over time.

Insects leave their traces and larvae everywhere: in books, things, electronics. If you delay the moment of calling the cockroach extermination service, then the entire apartment or house can become their refuge. Even if you haven’t met them yet or have recently brought them out.

How to use checkers?

Smoke bombs may differ in their composition, volume, and area covered. However, the rules for using them are almost the same.

How to use a smoke bomb:

1. In the room where you plan to poison cockroaches, close all windows and doors tightly.
2. Remove all household members and pets while the poison is active.
3. Place all clothing, linen, dishes, toys, food and textiles in plastic bags. Cover anything that cannot be placed in a bag with film. Unpacked items will retain a specific odor for a long time.
4. Open all interior doors, as well as cabinet and nightstand doors. Move furniture away from the walls.
5. If your home has fire alarms, turn them off. Or cover it with tape, otherwise it will work.
6. Place a metal container - a basin or pan - in the center of the room.
7. Place the checker in the container. Light its fuse. As soon as smoke starts emitting, leave the room. Even if the product belongs to the class of low-toxic substances, breathing them is extremely dangerous.

There is a type of checkers - aquafumigators. There is no need to set them on fire; they begin to smoke after interacting with the aquatic environment.

Operating procedure

Before treating a room with smoke to attract cockroaches, you must:

• take all food out of the room;
• Pack tightly and, if possible, remove all dishes;
• hermetically pack personal belongings and clothing;
• carefully close all passages through which insects can leave the treated room and crawl to neighbors after activating cockroach checkers;
• Before treating cockroaches with gas, doors and windows must be tightly closed;
• place a smoke bomb in the center of the room, always inside a metal container - a bucket or frying pan to protect the floor;
• leave the room for 4–5 hours when it starts to smoke;
• ventilate the treated area for several hours, thoroughly wash all exposed surfaces with soap or soda.

After about two weeks, repeat the treatment to avoid the re-emergence of insects from eggs.

Precautionary measures

When marinating cockroaches with insecticidal gas, you must remember the following precautions:

• do not inhale insecticidal smoke, do not allow it to enter the lungs;
• leave the room as quickly as possible after throwing the token;
• place and light the pawn only in a metal container placed on a heat-resistant material;
• provide intensive ventilation and carry out wet cleaning.
• processing and cleaning of the premises must be carried out in closed clothing; After cleaning, take a shower.

How to ventilate the room after treatment?

Smoke will come from the bomb for about 5 minutes. Over the next 2-3 hours, smoke will spread throughout the living space, and the poison will settle on all surfaces, which is why it is so important to cover upholstered furniture with film.

After 2-3 hours the home needs to be ventilated:

1. Open windows and doors to create a strong draft. Windows must remain open for at least 2 hours.
2. Vacuum or broom any dead cockroaches. Throw them directly into the garbage disposal.
3. Wash the floors and wipe all open surfaces with damp cloths - window sills, cabinets, etc. For washing, use shampoo or other detergent.

There are products that, after using them, you can move in by simply doing a wet cleaning. But there are checkers, after which it is not recommended to enter the home for at least a day. For information about this, read the instructions for the drug. In any case, if possible, it is better to spend the night in another place.

Preparing for destruction

The room must be prepared before the procedure begins.

1. Be sure to remove all food! Flour, cereals, pasta can be taken out to the balcony, leaving them in bags. To prevent them from spoiling and becoming covered in dust, close the entire package tightly.
2. The dishes are covered with film.
3. After treating cockroaches, it is advisable to wash work surfaces and utensils with soap, water and soda. The solution will wash away any remaining chemicals.
4. General cleaning is carried out 2 weeks after the procedure, this ensures the destruction of the entire population, including the larvae.

Insects can survive without water for up to 1 week; open access to a watering hole will reduce all efforts to zero, so all sources must be shut off.

What else do you need to know about using smoke bombs?

Smoke bombs are still little known to the average consumer, so when using them, questions and even troubles may arise. In addition, checkers may differ in their application, intensity, toxicity and other properties.

Having purchased a saber of a particular brand, you need to individually familiarize yourself with the features of use. However, there are nuances that should be taken into account when using any product.

What to pay attention to when using smoke bombs:

• Smoke bombs have no effect on cockroach eggs. Therefore, the treatment will have to be repeated in about a couple of weeks, when the young animals hatch.
• Killing all the cockroaches “registered” in the apartment is not enough. Measures must be taken to prevent the entry of new insects. To prevent “illegal immigrants” from settling in the territory freed from competitors, glue traps should be placed or the perimeter of the housing should be outlined with chalk.
• Animals should not be left in the house during treatment. And let them eat cockroaches - alive, half-dead and dead. Cats and dogs are especially sensitive to checker toxins. After eating a cockroach, they can become poisoned, and the first symptom of intoxication is intense salivation.
• When settling on surfaces, smoke forms a thin film. Which remains in the cracks and everywhere where the rag did not reach during cleaning. Thanks to it, the house is protected from cockroaches for a long time (up to 3 months). This applies to the most powerful and effective checkers.
• A second treatment is not always required. If a product is used, after which a protective film remains, there is no need for repeated treatment - the hatched nymphs will carry the poison into their digestive tract with their paws.
• Prevent insects from escaping. Cockroaches, smelling smoke, may try to escape from the room through the ventilation shaft. To prevent this from happening, you should seal the escape routes with tape.

Professional disinfection

This is a very painstaking job of removing any pest from the premises. Traditional methods of control involve the expenditure of money and time, and professional treatment for cockroaches is a way to quickly restore peace to the family and the original appearance of a hotel or cafe.

An integrated approach allows you to achieve colossal damage to the cockroach population. Up to 90% of insects die in the first day! If necessary, a procedure will be carried out using colorless and odorless preparations; your neighbors will not even guess what was happening behind the wall.

All professional products are environmentally friendly. They have quality certificates that confirm safety for human life and health. Companies that monitor their reputation and care about the comfort of their customers provide guarantees on work for up to 1 year.

In exceptional cases, it happened that the cockroaches returned, then our specialists returned and re-treated the cockroaches.

Security measures

If used incorrectly, smoke bombs can cause intoxication in households. To prevent this from happening, precautions must be taken.

Safety regulations:

• When you put the saber into operation, do not inhale smoke vapors. Leave home as soon as possible. And when you open windows and doors for ventilation, do it as quickly as possible, holding your breath and trying not to breathe in the rooms. Before launching a checker and opening windows after processing, it is recommended to equip yourself appropriately. Wear a long-sleeved jacket, pants, gloves, and a mask or respirator over your face. After finishing the treatment, take a shower.
• Place the checker in a stable and large container. Tall and wide so it doesn't fall out. Do not leave checkers on the floor or furniture - they will definitely damage them.
• Warn your neighbors. It is important to understand that anti-cockroach checkers are more intended for homes. If you want to use a bomb in an apartment, you must coordinate your actions with your neighbors, to whom the smoke may reach.
• Don't forget about your health. Smoke insecticides should not be used in homes with asthmatics and allergy sufferers.
• Choose the location of the product carefully. When lighting a saber, turn off everything that could become a source of sparks. Install at a distance of at least 2 m from gas and electrical appliances. Do not use checkers in tight enclosed spaces, do not place them in cabinets, under tables or counters - an explosion may occur.
• Store unused checkers in a closed cabinet. So that children have no access to them.

It is not recommended to carry out processing without an assistant. If you light the fuse, do not leave the room in time, and inhale the poison fumes, you may lose consciousness. Therefore, we need a person at the exit - for safety net.

How to choose a company?

When a person first encounters a problem, he tries to cope with it on his own. If the problem is not solved, then it’s time to look for competent specialists. In your search, you should take into account several points that become decisive factors in making a decision:

1. What deadlines does the company meet?
2. How polite and clear the staff communicates.
3. What technologies and drugs are used to kill cockroaches.
4. Is there a guarantee for the work performed?
5. How quality are the services provided?
6. Be sure to read reviews from real clients who have already used the company’s services.
7. Do employees help when choosing services, how professionally do they present the company and their services.

Experienced specialists will help you forget about pests for a long time.

Reviews

The biggest advantage of smoke bombs that attracts consumers is their effectiveness and ease of use. Many owners of houses, cottages and other premises have already managed to evaluate their effect, leaving detailed and honest reviews.

Ekaterina L., Irkutsk region. The cockroaches were probably brought to the dacha from the city. There is no way to get them out of there. No, no, and one or two will slip through the ventilation. I decided to light “Quiet Evening”. Everyone fell. And cockroaches, and flies, and mosquitoes. Enough for the whole season.

Alexey O., Kirovo-Chepetsk. The cockroaches appeared suddenly, apparently they came running from the neighbors. A friend who works at the SES advised me to use the Fas checker. I did everything as written in the instructions, in a matter of minutes all the cockroaches, from small to large, were destroyed.

Nikolay L., Kovrov. They poisoned cockroaches with “Climate”. They smell terrible. They ventilated the house for a long time, but then they went to spend the night with relatives, because there was nothing to breathe. Cockroaches and mosquitoes died at lightning speed. The product is truly killer.

Insect smoke bombs are one of the most effective and convenient means for controlling cockroaches. To get the maximum effect from their use, you need to choose the right product, taking into account its features, properties and parameters.

Prevention

The destruction of cockroaches is impossible without prevention. Cleanliness in the room is the key to a peaceful existence without pests. But even regular general cleaning does not guarantee 100% protection from the Prussians. They take root perfectly in pieces of furniture, laying eggs in hollow legs, mattresses, and household appliances.

You should be careful when buying antique items. It is likely that a brood of cockroaches from the previous owners will be delivered along with the old gramophone. As soon as at least one cockroach is noticed in the apartment, it is necessary to get rid of it as quickly as possible.

We offer reasonable prices with a comprehensive and thorough approach to solving the client's problem. The qualifications and experience of our employees allow us to provide a long-term guarantee on our work, because we are confident in the high efficiency of our procedure for exterminating cockroaches. Thanks to an individual approach, you will receive a positive result, and we will receive positive feedback from the client.

Features of cold disinsection

Because the temperature of the sprayed product coincides with the ambient temperature, then its contact with textiles, polishing, household items, electronic equipment cannot cause damage, cause any swelling, cracking, wetting, or other unpleasant consequences.

The method of cold pickling of insects has a pronounced prolonged effect. Before finally settling, the gaseous cloud has a detrimental effect on arthropods and other neighboring pests for 3 to 5 hours. Microdroplets no larger than 20-30 microns penetrate deeply into their respiratory tract and cause death. But even after the dense, dense cloud of gas dissipates, its destructive influence does not stop. Due to the uniform distribution of poison along the vertical and horizontal planes of the home and interior items, not a single insect can avoid contact with the poison. If the cockroach does not die immediately on the spot, then it will definitely bring it to its shelter - a breeding ground for infection - and “share” it with its relatives. After which the efficiency of this type of disinfection will increase many times over!
