The presence of cockroaches in the house brings not only moral discomfort. These arthropod pests actively spread infectious diseases, bacteria and harmful microorganisms throughout the premises. Insects spoil food left on the table or contaminate it with excrement. Therefore, those people who have discovered chitinous cover or met cockroaches in person try to get rid of them. And often for these purposes they use the great warrior gel against cockroaches, since this remedy has many positive responses.
Types of funds
It is possible to divide gels into different categories if you subdivide them based on packaging and the active ingredient in the base.
Fipronil is the most effective among all other substances. The development of this insecticide took place to combat insects that are particularly resistant to insecticides and other types of synthetic composition. At this time, the ingredients are unknown to populations of cockroaches that have developed resistance to fipronil.
Preparations based on organic phosphorus, that is, neonicotinoids and pyrethroids, are often no less effective. If the situation cannot be called neglected, and insects have not adapted to various means, the effectiveness of the gels is quite high.
The gel is produced in the form of tubes or syringes. The second option is the most convenient, since the product is squeezed out without using extra effort. This is not very convenient compared to a syringe, and drops of the substance will still remain.
Differences between gels can vary widely, and price does not always have a direct impact on effectiveness.
Next, we will present the most popular and well-known products in the form of gels, which have reliably saved premises from cockroaches for many years.
Insecticide "Global"
The German-made gel has an attractive chocolate smell. Based on the toxic properties of chlorpyrifos. "Global" remains active for 4 months. Affects the efficiency of transmission of nerve impulses in insects, as a result of which ants lose the ability to orient themselves in space.
Then strips of paper, cardboard, and plastic are cut 1.5-2 cm wide and 10-15 cm long. The composition is applied to the blanks in a thin layer and placed on areas where ants are likely to accumulate, along their migration routes around the apartment.
After two weeks, the treatment with Global is repeated. The packaging of the product is enough to treat 60 square meters of housing.
The ratio of the toxic substance is designed to affect the body of an insect, so there will be no harm from the Global gel to humans or animals if the product is used according to the instructions. The composition is also effective against cockroaches.
How to use
Instructions for use of the Great Warrior gel:
- Before treatment, it is recommended to clean the apartment and deprive cockroaches of sources of other food and water.
- Carry out the procedure with rubber gloves.
- One 45 g syringe covers approximately 10 square meters. m (50 mg/m²).
- The gel is applied in dotted lines of 2 cm at intervals of 5-6 cm. If the room is heavily infested, the intervals are reduced. For ease of disposal, the product is applied to cardboard substrates.
- Favorite places where insects accumulate are subject to treatment: the area near plumbing fixtures, trash cans, water and sewer pipes, baseboards, cracks.
- When finished, wash your hands and throw away the empty container. It is strictly forbidden to dispose of drug residues in wastewater.
If the drug gets on the skin, remove it with a swab soaked in a soda solution. If the insecticide gets into your eyes, rinse them with water, drip sodium sulfacite or novocaine solution. If it gets into the stomach, drink activated charcoal and call a doctor.
Chalk: action, method of application
Presented in the form of a chalk, Rubit has proven its effectiveness in the fight against insects crawling indoors and outdoors. The active substance, deltamethrin, is poisonous. The toxic component has a negative effect on the nervous system of cockroaches, as a result of which they die. Advantages:
- long protective period;
- easy to apply;
- low cost.
Disadvantages include low efficiency in case of severe infection and unaesthetic appearance after application.
Chalk
The drug is produced in the form of chalk, packaged in 25 g. In addition to deltamethrin, it contains additional substances - alabaster, chalk and surfactants (surfactants). The action begins gradually. Crossing the chalk line, the poison enters the body. An infected cockroach passes the insecticide to its fellow cockroaches, who subsequently die.
Part of the chalk is removed from the packaging and lines are applied in places where cockroaches often live: near water pipes, along baseboards, at the joints of tiles, under the sink. Instructions for use of the drug are attached to the package. It must be strictly adhered to. For processing an area of 20 - 30 square meters. m. one package is enough. It is recommended to carry out processing with rubber gloves.
An analogue is the Mashenka chalk.
Gel Trap
“Trap Assault” - this is the full name of this product, it contains basic substances belonging to different classes:
- Diazinon (0.3%) is an organophosphorus type compound;
- Alpha-cypermethrin (0.05%) is a pyrethroid.
Achieving increased efficiency occurs due to the complex composition. As a result of use, poisoning occurs in cockroaches, even those that are resistant to cypermethrin and diazinon. The opposite phenomenon is also observed.
The Gel in form is sold in small tubes of 30, 50, 75 g. The cost of a 30 g tube is approximately 50 rubles. An incomplete analogue is Arsenal gel with the active ingredient exclusively diazinon.
Conditions of existence - distribution of roles
At first, the area of the settlement does not exceed a couple of square centimeters, being located in books, under the floor or wallpaper, behind kitchen wall cabinets.
Subgroups of insects in one nesting site have specializations.
Every day, working representatives of the group leave their nests to search for food. The rest are obliged to constantly look after the “head” of the ant genus – the queen ant.
A clear distribution of roles allows the colony to live and reproduce for up to 15 years.
Pharaoh ants are omnivores. The food can be crumbs, plant and animal products, rotting organic matter and even other insects.
Gel Combat
Gel Combat attracted cockroaches with its aroma. The composition contained food additives. The active substance began to act within a few hours. The cockroach manages to bring poison to the nest, feed the larvae and other relatives. Duration of effect is 9 months.
The gel had the following advantages:
- high efficiency;
- convenient use;
- does not stain furniture or floors;
- long-lasting protection effect;
- no unpleasant odor;
- safety for humans and pets.
There were no disadvantages as such, with the exception of possible difficulties when cleaning the gel.
Composition and rules of use
The active component of the cockroach remedy Combat was hydramethylnon. A new generation insecticide affects the functioning of the nervous system, causing muscle paralysis and death. It belongs to the fourth hazard class; when used correctly, it does not affect human health and does not cause poisoning in domestic animals if ingested.
Gels Combat
The instructions for use included applying the gel in dotted lines every 20 cm.
Other forms of release
Other anti-cockroach drugs are produced under the name Combat:
- aerosols;
- traps.
The first ones are used for disinfestation of the premises. The traps are placed in special sections with a sticky base. Can be mounted in horizontal or vertical position. Inside there is a gel with poisonous components.
Analogs
Gel baits from different manufacturers differ in the set of active components and duration of action. Effective remedies for cockroaches:
- Absolute;
- Clean house;
- Raid;
- Destructive force;
- Brownie;
- A great warrior;
- Raptor;
- chops;
- Dohlox;
- Trap.
Gel Combat is not produced, but no less effective Combat products are available in other forms.
Basic precautions when using the gel
Before using an insecticide, carefully study the description in the instructions. To get rid of cockroaches, you must follow all the manufacturer's instructions.
Since the insecticidal agent against cockroaches contains unique components, all work must be carried out carefully. If you are not careful, the likelihood of poisoning will increase.
The skin on which the component comes into contact is thoroughly washed under running water. After this, the area is soaped and washed off. The mucous membranes on which drops of the gel have fallen are washed with running water. If irritation appears on the skin or vision problems arise, then a visit to the doctor is required. After all, you won’t be able to cope with this problem on your own.
A good remedy, Great Warrior, is used in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. As soon as the treatment procedure is completed, the syringe is closed and the packaging is thrown into the trash. If there is gel in the container, then its storage is allowed. To do this, choose a place that is away from food and pets.
Before using the gel, you need to do the following:
- All food products are placed in food containers or sealed packages. After all, when active substances enter the human body, poisoning occurs.
- The room is sealed. To do this, seal all the cracks through which insects penetrate inside. The ventilation shaft is covered with a mosquito net.
Along with the gel, manufacturers advise using lenses that are designed to combat arthropods.
Advantages of gel compositions and application features
The characteristics of the gels make it possible to reliably get rid of domestic ant colonies.
- The action of the compositions is prolonged. Poisoning of an insect does not occur instantly, so the foraging ant manages to drop poison into the colony and infect all its fellows, including the queen.
- The toxic ability of the active substance persists for 1-2 months.
- The organoleptic properties of the bait are attractive to insects. House ants eat poison with great pleasure. This property ensures the targeted effect of the composition.
Gel insecticides are used indoors only. The compositions are applied in a drip path in areas of suspected insect colonies, as well as along areas of movement of foragers. Usually these are baseboards, plumbing communications, trash cans, furniture.
All compounds are poisonous. To prevent poisoning of children and pets, the poison formula includes vegetable bitters, which completely discourage the desire to join the ant “meal”.
Main advantages and disadvantages
Most experts attribute the following characteristics to the advantages of this drug:
- The gel has a low cost. This makes it possible to talk about the availability of the drug for all categories of buyers.
- Great Warrior belongs to the class of drugs that have maximum effectiveness in the fight against cockroaches.
- Convenient to use. You don't need any special skills to use it. Instructions right on the package.
This allows us to say that the gel is one of the most popular among similar products from other manufacturers. With the listed advantages of such a drug, do not forget that it also has a number of disadvantages, which can be characterized by the following points:
The gel has a very unpleasant odor, which certainly causes additional discomfort for apartment residents and their pets. Contains substances of toxic origin that can be hazardous to animal and human health
Therefore, premises should be treated with it in compliance with additional precautions. After this, it is necessary to exclude the possibility of pets coming into contact with the treated surface. Great Warrior Gel cannot be used for preventive treatment of an entire apartment or house.
Ways to deal with house ants
Today, in the variety of methods for exterminating insects, there are several possibilities.
- Folk techniques. A poisonous bait is prepared using borax, yeast, boric acid and corn flour. However, the effect will only be at the initial stage of ant settlement. In most cases, they are not able to completely destroy the “infiltrators.”
- Aerosols. The means are sprayed along the paths of movement of insects and points of possible localization of nests. If you manage to get to the colony, the entire settlement will die. But in general, the aerosol is an unimportant “warrior” against ants.
- Insecticide powders. The products fall on the tips of the insects' legs. When the ant tries to clean itself, it gets poisoned. If he manages to crawl to the nest, the infection will be delivered to the entire family.
- Gels. These developments appeared on the market not so long ago, but have already proven their effectiveness. Their advantage is that the gel is carried drop by drop by worker insects to the nest and completely affects the entire colony. The beauty of gels is that they act for a long time.
In getting rid of an ant invasion, the main thing is to neutralize the “queen” and destroy the nest, and without them both the working insects and the males will die. Getting to the settlement is extremely difficult, so the easiest way to deliver a poisonous potion is with the help of feeders.
Why are ants dangerous?
Whether or not to use ant gel is a standard doubt for most tenants. Owners of private houses do not have any remorse, because they know that creatures that are useful in nature are serious pests at home. But why?
Creatures that are useful in nature but serious pests at home
Ants are creatures that are beneficial under standard conditions:
- destroy small insects;
- remove garbage, food debris, flies and beetles;
- spread the seeds of herbs and plants across the ground;
- hard workers from whom it is worth following an example.
They live in colonies and never sleep. During the day they swarm and raise offspring, at night they strengthen their houses and set up a warehouse for supplies collected during a sunny day. But in a living space, their benefits are much less. Let's face it, more harm. This includes the presence of parasites on the paws, as well as other diseases. This also includes the ability of yellow ants to bite. And literally all types of ants damage human supplies:
- grain and flour;
- bread and finished products;
- They especially love butter and milk.
Ants spread parasites on their legs, as well as other diseases.
With their appearance, you can’t keep anything edible on tables, shelves, or anywhere else in general. If you have a child, then be sure that there will definitely be insects in his toys, crib and things. Hence the bites and the appearance of allergic rashes. With the wrong approach, the struggle on your own drags on indefinitely.
Composition and effect of the drug
This cockroach gel contains two insecticides: 0.2% is diazinon and 0.3% is chlorpyrifos, the rest is food fillers. As a result of the fact that these two active substances enter into a chemical reaction, their negative effect on insects increases.
It attracts the attention of cockroaches with its special taste and, of course, appetizing smell. The product has a cascading effect
After an insect tastes the poison, it almost immediately infects its entire colony. Even the most persistent cockroaches are destroyed. Thanks to the lethal dose, they can be combated in a short time. According to people's reviews, it will take only 2-3 days to completely destroy the entire colony.
Characteristics, principle of operation
Great Warrior anti-cockroach gel is available in syringes weighing 45 g. Less common are tubes up to 100 g and plastic containers. It is a jelly-like mass of light yellow color without a pronounced odor. Used against cockroaches and ants: garden, domestic. It belongs to hazard class 4 and, when used correctly, does not pose a threat to human health. It is allowed to store unopened product for 2 years, at temperatures up to +35°C, away from food and children.
The composition is represented by active components - organophosphorus compounds, food and functional additives:
- diazinon 0.2%;
- chlorpyrifos 0.3%;
- stabilizer;
- bitrex;
- preservative;
- gelling agents;
- fillers.
After cockroaches come into contact with the gel, the active substances penetrate the pest’s body, inhibit the functioning of the nervous system, causing paralysis and death within 24 hours.
On a note!
Thanks to the slow action of the poison, the carrier insects have time to infect other individuals from the nest. After a few days, the death of the entire colony is noted.
Gel Brownie
The full name of this famous gel against cockroaches and ants is “Brownie Proshka” or “Domovenok” with fipronil. If you use it correctly, then according to the instructions, complete death of cockroaches occurs 1-2 days after the product is applied to the surface.
The gel is supplied in a variety of packaging:
- in the form of syringes, the volume of which is 10–50 ml;
- in the form of tubes with a volume of 50–150 ml;
- in the form of bottles with a volume of 50–200 ml;
- in the form of plastic buckets with a volume of 0.5–3.5 liters, packaged for pest control services.
In order to rid the entire room of parasites, a 30 ml syringe will be enough, which is equivalent to 30 g of the substance.
Description
The ant repellent gel contains two active ingredients – chlorpyrifos and diazinon.
The components enhance each other’s action and allow you to quickly get rid of the entire ant colony. On a note!
The great warrior does not only affect ants. It also kills cockroaches.
The drug is available in a 30 ml syringe. This is enough to treat a room of 50 square meters. If the house is large, then it is worth buying several tubes. After all, insects can move from one room to another.
Information about the drug
Today you can freely purchase a syringe with active substances at retail. Tube volume – 30 ml. The container is equipped with a dispenser, so it is convenient to use to quickly get rid of arthropod pests.
One syringe is enough to treat a room whose area is from 25 to 30 m2. If a large population lives in an apartment, it is better to buy several tubes.
You can also purchase Great Warrior gel against domestic cockroaches in the hardware store. The approximate price is 50 rubles. These anti-cockroach products are sold in specialized and hardware stores.
Interesting!
The active substance affects the digestive system of the pest, so it dies within 1–2 days.
It is easy to remove gel residues from surfaces. This does not require special cleaning agents. After the great warrior gel against domestic cockroaches is applied, it is effective for 25–30 days. If there is a need for repeated disinfestation, it is performed after 2–3 weeks.
Various means are used if the great warrior gel does not help get rid of a large population of arthropod pests.
Danger of ants to humans
Despite their harmless appearance and impressive organization of life, house ants are dangerous parasites and pests for humans. What is their harm?
- Crawling from garbage to food, they carry pathogens of intestinal infections, helminth eggs and many other nasty things no less than flies and cockroaches.
- They spoil kilograms of food: it is not possible to remove an ant that has crawled into flour or cereal. Moreover, there are probably several dozen of his relatives there. We have to throw away supplies.
- There is a frightening theoretical assumption about the possibility of a house ant crawling into the ear canal of infants, and even just sleeping adults, if the apartment is infested with these parasites.
So there’s no point in delaying getting rid of your unpleasant neighborhood.
Absolute
The Absolute gel is based on chlorperifos, a very common poison used to combat various insects. It is safe for humans, but if the paste gets into your mouth, you must immediately wash off the contamination with running water.
By the way, the “plus” is that this gel can be used in children’s institutions, which indicates a fairly high level of harmlessness. The effect of the poison is slow; before death, the insect will have time to infect the entire anthill, including the uterus.
The preventive effect lasts for about 2 months, but after its completion, re-treatment should be carried out. It has no odor as such, but the gel attracts ants. The product costs 250-300 rubles, but a kilogram package can be purchased for 1200 rubles.
Review
Ants really like this gel and eat it with pleasure. And, of course, they die after that. It’s fast and painful, which is especially pleasing. Long-term exposure was limited to 2 months, after which the ants returned. I processed it again until there was silence.

Preparatory activities and room treatment
Treating an apartment with “Great Warrior” gel does not require any special preparatory work. All you need to do is light wet cleaning of the room. It is recommended to treat an apartment against cockroaches in the following sequence:
before starting work on the destruction of Prussians, you should carefully read the instructions for its use; to increase the toxicity of the drug and increase its attractiveness to insects, you need to knead the tube in your hand; The gel should be applied to all places without exception where there are clusters of barbels. The Prussians, having found the fragrant bait, begin to eat it, after which they return to their places of deployment and there infect other individuals; the product should be distributed in a thin dotted line
The lines are drawn at a distance of approximately 3 centimeters from each other; if the colony of Prussians is not very large, then the distance between the lines is increased; During disinfection work, the greatest attention should be paid to surfaces near the baseboards and cracks in the apartment. You should also treat areas near the trash can, toilet, sink and ventilation duct
This is where barbels most often hide. Thanks to the thin tip, the gel can be easily applied into any cracks on the walls or floor; It is imperative to distribute the gel near all sources of water, since without it the Prussians will not survive for more than a week; as insects eat the gel, its layer needs to be renewed approximately every three weeks; It is better not to use the “Great Warrior” product for more than one month, since over time the cockroach adapts to the ingredients of the drug. It is recommended to use it in turn with other insecticides made on the basis of other active ingredients; To create a barrier that protects the apartment from the penetration of new parasites, it is recommended to apply the gel in a continuous line along the entire perimeter of the room. This is not a mandatory procedure, but it significantly increases the effectiveness of the preventive effect of the insecticide.
Tatyana, Saransk:
“Some time ago we moved to a new apartment. And imagine our surprise when we saw that a whole colony of Prussians was living with us. We immediately began to destroy them, purchasing the “Great Warrior” gel on the recommendation of friends. While we were processing the children and the dog, we took them to their parents. The apartment was treated with gel as indicated in the attached instructions. Soon we were sweeping up piles of dead longhorned beetles. Corpses appeared every day, and we thought that our troubles had come to an end. But, after some time, cockroaches began to appear again, and we had to look for a stronger remedy. Yes, the gel is good, but only as a preventive measure! Unfortunately, he cannot cope with a severe infection.”
Proper processing
Any processing requires a preparatory stage. To do this, you need to prepare the room. It is imperative to take into account the degree of contamination of the apartment. In case of severe infestation, a full treatment of the entire area of the apartment will be required.
At the first stage you need:
- Move cabinets and other furniture away from the walls.
- Sweep and remove dust.
- Carry out wet cleaning; the gel must be applied to a clean surface.
- It is advisable to hide food, dishes, and towels.
Before direct application, you need to knead the tube in your hands to enhance effectiveness. Be sure to wear rubber gloves. Apply in a dotted line, the amount of gel applied depends entirely on the number of Prussians, when there are a lot of them in the apartment, a larger area will need to be treated.
The following surfaces are processed:
- Skirting boards throughout the apartment, back walls of cabinets and other furniture.
- Window and door frames, space behind the radiator.
- Ventilation holes, pipes, risers under the sink and washbasin.
- Gaps, joints on tiles, corners in the bathroom and toilet.
- Behind the refrigerator, near the trash can.
It is advisable to eliminate all water leaks. From time to time the lines are updated, this is done no earlier than every 2-3 weeks. Remember that Prussians can get used to the active component, they develop immunity and then they will need to use other drugs. Do not forget about preventive actions that will help protect your apartment from new invasions.
Advantages of the product
The main positive quality of the drug is that it affects all individuals, including those that do not leave the walls of the anthill. Other advantages include the following:
- The Great Warrior ant syringe is inexpensive and can be found in any hardware store.
- A convenient dispenser allows you to use poison in hard-to-reach places.
- The substance has no pungent odor and does not release dangerous toxins into the environment.
- Ant repellent gel has a long shelf life of two years.
- The Great Warrior destroys not only ants. It is effective against Prussians.
Many people like the product because it does not affect the respiratory tract of humans and animals. It is easy to apply and remove. The gel itself can be placed on small pieces of cardboard.
Safety regulations
When working with poisons, personal protection is required
To use ant gel in your apartment and not harm your household, you should follow a number of important rules:
- A dangerous product containing poison should not get on the surface of the mucous membrane or inside the body.
- Keep products out of the reach of children.
- Disinsection is carried out in personal protective equipment - mask, gloves.
- The treated room is thoroughly ventilated, especially if the anti-ant gel has an odor.
- There should be no people or animals in the home.
The destruction of such insects is a complex process. However, the use of effective chemicals can make it extremely easy. When the pest population in a home is not too large, and children or pets live on the premises, a gel composition is the most optimal option.
Form and composition of the "Great Warrior"
The gel with such a pathetic name is produced in the form of a tube resembling a syringe with a long thin spout. The tube is packed in a cardboard box, which contains information about the composition and instructions for use. This packaging greatly simplifies the process of applying the gel to hard-to-reach places and allows you to squeeze out exactly the amount you need - no more, no less.
There are two syringe volumes - 30 and 45 ml. This is quite enough to process a standard apartment. However, with a large colony population, it makes sense to increase the consumption of the product - fortunately, it is relatively inexpensive.
The “Great Warrior” formula is based on the substance chlorpyrifos. This is a modern contact insecticide that is used in many products against cockroaches, woodlice, ants and other types of synanthropic insects.
In addition to chlorpyrifos, the gel formula contains a fatty base, a preservative and a food additive or flavoring. The preservative preserves the activity of the components, the fatty base prevents rapid drying, so the gel remains effective even several weeks after application. And the food additive attracts insects with its smell, forcing them to feast on the poison.
How does the “Great Warrior” work?
The contact type of exposure to chlorpyrifos means that the poison destroys the insect after physical contact. A cockroach can eat a little of the gel or simply get dirty in it and then swallow some part during the washing process. After the poison enters the digestive tract, it travels with lymph throughout the body, blocking the transmission of nerve impulses. As a result, complete paralysis occurs and the Prussian dies.
great warrior against cockroaches
The “Great Warrior” destroys the Prussians using the domino principle. After one individual has tasted a poisonous treat, it does not die, but lives for some time. This is necessary so that the cockroach has time to enter the nest and infect several more of its fellows. And so, along the chain, the entire colony dies out.
In addition, a cockroach poisoned with chlorpyrifos itself becomes poison for other individuals. As you know, Prussians are guilty of necrophagy, that is, they eat their dead brothers. So, eating a relative who died from chlorpyrifos, the Prussians themselves die.
How to use the heroic power of the “Great Warrior”?
It wasn’t me who fell into colorful epithets, it was the marketers who wrote on the packaging of the gel – “heroic blow.” Let's figure out how to direct this powerhouse in the direction we need.
Preparing the apartment for processing
Before applying the gel, you need to spend a little time and prepare the apartment:
- collect dust and crumbs with a vacuum cleaner or damp cloth;
- move upholstered furniture away from the walls;
- remove paintings and photographs from the walls.
These simple steps will help us apply the gel to all strategically important places and hit the enemy from all sides.
Raptor
This paste smells like apricot and vanilla, very attractive! But the same smell can attract pets, even though they don’t really like sweets. But children, oddly enough, avoid the treated areas. The action is prolonged, that is, the ants have time to bring the poison to the nest before dying.
A distinctive feature of the gel against Raptor ants is that it can act on eggs. Even if some of the ants survive (and they will survive, since the insecticide is quite weak), then new individuals will never be able to be born.
The tube is very convenient to use - a special nozzle allows you to apply the paste in thin strips, saving product. The cost of the drug is 300 rubles.
Review
At first they tried to dissuade me from Raptor, but I’m stubborn and decided to buy it. And I didn’t regret it. The effect is quick, prevention lasts for a month. The drug smells very pleasant, but does not whet the appetite. The entire ant population has disappeared, I am completely satisfied with the result!
Ekaterina, Nizhny Novgorod
Reviews
Reviews about the Great Warrior are mostly positive and confirm its destructive abilities against cockroaches and ants.
On the advice of a friend, I bought the Great Warrior gel. Applied according to instructions. At first it seemed that there were more cockroaches. They crawled lethargically around the kitchen, apparently the poison had such an effect on them that they could not get to their hiding places. But after 5 days they disappeared completely.
Veronica, Pavlograd
A good and very budget-friendly product. Only 50 rubles - and no cockroaches after 3 days. I recommend to everyone.
Arthur, Ivanovo
It took me a long time to take the remedy for cockroaches. The consultant advised to pay attention to the Great Warrior gel. I decided to buy it and did not regret it. I spent 5 minutes on treatment, 55 rubles on the gel - and after a week I forgot about the Prussians.
Great warrior from ants - composition and action
Available in a 30 g tube with a dispenser syringe. This amount is enough to treat a room of 40–60 square meters. m. Very easy to use. Open and squeeze out the product.
The composition includes two insecticides:
- chlorpyrifos – 0.3%;
- diazinon – 0.2%.
Additional components:
- preservatives;
- gelling agent;
- bitrex;
- food fillers.
This combination of active components was invented for a reason. Ants eventually develop immunity against poisons. For this reason, strong chemicals are ineffective. If one insecticide doesn't work, the second one will take effect. In addition, they complement each other’s action, thereby doubling the effectiveness.
Poisons have a long-lasting intestinal effect. There is no immediate death of insects. The poison acts gradually. The lethal dose is a few milligrams.
Most insects avoid scattered poison, hide from sprays and aerosols, and feel calm in the vicinity of it. Manufacturers took this point into account and added substances to the composition that are capable of luring them. Now you don’t need to chase insects with poison - they will come running to it themselves.
Ants willingly eat the bait and take it with them to the nest. They feed others. Suspecting nothing, they feed on all the offspring. After a couple of days, the entire colony becomes infected. Death is inevitable. Over the next 2-3 days, dead insects begin to appear.
After 1–2 weeks, it is possible to completely clear the room of pests.
Advantages of the drug
Warrior-gel against ants is highly effective. It destroys not just individuals, but the entire family. It is easy to spot an anthill in the garden, but in the house it is almost impossible. Ants make deep holes and numerous passages. Place the nest under the floor or in the wall. Gel bait does not require clarification of the situation. The ants themselves will bring the poison home.
High efficiency is ensured by two active toxic substances at once. This eliminates the possibility of adaptation. The gel will always work.
One treatment is enough to destroy the entire family. The effect lasts for 2 months. During this time, a new generation will have time to appear and die. It does not deteriorate over time and does not dry out. When placed on an anthill or nest, the effectiveness increases significantly.
Availability and low cost.
Sold together with a dosing syringe. Convenient to apply and spread over the surface.
How to use the product
The product is applied in dotted lines wherever insects were noticed, along their paths and routes of entry into an apartment or house. Don’t miss baseboards, cracks, gaps under peeling wallpaper, “warm spots” around radiators and water pipes, centers of food attraction - sinks, trash cans, grocery shelves.
If there are a lot of insects, the recommended frequency of dotted lines (2 cm) is every 6 cm. If the number is small, you can increase the intervals to 8 cm. The gel does not leave marks on the floor, but if it is more convenient to use substrates, it is permissible to apply 30-50 mg of the product and place in areas of maximum accumulation.
If you are treating a country house for ants, do not forget to apply the gel outside - along the perimeter of the lower part of the building. For any method of application, re-treatment is advisable no earlier than after 2 weeks.
Instructions for use
You should not expect all the ants to disappear instantly. For those who ate the gel immediately, the poison will take effect within about a day. The ant colony begins to die after 3–4 days, and you will notice the complete disappearance of insects only after 1.5–2 weeks.
At the same time, the Great Warrior from ants helps against both garden and house varieties.
In the garden, it is recommended to apply the gel directly to the bark of trees, leaving it dotted or in strips. In addition, the ant repellent can be squeezed onto sheets of cardboard, which are then placed on the ant “paths” and next to the anthill.
To cope with house ants that enter the home from the street, apply the Great Warrior poison in the form of a dotted line, completely covering the entire perimeter of the room (preferably not only inside, but also outside). In this case, strips of gel are squeezed out 2 cm long, leaving an untreated space of about 6 cm between them.
When using the Great Warrior gel, pay special attention to interaction with moisture and dust: try to prevent them from getting on the ant repellent.
The poison can be used a second time no earlier than 3 weeks after the first treatment, provided that it has been washed off with water or traces of ants are visible again.
