Composition and mechanism of action

A smoke bomb for bedbugs works on the principle of seeping insecticidal vapors into all hard-to-reach places.

Poisonous smoke penetrates the chitinous shell of the bug, causing its paralysis and inevitable death. But unlike sprays, owners will not be able to control the flow of smoke during treatment.

A smoke bomb affects bedbugs due to the following components:

1. Permethrin. It is an insecticide and acaricide. It affects the nervous system of parasites, paralyzing and destroying them.
2. Decomposition products of sulfurous aldehyde. A toxic compound that eliminates not only parasites, but also fungi and mold.
3. Hexachlorane. A toxic component that first causes agitation, loss of coordination, and then partial or complete paralysis.

Products with such active substances act on bedbugs, cockroaches, and ants.

Advantages and disadvantages

The drug, which allows you to build a “gas chamber” for bed bugs, has earned respect and recognition among those who have been attacked by these annoying and disgusting bloodsuckers. However, like any product, this also has its pros and cons. The table will tell you more about them.

Table - Advantages and disadvantages of smoke bombs

Chinese and Japanese-made drugs are especially popular today. They are believed to have a lower level of toxicity. However, due to the lack of a Russian translation on the label, it is difficult for an ordinary person to understand what is inside the drug.

Before starting the fumigator, you should turn off the fire alarm, if there is one in the apartment. Otherwise, when the system smells smoke, it will certainly go off, rescuers will come, and you will have to pay for a false call. Upon returning home after disinfestation, bed linen and items soaked in smoke must be washed in an automatic machine with the hottest water allowed for these fabrics.

The device, like other insecticides, has little effect on bloodsucker eggs. Therefore, the parasites are highly likely to make themselves known again after a couple of weeks. The main thing is not to get confused, but to purchase another similar device in advance. The optimal period for “re-vaccination” against bedbugs is after a full two weeks from the date of the first treatment. No more than 21 days should pass between the launch of two checkers, otherwise the effect will be lost.

How to choose the right smoke bomb for bedbugs

Smoke bombs differ in composition and degree of safety for humans or pets. Among the best brands of such products are: Quiet Evening, Raptor, City, Mukhoyar.

You can buy the insecticide in this form in a special store or order it online. It is better to do this on the official websites of the manufacturer so as not to doubt the quality of the drug.

When purchasing in a store, be sure to pay attention to the packaging. The label must contain the manufacturer's distinctive sign, his contacts, and legal address.

In addition, all components and instructions for use must be specified. In the absence of the listed elements, it is better to refuse the product.

Sulfur checker

Sulfur bomb against bedbugs Fas is used mainly in non-residential premises (empty cellars, basements, empty greenhouses, greenhouses).

This product causes poisoning in pets, so its use requires special caution. After treatment, you need to ventilate the room thoroughly and for a long time.

Gas bomb

The Raptor aquafumigator vaguely resembles a gas bomb for bedbugs. It contains the active ingredient - cyphenothrin and a special vapor-forming agent. The components are placed inside a small metal container.

It is placed in a plastic container, partially filled with water.

Upon contact with liquid, a thermal reaction is catalyzed with the formation of vapor of the active substance, penetrating into all hard-to-reach places. Such a gas bomb permanently destroys all mature individuals, as well as their larvae.

Purpose

The drug is intended to destroy a large number of pests indoors. Smoke kills winged and crawling insects - flies, mosquitoes, cockroaches, bedbugs and many others. Under its influence, all affected individuals die after 27 minutes. Studies have shown that most pests die 5 minutes after the product enters the respiratory tract. The maximum area of ​​the room processed using one checker depends on the insects being fought:

• fleas, bedbugs, feather eaters – 90 m2;
• flies – 400 m2;
• wasps – 50-60 m2;
• mosquitoes – 500 m2.

The figures are based on a standard ceiling height of 3 meters. This difference is due to the fact that insects, depending on the species, have different resistance to active substances.

Instructions for use

Before starting the destruction of bedbugs with smoke bombs, the owners carefully think through everything and prepare in detail for such manipulation. When killing bedbugs with smoke, the room will be filled with a thick fog of insecticide.

How to properly poison bedbugs with smoke
