A good combination of price and quality - Dohlox. What is the secret of success? What do user reviews say?

Descriptions of Dohlox gel

In fact, there are two manufacturers of gels against cockroaches called “Dohloks” - the Oboronkhim and Dohloks Technologies companies. Oboronkhimovsky gel is more famous, it is even recommended for use by the Ministry of Health. However, the remedy from Dohlox Technologies LLC is also effective.

Let's consider both varieties.

"Dohloks" from PO "Oboronkhim"

Dohlox gel is available in the form of a syringe. The composition contains the active ingredient fipronil. This is a poison for insects that has a contact and intestinal effect, that is, they are poisoned both when they come into contact with the gel and when they eat it.

"Dohlox Oboronkhim" is a white gel produced in syringes with a volume of 30 g

The effect on the cockroach’s body is as follows: as a result of exposure to the substance, the transmission of impulses through the nervous system is disrupted and its cells are destroyed, resulting in paralysis and death of the insect. Fipronil has a delayed effect, so the death of the cockroach does not occur immediately, but after several hours. Thanks to this, the insect manages to infect other relatives with poison by contacting them. Dead cockroaches are often eaten by living ones, which provides additional poison to their bodies.

Nowadays there are many counterfeits of anti-cockroach gels, including Dohloksa. There are features of the appearance of the packaging declared by the manufacturer that will allow you to distinguish the original and purchase a quality product:

  • the syringe with the gel is made of white plastic;


    The original syringe with Dohlox Oboronkhim gel has a special shape of the stem

  • There is a logo on the end of the syringe.


    At the end of the syringe with Dohlox there is a brand name cast - a star.

"Dohloks" from "Dohloks Technologies"

There are three types of gel from this manufacturer, differing in composition and strength:

  • "Dohlox Minor Poison." Like Oboronkhimovsky gel, it contains fipronil (0.06%). Cockroaches begin to die within the first day after application, most of them die within 2–3 days. Available in a bottle, syringe and sachet bags.
  • “Dohlox Sginzaraza!” It also contains fipronil, but in a slightly lower concentration (0.05%). Cockroaches die after 1–3 days. This gel is available in the form of a syringe and sachets.
  • "Dohlox Premium". The active substance is fipronil (0.05%). It affects the body of pests in a similar way to other variations. You can buy syringes or sachets with the product. According to the manufacturer, this gel is hypoallergenic.


    "Dohloks" from "Dohloks Technologies" has an image of "cockroach death" on the packaging

The gels from this company do not have any characteristic packaging features that would allow them to distinguish a fake. To buy quality products, you need to purchase them in specialized stores and distribution points of Dohloks Technologies LLC. Their list can be found on the manufacturer’s website https://doxl.ru/gde-kupit-dochlox.

In addition to the listed substances, Dohlox gels from both manufacturers contain additives that attract cockroaches. Thanks to them, insects mistake the product for a treat and eat it with pleasure.

Efficiency and benefits of dohlox cockroach gel

The anti-cockroach drug can destroy cockroaches on any surface. It is used where there is high infestation. How does the product work?

The toxic substance penetrates the pest’s body, has a paralytic effect on nerve impulses, all body systems stop working, and the arthropod dies.

The peculiarity of dohlox is that the drug creates a chain reaction of poisoning between beetles. Once in the body of a cockroach, the component begins its action after 30 minutes, during which time the individual manages to reach its relatives and infect them. After poisoning, there are no corpses, since they are eaten by other cockroaches without leaving a trace. This allows you to get a portion of poison. The result is noticeable after a week, the number of arthropods noticeably decreases, and after a short time they disappear completely.

The product has the following advantages:

  1. Ease of use. The gel is in tubes in a ready-made state; there is no need to dilute it or mix it with other components. The sharp tip on the container allows you to apply the drug to hard-to-reach places.
  2. Economical. The syringe is equipped with a dispenser that controls the consumption of the drug. In addition, a small tube is enough to treat an apartment; the cost of the product is low.
  3. Long-term activity. Due to the content of the oil component, the drug acts on individuals for several months. At the same time, the gel does not dry out, the aromatic components also actively distribute the smell.
  4. Safe composition for humans and pets. The composition does not contain toxic elements or toxic substances that will harm the health of humans or animals. The composition contains bitterness, which prevents poisoning when the product enters the oral cavity.
  5. No pungent odors. The product does not have any strong odors when used, so it is unnoticeable after treatment in the apartment.
  6. Destroys mass accumulations of pests. The toxic substance has a detrimental effect not only on adults, but also on larvae. Therefore, after treatment there will not be a single individual in the house.

But, do not forget that frequent use of the drug leads to addiction and adaptation of the pest organism; the arthropod stops responding to dohlox. Therefore, it is better to combine the product with other chemicals; in this case, you can get rid of insects forever.

Instructions for using Dohlox

Manufacturers recommend applying Dohlox cockroach gel in a dotted line, with a distance of 2 cm. As practice shows, consumer reviews indicate. The effectiveness is not reduced if the product is applied at a distance of 4 cm from each other. The Prusak, anyway, will discover the remedy. And for a person there is savings. In general, one syringe with gel is enough to treat the kitchen in the apartment, the bath. The main rooms where cockroaches like to hang out. Unused product is stored in a closed syringe for 3 years from the date of manufacture.

The oily base of Dohlox gel may stain some surfaces. To avoid trouble, it is recommended to apply cockroach repellent to a cardboard sheet or paper. In order for the use of the gel to give quick results, you need to position the bait correctly. In the kitchen, this is done along the baseboards, behind the furniture, on the windowsill, under the table, near doorways, near the trash can, and sink. Cockroaches run into the bathroom to quench their thirst. It is necessary to place the cockroach repellent under the washbasin, near the toilet, under the bathtub.

Effects on people and animals

For people and warm-blooded animals, Dohlox, as already mentioned, does not pose a great danger. The product is poisonous for cold-blooded living creatures (fish and reptiles), and it is also highly toxic for bees. But considering that the gel is applied to areas of the apartment that are far from these animals, you don’t have to worry about them.


The substance fipronil is also used in the fight against other insects, for example, ants

If there are babies in the house who have already started walking, as well as active pets, you need to take precautions, as they can eat the gel . In this case, you need to apply it to inaccessible places, or place pieces of paper with the product squeezed out on them where it is impossible to reach.

Composition and principle of action

Good results from using the gel are due to its composition. Dohlox anti-cockroach product includes:

  • active substance fipronil;
  • bait;
  • fat gel base;
  • fragrance;
  • preservatives.

Once in the body of insects, fipronil blocks the nervous system and has a paralytic effect. Cockroaches die a few hours after poisoning. Insects are attracted by the bait added to the gel.

Cockroaches hiding in cracks are infected by insects that carry a viscous poisonous gel on their legs. In addition, cockroaches eat their own kind and eat infected dead pests, thereby receiving a portion of the poisonous substance.

A long shelf life of the drug is possible thanks to the preservatives it contains, and the viscous structure is maintained due to the gel base. A more effective result can be obtained by using not only the gel, but also traps from this manufacturer.

How to use

First you need to clean up, getting rid of crumbs and other food debris that cockroaches love. They should have no food options other than gel.

Next, you need to put on gloves and apply the gel along the baseboards and other places where there are the most cockroaches.


Using a syringe allows you to dispense the gel as desired

There is no need to make a continuous line; it is enough to squeeze out drops at intervals of 1–2 cm. To make everything neater, you can squeeze the gel onto a substrate (pieces of paper, polyethylene, etc.) and place them at the same distance from each other.

The more the room is infested with cockroaches, the more product must be used. For a very large number of pests - 1 syringe per 3-4 m2.

After a few days, you can wash off the gel (remove the papers). But to consolidate the effect, it is better to leave it for another 2-3 weeks, since new cockroaches may hatch from the eggs, and they will also need to be destroyed.

Wash off the gel with water and any detergent.

Security measures

The gel form is one of the safest among cockroach remedies. It does not evaporate and cannot be inhaled, so it is almost impossible to get poisoned when applied. However, insecticides are still toxic if ingested, so you need to take some precautions:

  • keep the product away from children, away from food;
  • contact it only with gloves;
  • do not swallow, do not allow contact with skin or eyes;
  • In case of contact with eyes or skin, rinse with plenty of water;
  • In case of accidental ingestion or ingestion, seek immediate medical attention.
