Therefore, it is very important to take timely measures, armed with an effective drug. Today, the market is replete with a host of antiparasitic drugs, one of which is smoke bombs from bugs.

Smoke, or as it is also called sulfur bomb bug, resembles an aerosol agent. However, it lacks the ability to control the smoke stream. Insecticidal smoke spreads independently, penetrating into all inaccessible places and crevices. He impregnates even fabric upholstery. Therefore, poisonous couples will get bloodsuckers in the interior of the sofa or bed - where detect bugs nests visual inspection is sometimes very difficult.

Smoke bombs vary in composition. They may contain powerful insecticidal components in the form of:

  • Sulfur compounds forming sulfur dioxide during combustion. They are highly poisonous compounds with insecticidal, antifungal and bactericidal properties. Therefore, sulfur checkers are used in damp rooms, where there is a need to get rid of mold.
  • Permethrin is a powerful insecticidal component that affects the nervous system of an insect. The consequence of this effect is paralysis and death of the parasite.
  • Hexachloran is a toxic component that contains chlorine and has a nerve-paralytic effect on parasites.
  • Didecyldimethylammonium bromide - a substance with high bactericidal and fungicidal properties, which allows the use of similar tools in agricultural facilities to combat fungal infections.

The disadvantages of the method include toxicity of smoke bombs. Despite the fact that most of the components are relatively safe, they can cause intoxication of the body. The absence of residual action is another minus of the means. After all, poisonous vapors affect only adults. And from those set aside by them eggs soon new ones will appear larvae, and the infection process will resume again.

Another negative point is the possibility of acquiring falsified goods.As a commodity of wide consumption today, Chinese or Japanese smoke bomb is very common. On the label of such products there is no translation for the Russian-speaking consumer, as a result of which it is practically impossible to determine the composition and recommendations of the manufacturer.

Reviews

I regularly use checkers in greenhouses. No fungus, no pests. The main thing is not to stay in the room so that then there are no health problems.

Victor Petrovich, Moscow

We bought a sofa at the cottage, and with it a “surprise” in the form of bugs. Sprayed it with an aerosol - it did not help. But the checker helped get rid of bed bugs on the couch, at the same time and wood lice in the house did not.

Natalia, Balabanovo

Often I use smoke bombs when fishing. I set fire to the wick, and mosquitoes do not disturb. Relax and enjoy your health!

Yuri, Sochi

For non-residential premises, the use of smoke bombs can be a good option, for disinsection of an apartment it is still better to choose a fireproof, but effective remedy for bedbugs.
