Dusts are good if used in combination with others remedies for cockroaches. We poisoned initially aerosols, then sprinkled paths from the dust Clean House. Pest control was performed twice a month. Prusakov brought finally.

Anna, Moscow

Use is inconvenient. There remains a powder that looks like garbage. Prusaki do not die immediately, at night, particles of poison fall on the table. Have to wipe every morning with an alkaline solution. Cockroaches develop resistance with prolonged use. Leave for 2 months is not allowed. They run around the powder, but not all die. They fought for a long time until they had a full disinsection effective poison.

    The action of the aerosol lasts for a maximum of 2 hours, then the properties are reduced, a thin layer of poison is not enough to kill a cockroach. If you eat dust in places where these pests like to crawl, the process of their destruction will be accelerated. We Absolute and Dichlorvos brought out the Prussians in a month.
