Cockroaches are disgusting. They are carriers of infectious diseases; The very thought that insects crawled on food can suppress your appetite for a long time. It’s not surprising that you want to get rid of them as quickly as possible, but disinsection must be not only effective, but also safe. Therefore, gel-like insecticides, a find of the modern chemical industry, are the most popular. For example, the cockroach gel Proshka Domovoy can destroy cockroaches without disturbing the smooth flow of life: it is harmless to people.
Description of the product "Brownie"
- A very important point when carrying out any disinfestation is to use effective means that will allow you to clean the room in one go. If the treatment does not give the desired result, the cockroaches lay eggs, which after some time develop into young individuals and a new infection occurs, which is why it is so important not to waste time. In addition, cockroaches are those insects that can get used to pesticides. In other words, incorrect treatment does not kill the insect, but rather hardens it, the body develops immunity to the poison and the subsequent use of insecticides with this active substance will not bring any results.
- This brownie product allows you to get rid of any number of pests. It can be used as the main insecticide for disinfestation, and can also be used as an auxiliary one. During the development, the aspects of effectiveness, prolonged action and safety for those living in the apartment were taken into account.
- The drug has a complex effect on Prussians, which significantly increases its effectiveness. A potent toxic chemical can penetrate the body not only through the intestines through eating food, but also through the chitinous membrane. In addition, by carrying the poison on itself, the cockroach infects its relatives.
- A big advantage is the attractive aroma of the insecticide for cockroaches. They do not feel threatened by it and absorb it perfectly. And while walking around the premises or while eating, they manage to get dirty in the poison. Then they run to the colonies to their relatives, where the “treat” is passed on to others. Within 2 weeks, mass death of pests occurs.
- The composition contains components that provide a prolonged effect after application to the surface. It retains its original properties for a long time. It is recommended to renew the applied product after 2 weeks, which will serve as excellent prevention.
Action of the product
The arthropod pest absorbs not only the tasty bait, but also the active substances that are introduced into it. As soon as the active substance gets inside, it begins to act on cockroaches, their nervous system and digestive organs. The insect dies within 24 hours. The remains of the active substance that are present on the legs and antennae are transferred by the pest to its relatives and spread to secluded places. Therefore, with the help of Proshka Brownie gel, you can get rid of cockroaches quite quickly. The maximum effect of the chemical drug occurs after 6–8 days. The time period required to destroy the entire colony depends on the number of individuals in the colony.
Since the level of toxicity of the anti-cockroach product is low, it is used to treat apartments, houses and medical institutions. This drug differs from other gels in that it has a fatty base. Therefore, it can be applied to both horizontal and vertical surfaces.
Insecticide content
The Domovoy anti-cockroach substance contains special components that attract pests and repel pets. Even if a child accidentally tastes the substance, its bitter taste will not allow itself to be swallowed.
In addition to the main component, the gel has:
- gelling agent;
- component responsible for bitter taste;
- stabilizer;
- additives to increase shelf life.
The insecticide contains a special component that does not allow it to evaporate quickly. This allows you to kill not only adult insects, but also their young. The product must be applied for at least 30 days.
Composition and mechanism of action on cockroaches
Among synanthropic insects, cockroaches are perhaps the most annoying. They acclimatized well in human dwellings, receiving a lot of benefits from this cohabitation. A special adaptive mechanism allows them to “adapt” to toxic substances that are used in the process of sanitary and epidemiological measures. This is why poisons that have been actively used for several decades are losing their effectiveness. Because of this, the “arsenal” of insecticides is regularly updated, improving each time.
Domovoy cockroach gel contains fipronil, a broad-spectrum contact-intestinal insecticide. In recent years, it has been used frequently, but not as widely as substances from the pyrethroid group. This may be due to the fact that all patent rights for the production of products containing fipronil have belonged to one company for 15 years. Tolerance to it among synanthropes is currently minimal.
Fipronil acts selectively, affecting the nervous system of only some insects (cockroaches, ants, bedbugs), which makes it possible to use it for disinfestation of residential, food, medical and prophylactic facilities.
After the substance enters the cockroach’s digestive system, overexcitation of the nervous system occurs, which leads to complete paralysis after 8 hours. Another advantage of this insecticide is that its smell is attractive to insects. Even if the Domovoy gel for cockroaches did not contain attractants, they would still eat it.
In addition to the insecticide, Proshka Domovoy contains preservatives, stabilizers and a fatty base, which prolong the protective effect, preventing it from drying out prematurely. Attractants make it even more “desirable” for insects. The bitter component, Bitrex, gives the product an unpleasant aftertaste, which reduces the likelihood of it being ingested by children or animals.
Composition and release form
The development of the drug is modern, where the latest technological solutions were used. It has a fairly wide spectrum of action; it is used to combat cockroaches, bedbugs, fleas, and termites.
There are many insecticides on the market that are sold in the form of a concentrated emulsion, powder and other forms of release that require the preparation of a solution. In this case, we purchase a ready-made drug that can be used immediately after purchase. In addition, it is sold in a syringe package, which is very convenient to use.
The main active ingredient is fipronil, which is a potent pesticide. It can enter the body through the digestive tract and through the chitinous membrane. Once in the body, the poison affects the nervous system of the cockroach, first paralysis occurs, but soon the insect dies. It is not necessary for every parasite from the colony to eat the product or walk on it; it is enough that some individuals become infected with the poison and pass it on to other relatives.
The composition also contains preservatives that provide a long-lasting effect after application. There are flavors that are designed to attract the attention of Prussians with a pleasant aroma.
The substance is in a syringe and does not emit toxic fumes when applied. If you follow the instructions and follow safety measures, then it does not pose a danger to residents and animals. But you should always remember that this is a dangerous poison and if it enters the human or animal body it can cause serious consequences.
General description and composition
Domovoy Proshka gel is produced in the form of a convenient syringe tube. Initially intended for the elimination of cockroaches in residential and non-residential premises, but it is also highly effective against domestic black and red ants.
Can be used outdoors, but not recommended - the effectiveness will be much worse than when used indoors. A distinctive feature of Domovoy is that it is a domestic development, similar in efficiency to foreign ones.
It makes sense to use the gel only for treating apartments or private houses; it is not suitable for treating large open spaces.
Composition of “Brownie Proshka”:
- fipronil
- stabilizers;
- water base;
- catalysts.
Domovoy is produced in tubes of 15 and 30 grams. The average cost of a 30 gram syringe is 60 rubles. You can purchase the product in stores specializing in the sale of pest control, insecticidal and antiseptic products for the home.
How does Domovoy gel act on insects, and does it help? (+video)
The effectiveness of Domovoy is quite good when using the product at home and if you need to remove small colonies of cockroaches or ants. If there is a large colony in the apartment, the use of additional insecticide may be required.
The situation is exactly the same with large premises (warehouses, basements, industrial complexes) - the larger the area that needs to be treated, the less effective the Domovoi is. Therefore, the manufacturer recommends using the product only for treating apartments or private houses.
Brownie has a contact-intestinal effect. When the parasite comes into contact with the drug, or when it is ingested, damage to the nervous system occurs. This leads to spasms and paralysis, and eventually, after 3-8 hours, the parasite dies.
Before death, as a result of contact of an infected insect with its “compatriots,” the transfer of poison occurs. One individual cockroach is capable of transmitting the toxin to 30-40 other individuals within a day, and they, in turn, transmit it further throughout the colony. As a result, the colony completely dies within 1-2 weeks.
Brownie Proshka does not affect the laying of cockroaches or ants, so it is necessary to carry out repeated treatments after the first treatment. The idea is simple: first we breed adult offspring, then we wait for a new one to be born and then kill it.
Is the product dangerous for humans and pets?
Domovoy insecticide is a very safe drug when used correctly. By acting strictly according to the instructions, you can minimize the risks of intoxication. According to the manufacturer, cases of intoxication are extremely rare.
When working with Domovoy, you need to wear personal protective equipment. You need a change of clothes with long sleeves, safety (construction) glasses, a respirator or at least a gauze bandage, and rubber gloves. After finishing work, you need to wash your change of clothes in hot water and wash your hands and face with soap (preferably twice).
How to use it correctly
The maximum effect can only be achieved if the room is properly treated.
Before applying the insecticide, you need to prepare the surfaces, for this you need:
- We will need to move the furniture away from the walls, this way we will gain access to the back walls and baseboards, and nests are most often located in these places.
- Gently remove dishes and food items from the kitchen, preferably hidden in sealed bags, containers, or refrigerator. If there is pet food, it is better to take it out during processing.
- We sweep absolutely the entire area, get rid of dust, cobwebs and do wet cleaning. You will need to thoroughly clean the surfaces from grease and other contaminants.
- It is advisable to cover the ventilation holes with gauze so that the parasites do not run away among the neighbors; this way you can get rid of them for a while, but rest assured that the fugitives will return back sooner or later.
- All residents leave the apartment, and there should be no animals.
In cases where the apartment is heavily contaminated, dismantling of furniture and kitchen cabinets will be required. The fact is that clutches of eggs are located in places where people simply cannot reach them. These could be cracks, gaps in furniture and other hiding places.
The gel must be applied to a clean surface and it must be dry. Eliminate all water leaks in the apartment, since this is an ideal environment for cockroaches; they cannot live without it for a long time. It is advisable to seal all the cracks in the apartment. Ideally, before treatment, detect the nests of parasites, where their greatest concentration is. If they are found, they are poured with boiling water and collected using a vacuum cleaner.
It should be applied to both horizontal and vertical surfaces, baseboards, cabinet walls, pipes, ventilation, radiators, under sinks and washbasins. You can also use another method: take small pieces of paper, apply a small amount of the drug on them and put them, for example, under the refrigerator, over a gas stove, on a cabinet and in other places.
It will take about 3 hours for the substances to act on the insect, but the results will be noticeable within a week. It is recommended to repeat the procedure to achieve maximum effect and as a preventative measure. To do this, you need to get rid of the remnants of the previously applied insecticide and apply a new one, but in a smaller quantity. Remember that parasites can get used to poisons, so after 2 times using the brownie, the insecticide should be replaced.
Preventive actions
Remember that after each disinsection, prevention is necessary so that the premises are not attacked by insects again. Wash dishes regularly and throw away trash.
Do not leave food residues or crumbs on the surface. After washing dishes, dry the sink. Carry out wet cleaning more often. Use folk remedies and traps.
How to use Domovoy Proshka gel against cockroaches and ants: instructions for use
Before using Domovoi, it is necessary to carry out cleaning and preparation in the room, which consists of several stages:
- Cleaning up dust and debris, mandatory removal of crumbs. After this, we carry out a full dry and wet cleaning.
- We free up space around and under furniture, bathroom devices, and household appliances.
- We remove food, medicines, plants, children's toys, and dishes from the premises. If this is not possible, we hide them in plastic bags.
Next we proceed to processing:
- The gel should be squeezed out in small drops, exactly along the dotted line. One 30 gram tube is enough to fully treat a room with an area of more than 30 m2.
- The distance between each drop should be about 4 centimeters.
- We carefully treat the spaces around the trash can, toilet, around the sink, the space under and around furniture.
- We carry out the treatment along the baseboards, apply a small amount of the product to cracks and holes in the walls.
The main component of the gel - fipronil - does not lose its insecticidal properties for another 2-3 weeks after its application. This means that the gel creates passive protection for this period against re-infestation of the premises by cockroaches.
Instructions for use
Before applying the gel, it is recommended to find the places where arthropod pests are hiding. Chitinous cover, ootheca and excrement are removed from the room. Longhorn beetles use cracks in floor coverings or between tiles, and the space behind pieces of furniture as shelter. To remove them, use a vacuum cleaner or boiling water.
The instructions for the brownie are studied before use. This document contains the main points. After this, perform the following steps:
- Before using the gel, it is necessary to carry out a thorough cleaning of all rooms. To clean surfaces, use warm water with vinegar or essential oil.
- Products are packaged in thick polyethylene or food containers to prevent arthropod pests from reaching them.
- It is better to apply the gel dotted or in the form of a dotted line. The distance between the points is from 5 to 10 cm. The composition is applied around the pipeline, sink and bathtub. Additionally, kitchen cabinets and baseboards are treated.
- If a large colony has settled in the house, then the gel is applied only in a solid line. As soon as the gel begins to dry, its remains are removed and a new layer is applied.
The period of action of the active substance is from 1.5 to 2 months. Manufacturers recommend applying the composition no more than 2 times in order to prevent insects from becoming accustomed to the components.
What other forms of release does Domovoy have?
One of several forms of the insecticidal substance is its production in the form of chalk. This substance has another main component - deltamerin. It has a contact effect on pests and is even safer for humans. But chalk does not allow you to get rid of a large number of barbels, but is used for prevention.
The brownie cockroach trap is the third form of insecticidal preparation. The bait is covered with a plastic shell in which the box is located. Pests crawl in there and consume toxic substances. At the same time, they are subjected to processing of their body. After the “meal,” the longhorned beetles return to their homes and infect others.
Thus, manufacturers were able to create a triple whammy when fighting annoying insects.
Advantages and disadvantages
The benefits include:
- Definitely effective and possible to get rid of large colonies of cockroaches without the help of specialists.
- Convenient release form, no need to spend time preparing a solution, as in the case of powder, very easy to apply.
- Thanks to the gel consistency, pesticides do not enter the air.
- You can get rid of not only cockroaches, but also ants and other pests.

Security measures
Insect control gel Domovoy
Domovoy cockroach repellent contains bitter ingredients that prevent pets from eating the poison. Even if the poison gets into the stomach, the drug does not provoke serious consequences, since the dosage is extremely small. The first day there is weakness, apathy, increased salivation, and lack of appetite.
It is recommended that a person protect his hands with rubber gloves when working with the drug. When it comes into contact with the skin, Domovoy gel causes irritation and provokes an allergic reaction.
I couldn’t even think that this problem would affect my home, but it just so happened that I had to fight these mustachioed parasites. I ran to the store and the salesman recommended Domovoy gel. When I got home, I cleaned up, treated the apartment and just waited for the results. The little brownie began to please just a day later; I saw several dead parasites. Then, I really started to worry, because I continued to meet them running around the kitchen. But after two weeks everything stopped, I didn’t see anyone alive anymore. A month later, I washed off all the poison; I didn’t apply it a second time, but I did use traps.

The following situation happened to me. We had Prussians, while there were very few of them, my mother tried to get rid of them with all sorts of folk recipes, as you can understand, precious time wasted, the cockroaches multiplied and it already seemed that millions of barbels were running around the kitchen. She took the situation into her own hands, sent her mother and children to the dacha, and sent her off to look for poison. I knew about Domovoy for a long time, because a friend used it and was satisfied, but in this situation I didn’t want to limit myself to just gel, I wanted to deal with them once and for all. I bought an extra aerosol. I used the drugs together, of course, I spent time and effort, but I’m happy with the result. My family returned to a clean apartment.
Sergey, 38
The drug Domovoy did not help us at all. Firstly, I will say that it is very difficult to treat a 3-room apartment; you need several syringes. Secondly, I noticed that some parasites avoided the gel; the smell did not attract them; on the contrary, it seemed to me that it repelled them. Thirdly, having waited two weeks for the effect, I wasted a lot of time and all I got was even more Prussians. But in the end, I had to wash out the gel, which left stains. Not happy and don't recommend.
Efficiency

The result is instant. Cockroaches die in a matter of days. Certified poison. Our production is Dezprom. Easy to apply, no smell. Helped me get rid of cockroaches in 2 weeks. It takes people years to do this. Costs pennies compared to similar products. But there are disadvantages - it damages the furniture. The yellow color remains after the drops. I do not recommend applying it to the refrigerator, stove, or white tiles.
The cockroach repellent Domovenok helped me a lot. I rented an apartment. At first I didn’t notice anyone or anything. Then I saw a cockroach on the kitchen table. Just creepy. At the market I was advised to use Domovenok gel. I was very pleased with the price. I don’t really want to spend a fortune on these bastards. At night I applied it in a strip on the stove, near the radiator, walked along the baseboards, and on the table lintel. In the morning there were already dead ones lying around. After 2 weeks the gel dried out, I removed it with a knife. I applied it again. I lived like this for six months, and I never came across them alive again.
An effective drug for cockroaches, affordable price, easy to use - cannot be compared with folk remedies. I was pleased with the result. The cockroaches were exterminated within 3 weeks. I didn't find any shortcomings. I recommend to everyone. It doesn't smell like anything. The cat lives at home, feels great, and has not been poisoned. I approached the poison several times. He sniffs and moves away. You can safely use it.
The product Proshka Domovoy occupies a leading place in sales among similar products. The gel has repeatedly confirmed its effectiveness and collects positive reviews on forums.
Preparing the premises
Before applying the gel, it is recommended to perform general cleaning. This is done with the aim of destroying other food attractive to cockroaches. If cleaning is not done, insects will pass by the gel-like poison. As a result, it will not be possible to destroy pests. In addition, cleaning will make it possible to calculate their habitats, guided by the black spots of excrement. Basic measures:
- Clean the floors, especially near the baseboards.
- The tables are cleared of food and crumbs.
- The area under the sink also needs to be wiped. The trash can is disinfected, and garbage should not be stored indoors for long during the entire period of action of the drug.
- Shutting off water sources:
- if faucets are leaking, they are repaired;
- containers with liquids are covered with lids;
- The bathtub and sink, as well as the sink, are wiped dry before going to bed.
- To prevent cockroaches from escaping, you need to close their escape routes: fill cracks in the floor, walls, joints between pipes and concrete floors. The ventilation duct is covered with a fine-mesh grille.
To be able to apply the gel in remote places, you need to move the furniture away from the walls. Cabinets must be empty. The contents are removed, all containers and products can be left in the same room, but they should be sealed. This measure allows you to close access to any food.

Housing preparation
To get rid of arthropods, a sterile clean room is necessary. The lack of garbage creates uncomfortable conditions for the Prussians, and they reproduce worse.
Keep food wrapped in plastic bags, throw out trash promptly, and do not accumulate dishes in the sink. Before using the gel, be sure to do a thorough cleaning. Move furniture away from the walls. Wash:
- baseboards;
- pipes;
- batteries;
- gas stove;
- fridge.
Beat the carpets outside and clean them. Inspect your kitchen cabinets. Throw away any old food items and wipe down the shelves. Get rid of unnecessary things cluttering your apartment.
Fill the holes in the baseboards with sealant, close the gaps around sockets and switches, and glue the wallpaper. Cover the ventilation hole with a fine-mesh mesh. Repair faucets to prevent water leaks. Wipe the sink and bathroom dry, do not leave puddles on the floor.
