Anti-cockroach gel Global: description and reviews

1. Different Global preparations for cockroaches - general properties
2. Globol - the legendary gel, fatal to cockroaches Method of use Global gel

Among the huge number of gels for cockroaches, a group of products with similar names stands out: Globol, Global gel for cockroaches, Global and Exil. The well-known drug Globol has been effectively fighting pests for several decades, but now it is not clear what these gels are or whether they are the same.

Different Global preparations for cockroaches - general properties

All of these products contain one active ingredient, but various fragrances and auxiliary components. The principle of operation is similar.

5 reasons for the effectiveness of Global gels against cockroaches:

1. Effective for a long time, even after drying or expiration date.
2. An appetizing fragrance and flavoring agent for cockroaches, but incredibly bitter to avoid ingestion by humans or animals.
3. Delayed destruction of insects - pests eat tasty poison, but do not die immediately, managing to share the bait with their relatives with particles of gel that adhere to the body and legs.
4. Convenient to use - the gel-like substance is easily applied even to vertical surfaces, easily washed off, leaving virtually no traces.
5. The destruction of cockroaches occurs through a chain reaction - the insects poison themselves, plus they infect relatives in the nest.

The drug is produced in tubes, syringes, and traps. The thin nose of the syringe allows you to apply the product even to hard-to-reach places, in cracks or on the back walls of furniture, this allows you to use the paste-like substance sparingly.

Aerosol spray and Globol traps against cockroaches

In addition to the gel, the Globol line also contains other types of products for killing cockroaches. For example, some people choose an aerosol. In this form, globol is available in 400 ml bottles.

Treating a room with an aerosol is easy. The main thing is to free it from animals and people, as well as remove food waste and unnecessary things, tightly close the windows and doors. Next, you need to shake the can well, put on a protective mask and spray the product on different surfaces at a distance of about 15 cm

Particular attention should be paid to those places where cockroaches can find food or where they go to drink. This:

• bath,
• shower cabin,
• kitchen sink,
• toilet,
• place for a trash can,
• sewer pipes,
• hoods,
• corridor, etc.

Just do not apply Global to the walls of the kitchen or the table where you eat, cook, etc. After finishing the treatment, leave the room for 3-4 hours.
When you return, ventilate it, but do not start wet cleaning. You can wipe with a damp cloth with a little detergent only those surfaces that you and other household members frequently come into contact with. There are also traps in the Globol or Exil line of products. They are usually used in addition to a gel or aerosol. Some place them at home as a preventive measure, so that some wandering Prussian scout gets caught in it, or rather, eats the poison and infects the rest of his relatives.

What do Globall traps look like? These are small box stations with holes in the walls, which allows mustachioed pests to get inside without obstacles. What attracts cockroaches there is a delicacy that contains a substance that is poisonous and lethal to arthropods. Cockroaches cannot resist tasting it. It smells too good. As a result, these nasty insects easily become infected and die after some time.

As for the instructions for use, they must come with the product, regardless of its release form. Please read it carefully before processing!

For reference! Globol traps alone can be used only in cases where there are few “whiskered” ones. If the population of cockroaches has grown, then for destruction you will need to use a gel or aerosol of the same brand.

Globol - the legendary gel, fatal to cockroaches

First on the list and by production date is Globol. This is a drug produced in Germany, known for its effectiveness, but it has not been on store shelves since 2013-2016, and the remaining samples have expired. There are also samples called New Globol.

The cockroach gel produced by Global was dark brown in color and had a pleasant cocoa aroma. Thanks to special plasticizing additives and cocoa butter, Global paste remained moist and attractive to insects for at least a month. There was a security hologram on the packaging.

The main active ingredient is chlorpyrifos, an insecticide with a broad spectrum of action, effective at a minimum concentration. This substance has a contact-intestinal effect, suppresses the nervous system, paralyzes insects, and blocks nerve impulses.

The product was effective not only against most types of cockroaches, but also against ants. One tube (75 g) was enough for 60-100 m² to completely clean the room.

An important condition for the quick and effective destruction of pests was the absence of food residues and damp places so that hungry insects absorb more bait. And thirst increased the speed of exposure to the poison and enhanced its neuroleptic effect.

Pests not only absorb the delicious bait, but also carry particles of poison on their legs and body, treating their relatives with it. Due to this, infection of the Global population with cockroach gel occurs through a chain mechanism.

Method of application Global gel

The tube is slightly warmed up using your hands or warm water. The product is applied in drops, dotted lines, onto substrates made of thick paper, plastic or similar material, which are placed in insect habitats at a distance of 20-50 cm.

It is recommended to place poisonous baits near cracks, under furniture and appliances, in warm and damp places. Repeated treatment (replacement of substrates) is carried out once a month, with a large concentration of cockroaches every 3 weeks.

Fighting cockroaches

Cooking in the vicinity of cockroaches is not the most pleasant experience. Longhorned beetles manage to chew through plastic bags and get into refrigerators. At night, the kitchen turns into their kingdom. If you suddenly turn on the light at night, you can see them crawling along tables, floors and walls. And what can we say about what it’s like to eat when these parasites are running around the table!

People have been struggling with cockroaches for a long time. Many means of destroying them and security measures have been invented to prevent them from appearing. Unfortunately, not all means give the desired result. The main problem with all poisons is insect resistance. If some insecticide has already been used several times, then there is a high probability that repeated treatment with the same drug will no longer be effective.

Using insecticidal chalk as an example, it was noticed how quickly insects get used to them. However, there are other drugs. Among them are:

1. Aerosols,
2. Traps,
3. Gels.

Unfortunately, they also have similar disadvantages. In addition to becoming addictive, the products can be dangerous for people and animals. Aerosols can affect the health of those living in the house, but they cannot have any effect on cockroach eggs.

Cockroaches: types, features, what they look like and how to distinguish them. Where do cockroaches leave apartments and why do they appear again? Do domestic cockroaches bite?

Cockroach gels are considered especially effective. There are many brands of these drugs, which differ from each other in price and quality. An example of a remedy for cockroaches is Global gel.

Exil (Globol) – a successful successor

According to official information, due to the large number of counterfeits, Globol gel has undergone rebranding and has become Exil gel since 2021. This is a light green color and odorless gel.

The kit, unlike the previous version, does not include a spout for application. The gel is produced in Russia, under a German license, in 75 g tubes.

The main active ingredient is identical to the Global gel, as is its concentration, but the other components are different. 1 tube is designed for a room of up to 75 m², the product is valid for up to six months.

Sold with a certificate of conformity.

Method of use

Apply with a dotted line on the substrate or in places where insects are located. The effect is noticeable after 2 days, complete destruction of the population in the treated area after a few weeks. To destroy the last generation of pests or wandering Prussians, repeat the treatment after a month.

How to treat a room

Before starting to treat the room with Global gel, it is recommended to warm the tube with the product with the warmth of your hands, and also slightly knead it so that it acquires good plasticity. This will make it much more convenient to work with him.

There are two ways to remove red longhorned beetles using Global gel:

• Determine the places where cockroaches most often appear and directly from the tube, lightly squeezing the gel, apply it in drops in these places. Usually the space behind cabinets and chests of drawers, baseboards, kitchen furniture, door jambs, plumbing fixtures, water pipes, as well as all cracks and crevices in walls and floors are treated. Apply the gel in drops of approximately half a centimeter, with a distance of 10–20 cm between them.
• Cut thin pieces of paper 1-2 cm long, apply a few drops of gel on them and then spread these strips in all suspected areas where cockroaches live.

One treatment of the premises is usually more than enough to remove all the Prussians, but it is still recommended to repeat this procedure after 2-3 months so that new fighters of the insect front do not replace the fallen comrades. In addition, if the processing was not very thorough, some cockroaches may survive.

Local alternative or Globol

The product, developed by Kharkov craftsmen, bears little resemblance to the German original, not only in the color of the packaging, but also in the main active ingredient. The color and aroma of the drug are different - a colorless paste with a pleasant herbal aroma.

Global cockroach gel is produced in tubes (100 g) and convenient syringes (40 g). There are cardboard traps (30 g) and aerosols. One package is enough for a room at the rate of 1 g per 1 m².

Instructions for use Global gel made in Ukraine

The method of application is similar - spot application in pest habitats, on substrates or directly on surfaces (furniture, appliances, pipes). The more thoroughly you apply the product, the faster the substance will begin to act.

But within a few hours the first individuals will appear, which will look inhibited and crawl without fear. Almost the entire colony will be destroyed in 2 weeks. To exclude the appearance of young insects from eggs or defectors from neighbors, the bait should be renewed after 3 weeks.

It is important that the room does not contain strongly fragrant substances and places where pests can find water or sources of moisture - hungry insects will greedily absorb the fragrant and moist bait.

The usual safety measures are to exclude access to the poisonous gel to people or animals, plus work with the insecticide only in protective equipment.

Room treatment methods

Before using the Global cockroach gel, it is recommended to warm it up. To do this, knead the tube with the drug slightly in your palms. After such simple manipulations, the product acquires good plasticity, which ensures ease of application. There are two ways to treat premises with the drug:

1. Identify areas of greatest concentration of cockroaches and treat them. To do this, you need to apply a few drops of the gel at intervals of 10-20 cm, squeezing it out of the tube. Cockroaches prefer damp, warm places with dim lighting. They like to hide behind furniture, in cracks in walls, floors and baseboards, in door frames, and near plumbing fixtures and water pipes. And ants make paths to any open foods, especially sweet ones and those with a strong odor.
2. Use special substrates for the drug. You can buy them or make them yourself by cutting paper strips. The gel is applied to the substrates in a dotted line and placed in places most suitable for pests.

After application, the drug will work for about a month, continuing to destroy the Prussians. One high-quality treatment is usually enough to clean your home from insects. However, manufacturers recommend repeating the measures after 2-3 weeks to consolidate the effect and infect the newly hatched generation.

Comparative characteristics of Global drugs against cockroaches

Precautionary measures

Although the manufacturer guarantees safety, precautions should be taken because chlorpyrifos is a real poison. If the dose is exceeded, it causes severe intoxication. The main danger of the gel is for pets, as it tastes sweet. A large animal will not die; it is in danger of being poisoned. A small cat or dog may die if it licks a large amount of gel.

When working with Global from cockroaches, you must wear rubber gloves. It does not affect the skin, but there is a danger of contact with the mucous membrane. This may lead to:

• nausea;
• urge to vomit;
• stomach pain.

Getting the Global cockroach gel into the eyes is considered especially dangerous, which can lead to serious consequences. Its activity in places of use remains for 4 months.

Features of the drugs

Today, there are many different pest control chemicals on store shelves. Gels are quite popular. Consumers are attracted by their ease of use, high safety, and lack of odor.

But are they really that effective? In fact, gel against bedbugs and cockroaches can help, but only if the infection is not too severe. That is, if there are not yet many bugs in the apartment, the remedy will be effective. If the population has already grown significantly, it is recommended to use gel-based preparations in combination with other insecticides.

It should also be noted that gels do not act immediately after application to the surface. As a rule, the first insects begin to die only after 2-3 days, and their complete destruction occurs no earlier than after 2-3 weeks.

Varieties on the market

There are many different gels on the market today designed to kill parasites. All of them are suitable for use at home.

Most of the drugs are universal, i.e. act not only on bedbugs, but on other domestic insects. For example, Dohlox gel against bedbugs has the inscription on the packaging: “from all types of cockroaches and ants.” But at the same time, it also works on bedbugs.

Let's list the most popular gels: Absolute. Absolute is a gel against bedbugs, the main feature of which is complete safety for people and animals. Because of this, it is often used in homes where children live. The drug has a pleasant aroma and a light brown transparent consistency.

The active ingredient is 0.5% chlorpyrifos. Remains active for 4 months from the moment of application to the surface. One tube of 20 mg of Absolute is enough to treat a room of 30 square meters.

The product is used very economically, as it is in a syringe. The insecticide is applied in dotted lines: there should be a distance of about 2 cm between the stripes.

Global Global bedbug gel also contains chlorpyrifos. When a bug comes into contact with a substance, death does not occur immediately, but after some time. The affected parasite manages to spread the drug among other individuals.

You need to use the drug like this: cut several paper strips 20 cm long, apply gel to them, after which the pieces of paper are laid out near places where insects are likely to live.

The manufacturer recommends repeating the treatment after 3-4 weeks to protect yourself from the reappearance of insects in the house.

Forsyth. Forsyth gel against bedbugs is made on the basis of 0.25% fenthion and 0.03% alphacypermethrin. The drug also contains food attractants, preservatives and stabilizers.

The product is absolutely non-toxic, safe for people and animals. It paralyzes the nervous system of an adult, however, it does not affect the eggs. Therefore, treatment must be carried out several times with intervals of 2-3 weeks. Blockbuster. Blockbuster is a gel against cockroaches and bedbugs, belongs to a group of drugs containing fipronil. In addition to getting rid of bedbugs and cockroaches, the product perfectly fights ants in residential areas.

The drug is quite powerful - insects die on the second day after use. Maintains effectiveness for 2-3 months. Battalion commander Combat gel for bedbugs is a viscous substance containing poison. For ease of application, the drug is placed in a syringe. Suitable for treating any surface, applied in a thin layer.

The product is suitable for cases where the infestation is large and immediate removal of parasites is not required.

Where to buy these drugs in Moscow, St. Petersburg and other cities. They are sold in veterinary pharmacies or hardware stores. The tables below show store addresses and prices:

Selecting an alternative

What to do if you were unable to buy a gel against cockroaches, ants, bedbugs, and you just need an odorless product. There is an alternative. When you visit hardware stores, you are likely to find many other insecticides that do not have a strong aroma.

Unscented bedbug gel has the following alternatives:

1. Dusts such as “Clean House”, “Brownie”, “Pyrethrum”. These drugs either have no odor at all or have a faint and unobtrusive odor. They are not very effective against insects, but can help with mild infestations. The principle of their action is as follows: accidentally falling on the body of the parasite, the substance has a contact effect, penetrating through the chitinous cover and poisoning the bug. But the product itself does not attract parasites, so you need to try to get it on the insect’s body - they will probably avoid the scattered dust.
2. Chalk "Mashenka" or its analogues. The principle of operation is the same as that of dusts, but due to the possibility of applying it to vertical surfaces, it can be used on walls, furniture, and headboards. Therefore, Mashenka’s effectiveness is, as a rule, higher than that of powdered products. All the same, just using it is problematic to get rid of pests, except perhaps to reduce their number in the apartment.
3. Get is a microencapsulated drug, no worse than a gel barrier against bedbugs. The product is an aqueous concentrate of finely dispersed chlorpyrifos. Small granules can remain on the surface for a long time and easily stick to the legs of insects. After contact, the substance enters the body, which leads to poisoning. The drug is very effective in cases where it is not possible to set a trap for bloodsuckers, as it has a high ability for contact action.

Instructions for use of insecticide

The drug is low-toxic and does not cause harm to humans and pets.

REFERENCE! To discourage animals from eating the delicious-smelling gel, a special bitter substance is added to Globol.

It should be remembered that despite the low level of toxicity, the main component of the Global drug is a toxic substance, so it is recommended to store the packaging out of the reach of children and open the gel immediately before use. Disinsection should be carried out wearing protective gloves.

How to use?

Before starting work, knead the tube of gel until soft.

You can apply the paste in different ways:

1. dotted line (distance between points 5-10 cm) directly on the surface;
2. Squeeze the paste pointwise onto thick sheets of cardboard and place it in hard-to-reach places (on cabinets, behind the refrigerator, behind household appliances).

This method is suitable for treating an apartment where small children live in order to limit their possibility of contact with poison.

Where to apply the gel:

1. on the thresholds of the bathroom or toilet to block the path to the water for insects;
2. on the baseboards behind the stove, refrigerator, i.e. to places where cockroaches have something to eat;
3. next to the sink, pipes (water and sewer);
4. along the perimeter of the ventilation grilles.

Strips of cardboard with gel are laid out according to the same principle: in places where cockroaches are most concentrated.

To achieve maximum results, all three types of the drug are used:

1. First, you need to treat the surfaces with an aerosol (you can spray upholstered furniture, the interior surfaces of cabinets, where gel cannot be applied).
2. Then coat the room with gel, which will finish off the hordes of cockroaches, and also, due to the duration of its destructive action, the young shoots hatched from the eggs.
3. And, finally, use traps to prevent further occurrence of parasites in the apartment.

Advantages and disadvantages of the drug

Advantages:

• pleasant chocolate smell that does not require long-term ventilation of the room after treatment;
• low toxicity class;
• commercial availability;
• the drug is hypoallergenic;

We also suggest that you familiarize yourself with other remedies for cockroaches: Dohlox, Executioner, Regent, Karbofos, Fas, Raptor, Forsyth, Mashenka, Get, Combat, Cucaracha, Raid, Clean House.

Methods of destroying Prussians

Now there are a great variety of drugs aimed at eliminating cockroaches. They all have their pros and cons.

European quality against the Prussians

In order not to make a mistake in choosing an effective product, you need to be guided by reviews, evaluate the conditions that are favorable for the appearance of insects in your home: the location of garbage containers, the state of communication systems, etc.

Unique drug Global

One of the recognized drugs is the German drug - Global cockroach gel. Efficiency and optimality are guaranteed thanks to traditional German quality and many years of experience of the manufacturer.

Functional essence of globol cockroach remedy

German manufacturers chose chlorpyrifos as the active ingredient of this product.

The pest, after contact with the global cockroach product, is affected by chlorpyrifos. It does not die at the same moment, but spreads its grains to the location of its colony. In other words, only a few individuals, in contact with the gel, can exterminate a large family.

The global gel gained its uniqueness thanks to special additions.

What is the success and popularity of globol schaben paste

75g tubes are enough to treat 60 meters of area

• Global cockroach repellent is available in an easy-to-use, measured tube - 75 g. This mass is enough to treat a room of up to 60 square meters.
• The convenient form of manufacture, in the form of a gel, makes it possible to easily apply the product to the desired areas, preventing rapid drying. Easily washed off from surfaces.
• The prolonged effect on pests lasts a month. A noticeable effect is visible after just a few days after the start of the procedure. Cockroaches crawl into areas accessible to humans during the daytime, moving with a noticeable lack of coordination. A large-scale epidemic appears within one to two weeks.
• Effective bait: high content of natural honey and chocolate attracts pests.
• The predominant advantage of the product is the absence of a specific odor. In contrast to other drugs against cockroaches, which, if used in violation of the instructions, cause intoxication in households, globol gel does not pose any danger. The product is absolutely hypoallergenic and does not cause side effects in case of unintentional contact.

Step-by-step instruction

Before you start using the drug for its intended purpose, you should gently knead it in your hands to give the gel additional plasticity. Then proceed to treat the room, applying the contents of the tube to places where pests are large: sewer pipes, spaces under window sills, baseboards, kitchen furniture.

In addition to the traditional method, you can resort to building baits. To do this, you need to cut narrow strips of paper and apply drops of the product on them.

Multifunctionality of the product

Effective against many types of insects

Of the many ant gels, globol is perhaps the most effective drug. When protecting against ants, one drop is enough, which can kill up to 500 insects.

In addition, the number of victims that this product copes well with includes insects such as mosquitoes, flies, various kinds of midges, spiders and other pests.
