Aerosol Cockroaches choose apartments and houses where comfortable conditions are created for them as their habitat. Not only are insects a nuisance to property owners, they are carriers of millions of bacteria. Many domestic and foreign manufacturers produce products aimed at pest control. One of them is Russian. Its extensive range includes aerosol Clean House from cockroaches.
On a note!
As a result of their research, scientists from France and America came to the conclusion that cockroaches living in concrete buildings cause the so-called “fatigue virus” in people. Doctors believe that microbes carried by “concrete inhabitants” suck vitality from the human body. As a result, premature aging occurs.
Features of the drug, principle of action
For many consumers, an aerosol product is the most preferable. The drug contains 2 active substances:
- cypermethrin (0.18%);
- tetramethrin (0.2%).
Both are poison for cockroaches. But, acting simultaneously, they enhance the effect and reduce addiction to the drug. In addition to active substances, the product contains: catalyst, solvent, synergist, propane-butane. When sprayed, Clean House blocks the functioning of the nervous system, causing paralysis in cockroaches, leading to death. Retains its properties on surfaces for 20 – 30 days. The product has a faint scent of chamomile, which is due to the presence of tetramethrin in the composition.
Peculiarities
The “Clean House” series of cockroach repellents can be found in all hardware stores in our country, as well as in neighboring countries. Some export these products, others manufacture them under license. Still others simply “mimic” a well-known manufacturer. There are several main reasons why users choose “Clean Home”.
- High efficiency . The product has a 100% effect. First, the adults die; before they die, they manage to infect their relatives, who did not have time to get to the feeder with the poison. The bait remains wet and attractive to the cockroaches for a long time, so the cockroaches hatched from the eggs eagerly eat the bait and soon die too. Thus, a single treatment gives a prolonged effect - thanks to this, both sexually mature individuals and a galaxy of young animals that have not yet had time to lay eggs are completely destroyed.
- Easy to use. Using the Clean Home series products is not particularly difficult. They are easily distributed over surfaces and cover a large area.
- Safety . Gels, sprays and powders are toxic to nasty insects, but are absolutely safe for people. The preparations contain a fragrance that repels domestic insects. And the taste of the product is quite bitter - this creates additional protection for children, incapacitated adults and pets.
- Low concentration of toxic substances . Even if the substance gets inside the human body, it will not cause serious deterioration in health. Although, of course, it is better to avoid this.
- Economical . One package of the product in any form is usually enough to destroy Prussians on an area of up to 40 square meters. m.
- Width of assortment . The insecticide is available in a variety of forms - from a gel syringe to sprays and traps.
Advantages and disadvantages
Advantages of the drug:
- The effect of the product is noticeable almost instantly. The death of insects occurs within two days. If you add powder to the aerosol, the effect is enhanced, and even a new generation of cockroaches will not be able to survive. Pests can be completely destroyed in 2 weeks.
- Low cost. The price per can is about 320 rubles.
- Ease of use. A clean house goes on sale ready-made; it is enough to follow the steps according to the attached instructions for use.
- The aerosol does not leave stains after use. They are used to treat upholstered furniture.
- No unpleasant odor.
The disadvantage of the Clean House aerosol is that it does not affect the larvae in the ooteca.
Gel “Clean House”
The main active ingredient is chlorpyrifos . An important feature is that the bait is flavored with flavoring additives (chocolate, vanilla), which makes it especially attractive and is perceived by insects as a food product. The poison getting inside kills the insect in 2-3 days. Since cockroaches devour each other, a chain reaction occurs and more than one insect dies.
The gel is easy to use and is the main preference when choosing. It is applied with a dotted line (2 cm x 2 cm) to the habitats, accumulations or movements of cockroaches. Can be applied to substrates (strips of thick paper, lids from cans or bottles, etc.). Release forms: tube or syringe.
The product is not toxic or dangerous to people or pets, but measures should be taken to isolate baits from pets. One package is designed for an area of 30-35 sq.m.
The poison, getting inside, kills the insect in 2-3 days.
The effective effect of the gel is short-term, 1-2 weeks. The gel dries out at room temperature and becomes less attractive to cockroaches. Therefore, you should change the substrates with the applied gel, or apply a new portion of the substance to existing substrates. Repeated treatments are required.

Insecticide release forms
The “Clean House” product has several forms of release. Let's look at each of them in more detail.
Aerosol
Aerosol against cockroaches is considered a universal form of release. Thanks to its penetration into the smallest crevices, it can destroy entire colonies of parasites. The aerosol is produced in cylinders with special nozzles (volumes - 150 and 600 ml).
You will have to treat the areas where insects are most concentrated:
- Floors under furniture;
- Skirting boards;
- Walls behind furniture;
- The space behind/under the radiators, refrigerator, washbasin, sink, washing machine;
- Gaps and cracks in the floor and walls;
- Water risers;
- Pipes in the bathroom.
The “Clean House” aerosol is sprayed at a distance of 30 cm from the surface. The product does not leave streaks or marks, so it can be safely applied to upholstered furniture. In addition, it has an instant effect - cockroaches die in a few minutes.
Important! Do not use aerosol to treat clothes and children's toys!
Spray
Spray “Clean Home” is a product that is completely ready for use and does not leave stains or marks on soft surfaces. Suitable for chasing fleeing insects.
Gel
This form of insecticide has also worked well. The gel has a fairly thick consistency and is available in syringes of 20 and 35 grams. It is applied with dotted lines on previously prepared surfaces (both horizontal and vertical). This remedy is effective only when there are few cockroaches. With numerous colonies, it is more advisable to use more radical drugs.

Important! The Clean House gel contains a high concentration of poison, so working with it requires special care.
Traps
“Clean House” traps are a small box with holes through which insects can easily get in and out. The trap contains a poison that has a delayed effect. Having been inside the box, the cockroach spreads the insecticide on its legs and infects other individuals. This product is absolutely safe for pets. Firstly, they simply cannot get to the poison itself, and secondly, it has no odor.
The kit includes adhesive tape along with the trap, with which it can be placed vertically (for example, on the wall behind a cabinet or refrigerator).
Advice! Place traps in all cockroach habitats and change them every 2 months.
Reviews
According to reviews of the Clean House aerosol, the best results can be achieved if there are not too many Prussians in the apartment.
When I discovered cockroaches in my apartment, I was scared. I've never seen them before. She ran to the nearest store. The seller advised me to buy Clean House aerosol. She told me to read the instructions carefully and do everything in accordance with them. Which is what I did. The cockroaches are gone and I don't see them anymore.
Tatiana, Alushta
A clean house in the form of an aerosol simply saved our apartment from cockroaches. True, on the advice of friends, I supplemented it with powder. We were pleased with the result.
Lisa, Artemovsk
I do not recommend buying Clean House products; the aerosol did not help me at all. First I saw cockroaches lying around and did the cleaning (all according to the instructions). A week later they appeared again.
Inga, Chelyabinsk
Instructions for using the aerosol
Before using the product, it is necessary to remove all products into sealed containers and out of reach. The treatment is carried out in the absence of children and pets. You can bring them into the house only after complete ventilation.
It is advisable to wear gloves and protect the respiratory tract with a bandage. It is recommended to spray the aerosol along the entire lower perimeter of the room. Gaps and ventilation channels require special attention.
After the procedure, you should close all windows and leave the house for 2-3 hours. Next, the room is ventilated, and the dead insects are swept into the trash bin. It is advisable to carry out wet cleaning using any cleaning products.
Other products against cockroaches
The brand produces products not only in the form of aerosols. Buyers can purchase:
- traps;
- crayons;
- powder;
- gel;
- spray.

Dust - insecticide "Clean House"
The drug is in powder form. Ingredients: cypermethrin, malathion, synergist piperonyl butoxide. Two forms of application have found use in everyday life. The first is in the form of a powder, which is scattered in a thin layer behind the furniture, in the cracks, and laid out on substrates. The second is in the form of an aqueous solution, since the powder is water-soluble. Advantage is given to the first method of application. The drug is toxic due to the use of piperonyl butoxide in its composition, which imposes restrictions on its use. It is necessary to take precautions - wear gloves and protect your respiratory system. Dust powder is used as an addition to the main method of treating a room against cockroaches, or as a preventive measure.
The drug is toxic, precautions must be taken.
Analogs
Analogues of the drug Clean House, which contain the active ingredient cypermethrin, are:
- Raptor.
- Fas.
- Battalion commander
- Raid.

Each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages. The principle of action is the same - paralysis and death of parasites. The toxic substance should be used strictly according to the instructions.
User reviews will help you decide on the right drug. It is advisable to purchase products from official distributors.
Means and their use
Under the Clean House brand, complex insecticides of various forms are produced - gels, aerosols, sprays, pencils, powders and traps. They destroy cockroaches, and in addition, expel bedbugs, ants, flies and many other pests from the house. The gel is most effective in fighting cockroaches. But if the population of Prussians is large, then it is best to combine several varieties of this insecticide.
Gel “Clean House” is produced in a tube. The main active ingredients are fipronil and imidacloprid. To combat cockroaches, apply in strips. This method completely eliminates the entry of toxic substances into the human respiratory system, since the active components of the gel do not enter the air. Can be applied in both horizontal and vertical planes. The gel in a syringe is very popular, allowing for targeted application; this composition is convenient to apply under baseboards and into the smallest crevices.
Gel preparations give an effect already on the first day of use; within a day after use, you can notice many dead individuals. Within 5 days, up to 90% of cockroaches are destroyed. Gel tags work for another 1.5-2 months. However, over time, the sticky surface becomes covered in debris and dust and the functionality of the product decreases, so it is advisable to reapply the treatment every couple of weeks.
The “Clean House” gel is applied pointwise to areas of maximum concentration of barbels at intervals of 3-5 cm. The gel can also be used to create glue traps. In this case, the composition is applied along the perimeter of cardboard or plastic substrates, any bait is placed in the center and slipped into the localization areas of the Prussians.
Powders
The active components of the powder are tetramethrin, cypermethrin, and piperonyl butoxide. These substances have a nerve-paralytic effect on Prussians. When it comes into contact with the chitinous cover, the powder causes nervous system dysfunction in the pest and blocks impulses. The result is muscle paralysis, leading to early death. The effect is not immediate, so the barbel manages to return to areas where its relatives are concentrated and infect other Prussians. As a result, entire colonies become infected within a couple of days, after which their mass extinction occurs.
Dusts have a similar effect; they can remain on the treated surface for months. Active components do not decompose under the influence of high temperatures and direct ultraviolet radiation.
To neutralize the poison, you will have to collect the powder and thoroughly wash the areas of application with soap and soda solution.
The advantages of powders include:
- ease of use:
- prolonged action;
- no pungent odor;
- economical consumption;
- affordable price.
There are also disadvantages:
- the powder stains the surfaces being treated;
- does not allow poison to be applied to pipelines, walls and furniture;
- with prolonged use, Prussians develop resistance to the active components of the composition.
When used in large volumes, powder particles disperse through the air. This can lead to an allergic reaction and respiratory problems. To prevent this from happening, the dust can be used in the form of a liquid suspension - for this, it is diluted with water, poured into a bottle with a spray bottle and sprayed over surfaces. This method is especially effective for disinfecting crevices and small cracks.
Keep in mind that cockroaches are extremely resilient. Therefore, to exterminate them, an impressive dose of insecticide is required; in this regard, “Clean House” is considered the most profitable drug. But be careful: the use of powder is not recommended for all rooms where children and pets live.
Crayons
The crayons contain alpha-cypermethrin. To achieve maximum effect, wide stripes 4 or more centimeters thick are applied to places where cockroaches move and in areas where they accumulate . The advantages include the ability to use on any surface - vertical, horizontal, rounded and embossed. This composition has all the main pros and cons of dusts and powders.
Operating principle
Cockroach trap Clean Home is a combination of effective insecticides with flavors and food additives.
The discs consist of a gel substance that is resistant to external factors - temperature, sunlight. Poisonous properties last up to 2 months. Cockroaches are attracted to the smell of fragrances. Pests eat the poison with a huge appetite, thanks to the presence of food additives. The poison does not act immediately, so insects eat it without fear and carry it to secluded places for the larvae. Approximately on the third day, mass poisoning begins, the death of the pest population. After 7-14 days, a new generation of larvae appears, which also gradually die out before they have time to lay eggs.
Dust or powder from cockroaches Clean House is a nerve agent. If it gets on the chitinous cover, it causes dysfunction of the nervous system and muscle paralysis. Death occurs within a few minutes. It does not have an immediate effect, so the cockroach has time to return to the nest and stain its relatives. Within a couple of days, an entire family becomes infected, and then mass extinction begins.
Dust Clean House on the treated surface can remain for months. Active components do not disintegrate under the influence of temperature and sunlight. To eliminate the poison, you need to collect the powder and wash the application areas with soap and soda solution.
How do traps work?
Once inside the trap, the cockroach eats the poison particles. At the same time, the poison remains on its paws. Thus, one specimen infects the rest of its relatives, “cross-pollination” occurs, and the entire flock dies within a few days.
The validity period of one trap is 2 months. Users note the ease of use. The box can be placed under the kitchen unit or installed on any horizontal surface using adhesive tape.
