Gel and syringe gel Gel Clean House from cockroaches is a modern remedy with quick results, a composition that is safe for humans and animals. The active component is an insecticidal substance. Cockroaches are attracted by the smell of flavorings, and food additives force them to eat poison in large quantities. One infected insect infects up to 50 relatives. Massive death of the population is observed after several days of exposure to the drug.
Operating principle
Gel baits for cockroaches are laid out indoors in places where cockroaches are most concentrated, along the trajectory of their movement. Insects crawl to the smell of flavorings and try the “treat”. The presence of food additives and the absence of an immediate poisonous result forces cockroaches to repeatedly return to profit, dragging pieces of “food” into the nest of the larvae.
Infection occurs during contact with the Clean House gel, as well as when ingested. Mass death begins after 2-3 days, when almost the entire colony is infected. The gel does not lose its properties for up to 2 months, therefore it freely kills newly emerged larvae from the ooteca, preventing them from laying eggs.
On a note!
To increase the effectiveness of the Clean House gel, you need to keep the room clean and prevent cockroaches from eating other food. Place the drug in places where insects have been seen. If the bait is poorly positioned, it may remain untouched.
Advantages:
- efficiency;
- long-term exposure;
- safety for the environment;
- no unpleasant odor;
- economical consumption;
- affordable price.
When used, the gel goes unnoticed by humans, does not cause discomfort, and is easily removed without leaving marks on the surface.
There are no disadvantages when using the Clean House from Cockroaches gel correctly.
Clean House syringe gel for cockroaches and ants.
The insecticidal agent is a gel designed to combat synanthropic cockroaches and ants in facilities of various categories, industrial, residential, food, medical, and children's institutions by specialists from organizations that have the right to engage in disinfection activities and the population in everyday life (in accordance with the household label).
Application:
Against cockroaches and house ants: Open the package, apply the gel in a dotted line to the habitats, accumulations or movements of insects. To destroy cockroaches, treat places where they accumulate and move towards food and water - under the sink, baseboards, tile joints, ventilation vents, water and heating pipes, and other places. Apply the gel in 2 cm strips at 2 cm intervals. For high cockroach numbers, 1 pack per 25 sq.m. If the number of cockroaches is small, apply 2 cm of gel at intervals of 4-6 cm (1 package per area of about 30-35 sq.m.). To kill ants, use gel on their paths (“paths”) with an interval of 4 cm between strips of glue. One package is designed for an area of 40-45 sq.m of the surface to be treated. The death of cockroaches occurs on days 1-3, ants on the first day. Repeated treatments are recommended no earlier than after 3-4 weeks.
Against garden ants: To control ants in the garden, place dots or strips of gel on sheets of cardboard, which you place on ant “paths” and around the anthill. To destroy ants crawling onto the lower floors of houses and country houses, the gel is applied along the perimeter of the room with a dotted line: 2 cm of gel - 6 cm of untreated surface. For the best effect, it is recommended to treat the premises both along the internal perimeter and outside. Try to prevent moisture and dust from getting on the gel. Repeated treatment is recommended if the gel is washed off or if a new colony of ants appears, but not earlier than after 3 weeks, because the composition remains effective for up to 1 month.
Precautionary measures:
Direct contact with the substance and, especially, entry into the body should be avoided. The same goes for pets. If you have a cat or dog in your house, then try to make sure that it does not have direct access to the gel. When cleaning the premises, you should wear rubber gloves, and then wash your hands thoroughly with soap.
Release form
The drug is produced (Russia). The shelf life is 2 years from the date of manufacture, 12 months after first use. The gel retains its properties on the surface for 2 months, after which the product must be reapplied. The product is offered in a tube of 35 g, a syringe of 20 g. It is applied in a dotted line, the minimum amount is enough to treat an apartment of 20 square meters. m. Syringe-gel Clean House has a long tip for placing the drug in hard-to-reach places - cracks in the wall, under the floor, space under baseboards.
Mode of application
Cockroach gel is usually produced in a container shaped like a syringe with a thin long spout. This packaging makes it easy to apply the drug to any place, even the most difficult to reach. Some gel-like products can also be produced in tubes, for example, Global Gel-paste. We talked about its use in a separate article: Global gel paste is guaranteed to rid your home of cockroaches.
By squeezing out the contents of the syringe, the gel is applied in dotted lines to the baseboards around the perimeter of the apartment, as well as around places where insects are likely to live. You can also apply the drug to vertical surfaces and walls, having previously protected them with adhesive tape or tape. The distance between the drops of the gel should be no more than 1 cm. However, it can be increased to save up to 4 cm in case of low contamination of the apartment.
The gel remains active for 2 months. After this period, the processing can be repeated. You should not use one drug more than twice, as cockroaches may become accustomed to it.
You also need to be careful when applying to avoid possible contact of the toxic substance with the intestines and skin.
Compound
The active component of the Clean House gel is the broad-spectrum insecticidal substance chlorpyrifos 0.5%. Flavorings, food additives, and thickeners are used as auxiliary ingredients. The gel base does not dry for a long time, prolonging the effect of the poison up to 2 months.
Chlorpyrifos is a low-hazard substance; it does not mix with air, so it does not harm human health. Not harmful to animals if swallowed. Only cockroaches are in danger.
The principle of operation of a “Clean House” against parasites
The “Clean House” cockroach repellent works by distributing the active substance. So, the parasite, which is attracted by the smell of this drug, eats it and returns to other insects. He carries away particles of cockroach repellent on his paws. This is how the substance spreads; when the insect dies, the rest of the cockroaches eat it and are poisoned.
This substance also has a long-lasting effect, so it is difficult to get a quick effect when working with it. But the result will be stable, because the poison quickly spreads among insects, including larvae. The drug works for several months, and the insects die after a couple of days.
Here are several advantages of this drug compared to powders and aerosols:
- Long lasting effectiveness.
- A taste that insects like.
- Safety for people.
- Ease of use.
“Helpful advice: to apply the gel to vertical surfaces, it is better to use masking tape. This will help prevent the furniture from getting dirty. When it expires, you just need to remove the substance.”

Rules of application
The instructions provide for applying the drug in places where cockroaches are most likely to accumulate. Be sure to leave it along baseboards, behind furniture, near trash cans, sinks, washbasins, toilets, and on water pipes. If insects make their way into the apartment through the ventilation shaft, leave the gel there.
The product is applied in a dotted line every 5-10 cm. If the room is significantly infested, the distance is reduced. As the bait is eaten, the layer is renewed. Around the third day, insect activity decreases. This indicates the beginning of the drug’s action and the death of pests. To prevent re-infection, after 2 months the bait is removed and a new layer is applied.
On a note!
If the gel is difficult to squeeze out, it is recommended to warm up the tube a little by immersing it in hot water for a few minutes.
Features of application
- It is necessary to apply the gel not in a solid line, but in a dotted line; this will be quite enough to ensure effectiveness. It is necessary to apply on those surfaces where goosebumps are most often noticed.
- It is advisable to apply on surfaces on the way to their nests. If you don't know where they are, try following them. These insects walk along the same paths and do not run chaotically, so applying the substance along their route will not be difficult.
- Also pay attention to places such as the trash can, vents, the bottom of furniture, and baseboards. There is no need to hope that they will disappear instantly; the first results can be seen within 1-2 days, but complete destruction will take several days. If the premises are heavily infested, repeated treatment may be required, which is carried out after 20-30 days.
- Regarding safety for people and animals, the manufacturer added special components to the composition that are very bitter, so there is no need to be afraid that small children or animals will eat the pesticide. In addition, it is often applied in hard-to-reach places. The gel form prevents the release of toxic fumes, which also ensures safety.
- When treating an apartment, you can use another method of applying the gel. It is necessary to take, for example, small pieces of cardboard or plywood and apply the substance to them, and then place them in places where insects accumulate. This method can be used in the garden by placing cardboard boxes with the drug near the anthill.
Reviews
Reviews about the Clean House gel are contradictory.
We read on the Internet about the effectiveness of baits and bought Clean House gel. They laid it out in the kitchen behind the furniture, near the trash can, along the baseboards. Everything according to the instructions. We waited a week for the results. There were dead cockroaches, but they didn’t disappear completely. From my own experience I can say that first you need to carry out normal disinfestation, then spread out the gel bait to consolidate the result and prevent it. It is impossible to leave cockroaches without food - they are omnivores. Therefore, they are often not interested in “treats”.
Irina, Moscow
Lived in a hostel. The Prussians were found on the first floor. I noticed a couple of them in the room and bought an inexpensive Clean House gel bait. I put it along the baseboards, in the cabinet where the cereals were stored, under the table. I didn’t observe any invasion. It works, it helps.

Insect repellent powder “Clean House”
The “Clean House” cockroach repellent is also available in the form of a powder, which is sometimes called dust. It consists of the same toxic substances, but there are much less of them in powder than in gels. To increase the effectiveness of the drug, manufacturers added piperonyl butoxide to its composition. Of course, it is safe for parasites, but this component is able to activate the action of other potent substances.
The above-mentioned substance is dangerous for people, so you need to work with powder more carefully than with gel or aerosol. It is important to ensure that the substance does not enter the human body, and it should not be inhaled or swallowed.
One of the ways to use the powder is this: it is scattered over all surfaces and left there for several hours. You can also dilute the product in water and pour it into all the gaps and crevices.
Other forms of issuing funds
The company produces:
- traps for fighting cockroaches, which differ only in the presence of a body, the ability to be mounted in a horizontal or vertical position,
- aerosol,
- spray,
- dust,
- crayons.
To get quick results, it is recommended to combine several anti-prussian remedies. Aerosols have an instant effect; they will poison mature and immature individuals in 2 hours. Dusts and chalks are designed for long-term exposure - they will finish off newly emerging larvae. Gel and traps are laid out in the room after disinfestation. You can completely get rid of pests in 20-30 days.

Tools Overview
Aerosols differ from each other primarily by the manufacturer’s brand, name and active substance. The range of prices for drugs is quite large: some of them cost less than 100 rubles, while for others you will have to pay more than 500 rubles. Moreover, the low price does not mean that the drug is ineffective. Having considered the features of the main trade names and tried them in practice, you can choose “your” best product.
"Dichlorvos" (Produced in Russia)
Perhaps the most famous means of combating unwanted insects in the form of an aerosol, used in the post-Soviet space for several decades. Dichlorvos, despite its persistent and extremely unpleasant odor, received such popular love due to its high efficiency. This insecticide is sold in every hardware store at an affordable price.
Destruction of cockroaches
The protective barrier against cockroaches created by the aerosol lasts on average 2 weeks. It was achieved thanks to the nerve-paralytic effect of active substances that instantly destroy insects and remain on the surface for 14 days.
"Raptor" (China)
The Chinese-made aerosol is considered universal: it affects all insects that infect a person’s home and does not cause addiction to them. The insecticide contains three active ingredients:
- Peronyl butoxide, which enhances the effects of the other two components, which increases efficiency;
- Tetramethrin, which causes respiratory arrest after a cockroach comes into contact with it;
- Cypermethrin, which is a contact-intestinal poison. It began to be used recently, so insects have not yet developed resistance, and they are most vulnerable to this substance.
After contact with Raptor, the death of cockroaches occurs within 24 hours.
Combat Super Spray Plus (Russia)
This aerosol is produced in Russia, but using German technology by subsidiaries of the German company Henkel Home. The active ingredients included in its composition are imiprotrin and cyphenothrin. Manufacturers claim that they even penetrate the shell of cockroach eggs, which makes it much easier to control insects in the house. The product also has disinfectant properties: it kills harmful microorganisms, including mold fungi. One cylinder is enough for 65 m2. The convenient nozzle with which the cylinder is equipped helps to easily treat all cracks and crevices.
"Baron" Russia
Baron contact insecticide is produced in the form of a spray with a convenient dispenser. Its active ingredient is fipronil in a “lethal” concentration - a nerve poison that affects insects. When it gets on cockroaches, it penetrates their durable chitinous cover and leads to paralysis of the nervous and respiratory systems. The insect dies in a matter of seconds. The disadvantages of this product include its high price (the spray costs more than 1,100 rubles) and the inability to purchase it in brick-and-mortar stores: you will have to order “Baron” from the official website or from other online suppliers.
"Raid" (Russia)
The Reid brand of insecticidal products is quite popular and can be found on the shelf of almost every hardware store. The manufacturing plant is located in Russia, but the technology and formula are provided from the USA. The cost of the product is very affordable: 250–300 rubles.
The aerosol contains a whole combination of poisons, according to the chemical classification, belonging to the group of pyrethroids. They have a paralytic effect on the nervous system. Aerosol "Raid" has a prolonged effect: surviving individuals become sources of infection with toxic substances for others. Therefore, the home is protected for several months.
"Clean House" (Russia)
Aerosol “Clean House” is a modern Russian-made product aimed at fighting cockroaches. The positive effect is provided by the combination of two main substances: cypermethrin and tetramethrin, which lead to the rapid death of insects. In addition to the aerosol, the line of insecticidal products in the fight against cockroaches includes gel, chalk and dust in powder form.
Aerosols and sprays against cockroaches allow you to quickly treat entire rooms, including secluded corners. If one procedure is not enough, it must be repeated after 10–14 days. With repeated treatments, it is recommended to change the brand of the product so that insects do not develop immunity to the active substances. When you can’t get rid of cockroaches despite all your efforts, you will have to turn to specialists for help.
