Smoke bomb “Quiet Evening” for bedbugs

The principle of operation of the “Quiet Evening” checker

The checker is a canister similar to an aerosol. At the top there is a wick for ignition. The active component of the checker is permethrin. The nervous system of parasites is designed in such a way that under the influence of this substance the insect dies.

Once ignited, the saber begins to spread toxic smoke, forming a thick cloud. The substance itself does not burn; the method is based on the smoldering of the component. The checker works independently; it does not need to be moved around the apartment. Smoke sneaks into the most inaccessible corners, saturating furniture and carpeting. The process lasts about 15 minutes. The toxic substance settles on all surfaces and retains its properties until the next cleaning of the room.

Note! The toxic substance in the smoke bomb does not affect bedbug eggs.

Carrying out a one-time procedure does not mean that the parasites will disappear completely. Very soon, their young will begin to hatch from the laid eggs. Therefore, disinfestation is carried out again after 10-14 days.

Chemical composition and principle of action

Smoke bomb - troublesome to use, but highly effective

Smoke bomb 120 g is a simple smoke release device consisting of a unique chemical smoke mixture. In appearance it resembles a cylinder with a diameter of 40 mm, a height of 100 mm, made of metal material with a hole at the top. It is used in agriculture and at home for disinfestation.

Unique smoke composition includes:

wax;
does not contain highly toxic compounds;
does not include carcinogenic substances (benzopyrenes, dioxins).

The advantage of a smoke bomb is that the key chemical component - mermethrin, the mass fraction of which is 10%, is not located in the place of direct combustion of the pyrotechnic composition. Therefore, it does not disintegrate when exposed to high temperatures during combustion. This leads to the most effective result, which lasts – 14 days indoors, 3 days outdoors.

Where can it be used?

During use, the insecticide forms a dense smoke screen that penetrates into door cracks and ventilation holes. The use of this method of combating bedbugs in an apartment building requires at least coordination with neighbors. Wet rags and other methods will not stop the poison fumes, so using this product in an apartment is not recommended.

Most of all, this treatment is suitable for country houses, cottages, basements, sheds, and greenhouses. Non-residential premises are the best option for using the “Quiet Evening” smoke bomb.

Information for the curious

Chemical preparations based on permethrin have a contact-intestinal effect. The speed of impact on the insect body is very high. The mechanism of action of the synthetic drug is simple; it is a neutropic poison and has a reliable effect on the central and peripheral nervous system of arthropods. The poison also affects both the insect itself and its laid eggs.

Permethrin does not degrade when exposed to direct sunlight and high temperatures. When using, you need to take into account that it is a strong poison for bees and other beneficial insects. When poisoning warm-blooded animals, this chemical causes aggression and hyperactivity. If the drug enters the human body, it is neutralized by the liver.

If there is a high prevalence of bedbugs, we recommend giving preference to this method of fighting bloodsuckers. This is not only highly effective, but also economically feasible.

Preparation for use

The smoke produced by the saber is highly toxic. Before treating an apartment with smoke, the following rules must be observed:

There should be no people or animals in the treated area.
Plants must be removed from the room.
Aquariums must be covered with glass or film. The main thing is to minimize the possibility of penetration of toxic fumes.
Door and window cracks should be sealed with a damp cloth or cling film. The ventilation hole must also be insulated.
Upholstered furniture and complex interior items should be disassembled to facilitate the access of toxic fumes to elements that were previously closed.
Open the cabinet doors. You can leave your clothes, but be sure to wash them after treatment.
Remove food items from the premises.
Close doors and windows as tightly as possible.
If possible, move furniture away from the walls.
To avoid a false alarm, turn off the fire alarm.

Processing security

The following precautions apply when handling smoke:

The treatment is carried out wearing a mask, goggles and a work coat. After work they take a shower.
The bowl in which the checker is burning must have sufficient volume. In order not to spoil the floor, it is installed on a stand.
The cat should not be allowed to eat dead cockroaches. This causes poisoning of the animal, since cats are sensitive to the insecticide in the drug.

Smoke bombs are a powerful way to kill cockroaches. They quickly and permanently rid your home of insects

These drugs are highly toxic and precautions must be taken when using them

Instructions for use

Prepare a stand for the checker from a non-flammable material. A brick, a metal tray, or a glass stand will do.
Pour water into a ceramic or glass container. The water level doesn't matter. The main thing is that it should not be larger than the checker itself.
Place a smoke bomb in a container with water.
Install the structure in the center of the room.
Light the checker fuse.

After the checker begins to smoke, you need to leave the room as quickly as possible, tightly closing the door behind you. The duration of combustion of one bomb is about 1.5 hours. After this time, you should not enter the room for another 2-3 hours, since the concentration of poisons in the air is still high.

The final stage of the process is wet cleaning. To do this, you need to wash the floors and wipe dust everywhere. Clean the furniture with a wet cloth. In this case, the water needs to be changed as often as possible. Blankets, rugs, capes - everything that can be washed. The apartment needs to be well ventilated.

Instructions for use

The principle of operation of “Quiet Evening” is based on warming up, and not on igniting the saber. Within a short time, a large amount of the active substance will evenly fill the treated area. For example, within 4 minutes dense smoke fills an area of 1000 m3. The advantage is that permethrin will spread to even the most difficult to reach areas.

Features of use in open areas

A smoke bomb is a universal tool. Suitable for fighting both bedbugs and mosquitoes

This nuance is relevant, for example, if furniture and other large items are taken outside for treatment against bedbugs. Place the cylindrical block horizontally on a fireproof surface. Pay attention to the direction of the wind, this will help prevent smoke from blowing in your direction. Light the wick, which will smolder for several minutes. During this time, the processed open space can reach 300 m2. When using several checkers at the same time, the distance between them must be at least 20 m.

Remember! Correct use of this insecticide is guaranteed to help rid your home of annoying insects. In order not to be disappointed, it is better to buy a smoke bomb for bedbugs “Quiet Evening” in specialized stores. This will protect you from counterfeiting.

Security measures

When using a smoke bomb, you must follow fire and chemical safety rules:

Be sure to use a respirator - a protective case for the respiratory system.
Only a healthy person should engage in chemical processing.
Do not eat food that has ended up in the treated area.
Do not wear clothing contaminated with toxic poisons without first washing.
To construct a structure for a smoke bomb, use only non-combustible materials.
The room must be supervised during processing to avoid unforeseen situations.
After the procedure, ventilate the room.

Smoke bomb for cockroaches - what is it?

The insecticidal smoke bomb is considered an unconventional remedy for home parasites, which most people know almost nothing about. Meanwhile, they are very highly efficient and have a lot of important and undeniable advantages:

They allow you to destroy almost all known insects - cockroaches, fleas, ants, bedbugs, mosquitoes, etc.;
Economical use - if used correctly, one such checker is enough to disinfest an area of 300 sq. m. area;
Quick effect - the death of parasites occurs within 24 hours;
No residual effect - after ventilation the room is completely cleared of toxic substances.

Experts identify several reasons for such high performance:

Reason 1. One smoke bomb emits much more insecticidal aerosol (fine) than 5 cans of Raptor or Dichlorvos-Neo.

Reason 2. Toxic smoke evenly envelops the entire perimeter. Absolutely everything can be treated, so you don’t have to look for cockroach nests - they will definitely fall into the insecticidal zone.

Reason 3. Along with smoke, chemicals penetrate even the most inaccessible areas - cracks in walls and floors, under baseboards, into outlet holes, through furniture upholstery. A smoke bomb can cope where any other method would be powerless. Consumer reviews indicate that the effectiveness of smoke disinfection of a room is equivalent to the operation of cold and hot fog generators, which are often used by SES services. Moreover, the device costs almost ten times less than calling specialists.

When using a smoke bomb against cockroaches, you will not be able to control the effectiveness of treatment of specific areas of the apartment (perhaps the most infested). Another significant drawback of this product is its persistent odor - it can be stored for 2 weeks.

Pros and cons of the method

Pros:

Disinsection of bedbugs using a smoke bomb is an effective way to kill pests. The smoke is highly toxic, so the destruction of bloodsuckers is guaranteed.
Smoke fills the room completely, including hard-to-reach places that cannot be reached by other means.
The smoke bomb is easy to use and works autonomously. It is enough to install it in the center of the room and leave the apartment.
This method is suitable for processing not only furniture, but also textiles. The chemical composition of the product allows you to destroy parasites in pillows, mattresses, and bedspreads.
In addition to bedbugs, the checker destroys other small insects.
Affordable price: 400-600 rubles.

Minuses:

Very high toxicity of smoke can lead to poisoning of the body.
Disinsection has only a temporary effect.
Under the influence of toxic fumes, only mature individuals die. Smoke has no effect on bedbug eggs. The treatment must be repeated for the hatched parasites, and how many of these eggs are unknown.
Use in an apartment building is contraindicated.
There are a large number of counterfeit products on the market, and it is difficult to find the original, which poses an additional threat to health due to the lack of genuine information about quality. At best, the product is useless and money is wasted.

Description and properties of a smoke bomb

This method of influencing pests is more often used outdoors. It is used by fishermen, hunters, tourists and geologists. A smoke screen can also be used indoors, however, in this case preparation is required. Using this method, fungus is destroyed on the walls and other surfaces of the cellar. However, the saber is used not only against insects and protozoa, but also to destroy small rodents.

This method is used to disinfect the following objects:

Basement
Cellars
Garages
Warehouses, hangars
Residential, apartment building
Greenhouses.

How does it work?

The principle of operation of a smoke screen is based on the spread of dense smoke, which contains toxic substances. Along with this, intense heating of the air space occurs. The result is the death of insects and microorganisms. The spread of smoke is ensured by air draft. In this way, the poison penetrates into any crevices and acts in hidden areas that cannot be reached manually.

Smoke bombs are very effective against bedbugs and cockroaches, but they are usually less effective at killing ants.

What substances does it contain?

Disinfection and destruction of pests with a smoke bomb is carried out using different components:

Sulfur and compounds based on it. The result of the combustion process of the checker is sulfur dioxide. This is a substance characterized by a high level of toxicity (class 2). This means that the use of a sulfur smoke bomb can harm humans, animals, birds, and bees. In addition, upon contact with water, sulfurous acid is formed, under the influence of which organic matter dies, since this substance provokes burns.
Hexachlorane – characterized by contact-intestinal action. This insecticide is effective in controlling insects of various types.
Permethrin is another insecticide that affects the nervous system of pests. This smoke bomb gets rid of flies, cockroaches, mosquitoes, bedbugs, moths, fleas, and ants.
Didecyldimethylammonium bromide - its action is aimed at microorganisms (fungal, bacterial infections), therefore the main area of application: cellars, agricultural storage facilities.

Advantages and disadvantages

The main advantage of sulfur/insecticide bombs for greenhouses and other facilities is their excellent performance. In addition, this method is easy to use and economical. However, there are also disadvantages, for example, high toxicity.

Additionally, checkers against cockroaches and other pests are not able to destroy severe fungal infections when treating the cellar. Under the influence of sulfur compounds, the metal oxidizes. When processing a greenhouse, the likelihood of burns on plant foliage increases.
