Thunder 2 from ants rids the crop or home not only of ants. Its active substances have a negative effect on midges, aphids, fungus gnats - adults and larvae. It is absolutely harmless for plants and fruit crops.
Main characteristics and principle of operation
This product helps get rid of insects on the street, in the house or apartment. Instructions are included with each product. It helps determine the dosage and use only the right amount of the drug. The expiration date is also indicated on the packaging. Usually this is 1-2 months from the date of manufacture. The granules are made in the usual form, have a medium size, and have a characteristic insect smell. It is the smell that attracts them to the poison. When ingested, the substance begins to expand, affecting the nervous and muscular systems, as well as activity. In a few hours, entire rows of ants will be destroyed.
Analogues of the drug
Manufacturers produce a wide range of insecticide preparations. To combat harmful insects, you can use products that have a similar effect to Groma-2 microgranules:
- "Provotox";
- "Zemlin";
- "Medvetox";
- "Ant";
- "Bazudin."
The products are used to control insects on a personal plot or in the garden. Other drugs help effectively get rid of soil-borne pests of indoor plants. It is enough to scatter the granules over the surface of the soil and lightly sprinkle with earth.
Often, gardeners or market gardeners prepare their own baits that destroy pests. It takes time to create funds, and the effect does not always live up to expectations. “Grom-2” allows you not only to save time, but also to effectively get rid of unwanted insects.
Advantages and disadvantages
The disadvantage of the drug is its danger to the inhabitants of water bodies. It is necessary to ensure that during treatment, even a small amount of granules does not fall into lakes or rivers, since they are poisonous to fish, frogs, etc. For the same reason, the insecticide should not be allowed to enter the aquarium. The product is dangerous for birds, so the granules should be stored away from ducks, chickens, and geese.
The benefits of the product include:
- Safety for earthworms and other soil inhabitants.
- Safety for plants, flowers and fruits.
- Safety for people and animals subject to direct contact.
- Thunder 2 allows you to quickly get rid of ants, fungus gnat larvae, and mole crickets.
- A long period of protective action, which is 2-3 months.
- Easy to use.
- Low price. The cost of one sachet weighing 10 g is 25-30 rubles.
When treating garden crops or indoor flowers, pests die within 2 days. There is no need to replace the soil in pots or around clumps of plants.
How does it work
The active ingredient, diazinon, itself has a faint odor, so it is easy to disguise it with a pleasant aroma. Ants eat the bait and poison the body.
Thunder 2 from Ants Here's how Thunder 2 works:
- Diazinon, once in the blood, affects the enzyme that transmits nerve impulses in the body.
- The transmission of nerve impulses is disrupted.
- Convulsions and paralysis occur.
- The insect begins to suffocate and dies.
On a note!
The drug acts in the same way on humans and animals, but for poisoning you need to receive a larger dose.
Diazinon can penetrate the body through the skin. Therefore, you should work with poison using gloves and a respirator.
Application
The instructions for use of Thunder 2 describe in detail how to use the drug in the garden and indoors.
If you need to destroy an anthill, the procedure takes place in 3 stages:
- The top layer of soil is removed from the anthill - two to three centimeters.
- The package of Thunder 2 is opened and about three grams of granules spill out. If the anthill is large, then the area needs to be treated in double dosage.
- The poison is sprinkled with earth or covered with a sheet of plywood.
If it is necessary to destroy the fly, then a shallow trench is dug around the plant - 0.5 cm. The drug is poured into it and covered with soil on top.
On a note!
The effect of the substance lasts one month. Then you can re-process. But some insects adapt to diazinon and stop reacting to it.
To avoid being harmed by granules yourself, you should adhere to certain safety measures:
- it is necessary to work with gloves and a respirator;
- empty packaging must be disposed of;
- Eating and smoking are prohibited during the procedure;
- Sprinkle the chemical on the site only in dry, windless weather.
After using Thunder 2, you need to thoroughly wash your hands and face, rinse your mouth, and wash your clothes in a washing machine at high temperature.
Use of the drug Grom 2
Rules of application
Using Thunder 2 against midges in indoor plants is quite simple. It must be used in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations (instructions for use of Thunder 2 are included with each package).
To combat midges on indoor flowers, you should apply the following manipulations:
- Furrows are made in the soil around the plant to a depth of at least 1-2 cm. In a large flower pot, you can remove the top layer of soil of the same thickness.
- After that, the granular product is scattered in an even layer, covering it with the removed soil composition. To achieve maximum effect, the soil can also be mixed with an insecticidal preparation.
The death of midges occurs after 3-5 days. The protective effect of Grom 2 lasts for 60 days.
According to the instructions, Grom 2 does not have a negative effect on plants, however, experienced gardeners advise avoiding direct contact with parts of the flower. This applies not only to “demanding” orchids, but to all house plants.

The other day I found in my supplies of drugs against plant diseases and pests two unused sachets of “Grom-2”, which is intended to combat garden ants and soil-borne house flies. Having retired and practically moved to live in the village, I became interested in this work and planted flower beds from a dozen pots on the windowsills. And then somehow I noticed that tiny black flies were flying around the rooms. And my flowers began to wither. Knowledgeable people suggested a remedy for this scourge, and this is it - “Thunder-2”. I immediately bought it, scattered the microgranules into flower pots and sprinkled them with soil. Pretty soon the flies disappeared and my flowers came to life. My indoor flowers are now planted in a flowerbed for the summer, the product is close to its expiration date, so I decided to use the remainder of the Grom-2 product to at least partially kill the ants in the garden. I raked the anthill (down to the ant eggs), poured out the microgranules and raked it back. Now I checked, there are no ants or their eggs. Either the remedy worked, or the anthill moved to another place. I plan to buy several packages of these in the near future to kill ants in the garden. At the same time, I’ll check whether this remedy is effective or not. From my first experience it is still unclear. But the fact that it helps fight soil-based house flies has been tested and helps 100 percent. I am sure that experienced indoor gardeners are familiar with the “Thunder-2” product, but for beginners or those who are not very experienced, my advice is: pay attention to this drug.
Precautionary measures
When using insect repellents, you should always remember to take precautions if you do not want to get serious poisoning or burns to your skin. That is why it is imperative to use long rubber gloves, goggles and a respirator. It is advisable to cover your head with some kind of hat, which will then need to be washed thoroughly. After handling, wash your hands with soap, wash your face and rinse your mouth, as a small amount of toxic fumes may have entered your mouth.
If suddenly the insecticide gets into your mouth, you need to drink a lot of water and induce vomiting, and then consult a doctor to rinse your stomach. If this is not done, then you can get serious poisoning with not the most pleasant consequences.
Important!
Do not forget that if the treatment is carried out indoors, you must carefully ensure that children and pets do not get into this room. Also, the product should not get into water containers or aquariums.
Reviews of the drug thunder 2 for midges
Many people prefer to first get rid of midges using “old-fashioned” methods: potassium permanganate, soap, orange, garlic and the like. However, numerous reviews allow us to conclude that these midge repellents are ineffective. Or they only help in the initial stages of infection.
In cases where the soil is abundantly populated with midge larvae, the use of drugs such as Thunder 2 is required. Most of the reviews about this product are positive. Negative reviews most often refer to products purchased from dubious suppliers or used not according to instructions.
Irina, Odessa: “Oh, I’m very familiar with this problem! I would have unbearably many of these midges. It seemed to me that all the rooms were teeming with them. I did everything: I used various remedies for midges in the apartment, sprayed with potassium permanganate, stuck something in the ground, used various homemade sprays - the colony decreased for several days, then the same story again... I read on some forum that girls They are fighting this problem with the help of Thunder 2. Honestly, it was scary, since my son is small and the cat is always “grazing” in flowers. I did everything according to the instructions and, just in case, took the child to his grandmother for two days. The cat, however, remained. And then after 3 days I noticed that there were much fewer midges on the flowers. And by the end of the week there was none left at all. I hope they don't appear again. But if they come, I now know how to get rid of midges in indoor flowers.”
Olga, Moscow: “But I don’t understand what I suddenly started doing wrong... I already used Grom-2 once, everything was fine. Recently, midges appeared in an orchid. I bought a package, did everything as always - a week passed, nothing changed. Maybe they adapted somehow? Or did you buy a low-quality product? It seems like they shouldn’t be counterfeited – it’s not the right price category. Pests of indoor plants cannot adapt; these are different colonies, in no way connected with the previous ones. Strange, of course."
