How to use the Combat aerosol in the fight against bedbugs?

The unpleasant smell in the apartment, the bites on the body found in the morning, as well as small traces of blood on the bed are clear signs that bedbugs have appeared in the house. It is necessary to take measures to destroy them immediately, since in two weeks their number will increase significantly and bloodsuckers will fill all rooms.

Quite a lot of positive reviews deserved a tool called Combat. Consumers who tested it claim that it eliminates the Kombat from bugs in a short period of time and often re-processing the premises is not required. Another advantage of this spray is that this universal remedy will help get rid of not only bugs, but also other insects.

Classification of Kombat brand sprays

The Korean company Henkel has released several types of aerosols Kombat, which can be divided into two groups:

• Combat SuperSpray and Combat SuperSpray + - the action of these sprays is aimed at the destruction of any crawling insects, so they can be successfully used not only when fighting bugs, but also with cockroaches, ants and fleas;
• Combat Multispray - this drug is able to destroy both crawling and flying insects. With its help, you can get rid of annoying flies, mosquitoes, wasps and other insects.

Advice! One of the advantages of these sprays is their readiness for use immediately after purchase - there is no need to dilute them in water and look for a suitable container with a spray.

Since the first group of products of the Combat brand acts only on crawling parasites, their effect on bed bugs will be more effective compared to Multispray. The latter drug has a wider range of application, and, accordingly, the concentration of insecticides aimed at the destruction of bloodsuckers is much less.

Characteristics of Combat

How does this aerosol affect bugs? The composition of the tool includes modern enteric-contact insecticides, which are quite effective and give quick results. As soon as the product reaches the surface of the insect's chitin cover, it instantly penetrates inside, causing paralysis and its inevitable death. Therefore, it is so important to find the nesting sites of the parasites and carefully process them.

Bedbugs are known to be carriers of various fungal and pathogenic infections. Combat is able to eliminate this problem, as it has a powerful antibacterial and antifungal effect. To confirm this information, studies were conducted in which pathogens of bacterial and fungal infections were placed in their usual places (wood, tile, linoleum), after which the infected area was treated with Combat. After 20 minutes, approximately 90% of the harmful microorganisms died. And this is another undoubted advantage of the drug.

But there are some negative characteristics of the spray. The manufacturer claims that the product is flavored with various additives, for example, mint, lemon, etc. But consumer reviews suggest the opposite - the product has a rather sharp unpleasant aroma.The price of Aerosol Combat will depend on its dosage.

How to use?

Combat is very economical to use, as it has a special flexible nozzle, with which you can easily handle the most inaccessible and bottlenecks.

The procedure is carried out in the following sequence:

• Shake the bottle vigorously several times before use;
• spray the product on the inner frame and the back walls of the sofa, bed and other upholstered furniture;
• to process cabinet furniture;
• walk with a tool around the entire perimeter of the room, paying special attention to skirting boards and wall joints with a ceiling;
• to process window frames and doorways;
• spray the preparation onto heating and sewer pipes.

Advice! Using the nozzle allows you to get around places where visible spots may remain: light wallpaper, paintings, and the surface of household appliances.

It is necessary to spray the product on an outstretched arm and try to process the places where bugs accumulate as carefully as possible. Do not lose sight of the fact that insects move and can lay eggs outside their nest. Therefore, it is very important to process the entire area of ​​the room - both inaccessible and open areas.

When the treatment is finished, the room must be closed for 20 minutes and restrict access to it. After this time, the room should be aired, vacuumed and wet-cleaned. Bed linens and bedspreads are recommended to be washed automatically at maximum temperatures.

Although Combat is a remedy for bedbugs, which does not differ in low cost, but the effectiveness of the drug fully justifies it. And by investing a certain amount and acting professionally, you can get rid of parasites after the first procedure.

Human and pet exposure

The pyrethroids that make up the Kombat aerosol are modern insecticides of a new generation. They have a fairly powerful toxic effect on parasites, from which they die in a short period of time. But for humans and domestic animals, this remedy is moderately dangerous and is characterized relative to them as a drug with low toxicity.

Spraying should be carried out with gloves and a gauze bandage, which will protect the respiratory tract from aerosol. But even if the drug penetrated into the body, it will be very quickly removed from it, which can not be said about the body of the insect.

Attention! Despite the slight degree of harmful effects on warm-blooded cats and dogs, it is better to remove them from the premises until it is suitable for habitation. If a pet licks the treated surface, then the harm can be quite substantial.

But even when using such an effective remedy for bedbugs as Combat, there is no full guarantee that the bloodsuckers will disappear forever. In any case, professionals from the pest control service have more information on where bugs can hide and how to get rid of them. In addition, the inept independent use of the drug can lead to the fact that insects, after sitting in a secluded place, gain immunity. And finally, remember that bedbugs breed very quickly, and if you do not destroy all their eggs, then after a short period of time the young growth will again fill your home.
