Man is making leaps and bounds in development, and what seemed fantastic just yesterday is now commonplace and ubiquitous. But there are things that do not change over the years, there are wars that people have been waging for centuries. One of them is the war against domestic parasites, insects that overwhelm us. Today we’ll talk about the Combat line of widely used insecticidal preparations. Bedbugs appeared on the territory of present-day Europe at the beginning of the 19th century, and with the development of shipping, their spread began en masse. The first mention of bedbugs dates back to 400 BC. also by Aristotle. Since 2007, the number of bedbugs in the United States has increased 10 times compared to the last century, and more than 80% of buildings are infested. In England, the number of disinsections per year has increased 25 times; the bug quickly adapts to insecticides and each new generation appears with innate immunity to one or another drug.
Description of the product
The manufacturer of the Combat line is Henkel (Korea), against bedbugs there are two products in the form of an aerosol - this is Combat Super Spray or its modification Combat Super Spray Plus, aimed at destroying crawling parasites, and Combat Multi Spray, a universal insecticide against flying and crawling insects.
The active substances in both are modern insecticides: in Combat Super Spray and Combat Super Spray Plus they are imiprotrin and cyphenothrin. Combat Multi Spray contains permethrin and tetramethrin, all elements belong to the contact intestinal method of exposure. Directly on the bug, the contact action, penetrating through the chitinous shell of the body, blocks transmission to the nerve endings, causing paralysis and subsequent death of the insect. Interesting fact: The bug most often chooses pillows as a home, which is why it received the definition in its name as “bed.”
Bedbugs thrive in any conditions, so the fact that they appear in a person’s home does not always indicate poor hygiene. Aerosols belong to hazard class 3 (little dangerous); Combat Super Spray and Combat Super Spray Plus will be most effective for directly combating bed bugs. Aerosols are produced in a volume of Combat Super Spray 500 ml and an average price of 200-250 rubles, the container is golden or yellow. Combat Multi Spray with a volume of 400 ml and a price of 150-180 rubles, red packaging. Combat Super Spray is quite economical and has a flexible nozzle for ease of use. The composition includes new generation insecticides from the peritroid group. The peculiarity of this group of substances is that they combine a strong effect on insects with low toxicity to humans and animals.
Efficiency and operating principle
How effective the process of exterminating bedbugs in an apartment using Combat will ultimately be depends largely on the chosen form of the drug.
Aerosol sprays Combat
Aerosols of this brand differ from many insecticides in their low degree of toxicity and the absence of pronounced harm to people and animals. Using the spray is not difficult; you just need to spray a stream onto the desired surfaces.
Various aerosols are produced: Combat SuperSpray, Combat SuperSpray Plus, Combat Multispray.
Combat SuperSpray aerosol is a narrowly targeted product used to kill exclusively crawling insects, including bed bugs. It contains the substances cyphenothrin and imiprotrin. When it gets on the body of the parasite and into its body, the insecticide quickly poisons the insect, causing convulsions, organ paralysis and death. The principle of infection is chain (a poisoned individual brings particles of the chemical to its relatives, from which they die after contact with the poison).
Combat Multispray is a universal spray not only against crawling insects, but also against flying insects. Actively destroys bedbugs, cockroaches, flies, fleas, wasps, etc. The product contains permethrin and tetramethrin. It works quickly, effectively, and is just as easy to use.
But Kombat aerosols are not without their disadvantages:
- to treat a 2-3-room apartment, one cylinder will not be enough, 2-3 will be required;
- there is no effect on bedbug eggs (only adults and larvae are destroyed), so re-treatment after 10 days or two weeks may be required;
- parasites may be resistant to the drug.
The number of disadvantages of the drug Combat in comparison with all its advantages can be considered insignificant, and the disadvantages themselves are somewhat arbitrary. For example, resistance to a product develops only with frequent use, which can be completely avoided. As for the undestroyed eggs and the need for repeated treatment, this is the “sin” of most insecticidal agents.
Gel Combat
An effective remedy, but only if the source of bedbugs is known. The gel will not harm the eggs of parasites in any way, but will destroy nymphs and adults, thereby significantly reducing the population of insects in the house.
The gel should be applied around the perimeter of the room in a solid strip or dotted line in places where bloodsuckers are particularly concentrated. A bug that touches the poison will become infected itself and infect its relatives with whom it has physical contact. The poison will cause paralysis of organs and quick death.
Disadvantages of Combat gel:
- the result will be noticeable in about 2 weeks;
- if there are a large number of insects, too much gel will be required and it is not a fact that all the parasites will die;
- inconvenient to use in hard-to-reach places.
Thus, the gel will have an effect, but only if it is applied in places where bed bugs accumulate and when their number is small.
Traps Kombat
Box traps and houses against bedbugs are designed not to keep parasites inside thanks to the sticky surface, but to poison them and their fellows according to the principle of a chain reaction. A bug that has crawled through the inside of the trap will already be infected with the poison contained in the device and will bring it to its nest. This principle of operation will reduce the number of parasites, but will not destroy them all.
The effectiveness of traps directly depends on their location and number, as well as on the size of the bedbug population.
Minuses:
- not for heavily contaminated premises;
- do not completely destroy the population;
- several (sometimes many) traps are required.
Preparing the premises
Before processing, clean and move all furniture away from the walls. Carry out mechanical treatment with a vacuum cleaner; you will partially destroy any bedbugs encountered, expose their nests, and generally determine the degree of infestation. Remove the bed linen and put it in the wash along with the curtains (+50°C kills both bedbugs and eggs). If treatment is not required inside the closets, place all clothes there. Place food and utensils in general in cabinets or pack them in plastic bags. The same should be done with cosmetics and personal hygiene items. Remove houseplants and cover the aquarium. Make sure that there are no people or pets in the room during treatment and subsequently until complete weathering. Remove carpets, paintings and all decorative elements from the walls. Disconnect the power supply from all devices located in the room being treated, turn off the power to sockets and switches.

Unfortunately, there are “neighbors” in the human community that you just want to get rid of unbearably.
And people are inexorably fighting them... Even though nature has made them and humans mutually beneficial partners in symbiosis, and those same “neighbors” are ready to clean up the spaces of our homes from small food remains.
But people don’t want to have such “helpers” at all. And nature has endowed them with amazing survival and resilience. It’s clear that these unwanted neighbors are cockroaches.
Many people look at these insects with disgust and horror. The only thing worse than this is that cockroaches are carriers of various diseases; they can become a source of infection with parasitic worms or “reward” a person with bacteria of typhus, dysentery, tuberculosis and even cholera. Therefore, at the first appearance of uninvited guests in the house, we try to make every effort to destroy them.
Fighting cockroaches: tactics
However, not everything turns out to be so simple: cockroaches have the ability to get used to certain poisons or can again make raids from neighbors who are not so jealous of their proximity to these insects. Or they will hide in secluded places in your own home and return as a large horde, reinforced by a colony of young individuals... Therefore, tactics for fighting cockroaches must be carefully developed.
It is possible and necessary to exterminate cockroaches yourself. After all, it is not always possible to call a service to destroy them.
And will this be a guarantee of eternal freedom from cockroaches? And a number of questions arise: is there a universal remedy that will help with this? Which product is better: gels, traps, crayons? Which of them give the most consistent and long-lasting results? How to find a cockroach control product that is safe for people and pets?
The website Mosquito Repellent.RU is a professional in the field of exterminating harmful insects. On the pages of the site you can find answers not only to the main questions about the fight against cockroaches, but also get acquainted with the “newest weapons” for its management.
It must be remembered that the basis for effective control of cockroaches is the use of sufficiently strong chemicals. A universal and perfect remedy that completely gets rid of cockroaches does not yet exist.
This is due to the habituation of these insects to the use of a particular insecticide. But the use of various means in combination is the main and only correct tactical decision.
And besides, it’s killer for cockroaches!
Cockroaches - get out or a “strategy” for fighting cockroaches
Words are unlikely to help in the fight against cockroaches. The advice of friends in waging this “war” is not always justified, and the recommended means for fighting cockroaches sometimes turn out to be ineffective...
It's time to start taking concrete action! The website Repellent-mosquitoes.RU, as a true professional in the fight against harmful insects, offers a whole range of new original and effective means for combating cockroaches. The new arsenal of “strategic” tools on the site includes:
- gels (“Globol Schaben Paste”, “Absolute”, “Maxforce”);
- insecticidal drops (“Deadly drops No. 1 against cockroaches”);
- glue "Trapkol" (135 g);
- insect control kit “GET® (GET) PRO”;
- traps for cockroaches (sticky trap from SWISSINNO, Combat Superbyte traps, working on the “domino” principle).
Already now, together with the website Remedy-from-mosquitoes.RU, you can think about tactics to fight cockroaches, and, without even leaving your home, purchase strategic means of fighting cockroaches in the site’s online store.

Bedbug treatment areas
Bed bugs are not very active and come to feed mainly at night when we are sleeping. This means they will hide near our resting places and their feeding places. First of all, we disassemble the bed or sofa and process all the joints, seams, fastening elements, labels, etc. everything is thorough. The mattress has seams, zippers, and labels on all sides. We process bedside furniture, bedside tables, chest of drawers, etc. (on all sides and retractable elements). We process the back side of carpets and paintings. We treat areas under the window sill and heating panels; for preventive maintenance, treat ventilation shafts and entrance door frames. Gaps in the floor and baseboard around the perimeter, loose wallpaper joints. Review all electronics, sockets and switches.
How to use the drug?
How to use the drug Combat to kill bedbugs? The spray should be used as follows:
- First of all, you need to prepare the room. To do this, move the furniture away from the walls, opening access to the baseboards;
- Then you need to dismantle the beds and sofas. It is advisable to disassemble the furniture so that access to the wooden frame opens;
- Bed linen cannot be treated with insecticides; it must be sent to the laundry and washed at the highest temperature;
- Closets should be emptied of things. Things can be temporarily packed in bags. If there are a lot of bedbugs in the house, then there are probably some in the closets. So things will need to be processed in accessible ways - washed, kept in the cold or scalded with steam from a steam generator;
- Be sure to remove all decorations from the walls - carpets, tapestries, photographs, paintings, etc. It is behind these things that bedbug nests are often found;
- Having completed the preparation, you can begin processing. Before starting work, you must put on protective equipment - a respirator, gloves and glasses. People and animals must be removed from the apartment;
- It is very simple to carry out treatment using aerosol cans; when you press a button, a dispersed stream consisting of air bubbles and a solution of the drug is ejected from the hole;
- It is necessary to process baseboards, back walls of furniture, internal structures and mechanisms of sofas and beds;
- After the treatment is completed, you should leave the room for 2 hours. Then you will need to ventilate the room well by opening the windows;
- This treatment is usually enough to destroy most insects and their larvae. But new individuals can hatch from the remaining clutches of eggs. Therefore, it is recommended to repeat the treatment after two weeks. This will completely get rid of insects;
- You need to understand that if the treatment is carried out in one room of the house, provided that the rest of the rooms are contaminated, then the desired effect will not be achieved. After some time, the insects again “occupy” their usual places. Therefore, you need to treat all rooms at once. And if we are talking about an apartment building, then it is advisable to carry out treatment in all infected apartments at the same time.
So, the drug Combat is a convenient and quite effective drug for killing bedbugs. However, if the room is heavily infested, several treatments may be required.
Combat instructions for use
As when working with any insecticide, the use of personal protective equipment is mandatory. Safety glasses, rubber gloves, a respirator or protective mask and a change of clothes will not hurt you. During treatment, eating and smoking are prohibited. It is prohibited to treat minor children, pregnant or lactating women. Before use, shake for 30 seconds to mix the components into a homogeneous composition. Spray in places where insects are expected to accumulate, at a distance of 20 cm from the surface to be treated. Carry out the treatment with the windows open, after finishing the treatment, send the clothes to the wash, take a shower yourself and rinse your mouth. After 2 - 3 hours, you should ventilate the room until the smell disappears completely. Perform partial cleaning of the most contact surfaces with a soap solution. In case of contact with skin, wash the area with soap and water; if the spray gets into your eyes, rinse thoroughly with running water. If irritation occurs, consult a physician.

Assortment of anti-bedbug products Kombat
Combat against bedbugs are products developed in Korea, which are presented on the market in different forms.
The anti-parasite gel is sold directly in a syringe, so it can be used immediately after purchase. The gel is chosen in situations where it is impossible to determine the exact location of the parasites. The drug has a prolonged effect, which allows you to apply it just once and get results within 25-30 days. Apply the gel around the perimeter of the apartment, as well as in places where parasites are expected to accumulate - along the baseboards, along the furniture frame, along the back walls of cabinets. The advantage of the gel is that it is odorless and does not evaporate. When the parasite gets on the body, the gel begins to block nerve impulses. If the bug comes into contact with other individuals at this time, they will also become infected.
Aerosol Combat is a convenient remedy that is chosen in situations where a bedbug nesting site has been discovered. The spray penetrates into the farthest corners and easily covers a large surface. Thanks to this, the entire nest can be quickly and easily treated, causing the death of all parasites.
Kombat traps are small cardboard containers containing a toxic substance. The poison does not destroy the parasite immediately, allowing it to spread the infection to other individuals.
Reviews of the bed bug remedy Combat are positive. This is an effective drug that allows you to fight parasites without temporarily evicting residents from the house. Due to its low toxicity class, the drug is safe for humans and pets and can be used even where small children live.
The price of the bedbug remedy Combat depends on the form of release of the drug. So, the aerosol can be bought in all household stores at a price of approximately 200-250 rubles per bottle. The trap will cost about 500-700 rubles. The price of the gel is determined by its dosage and falls within the range of 300-700 rubles per package.
Pros and cons of the drug
The advantages include:
- Ease of use - the drug in the form of a spray is convenient and ready for use.
- Low consumption - a flexible nozzle helps to target bedbug locations.
- Low toxicity - approved for use in both schools and medical institutions.
- Residual effect - after treatment it is active for up to 2 weeks.
- No specific odor - the composition contains a fragrance that gives a light floral or fruity smell.
- Antibacterial and antifungal effect - the manufacturer promises the destruction of up to 90% of all microparasites.
Disadvantages of the drug:
- The price of the drug is overpriced compared to drugs in this category.
- The effect is very good at the initial stage of infection, as a preventive measure. But with a large number of bugs, you should resort to more professional insecticides such as: Averfos, Confidant, Medilis, Get, Ecokiller, Forsyth, Cypermethrin, etc.
Advantages of the drug
What are the advantages of using the drug Combat in the fight against bedbugs? Here are the main advantages of the drug:
- The aerosol product can be easily used at home on your own; the spray evenly distributes the active substances over surfaces;
- The process of preparing the Combat tool for work will take only a few seconds. There will be no need to prepare the solution by measuring the required amount of water. It will be enough to simply shake the bottle several times;
- Combat products contain fragrances, so it does not have such an unpleasant odor as most insecticides;
- According to the manufacturer, Combat SuperSpray not only effectively destroys bedbugs, but also has a disinfectant effect - antifungal and antibacterial. This property is a significant advantage of the drug, since various pathogenic microorganisms often accompany bedbugs;
Advice! To confirm the disinfecting properties of SuperSpray Combat, special tests were carried out. When using the drug, up to 90% of pathogenic microflora on wood, linoleum and other surfaces found in everyday life dies.
- The drug is quite economical. And in order for the insecticide jet to be guaranteed to reach the habitats of parasites, the balloon is equipped with a flexible nozzle. Using the nozzle, you can treat cracks in baseboards, floors and furniture, since it is in these places that the main accumulation of bedbugs is most often observed;
- When sprayed, Combat does not leave stains on furniture upholstery or wallpaper, so you don’t have to worry about the safety of your things.
The disadvantages of the drug include not the lowest price for the Combat product, however, the ease of use of the drug and its effectiveness successfully compensate for this disadvantage.
