The appearance of cockroaches is a real disaster for apartment owners. These insects are very prolific and able to adapt to any conditions. Once in their homes, they behave like full-fledged owners. Insects get into all the cracks, damage electrical appliances and can carry dangerous diseases. Today, there are many different insecticidal preparations on the market designed to kill cockroaches. One of the most popular and effective means for getting rid of parasites are various Global preparations. Let's look at them in more detail.
General characteristics of Global anti-cockroach products
The German company Global has been widely known on the market for decades. It is engaged in the development and production of insecticidal preparations, which is the main activity of the popular brand.
Global drug manufacturers use chlorpyrifos as an active ingredient in their products. This is a modern contact insecticidal substance. Chlorpyrifos, getting on the body of an insect, soon leads to the death of the Prussian.
With the help of special attractants, the effectiveness of the active substance is enhanced, and additional additives help attract insects and their rapid destruction.
Advantages of Global
The remedy for cockroaches Global currently remains one of the most popular and in demand on the modern market. There are many reasons for this. The original drug has a number of advantages and positive aspects.
The most important remain:
- High efficiency. On average, one tube of product is enough to treat an apartment or house with an area of up to 60 square meters.
- Easy to use.
- Safety. According to research by the manufacturer of the product, it remains non-toxic and hypoallergenic for humans. However, direct contact with the insecticide should be avoided.
- Duration of action. Global gel against cockroaches remains active for up to 1 month after its application to the appropriate surfaces, which guarantees long-term protection against a new invasion of Prussians.
- Price. The cost of a cockroach repellent from a German manufacturer is more than affordable (150-250 rubles). You can buy the gel in almost any specialized store or order it online.
- No classic “chemical” smell. Globol can be used in the home, and guests will not even suspect its presence the next time they visit.
Thanks to all these features, the German product remains so popular and in demand. Reviews from many people who have tried Globol gel confirm its high effectiveness.
What is the secret of efficiency?
Chlorpyrifos begins to act on the insect's body almost immediately after the cockroach comes into contact with the insecticide. The death of the parasites occurs only after a certain period of time after the Prussian swallows the poison, or simply touches it.
The product contains such a dose of insecticide that does not allow the insect to die quickly. Thanks to this approach, the poisoned insect manages to return to the shelter of its relatives and poison several more individuals. Particles of the product stick to the body of the insect, from where the toxic substance gets onto the bodies of other individuals when they sit quite tightly in their secluded corners. This allows you to quickly rid your home of hordes of red mustaches.
Thanks to its gel-like consistency, the drug does not dry out for one month after treatment. During this time, the drug does not lose its insecticidal properties and taste, which attract Prussians. All properties of the active substance are preserved even if the drug is exposed to sunlight or air for a long time.
How to distinguish a fake from the original?
Today, unfortunately, you can often find insecticidal products sold under the Global brand, which are just counterfeits of well-known drugs. How can you avoid falling for scammers and choose the original Global product to get rid of cockroaches?
You can distinguish an original from a counterfeit by the following characteristics:
- Global drugs are produced exclusively in Germany, therefore only German is used for labels on packages;
- the original packaging is made in a soft light green design;
- each package is equipped with a hologram, which is a guarantee of the manufacturer’s quality;
- fake products are sold in thin cardboard boxes, which are made in a pale color palette.
How to distinguish a real Globol?
At the same time, do not accidentally buy a fake or analogue. Unfortunately, there are many such “leftist” products on the market that imitate effective products from Globol. You can distinguish the original by the following parameters:
- The gel itself is a beige substance with a slight chocolate smell. This aroma is explained by the fact that cocoa butter is used as the fat base for the paste.
- There is a special hologram on the packaging.
- It must be indicated that the product was made in Germany. If it says that an insecticide was released in another country, then you should not buy it.
- The name of the drug consists of Latin letters - “Globol” or “Exil”. If it is written in Russian and has different or additional letters, then it is a fake.
- The seller has a certificate of conformity for the products.
There are also analogues of the original globall. All of them, judging by the reviews, are much less effective. So be careful when purchasing cockroach repellents.

Paste
Global paste is produced by the manufacturer in tubes weighing 75 grams and this amount is enough to fully treat insects in a room of up to 60 sq.m. Therefore, to get rid of the Prussians in an ordinary apartment, one tube of Global cream is enough . The paste is a means of exterminating cockroaches by contact. This means that for the pest to die, it must touch the drug.
The ointment is very convenient to apply to surfaces, since the tube is equipped with a special spout. The paste should be applied dotted or in the form of dotted lines where the largest concentrations of Prussians are observed.
Using the paste
Before you start using, you need to take the tube in your hands and gently knead it until the paste becomes plastic. You can also place it in warm water to soften. The product is applied to the surfaces to be treated with a dotted line or in the form of droplets, the distance between which should not be less than 5 centimeters.
Global paste against cockroaches is applied where the largest number of parasites is observed and where they like to move. These include:
- spaces behind and along skirting boards;
- surfaces near sewer lines;
- spaces under the bathtub, sink and next to them;
- area around the trash can;
- places behind kitchen cabinets.
You can use another method of treating the room with cream. To do this, the paste is applied to thin paper strips, which are then laid out in places where the Prussians are most concentrated. The undoubted advantage of this method is that after destroying the entire population of cockroaches, there is no need to wash the floor covering and baseboards from the ointment. You just need to collect the paper traps and throw them away.
How long will it take to expect results?
A positive result from using Global anti-cockroach paste can be seen after just 2 to 3 days. However, to get rid of the entire “horde” of red “invaders” it will take about 3 weeks, and in especially severe cases it can take a longer period of time. Here you will need to periodically apply a fresh layer of poison as the previous one dries.
The maximum number of cockroaches poisoned by the drug can be observed 1 or 2 weeks after the start of treatment. It is during this period that insects begin to crawl out of their hiding places, they clearly show impaired coordination of movements and have virtually no instinct of self-preservation.
Dead and dying cockroaches must be swept up every day, especially carefully cleaning in crevices and other secluded places where cockroaches can hide. It is best to use a vacuum cleaner to clean them.
Description of Global gel
Globol gel is considered a very high-quality and successful product that quickly and reliably rids a human home of parasites. The poisonous substance in the gel is the modern insecticide chlorpyrifos. It is a broad-spectrum, contact-type poison. The insect, having eaten part of the bait, manages to get dirty in the paste and brings poison on its body to places where other cockroaches gather. In this case, the parasite does not die immediately, which allows the poison to spread to as many insects as possible. Within two days the cockroach dies.
The drug is available in the form of a 75 milliliter tube. This is enough to treat a room of 70 square meters. The paste or cream itself is dark beige in color.
To make applying the product more convenient, the tube is equipped with a special narrow nozzle, with which the product can be applied to hard-to-reach areas.
Since there are counterfeits of this brand on the market, there is protection for the original product. The tube should have a round holographic sticker with the designation of the country of origin - Germany. Global gel against cockroaches is often mistaken for a real remedy.
Since 2021, the Globol cockroach remedy has changed its name. Now the drug is called Exil schaben paste. It has retained its insecticidal qualities to the fullest.
Gel
The effectiveness of the Global gel is slightly higher than that of the paste from the same manufacturer, since it contains chlorpyrifos in a higher concentration . When treating a room with this drug, it is necessary to prevent access to it by domestic animals so that they cannot taste the poison. The gel is best used for treating hard-to-reach places indoors.
To attract Prussians, you can use the following recipe for making bait. It will require Global gel, boiled yolk and flour. It is necessary to mix all the components and form small balls from the resulting mass. The bait is placed where insects most like to hide. This method of exterminating cockroaches will ensure quick disposal of pests.
Gel Exil (formerly Globol)
Globol gel against cockroaches is quite popular. True, recently it is more often found under the Exil brand. There is no need to worry - this is not an analogue or a fake. It’s just that in 2021 the name changed - the design, composition and effectiveness of the drugs remained the same. That is, Exil is the same German product that perfectly destroys cockroaches in any premises.
So globol schaben paste is a paste (gel) in a 75 gram tube. Its operating principle is contact. When an insect lands on a surface treated with the drug, it does not die immediately, but manages to transfer particles of the toxic substance to its relatives. Thus, infecting and killing the entire colony of cockroaches. If the arthropod dies without reaching its own kind, it will most likely poison them anyway. The fact is that cockroaches often eat the corpses of their relatives.
The active ingredient of exil (globol) gel is 0.5% chlorpyrifos, which can penetrate into the insect’s body not only through the integument and stomach, but also through the respiratory tract. The insecticide also contains a special attractant that attracts cockroaches.
The application scheme itself is simple:
- We pre-wet clean the room. We remove unnecessary things and garbage.
- Take a tube of globol anti-cockroach gel. We take into account that one package of such a poisonous cream is enough to treat a room of no more than 70 square meters. m.
- We warm the gel paste in the tube with our hands for a couple of minutes and knead it to give the preparation plasticity. Knead in your hands until you feel soft.
- Next, apply the insecticide with a dotted line on sheets of paper, cardboard, plastic bags, plastic substrates, or simply on the floor. We make sure that the distance between the drops is small. Literally a couple of centimeters.
- We treat those places where cockroaches can find food and water: under the stove, cabinets, tables, refrigerator, around sinks and sewer pipes. If there are a lot of these unpleasant insects, then it makes sense to apply the gel to door frames, baseboards in different rooms, etc.
- To treat hard-to-reach places, we use a nozzle with a narrowed spout, which is included in the kit.
- Then close the tube of gel tightly. We put it away where children or animals will not find it, where it will not be exposed to sunlight.
- We wash our hands with soap. That's all!
The death of cockroaches after contact with the gel occurs literally within two days. Don’t expect instant results - after a couple of hours the pests may appear to you, slowly running away or, conversely, freezing in place. This means that the poison is already affecting them, causing paralysis.
After 10-12 days, it will be possible to observe the complete absence of arthropods (both cockroaches and ants) in the house. Most importantly, do not forget to repeat the treatment of the room after 3-4 weeks to consolidate the desired result.
For reference! On the Internet you can also find the name of the drug - “global for cockroaches”, where the second letter is “a”, not “o”. These are all variants of transcription and spelling, but in most cases the same means is meant.
Aerosol
If you notice that cockroaches have begun to appear in your apartment, and you know where their nest is located, then you can use Global aerosol or spray to get rid of them. The aerosol has an immediate effect on parasites. This drug was developed for use in apartments and houses. However, aerosols are toxic and can cause harm to humans if the following safety precautions are not observed:
- When spraying an aerosol, it is necessary to use special protective equipment for the respiratory system. The product should be sprayed from a distance of about 15 centimeters on the insects themselves and on their nests;
- before starting treatment, it is necessary to send all household members and pets for a walk, remove all indoor flowers and an aquarium with fish from the room;
- After finishing processing, you should wash your hands thoroughly;
- When the treatment time has expired, the room must be ventilated.
Aerosol spray and Globol traps against cockroaches
In addition to the gel, the Globol line also contains other types of products for killing cockroaches. For example, some people choose an aerosol. In this form, globol is available in 400 ml bottles.
Treating a room with an aerosol is easy. The main thing is to free it from animals and people, as well as remove food waste and unnecessary things, tightly close the windows and doors. Next, you need to shake the can well, put on a protective mask and spray the product on different surfaces at a distance of about 15 cm. Particular attention should be paid to those places where cockroaches can find food or where they go to drink. This:
- bath;
- shower cabin;
- kitchen sink;
- toilet;
- space for a trash can;
- sewer pipes;
- hoods;
- corridor, etc.
Just do not apply Global to the walls of the kitchen or the table where you eat, cook, etc. After finishing the treatment, leave the room for 3-4 hours. When you return, ventilate it, but do not start wet cleaning. You can wipe with a damp cloth with a little detergent only those surfaces that you and other household members frequently come into contact with.
There are also traps in the Globol or Exil line of products. They are usually used in addition to a gel or aerosol. Some place them at home as a preventive measure, so that some wandering Prussian scout gets caught in it, or rather, eats the poison and infects the rest of his relatives.
What do Globall traps look like? These are small box stations with holes in the walls, which allows mustachioed pests to get inside without obstacles. What attracts cockroaches there is a delicacy that contains a substance that is poisonous and lethal to arthropods. Cockroaches cannot resist tasting it. It smells too good. As a result, these nasty insects easily become infected and die after some time.
As for the instructions for use, they must come with the product, regardless of its release form. Please read it carefully before processing!
For reference! Globol traps alone can be used only in cases where there are few “whiskered” ones. If the population of cockroaches has grown, then for destruction you will need to use a gel or aerosol of the same brand.
Traps
Another effective Global remedy for cockroaches is traps for exterminating insect pests. They are non-toxic and their service life lasts approximately 2 months. Trap blocks are laid out where there is a large accumulation and movement of parasites. The back side of the device is equipped with adhesive tape, which makes it possible to place it on both horizontal and vertical planes.
For a room with an area of 10 sq.m., you will need 2 or 3 blocks. If the insect population is very large, then it is better to take 5 or 6 traps. After a couple of months, it is necessary to replace the blocks to protect the premises from the re-entry of cockroaches.
Operating principle
The gel contains chlorpyrifos, the effect of which is enhanced by attractants. The paste is prepared on the basis of cocoa butter, which lures insects with a pleasant chocolate smell . Due to the remaining components, Globol gel retains its properties for a long time, does not dry out, and the poison does not erode.
It is believed that Global gel against cockroaches does not lead to parasites becoming accustomed to the poison. Since the insect does not die immediately, it manages to infect many relatives. After treating the premises with Global, an insect epidemic occurs within one to two weeks. Cockroaches begin to have difficulty oriented in space and crawl into the middle of rooms. Since these insects are capable of eating the corpse of their relative, the action of the insecticide will overtake them in the same way.
The advantages of the drug include:
- Cost savings;
- Safety for animals and people;
- Hypoallergenic;
- Efficiency;
- Pleasant aroma;
- Extension two months;
Global cockroach paste can be used in different ways. In addition, as the cockroaches die, such side effects after treatment do not appear, such as a large number of corpses that need to be swept out of their apartments every day. The insect population is gradually decreasing.
Crayons Global
Global pencils and crayons for killing parasitic insects contain the same active ingredient as the gel. However, crayons are less effective, so they are recommended to be used as an additional remedy or as a preventive measure to prevent re-infestation after the destruction of the cockroach population.
Using chalk, draw a continuous line under the window sills, next to the ventilation ducts, near every crack in the floor and in all the nooks and crannies where cockroaches like to hide.
When and what form of release to use?
To determine which product is best to use in your case, you need to find out the degree of parasite infestation in your home.
If you observe only a couple or three individuals in a room and know exactly where they are located, then it is better to use an aerosol to destroy pests. This drug has an immediate effect on insects.
If the population of Prussians is large, then it is advisable to treat the room with Global gel. It has a prolonged action, which ensures 100% elimination of cockroaches. The paste, once on the paws of one insect, is transferred to other individuals, leading to the death of the entire pest population.
If you managed to destroy the entire population of pests, and you want to prevent their reappearance in your apartment, then use special blocks - traps. They are an effective means of preventing cockroaches.
You can also use Global chalk as a preventative measure, covering the places where Prussians most often move.
Work of the product in complex
To achieve maximum effect, we recommend using Global preparations in combination.
First of all, you need to carry out treatment using an aerosol. To do this, spray those surfaces on which it is impossible to apply the gel. These include upholstered furniture and space inside cabinets.
Next, they begin to treat the room with gel. Due to the long period of its influence, it will completely destroy the population of adults and the young generation that gradually hatches from the eggs.
And to consolidate the results obtained and prevent re-infestation, you can place cockroach traps in your apartment.
Advantages and disadvantages
Global insecticides have a number of undoubted advantages:
- these drugs do not cause allergic reactions;
- have a pleasant chocolate aroma, after using the drug there is no need to ventilate the room for a long time;
- not dangerous to human health and life, even if the product gets on the skin or into the body;
- absolutely safe for pets;
- have a low degree of toxicity;
- have a long period of exposure, maintaining all the main characteristics.
In addition to the advantages, Global funds also have some disadvantages:
- Global drugs cannot be classified as cheap drugs;
- after using them, stains remain;
- Instead of the original product, you can easily buy a fake.
Are the products dangerous for people and animals?
The Global company tested its drugs for safety for humans and pets. The test results showed that the amount of active substance in the drugs is within acceptable limits. Global cockroach repellents do not have a pronounced chemical aroma and do not cause allergic reactions.
Global preparations do not harm the health and life of humans and animals, but compliance with personal safety measures during their use is still necessary.
Fighting cockroaches
Cooking in the vicinity of cockroaches is not the most pleasant experience. Longhorned beetles manage to chew through plastic bags and get into refrigerators. At night, the kitchen turns into their kingdom. If you suddenly turn on the light at night, you can see them crawling along tables, floors and walls. And what can we say about what it’s like to eat when these parasites are running around the table!
People have been struggling with cockroaches for a long time. Many means of destroying them and security measures have been invented to prevent them from appearing. Unfortunately, not all means give the desired result. The main problem with all poisons is insect resistance. If some insecticide has already been used several times, then there is a high probability that repeated treatment with the same drug will no longer be effective.
Using insecticidal chalk as an example, it was noticed how quickly insects get used to them. However, there are other drugs. Among them are:
- Aerosols;
- Traps;
- Gels.
Unfortunately, they also have similar disadvantages. In addition to becoming addictive, the products can be dangerous for people and animals. Aerosols can affect the health of those living in the house, but they cannot have any effect on cockroach eggs.
Cockroach gels are considered especially effective. There are many brands of these drugs, which differ from each other in price and quality. An example of a remedy for cockroaches is Global gel.
Precautionary measures
If you decide to get rid of uninvited “guests” using Global products, then the following precautions must be observed:
- ensure that children and pets do not come into contact with insecticidal preparations;
- upon completion of treatment, wash your hands thoroughly with soap;
- do not store medications near food;
- do not allow the product to get into your eyes or mucous membranes;
- do not use medications that have already expired;
- empty tubes should be tightly closed and disposed of.
If we rely on the reviews of people who have already used Global products to rid their home of cockroaches, we can conclude that of the entire range of products produced by this company, the most popular product is the gel. It is not as toxic as an aerosol, but its effectiveness is much higher.

Gel against cockroaches and ants EXIL (aka GLOBOL) (Article: 2407)
The drug is a unique, unparalleled anti-cockroach remedy that has been on the market for 13 years. Now the manufacturing company is changing the brand of the gel from the name GLOBOL to EXIL.
