Even in the most hospitable home there can be unwanted guests who are trying to behave like a boss. It is impossible to explain to them in words the inappropriateness of their presence. Because we are not talking about people, but about cockroaches that suddenly and unexpectedly appear from time to time in any houses and apartments. And you need to influence them not with words, but in another way - with the help of special means. Let's get acquainted with the popular and effective Combat remedy for cockroaches.

General characteristics of Combat series products against cockroaches

The South Korean brand "Combat" not only armed people to fight cockroaches. He created drugs that help to win and get rid of uninvited guests. That is why the company’s products have become popular and necessary in modern homes.

Tatyana, Moscow:

“I didn’t think that in our time we would have to think about cockroaches. But they had to: they set up a snack bar on the ground floor. Apparently, it was from them that this horror spread throughout the house! I had to look for a reliable solution. I didn’t buy without preparation, I studied the Internet, but I still doubted whether what they advised there would help - Combat. But I still bought a syringe with gel. I confirm: it works! I smeared it, after a while I saw corpses, and then completely forgot about them.”

Five reasons why customers choose Combat:

drugs ensure quality and guarantee results when used against cockroaches;
Possibility of use against various domestic insects;
safety of use for human and pet health;
variety of release forms, simplicity and ease of use;
correspondence between price and quality of drugs.

The secret of the effectiveness of drugs

To understand why exactly Combat provides effective results, let’s look at the composition of the drugs. They are based on special combinations of chemical compounds called insecticides. Such substances are designed specifically to kill various insects.

The company's specialists were able to select a formula whose effect on insects occurs instantly. It is not destined to survive after meeting with “Kombat”. Any form leads to immediate absorption of the drug, after which the cockroaches are first paralyzed and then die.

Svetlana, Ryazan:

“I didn’t even understand where the cockroach came from in our house. But his appearance impressed the whole family! But I had no time for impressions, so I ran to find something to get rid of them. The hardware store recommended traps to me. I didn’t regret it! The dog sniffed, but showed no further interest. And we didn’t come across any more cockroaches!”

Approximate cost of funds:

traps - from 280 to 380 rubles;
aerosols - from 350 to 450 rubles;
gels - from 300 to 700 rubles.

Anna, Volgograd:

“I am forced to constantly fight cockroaches - “thank you” to the neighbors! I've tried a lot. I am now, one might say, an expert on cockroaches. Recently a colleague asked me what to buy. I told her frankly: the best thing is Kombat poison, in any form. But she didn’t hide it: the packaging, unfortunately, is not cheap. But for me, it’s better to pay more right away so that it lasts for a long time.”

How to distinguish a fake from the original?

The popularity of the brand has not done him the best service. Considering that buyers trust and actively use products of this brand to combat household insects, many fakes have appeared on the market. In order not to fall for scammers and not waste your money, you need to know what signs can be used to distinguish a fake from an original.

This product, manufactured using modern high-tech equipment, undergoes a strict quality system, and has also been certified for the Russian market.

Signs of the original drug Combat:

high-quality packaging with clear, non-blurring inscriptions;
presence of a hologram and identification mark on the packaging;
distribution in reliable retail outlets (stores of well-known retail chains, trusted sellers in markets and wholesale centers);
availability of a quality certificate from the seller of the goods;
compliance with the average price of similar drugs.

Buyers should be wary of the offer to buy a product from street vendors at a reduced price, packaging made from low-quality cheap materials, and a chemical smell emanating from sealed drugs.

Gel

The poison, which has a gel consistency, has proven itself well. Combat gel achieves its goal through a combination of several insecticides that provide an effective effect on cockroaches and at the same time does not cause addiction to them. Food baits in the gel are very tempting to insects. And thanks to preservatives, stabilizers and fat base, the gel retains its properties for up to 3 months after application.

The super gel Combat developed by the company’s specialists remains effective for 9 months from the date of application!

Galina, Ekaterinburg:

“We had a lot of events this summer. The most important thing is that my son went to college and went to the city. We decided to rent him an apartment. We looked, everything was fine, but I immediately saw: my son would have bad neighbors - cockroaches! We didn’t check in right away, we went to the supermarket. We bought the gel, although we had our doubts. It turned out that it was in vain: they did everything as it was written on the package and left the apartment for a few days. Then she did some general cleaning and moved the child in. Six months have passed and there is no one!”

Using Combat Gel is very convenient: it is packaged in small plastic containers similar to syringes. The resemblance to syringes is enhanced by the thin tip, which has practical purposes. Thanks to this packaging, the gel can be applied to small crevices and other places that are inaccessible to the use of traps or aerosols.

There is no need to apply the substance in a continuous line. A dotted line, in which the gel line segments are separated by a distance of 2 cm, will be enough to achieve the goal.

You just need to be extremely careful that the applied gel is not accessible to a small child or pet, who can “taste” the substance!

Gels for cockroaches

This remedy is also popular because of its high effectiveness. It is a 30 ml syringe filled with gel . This product contains:

Nutritional supplements;
Preservatives;
Pyrethroid insecticides;
Gel.

Gel Combat against cockroaches is considered by many to be the best remedy for combating these insects. Due to its composition, the poisonous substance retains its properties for a long time, the poison does not expire. Using a syringe, the gel can be applied to the surface of the floor or wall in a thin line. This can be done even behind the baseboard. The insects will quickly find the gel and start eating it, which will lead to their death.

Reviews from those who have used this drug in the fight against insects indicate that Combat quickly solves all problems with uninvited guests:

I live in a student dormitory. There are a lot of people, everyone has brought their own supplies from home. Cockroaches have settled in with us. At first we chased them for a long time using different means. But they don't leave. I decided not to save money and bought Combat gel. I drew several lines on the floor with a syringe. There are no more insects. Now the neighbors coat their rooms with gel.

Irina, St. Petersburg

This remedy is not dangerous for humans, but if it enters the stomach, people may experience unpleasant consequences in the form of dizziness, nausea, diarrhea, and the like. Therefore, when using the gel to fight cockroaches, you should take care of the children living in the house.

Aerosol

In conditions of difficult sanitary conditions, aerosol packaging should be in every home today! This will allow you to act promptly on cockroaches that accidentally enter the room, preventing them from colonizing the space.

The method of using sprays is simple: the aerosol is sprayed in those places that may be of interest to cockroaches. At the same time, to increase the effect in the room, close windows and vents, and, if possible, ventilation grilles. To increase the spray area, the aerosol can must be kept at a distance of 20 cm from the surface.

Applying a spray on baseboards, behind water pipes and risers, joints and corners of furniture, in the bathroom will be destructive for insects. The advantage of spraying the substance is its ability to evaporate without leaving marks on furniture or wallpaper. Leave the treated room closed for 20 to 30 minutes, then ventilate it properly.

Spraying should be carried out at a time when the room is free, for example, by combining the treatment of housing with leaving for the country. In this case, you can protect children and animals from contact with treated surfaces.

The maximum shelf life of the spray is up to 72 hours. Moreover, during the specified time, from the sun and room temperature, the properties of the aerosol gradually change and weaken. The spray completely disappears after wet cleaning.

Release forms

Gel, aerosol and Combat traps have their advantages and disadvantages. Taking them into account, it is easier to choose a suitable insect repellent. Let's consider each of the drug release forms separately.

Traps Kombat

They come in four containers per package. One will not be enough to cover all cockroach habitats. The manufacturer claims that the traps have low toxicity. They can be mounted next to dishes and food. Falling into the Kombat trap, the insect becomes infected and carries particles of poison into the nest, where it infects the rest of the cockroaches. Traps are odorless. Their use is safe for people and animals.

You should not expect an immediate effect from Kombat traps. But with a small number of insects, they cope with their task with a bang.

Spray Combat

The drug is easy to use. Its advantage is instant action. When detecting places where insects accumulate, it is enough

spray the drug over it. The duration of action of aerosols does not differ. If cockroach eggs remain in secluded places, then after a while you should expect a renewal of the insect population.

Aerosols also suffer from sufficient toxicity. Even if there is no odor, it is recommended to use a mask or respirator, and also carry out treatment in the absence of people and animals in the apartment. Kombat aerosols have a disinfectant effect, which is important considering the health hazards insects carry on their paws.

Gel Combat

It is sold immediately in a syringe, which simplifies the use of the drug. Gels are odorless. Their use does not require temporary eviction of household members and the use of protective equipment during application. Gels have a long-lasting effect. The applied drug kills insects for several months after treatment.

Traps

This form of the drug, known as a trap, has become widespread. Combat produces the plates in small round plastic packages. An insecticide is placed in the center of the trap, to which only insects have access through narrow passages.

For traps, the company uses a series of delayed action. This is no accident. Thus, specialists ensure maximum distribution of the drug. Even if one insect has tried it, minor contact with it is enough for other insects to be affected by it. Due to the chain reaction, after some time the cockroaches die.

The plates can be laid out on the floor or attached to the wall. To do this, on the back of each of them there is a small square with an adhesive side. Thanks to their design, traps are absolutely safe for animals living in the house.

Olga, Ivanovo

“The neighbors said that cockroaches appeared in the house! Yes, I myself, to be honest, noticed it myself. I bought a trap. I thought they would get caught in it, but no. I glued small disks, there was only poison in them, but then I saw dead cockroaches a couple of times. And then I forgot about the traps, because I didn’t see any more cockroaches. I recommended it to my neighbor, she is also happy.”

Another advantage of the traps is that the manufacturer produces them in containers of different colors. In addition to the usual black ones, you can purchase containers that are painted in colors close to the color of the laminate. This makes packages with substances poisoning cockroaches invisible.

When to use which release form?

The company's specialists have developed a line of their products, endowing each form with effectiveness for combating domestic insects. At the same time, different forms have their own specifics and are distinguished by their originality in use.

Gels

Gel Combat affects both adult and newly born insects and can cope with a large number of cockroaches. After all, not only insects who directly tasted the gel fall under its influence, but also those who subsequently came into contact with cockroaches poisoned by the delayed-action drug.

Gels are convenient for treating large surfaces. The substance, which contains a small tube, is enough to apply to problem areas throughout the apartment. This gives the gel another feature: economical use.

It is necessary to take into account this feature of the drug: the gel does not have an immediate effect. But 7-14 days are enough to notice that there are no insects in the room.

Aerosols

Spray is the fastest acting drug. Unlike gels and traps, its results will appear within 24 hours after use.

Combat sprays are indispensable for treating a room upon moving in, and also performed well if they were sprayed at the first meeting with unwanted insects.

True, Combat in the form of an aerosol will not give results if the cockroaches have managed to lay eggs in the room; with the help of a spray you can only get rid of an adult cockroach.

Trap

Combat traps are placed in different corners of the room. Therefore, the manufacturer produces them in packs of 4 pieces. They manage to provide good results when the fight against cockroaches is started in a timely manner and a small number of insects live in the room. If there is a large population of cockroaches, it will be necessary to increase costs if traps are used to combat them: their number will also have to be increased.

Traps are left in the room for up to 3 months. After the cockroaches disappear, you can notice them fresh to consolidate the result and for preventive purposes.

Features of the Combat gel against cockroaches

The principle of operation is simple - by eating a tasty bait, insects gradually die, meanwhile sharing particles of poison on their bodies and even in feces.

Advantages of “Combat” gel against cockroaches:

inexpensive - 2-3 dollars/pack, 1 package is enough for an apartment;
convenient form of use - the narrow nose of the syringe allows you to apply the substance into the narrowest and inaccessible crevices;
effective - the death of crawling neighbors within a few hours from poisoning, complete cleaning of the territory in 1-2 weeks;
low toxic – does not cause allergies, safe for humans and pets;
effective - insects die by eating the bait, poison relatives by spreading the gel on their legs and wings, and also kill each other by spreading feces with a toxic component.

Disadvantages of the product:

if there are a large number of cockroaches, you should apply the product in double dosage and repeat the treatment every week (this will allow you to destroy those individuals that hatch later);
The validity period of “Combat” gel against cockroaches in open form is 3 months, which means that for preventive treatment you will need at least 1 more package (it is recommended to carry out control treatments for up to six months);

The presence of a huge number of fakes does not allow you to buy the product anywhere; you need to buy only the original product from a trusted supplier.

If you do not allow the appearance of cockroach colonies, then “Combat Gel” will destroy them quickly. To speed up and consolidate the result, you can spray places where insects accumulate at night using aerosols, and place traps and baits with gel drops deeper under the bathroom or under stationary furniture. There are aerosols, traps, superglue and Kombat gel against cockroaches on the market.

Advantages and disadvantages

We examined in detail each form of Combat preparations intended for the destruction of cockroaches in homes and office premises. This allows you to objectively and comprehensively evaluate Kombat weapons.

pros

All forms developed by the company are capable of effectively and efficiently cleaning premises from insects that have appeared in them.

Specialists made sure that any form of release was convenient to use.

“Kombat” uses packaging that is sufficient in volume to process an apartment. This way buyers get rid of unnecessary expenses.

Minuses

According to customer surveys, the main disadvantage of the brand is the higher price compared to some other drugs for similar purposes.

However, according to many people, having given preference to a cheaper product, they then had to spend money again on fighting cockroaches. The lack of the desired result forced us to buy “Kombat,” which helps us forget about cockroaches in our homes for a long time.

Advantages and disadvantages of various forms

Each of the described “Combat” preparations for cockroaches has its own pros and cons. But each of them is effective in pest control.

Advantages and disadvantages of Combat insecticides

A common drawback for all Combat drugs is their cost. But here we should proceed from efficiency and economy due to the rapid destruction of insects.

At low consumption, gels have the longest effect. Traps are valued for their safety, although they are more expensive. Aerosols give quick results, but of all the drugs in the line they are the most toxic.
