Reviews about the drug thunder 2 from midges
Many prefer to get rid of midges first by "grandfather" methods: potassium permanganate, soap, orange, garlic and the like.However, numerous reviews suggest that these remedies for midges ineffective. Or help only in the initial stages of infection.
In those cases when the soil is abundantly populated by midges larvae, the use of drugs such as Thunder 2 is required. Most of the reviews about this tool are positive. Negative reviews are most often related to funds purchased from dubious suppliers or used not according to the instructions.
Irina, Odessa: “Oh, I am well acquainted with this problem! I would have unbearably many of these midges. It seemed to me that all the rooms were teeming with them. What just did not: used various funds from midges in the apartment, sprayed it with potassium permanganate, stuck something in the ground, applied various home-made sprays - the colony decreased for several days, then the same story again ... At some forum I read that the girls are struggling with this problem using the Thunder 2. Honestly, it was scary, because the son is small and the cat always “grazes” in flowers. She did everything according to the instructions, just in case the child took her to her grandmother for two days. The cat, however, remained. And after 3 days I noticed that there were much less midges on flowers. And by the end of the week there was no more. I hope they do not appear again. But if they come, I now know how to get rid of midges in indoor colors.»
Olga, Moscow: “But I don’t understand what I suddenly started to do wrong ... Once I used Thunder-2, everything was fine. Recently midges wound up in an orchid. I bought a package, I did everything as always - a week passed, nothing changes. Maybe they adapted somehow? Or bought a quality product? It’s like they shouldn’t fake it - the wrong price category. Adapt house plant pests they cannot, it’s after all other colonies that are in no way connected with the previous ones. Strange, of course. ”
