The times when they saved themselves from flies and mosquitoes using gauze stretched over the window and covered with clove essential oil have already passed. Now it’s enough to insert a small appliance into the socket, and life immediately gets better. Fumigator from flies is one of the newest means against flying insects. This article will tell about the main nuances of its correct application.
Device features
The fumigator is a small electrical appliance, the operation of which is based on the evaporation of the toxic composition. The device has a plastic case and a heating element inside. Also in the device there is a place where the chemical component is located. A substance that kills insects can be produced in solid and liquid form.
Fumigator with plates (tablets)
The device is equipped with a special niche for installing plates (tablets), impregnated with a special composition. The active substance in it is usually an insecticide of the pyrethroid group (Raptor trademark), the analogue of which is feverfew (natural poison contained in the Caucasian chamomile). Such pills from flies for the fumigator do not pose a danger to human health.
More effective is the toxic composition based on synthetic insecticides, for example thiamethoxam (Agita, Aktara). It has a neuroparalytic effect on annoying insects, which subsequently becomes the cause of their death.
Important!
Caution when using the fumigator should be shown to people suffering from allergies. In this connection, it is necessary to carefully monitor your well-being for 2-3 hours. Headache, skin rashes, nasal congestion, or sore throat are evidence of an allergic reaction.
The principle of operation of the fumigator is quite simple. Due to the ceramic element inside, the toxic composition is evaporated, which is impregnated with the plate. Spreading in midair, toxic fumes have a negative effect on insects. And after 15-20 minutes, flies, mosquitoes and other flying insects in the room lose their motor activity, and die within a few hours of work.
Typically, the area of exposure to the fumigator is about 14-18 square meters. m. Thanks to a special solution that is added to the toxic mixture, you can determine how suitable the plate is for use. If she has evaporated the entire stock of poison, she loses her color, becoming faded.
The operation of the device does not require much effort. To save the premises from annoying pests, just plug the fumigator from flies and mosquitoes into a power outlet. Another advantage of this device is that during operation it does not make noise, which does not interfere with rest and sleep. Also, the use of a fumigant eliminates the need to use protective ointments, aerosols and other insecticides that require contact with the human body.
Fumigator with liquid
Similarly, the fumigator works on liquid insecticides placed in a special bottle.In addition, such devices are safer and more economical than devices with plates, because one bottle of liquid insecticide is enough for 1 month of operation. And the area of their impact is much larger (20-30 sq. M.).
The active ingredients of a liquid mixture are usually pralletrin. Acting on the nerve endings of the fly, the insecticide blocks the supply of signals to the nerve endings, which causes paralysis, and then the death of annoying creatures. The poison is usually added to the liquid for the fumigator in a concentration of not more than 1.6% (the lower this indicator, the less effective the agent).
What you should know
The proper use of the fumigator is to follow simple rules.
- Place the fumigator in an open space with good air access, without covering it with curtains or furniture. It is better if the outlet into which it will be plugged in is located as close to the floor surface as possible so that toxic fumes envelop the maximum volume of the room.
- The room in which the fumigator worked, must be aired. Especially if it has a small area.
- After 8-10 hours of operation, the device must be disconnected from the network.
- It is not recommended to use a fumigator from flies in rooms where pets and aquarium fish live.

Our fumigator almost became the cause of the fire - it began to melt and exude a burning smell. During the rush. So I advise you to use such devices with caution.
