Reviews

On the forums there are reviews of fipronil of a different nature.

Bought from Eslandez cockroaches. A terrible smell stood in the room, but got rid of cockroaches 2 weeks in full. Reprocessing was performed to consolidate the result. We purchased a domestic drug.

Inna, Moscow

Have tried poison cockroaches fipronil based agents. Have bought dust, bait, spray. First poisoned spray, then sprinkled paths, laid out gel lures. Within a month, dead insects came across. Then the cockroaches disappeared completely.

Irina, Saratov

Fipronil provides an instant result, and also has a prolonged effect. A significant drawback is that with frequent use, resistance develops in cockroaches. If there is a need to use prophylactic drugs constantly, it is absolutely necessary to alternate. No less effective drugs based on cypermethrin, tetramethrin.

    Normal drugs, effective. With a strong infection, it is worthwhile to conduct a full disinsection, then leave the tracks from the dust. Gel baits are suitable for prevention. They retain their properties for a long time, leave no traces on the surface, act quickly. That is how we fought cockroaches in a rented apartment. After a month of intense effort, they began to live in peace.
