Reviews

When cockroaches appeared in my son’s kindergarten, the administration decided to contact the pest control service. Specialists sprayed the chemical with a hot smoke generator. One treatment was enough for all insects to disappear.

Marina, Moscow

After several attempts to destroy the Prussians in my apartment, I found the most powerful tool - Agran. They processed all corners of the rooms and left for the weekend out of town.After returning home was full of dead insects. I did not expect such a quick effect!

Alena, Kostroma

My aunt always adheres to folk remedies in the fight against the Prussians. If she has pests, she cooks borax balls. After a week, the cockroaches disappear.

Andrey Sergeevich, Pskov

Last year, my family and I moved to a new apartment. From past owners we inherited cockroaches. Sprayed several times. After a couple of weeks, the Prussians reappeared. Then a friend suggested that they climb into the house from the ventilation and crevices. She advised to process the entire perimeter of the apartment with Dohlox gel. A miracle happened! The cockroaches are gone.

Kristina, Ivanovo

Get rid of insects once and for all impossible. Even after calling the pest control, cockroaches can reappear. And there are reasons for this:

  • unsanitary conditions in the house;
  • the presence of gaps in the ceilings between apartments and floors;
  • plumbing leaks;
  • the proximity of the basement, the garbage chute.

Cosmetic repairs, regular cleaning of the apartment, joint treatment of premises with neighbors with insecticides - only such an integrated approach to solving the problem will help get rid of insects and make life comfortable.

    I noticed that now there are no such raids of cockroaches, as before. Either the environment has affected them so much, or the poison has become so powerful.
