I’ve used these diggers along with a spray and sticky traps. They work to keep our clothes moth problem under control. Only downside is the smell afterwards takes ages to disperse – it’s a low level smoky sulphur smell. I treated my bedroom over a week ago and I’ve been airing it out 24/7 even sleeping with the window open using oil diffusers and incense and the smell still hasn’t gone. I’m going to try another brand next time as it’s not pleasant to tolerate and although the company have assured me the active ingredient Permethrin is certified safe for domestic use I do worry about what it may do to my health if I can still obviously smell the stuff.
So far so good, note to anyone who is silly like me, please turn the smoke alarms off before using these.
So far it seems to be working.
Best and easiest way to get out those little buggers in your house. Just light up the bomb and leave for couple hours. Advice, dont put them straight on the carpet it will leave like burn mark on it.
I ise this product in a 3 X 3 mts shed and with only one smoke bomb it was enought even with spiders. It is really easy to use.
Obviously these have to be smelly so I can’t complain about that. Had a real moth plague and these solved the problem very quickly. Only word of warning -read the instructions carefully as by their very natuer these are toxic.
We had to repeat and set off another smoke bomb 2 weeks later, but appears to have solved out problem with bites
I left the house for 5 hours while they burned and I returned to a visible smoke all through the house and dead moths, wood lice and flies.
Mild residual smell but not particularly unpleasant or strong.
Would recommend
I’ve tried many makes of flea bombs with no effect. My son who’s a dog groomer recommend critter kill.
It worked a treat it’s been about 5 months now and not a cat flea in sight. I would recommend this product and the seller. Delivery was quick too.
Never used anything like this before needed them for my loft ,placed the item on a steel tray as they get a little hot . I lit the smoke bombs and shut the trap door left them for a day and night the bombs worked ok no smell no bugs would definitely use them again if needed the items arrived on time well packed with good instructions for use.
Used this couple of times for good measure but also used other products in same room to increase effectiveness. Great if you need to bomb the room as a general but not going to get into cracks and sub surfaces so needs to be used with some extra products to make sure you get to places the smoke won’t reach or penetrate.
We had mosquitos and insects in our bedroom in Cyprus. I lit a smoke bomb for 3 successive weeks and it does appear to have done the trick! I always left the windows/door closed for atleast 2 hours.The weather has cooled now and insects are not such a problem, but I am pleased to have found this product and will use again in the spring. Not cheap though.
Product appears to have worked very well – in combination with steam-cleaning the carpets and mothballs. Only negative is that it is quite hard to light the smoke bombs and get out of the room quickly – especially when using in/on hall/landing/stairs. some sort of delay on the wick before it stands getting down to the smoke but would be good.
I got the cat that really expensive stuff from the vet shop to eradicate them from his fur.
That left three floors of carpeted rooms to deal with.
No way was I buying sprays – they’re useless – but I’d tried these foggers a few years ago to get rid of clothes moths.
Hid the cat away from the fog in a sealed room.
Set up the candles. lit the touch paper and retired to the nearest IKEA for a four hour mooch and some meatballs.
It smelled like Chernobyl when i got back, but my word, it had worked!!! No more getting lumps bitten out of me and the smell was soon dealt with by leaving the doors and windows open for a few hours.
This stuff is powerful and not particularly pleasant to work with, but if you have a severe flea or moth infestation, it’s the only thing that works quickly and effectively. Even the lady at the vet shop said it was the best thing I could have used.
I used one of the bombs in my garage, and it filled up with smoke very quickly – when I returned 4 hours later, I saw quite a few bugs on the floor, and even big spiders had come out of hiding, giving me the opportunity to get rid of them! – I will definitely order more, but next time, I may try 2 at the same time to see whether they can actually kill the spiders 🙂
Very fast fuse, be sure to point away from face as you light – maybe a second before the (poisonous to critters) smoke starts. However it definitely worked in the shed, even watched some of the little beggers try to leave through misfiring roof areas, where the sparrows caught them – all in all, does what it says. Mum reports spider free shed. 🙂
Tried looking for the infested area but I couldnt find anything anywhere, even with them trap under my bed legs. So I got myself 4 of these, small, steam cleaner bed matress cover, washed sheets at 90 degrees and got my duvet and pillows washed and dried in high heat professionally (50) it was a cheaper option as some places were charging me 800 ~ 2500 for pest control.
My bedroom is large but not huge, enough to fit a super king, few free standing cupboards and make up stand thing. I used 2 of this fogger in my bedroom even though 1 would be enough. I put 1 bed bug i caught in the room with this fogger. Left the bedroom for 5~6 hours and the experimental bedbug was upside down but still alive. I was not happy with this product and i put the experimental bedbug back in the cup with other bedbugs that i caught. But within 24~48 hours after the fogging all the bedbugs in the cup is dead or almost dead.
So if you are infested with bedbugs, catch them, expose them to the smoke and then let them go, they will crawl back to where it came from and infect the other bugs (they seem to like to cuddle with each other) since I used more smoke than required i left the room window opened for 2 days and slept on the sofa, tonight will be the first night back in my bed. Wish me luck. Must have caught the female as it kept laying eggs, im still to see them hatch, i read that smoke wouldnt kill eggs so, i will keep my eye on it. Picture shows 2 dead bug, theres also another smaller one there with the eggs.
Leave all cupboards open, beds stripped and pull out all belongings that could harbour the critters and it’ll do a great job.
Only one warning, it suggests that you place these on a baking tray or other fireproof surface but doesn’t mention the fuse is quite volatile. When first lit the fuse spits sizeable red hot embers up to a few feet. These landed all over our floors and as you need to leave the area quite quickly once the smoke bomb goes off it can be difficult in the fog to check the embers went out. Caution is recommended.
I also forgot to unplug the fire alarms which caused a nearby neighbour to panic a little.
I left a large sign in the house window stating smoke bombs had been set off which luckily stopped our neighbour calling the fire brigade!
Even after two hours, there was a very detectable aroma, which some people may find unpleasant (I did not). On the basis that if I could smell it, then the was still fumigant active (and killing moths) I retreated and left it another hour. By which time the smell was much less noticeable. I opened the windows and left for a further hour for the room to clear completely.
The instructions say very clearly to remove all pets and houseplants etc, but I forgot the Mother-in-law’s tongue plant (Sansevieria trifasciata aka Bowstring Hemp or Snake Plant) – it seems to have taken no harm (so far). Follow the instructions and you should not go wrong.
