In addition to popular insecticides and acaricides in the form of sprays, dusts and solutions, smoke bombs are sometimes used. Bombs are considered a more effective way to kill pests compared to other forms of chemicals. Not the entire room is treated with conventional preparations, especially in hard-to-reach places. The same cannot be said about smoke bombs, because poisonous smoke penetrates even the smallest cracks.

Operating principle
The principle of operation is based on the effect of toxic smoke on insects, causing them to die. To use a checker, you don't need any special skills. The checker needs to be set on fire, and it will smolder, releasing smoke that fills the entire space, penetrates into all the cracks and secluded places, even through the upholstery of upholstered furniture. For greater efficiency, you need to close all the vents, windows and doors in the room.
Insecticidal bomb
PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
Permethrin aerosol, obtained by sublimation of the Whirlwind block, has a pronounced contact and intestinal effect on ectoparasites living in livestock buildings, including flies, mosquitoes, bed bugs, chicken, Persian and ixodid ticks.
In terms of the degree of impact on the body, the product belongs to moderately hazardous substances (hazard class 3 according to GOST 12.1.007-76), in recommended doses it does not have a local irritant, sensitizing or skin-resorptive effect. Toxic to fish and bees.
Types of checkers
When a bomb smolders, toxic smoke is released, which affects insects differently, depending on the chemical in the composition. As a rule, checkers are divided according to the class and type of toxic substance:
- Sulfur. When burned, sulfur dioxide is formed. Since the composition also contains sulfur dioxide, it affects both insects and fungi and bacteria. Often used to treat basements where mold grows.
- Hexochlorane. Affects the nervous system of insects. Smoke with hexochlorane is considered the most effective. It tends to accumulate in the human body. Affects the fetus in the womb and can cause developmental disorders.
- Didecyldimethylammonium bromide. It affects gardening insects, therefore it is widely used in plots, in vegetable stores, and used for treating greenhouses.
- Permethrin. Affects the nervous system of insects, causing paralysis. Also effective against rodents. Warehouses, basements and other non-residential premises are treated with this smoke.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
Immediately before processing, the checkers are placed along the room on the floor (concrete, cement), and if the floor is wooden, a fireproof object is placed under the checker. After this, the open checkers are set on fire with a match, starting with those furthest from the doors. 5-10 seconds after ignition, the flame is knocked down (covered with a lid) to ensure smoking.
The duration of thermal sublimation of 200g blocks is at least 20 minutes. The exposure of the treatment against mosquitoes and flies is 1 hour, against bedbugs and ticks 2 hours. At the end of the exposure, turn on the ventilation and carry out airing for at least 2 hours. Entry into the premises of service personnel without gas masks and placement of animals is permitted no earlier than 30 minutes after ventilation. Dead insects and ticks are removed, after which the feeders and drinking bowls are washed, and the containers are disinfected with a 3% soda solution.
Using the Whirlwind checker
The active ingredient in the Vikhr checker is permethrin. In addition, the composition includes a thermal mixture consisting of fuel peat and ammonium nitrate. Externally, the drug is a brown powder. Destroys more than 30 species of various insects, including ticks, bedbugs, flies, mosquitoes, fleas and others. It has an intestinal-contact effect on parasites, the effect of use manifests itself quite quickly. When an insect enters the body, the poison affects the nervous system, causing paralysis and convulsions, and the insect quickly dies. Widely used for processing agricultural, utility and other domestic premises.
Checker Whirlwind
The advantages of the Whirlwind checker include the following:
- wide spectrum of action of the drug;
