The smallest drops of aerosols are deposited on the walls of the cabinet and things, providing a prolonged effect and penetrating into the cracks of the furniture, destroying the laying of eggs moths.

It is necessary to apply an aerosol, putting it on things. Carpets, furniture, interior wardrobe cabinets.

Important!

Fumigators are compact devices that operate from a standard power grid and consume 4-5 watts of electricity. The insecticide can be refilled in the form of plates or a container with liquid. Equally effective from clothes, fur and food moths.

Moth fumigator has its advantages and disadvantages. It is easy to use, does not require the time for processing the room, kills and scares away flying insects.

The disadvantage of the fumigator is that the device is powered by electricity. In the absence of current or outlets, it cannot be used. In order for the fumigator to operate in a dressing cabinet, an extension cord is needed. Which is also not very convenient. The action of the insecticide is stretched over time. Sometimes it takes several days and sometimes weeks to completely destroy a moth.

Reviews

“My granny complained that her stock of croup is spoiled by a mole. On the advice of the sales consultant bought Raptor - glue traps from the food moth. A week later, the new traps were clean - not a single flying creature! Now, if the pest reappears, I will know what to buy. ”

Tatiana, Sevastopol.

“I live on the top floor, the apartment is damp, the house is old.That is why all sorts of uninvited guests often penetrate - volatile and creeping. Recently, the whole family caught the mole. So much of her flew! The husband offered to install a fumigator, which we use in the country from flies and mosquitoes. All week, sweeping out the bodies of butterflies, even worms come across! After they had cleaned and cleaned all the clothes, they roasted them in the sun, and managed to completely drive the aggressor out of the closets and the apartment. Now sometimes we turn on the fumigator for prophylaxis. ”

Lisa, Vladivostok.

“I love the smell of taiga, cedars. Therefore, when the seller offered the plates with this smell of moth, did not even hesitate. But the voracious guest did not like the smell. She ran, leaving my furs and blouses. And now I hang the product in the case for prevention and just for my favorite smell. ”
