Views

Each product produced under the Fumitox brand works in its own way. Most of them are based on the principle of evaporation of the active substance under the influence of heat. Fumigators are divided into electrical and pyrotechnic . Each group has its own characteristics. The company does not produce battery-powered protective equipment - you will have to look for them in the arsenal of other brands.

Means for electrofumigation

Fumigators, plugged into an outlet, are one of the most popular Fumitox products. The firm produces models with a horizontal and vertical position of the working surface, as well as with a universal swivel fork . The company also has a special line of "Nezhenka" products with a reduced content of chemicals. It is recommended for use in rooms where there are pregnant women, small children.

In combination with electrofumigators, various forms of active substances are used

• Liquid . It acts on flying insects by evaporating a chemical substance called pralletrin into the air. Liquid formulations are considered the safest and most reliable. One bottle usually lasts 30-45 nights (up to 8 hours of continuous evaporation). The active substance used in them has a certain concentration, which is not allowed to be independently changed by diluting the contents.
• Tablets or plates . They contain the chemical d-allethrin, fragrances and dyes. The children's series is produced odorless. Plates are packed in blisters of 10 pieces. Each is designed for 8 hours of continuous use, with less prolonged use can be reused.

Tablets and liquids should only be used in combination with electrofumigators. The heating plate of such devices has a ceramic structure, which allows maintaining a certain heating temperature. The built-in LED indicator informs about turning on the equipment and supplying power.

Pyrotechnic

Spirals for killing mosquitoes are a kind of analogue of incense sticks. They are impregnated with chemicals, when they smolder, insecticides heat up, emitting vapors that repel and destroy insects within a radius of 10 m . Spirals contain a combination of chemical and natural substances. The main component is transfluthrin, it is supplemented by geraniol and citronellol, which simultaneously play the role of a perfume.

In the process of smoldering, mosquito coils release substances into the air that repel insects . Fumigation pyrotechnics should not be used indoors. The chemical insecticides contained in them have a more intense effect on mosquitoes, ensure their rapid destruction and prolonged protection.

The product should only be used in conjunction with the supplied metal stand.

Insecticide spray

An aerosol can against mosquitoes from "Fumitox" contains an agent that acts on insects in a contact-intestinal way. It actively works in the fight against various blood-sucking parasites. Spray "Fumitox" contains a combination of substances:

• d-allethrin;
• d-pentorin;
• tetramethrin.

The aerosol can has a bright purple color with a tight-fitting lid . The atomizer allows for fine atomization of the liquid filled into it in the air. The volume of the balloon is 100 ml.

This is quite enough for treating a medium-sized room, inner space of a tent or camping from blood-sucking parasites.

Terms of use

Instructions for use for each form of release of "Fumitox" products will also differ. It is worth learning a little more about how to properly use the different options for the brand's products.

Spray can . It is intended for indoor use. The container is shaken thoroughly, windows and doors are closed in the room. The product is sprayed into the air at a distance of no closer than 1 m from the surface of walls and furnishings, moving from a window or far wall to the door. In a room with an area of up to 12 m2, the spray duration is 7-9 seconds, special attention is paid to the surfaces of window frames, nets. Then the room is closed for 15 minutes, after which time it is thoroughly ventilated.

Plates . One tablet is designed for an area of 15 m2. Before use, it is removed from the package, installed on the surface of the heating element in an electric fumigator, then the device is turned on. After 10-15 minutes, the remedy will begin to work.

With the windows open, it is allowed to keep the electrofumigator operating throughout the night. With the windows closed, it is turned off as soon as the insects are destroyed.

Liquid . In this form, the product is designed for 20 m2 of area. The bottle is released from the cap, screwed into the corresponding socket of the electrofumigator. The device is connected to the network, wait 10 minutes until it heats up, and the liquid begins to evaporate. The agent is left in the fumigator until the insects are completely destroyed.

Spirals . This type of brand product is intended for outdoor use. The tool works for 8 hours. The spiral is removed from the individual packaging, fixed on a special stand, then set on fire from one end.

It is important that slow smoldering is maintained and not intense burning.

The fumigator itself - the device - must also be used correctly . It can only be plugged into a working socket. It is forbidden to touch the body of the device under voltage with wet hands. The start of the fumigator will be indicated by a special indicator light. To replace and install plates, a bottle of liquid, the device must be disconnected from the power supply.

How and where to store?

The storage of special fumigating agents must be carried out correctly, taking into account the recommendations

• Do not leave the appliance plugged in for more than 8-12 hours . The same goes for spirals. Their smoldering is usually limited to a limit of 8 hours. After that, the pyrotechnic fumigator is removed from the stand.
• After use, the plates are stored in foil branded packaging . Each of them is designed for 8-10 hours of use. If the storage rules are violated, chemical insecticides disappear much faster.
• Vials with liquids are disconnected from the fumigator after use . They must be kept tightly closed, under a special protective cap.
• It is advisable to store the spirals in protective packaging after use . This will prevent the product from evaporating. Instead of cellophane, it is better to use food foil.
• At the end of use, the packaging from liquids or plates is disposed of . No additional precautions are needed. Dispose of repellent cylinders only following the manufacturer's recommendations. It is strictly forbidden to throw them into fire.
• All Fumitox products must be kept away from children . They are stored in a dry, protected place at room temperature.
