The problem of pests and diseases in premises
According to the sanitary and epidemiological services of Ukraine, about 30% of warehouses and 20% of catering establishments face insect problems annually. Cockroaches, bedbugs, ants and rodents not only cause material damage, but are also carriers of diseases. For example, cockroaches can spread salmonellosis, and mold in premises causes allergic reactions. The solution is professional disinsection and disinfection using modern technologies, such as Aktellik smoke bombs and fog generators.
Why is this relevant for Ukraine?
In the humid climate of Ukraine, especially in the western and central regions, premises are often at risk of mold and insects. Warehouses, restaurants, hotels and private homes require regular treatment. For example, in Kyiv and Odessa in 2024, there was a 15% increase in calls to disinsection services compared to 2023. This is due to the increase in the number of warehouses and food enterprises.
What are Aktellik smoke bombs?
Aktellik smoke bombs are insecticidal agents based on the active substance pirimiphos-methyl. They emit smoke that penetrates hard-to-reach places, destroying insects. Smoke bombs are effective against cockroaches, bedbugs, ants and other pests. Their advantages:
- High penetrating power.
- Ease of use.
- Efficient in closed spaces, such as basements and warehouses.
However, smoke bombs have limitations: they are not recommended for use in residential premises due to the risk of toxicity. More information on this is in the safety section.
Hot and cold fog generators: How do they work?
Fog generators are professional equipment that create an aerosol with insecticide particles sized 1–100 microns. They come in two types:
- Cold fog generators: Spray the solution at room temperature. Suitable for treating residential premises.
- Hot fog generators: Heat the solution, creating smaller particles (1–20 microns), which increases penetrating ability. Ideal for warehouses and large spaces.
According to Ukrainian pest control services, fog generators are 40% more effective than traditional sprayers due to the uniform distribution of insecticide.
