Frequently Asked Questions – Insecticides

Insecticides are a subgroup of biocides, specifically designed to control insects. They include chemical or biological substances that kill or repel harmful insects such as mosquitoes, cockroaches, ants, moths, wasps, and others. Insecticides are widely used both in agriculture and in household environments.

Insecticides destroy insects either by contact or by ingestion. Some act quickly, while others have a long-lasting effect.

Gels and sprays containing acetamiprid-based insecticides are often the most effective.

It depends on the product. With fast-acting sprays, results can be seen within minutes, while with gel baits it may take a few days for the bait to reach the insects’ nest.
