Question from Bygone Times

[Gonzo the Face]

Historical Question ..... I have now lived in Thailand for around 30 years.  Before finding myself here, I had a home in Florida, USA, for years.  Back then, back there, it being tropical like here, you would have your home bug sprayed every so often .  Back then we also had the ability to buy what we, on the street, called a "Bug Bomb".  This was a little can/canister that enabled you to close off a room or rooms and put this canister in and set it off.  It was an aerosol canister that would spew out a fog that would kill all bugs and insects.  You left the room closed for a couple hours then came back and opened it up and aired it out for a bit.  But all bugs and insects were gone.   Does anyone know where here locally a "Bug Bomb" or something similar can be purchased??  I have looked with no success.  Any serious reply will be appreciated.

Nothing like that seems to be available in Thailand. There are  many aerosol products but I would be  careful because some of them are horribly toxic !

I am curious as to why after  30 years  you  now feel you need a Bug Bomb ?

My 4 legged baby apparently brought home some fleas/tics and I don't want them to spread all over the place.

There's fumigator available under the name Ars 'Kwan' or smoke, comes in clear plastic can with red label, you put water in the bottom end of the can, lower the fumigator in and the heater inside start smoking out the insecticide

Treat the "4 legged baby" for ticks.

You might try asking at a vets office for the bug bomb.

I think there's a shot vets can give that kills them. there's also a dog collar that kills them.

I have three little "poms", one may be over weight, but they stay only in the house.  On two occasions one of the dogs picked up ticks which most times were from the doggie salon.  Bravecto, expensive, but very effective and the treatment is long term against ticks and fleas.

The bug bomb, ARS Kwan, can be bought at Home Pro.

Now if only someone would come up with a  remedy for geckos/lizards - the common house variety.

I have tried some of the stuff I  saw on the internet.  Peacock feathers even! Even got a green paste from the local farm store.  Placed sticky papers.  No luck.

Short of releasing snakes,  there doesn't seem to be an answer.

The Bravecto products manufacturer sez its safe, but there is a lot of reporting of it causing death to the animals.

Had to use it twice within the last three years.  My doggies are still alive and they "keep on beggin..."
