Gonzo the Face Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 (edited) 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.

Dumbastheycome Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 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 ?

Treat the "4 legged baby" for ticks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trillian Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 You might try asking at a vets office for the bug bomb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rama Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 I think there's a shot vets can give that kills them. there's also a dog collar that kills them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProbPossConf Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 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.

Wandr Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bravecto products manufacturer sez its safe, but there is a lot of reporting of it causing death to the animals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProbPossConf Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Had to use it twice within the last three years. My doggies are still alive and they "keep on beggin..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
