Hovex Germgard Insect Control Bomb 125g – 3 Pack Total-Release Fogger

Hovex Germgard Insect Control Bomb 125g (3 Pack): Total-Release Insect Fogger

The Hovex Germgard Insect Control Bomb is a total-release fogger, the type of "bug bomb" you set off in a closed room to clear an insect infestation in one go. It fills an enclosed space with insecticide mist that settles into the cracks, crevices and floor coverings where pests hide, so it's suited to a room that's genuinely infested rather than a spot spray for the odd bug. This is a 3-pack of 125g cans, letting you treat up to three rooms or enclosed areas.

What It Kills

It controls a broad range of common household pests: cockroaches, fleas, spiders, silverfish, moths, carpet beetles and ants. It's designed for indoor, enclosed areas such as bedrooms, kitchens, laundries and pet living areas.

How It Works

There are two active constituents doing different jobs. Permethrin at 10 g/kg is the insecticide, giving the knockdown and kill of the insects listed above. Fenoxycarb at 0.77 g/kg is an insect growth regulator, and this is the clever part: rather than killing adult fleas, it interferes with the flea life cycle so that eggs and larvae can't develop into biting adults. That's what lets it stop flea reinfestation for up to 3 months, well after the initial treatment has knocked down the adults.

How to Use It Safely

A fogger is not a spray, and using it safely matters, because the propellant is flammable and the mist fills the whole space. Read the label fully first, then, before setting it off:

Remove all people and pets from the area, including birds, and cover fish tanks and turn off their pumps. Turn off every ignition source, pilot lights, gas appliances, stoves and any naked flame, since the propellant can ignite. Switch off air conditioners, heaters and fans. In a kitchen or pantry, cover or remove food, dishes and utensils and wipe down prep surfaces afterwards. Close all the windows and doors of the room.

Set off the bomb as directed on the label, leave the room sealed and vacate it for the time stated on the pack, then come back and air the room out thoroughly by opening doors and windows before anyone or any pet returns. Don't re-enter until the space has been ventilated.

Coverage and the 3-Pack

Use one bomb per room or enclosed area, and don't exceed the room-size limit on the label, since more product in a smaller space isn't safer or more effective. The 3-pack suits a typical treatment where you want to do a few rooms at once, for example a couple of bedrooms and a living area, or to keep spares for a follow-up treatment if pests return.

Stops Flea Reinfestation for Up to 3 Months

Fleas are the pest most people buy a bomb for, and they're also the hardest to clear, because the adults you see are only part of the problem. Most of a flea population is eggs, larvae and pupae sitting in carpet and bedding. The permethrin knocks down the adults, while the fenoxycarb growth regulator keeps working on the eggs and larvae, breaking the cycle so new fleas don't emerge for up to 3 months. For a bad flea problem, treating pets and washing bedding at the same time gives the best result.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Hovex Germgard bomb kill?
Cockroaches, fleas, spiders, silverfish, moths, carpet beetles and ants in indoor, enclosed areas.

What are the active ingredients?
Permethrin at 10 g/kg, which kills the insects, and fenoxycarb at 0.77 g/kg, an insect growth regulator that stops fleas breeding back.

How do I use it safely?
Remove people and pets, cover fish tanks and turn off their pumps, turn off all pilot lights, flames, gas appliances, fans and air conditioning, and cover food. Close the room, set the bomb off, leave for the time on the label, then air the room out well before returning.

Do I really need to turn off pilot lights and flames?
Yes. The propellant is flammable, so any naked flame, pilot light or gas appliance must be off before you set off a fogger. This is the most important safety step.

How long does the flea protection last?
It stops flea reinfestation for up to 3 months, because the growth regulator prevents flea eggs and larvae from developing into new adults.

How many rooms can I treat?
One bomb per room or enclosed area, following the room-size limit on the label. The 3-pack lets you treat up to three rooms, or keep spares for a follow-up.

Do I need to cover my fish tank?
Yes. Remove or cover aquariums and turn off their pumps, and keep birds and other pets out of the treated area until it's been aired out.

Where can I buy the Hovex Germgard bomb in Australia?
You can buy the 125g 3-pack from BPG Supplies, shipped Australia-wide.
