Get Rid of Insect Infestations Fast
Whether it’s bed bugs, cockroaches, moths, or any other insect that’s infesting your property, these smoke fumers are the quickest and most effective way to get rid of them. They make up an essential part of any insect killer kit, offering incredible coverage and treating spots that would otherwise be too difficult to reach. The smoke permeates into the tiniest nooks and crannies, carrying its powerful insecticide into every corner of your room.
Super-Powerful Professional-Grade Active Ingredient
Each fumer contains permethrin, a powerful, naturally-derived ingredient that’s used in professional-grade insecticides. It quickly knocks down and kills both flying and crawling insects, meaning that with enough fumers you can clear out almost any size room.
Suitable for Use Against Any Insect
This is a truly all-purpose insect-killing solution. It’s effective against bed bugs, wasps, ants, silverfish, cockroaches, poultry mites, moths, fleas, cluster flies, and more.
Non-Sparking Wick
These fumers are designed to be as easy as possible to use, even if you’re not a pest control expert. The wicks don’t spark as they burn down, so they won’t scorch their surroundings or leave behind sooty marks.
No Lingering Odours
Unlike many smoke bombs, Fortefog fumers don’t leave behind much of an odour. After leaving your windows open for a short while any lingering odours will be completely gone, allowing you to use your room as normal.
No Need to Leave the House
While you will need to leave the affected room until the fumigation treatment is finished, you don’t have to leave your house. You’ll also be able to re-enter the affected room after just a few hours, making it the most convenient solution for home use.
Rates of Application
The area of effect that each fumer can effectively cover varies depending on the type of insect you’re trying to treat. One fumer can cover an area of;
- 34 Cubic metres for bed bugs, ants and cockroaches
- 164 Cubic metres for fleas and carpet moths
- 548 Cubic metres for other flying insects
How to Use
- Before treatment, ensure drawers and wardrobes etc are emptied and left open to ensure maximum coverage.
- Ensure all windows and doors are closed.
- Place the smoke bomb on a heat resistant surface in the centre of the room and light the wick.
- Leave the room and close the door. If possible, block up any gaps in the door frame.
- Wait for at least 3 hours.
- Re-enter the room and ventilate by opening any windows. You may see some bugs openly crawling or flying around – this is normal. The insecticide in the smoke works by attacking the insect’s brain, so it leads to confusion and erratic movement before death.

Did the job for cluster flies in the attic. Used 3 in a very large attic of a 4 bedroom house with an extension (inc more roof space). Flies starting kicking off in February after a warmish summer day. These foggers did the job in one go. Make sure you do not use them on a windy day as this may lessen the effect in an attic.

Frequently asked questions
I have a smoke alarm in the room that I want to use the smoke treatment will it set the alarm off. I wanted to do treatment while we go out with dogs a couple hours.
Yes, please disarm the alarm, and after 3 hours after ventilating the room return & reset your smoke alarm.
Confusing responses about whether to leave clothes in drawers or not. Please clarify. Should clothes be removed from drawers and wardrobe or not? Thank you
Please keep your clothes in the drawers and wardrobes.
I have a moth infestation in an upright piano. Have cleared it out for the most part but would like to use one of these in the room. Would this product damage the inside like the strings? Thanks
Please do not place the fumer in the piano; place it on a heat-resistant tray or plate in the centre of the room; light the paper wick and leave the room for 3 hours. Return and ventilate the treated area. This will not damage the strings in any way.
Hi I was previously in contact about a moth infestation in a piano. I know not to place the product in the piano, my question is whether the fumes are safe in that room? And does it clear the larvae as well as the adult moths?
The fumes are safe in the room. Return after 3 hours and ventilate the room. It will kill the larvae & adults but not the eggs so repeat again in 8 to 10 days.
Hi, we have bed bugs in room.. is it effective against killing it?
Yes, it will kill any flying or crawling insect but not the eggs so retreatment is required between 7 to 10 days later. Make sure you have the correct size fumer for your room size.
When using to rid bed bugs do I have to strip the bed and sofa bare ? I had many clothes can I leave them in the room? And when do I repeat the treatment?
Yes, remove all your bedding and place it in a bin liner to take to your washing machine. Open all wardrobes and drawers so the smoke will circulate. Repeat the treatment 7 to 10 days later.
I inherited carpet beetles when I moved into my house 8 years ago. The beetles appear about mid May, having done their damage. When should the treatment be done? I always use Fortefog when I find them, but they reappear every year. Thank you!
Carpet beetles are usually present between April to October each year. They are more prominent in May, June, and October after the eggs have hatched. Please repeat the treatment until they are eliminated. Do they also return to the same location on your property?
I have silverfish problem, and they came from attic. The attic is ca 40m square, and is covered by insulation fabric. how many fumer should I use to kill silverfish ?and do I need to take away all the insulation material before using?
Please investigate the leak in the attic to locate the area of the damp. Please remove the insulation material before using the fumers. The 16g fumers would be the size required.
I have a moth problem, both in the carpets and clothes in several rooms and on the staircase and corridor. If I use a bomb in the bathroom is it ok to leave the sheets and towels in the airing cupboard in the same room?
In the bedrooms can you leave the clothes in the chest of drawers and cupboards or will they get damaged?
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you.
Please open any drawers or wardrobes so that the smoke can circulate around the room. Please remove the towels and bed sheets from the treated room in case you have sensitive skin.
Hi. There seems to be mixed messaging around clothing. Please confirm if wardrobes and drawers should be left open with clothes in? Or if they should be emptied first? Thanks
The wardrobes and drawers should be left open with the clothes left inside while the treatment is actioned.
Hi
I have a cat living with me in my large studio which has 2 rooms plus a bathroom
Are these bombs safe to use with cats and what about all the other products like the sprays and powders - are they all safe to use around cats ?
It would only be possible to use the products then wait a good few hours before entering the studio
We’d have to go back in to sleep the same night
Thanks
You would need to remove your cat from the studio that you need to treat. After 3 hours return to the studio and ventilate the area below letting your cat return to the room. You can sleep in the treated room after following the instructions and fully ventilating the room.
My dog got infested with dandruff mites. (Cheyletiella ) 5 months into treatment for my dog, the infestation is still around my home despite constant hot washing, vacuuming and spraying the home along with treatment for myself. Will the fog bombs work to kill these particular mange mites?

This can be used in the infected room only if the pets, bird, hamster and fish are all removed. This will kill aquatic life.
It is safe for children and pets to return to the ventilated room after a minimum of 3 hours.
It is safe for children and pets to return to the ventilated room after a minimum of 3 hours.
We have mites in multiple rooms of the house, I believe there are two types, a light brown one and a black one. Would this product work on these? We have two small children so would the smoke residue be harmful to them if it were to get on toys etc? Thanks
These Fumers will kill any flying or crawling insects that are in the room when the treatment is applied. After a minimum of 3 hours return and ventilate the room. This will leave a residue that is safe for adults, children & pets. You can wipe down your children's toys if required but it is not necessary.
Hi how do I treat a chicken coop with the smoke bombs? The bedroom area is enclosed however the outside area is completely open just with chicken wire will the smoke still be able to work?

Yes, this is safe for pets and children after the treatment is completed and the room is then ventilated.
Hi I have a carpet moth problem. I can see that this product takes care of the moths and larva but does
It kill of the eggs prior to hatching. Also will this product do any damage to electricals in the rooms I.e tv.
Thanks
Ben
No product can kill the egg until it hatches due to it been sealed. You do not need to cover your electrical appliances.
Would these be suitable for use in a chip boarded loaf for an investation of flies? Also is the smoke likely to be of a quantity that seeped out of the roof causing concern with neighbours?
These can be used in a loft but must be on a heat resistant tray or plate away from any flammable items. If the roof is fully sealed no smoke should seep out.
I have a workshop in my garden and this time of the year gets infested with spiders will your smoke bomb kill these off
Regards
Simon Tullett
Although we cannot advise you to kill spiders, this product will kill most crawling and flying insects, including arachnids.
When opening drawers etc do the bombs leave residue on clothing that's harmful to children with eczema ?
We would recommend emptying all drawers and wardrobes before using them. Wash your clothes on the highest temperature setting instead to kill any pests that might be hiding in them.
Will this kill of cockroaches
Yes, this will eradicate any flying or crawling insects. Please follow the instruction label.
Hi i am over run with australian spider beetles i have had a professional fumigator out 3 times but they are still here all alive, was wondering if these smoke bombs would help at getting rid of them, this is affecting my mental health really bad as i can't see anyway of getting them gone, any help or tips would be greatful appreciated, Thank you.
Thank you for your enquiry.
To treat a roof space the easiest way is with Fortefog Fumers, remember to use the correct number of fumers based on 1 16g fumer for each 34m³. To treat the rest of the house, if these beetles have come down out of the roof space, a regular spray treatment should be carried out to wall/floor junctions with a residual insecticide over a period of about three months, we would recommend Protector C or Biopren. Remember, spray kills the adults and the larvae but it doesn't kill the egg or the pupae, so the treatment has to be carried out over a period of time so that it gives the eggs and pupae a chance to become larvae or adults and thus be susceptible to the spray.
Hi, I have plaster beetles in my new builfb and they seem to be coming from the attic, my house has been checked for damp and leaks, I have also had 4 dehumidifiers running for about 6 months but still seeing around 5/6 a day maybe less, will these fumers help to get rid of the straddles?
No, but we would recommend using the Xterminate & Prevent Auto Package

https://www.hygienesuppliesdirect.com/xterminate-cluster-fly-killer-package-for-lofts-and-attics
Hi,
We have a wasp nest in our loft. At this time (January) there is no activity, just lots of bodies.
When is the correct time to use your Fumer bombs and how many treatments?
I have not been able to locate the actual nest but there is definitely one there. Using powders or sprays is problematic, without location. Can the bombs alone reach the queens deep in the nest?
The best time to treat a wasps nest is at night when they are less aggressive. Leave the treated area at least 24 hours.
We getting bitten by invisible insects / mites. It starts beginning of July and lasts for 6 weeks. The rest of the year nothing. I have tried flea spray from the vets but still bitten but not as much. Don’t what it is or where it is.
The Fumers will kill any flying or crawling insects in the treated area. We also sell the Prevent Insect REpller linked below that will stop the insects biting

https://www.hygienesuppliesdirect.com/products/prod133371-prevent-insect-repellent-3xaerosol
When using for carpet beetles how many cubic metres does one smoke bomb cover ?
The 16g Fumer covers approximately 34 cubic metres to eradicate Carpet Beetles.
Hi, we have discovered an infestation of grain weevils. As these are in our food cupboards what happens to food when using the smoke bomb? I see we have to remove any open food but what about containers or bottles with food produce in them? And will any residue remain on the containers if we leave them in the room?
Grain weevils are found in dry foods including seeds, cereal, nuts and grain products. Yes, they can be used in the kitchen. Please remove any open packets before treatment. However, we would advise you to wash any containers and also areas where food preparation is made after using the smoke bombs.
Hi.will these work on silverfish? Thanks
Yes, the Fumers will kill any flying or crawling insect. They will severely damages the silverfish’s ability to function – ultimately leading to their death.
What is the active ingeredient?
The active ingredient is Permethrin.
Hi im in sheltered accomadation and i most likely think ive bed bugs will.it set off my smoke alarms. Look forward to your email
If the room been treated contains a smoke alarm then yes it will trigger the smoke alarm.
We think we have bed bugs if we use this item do we need to remove all clothes from the bedroom ?
The clothes can be left in the room at the time of the treatment with your wardrobe and drawers left open so that the smoke can circulate around the room. When removing your clothes to wash please place into a bin bag to transfer to your washing machine.
We have carpet beetle, is this product suitable?
Yes this product is suitable for carpet beetle.
What do i do to food and clothes? should i clear the whole house?
then have smoke treatment?I have fleas and flying moths i think .It eats away the carpets etc but flees are different which i have noticed now.
should i put away the dishes etc?
what happens if the smoke comes in contact with the fruits lying outside?
Clothes can remain in the treated area but any opened food packets should be removed prior to treating the room. Any dishes that come into contact with the smoke should be washed afterwards, so if you want to avoid doing this, remove before use. The fumer is for indoor use, so should not come into contact with fruits outside. Ensure windows and doors are closed for up to three hours, until the smoke has disappeared.
Hello, I do hope you can help me. I have a problem with tiny white mites, look like grains of dust, I bought a bag of threads online a year ago they did smell quite foisty, after placing them in the attic was when I began to notice these bloody pests,I've tried all.sorts, red raid spray only seems to work. Will these smoke bombs kill them off too.
I await your earliest reply
Regards
Samantha
The Fortefog fumers would be suitable to get rid of the white mites. However, we would also recommend using them in conjunction with the Protector C spray. Retreating every 7 - 10 days until the infestation has cleared is also strongly recommended.
Will these kill off woodworm ? Thanks Tim
They will kill any woodworm on the surface of the wood, but woodworm can run deep into the wood fibres, and usually require professional treatment to get rid of it fully.
