Product Information
Full details
The Nippon Pest Smoke Insect Killer by Vitax is an ideal solution for homeowners dealing with persistent indoor infestations like bedbugs, fleas, ants, and flying insects. By utilizing a powerful permethrin-based smoke, this fumigator reaches deep into cracks, crevices, and voids that traditional sprays cannot access, ensuring thorough eradication. While highly effective, it requires the temporary evacuation and sealing of the treated space, making it unsuitable for homes where immediate or constant access to every room is required.

FAQs
Can I stay in the house while the smoke is active?
No. You must evacuate all humans, pets, and plants from the room or building being treated to prevent inhalation of the insecticide.
Will this stain my carpets or walls?
The product is designed to be dry and odourless, but it is always best to place the unit on a protective heat-resistant tray to avoid surface scorching.
How long should I wait before entering the room again?
It is recommended to leave the room closed for at least two hours, though leaving it overnight provides the best results. Always ventilate for 30 minutes before re-entering.
Is this safe to use in a kitchen?
You must remove or tightly seal all food, food preparation surfaces, and utensils before initiating the smoke treatment.
Can I use this in an attic?
Yes, it is effective in confined spaces like attics, provided they can be sealed properly to keep the smoke contained.
Troubleshooting
The smoke generator failed to ignite.
Ensure the fuse is clear and you are using a consistent heat source to light the wick. If the wick remains damp or damaged, do not force ignition; contact the manufacturer.
Pests are still visible after one treatment.
For severe infestations, a second application may be necessary. Ensure the room was properly sealed during the first treatment to prevent the smoke from escaping.
