The video amassed an impressive 840,000 views, 38,000 likes, and over 1,000 comments from grateful users. People couldn’t thank her enough for sharing the product and opening their eyes to a potential solution for their own cockroach problems. Some even chimed in with helpful advice for anyone planning to try the fogger themselves.
One user, @CeeNathi, joked, "Problem kuyo clean bani after (who is going to clean afterwards)? 😒 😪" Another, @Violet, asked a practical question: "Hi. I’m curious—after the four hours, do you need to wash your clothes and bedding? And I see eggs on top of the fridge—aren’t they contaminated?"
@Ntswaki Matlou512 shared some expert advice: "For best results, fog on a weekend when the whole family is traveling and leave it over the weekend. When I moved in four years ago where I’m staying now, I fogged—and to date, I’ve never seen one."
@seli_mumk couldn't wait to try it herself, commenting, "Wow, running to Builders now 🙏🙏." Meanwhile, @Niko Baloyi reminded everyone, "Remove all unsealed food products from the house if you plan on doing any fumigation."
