I'll advise people to stay away from sniper!!!
I stop breathing when I enter a room that has been "soaked" in sniper. I know people prefer it coz they feel the harsh smell can do the magic of killing stubborn mosquitos... Brethren it's a lie. The mosquitos in my house don't fall under the sniper anointing, I'm the only one who does the falling!
Sniper is harmful, I don't need to be told. I don't know what medical terms they give to the effects but I know breath seizure is one of them, itchy throat and coughing... That's for me sha...
you're not suppose to be in the room with sniper. use it before going to work or class then come back to open windows (with net o)

this chemicals na WA, I bought one that promised to kill mosquitos but instead wanted to kill and destroy my eyes. I couldn't sleep throughout the night as my eyes were pouring water and shining like wilili.

I will never use them again, but why did God create mosquitos? these animals are bokoharams ...

It's sad how they bite me every night with such a passion that I'm flattered
buy mosquito net.

100% safe just make sure you stay outside for Atleast 1hour 30mins after spraying it. ....also get a sprayer for better results cost less than 1k.

1.open all your windows
2.mix sniper with kerosene for better results
3.wear your original nose mask cost 300naira
4.pour the mixed sniper into your sprayer
5.spray Every part of the house including your curtains With all windows still open
6.close the doors and stay outside for almost 2hours
That's all


Remember to wash your sprayer with water after use.

Sniper was not meant for mosquito its an agricultural product for farm use.

A lot of people use it because it's cheap and effective for mosquito. Be warned

I feel the way out is by using insecticide treated net.. That's the best way to avoid air contamination especially for kids..



Lagos heat is quite intense ooooo.

Sniper is just a brand name for one of the top three agro chemical companies in Nigeria. It is the number one selling brand in Nigeria in its category. The active chemical in Sniper is DDVP which is responsible for both its efficacy for pest control and toxicity to human health. Many if not all top agro chemical companies in Nigeria like Jubaili Agrotech, Candel, Wacott etc have their brands. As a former staff of Saro Agrochemical, I can tell you that DDVP dominated products are multi billion naira products in Nigeria market. They sell like sachet water! Unfortunately, Nigerians abuse them. Out of ignorance and the desire to get rid of pestering creatures like mosquitoes and roaches, we use them as if they are safe. But the truth is, Sniper and other DDVP products are very toxic and can kill with ease. So my advice is always read instructions on the label of any product and be careful how you use them.

Thanks for this enlightenment.. Just a few days back I was cleaning my room and decided to use sniper in the process, I immediately noticed I couldn't breathe properly, before I knew it, symptoms became severe as I couldn't ever take a walk down to my bathroom without gasping for breadth... Was really curious as to what could possible be the cause... Decided to check the internet.. And here it was, hazadous sniper... I should warn my friends too... Thanks Guys

This topic should be moved to front page so that people can be careful when applying sniper. I almost died of sniper last night and decided to do some research about it and came across this on nairaland.
Sniper is very effective but really dangerous and should be handled with utmost care when being applied. Contact with the skin can even be fatal and should be rinsed off immediately with soap and water. Do not inhale the vapours to prevent stories that touch.

Cc Seun and all admins, kindly move this to front page so that people can be aware of the dangers of indiscriminate use of sniper.

I've always suspected this sniper to be detrimental.. but what can one do? People use them alot and the fact that it's cheap is contributing to its gross misuse.

I hate insecticides generally esp aerosolised ones. I hate to perceive them on the bed sheet, clothes, surfaces or any where else in the house. So even after use, one has to do a thorough cleaning, notwithstanding the insecticide used.

No doubt o... me I've used sniper but I prefer to just place drops of it in a cotton wool and place in strategic positions in the room or put the drops directly to where I want them... though I know the method isn't as effective as spraying.

Another thing people do alot is not spraying the whole house at d same time eg. spray parlour stay in the room, you spray kitchen and stay in parlour....meanwhile the doors to these parts of the house don't even close well.

Generally, insecticides are dangerous. Add more cautious to usage no matter the type. None is risk-free.
You can even make them your last resort... clean your environment, netted doors and windows, remove stuffs you no longer need from the house (stop saving rubbish you'll never use again), get rid of cartons... cockroaches like them alot,

the more floor space and top spaces you have to clean, the less hideouts you'll have for rodents and cockroaches.

Reading the cover on the popular Sniper used by most lagosians for mosquito control, it is clearly written that it is meant for outdoor use and should be mix with water to reduce the concentration.
However most household use for indoor mosquito control on daily basis , though seems effective want to believe there is a residual effect on ones health. I need expert opinion on this. Will get the active composition and post as well

Mine was worst. I nearly died from this stuff. Went to many hospitals but non could give proper diagnosis of what my illness was. I had lung blockage and nasal blockage. For two weeks. I was invalid. Did test and non could explain why i was having those symptoms. I was being treated of asthma. For over a year. I wore protective clothing for cold. Until i discovered the source of my illness. I improved the freshness of oxygen around my home and all the symptoms simply vanished. Nowadays. I dare not even dare touch its empty bottle. I will be immediately hit with an involuntary volts of sneezings. It was really a lucky break.
You had covid which appeared earlier
