A few words about Tetrix
As noted above, Tetrix is a drug originally from the Netherlands, which in itself is a little reassuring, but brings to mind the possibility of a large number of fakes, since the cost of the product is quite high.
When we called a number of organizations that have established themselves in the Moscow market and have been involved in pest control for decades, including state sanitary and epidemiological control services, we received the overwhelming majority of affirmative answers about the positive qualities of this product.
In addition to the fact that many organizations use it in their pest control work, they are also distributors of Tetrix. This is a very important point, since real Tetrix is sold in large packages. The smallest volume that can be purchased is a metal bottle with a capacity of 250 ml. This amount of concentrate will be enough to treat three two-room apartments and one change house.
“We bought Tetrix reluctantly, because the drug is quite expensive, and all the products have good advertising - go check which one is more effective. We treated all the cracks in the floor, all the furniture, sockets, cabinets, in short, everything that was in the room. We weren’t home for a day, then we washed everything and vacuumed it. A week later, even though the bugs didn’t bother us, we repeated the treatment - just in case. And for six months now there have been no parasites in the house. So it’s quite a worthy remedy, although not cheap.” Oleg
Tetrix is a remedy that acts against certain types of domestic insects, which include bedbugs and fleas. This is also good news, since the narrower the spectrum of action of the drug, the higher its effectiveness. As a rule, drugs that act on a large number of parasites are very mediocre for each of them.
Cypermethrin is used as a working agent for Tetrix. This insecticide is famous for its popularity in professional insecticidal treatments. Let's take a closer look at it.
Cypermethrin
Cypermethrin is a man-made compound that was first created in 1974. Since then, the drug has become a popular choice for controlling pests on plants, and a little later it was used as an active remedy against many types of insects in residential areas.
The US Environmental Protection Agency classifies several products that contain cypermethrin as restricted insecticides due to the potential toxicity of the active substance. Depending on the specific commercial product, a product may be classified as moderately toxic (Class 2) or slightly toxic (Class 3). A similar toxicity class is used in Russia.
How is cypermethrin toxic to insects?
The substance affects the sodium channels of neurons and binds to the lipophilic environment of the membrane. As a result, a depolarizing outflow of ions occurs. Cypermethrin exhibits such properties more strongly when compared with other types of substances of the pyrethroid class.
As a result of these processes, the frequency of tissue contractions increases due to repeated discharges. Soon the parasite dies. The parasite dies as soon as possible
Environmental impact
It must be taken into account that when sprayed, the poison tends to accumulate, but after 20-30 days it is destroyed. For this reason, you should not use the drug uncontrollably, like other drugs.
Composition and mechanism of action
Tetrix for bedbugs is a two-component remedy. It contains substances of different types:
- cypermethrin;
- metaphos.
The composition of this drug differs significantly from its analogues. Many of them contain common substances of the pyrethroid class, FOS. However, Tetrix contains an ester - metaphos. This is a methyl analogue of thiophos, which belongs to organophosphorus compounds.
The drug is supplied in liquid form. This is a concentrate that contains a significant dose of toxic substances. It cannot be used in its pure form, which will not only increase the consumption of poison, but also contribute to the deterioration of human health.
Operating principle
working solution (after mixing the concentrate and water) is based on the ability to disrupt the central nervous system of parasites.
This is achieved by getting the substance onto the chitinous covers of offspring and adults. Then the poison penetrates the hemolymph and affects neurons.
General description and composition
Tetrix is one of the most effective means for removing bedbugs and other parasitic pests (mostly synanthropic blood-sucking insects). Most reviews of Tetrix are positive, many only complain about the high cost of the product.
Tetrix composition:
- cypermethrin is the main active ingredient that has a destructive effect when it enters the body of an insect;
- metaphos - an extremely toxic substance that destroys hemoglobin in the lymph (blood) of insects, penetrates the body by air and transdermal routes;
- excipients: emulsifiers, stabilizers, catalysts.
It is most profitable to purchase Tetrix in large quantities, this way you can save a lot, but for home use the canister will be too much (50 ml is enough)
The cost of Tetrix depends on the volume of the container:
- 250 ml bottles – about 2400 rubles;
- 500 ml bottles - about 4,300 rubles;
- PET canisters for 1 liter – about 5,600 rubles;
- plastic canister for 5 liters - about 20,600 rubles;
- plastic canister for 20 liters - about 11,000 rubles, for 100 liters - about 45,000 rubles;
- tin barrels for 200 liters - about 820,000 rubles.
You can purchase the drug in specialized insecticide stores. It is rarely sold in household chemical stores.
How does Tetrix act on bedbugs, and how effective is the product? (+video)
Tetrix has a double effect: contact and intestinal, but the result is always a disruption of the nervous system of insects. Metaphos is quickly absorbed by the body of the parasite, and after metaphos enters its body, the functions of acetylcholinesterase are blocked.
The result is overload of the parasite’s nervous system with failure of internal organs. Cypermethrin has a similar mechanism of action, but it is more aimed not at large individuals of parasites, but at their larvae or adults.
Cypermethrin destroys eggs and larvae of parasites, creating passive protection. That is, even after a single use, the product will provide protection against the appearance of a new colony of insects for 50-70 days.
In total, the drug works like this: metaphos destroys adult offspring, and their cypermethrin kills the larvae, creating a protective barrier. And even if some individual eggs or insect larvae survive, after hatching the parasites will still die due to passive protection.
Is the product dangerous for humans and pets?
Tetrix is an extremely poisonous drug for mammals (which includes people and pets). Therefore, it must be used in strict accordance with the instructions and only in protective equipment.
Initially, the product was created for use by professional pest control services; only relatively recently did “civil solutions” appear for independent home use. This is why the product is so toxic.
A person wearing a change of clothes, a respirator or even a gas mask, construction glasses and rubber gloves should work with it. When working indoors, it must be ventilated, and access to unauthorized people must be prohibited both during processing and for a couple of days after it.
Metaphos
This substance affects the nervous system in a different way, but the result is the same: the functioning of the nervous system is disrupted. The substance is insoluble in water, but is capable of changing structure in oily liquids. It is characterized by an unpleasant odor.
This is a universal product that can be used to remove insects from the site and home. Anastasia, 38 years old, Moscow They used Tetrix to treat my apartment for bedbugs. We did it in 1 approach. There were no more bedbugs. It took quite a long time to clean up the consequences of cleaning the room, but I’m not complaining because I’m happy with the result. Elena, 45 years old, Voronezh I was looking for Tetrix for bedbugs, the reviews are most often positive. This is a strong drug, but also dangerous for humans. It was difficult for me to be at home immediately after treatment. She returned a few days later.
Description of the drug Tetrix
The product contains two potent insecticides: cypermethrin and metaphos (a methyl analogue of thiafos). Thanks to these two poisons, Tetrix for bedbugs effectively destroys any insects, since it combines intestinal and contact action. Tetrix is available in plastic and metal canisters with a volume of 1 and 5 liters, as well as in glass bottles with a volume of 250 milliliters. The drug has a fairly high cost. Moreover, Tetrix can only be purchased online on specialized sites or in large cities. It is not intended for domestic use and is primarily used by pest control services.
Instructions for use
- It is important to note that disinfestation should be carried out by healthy people.
- It is necessary to exclude a situation where there may be children or pregnant women in the room being treated.
- Smoking or eating is prohibited during treatment.
- If this rule is violated, the drug may enter the body.
What to do if the drug gets on the skin:
- In this case, you need to wash this area of the body with soap, and then you need to treat it with a weak solution of ammonia.
- After work, clothes should be soaked in a soda solution before washing.
- Then you need to rinse it until the water becomes completely clear. The initial greenish color of the water is due to products that arise due to the breakdown of metaphos, which occurs as a result of exposure to an alkaline soda solution.
When preparing for work, it is necessary to dilute Tetrix strictly according to the instructions:
- A quarter-liter bottle is usually enough for an area of sixty square meters.
- If we are talking about objects that are quite heavily contaminated , then you can prepare a solution of 100 milliliters of Tetrix dissolved in 3 liters of water.
- For less contaminated areas, it is sufficient to use a solution of 10-50 milliliters per liter of water.
- Surface treatment is carried out by spraying the drug in those places where bedbugs may accumulate.
- After disinsection, it is necessary that no one without a respirator appears in the room where disinsection is being carried out.
- After finishing treatment, all surfaces that can be touched by people or pets should be carefully washed with soap.
- After the completion of pest control work, the effect of this drug will continue for a long time.
Application of the product
If you decide to carry out disinfection yourself with Tetrix, you must remember about safety. Only healthy people can work with the drug. Children, pregnant women, and animals must leave the premises where Tetrix will be used.
You must remember that you should not eat, drink or smoke while using Tetrix. Before starting work, you need to check the spray bottle so that when working with poison you do not have to take off your protective clothing and come into direct contact with it. The processing itself is carried out as follows:
- Dilute the Tetrix product according to the instructions that come with the canister or bottle. Spraying is carried out using a spray bottle. Tetrix should be sprayed on walls, floors under the bed, behind sofas, under carpets, in ventilation, on the back wall of cabinets, pictures and other various secluded places.
- After the bedbug remedy has been applied, you need to wait a couple of hours, then ventilate the room well for three to four hours (this is also indicated in the instructions). Then be sure to wash the floors, doors, tables and all work surfaces with soap.
- If accidentally, during the treatment process or when cleaning the room, the product gets on the skin, then you need to wash it off with warm water . Afterwards, you need to wipe the damaged area with ammonia and wash it again with soap. If the burn is large, it is better to consult a doctor.
- It is better to carefully place clothing used during processing in a bag and dispose of it. If you still need it or it’s just a shame to throw it away, then before washing you need to soak it in soda and rinse well until the water is clear. The green color of the water may appear because the substance thiophos decomposes when interacting with soda.
Safety for people and pets
The package with Tetrix states that this product is quite dangerous. What does this mean? As mentioned above, the drug contains two different poisons. These are cypermethrin and metaphos.
While the first of them has a weak effect on humans (and works well on insects), the second is comparable in strength to strychnine or prussic acid. This is a very dangerous component. Therefore, when working with Tetrix, you must follow the rules for safe handling of the drug.
How does the mentioned poison affect humans? It works when:
- inhalation of vapors;
- contact with the mucous membrane;
- contact with skin.
In order to safely work with this product, you must use a change of clothing, a respirator and gloves. It is also advisable to use special glasses for the eyes. After completing the work, it is necessary to wash thoroughly with soap, change clothes and also do not forget to rinse your mouth.
How safe is Tetrix?
If you carefully examine the label of the Tetrix bedbug remedy, you can easily notice a red square and the inscription “Danger”. These signs, as well as the names of the poisons included in its composition, are indeed indicated for a reason - the product is very dangerous for use by non-professionals.
Although cypermethrin in the composition of the drug is characterized by relatively low toxicity towards humans and animals, nevertheless, the methyl analogue of thiophos is a strong poison of the organophosphorus group. Thiophos and similar substances (metaphos, methylethylthiophos) can be compared in toxicity to hydrocyanic acid or strychnine. Moreover, they are absorbed into the blood very quickly.

And one more thing: Killer methods of killing bedbugs that actually work in practice
You can be poisoned by them only by inhaling their vapors or after getting a large dose of poison on the skin and mucous membranes. If you do not take immediate action in case of poisoning, you may even develop seizures and other unpleasant consequences. Accordingly, if used incorrectly, Tetrix is a poison not only for bed bugs, but also for people.
If you are determined to start exterminating bedbugs with the help of Tetrix, you need to arm yourself with a change of clothes, gloves and a respirator, as well as preferably glasses to protect your eyes. After treating surfaces affected by insects, you need to remove the protective equipment used, wash with soap and rinse your mouth.
Review
On the second floor below us lives such a family... just terrible! The bugs have come from them, so much so that I can’t even sleep at night, I can’t sit on the sofa. Everywhere on the Internet they write about the super drug Tetrix, it seems to kill bedbugs instantly. Only it is sold on Moscow websites, and you still have to wait for delivery. In general, we didn’t wait, we called our disinfection service and made an appointment for treatment.

Advantages and disadvantages of the drug
Advantages:
- This drug acts not only on adult insects, but also on insect larvae and eggs.
- If you repeat the treatment after 10-14 days, this will dramatically increase its reliability.
- High efficiency of this product. It can be applied just once or twice and will reliably get rid of bedbugs in the house.
Flaws:
- Tetrix contains poison and requires care when working so as not to cause harm to health.
- High price.
- Opportunity to buy a fake.
Where to find the remedy
Let's start with the fact that buying the original Tetrix for bedbugs is a very difficult task, since it is almost impossible to find it on the open market. It is also somewhat puzzling that it is not in the register of products that have passed state registration, unlike other common remedies for bedbugs (for example, Medilis Cyper, Fufanon).

And one more thing: The most effective remedies for bedbugs: rating
For those who have seriously decided to buy Tetrix somewhere, let us tell you that it is easiest to find it for residents of cities such as Moscow and St. Petersburg. You can buy Tetrix bedbug repellent in Moscow on highly specialized websites like ecopest.ru, dezservice.ru or disleader.ru, which will easily deliver your order throughout the city and region.
You can buy Tetrix in St. Petersburg on the website www.klop.spb.ru. It must be said that the price of Tetrix in all of the listed organizations is approximately the same.
Now let's see where residents of Russian regions and other countries can buy Tetrix? It is delivered to the regions of Russia (by prepayment) by the same organizations that were mentioned above. But in Ukraine it is quite difficult to buy this drug against bedbugs. The only organization offering it for purchase throughout the country is located at https://pricetorg.at.ua. Offers to sell this product “on tap” should be treated with caution, since in this case the likelihood of counterfeiting is too high.

This is interesting
Before pyrethroids were synthesized (in the 1970s), organophosphorus compounds (OPs) were widely used in agriculture after World War II. Quite unsafe for humans, they still had a more gentle effect on the environment than the previously used organochlorine compounds (DDT and hexachlorane). OPCs also include the chemical warfare gas sarin, which was discovered by the Germans in 1938 while trying to create a new pesticide. The main disadvantages of FOS include the increasing resistance of pests to them, as well as a high level of toxicity for mammals.
Preparing the working mixture
The chemical is concentrated and must be diluted with water; the proportions depend on the degree of bedbug infestation in the apartment and are indicated in the instructions. Before using the insecticide, be sure to shake the bottle for 2-3 minutes.
- For preventive purposes, 10 ml of the product is mixed with 8 liters of warm water. The resulting emulsion will protect your apartment from bedbugs;
- In lightly and moderately contaminated rooms, a bottle of the drug is mixed with 6-7 liters of water;
- In heavily infected areas, a more concentrated solution will be required for treatment. To do this, mix a bottle of Tetrix with three liters of water.
All operations with the drug should be carried out strictly in personal protective equipment: rubber gloves, goggles, respirator and gown
Preparation for processing
Preparatory work before disinfestation consists of providing access to hard-to-reach places in the bedroom where bed bugs like to hide:
- We move all the furniture in the bedroom away from the walls to a distance that will allow us to spray the back walls;
- We remove the bed linen and mattress cover and subject it to heat treatment (washing);
- We take the mattress out of the box and place it on its edge against the wall, with the back side facing you;
- We remove pull-out structures and shelves from bedside furniture.
It is also worth taking care of the safety of people and animals living in the apartment; for this you need:
- Hide all food in the refrigerator;
- Pack the dishes in cling film or cellophane;
- Place children's toys and clothes in vacuum bags;
- Pets must be removed from the apartment during treatment;
- Persons not participating in disinfestation must leave the premises.
We treat the room correctly
Before treatment, be sure to carry out wet cleaning, this will significantly prolong the residual effect of the drug.
We spray the prepared working solution using a country sprayer or spray bottle; if they are not available, you can use an ordinary brush (washcloth) to apply the emulsion, but this will significantly increase the consumption of the finished Tetrix product. The consumption rates of the working mixture are: 50 ml per 1 m², when treating absorbent surfaces - 100 ml per 1 m². The product is rubbed into mattresses, carpets and upholstered furniture; the more infested the apartment, the higher the concentration of the working solution should be.
After the disinfestation is completed, you need to ventilate the apartment for 4-6 hours without the presence of people. Upon return, you should wipe the surfaces with which people most often come into contact with a soap solution with the addition of soda. Dishes must be washed with detergent.
For maximum effect, re-treatment should be done after 14-20 days.
How to use Tetrix against bedbugs?
The treatment is divided into two stages: preparatory and, accordingly, disinfestation of the premises. The preparatory stage includes:
- Removing any utensils, personal hygiene products, and food from the premises.
- Cleaning the premises of plants, birds, aquariums, and pets.
- Cleaning easily portable furniture and toys from the room.
- Moving furniture towards the center to facilitate treatment of parasites’ “favorite places”.
- Removing textiles and bed linen from the room - all this will then need to be washed in order to destroy bedbug eggs (bugs often leave offspring on clothes ).
- Carrying out wet cleaning of the treated area.
Next, you need to put on protective gear (a respirator and gloves are required) and begin processing the room. There should only be one person in the room who is carrying out pest control work.
There should be light ventilation, but without drafts. You need to start processing from the wall opposite the exit from the room with a gradual movement towards the door. Particular care should be taken to treat baseboards, cracks on walls, crevices, and the space under the bed.
After finishing the treatment, you need to leave the room closed for 4-6 hours to achieve maximum effect. During this time, the concentration of toxic substances in the room will reach a maximum, and the entire colony of bedbugs will be infected.
The person who carried out the disinfestation must wash the items being used and must take a shower or a full bath. You need to wash your face with soap, be sure to rinse your nose and throat, and wash your hands with soap 2-3 times.
Instructions for use
Before using the drug, you must carefully read the instructions. Purchase personal protective equipment. You will need gloves, a respirator or mask, goggles and special clothing. After processing, the entire “outfit” will have to be thrown away, or better yet, burned, so choose something that you don’t mind as a protective suit.
Everything will have to be processed. Ceilings, walls, floors, furniture and carpets. First, the places where bedbugs were noticed are sprayed, and then everything else. Particular attention is paid to window sills, baseboards, ventilation grilles, the back of furniture, and dark corners.
The product acts quickly and effectively. A disinfected room will get rid of not only bedbugs, but also other living creatures that you did not suspect. Woodlice, ants, fleas - all are eliminated.
The sprayer should be kept at arm's length. In this position it is convenient to process a significant part of the area at once.
Preliminary preparation
Before the procedure, you need to carry out preliminary preparation.
- Take dishes and food out of the house or wrap everything in cling film.
- Make sure there are no other people or pets in the room. Close the aquarium, if present, tightly.
- Furniture should be moved away from the walls at a distance of twenty centimeters.
- For greater effectiveness, mop the floor.
- Put on overalls and make a solution.
Preparation of solution and consumption of the drug
Tetrix is in a container in concentrated form. Before use, you need to make a solution. To eliminate bedbugs throughout an apartment or house, you need to dilute the contents of just 250 ml of a bottle in seven liters of water. Mix everything well and pour into a sprayer.
This is enough to disinfect a room of one hundred to one hundred twenty square meters.
To kill a large number of bedbugs, you need to increase the concentrate. Dilute the contents of the bottle in three liters of water.
Tetrix can also be used for prevention purposes. This applies to residents of hostels, communal apartments and those with dysfunctional families living nearby. To prevent bedbugs from moving into your home, dilute 10 ml of the drug in 10 liters of water. And treat the room with this solution. In this case, it will be enough to spray window sills, baseboards, doorways and cracks in the floor or walls.
The effectiveness of the product will increase if you use slightly warmed water rather than cold.
Review:
Ekaterina: “I decided to play it safe and bought Tetrix. I couldn’t find this drug in stores in my city, so I had to order it online. The drug was delivered very quickly. I immediately checked the manufacturer - both by the inscription and by the barcode. Since there are many fakes of this product. She protected herself with a protective suit, rubber gloves and a respirator. I had to buy one specifically for this purpose. I immediately noticed a faint smell. Usually such products smell unpleasant. The bugs stopped making themselves felt on the first night. My nightmare is over. These bloodsuckers don't bother me anymore. I still don’t understand where they came from!”
Actions after the procedure for treating the premises with the drug
After disinfection is completed, the room must be ventilated for three hours. Only after this can you enter there without protective equipment.
Take off clothes, wash your hands with soap and wash your face.
To avoid poisoning, you should rinse your mouth with soda solution.
Surfaces touched by residents are wiped with soapy water or soda. Leave everything else as is.
General cleaning should be done after five to seven days. Vacuum upholstered furniture and carpets. Anything that can be washed in hot water and ironed with steam. In winter, it is recommended to take things outside. This will help remove the odor from the drug.
Product effectiveness
Destruction of bedbugs
Manufacturers claim that the drug acts with equal force on adult bedbugs, their larvae and eggs. To be more sure, you need to repeat the procedure after ten to fourteen days. During this time, larvae may appear and survive in the eggs.
Users state that reprocessing is not required. All insects are destroyed at one time. And the smell of the drug lasts about a week.
Efficiency depends on several factors.
- It is necessary to take into account the degree of contamination of the room.
- Prepare the solution correctly.
- Thoroughly sanitize everything in the house.
It should be remembered that no expensive and most effective remedy will get rid of bedbugs if they live happily in your neighborhood . All residents of a multi-storey building must carry out disinfection. In the absence of insects - as a preventive measure
Effect of the drug on human health
Tetrix is a poisonous substance, so you can be poisoned by it. This happens in case of violation of safety rules - spraying without a respirator or mask. And also the use of a low-quality mask.

At the first signs of poisoning, you need to stop working and go out into fresh air. After this, rinse your mouth with a soda solution and drink ten tablets of activated carbon. You need to drink about two glasses of water.
If signs of poisoning do not go away, call a doctor.
Precautionary measures
Before bullying, care must be taken to protect the respiratory tract. It is most convenient to use a respirator or at least a gauze bandage. During processing, all windows in the apartment must be open. Additional ventilation is also necessary after baiting is completed. If the person performing the treatment experiences symptoms such as an unpleasant taste in the mouth, dizziness, or weakness, it is necessary to stop the treatment process, call a doctor and go out into fresh air.

It is important that children and pets are not allowed to use the drug.
Is Tetrix dangerous for people?
This drug always bears the inscription “Danger!” These are signals warning that the poison is dangerous for people and warm-blooded mammals.
Particularly dangerous is the organophosphorus toxic chemical - metaphos. Its toxicity is comparable to the effect of strychnine or hydrocyanic acid. It is also characterized by the ability to be quickly absorbed into the blood.
Poisoning can occur when a small amount of the solution comes into contact with an open area of the body. Even with short treatment without a respirator, the consequences on the body can be very serious. That is why poison of such strength in the hands of an amateur is a very serious weapon against both bedbugs and humans. Be sure to buy a respirator, goggles, gloves, as well as an exterminator suit and start processing. At the end of the chemical attack on bedbugs, personal protective equipment is removed, all that remains is to rinse your mouth and wash with soap.

Customer Reviews
“Today 7 months have passed since using Tetrix. Pah-pah-pah, so as not to jinx it, we didn’t see any more bedbugs. I really hope that we have dealt with them.”
Marina
“Yesterday the long-awaited package arrived, we bought Tetrix online. Almost the entire day was spent on processing, carefully processing mattresses, furniture and clothes. Now I can say for sure that the product is really effective! The bedbugs immediately began to crawl out of the sofa and die before our eyes. We woke up this morning to find a lot of dead insects on the floor and no new bites. I recommend!"
Michael
“I bought Tetrix a few days ago. Before work, I cleaned the room early in the morning. In the evening I saw a bunch of bedbugs lying upside down. I didn’t expect such an effect!”
Sergey
“I processed it twice, the first one thoroughly, the second one a week later, but this time the concentration was half as much. Immediately after the first treatment, I went to the country for a few days and a miracle happened, we forgot all these horrors. I recommend Tetrix, as stated, it does not leave any traces, evaporates quickly, the only negative is the weak smell. The drug is worth the money."
Alexander
conclusions
Despite the high cost, the drug copes with the assigned tasks perfectly, and in the shortest possible time. The main thing is to purchase a quality product, not a counterfeit one. One bottle of 250 milliliters is enough for an area of 120 m², which is quite enough for collective treatment; by cooperating with neighbors you can get rid of bedbugs effectively and much cheaper. A bottle is enough to treat 3-4 apartments, and in this case, the price for disinsection of one apartment will be about 600 rubles.
