Instructions for the use of “Zirperthrin” in the fight against insects

Repellent properties

This is a third-generation drug, the chemical composition of which consists of 8 isomers, which differ in their mechanisms of action.
The combination of such components makes it possible to combat both flying and crawling insects. The drug has an insecticidal-acaricidal effect and has a detrimental effect on larvae and adults, affecting the central nervous system. Unfortunately, the drug is powerless against eggs. Cypermethrin is a contact-intestinal insecticide that exhibits its effects instantly. Action of the drug:

• The maximum is when insects die during the first day.
• High – after spraying the product, the effect continues for 4 weeks.

The drug can be used to kill the following insects:

• Bed bugs.
• Cockroaches.
• Bloch.
• Komarov.
• Much.
• Muravyov.

The drug is highly effective in the fight against aphids. These parasites have recently managed to develop immunity to organophosphorus insecticides, and the components of Cypermethrin do not give any chance of survival to both larvae and adults.

Where this drug can be used:

• In private houses and apartments, with the exception of children's rooms.
• In technical premises.
• In catering establishments.
• In sanatoriums and recreation centers, with the exception of rooms for accommodation.
• In the green areas of sanatoriums.
• In open waters.
• On playgrounds, when there is an infestation of fleas, ticks and mosquitoes.

Purpose and application

The drug "Cypermethrin" is used both independently and in mixtures with other active ingredients.

Areas of use:

a) rural and personal household plots to combat insect pests :

• grapes (leaf rollers);
• potatoes (Colorado beetle, potato ladybird);
• cucumbers and tomatoes in protected soil (whiteflies, aphids, thrips);
• cabbage and leafy greens (leaf-eating caterpillars);
• apple trees, pears (codling moth, leaf rollers);
• currants (aphids, moths, leaf rollers, sawflies)

b) protection from pests of agricultural crops and stocks (cereal aphids, thrips, pest bugs, ants, ground beetles, stem flies, flax flea beetles, meadow moths, etc.);

c) medical and veterinary practice (ixodid ticks, etc.);

d) sanitary and household disinsection of premises for the destruction of flightless synanthropic insects (fleas, cockroaches, bed bugs) and for treating fly landing sites.

The effect of the drug applies to both larvae and adult insects.

Release form

This drug can be purchased both in large supermarkets and in ordinary hardware stores or at the market. Everyone will be able to choose the appropriate form in which this substance is sold.

Analogs from other manufacturers

In specialized stores there is a wide range of insecticidal poison against cockroaches. There are products from domestic and foreign manufacturers. The application is similar. Maximum properties last for 2 hours. In most cases, buyers pay attention to the presence of a strong odor and choose products with fragrances.

Effective means:

• Agran. Concentrate with two active components - chlorpyrifos, cypermethrin.
• Digital. The same Cypermethrin, but foreign made, with flavorings.
• Sinuzan. Strong concentrate with a pungent odor. The active substance is chlorpyrifos. Acts similarly to cypermethrin.
• Karbofos. The active substance is malathion. A modern insecticide that is resistant to ultraviolet radiation.
• Cucaracha. It works on the basis of malathion, cypermethrin.

The natural insecticide Permethrin is commercially available, which is obtained from Caucasian chamomile flowers. The active ingredient is pyrethrin. Synthetic pyrethroids were created on its basis. Pyrethrum against cockroaches is absolutely safe for people and animals, but it also acts on insects for only 2 hours.

Cypermethrin 25 will cope perfectly with cockroaches with light to moderate infestation; if there are a lot of insects, it is recommended to choose a more powerful drug - with the addition of another insecticide.

Benefits of Cypermethrin

Recently, many have given preference to substances created on the basis of this product to destroy harmful parasites that have settled in a house or apartment. The high popularity of the funds is associated with several factors, for example:

• Wide spectrum of action: with one preparation you can clean your apartment from many insects.
• Convenient release forms.
• Ease of use.
• Resistance against direct sunlight.
• Does not change properties when exposed to an acidic environment.
• After treatment, it can be easily removed with alkali-based compounds.
• Convenient packaging.
• Acceptable toxicity.
• Reasonable price.

Composition and release forms

Bedbug repellent Cypermethrin 25 is a yellowish liquid with an intense odor. The concentration of the active substance of the same name in it is 25%. The poison reaches pests through direct contact.

The drug is available in different containers: there are liter and half-liter bottles, as well as small 50 ml bottles. It can be stored for five years, but the insecticide must be protected from the sun.

Russian manufacturers produce several drugs based on Cypermethrin:

• Tetrix. The concentrate containing 25% active substance is mainly used by professional service workers. Available in 1 liter and 50 ml bottles, as well as in five liter canisters.
• Cucaracha is a fairly popular chemical with a twenty percent cypermethrin content.
• Clean Home is available on the market in the form of powders and aerosols, which are widely used.
• Insecticide. This is a whole complex for combating parasites, containing two more components: permethrin and piperonyl butoxide.
• Cifox 25 is a liquid in transparent bottles. Designed to kill bedbugs, ants, cockroaches and some other insects.
• Sichlor containing chlorpyrifos and cypermethrin at a dosage of 10%. Widely used by professionals, practically never found in everyday life.

There are other insecticides that are not so well known: Fagot, Cypertrin, Sipaz Super, Medilis Cyper. Before making a choice, it is worth researching information about these chemicals and reading reviews.

Advantages and disadvantages

Cypermethrin is effective, like other compounds of the pyrethroid group. There are other advantages of the drug:

1. Prolonged action. The drug retains its properties for several weeks. However, the longer the product remains on surfaces, the weaker the effect. Gradually, under the influence of alkalis, the insecticide is destroyed.
2. Resistance to solar radiation, air and high temperatures.
3. Versatility. The product Cypermethrin destroys insects of various types.
4. Moderate toxicity. The insecticide represents substances of hazard class III. This poison is more toxic when it acts from the inside (through the digestive system).

The main disadvantage of the drug is the inability to destroy insect eggs. Cypermethrin cleanses the room equally well of adults and larvae. However, after some time, a new generation of pests emerges from the eggs. This means that re-infection of the object cannot be avoided. To destroy cockroach eggs, it is necessary to carry out the treatment again, but after some time.

The working solution prepared on the basis of cypermethrin is characterized by an unpleasant odor. You can get rid of it by ventilating the room. In addition, it is not very convenient to mix the product, since you need to know the exact dosage, and you cannot store the liquid for a long time before use. For this reason, users often choose ready-made products (aerosols, crayons, etc.). The high cost of the drug is also noted.

The effect of cypermethrin on the body of parasites

Bedbug repellents based on cypermethrin have a contact effect. Once in the body of bedbugs, the insecticide blocks the functioning of the central nervous system. As a result, paralysis occurs and harmful insects die. The drug is not transmitted from one parasite to another. Each individual must come into contact with contaminated food or a surface treated with a pesticide. Therefore, it is necessary to properly treat the infected room. Before you start spraying the pesticide, you need to carefully read the instructions.

Cypermethrin does not destroy eggs. Therefore, it is advisable to treat the room again 3 weeks after disinfection. If this is done later, the newly hatched bedbugs will have time to lay new eggs.

Regardless of what form of the drug you choose to treat the room, cypermethrin must be diluted with water. How to do this correctly is indicated in the instructions for the drug. To spray the drug, use special equipment (fog generators, sprinklers) or a paint brush.

Compound

The main component of the product is the insecticide of the same name - cypermethrin in 25% concentration. The drug has a contact effect. This means that the substance can enter the insect’s body not only through food, but also through direct contact. The drug blocks the nerve impulses of bedbugs, which leads to complete paralysis and death of the insect. But despite the fact that cypermethrin is extremely dangerous for insects, it is relatively harmless for humans. This is confirmed by the fact that many drugs based on it are approved for use in children's and medical institutions.

OUR READERS RECOMMEND! In the fight against bedbugs, our readers recommend the Pest-Reject repeller. Electromagnetic and ultrasonic technology is 100% effective against bedbugs, cockroaches and other insects. Absolutely safe, environmentally friendly product for humans and pets. Read more here...

It is better to store the drug in a dark place out of reach of children; the shelf life is five years. The applied product remains effective; when exposed to sunlight and other factors, the product stops working within a month.

Fact! The active ingredient cypermethrin was first synthesized and used as an insecticide back in the 70s. Until now, most products are based on cypermethrin and its isomers.

Mechanism of action on bedbugs

The toxic substance is sprayed or applied to surfaces. This allows you to cover a larger area of ​​the object. The procedure is performed using a spray bottle or brush. Depending on this, the degree of effectiveness of the product is determined. So, if a liquid is sprayed with a spray bottle, a large number of poisonous particles enter the air. They are quite heavy, although small, so they settle quickly.

This allows

distribute the substance evenly over the surface. As a result, the poison penetrates into leaks of any size.

If it is not possible to use a spray gun, use a brush. Then the liquid is applied to difficult areas. The mechanism of action in both cases will be the same. In this case, insecticides end up on surfaces on which insects regularly crawl. To kill bedbugs, it is enough to use a contact agent. In this case, the poison will penetrate into the body of the parasites through the chitinous integument.

Some of the poison enters through the spiracles. This happens if the working solution is sprayed while the parasite is crawling across the surface. Then part of the poison will remain on the insect’s shell, and a smaller amount will penetrate through the spiracles. Another dose enters the body through the legs and abdomen, when the parasite makes night attacks on the victim, each time covering the distance from the shelter to the person’s bed.

What are pyrethroids

Cypermethrin for bedbugs is a group of drugs containing a toxic substance that belongs to this class of pyrethroids. This is the name given to synthetic poisons. They are neurotoxic.

This means that the substance has a negative effect on the nervous system of pests. Visualized formula of cypermethrin

The advantage of a substance of this class is its high speed of action. When the insecticide comes into direct contact with the external integument of the pests, almost instantaneous death occurs. However, to obtain this effect, it is necessary to carefully treat the surfaces, comply with the conditions for spraying the substance, and, if possible, ensure that the poison gets into places where bedbugs accumulate.

Pyrethroids are characterized by enteric contact action. This means that they destroy pests by entering the digestive tract or onto the chitinous shell. The first method is not suitable for combating blood-sucking parasites, since they do not consume any food, but suck the blood of warm-blooded creatures. Due to this, any methods based on bait become ineffective.

However,

Despite this, pyrethroids are still considered effective in the fight against bedbugs, since they influence them through the shell.

How do synthetic pyrethroids work?

The mechanism of operation is based on damage to the nervous system. This is achieved by disrupting the transmission of nerve impulses. The required result is achieved due to such a property of the poison as a negative effect on the sodium channels of nerve cells.

As a result, tissue tone increases and the insect loses the ability to move. Because of this, the bug cannot feed or mate.

Substances of the pyrethroid group do not have a systemic effect. Death occurs due to paralysis, as this disrupts the functioning of internal organs. The lower the dose of the poisonous substance, the longer the parasite will remain viable after contact with the poison.

Can insects adapt to pyrethroids?

This is one of the disadvantages of many substances of this class: with regular and long-term use of the same product, the effectiveness of the insecticide decreases. This feature forces the use of poison with some restrictions.

For example, cypermethrin is used simultaneously with drugs of another class (for example, FOS) or alternated with poisons of other brands. The longer the interval between the use of this insecticide, the better.

However

Cypermethrin itself differs from its analogues, since it does not contribute to the development of resistance.

You can enhance the effect of the poison, for which synergistic substances are used. These include piperonyl butoxide; it inactivates enzymes in the body of bedbugs that destroy pyrethroid class insecticides.

What is the difference between pyrethroids and pyrethrins

The first of these products are made on a synthetic basis. They are produced in the likeness of pyrethrins, which are natural substances that exhibit insecticidal activity. For humans, pyrethroids are more dangerous than their plant counterparts. Pyrethrins are made from natural raw materials, such as Dalmatian chamomile.

Types of the drug

Cypermethrin 25 is available in 0.5-1 liter polyethylene containers. Has a wide spectrum of action. It is used to combat all pests of agricultural crops. In homes it is used against bedbugs, cockroaches, ants, fleas and other bloodsuckers. The effect lasts for 1 month. Belongs to hazard class 3.

Zeta-cypermethrin was registered in Russia in 1984 and was used in agriculture to destroy pests of grain crops. It is a pale yellow liquid with a viscous consistency. Contains the following medications:

• Tarzan; • Fury; • Ram; • Newstar; • Kaput; • Magic drops.

Zeta-cypermethrin will be able to cope with bedbugs within 3-5 days after disinfection. It is not addictive and copes with the entire population of bedbugs, including eggs.

Cypermethrin 10 is called Alpha-Cypermethrin. Available in powder form. Approved for use in residential and industrial premises. Destroys all types of insects that can parasitize the house. The solution is prepared according to the instructions. Stir thoroughly for 5 minutes.

How does cypermethrin act on bedbugs, alpha-cypermethrin? The principle of action does not change - it affects the central and peripheral nervous system of insects. Leads to paralysis and death. Belongs to hazard class 2. Does not cause addiction to insects. Effectiveness was observed within 7-10 days after disinfection.

To enhance the effect of cypermethrin, this substance is supplemented with other insecticides. The combination with chlorpyrifos and permethrin worked well.

Method of action

The drug Cypermethrin belongs to the group of pyrethroids, since the principle of action is based on the effect of certain plants of the genus Pyrethrum on insects. In the old days, people noticed that insects were afraid of certain plants. Thus, geranium flowers on windows began to be used to repel flies, and Dalmatian chamomile was used to repel ticks and mosquitoes. In the 19th century, scientists isolated substances toxic to insects - pyrethrins - from plants of the pyrethrum genus. However, they turned out to be ineffective, as they quickly disintegrated when exposed to sunlight and played the role of a “scarecrow” for insects.

The drug should not be used near gardens, ponds, or other natural sources of water.

In the middle of the last century, scientists created synthetic pyrethroids. This substance not only repels insects, but eliminates them. Pyrethroids are a poison for living beings that destroy their nervous system. A special chemical formula was developed for insects - cypermethrin. It is this that has a detrimental effect on arthropods and a minimal effect on warm-blooded animals.

Toxicity of the drug

Cypermethrin is highly toxic to insects. Dangerous for fish and crayfish. It is considered low-hazard for animals and birds. Toxicity for humans is noted at an average level. This means that when using it, you will need personal protective equipment and a special suit.

The aquarium with fish will have to be covered during disinfection, and pets will have to be taken outside. Although manufacturers claim that there is no effect on cats. The antiparasitic drug will not harm the animal even if ingested.

On a note! The substance is used in many products against fleas and other harmful insects in cats. It is also added to toilet filler.

When processing wool, all insects that were on it die. Cypermethrin is well retained and acts for a long time - about 2 weeks. It is quickly eliminated from the animal's body. Does not linger in the environment. In water it turns into a white emulsion and loses its properties over time.

However, it should be remembered that the substance is poisonous and if a large amount enters the body, it can lead to poisoning and death. You shouldn't neglect your health. You need to follow the instructions.

Operating principle

Cypermethrin acts against cockroaches based on a toxic substance. When it comes into contact with an insect's body, it causes muscle paralysis and death. The maximum effect lasts 2 hours. Due to the sharp suffocating smell, cockroaches get out of the shelter in search of a safe place, but receive a lethal dose of poison. The death of sexually mature and immature individuals occurs instantly.

On a note!

After disinfestation is completed, cypermethrin continues to act for another 2 weeks, but every day the properties weaken. Since baby cockroaches may appear after 10-14 days, the treatment of the room must be repeated. Within a month, with the help of two disinsections, the colony of cockroaches is completely eliminated.

Pros:

• quick results;
• prolonged action;
• optimal price;
• economical consumption;
• ease of use.

Minuses:

• unpleasant odor;
• you need to prepare the solution yourself;
• the purchase of personal protective equipment is required - rubber gloves, a respirator, a suit.

On a note!

Cypermethrin against cockroaches is used for any degree of infestation of the room. If there are few insects, a decrease in the concentration of the active substance is allowed.

Security measures

Treatment with Alphacypermethrin against bedbugs should be carried out wearing protective clothing: a suit, gloves. Hands should be completely covered. It is also necessary to wear glasses and a gauze bandage, since the toxic fumes of Cypermethrin can cause respiratory diseases. Family members and pets must be taken to a safe place. Even plants that are taken out to the balcony or other room need protection.

After bullying, clothes are thoroughly washed or thrown away, the face and hands are washed with soap. Security measures cannot be neglected. This can lead to severe toxic poisoning, symptoms of which include gait disturbance, drooling and even convulsions.

Pros and cons of the product

If you look at how this chemical acts on bedbugs, it can be called quite effective. Cypermethrin has other advantages:

1. The poison actively affects a variety of pests that interfere with a person’s life.
2. Cypermethrin is inexpensive, comes in different forms and is easy to use.
3. The drug is not afraid of an acidic environment and is easily washed off after treatment.
4. It is believed that, unlike many other poisons, Alphacypermethrin does not contribute to the development of blood-sucking resistance to the active component.

Still, this poison cannot be called perfect. The disadvantage is the specific smell, which can be dangerous for allergy sufferers. In addition, one treatment is not enough: after a month you will have to repeat the unpleasant procedure.

Finally, a serious disadvantage is the toxicity of the drug. Although Cypermethrin is not the most dangerous poison, it is advisable that the exterminator has some experience.

Scope of use

Cypermethrin has many positive qualities, so it is used in various fields. In each case, a certain dosage and consumption rate are required. In agriculture, the drug is used to protect vegetables, legumes and cereals. Fruit-bearing bushes and trees are also treated with this product.

The insecticide is aimed at destroying various insect pests :

• aphids;
• moths;
• caterpillars;
• fleas;
• flower beetles;
• leaf roller;
• codling moths;
• drinkers;
• Colorado beetles.

The drug has also proven itself in forestry. It is used for aerial spraying over plantings of deciduous and coniferous trees, which are often affected by gnawing insects.

Treatment is carried out by spraying from a sprayer with adjustable droplet size in the stream

At home, bedbugs, cockroaches or fleas often appear, which can also be gotten rid of with Cypermethrin. The product is suitable for disinsection of city apartments, private houses, industrial buildings, hospitals and hospices.

Working solution

After studying the instructions, Cypermethrin is diluted in water in the required proportions. Although the drug is low-toxic, work with it must be carried out using personal protective equipment.

Cypermethrin for bedbugs is used to prepare a solution with a concentration of 0.05%. 5 ml of emulsion is diluted in 1 liter of water at room temperature. Per square meter of treated area you will need 50-100 ml of solution. The volume of product used depends on the absorbent properties of the surface material. The insecticide is sprayed with a spray bottle or sprayed with a paint brush.

Composition against other pests:

1. For fleas: a 0.1% solution is sprayed on the floor, walls and baseboards.
2. Against mosquitoes: a working emulsion of 0.01% is sprayed onto areas where parasites are concentrated, which usually inhabit garbage cans, outside walls of houses and damp places.
3. From ants: the composition of 0.01% is distributed along “ant” paths and other areas with pests.
4. For cockroaches: a 0.1% solution is used to treat not only the main areas of the house, but also pipes and ventilation shafts.
5. Against ticks: Cypermethrin is diluted to a concentration of 0.05%. Per square meter you will need 50 ml of working emulsion. The room is treated completely, not forgetting about heating appliances, thermal communications and furniture. Repeated treatment is carried out after a week.

Wasps and hornets can settle in planted areas and near garbage cans. Insects are lured with sweet fruits, and then a 0.1% composition is sprayed on them. 100-150 ml of product are used per square meter. After possible rain, the treatment is repeated. This procedure should only be performed by experienced people. Beginners are advised to consult a specialist, since wasps can attack in a swarm.

Rules for disinfestation of premises

Cypermethrin must be used strictly according to the instructions. First, you should take into account the area of ​​​​the territory that will need to be treated and calculate the dosage of the drug. The types of insects and environmental conditions in which the solution will be used play an important role.

The room must be isolated from children and animals. The room is cleared of food, dishes, personal hygiene items, aquariums and terrariums. All windows in the room should be open so that it is well ventilated.

When working with the product, you need to wear protective clothing , a respiratory mask, special glasses and a headdress (scarf or plastic cap). The solution is prepared in the proportions recommended by the manufacturer. It is prohibited to exceed the dosage.

The use of cypermethrin will be successful only if the pest concentration areas are known

It is necessary to treat not only those areas where insects are currently located, but also places in which they can hide. It is recommended to spray other surfaces with the product, as pests may migrate after applying the solution.

After the work is completed, leave the room, leaving it to ventilate for 2-3 hours. Then the room is cleared of dead parasites and wet cleaning is carried out using a soap solution with soda.

You can return things to the room and use it again for its intended purpose after cleaning. Children, pregnant women, the elderly and people prone to allergies are advised to go there every other day.

Application

Before carrying out treatment against parasites, carefully study the instructions for use of Cypermethrin 25%. It indicates the dosage of dilution of the product, its storage conditions, and safety measures.

Doses and processing rates

For each parasite, its own solution concentrations are taken. If you do not take them into account, the treatment will not have a 100% effect.

Table 2. Options for using the drug

To kill bedbugs, bedding should not be treated to prevent contact of the toxic substance with the human body.

When preparing a working product of the required concentration, the type of insect is taken into account. Cypermethrin should be diluted in water at room temperature, observing the following proportions:

• for fleas and mosquitoes – 1 ml of product (for mosquito larvae – 0.4 ml) per 1 liter of water;
• for flies, ants, ticks and bedbugs – 2 ml;
• for cockroaches – 3-4 ml.

Rules to follow when diluting the drug

To achieve the desired effect, when diluting cypermethrin you need to follow 3 rules.

1. Depending on the degree of infection of the room, the concentration of the drug changes. If to prevent the appearance of bedbugs or to treat small infected premises, it is enough to take 3 g of insecticide per 1 liter of water, then when treating premises where the degree of infection is high, we double the concentration.
2. The drug must be diluted immediately before use. The working solution retains its properties for 8 hours. After this time, there is no point in using the drug.
3. The containers that were used to dilute the pesticide should be thrown away. Wear a respirator and rubber gloves when working with insecticide.

Terms of use

The instructions for use against cockroaches are simple - prepare a solution, treat the areas of greatest concentration of insects, and the trajectory of their movement. Disinsection is carried out completely, selectively, depending on the stage of infection and the number of cockroaches. They process baseboards, floors, and furniture from the reverse side.

The solution should be diluted against cockroaches immediately before baiting. It is allowed to use the finished product for 3 days, but then the toxic properties are reduced. Pour the solution into a spray bottle or household spray bottle. Spray the surface at a distance of 20 cm.

The treatment of an apartment or house is carried out with the windows closed, the room is left for 2 hours, then it is ventilated, and wet cleaning is carried out in places where hands will touch. Before disinfestation, you should also clean and move furniture away from the wall. There should be no other people or animals in the room at the time of bullying.

Important!

To consolidate the result and destroy young cockroaches, you need to carry out repeated disinfestation after 10-14 days, or as soon as small cockroaches come into view.

Instructions for use of Cypermethrin against bedbugs

To use it, the product must be diluted with water. How to dilute and in what proportion is indicated in the attached instructions, and also depends on the number of insects in the room. As standard, 25 ml of the substance and 1.5 liters of water are mixed, stirring thoroughly for 5 minutes until completely dissolved. It’s better to take a container that you don’t mind throwing away after use.

Attention!

When preparing the mixture, it should be taken into account that the finished solution can only be stored for 8 hours. Usually 50 ml is enough to treat a large apartment.

Cypermethrin for bedbugs

How to use Cypermethrin: the prepared solution is applied with a paint brush or placed in a spray bottle. Treat all places where bedbugs may accumulate: beds and sofas, baseboards around the entire perimeter of the room, cracks, corners. When spraying, the container must be held at arm's length so that the product does not fall on a person.

Repeated treatment is carried out after 3-4 weeks to destroy the larvae and young bedbugs hatched from eggs.

Destruction of cockroaches and fleas

When exterminating cockroaches, you need to remember that these insects are very mobile. It is useless to spray one infected room; the parasites will move to another room or apartment, and when the effect of the drug ends, they will return to their old place. When a colony appears in a given room, all adjacent rooms must be treated in order to isolate and destroy all individuals. In apartment buildings, it is advisable to carry out simultaneous treatment of all apartments and common areas.

Calculate the required amount of product so that there are no untreated areas left. Keep in mind that for materials that do not absorb liquid, 50 ml of the drug per 1 m2 will be used, and for plaster, wood and other absorbent materials - 100 ml per 1 m2. Floors and all surfaces located at a height of up to 1 m must be treated against fleas. Parasites usually do not climb higher; they have adapted to settle where it is convenient to jump on animals.

The working solution is applied to places where nests or traces of cockroaches are found, as well as along the path of their penetration:

• thresholds and baseboards around the entire perimeter;
• cracks in slopes, walls, ceilings, joints of finishing materials;
• the space behind the pipes, as well as the places where pipelines pass through building structures;
• spaces between walls and furniture or carpets.

The next few days will have to be devoted to clearing the premises of corpses and dying parasites. Sweep them off the floor and check the inside of cabinets and shelves. All found specimens must be burned or washed down the drain. If you collect parasites using a vacuum cleaner, replace the filter immediately after cleaning.

How to properly prepare a room for processing

Before carrying out pest control in an apartment, it must be properly prepared.

To do this you need:

• do wet cleaning;
• remove curtains and bed linen;
• remove all personal belongings, food and hygiene items from the premises;
• Pack clothes and toys in bags and put them in a closet;
• move all furniture away from the walls to the middle of the room;
• remove (or cover) electronics and household appliances;
• raise mattresses;
• It is good to dry blankets and pillows in the sun or freeze them outside in winter.

Spray the drug in door and window openings, near baseboards, behind radiators. All upholstered furniture is carefully processed from all sides.

Spray the backs of cabinets and cabinets, floors, cracks and vents.

Precautionary measures

Although the product is characterized by low toxicity, precautions when working with it are required. The person performing the treatment must protect the face and skin from contact with the substance. To do this, you need to wear rubber gloves, special clothing and a respirator. During the treatment of the apartment against bedbugs and the next 24 hours, it is advisable to move all residents and pets to another apartment. It is also recommended to remove personal belongings and hygiene items from the apartment. Clothes, soft toys, mattresses and bedding must be treated in the hottest possible water. All contact surfaces (especially those that children can touch) must be thoroughly wiped with a soda-soap solution.

How does the drug affect the human body?

Preparations based on Cypermethrin belong to substances of toxicity classes 2 and 3. Class 2 pyrethroids in case of poisoning can cause a number of negative consequences, such as:

• Profuse salivation.
• Dysfunction of the musculoskeletal system.
• Limb spasms are possible.
• Slowing reactions.
• Choreatosis.

Necessarily! During processing, it is necessary to take measures to protect the skin, eyes and respiratory tract from the smallest particles of this substance. Upon completion of the treatment process, wash your hands and face thoroughly with soap and water, and wash protective clothing or throw it away if it is no longer needed. Failure to comply with safety measures can lead to poisoning, and subsequently, to the development of dangerous symptoms.

Impact on humans

The insecticide has a harmful effect only on insects and cold-blooded creatures. But any drug of low toxicity is poisonous for people.

If the room is poorly ventilated during processing, the person in it may become poisoned. At the same time, his coordination of movements is impaired, salivation increases, convulsions, absent-minded attention and slowness are observed. The poisoned person may not react to light.

Children, pregnant and lactating women should not handle this drug. It is not recommended to use the insecticide for people who have skin diseases or hypersensitivity to chemicals.

Cypermethrin in high concentrations can be hazardous to health.
You can protect yourself from side effects only if you take precautions. Protective clothing and accessories should not be neglected. While preparing and spraying the emulsion, do not eat or drink, or smoke. After treating the room with Cypermethrin, clothes should be washed in hot liquid. Hands should be washed with soap and mouth should be rinsed with clean water.

First aid for poisoning

If you plan to clean the premises with Cypermethrin, there should be a first aid kit with the necessary medications nearby. If safety precautions are not followed when working with an insecticide, a person may develop signs of poisoning in the form of weakness, bad taste in the mouth, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain.

If the respiratory tract of the poisoned person is affected, it is necessary to quickly take him out into fresh air, remove his working equipment, and rinse his mouth and nose with a solution of baking soda.

If a person accidentally swallows the solution, he should drink 1-2 glasses of water with activated carbon diluted in it. One glass will require 10-15 tablets.

If the product accidentally gets into your eyes, you should immediately rinse them with running water or a soda solution. Sometimes the mucous membrane of the eye is affected. In this case, a sodium sulfacyl solution is instilled behind the eyelid. When the working solution comes into contact with the skin, wipe the affected areas with a cotton swab and wash with soap and water. After taking the measures, the victim should consult a doctor.
