Insecticide Delta Zone: scope and instructions for use

Compound

The main components of the drug "Delta Zone" include deltamethrin. The mechanism of its action is based on the possibility of penetration through the chitinous cover into the insect’s body. Due to the intestinal contact action, the insecticide causes paralysis of the insect. The drug is classified as a slightly toxic substance of the third class.

The Delta Zone contains microcapsules of deltamethrin, which are suspended in the form of a colloidal solution of small droplets. It is in this form that the drug is effective, since bedbugs have droplets of poison on their legs, which they bring to their nest and infect other insects.

“Delta Zone” is successfully used to disinfect premises, since poison can only reach bedbugs through the cover, because their main source of nutrition is blood. It does not harm humans. Even if the bedbug remedy is ingested, deltamethrin is quickly destroyed and excreted from the body.

The active substance of the drug Delta Zone and the mechanism of its action on insects

The active ingredient in Delta Zone is the very powerful insecticide deltamethrin. This substance has a contact and intestinal poisoning effect, as a result of which it can effectively destroy both blood-sucking insects (bugs, fleas) and those that do not feed on blood (cockroaches, ants, carpet beetles, etc.)

Insecticide deltamethrin, chemical structure

The contact mechanism of action of deltamethrin is based on its ability to quickly penetrate the chitinous integument of the insect. Therefore, to successfully poison, for example, a cockroach or a bedbug, it is not at all necessary to force the insect to eat the drug - it is enough that the drug gets on its paws or on the surface of the body. After this, the insecticide penetrates the internal tissues of the insect and leads to its poisoning.

The contact poisoning effect of the Delta Zone drug is especially important in the fight against bedbugs, which eat nothing but human blood, and it is simply impossible to force them to eat poisoned bait.

The photo shows a bedbug sucking blood.

Having penetrated the internal tissues of the victim, deltamethrin disrupts the functioning of the nervous system, resulting in rapid paralysis and subsequent death of the insect. At the same time, the substance is not dangerous for warm-blooded organisms (including humans), since it is quickly destroyed by the corresponding enzymes.

Thus, to effectively kill bedbugs and cockroaches, it is necessary to ensure that the insecticide reaches the surface of the insect’s body. It was to solve this problem when developing the Delta Zone drug that the principle of microencapsulation of the active substance was used - deltamethrin is in a colloidal solution in the form of microscopic capsules, which, after surface treatment and evaporation of water, remain here in the form of a thin layer.

It is impossible to notice the active substance on the treated materials with the naked eye, but insects, running over such a surface, “get dirty” in microcapsules that stick to the legs and body of the future victim.

The photos below clearly demonstrate this effect of microcapsules sticking to insects:

On a note

In the instructions for use and in some catalogs, the name of the drug is indicated as “Delta Zone m.k.” The last abbreviation just means microencapsulant.

In the case of cockroaches and ants, the Delta Zone has a double effect (in addition to the contact poisoning effect, it also has an intestinal effect): these insects constantly clean their legs and antennae with their jaws, and the drug additionally enters their digestive tract. Bedbugs do not do this, however, as practice shows, their flat, wide body collects much more insecticide than the legs of cockroaches, so bedbug poisoning also occurs quite quickly, which is confirmed by numerous reviews.

The photograph clearly shows that the body of a hungry bug is very flat.

On a note

As mentioned above, one 50 ml bottle of Delta Zone after dilution is enough to treat approximately 100 square meters. However, it is important to understand here that the surface of 100 m² does not mean the area of ​​the apartment, but the total area of ​​all processed surfaces, which includes the walls of bedside tables, the surfaces of sofas, the interior spaces of cabinets, etc. In general, for an ordinary two-room apartment you should usually buy two bottles of Delta Zone at once. In this case, it is useful to take into account the individual characteristics of the case: if cockroaches are present only in the kitchen or, for example, bedbugs are only present in the bedroom, then sometimes a smaller amount of the drug will be enough.

And also: We caught bedbugs and tested the effect of GEKTOR powder on them - it turned out to be quite a lethal thing...

Operating principle

Deltamethrin “works” as follows:

  • its droplets fall on the surface of the bug and stick to its body;
  • since the parasite has a flattened shape, it can collect a significant amount of microcapsules on the chitinous cover;
  • through the surface the drug affects the nervous system, causing paralysis;
  • the poisonous substance “works” gradually and the death of the insect occurs on the second day.

This mechanism of parasite poisoning is quite complex and effective. When microcapsules get on the surface of a bug, the walls of the chitinous cover are gradually destroyed. Only after this can deltamethrin penetrate inside, that is, the toxic effect occurs gradually.

Note: It is advisable for residents to return to the apartment immediately after treating and washing contact surfaces. During night sleep, the remaining individuals will approach the “victims” and receive additional batches of the remaining poison.

How to properly poison bedbugs with “Delta Zone”

Spray the product in a thin layer on all surfaces. To treat fabrics and upholstered furniture, you need to use a little more (spray twice on curtains, sofa cushions, mattresses and carpets, top and bottom).

Let us tell you how professional disinfectors treat a room:

  • We move all the furniture away from the walls, this will make it easier to spray the baseboards and carpets; it is also important to apply a layer of poison to the back wall of the furniture.

  • The bed or sofa will have to be disassembled so that it is possible to apply the liquid to not all parts of the frame; we pay special attention to the grooves and cracks.
  • Be sure to remove the books from the shelves and spray both the books and the shelves with the product.
  • Carpets on the floor from the inside out, as well as curtains, also need to be disinfected.
  • Pay attention to warm places behind radiators and heating pipes; bedbugs also like to nest in air conditioners that operate for heating.

Many people believe that parasites are afraid of electricians, but they feel great in sockets, chandelier shades and sconces.

  • You also need to pay attention to pillows, especially at the seams, blankets and closets with clothes, especially underwear.
  • We generously moisten window frames and door frames, where bedbugs also like to hide.
  • Parasites often nest in soft toys. They also need to be processed and taken out to the balcony. After three days, wash in a washing machine with a double rinse cycle.

Bed bugs in soft toys

Bedbugs love to settle in soft toys and lay eggs there, so treating furry animals is a necessary step in treating an apartment

After treatment, all surfaces must be damp. After applying the poison, it is necessary to ventilate the room for at least an hour so that the smallest drops of the sprayed toxic substance settle.

The insecticide is absolutely safe for humans and pets, so the room can be used within an hour after sanitization.

"Delta Zone" is a professional insecticide of a new generation that successfully destroys bedbugs in one application and is effective for a month. You can buy the drug on the manufacturer’s website or in an online store.

Price

Many people are afraid of the price of the drug and the difficulty of purchasing it through online stores. To treat a one-room apartment that is slightly infested with bedbugs, a 50 ml bottle at a price of 650-750 rubles is enough. If the degree of infestation is fourth (“overpopulation” of bedbugs), then one bottle is not enough; at least two are needed. It is easy to make calculations for larger apartments.

Remedy for bedbugs "Delta Zone"
Remedy for bedbugs "Delta Zone"

"Delta Zone" is produced in South Korea by the Korean company Kukbo Science Co., LTD.

Since the drug is imported, and its effect is very specific, the price is somewhat steep. But compared to bedbug bites, it is better to overpay than to underpay by dousing your apartment with kerosene or Dichlorvos.

How to determine that “Delta Zone” for bedbugs is not a fake? You need to look at the shape of the bottle from real manufacturers, but this does not guarantee that the online store will not send a similar product or a cheaper counterfeit option.

Buying the drug is not so easy. Online stores accept orders. If the buyer is located in the central cities of the country, the delivery time will be up to 2 days. It is more difficult to purchase the product for the inhabitants of the “outback”, where it will arrive after 2 weeks (at best). But if there are a lot of bedbugs in the apartment, then such a long wait is like death.

Note: The price of the drug Delta is closer to that of medications: tablets or other dosage forms.

The life of a bedbug and how to destroy it

No one is safe from bedbug infestation. Insects can be brought into an apartment on clothes from the street, they crawl through cracks in doors and windows and through ventilation grilles, they can be brought by guests, or you can buy furniture or a book that is already infested with bedbugs.

Detecting a bedbug right away is almost impossible. The insect hides securely in the crevices of baseboards, books or in the joints of the bed. The bug reproduces quickly and within a month more than a hundred individuals are found in the apartment.

Thorough inspection of furniture for bedbugs

The parasite feeds once every three days, so single bites do not cause suspicion; only when the colony of insects increases does one understand that it is time to carry out sanitary treatment.

To destroy parasites, it is important to know their main habitats:

  • The bug needs to feed regularly, so you should look for its lair close to the bed. Often the colony multiplies from the bottom of the bed or sofa, hiding in the cracks and grooves of the furniture. Parasites go out hunting at night, usually between two and five o’clock, since “access to the body” can be obtained unhindered at this time.

Bed bugs in beds and pillows

Bedbug nesting sites are always located closer to food, that is, to you

  • It is necessary to apply the anti-bedbug product to the carpets on the wall and near the bed, as well as to the baseboards around the entire perimeter of the room.
  • Parasites like to hide in the folds of clothing that comes into contact with the body; they are attracted by the smell of blood.
  • Be sure to treat the books and curtains in the room, as well as the backs of pictures, posters and window frames.
  • Parasites also like to nest behind radiators, where it is always warm and dark.

Important. It is a mistaken belief that bedbugs die in the cold. Frost down to -20 degrees is not scary for these blood-sucking creatures. The bug dies only at -25 below zero. It is unrealistic to cool a room in an apartment to such a temperature.

This parasite can quietly remain in suspended animation for up to a year. Therefore, do not expect that if you leave the apartment for a while, the parasites will die of starvation. Professional disinfection is necessary, preferably with several drugs at the same time, since these parasites adapt to poisons.

Professional disinfestation of the apartment

Advantages and disadvantages

Each product that is used as an insecticide has both positive and negative sides.

The benefits of the Delta Zone include:

  • low consumption;
  • no odor;
  • slight toxicity to warm-blooded animals;
  • prolonged exposure;
  • high efficiency.

Important positive aspects include the absence of stains or stains on furniture and walls, which preserves the appearance of the room unchanged and reduces the cost of subsequent cosmetic repairs.

The substance is preserved during wet cleaning because it has a prolonged effect and is effective for several months. If bedbug eggs are preserved in the apartment, then after a while larvae emerge from them and die as a result of the action of the insecticide.

Since all surfaces are treated with “Delta Zone”, a barrier effect appears. When a bug “looks at the light” from a neighboring apartment, it quickly dies, crawling along the poisonous surface remaining in the apartment.

The drug has a number of disadvantages:

  • has almost no effect on bedbug eggs, since they are covered with a dense shell;
  • its cost is quite high;
  • The room has to be prepared in advance for processing and cleaned after it.

But there are not many negative aspects, given the effectiveness of the impact. Most often, one treatment of the room is enough to remove parasites. Even with a thorough infestation of an apartment, “Delta Zone” showed itself at its best: it is capable of influencing mass accumulations of insects when other drugs are powerless.

Advice: If there are cats in the apartment, “Delta Zone” can cause cat poisoning, since these animals are sensitive to pyrethroids. Therefore, pets should be temporarily relocated to neighbors.

Safe for everyone!

Classified as low-hazard, “Delta Zone” can cause no more harm than ordinary table salt. The drug does not have a suffocating odor, so you can stay in the room within half an hour after using the drug and ventilating it. In addition, the product does not leave burns or irritation when exposed to the skin. "Delta Zone" is absolutely harmless to pets and indoor plants.

The product penetrates not only through the chitinous coverings of pests, but also gets inside with their food, which leaves them no chance of salvation.

Instructions for use

"Delta Zone" refers to the latest generation of drugs with a good effect and odorless. The combination of these properties is important for apartment owners, for whom processing is a whole nervous shock. The product does not affect the health of home inhabitants and destroys bedbugs after a single exposure.

The insecticide is sold in 50 ml bottles. One bottle is enough to treat a one-room apartment. To prepare a working solution, the product must be diluted in a ratio of 50 ml per 5 liters of water. The water should be at room temperature. Mix the composition thoroughly, after which its color turns white. Use immediately after preparation (cannot be stored).

The solution is poured into a regular large-volume spray bottle. The consumption of the substance is calculated from whether the liquid is absorbed by the surface being treated. On average per 1 sq.m. it is necessary to use 50-100 ml of solution.

The Delta Zone manual and instructions recommend the following activities:

  1. Create conditions for penetration into places where bedbugs accumulate (nests), as well as into any “shelters” where insects wait for nightfall: cracks, baseboards, back walls of furniture, nooks in sofas and other places.
  2. Pack food, dishes, and children's toys so that they are not processed.
  3. Residents of the apartment along with their pets must leave the premises for several days and return to it only after cleaning. To prevent the death of fish, cover the aquarium with glass.
  4. Treat all surfaces with a spray bottle, when a fine spray occurs and the solution in the form of a liquid reaches the most remote places where insects can hide. For 1 sq.m. 50 ml of the drug is consumed on a non-absorbent surface, 100 ml is consumed on an absorbent surface.
  5. Leave the apartment for 3 hours. During this time, the insecticide will dry and remain on surfaces. After this time, the owner (hostess) of the apartment should wash the contact surfaces with soap and soda solution, and leave those items that are rarely touched in their original condition for a week. When the family returns, the apartment should be ventilated by creating a draft.

Important: During processing, special protective agents are used, but if the solution gets on the skin, it must be removed with a napkin, and then the affected area is washed with soda and soap.

If your neighbors have an abundance of blood-sucking insects, then they will enter the treated room and die within a month (if the drug does not persist on some surfaces for this time). Their migration will stop for a certain period, but when the Delta Zone ends, it will resume again. The issue of eliminating parasites must be resolved jointly with the residents of other apartments, otherwise the problem will remain unresolved.

Tip: Take your time to clean the apartment and thoroughly wipe all surfaces. Especially those with whom the apartment residents do not come into contact. Preserved microcapsules extend the life of the drug and guarantee getting rid of bedbugs in one go.

Correct use of the “Delta Zone” - advice from professionals

Before treatment, it is better to remove animals, children and aquariums from the room. You also need to protect yourself from the insecticide getting into your respiratory tract - you need a mask or respirator, a robe, which you then need to wash, and rubber gloves.

The instructions for use of the drug recommend diluting the suspension with water at the rate of 10 ml of poison per liter of water. But experts advise increasing the concentration to 20 ml per liter, especially if the apartment is heavily infested with bedbugs.

To save costs, you can treat all areas near the bed with a solution of higher concentration, and disinfect the rest of the area with a one percent solution.

Prepare a spray bottle for the solution

The solution must be sprayed using a sprayer; a sprayer for indoor flowers is suitable, but then, after use, it must be thoroughly washed under running water. There is no need to skimp on a sprayer; using empty old detergent dispensers is ineffective.

Safety

The Delta Zone product is considered dangerous only for bedbugs and safe for warm-blooded creatures. Thus, in terms of volatility, it belongs to the fourth class of low-hazard compounds. Based on the degree of impact on the body when it enters the digestive organs, the drug is considered moderately dangerous (third class), and when it comes into contact with the skin, it is considered low-hazardous (fourth class). But still, with constant inhalation or if large doses of the composition enter the stomach, intoxication is possible. Contact with mucous membranes may cause severe irritation.

If the handler experiences symptoms such as dizziness, tachycardia, vomiting, diarrhea or nausea, you should consult a doctor.

Composition of the drug

The main active ingredient of Delta Zone is deltamethrin. It is a contact-intestinal insecticide that causes nervous paralysis in insects. It is practically safe for humans. If it gets ingested with food or air, it is quickly destroyed and then excreted from the body.

In the production of the drug, microencapsulation of the insecticide was used. This means that deltamethrin is present in the drug in the form of a suspension of tiny particles. This form favors a better effect of the drug on insects. Bedbugs, having come into contact with the surface treated with the product, cling to their paws whole bunches of poison and thus drag them into their nests, infecting all insects with which they will subsequently have contact.

Interesting fact! Enteric contact poisons are most often used in disinfection. The big advantage of such products is their double action, which involves poisoning not only through the digestive system, but also directly through the external integument of insects.

Mode of application

The delta zone helps against bedbugs, cockroaches, ants and other insects. Depending on their type, the dosage of the drug is calculated. According to the instructions, the following consumption is assumed:

  1. To treat a room against bedbugs, ants, fleas, one bottle is diluted in 20 liters of water.
  2. Against flies and cockroaches, the amount of the drug is doubled.
  3. For moths and mosquitoes, prepare a weak solution at the rate of 10 ml of the drug per 10 liters of water.

Next, the prepared solution is poured into a spray bottle and the room is treated. Before disinfestation, the following actions must be taken:

  • move furniture away from the walls;
  • remove dishes, food, personal belongings;
  • Cover household appliances and aquariums with plastic wrap, and remove pets and residents from the premises.

It is also necessary to take personal protection measures - wear gloves, cover your face with a gauze bandage, and cover your eyes with goggles. You should also cover all exposed surfaces of the body with clothing and try to avoid touching your face, lips, and eyes with your hands.

When processing, you need to pay special attention to the favorite habitats of bedbugs:

  • frames of windows, doors;
  • baseboards;
  • bedside tables;
  • back wall of furniture;
  • mattresses, sofas, beds;
  • paintings;
  • book binding.

When treating against bedbugs, 50 ml of solution per area of ​​1 m2 is sufficient. On carpets and fabric surfaces, the product consumption is doubled. According to the instructions, one bottle is enough to treat 100 m2.

After 2 hours, the apartment is ventilated and a superficial wet cleaning is carried out, wiping only those places that can come into contact.

Advice! It is advisable to take your time with wet cleaning of the apartment and leave the product as long as possible on surfaces that do not come into contact. Thus, the microcapsules will stay in the room longer and the duration of the drug will increase.

Delta Zone for pest control

Reviews from customers about Delta Zone against bedbugs confirm the effectiveness of the drug.

They couldn't get rid of bedbugs for almost a year. We changed medications one after another, tried all the folk remedies. I was researching information on the Internet and came across the Delta Zone. No shopping, I checked. I ordered on the website. A bottle with a capacity of 50 ml arrived. There is a specific smell, but weak. The entire bottle should be diluted in 10 liters of water. I needed half. I also re-processed it. This bottle is enough for 2 times of complete disinfestation. The parasites have disappeared and have not appeared for six months.

Ekaterina, Moscow

A good remedy. It helped us the first time. There is no unpleasant smell and does not spoil the furniture. There were no negative consequences for well-being. I treated the room once, but left it closed for a week. Then I scooped out the parasites with a broom. Within a month the apartment was clean without much effort. No worse than pest control for bedbugs, which is carried out by specialists. It's a little expensive, but it works well.

Anton, Perm

Last year I encountered bedbugs in my apartment. At first I tried to overcome them with aerosols. But the bites appeared with characteristic frequency. I decided to try a new product that is being actively pushed through the Internet. I carried out the treatment according to all the rules, I even bought a special respirator. Everything went fine. There is no unpleasant smell. I slept in the apartment the very next day after airing and cleaning. There was no need to re-process. An effective remedy that helped me get rid of bedbugs.

Alina, Voronezh

Bed bugs can adapt to poisons, making them almost impossible to eradicate. Deltamethrin kills and does not allow adaptation.

Active ingredient and composition of Delta zone

Release form: concentrate for dilution in water. The active ingredient is deltamethrin. It penetrates the chitinous membrane of insects and affects vital functions. It is characterized by a contact action, i.e. the parasite does not have to swallow it, it is enough just to come into contact with it. Once in the body, deltamethrin disrupts the functioning of the pest’s central nervous system, which entails its paralysis and death.

Delta Zone against bedbugs, cockroaches and other insects shows a positive result after the first use, which lasts for a long period.

Preparing the premises

Although Delta Zone is considered non-toxic and can be used to treat residential premises and even children's rooms, preparation is required. It includes several measures. The first is to clear the room of dishes and food. The second is providing access to all hard-to-reach places. To do this, move and arrange all the furniture. The third measure is to ensure the protection of animals and people. All residents must leave the room during treatment. And the handler must wear gloves, safety glasses and a respirator.
