Forsyth from bedbugs
Today, in living rooms you can find various insects that can cause inconvenience to their owners. Bed bugs in the home are a serious problem that causes a lot of trouble. At the same time, these parasites can be found even in clean rooms, unlike cockroaches. The main food for domestic bugs is human blood, for which they are willing to travel long distances. Therefore, if you find furniture bugs at home, the fight against them should begin immediately. Use the anti-theft agent "Forsyth" with a broad spectrum of action against synanthropic pests, whose testing shows its effectiveness. This relatively inexpensive product has a detrimental effect on adult individuals not only of bedbugs, but also cockroaches, fleas, and there are other drugs in the same series, for example, “Forsyth” anti-louse.
Release form and cost of the drug
The bedbug medicine Forsythe is sold in liquid form in liter canisters or 50 mg bottles. One bottle is enough to treat one room with an area of 25 square meters, so it is recommended to purchase the product in canisters: this is much cheaper, and you don’t have to worry that the product will run out in the middle of treating the room.
The cost of one bottle is 300-350 rubles, a liter canister fluctuates around 1,500 rubles. Now Forsyth can be easily purchased in online stores or hardware stores. Previously, the drug was sold only with written permission obtained from the SES. This measure was due to the fact that the product is quite dangerous not only for bedbugs, but also for humans, and it can only be used in a special protective suit if precautions are taken.
Description of the drug and principle of action
One of the most effective ways to combat insects today is the insecticide in the form of a concentrated suspension of bedbugs, “Forsight”, consumer reviews of which are only positive. It appeared on the market not so long ago.
The active ingredient is 20 percent permethrin. This chemical is not hazardous to humans. According to the manufacturer.
The drug acts only through direct contact with bedbugs, so it is very effective for use in places with large infestations, if you have a lot of domestic parasites and when places where all bedbug colonies accumulate have been identified. The device lands on the insect's shell, penetrates under it, paralyzes the parasite and gradually kills it. The advantage of Foresight is that it creates a protective coating that prevents the reappearance of insects for six months.

It is also recommended for use in public places or in areas where food products are located (canteens, restaurants, kitchens, etc.).
- “ Forsythe” has a long period of influence on parasites (3–4 months after treating the apartment, if it is not removed). When applying the product to hard-to-reach places, you should not remove it immediately during general cleaning. Remaining there further, it will continue its effect, working as a prophylactic agent.
- Foresight is very convenient to use. The product is sold ready-made. It only needs to be diluted to the required concentration.

Preparing the premises
Reviews of the effect of “Foresight” on bedbugs confirm its effectiveness. However, if you want to protect yourself from pests forever, it is very important to follow certain rules when working with them. Below are detailed instructions for pest control.
When bedbugs live in furniture, you should move it away from the walls before starting work. This way you can completely process the furniture from all sides and get access to all inaccessible places. If it is possible to disassemble the furniture, then do it.
When organizing the fight against bedbugs in the kitchen, you should hide and isolate all food and personal hygiene products so that Forsyth does not get on them. It is recommended to study all articles on the fight against bedbugs.
It is necessary to identify all bedbug nests, and if this does not happen, the parasites may continue to reproduce after treatment with an insecticide.
If you use the Forsyth insecticide to treat an apartment, it is best to take children and all family members not taking part in the process to friends or relatives during disinfection so that they do not accidentally drink or inhale the poison.
Preparation of the solution
"Forsyth" is sold in bottles. Before treating premises against insects, the product is diluted in one liter of water, which is better to be warmed up a little beforehand. To treat the average space, about 3 liters of prepared solution is required.
When bed bugs appear in your home, you need to treat not only your bed and furniture, but also baseboards and crevices where the insects can get in. The floor, walls and ceiling must also be cleaned. All surfaces must be thoroughly washed, since pests will only die if they come into personal contact with the chemical.
Surface treatment
You must take precautions and clean and prepare the apartment. Do a classic spring cleaning. It is enough to ensure that all surfaces are clean and free of small objects.
- Clean the entire apartment thoroughly. Use a rag to wipe down countertops and any other surfaces, floors, and interior and exterior cabinet doors. All cleanup should be done before the bed bug treatment process begins.
- Move all furniture away from the walls.
- Remove curtains, carpets, pictures and posters.
- Wash and clean all cabinets.

After 12 hours, wash the floor again and wipe down all the furniture. This is especially true when there are small children or pets in the house.
In hard-to-reach places, on baseboards and back walls of furniture, it is better not to wash the insecticide in order to extend the period of protection and prevent the recurrence of insect reproduction.
After a week, disinfection should be repeated using Foresight.
By following these simple tips and tricks, you can forget about the nasty bugs that live in your home forever.
