This application rate is for processing the following crops:

• Potatoes. To destroy the Colorado potato beetle and moth, the plant is treated with a solution from a spray bottle. The effect of the drug on the insect is observed after 20 minutes.

Igor:

“Intavir is not very effective against Colorado. In addition, it is quickly washed off with water. You can't guess with the weather. You have to process it several times. But against caterpillars, aphids are just right. The tablet takes a very long time to dissolve. I get tired of waiting. I do it differently. I grind it right in the package and then pour it into the water as a powder. There is always this drug on the farm!”

• Apple trees, pears. 10 liters of Intavir solution per 1 tree. Treatment is carried out against codling moths, aphids, larch, flower beetle and other equally dangerous pests of fruit trees.

Maksim:

“I process the trees every year. The drug inspires confidence. Of course, there are a lot of new ones, but I’ve gotten used to it. And why change if it copes with pests? I use it mostly in early spring. When all the pests are just starting to multiply. I am collecting a beautiful harvest for sale. The garden is big!”

Irina:

Until it is necessary to prepare dishes from them, the insecticide will completely dissolve. I've been using it for over 10 years. I don’t use it to treat potatoes – it’s too weak for that!”

• Currants, gooseberries. When processing, 1.5 liters are consumed per bush.
• Garden and indoor flowers. The plant is taken outside or into a well-ventilated area. The drug Intavir fights against aphids, thrips, and mites.

2. First aid measures include gastric lavage by drinking several glasses of water and inducing vomiting.
3. The victim should be washed with soap and rinsed with a low concentration solution of potassium permanganate.
4. To eliminate the effects of intoxication in the body, you can take a laxative and activated carbon (6-8 tablets).

Terms of sale and storage

Pest repellent can be purchased at any flower or garden store. The shelf life of the packaged Intavir drug is up to 4 years from the date of manufacture. The product should be stored following the following rules:

• storage air temperature – no more than 40 degrees.
• an open pack of Intavir or the product in finished form cannot be stored;
• keep the product away from food, medicines, and in a dark place inaccessible to animals and children.

Features of use and storage

To prepare ten liters of working solution you will need only one tablet of the substance. It is recommended to vigorously stir the water until the tablet is completely dissolved.

In this form, the solution will be ready for working with insects. It is best to pour it into a spray bottle and spray thoroughly over the leaves of green crops. It is best to choose morning or evening for spraying, when the sun is less active. It is also worth considering that without wind you can achieve the best results in processing. The main condition for processing is that the foliage and stems of the plants must be very well moistened , remaining in this state for some time.

The next procedure will be possible only after two weeks. It is recommended to use the substance a couple of times per season, replacing it with other insecticides in between, since it can become addictive in insects and stop working.

Red ants, fleas, bed bugs, and cockroaches are easily exterminated with a solution prepared as follows:

• For ants and other specified pests - 1 tablet/0.3−0.6 l of water.
• For other insects - 1 tablet/0.7 l of water.

For indoor plants, the breeding scheme is the same as for garden plants. However, it is worth noting that it is very difficult to use up ten liters of working solution at home. Therefore, the tablet can be divided into parts, and only an eighth of it can be used - 1 g. The resulting liter of solution can be used to treat all the plants in the apartment.

Intavir should be stored out of the reach of children. In this case, the air temperature should be in the range from -100C to +450C. A package of a substance that has been stored for more than four years is considered unsuitable for use.

Analogs

The drug can be addictive in insects, so it should be replaced with other means. Analogs of Intavir are as follows:

• Inta-Ts-M are water-soluble insecticidal tablets based on cypermethrin (affects the pest from the inside) and malathion (has a contact, intestinal, fumigation effect) from which a mother solution is prepared. The drug has a detrimental effect on 40 types of insect pests.

• Alatar - the drug is available in the form of a concentrated emulsion, raspberry color, placed in an ampoule (5 ml volume) or in bottles (25 ml volume). The product provides good protection against garden and vegetable pests.

Insecticide Alatar

• Spark-double effect - tablets (weighing 10 g) with the active ingredients cypermethrin and permethrin. The product not only has a negative effect on the vital activity of garden and garden insect pests, but also helps the plant recover faster from damage.

Iskra is an analogue of Intavir

• Mashenka is an insecticidal chalk, shaped like a small block of gray-brown color. The drug consists of deltamethrin, zeta-cypermethrin, gypsum, chalk. The product is used against domestic pests (bugs, cockroaches, ants).

Mashenka - chalk for pests

You can buy Intavir at any gardening store; the cost of the product depends on the seller’s pricing policy:

Why is Intavir dangerous? When can you pick fruits?

The drug belongs to the “moderately dangerous” category, which means that if you follow the instructions for using Intavir, the substance should be safe. However, unfortunately, cases of poisoning still occur. Most often this happens due to a disregard for the rules of use. To prevent this from happening, you must not only observe all safety measures during crop processing, but also know and apply a number of other necessary conditions:

1. Process fruit and vegetable crops before or after flowering. Cypermethrin contained in Intavir lasts on grass for up to 2 weeks, in light soil - up to 2-3 weeks, and in heavy loamy soils - up to 10 weeks. The fruits can be used for cooking no earlier than 20-30 days after processing. And the treatment itself is carried out no more than 2 times per season.
2. Storage rules. It is necessary to exclude children and pets from accessing the drug. Young children are at particular risk. Since they spend more time on the floor of the house or on the grass, outside, they tend to touch objects more and taste them. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent children from coming into contact with surfaces treated with Intavir. Also, it is strictly forbidden to give processed fruits earlier than a month later.

Advice.
It is better to use Intavir in case of mass appearance of pests. For prevention, it is more advisable to use more gentle, environmentally friendly treatment solutions. Intavir is toxic to fish, so it should not be used near water bodies. And when processing at home, the aquarium is covered with protective glass and the compressor must be turned off. If there is an apiary on the garden plot, then it is necessary to limit the flight of bees for 5-6 days.

When treating indoor plants with Intavir, you need to remove all products and personal belongings located in the room. And if this is not possible, then everything is hermetically packed in plastic bags. There should be no children or pets at home. And after work, general cleaning and ventilation are required.

Intavir is a fairly effective means of protecting plants and crops. You can’t do without it if there are a lot of insect pests. But it is very important to strictly follow the rules of use indicated on the packaging by the manufacturer. Only then can you be sure that the products grown are safe for your own health.

Since ancient times, humanity has used the insecticidal properties of some plants to protect crops from pests. Dried flowers of pyrethrum - Dalmatian chamomile - were also used for this purpose. Modern science has synthesized artificial substances that have the same properties as pyrethrum and created the insecticide Inta-Vir, which has a much stronger effect on pests than dry pyrethrum flowers.
