Thiuram - “old” and “new”: is it worth it and how to use it against cockroaches and other insects


Cockroaches have a high level of vitality, which allows them to survive even after the use of chemicals. Therefore, sometimes people use highly toxic poisons to combat annoying insects.

These insecticidal powders help get rid of cockroaches even when they multiply en masse. One of them is Tiuram. But in order for disinfection with this product to be safe for the health of humans and pets, it must be carried out strictly in accordance with the instructions.

  • Description of the product

    It is a professional product that is used by specialized services for disinfestation of premises for various purposes. It has earned popularity due to its high efficiency. It is capable of dealing with large colonies in the shortest possible time and shows good results when treating heavily contaminated premises.

    Regarding the mechanism of action, it is comparable to other insecticides, but the difference and advantage is that tuarim has a very rapid effect and there is no need to wait for the result.

    Thiuram for cockroaches

    The active substances affect the nervous system, first providing a nerve paralytic effect, and then the death of the cockroach occurs. Immediately after the insect comes into contact with the substance, the components begin their action. In addition, when the insect comes into contact with the substance, it carries it on itself, infecting other individuals. This leads to the fact that several individuals can infect a large number of Prussians.

    Sanitation and “analogues”

    Thiuram is more or less systematically used against cockroaches and other difficult-to-eradicate synatropic insects as part of professional pest control of premises; Not very effective against ticks. But the name of this substance has long become a household name for “killer” household pesticides, just like dichlorvos. The latter is registered in the Russian Federation as a trademark of household insecticidal preparations on a different chemical basis (most often pyrethroids and FOS). However, dichlorvos itself (O,O-dimethyl-O-2,2-dichlorovinylphosphate, DDVP) from the chemical class of organophosphorus compounds (OPS) is not a toxin-devil and, if the regulations for its use are observed, is not so dangerous. The users themselves forced it to be withdrawn from the circulation of pesticides: as a result of massive immoderate use, genetically (i.e. hereditarily) populations of pests resistant to dichlorvos were formed everywhere. Thiuram does not cause resistance, which is not surprising given its nature of action (see below), but due to the same nature of action, the name “thiuram” is unlikely to ever be legalized even verbally.

    “Genuine” TMTD is currently produced on an industrial scale and is actively exported only to China (left in the figure below). The Indian one has not been seen or heard for quite a long time, and the others (including the Russian one) are made for pre-order and do not go on retail sale; at least they shouldn't. It is impossible to find out what the share of the Chinese original is in the commercial “thiuram” insecticides (in the center in the figure). The names on the packages are clearly misleading: Germany, Belgium - what about Europe, ecology; “Cable” - well, yes, it’s the same one, the real one.

    Chinese TMTD and commercial thiuram drugs of dubious origin

    Note on “Euroecology” : scene in the summer of 2018 in Bavaria. A loaded timber truck is rushing along the autobahn, and behind it a tail of thick, black, stinking diesel exhaust stretches for a good 100-120 meters. And on the front bumper next to the number there is a “Euro 4” compliance sticker; Euro 5 had not yet been introduced everywhere.

    Counterfeiters, apparently not yet rid of the remnants of their conscience, modestly write in small print on the packaging: well, actually these are pyrethroids (or FOS, or something else), and “Cable Tiuram” is in a prominent place (on the right in the figure). this is so... well, you understand... And, of course, there are no warnings that, indeed, effective pyrethroids quickly cause resistance in pests. Incl. cross-resistance, when targets of elimination become resistant to all active substances of a given chemical class. But in all of these cases, the exact details of the manufacturer/distributor are either missing or turn out to be irrelevant. There are also no state registration numbers and links to certificates about it. The latter, however, is understandable - liability for unlawful references to these documents is already criminal.

    Where can I get it?

    However, it has not yet been possible to completely eliminate thiuram from circulation: nothing else takes genetically resistant pests and synanthropes, but they reproduce very well. So, just in case, here are the coordinates where tiuram, which is TMTD, is still sold:

    1. www.tiuram.com – sell Chinese, incl. with mailing (more than 100 points of receipt). Packaging from 50 g to 1 kg. Price (excluding delivery costs) 50 g bag 300 rubles, kilogram bag 2400 rubles, intermediate packages within these limits;
    2. dezoff.ru > All about cockroaches and methods of extermination - “disaster service for Moscow and the Russian Federation”;
    3. www.avito.ru > Dishes and kitchen goods - well, Avito is Avito. The goods are Chinese, prices are floating.
    4. www.moscow-free-pests.rf – professional exterminators. In Moscow and the Moscow region they work on their own, but they can sell to remote buyers with delivery by courier service (Rosposhta does not accept parcels/parcels with toxic and/or hazardous substances);
    5. festima.ru/docs/49499515/moscow/tiuram-ot-tarakanov – online ad monitoring service, incl. and about pesticides. They don’t sell it themselves, but after rummaging around there, you can find a seller in your region.

    Composition of the product "Tiuram"

    Tuarim contains 2 active components and additional ones:

    • Phytopronil. It is considered the main active ingredient. It has been used for quite a long time and has proven its effectiveness in practice. It is highly toxic, due to which it has a detrimental effect on cockroaches.
    • Pinerub oxide. Serves as an auxiliary component. In addition to increasing effectiveness, since it is also toxic, it provides prolonged action.
    • Additional components are designed to attract insects. The additives have a smell that attracts Prussians to the pesticide. In addition, they are designed so that cockroaches can carry the insecticide on themselves, thereby infecting other pests.

    Composition, release form

    Thiuram powder for cockroaches is available in the form of white or gray powder or granules. Powder is used to kill insects. Produced by a domestic company, sold in bags of different packaging - from 3 g. A bag weighing 15 g is enough to treat one infected room. The shelf life is 3 years from the date of manufacture.

    The active component is pinerobutoxide. A toxic substance with a rapid neuroparalytic effect. Attracts cockroaches with scents. Thanks to additives with a special smell, cockroaches crawl towards the poison much faster, get dirty, and die.

    Mechanism of action

    The composition of the drug is designed in such a way that the insecticide attracts pests. Since cockroaches have a highly developed sense of smell, when they smell the “aroma” they immediately run for food. When they come into contact with a pesticide, action occurs immediately. The first is a direct destructive effect on the individual, the second is that the individual becomes a carrier of the poison. The pesticide disables the protective enzymes of the insect, acting on the nervous system causing paralysis and death. Since pests live in colonies, having soiled themselves in thiuram, they run to the nest, and there pass on the “delicacy” to their relatives.

    Methods of use

    Thiuram for cockroaches

    Using insect repellents

    • Powder in its pure form. Sprinkle paths with the product near the trash can, along baseboards, behind furniture, under bathtubs, sinks, and toilets. In places where cockroaches like to be.
    • Solutions. Compensates for the lack of loose dust. The powder cannot be applied to a horizontal surface or bridges. Dissolve in water at room temperature and pour into a spray bottle. You can treat the back side of the furniture with the product, pour it into the cracks, spray pipes and sewers.
    • Poisonous treats. To bait insects, contact with the poison is sufficient. The cockroaches begin to clean the soiled body, in the process the poison enters the intestines and begins to act. To speed up destruction, powders are added to foods with a strong aroma - boiled eggs, potatoes, cookies with milk, beer. Form small balls or pour treats into saucers.
    • Houses. The powder has one drawback - it stains the surface and gives the rooms a sloppy appearance. To smooth out this inconvenience, the dust is scattered not on the floor, but in a cardboard box or matchbox. Pests love such devices.

    Regardless of the method of application, the powder does not lose its properties and remains active on the surface for several months.

    How to use the product correctly

    Before purchasing the drug, you should understand that it is a strong toxic substance. Work with it must be carried out strictly according to the instructions in compliance with safety measures and only when using protective equipment.

    Since the product is sold in powder form, a solution is most often prepared before processing, but it can also be used in its pure form. You will also need to properly prepare the room and carry out post-treatment procedures.

    Preparation of the solution

    If you decide to prepare a solution, you will need fresh egg yolks. Why they use yolks, the answer is quite simple; it is this delicacy that is considered the most attractive in combination with poison for a cockroach. Already at this stage it is necessary to use protective equipment, wear gloves and a respirator. You need to take a container, which you can then throw away, place the yolks and powder in it, then mix everything until smooth. The consistency should resemble thick porridge so that it can be molded into balls. Small balls are molded and placed around the apartment. This solution produces quite a lot, so it will be enough not only for balls, but also for the mixture. To do this, add water to the solution and treat the surfaces with the resulting mixture.

    When using powder, the processing principle is the same; it is necessary to apply it to surfaces where cockroaches most likely live.

    Preparing the premises

    An obligatory step is the preparation of the premises. This will allow you to use the substance as efficiently as possible, which will ensure good results. In addition, proper preparation will minimize the toxic effects of the drug and prevent dangerous consequences. To do this you need:

    • Food products are hidden in the refrigerator, packaged in airtight containers or bags.
    • All dishes and kitchen equipment are removed.
    • It is also necessary to pack personal hygiene products and towels.
    • All furniture is moved away from the walls so that there is access to the back walls of cabinets and baseboards.
    • Next, you need to sweep the apartment, remove all dust and do wet cleaning, don’t forget about hard-to-reach places.

    Different products under one name

    It is almost impossible to find pure tetramethylthiuram disulfide on the market, since its toxic effect on all living things is tens of times greater than any benefit. There are many drugs with the same or similar names.

    Thiuram, an effective powder against cockroaches, proven for decades

    All are multi-component powders with different compositions, designed to combat cockroaches, ants, moths and others.

    Most often on the insecticide market there are 3 powders of different composition called Thiuram. They differ in manufacturer, composition, and the degree of harmful effects on humans. What these products have in common is that they are used to kill pests.

    Important! Do not use in high humidity - the compound will lose its strength and the drug will turn into a paste.

    Instructions for use of Thiuram

    Manufacturers offer several methods for using dry insect repellents: scatter the powder, dilute it with water and spray or lubricate surfaces with the solution, make baits with goodies (egg yolk, powdered sugar or fried liver).

    Healthy! Before treating any premises, flowers and pets should be removed.

    The most used way to apply cable powder:

    1. Protect indoor plants and pets (cover aquariums, birds, plants, animals, take them out into the fresh air or into another room).
    2. Prepare housing (remove all food products, garbage, remaining moisture, cover the surfaces of tables and furniture, roll up carpets).
    3. Following all safety rules, sprinkle the product in a certain sequence in the form of powder or slurry. The processing line should be thin solid or finely dotted.
    4. Leave the room closed for the period specified by the manufacturer (from a couple of hours to several days).
    5. Ventilate the home, remove the poison from visible places, leave it in inaccessible places if the product is harmless (follow the instructions on the package).
    6. Repeat the treatment after 2-4 weeks to destroy the young individuals.

    Depending on the composition, more stringent safety measures may be required.

    Important! It is recommended to sprinkle all areas where cockroaches are located (baseboards, cracks, under furniture or appliances). But be sure to treat door, window and ventilation openings.

    Treatment

    The procedure begins with all residents leaving the premises, except for the one who will directly carry out the treatment. Also, there should be no pets in the premises; dogs, cats, parrots, fish, turtles and other animals are prohibited in the premises. Next, you need to wear protective overalls or pants and a jacket that completely cover your body. Be sure to use gloves, safety glasses and a respirator. All windows and doors must be closed during the procedure.

    Treatment for cockroaches

    Attention is paid to the following areas:

    • Rear walls of furniture;
    • Skirting boards;
    • Space behind radiators;
    • Under the windowsill;
    • Ventilation holes;
    • Pipes, surface under the sink;
    • Corners in the bathroom and toilet are processed.

    Treat all cracks, pay attention to the voids under the wallpaper. Keep track of where cockroaches most often appear and where they run away, treat the surfaces there. After the procedure, remove protective equipment and clothing, wash your hands with soap and water, and then leave the apartment.

    Self-administration of the drug


    Using the poison Thiuram
    Before using Thiuram, you need to work hard. First of all, read the instructions. Manufacturers recommend different options for its use:

    • mix the powder with egg yolk, leave them in places where insects live;
    • Sprinkle the product along baseboards, under cabinets and in other places that are difficult for children and animals living in the house to reach.

    The process of destroying the Prussians with the help of thiuram is long:

    • It is better to send children and pets to relatives, to the countryside, or on vacation;
    • you should prepare the room: pack things, dishes and all kinds of items that you can;
    • put the food in the refrigerator;
    • move furniture away from the walls and wipe the surfaces of objects with a damp cloth;
    • close ventilation openings, doors, windows;
    • using a brush, apply the powder to those places where there are traces of insect activity, as well as to areas where cockroaches are localized;
    • process openings around the perimeter;
    • apply the product to walls and furniture surfaces;
    • It is recommended to place sheets of paper with powder in cabinets.

    The effect of the poison lasts several hours. If you have the opportunity to leave your house or apartment for 2-3 weeks, it is advisable to do so. Within half a month, cockroaches will emerge from the eggs and they will also come into contact with the powder.

    Advice!

    If you want to invite specialists into your home to exterminate cockroaches, it is recommended to contact only official institutions that guarantee the quality of the product.

    Security measures

    Vladislav, Izhevsk:

    “20 years ago there were an enormous number of cockroaches, and no matter what they starved them to death, it didn’t help. They disappeared for a while, then appeared again. Hands dropped. Now strong chemicals have appeared, they have freed homes from these parasites. I think, even if it’s a strong chemical, it’s not scary to kill it 1-2 times, but then wash everything off, and there are no more cockroaches. I killed everyone at the dacha with Tiuram, and I also got rid of the ants. An excellent remedy, it helps against everyone.”

    Post-treatment procedures

    First, one person returns to the apartment and will do the cleaning. Wet cleaning is also carried out wearing protective equipment. A soap solution is used to remove the effect of the pesticide. Surfaces that will be touched by humans are treated. It is necessary to wash absolutely all surfaces, even if you are sure that there is no poison on them. If there are pets in the apartment, it is necessary to wash all places to which they may have access. The apartment is very well ventilated, only after this the residents can return.

    Pros and cons of insecticide

    The drug "Tiuram" for cockroaches has both advantages and disadvantages. When choosing a pest control product, you need to take your specific situation into account. What is ideal for a garage or storage room that doesn't have food in it and is rarely visited by people, is not always suitable for living spaces.

    First, we can note the positive aspects of the insecticide:

    • destroys all cockroaches, even those individuals that have adapted to other poisons,
    • not addictive
    • also affects other parasites: flies, bedbugs, ants, mosquitoes,
    • retains insecticidal properties for a long time outside the packaging,
    • can be used outdoors to control plant pests,
    • effective at low temperatures.

    Now you need to think about whether the insecticide is good. The most reliable way to get rid of parasites is a fire, but no one burns down their house because of this problem. It is better to abandon the most effective remedy if people may suffer from it.

    Evaluate the disadvantages of the drug "Tiuram" for cockroaches:

    • high toxicity to people and pets,
    • the powder is inconvenient to apply on surfaces,
    • requires complex preparation of the premises,
    • people and pets must leave the apartment for a long time,
    • the drug cannot be used in damp areas,
    • After treatment, a thorough cleaning of the room is required.

    Advice

    If you want to use the services of specialized services to exterminate cockroaches, contact only official sanitary centers. Private companies may use low-quality drugs that are hazardous to health.

    To avoid the need to use too aggressive insecticides, such as Tiuram for cockroaches, make your home unattractive to insects. Maintain cleanliness and do not leave open food on the table. Take out the garbage every evening to prevent parasites from looking for food in it at night. Wash dishes immediately after eating, wipe up spills, and repair leaking faucets. If there is no food or drink in the apartment for insects, they will not move into your home.

    Advantages and disadvantages

    If we talk about the benefits of thiuram, then it is certainly worth mentioning its effectiveness. Because this is one of the few remedies that can provide quick and high results. In addition, it is worth mentioning that it has a prolonged action, since after application, the powder remains active for a long time and destroys “uninvited guests.”

    But the presence of such a disadvantage as a high level of toxicity can cover all the advantages. It is really dangerous to health and the baiting procedure is a very labor-intensive process in which you need to be very careful. Therefore, this drug is used by specialized services and is not recommended for use independently at home.

    Pros and cons of Tiuram against cockroaches

    Thiuram is a powder that is intended for application to “working” surfaces in the apartment. A cockroach that runs through this powder is instantly poisoned, but before dying it manages to infect most of its relatives. Thus, the entire colony dies out.

    The destructive effect is that the nervous system is damaged - the insects are seized by paralysis, and after a while they die from suffocation. At the same time, the cockroach does not need to taste the insecticide - it easily penetrates the chitin.

    The main toxic components of Thiuram are finpronil and pinerobutoxide. Separately, they can still leave the Prussian some chance of survival, but in the “paired” version, these poisons seem like a real cockroach apocalypse - everyone dies out, quickly and for a long time.

    This Thiuram is packaged in 50 gram bags. This amount is enough to process approximately 40 square meters of area.

    Like any remedy for cockroaches, Tiuram has its advantages and disadvantages. So, among the main advantages of this tool are:

    1. Thiuram against cockroaches is able to cope with a large number of pests.
    2. This remedy can be successfully used to combat any parasites.
    3. This insect repellent can be used outdoors.

    The negative qualities of this product include the following:

    1. Thiuram against cockroaches is dangerous for animals and humans.
    2. This product is not freely available due to its toxicity, so the drug can only be purchased from specialists.
    3. Like any product in powder form, Thiuram against insects is not very convenient to use.

    Thiuram for pests is sold in powder form

    Like any other cockroach powder, Thiuram consists of a potent substance, pinerobutoxide. This substance significantly increases the period of exposure of other components of such a product to pests. Simply put, with the help of pinerobutoxide, you can easily destroy the Prussians. To do this, it will be enough to treat the apartment once. The smell of this product is provided by special additives.

    Be that as it may, this drug is capable of affecting cockroaches at any air temperature for a long time. It’s just not advisable to use Tiuram against pests in rooms with high humidity. In principle, this also applies to other powders.

    As a rule, Tiuram against cockroaches is sold in fifty-gram packages. That is, one package is enough to treat a small room.

    In the photo you can see what cockroaches and their larvae look like

    Thiuram for cockroaches

    When using Thiuram, as when working with other cockroach powders, it is important to follow the following algorithm for working with the product. Firstly, we prepare the apartment for processing, that is, we remove small items, pack food, remove pets and children from the premises

    It is recommended to treat an apartment with Tiuram while wearing personal protective equipment, that is, disposable gloves and a mask.

    You also need to stock up on a sponge or wide brush. First we sprinkle a thin layer of Tiuram on the backs of the carpets, then we treat the baseboards and facing panels

    When sprinkling upholstered furniture - armchairs and sofas, we pay special attention to their internal parts. This product should be poured into the side joints and armrests.

    After finishing baiting the cockroaches, thoroughly wash your face and hands. It is also necessary to wash clothes. Next, we leave the apartment for a few hours. When we return, we open the doors and windows and clean the room. We clean the treated surface as follows: wash objects made of hard materials with a solution of soda and soap.

    To achieve the best effect, cockroaches must be dealt with immediately

    The product is produced in the form of a white or yellowish powder. “Tiuram” is packaged in metallized packages of 15 and 50 g. The insecticide is a powerful toxin, so it must be stored away from food and utensils, out of the reach of children and pets.

    Powder against cockroaches "Tiuram" is a highly poisonous substance based on pinerobutoxide. This compound is part of the group of pyrethroid insecticides, which negatively affect the nervous system of insects. The drug leads to disruption of nerve impulses, paralysis and death of the insect.

    Many people are concerned about the question of where to buy Tiuram powder for cockroaches. The product is difficult to find on the open market. This compound is used in rubber production to prevent the spread of termites. You can also purchase the drug from SES employees.

    Scope of application, principle of operation

    Thiuram is used by professional exterminators. However, the drug is quite suitable for household use, only in this case a small sealed bag is purchased. In addition, this type of toxic substance is not freely available and is not easy to find. The main purpose of Thiuram powder is to accelerate the process of rubber vulcanization. Additionally, the substance poisons insects, most often cockroaches, but it can also be used to successfully remove ants.

    Tiuram powder can be used for cleaning residential and non-residential objects. It is better not to use this substance in a children's or playroom due to its toxicity. The principle of operation is based on damage to the nervous system of pests. A cockroach, running over the treated surface, comes into contact with the poison and gradually dies.

    Thiuram powder is recommended to be used in dry form. It is not diluted with water. The product consists of many tiny particles that are light in weight and easily become airborne when the package is opened/during the processing of the object. In this way, the poison penetrates the cockroach's respiratory tract.

    There is another way to control pests - preparing poisoned bait. In this case, insecticides affect cockroaches through the digestive system. As a result of the simultaneous penetration of the toxic substance into the body of insects in different ways, the dose of poison increases, which accelerates death.

    Pros and cons of Tiuram

    Like any other modern remedy for black and red cockroaches, cable Tiuram has its positive and negative sides. The main advantages that make buyers choose this powder are the following:

    1. The product allows you to deal a crushing blow to a horde of cockroaches, therefore, it can be used to treat residential and non-residential premises with a large infestation zone.
    2. The high rate of insect destruction is also captivating. Literally after 3-4 hours you can find the first corpses on the floor.
    3. The powder equally successfully exterminates both cockroaches and bedbugs, ants and other insects that have come into contact with the poison.
    4. The substance retains its properties for some time after disinfestation.
    5. The price of the powder does not hurt your wallet too much. A small bag of Tiuram insecticide will cost approximately 100 rubles.

    Unfortunately, the drug has plenty of disadvantages. It is worth mentioning the high toxicity of the reagents included in the insecticide. The powdery mass is formed by very tiny particles, and therefore they instantly enter the airspace from the open package.

    • An insecticide, which includes chemical components dangerous to humans, effectively fights arthropods. The contact action of the poison, penetrating the cockroach’s body, affects cell division and also seriously inhibits the formation of chitinous cover.
    • If a large amount of Thiuram gets into the air (0.5 g per m3), a person becomes seriously intoxicated and requires urgent hospitalization.
    • The poison copes with a large number of cockroaches (it can destroy both adults and larvae, kills eggs), and it can also be used for preventive purposes.
    • The product is non-addictive and kills insects that are accustomed to other less effective chemicals.
    • Some manufacturers producing Tiuram have an interval between preventive actions of 3-4 months.
    • The drug is considered universal. It can be used against (moths, ants, bedbugs, fleas, mosquitoes, flies).
    • When exposed to open air, it does not lose its effectiveness.
    • This poison is not available in traditional retail outlets, large supermarkets, and is difficult to obtain.
    • The powder form is not very convenient to use, it is especially difficult to apply it to hard-to-reach places.
    • After treatment, you need to vacuum the room, and also wash the room with a special soda solution; this is an additional burden, especially if a person is constantly busy.
    • A disposable bag contains a small amount of insecticide, which may be enough for a small room.
    • The drug does not lose its effectiveness at low air temperatures, so it can be used even in early spring.
    • When applying the powder to furniture or parquet, the poison does not deform the surface.

    “Tiuram” has many advantages, as well as disadvantages, but it’s up to you to decide whether to use this type of poison or to abstain. The undeniable fact is that it works, and kills areas of heavy cockroach infestation. On the other hand, you will have to leave your home for a long time, because the poison is considered a high-risk insecticide.

    Danger of Tiuram

    Thiuram powder is an anti-cockroach powder, but you can’t get it at your local hardware store. And not in the near future either. If you find a product in a store, ask for a quality certificate and study it carefully. purchasing such a powerful insecticide from a dubious manufacturer can have very dire consequences.

    The product is used in industry for the production of cables and rubber. Thiuram is a strong poison. If its concentration in the air is high enough, severe poisoning is guaranteed. In production, people working with Tiuram must undergo a medical examination and obtain clearance. Only people wearing protective suits, respirators and goggles are allowed to work.

    Housewives who use Thiuram have no idea how dangerous the product is. They have a particular effect on pregnant women, the elderly and children. To minimize risks, you should only use products purchased from reputable sellers who have the necessary certificates. It is not advisable to use Thiuram that was not purchased at a pharmacy.

    On a note!

    Thiuram can be used not only to control cockroaches, but also to kill garden pests.
