Rating of the best cockroach repellents

The drug "Cucaracha" is intended to combat various types of insects that are found in human homes. One treatment is enough for a person to get rid of bedbugs, fleas, cockroaches and other insects. The result can be consolidated by re-processing the living space.

The maximum effect from using the product is manifested when the requirements specified in the instructions are strictly followed. Each drug has its own characteristics, which is associated with the nature of the substance’s effect on harmful insects and parasites. At the same time, one should not forget about personal protective equipment, since “cucaracha” is considered a potent remedy.

Release form and mechanism of action

The chemical insect control agent is produced in Russia in the form of a concentrated liquid. Basically, the liquid is packaged in dark bottles of 50 ml, but there is a release form in large volumes - 1 and 5 liters. As a rule, such volumes are intended for special services. The concentrated liquid is used to prepare the active solution. To cope with bedbugs, it is enough to dilute 2.5 ml of this product in 1 liter of warm water.

The insecticide has a contact-intestinal effect. It contains two components - cypermethrin and malathion. This combination of active ingredients allows you to obtain the maximum effect, characterized by the rapid destruction of bedbugs and other dangerous insects.

Effect of the drug on bedbugs

The product “cucaracha” is characterized by the fact that it negatively affects the vital processes of insects immediately after contact with it. After the bugs have had time to taste the liquid, the components penetrate the digestive tract of the parasites, which leads to their death.

The components of a potent drug have different effects on the life processes of insects.

For example:

  • Cypermethrin 20% negatively affects the digestive system of insects. In addition, cypermethrin blocks the functioning of the central nervous system, after which paralysis and death occur.
  • Malathion 10% , despite its weak concentration, enhances the effectiveness of cypermethrin. Due to this, the insect cannot exist normally after paralysis of the nervous system. The substance can quickly evaporate from treated surfaces, but during this period of time it causes significant damage to the population of insects such as bedbugs, fleas, cockroaches, ants, etc. This combination of active ingredients practically does not cause an addictive effect.

Another advantage of the product should be noted: its residual effect lasts for one month. After treating the room, the product should not be washed off in hard-to-reach places where bed bugs like to settle. Thanks to this effect, it is possible to get rid of bedbugs for a long time, and maybe forever.

Reviews

Well, what can I say - it’s all hello, comrades. And this is putting it mildly, because at the sight of such extreme abomination

Only obscenities and curses addressed to the authors come into my head, and therefore do not blame me for such an emotional review, although, as I see, everyone is overcome by the same feelings as me.
such obscenity
in the world of animation (among the films made I saw a lot of disgusting things, and among the drawn cartoons I didn’t even suspect that such a thing existed, since cartoons are generally drawn for children, with the exception of special cartoons for adults like South Park).
I admit that I didn’t give Cucarache a score, but 3 out of 10, because I laughed a couple of times, plus the graphics and 3D are not as bad as everything else that is in this creation, and I only gave a score to one short cartoon (title I'll keep silent). I've seen such an animated madhouse as 'Savva. Heart of a Warrior', and such an outrage as 'Cracked Vacation', but there was still more positive stuff there than here, the same piece of slag won gold in terms of filth and immorality
.
Despite the fact that I found a couple of good moments in “Cucarache”, it caused me the most disgusting feelings and depression
, this is truly the most disgusting creation of all, which I rated 3, because in the so-called comedy “What Men Do 2”, I also appreciated it for its incredibly flat and idiotic humor, there is at least a positive atmosphere and beautiful views, but here, despite modern graphics, the whole picture, supported by 3D crashes (I managed to watch THIS on a brand new 3D TV), causes attacks of nausea, this is truly a 'Slaughter of Vomiting Dolls' in Russian, meaning that the effect is the same.
At the beginning, they immediately try to bribe us with excellent 3D with high-quality rendering and protrusions, they even manage to cause laughter by addressing a pigeon to a cat, but immediately the idiotic dialogues
, which, it feels like they were spoken by stoned gopniks who are not shy in expressions (just look at the phrase ' Don't laugh, you freaks' or 'they told us you're a redneck!' and other goofy vocabulary).
The authors try to brighten up this verbal chaos
with the love story of male and female cockroaches, but their conversations do not evoke any emotions, just like the cockroaches’ conversations about the theater where they can profit from food.
I was amused by the references to the films 'Terminator' and 'Titanic', and you can laugh at the scene where mice and cockroaches fought back the cat (humor in the spirit of 'Tom and Jerry'). This is where normal humor ends and all good things end here. What's most infuriating about this creation is the dialogue. Did they have the script written by experienced alcoholics or drug addicts? The immorality of the dialogues
is simply off the charts.
And this is a children's cartoon, I ask you? What kind of people are you making of our children? Scumbags, degenerates and oligophrenics? You can only become like that if you grow up watching such cartoons. Someone called the dialogues in “Cucarache” boyish - no, they are more like drug addicts! While watching, I had the feeling that I was about to hear “hey, let me smell it, otherwise the COCKROACHS are already moving under my nails
.
And what 'beautiful' music is here! Since when is cheap cacophony
that sounds like creaking doors considered music?
This is included here during every action scene, including during the football game played by the cockroaches. The budget was $4.5 million, so it really couldn’t have been at least included in Russian pop music, because they wouldn’t have spent as much as they would have on expensive orchestral music! What did the good actor Yuri Stoyanov forget here?
It’s worth admitting that his
pigeon with a voice like Zhirinovsky’s
(and you can’t tell Stoyanov’s voice from the deputy he’s imitating) carried the entire cartoon on its hump, but couldn’t pull it off.
And the worst thing is if the authors themselves think that they have done something witty and funny, and if someone else thinks the same. Don’t the authors themselves understand that they filmed crap, or is this a purposeful debilitation of children
?
Not a single positive review on Kinopoisk, which is pleasing, but at the same time, the box office figure is upsetting, which means that approximately a million people watched this in theaters; it is quite possible that adults and children came. And I would like to put it like my mother did after the session, but the child is nearby, and he has already heard a lot of choice abomination during the session. DISGUSTING, DISGUSTING, DISGUSTING!

Advantages

The drug "Cucaracha" has mostly exclusively positive reviews from owners and special services. If you strictly follow the instructions for use, you can quickly get rid of bedbugs and other insects.

The advantage of the drug is:

  • In high efficiency.
  • Long-lasting, up to 4 weeks.
  • In an effective combination of components.
  • In the rapid death of insects after surface treatment.
  • At an affordable price for the drug.
  • Ease of use.
  • Available for independent use.

Instructions for use

The concentrated liquid is diluted in water and then poured into a spray bottle. All places are treated with the product, especially hard-to-reach places where bedbugs can hide. In any case, you need to carefully study the instructions, since this drug is poisonous.

How to dilute the drug Cucaracha

You need to do this:

  • First of all, you need to find a container in which to prepare the product. If the volume of work is large, then you can take a plastic bucket and slightly heat the water.
  • A mandatory component is protective clothing, gloves and a respirator.
  • The third part of the liquid is poured into the bucket, after which the entire bottle of insecticide is poured into it and stirred with a wooden stick.
  • After this, the remaining volume of water is added to the bucket and mixed thoroughly.
  • The working composition must be used immediately after preparation.
  • You cannot heat the water too much; it should be lukewarm, otherwise the malathion will quickly evaporate.

Need to know! When preparing the amount of solution, it is necessary to take into account the nature of the surfaces being treated. If you have to treat wood, it actively absorbs liquid, which means that the consumption of the drug will increase. To treat a living area of ​​50-60 square meters, you will have to purchase 50 or even more milliliters of concentrate.

What areas require treatment?

Bedbugs prefer to be in hard-to-reach areas where the sun's rays do not penetrate, where there is a lot of dust and where it is warm. Therefore, such areas require very careful treatment. In such places, bedbugs usually lay eggs.

Therefore you will have to process:

  • Back walls of upholstered furniture.
  • Wooden headboards.
  • Bottom surfaces of mattresses.
  • Wooden details of a bedroom set.
  • Backs of cabinets and chests of drawers.
  • The area under the window sills.
  • On the reverse side, decorative elements located on the walls are processed.
  • Gaps in window sills, floors, baseboards, as well as holes near pipes and corners.

Disinfestation stages

Surface treatment consists of several stages:

  • First of all, it is necessary to determine the areas where the parasites are concentrated.
  • Purchase one or more bottles of poison at a retail outlet.
  • Prepare the room.
  • Evacuate all living creatures, carefully pack food.
  • Take personal safety measures.
  • Prepare the current solution.
  • Treat surfaces with a spray bottle.
  • Do not enter the premises for 4 hours.
  • After 4 hours, ventilate the apartment or house well and wash off the toxic substance from surfaces that you come into contact with every day. To do this, you can use a soap solution.
  • Take preventive measures to prevent parasites from appearing again.
  • If necessary, the treatment can be repeated after a week.

The most popular cockroach repellents

Clean house

A domestic brand that produces cockroach repellents in several varieties. Can be used in residential and non-residential premises.

Clean home spray

Aerosol . The best and most reliable means for exterminating cockroaches and other insects “on the spot”.

pros

  • Capacious jar designed for many uses.

Minuses

  • Toxicity, due to which it is worth ventilating the room
  • Sticky marks

Consumer review.
Olesya. They recommended “Clean House” to me (a friend praised it as a remedy for cockroaches, but I also tried it for fleas). I sprayed it all over the apartment and left for 3 hours. Afterwards I aired it for 20 minutes and washed the floors. Even though the manufacturer writes that the solution has no odor, there is still a smell! But it quickly disappears from the room! Result : I didn’t find a single living cockroach!!

Crayons clean house

Crayons . They are the most budget option, but they fight cockroaches well.

pros

  • Easy to use
  • They do not emit unpleasant odors.

Minuses

  • After repeated use, cockroaches are able to get used to the substance, so you should pay attention to other, more powerful options.

Consumer review.
Stepan. It is recommended to treat the room with it for 4-5 weeks, but the effect begins on the second day. I noticed cockroaches after the action of this powder - although they did not die immediately, they moved like the plague. Why is it necessary to do this for several weeks - cockroaches, running over it, pick up this powder with their paws and carry it to their nests. And over time, they begin to die or simply run away to another place.

Trap clean house

Traps . They are placed in places where cockroaches are expected to appear.

pros

  • Have no toxic odor
  • Cockroaches die near the installed trap without spreading to the sides, which is quite convenient.

Minuses

  • It only works if a cockroach is caught, and this is not 100%

Consumer review.
Ksenia. You can attach it using adhesive tape on the back of the traps. I had a lot of skepticism about these boxes, but the result was obvious, the cockroaches disappeared. So, if the opportunity arises (of course, I wouldn’t wish it on anyone), I can recommend such traps. It says that it also helps with annoying ants.

Argus

Just by its name, this brand inspires confidence and protection in its customers. But are these remedies really effective?

Vigilant Guardian Gel

Gel . A budget professional product designed for repeated use. This is its disadvantage, because it acts gradually and does not destroy cockroaches the first time. Contains neostomozan and chlorpyrifos.

pros

  • Affordable price
  • No offensive odor.

Minuses

  • Cockroaches may not die the first time.

Consumer review.
Anna. I swept it out a couple of times, washed it with bleach and other products, but alas, it didn’t help, it seemed to me that the whole kitchen was already covered in cockroaches. A neighbor recommended me the Corsarus “Vigilant Guardian” gel against cockroaches and ants, she said that within 3-5 days they would disappear and I decided to try it. In the evening, I thoroughly washed everything with chemicals and applied 2 cm of gel at a small distance from each other around the window frame, under the window sill, behind and in front of the baseboards - in general, wherever I got it. And indeed, not a single cockroach was observed for 5 days.

Crayons . An absolutely deadly thing for any type of insect, cockroaches are no exception. But it must be used in conjunction with some other remedy to achieve maximum effect.

pros

  • Easy to apply
  • Non-toxic.

Minuses

  • In relation to any other crayons, cockroaches have developed immunity, but it’s still worth a try.

Consumer review.
Boris. Hello everyone, about three months ago I encountered a problem like cockroaches, I didn’t know what to do, I asked people - they advised me to take a piece of chalk, I tried it and the result was obvious, the cockroaches began to fall...

Vigilant guard spray

Spray . Quite effective at a low price. Compact, easy to carry. One of the few drugs that has a pleasant smell. But at the same time, you still need to spray it very carefully - no one has canceled the toxicity.

pros

  • Price
  • Small dimensions
  • Nice smell.

Minuses

  • Toxicity.

Consumer review.
Marina. The spray is very small, about the size of a palm. There is a cup on top to prevent accidental splashing. It cost only 33 rubles, I thought it was bullshit for that kind of money, but I was pleasantly surprised by its effect. The spray is very convenient to use; it has a small spray nozzle. And in general it is convenient to store it in your pocket. The smell, despite the strong chemicals, is quite pleasant. But still I tried not to sniff.

Absolute

The drugs are manufactured by the Research and Production Association “Garant”, Russia.

Absolut gel

Gel . An excellent option in terms of price/quality ratio. Convenient packaging in the form of a syringe, thanks to which you can accurately calculate the dosage of the drug. The main disadvantage is that it only works for a small number of cockroaches. If the number of insects in your apartment has exceeded all permissible limits, we recommend that you consider other drugs from the list.

pros

  • Syringe helping with correct dosage
  • Price.

Minuses

  • Effective on small clusters of cockroaches.

Consumer review.
Angela. I acted strictly according to the instructions, applying drops of gel throughout the apartment, including the balcony. And, lo and behold! There have been no guests for a week!

The product is in a convenient tube, easy and safe to use, economical in use, and professionally destroys cockroaches.

pros

  • Easy to use
  • Effective and very strong
  • Invisible on the surface

  • Toxic

Consumer review.
Gleb. We bought it for students to use in their dorms. There are sooo many of these “guys” there. Before this they used Baron. But this one is much better, a very good price, but after some time the cockroaches gradually return, if you smear them, they disappear again.

Force-Site trap

Traps . They are a cardboard blank with glue applied inside. The sticky layer is protected by paper, which can be easily removed. You need to put a special bait in the form of a tablet in the middle of the trap. 5 tablets - just enough for the number of traps. When opened, the tablets emit a specific odor. After the bait is installed, you need to assemble a “house” and install it in the habitats of cockroaches. The effect occurs after the first night - cockroaches stick to the surface and cannot free themselves.

pros

  • Small dimensions
  • Easy to assemble and install
  • Convenient instructions

Minuses

pros

  • Instant effect
  • Widespread use

Minuses

  • Harmful to humans (but not fatal)

Consumer review.
Hope. The effect was really almost instantaneous! The cockroaches actually crawled out of all the cracks and immediately gave up the ghost. We left the house for three hours, and when we returned we saw that the floor was literally littered with their dead ends! I would never have thought that there were so many of them.

Dohlox

pros

  • Suitable for amateurs
  • Prevalence

Minuses

  • You need to wash your hands, because... toxic to skin and may cause unwanted reactions.

Consumer review.
Love. I syringed the poison into empty matchboxes so the cats couldn't eat it. Cats love their taste; one cat, sensing the dripping poison, tried to eat it. It is harmless to animals and humans, but you still shouldn’t tempt fate. The poison does not irritate hands when it comes into contact with the skin.

In general, this is the only poison that generally helps against cockroaches!

Dohlox trap

Traps . Works like all other traps. Installed where cockroaches usually appear. There are pills inside.

pros

  • Relatively low price
  • Without any smell

Minuses

  • Takes a week or longer to take effect
  • Sometimes it doesn’t work, or additional funds are needed

Consumer review.
Irina. These traps are convenient and most importantly odorless. You can put it anywhere and they don't get in the way. The main thing is to stay away from children.
