Mechanism of action on bedbugs
First of all, it is worth deciding on the terminology.
In fact, the correct name for the chemical is Lambda Zone, and a lambda probe is called an oxygen sensor. But on various forums dedicated to the fight against bloodsuckers, the remedy for bedbugs Lambda Zonda is a fairly common name. The drug is intended for the destruction of bedbugs and other annoying living creatures: ants, cockroaches. The mechanism of its action is quite simple: the poison, enclosed in a special capsule, enters the digestive organs of the bloodsucker and paralyzes its limbs. An insect, deprived of the opportunity to obtain food for itself, quickly dies.
One of the most pressing questions for apartment owners is whether Lambda Probe kills bedbug eggs or not. The poison is not capable of destroying oviposition immediately after treatment, but thanks to its prolonged action, the drug manages to cope with newborn bloodsuckers.
Mechanism of action of Lambda Probe, reviews
“Lambda decoy” is a universal insecticide that is produced to Koreans according to its secret formula. It is stored as a suspension in miniature capsules containing the active substance. At the moment, little can be said about its composition, however, the high effectiveness of the product, combined with its availability on the market and good advertising, captivates many consumers.
According to the mechanism of action, Lambda is a powerful insecticide that affects not only cockroaches, but also bedbugs, fleas and other insects. A distinctive feature of this substance remains its effect exclusively on the body of cold-blooded creatures, including reptiles.
If such pets live in the house where Lambda treatment is planned, they must be isolated from the effects of the drug.
When searching for information about the product on the Internet, you may come across that many people leave unflattering reviews about Lambda Probe for domestic cockroaches. It's all about the incorrectness of its application. If you follow the rules of use, the result will always be positive. However, it must be said here that for many, treating a room with an appropriate insecticide may seem too complicated.
Composition and release forms
The main active ingredient Lambda Cyhalothrin helps against bedbugs well - it is one of the most effective insecticides. The composition of the preparation of pure Cyhalothrin contains 2.5%.
Externally, Lambda Probe for bedbugs, which has very good reviews, is an almost transparent suspension. It is enclosed in microcapsules and packaged in small bottles of 50 ml, and one container is enough to disinfest 100 meters of area.
Such a convenient dosage is an advantage: people do not have to overpay for a large amount of the drug, which may not be useful.
Advantages and disadvantages of the chemical
Like any toxic substance used to remove cockroaches from an apartment, Lambda Zone has both positive and negative sides. Let's look, first, at the advantages of the insecticide. The drug for cockroaches “Lambda-Zone” is unique in its kind, as it is not addictive and acts for 24 hours
Advantages:
- In a record short time, the poisonous suspension managed to earn a reputation as an effective antiparasitic substance that fights not only cockroaches, but also other arthropods.
- More than 84% of available insect repellent chemicals only act as a repellent. Lambda zone refers to the rest of the drugs that destroy parasites from the inside. Moreover, their death occurs within 24 hours.
- Long-term protection of the apartment from insects is another unique property. An insecticidal agent can create a “chemical barrier” for those migrants who are so eager to enter your property. The drug will hold back their onslaught for more than two months.
- The components included in Lambda are absolutely safe for all living beings: i.e. The chemical is not capable of causing any harm to either the human or animal body. In addition, it is completely odorless, which means neither headaches nor nausea will bother you.
- More than 47% of insecticides, after the first treatment, develop a certain immunity in the younger generation of cockroaches. Lambda zone is not addictive.
Flaws:
- The drug is difficult to find in regular hardware stores (but can be ordered online).
- The cost of a 50 ml container varies from 650 to 750 rubles (depending on the region).
- Lambda cannot be used to treat upholstered furniture, toys, clothing, bedding, but this is often where cockroaches make their nests.
In what cases is it necessary to change the lambda probe?
As a rule, the oxygen sensor is not replaced until it is more or less serviceable, since the part is not cheap. You can detect a lambda probe problem using diagnostics. If we consider the resources of oxygen sensors existing today, they are approximately as follows:
- Zirconium sensors not equipped with heating - from 50 to 80 thousand km >;
- Heated zirconium sensors - up to 100 thousand km >;
- Broadband zirconium sensors – up to 160 thousand km .
The need for replacement can be determined at a service station during an inspection, when a specialist discovers that the lambda probe is still working, but is already on its “last legs”. This means that the part should be replaced immediately.
How to use insect repellent?
It is not at all difficult to destroy parasites in the house with the help of Lambda Zone, but you should follow some recommendations.
First, before processing, do the following:
- Carry out a thorough wet cleaning in the house where cockroach control will take place. Wash floors, smooth surfaces and interior items with water and detergent.
Insects usually settle in places where it is difficult for people to reach them - behind tables, kitchen units, refrigerators, between baseboards and walls; Therefore, before cleaning, move large objects away from the walls if possible, and also pay special attention to small gaps and cracks.
- hide all clothes, toys, dishes, after inspecting them for the presence of parasite eggs.
- remove small children and animals from the house. Although the manufacturer reports that its chemical is non-toxic, we should still ensure the necessary safety for our loved ones.
- close all windows and doors: drafts reduce the effectiveness of the insecticide.
Secondly, carefully read the instructions for use. Failure to follow the basic rules will not lead to the desired result.
When the above steps are completed, we proceed to preparing the solution. Add 10 ml of Lambda to 1 liter of clean water, mix thoroughly and pour the suspension into a spray bottle.
On a note! The dosage of the drug depends on the degree of infection of the apartment and the quality of the surface being treated, so follow the instructions for the chemical.
Microcapsules need to be sprayed around the entire perimeter of the apartment so that cockroaches have nowhere to hide. Don't forget about the bathroom and hallway. Do not skimp on the solution, but moisten all surfaces well. The main thing to remember is that poison should not get on upholstered furniture.
After the mission is completed, leave the room for 30-60 minutes.
After diluting the suspension with water (see instructions), it is necessary to treat all areas where cockroaches accumulate with a spray bottle
At the end of the time, open all windows and doors to ventilate the apartment.
Microcapsules will spread throughout all insect shelters
Anyone who has experience fighting cockroaches and bedbugs knows that even if you treat every visible crack, hole, or corner in the house, the likelihood that all insect shelters will be affected in this way is small. But this problem is relevant only for various powders, gels and liquids. If you use Lambda Zone, whose operating principle is more progressive, the result will be different.
Procedure for exterminating cockroaches
If a person seriously intends to independently carry out pest control in the house using Lambda, he will have to make thorough preparations for this process. It is the key to quality results and the safety of all residents of the house.
There are several most important points of this procedure, without which you should not start processing:
- Before using an insecticide, be sure to carry out a thorough wet cleaning of the entire house. The fact is that for some time after using the chemical it will not be possible to wash it off. That is why it is important that the house is clean. Cleaning also remains one of the best preventative measures for the appearance of Prussians.
- Next, you need to move all the furniture away from the walls, hide equipment (TV, computer, etc.) in plastic, all clothes, food, small personal hygiene items and other similar things should also be removed.
- Treatment of the room should be carried out using a spray bottle or a special industrial sprayer. In any case, it is necessary that no one else remains in the room, and the exterminator himself must use protective gloves and a suit (if possible).
To effectively kill cockroaches, the product must be diluted in an appropriate amount of water before spraying. To do this, you need to carefully study the instructions, which accurately indicate the proportions. You can't do everything by eye. This is one of the most common mistakes when cleaning an apartment using this product, because of which many cannot solve their problem with Prussians.
Very often, either too little of the active substance is used, which does not bring the desired result, or an excessive amount is used with the development of side effects already at the exterminator himself (if appropriate protective clothing is not used). This is why you must always follow the instructions.
Main advantages
- the drug is highly effective, since the capsules stick to the legs of the insect and spread the poison throughout the body;
- the duration of action of the product is 8 weeks (and this is only a small part!);
- the product is harmful only to insects; Lambda Zone does not affect humans or animals and does not cause harm to health;
- the substance has no odor, so no side effects have been identified;
- the most important thing is that insects cannot get used to this product.
Mode of application
First, clean the apartment, do a general wet cleaning. All this is necessary to ensure that the effect of the product remains as much as possible in the room, and wiping dust and washing the floor after treatment is strictly prohibited. Then, move all furniture away from the walls, pack equipment well in bags, and remove food and personal hygiene items from visible places. Let everyone leave while the room is being processed, close the animals tightly or take them to foster care. All further prevention occurs with the help of a spray bottle. Treat all corners and surfaces and leave the house for an hour. Upon arrival, open the windows to ventilate the apartment and wipe only the most important items for use. As soon as the floor is washed with soap after 3-4 days, animals can be allowed into the apartment.
Basic Precautions
The most basic mistake that many make is the incorrect dosage of the drug for treating the apartment. If you dilute Lambda Zone with a small amount of water, you can cause a bad reaction in the body during prevention. Therefore, use the instructions and the correct proportions, because you are working with a toxic product. But here, again, there is another typical mistake: do not overfill the water. After all, the more of it and the less of the drug, the more ineffective the effect on insects will be. A small concentration does not kill bedbugs and ants, but, on the contrary, it only “makes them laugh” and does not scare them.
Customer reviews:
“This is a unique drug that helps to eradicate all the insects that are in the apartment. I really like it when there are no distinctions between pests: this is a remedy for bedbugs, this is for ants, and so on. That's why I prefer Lambda Zone. I would also like to say that the product is really effective, it acts very quickly on pests, after which they die. All that remains is to carefully sweep up their little bodies and throw them away.”
“This is a worthy remedy. Along with other drugs that I have used, I can say that it is one of the five best. I have been using Lambda for several years now and the product has never let me down. The most important thing is to dilute the substance strictly according to the instructions, in equal proportions, so as not to harm yourself or give life to insects in the apartment.”
“I recommend it to everyone! In one day I got rid of bed bugs that had been terrorizing me for six months. No remedy has helped as much as this. Now, I will always turn only to this drug. And the cost is inexpensive, the effect is ideal, and the consumption is economical. I think that this drug should be the best, since there are a lot of positive reviews about it!”
To permanently get rid of any type of insect, purchase the substance Lambda Zone. The capsules that make up the entire drug are firmly attached to the paws of pests and act on the rest as a global infection. After all, when the insect runs to its nest, the capsule already firmly adheres to the body, affecting the entire nervous system and instantly spreading to the rest. Lambda Zone is perhaps the best remedy. Hurry up to purchase it and quickly treat your living space so that you can sleep peacefully and have good dreams, without jumping up at night from bites and swarming pests in the kitchen.
Preparing the room
Immediately before treatment, it is necessary to wet clean the apartment. The absence of dust will improve the adhesion of the insecticide to the surfaces being treated. It is also worth considering that after disinfestation you should refrain from cleaning for 2-3 weeks so as not to wash off the sprayed product. We move all the furniture in the bedroom away from the walls, at a distance necessary for the free passage of a person, this will simultaneously facilitate processing and increase its efficiency. We hide food in the refrigerator and wrap the dishes in cling film. We place clothes, bedding, toys in vacuum bags (this will prevent the spread of bedbugs to other rooms) and carry out heat treatment at high/low temperatures.
Guaranteed protection against re-invasion for 2-3 months
Cockroaches, bedbugs, fleas - like any criminals, love to return to the scene of the crime to again do dirty tricks on a person and in every possible way interfere with a peaceful life, running across the face of a sleeping child and drowning in a glass of milk left on the table. But you can be sure that with the Lambda Zone, harmful insects have no chance of coming back.
The key substance included in the drug is “lambda-cyhalothrin”, the chemical formula of which is an advanced invention. This substance is enclosed in microscopic capsules, from which the poison is released in small doses over a period of 2-3 months. Thanks to microcapsules, the effectiveness of the substance is maintained for 8 weeks, during which pests are poisoned and repelled.
We are processing the apartment
Before disinsection, all residents, including animals, must leave the premises. We spray the potential habitats of bed bugs, as well as possible routes of their movement, usually this is the space near the bed where the bulk of the insects are concentrated. The consumption rate of the finished solution is 100 ml per 1 m² for non-absorbent surfaces and 200 ml for absorbent ones. After completing the disinfestation, you should wash your hands with soap and rinse your mouth with a soda solution. Before residents return, the apartment must be ventilated for an hour. During ventilation, we wipe the places with which people most often come into contact with a soap solution with the addition of soda.
How not to make mistakes in use
Even such an easy-to-use cockroach repellent can be used incorrectly. Typical mistakes that people make when processing other substances. The main mistake is the wrong dosage. For example, you added too little product to a large amount of water - the result will be zero. Or, on the contrary, you poured too much product and not enough water - an allergy is possible due to the peculiarities of the body's reactions.
Another mistake is failure to take precautions. Some people, considering the drug absolutely harmless, neglect basic safety rules - gloves and a bandage. Personal protective equipment is a mandatory aspect of this procedure, regardless of what substance is used.
The burning microencapsulant Lambda Zone will surprise even the most seasoned cockroaches. With the advent of this remedy in the house, the long-term struggle will be successfully completed.
A few words about insect immunity
Currently, more than 80% of the products for cockroaches, bedbugs and fleas on the consumer market only repel insects, and do not eradicate their population at the root. Moreover, to almost 68% of these drugs, cockroaches have developed strong immunity. It is for this reason that attempts to permanently get rid of an annoying neighborhood using these means are almost always doomed to failure. But don't despair!
The Lambda Zone microencapsulant is capable of destroying all pests rampaging through your home in 2-5 days and repelling others for 2-3 months after use, preventing their reappearance. Moreover, this remedy is not some kind of local chemical weapon, which acts equally on both insects and domestic residents along with their pets.
How to achieve maximum efficiency
The use of the drug in liquid form involves using a fine spray. Ideally, this should be professional high-pressure equipment. When processing it yourself, use a high-quality spray bottle - the smaller the holes in it, the better. This is a fundamental point, since it will allow you to achieve the same consumption of the composition as the manufacturer suggests. And the poison will get into even the smallest cracks and holes, which means the bug will be guaranteed to be defeated. The drug should get into even the most inaccessible places
The mechanism of action of poison on insects
Lambda-cyhalothrin is an inhibitor that acts on the principle of oxidative phosphorylation. When the bug comes into contact with the treated surface, the substance penetrates the digestive system of the pest. Next, the killing components are absorbed into the hemolymph. From this moment on, the nervous system is damaged - the motor centers of the bug are completely paralyzed. Metabolic processes decrease, breathing stops. At the same time, the bug loses its ability to feed and dies within 24 hours.
Microcapsules are no less tenacious than cockroaches
“Lambda Zone” is produced in South Korea using the most high-tech equipment that is possible in the modern chemical industry. The manufacturers of this product paid special attention to the reliability of microcapsules. Thanks to the perfect chemical formula of the material of the capsule walls, they easily withstand exposure to moisture, direct sunlight, cold and contact with other substances, remaining intact. Thus, insects will be in for an unpleasant surprise everywhere for a long time.
Ordering delivery of this product in our store means investing in the normal sanitary condition of your home for many months to come.
Protect yourself when working with poison
In case of contact with the mucous membrane of the eye, redness occurs. No allergic reactions were detected upon contact of the poison with the skin. It is advisable to wear a protective suit, mask, goggles and gloves before treating the room. In case of contact with the mucous membrane, you should immediately rinse your eyes with clean running water. If there is no special clothing, then the minimum protective set is: rubber gloves, a hat, goggles and a respiratory mask made of several layers of fabric. Although, we still recommend purchasing a respirator. Clothes must have long sleeves.
All pets should be removed from the premises during treatment. Potted flowers should be placed in a safe place. Cover the aquarium with fish on top with a lid. Pack baby supplies in sealed bags. Hide food in the refrigerator. Do not spray poison onto the body of household appliances during processing. Remember that the bottle of insecticide should be kept out of the reach of children.
Proper equipment for working with poisons, but lacking headgear
See a doctor immediately! Even with the low toxicity declared by the manufacturer, lambda-cyhalothrin poses a certain threat to humans. For example, improper handling of the drug can lead to poisoning. In this case, the following symptoms will appear: salivation, loss of coordination of movements, difficulty breathing, tremors, decreased muscle tone. With such a clinical picture, it is important to seek medical help as quickly as possible.
