Which odorless powder is effective against bedbugs?

The strengths of powders and crayons are their low cost, simplicity and ease of use. But it is better to use them at the initial stage of the appearance of bedbugs in your home. If you allow parasites to multiply, you will have to spend money on more toxic products. In advanced cases, you cannot do without specialists.

Before you begin, identify areas where bedbugs accumulate. As a rule, these are sleeping places or close to them. A sign of bedbug habitation is bedbug droppings (characteristic black dots). Apply the product in a thin layer, evenly on the back side of furniture, carpets, rugs, along baseboards, along cracks.

The walls and floor need to be treated.

A syringe is convenient when working with powders. Use gloves, remove other people and pets from the room, open vents or windows.

Ecokiller

The powder contains only natural ingredients, without toxic chemicals. In this respect it is unique. It is based on diatomite (rock flour) - tiny particles of specially processed rocks. They have sharp edges. These particles, once on the insect (body, joints), violate the integrity of the waxy layer of the shell, absorb moisture and cause death from dehydration.

Packaged in bags or bottles.

Advantages:

• safety for people and animals;
• does not cause allergic reactions;
• guaranteed effectiveness, destroys the entire population;
• long shelf life (up to 5 years);
• is not afraid of getting wet (after drying, it works 100%);
• the inability to develop immunity in insects;
• long lasting on treated surfaces.

Fighting bedbugs yourself

It is quite possible to defeat bedbugs on your own with modern means and a wide range of toxic substances.

On the market, the consumer will find several dozen different means of exterminating these creatures. These products are inexpensive, there are aerosols, powders, and liquid concentrates. If you dilute them, you get a reliable poison at home.

There are old folk methods. To increase efficiency, it is worth using several methods at once. Toxic drugs against bedbugs are described below. After familiarizing yourself with them, you can choose for yourself which of them is the most effective poison against bedbugs.

Liquid remedies for bedbugs

Effective liquid bedbug repellents:

1. Forsyth. The company that produces Forsyth positions it as one of the safest: it has little contact with air and almost does not create vapors that a person inhales. Forsyth kills adults and larvae, but does not harm bedbug egg laying. The effect of the drug lasts from three to five months. Forsyth contains cypermethrin. This compound has been used in agriculture since the 70s of the last century.

All preparations that contain this substance belong to the group of contact-intestinal insecticides. They paralyze the nervous system of pest larvae and adults.

• Get. This product is one of the most expensive liquid poisons in the price range, but it is effective and safe for people. Safety is ensured by the fact that the active components act only on cold-blooded insects, and there is no contact with air. The poison is enclosed in microcapsules that are heavier than air, and they do not move during natural circulation in the room. These capsules do not break down for a long time (up to 6 months). This ensures the long-term effect of the drug. Look at the address of the official website of Get.
• Lacterin. This liquid remedy against bedbugs cannot boast, like the previous ones, the ability to maintain its activity for months. Lacterin causes the greatest damage within three days, then its toxicity greatly weakens. It does not destroy bedbug eggs, so after the death of adults, a new generation will appear, which will have to be poisoned again. Lacterin is not harmless to humans; you should strictly adhere to the instructions for use, use gloves, prevent contact of the drug with children and animals, and make sure that Lacterin does not get on food. Hazard class of this liquid is 3 - moderately hazardous substances.

Actellik. This drug for controlling bedbugs is difficult to use at home. Actellik has a high evaporation rate; a person can inhale it and become poisoned. Actellica hazard class number 2. These are highly dangerous substances; a large dose will certainly lead to severe poisoning. It is necessary to work with this substance wearing gloves and goggles. The potency of the drug lasts for at least three weeks. During this period it is prohibited to be present in the apartment. The toxic substance is Actellica pyrifos-methyl. With the systematic use of pirifos-methyl against bedbugs and insects that produce many generations per season, these pests develop acquired group resistance. If the bedbugs did not die after treatment, it is not recommended to use Actellik again in the same apartment.

• Insekta Dibro-fin. Paralyzes bedbugs and kills them. The bedbug eggs remain unharmed; after two weeks, a new generation of bloodsuckers will emerge from them, which will have to be fought again. Insekta Dibro-fin is easy to use. You need to mix the liquid with water, mix it and you can immediately treat the room.

1. Raptor. The recognizable dinosaur, having killed all the mosquitoes, finally took on the bedbugs. The spray should be applied to areas where insects accumulate and where bedbugs move. This ensures long-term protection of the room, since insects, coming into contact with the surface treated with an aerosol, become carriers of the toxic substance and die after some time. Alphacypermethrin in Raptor is resistant to heat and sunlight and will act for a long time, so the treatment area should be protected from children and pets. Raptor must be sprayed at a temperature not lower than 10 degrees, otherwise the spray will be ineffective.
2. Carbosol. This aerosol is based on the karbofos toxin. Karbofos is poisonous, but in aerosols it is mixed with bottled gases to prevent poisoning of people. Therefore, it will not be possible to completely get rid of bedbugs with one treatment. It is necessary to walk through cracks and baseboards, where bedbugs like to hide, with Carbosol several times at intervals of a week.
3. Prima-U. Successor to Prima71 of the Ural Chemical Plant. Spray at a temperature not lower than 10 degrees. Do not use more than one cylinder. Repeat if necessary after 5 days.
4. Perfos-P. This is a relatively new insecticide against harmful insects and has a paralyzing effect on bed bugs. Spraying must be done indoors when no one is there. Perfos P has an unpleasant odor, which means you need to open the windows and ventilate the rooms. The activity of Perfos-P lasts up to 14 days, but secondary treatment is often necessary. To determine bedbugs, you need to carefully spray the poison and walk through hard-to-reach cracks. Perfos-P is a very reliable drug. Numerous reviews say this

5. 
   Raid.

   The main active ingredient in Reid is cypermethrin. It blocks nerve impulses, and the parasite stops moving for a long time. The raid also contains imiprotrine. It is he who kills the insect, which is immobilized and unable to leave the area treated by Reid. Those individuals that have avoided direct exposure to the aerosol and have not received a critical dose of the toxin bring it to the nest on their abdomen and legs and poison the bedbugs around them with it. It is recommended to use Raid if bedbugs have appeared recently and are not numerous. The peculiarity of Reid is that the effect of its action can last from 15 to 20 days, which is long for aerosol-type drugs.
6. Dichlorvos. This is an old, proven remedy for combating ectoparasites. But apart from the name Soviet, today's dichlorvos and the old one have nothing in common. The contents of the jars vary. Modern dichlorvos uses pyrethroids that are different from old ones - active poisons for insects. They are positioned as less dangerous to humans. Special dichlorvos are produced, advertised as a poison made specifically against bedbugs. But this is just a marketing ploy. The filling is the same for cockroaches and bedbugs. There are two manufacturers on the market: neodichlorvos (Arnest, Russia, and dichlorvos Varan A BioKhimPharm, Russia).

1. Riapan is a dry powder placed in a bottle. The product is applied in a thin layer where bedbugs are most likely to accumulate. The main ingredient in this powder is permethrin. It is also used to treat pediculosis and dermatitis. So Riapan is harmless to humans. It blocks the nerve signals in bedbugs, and they stop moving and die.
2. Neopine is a finely dispersed, odorless substance. The toxic properties are not strong and disappear three hours after spraying the powder in the apartment. That is, Neopin cannot completely eliminate formed bedbug colonies, but it can slow down their population growth. This powder is sold at household chemical retail outlets.

Phenaxin powder

The active ingredient of the powder is fenvalerate, supplemented with boric acid. Upon contact, it disrupts the functioning of the nervous system of bedbugs, leading to paralysis and death of the pest. Packaged in pollinator bags of 100 and 200 grams, it does not require preliminary preparation for action.

Advantages:

• versatility;
• remains effective for 1 month after treatment;
• low toxicity, relatively safe for people and pets (it is recommended to avoid contact);
• a few hours after treatment, the smell practically disappears;
• reasonable price;
• convenient and easy to use.

How to use powders against bedbugs

Powder insecticides are available in different packaging - from 10 to 200 grams. Instructions for use are usually written in detail on the packaging of the drug.

Powders are used in their pure form - scattered over surfaces in the house. There is another application option - a concentrated solution. The powder dissolves in water in the concentration indicated on the package. The proportions vary depending on the degree of infection. After dissolving, the liquid is poured into a spray bottle and the area is sprayed.

Fas-double powder

Dual action powder: two active agents (zeta-cypermethrin and es-fenvalerate) combined with a catalyst (synergist). The impact on the pest is double: direct contact and gastrointestinal. Thanks to this, the powder is highly effective, but toxic to humans and pets.

Due to toxicity, it is recommended to entrust the treatment of premises to professionals or be sure to use protective equipment (gloves, goggles, respirators).

Packaged in convenient pollinator bags of 125 g. No preparation for use is required.

Advantages:

• profitability (one package is enough to process 40-60 sq.m.);
• high efficiency;
• long lasting effect even in direct sunlight;
• cheapness.

Anti-bedbug drug Riapan

Riapan has long proven itself to be positive in the fight against cockroaches and bedbugs. This drug is available in powder form, which makes it even more effective in use. One of the main active ingredients is permethrin. When the drug comes into contact with the parasite, it gradually weakens its immunity, which subsequently leads to the death of the bedbugs.

Using Riapan is quite simple. The powder must be distributed in those places where parasites usually find secluded places to exist. For example, ordinary baseboards. The drug must be used for a long time, approximately two or three weeks. When processing, you should pay attention to household appliances, batteries, as well as furniture. After all, bedbugs can penetrate into the most inaccessible places for humans, so it is important not to miss anything. After Riapan has been used the required number of times, the house or apartment will need to be thoroughly cleaned. Be sure to thoroughly rinse the areas where the powder was located.

Absolute dust

The powder is based on fenthion 0.25% and deltamethrin 0.02%. Packaged in convenient spray bags or duster bottles.

Advantages:

• the effect is observed within 1-2 days after application;
• remains active for up to 2 months;
• increased adhesion to surfaces;
• faint odor;
• efficiency;
• very affordable price, you can buy it almost everywhere;
• practically harmless to humans;
• versatility.

Tornado (Tornado) dust

Active ingredient: cypermethrin 0.25% boric acid 5%.

Advantages:

• efficiency;
• versatility;
• kills not only the pest, but also eggs and larvae;
• low toxicity to humans and domestic animals (hazard class III);
• economical (one package of 150 g is enough to process 100 sq.m.).

The above means of combating bedbugs are time-tested and proven to be effective. Choose the product that suits your needs and you will get rid of bedbugs.

Anti-bedbug preparation GET

Get is a new development of insecticide in the 21st century. This drug is a 5% solution of chlorpyrifos. It is produced in the form of an emulsion, which makes it very easy to use.

The structure of the drug is designed in such a way that the active substance is enclosed in microcapsules. Thanks to the active substance of the drug Get, the parasites are paralyzed, which after some time contributes to their death. Not only the bug that received the dose of the drug dies, but also everyone else who came into contact with it. Since microcapsules of the deadly poison remain on the bug treated with Get, it easily infects other insects. Therefore, Get is a universal drug that allows you to destroy entire orders of bedbugs.

This drug is easy to use. The procedure for exterminating bedbugs can be carried out independently, without outside help. Unlike its predecessor, Get does not have an unpleasant odor, it is completely safe for humans (has a hazard class of 3), so it is allowed to be used indoors without temporary eviction.

Another main advantage of the drug is its long-term effect. Most often there is no need to apply it a second time. If this drug is simply sprayed into the air, its effect on bedbugs will last about 40 days.
