Small blood-sucking insects cause a lot of trouble, because their most unpleasant feature is feeding at night. During the day, bedbugs can live in the sheathing, and bite mainly in the dark. Pesticides are produced every year to help fight parasites, but it is difficult to decide on the best option - each manufacturer praises its own product. Reviews from real customers who have personally verified its effectiveness will help you choose the most effective bedbug repellent.
Concentrate Executioner
Price 90 rubles.
The German drug is a yellowish transparent liquid without a pungent odor. The active ingredient fenthion blocks the nervous system of insects, which leads to their complete paralysis and death. Executioner is available in small 6 ml plastic bottles, which are sold in hardware stores. The concentrate must be diluted with water to obtain a working solution according to the instructions - it is advisable to use it immediately, since the main component is very volatile and disappears quickly. The bottle is enough to treat 5 m², but the budget price allows you to purchase the required amount of the drug.
Pros:
- Effective destruction of parasites.
- Reasonable price.
- It does not stink - there is only a slight odor reminiscent of kerosene. After treatment, it quickly disappears when the windows are open.
- You don't have to throw away expensive furniture.
- A noticeable hologram reliably protects buyers from counterfeiting.
Minuses:
- Executioner is relatively safe, but when inhaled it enters the bloodstream. When a chemical is eliminated, the body produces an increased amount of enzymes, which can cause health problems. It is advisable to remove warm-blooded pets and children from the apartment during disinfestation.
- Allergic rhinitis may occur during processing, so it is better to protect the respiratory tract.
Ecokiller
Price 400 rubles.

GEKTOR powder against bed bugs
Price 550 rubles.
A powerful new generation product that has no analogues on the domestic market. Available in tightly sealed plastic bottles.

Advantages and disadvantages of vinegar as a remedy for bedbugs
Before you use vinegar to get rid of bedbugs, you should consider all its advantages and disadvantages. Perhaps at this stage the most rational person will decide to give preference to other folk or professional remedies. But someone, on the contrary, will be inclined to do this.
The main benefits of vinegar are:
- Availability. You can buy apple cider vinegar or vinegar essence at any store at any time of the year.
- Cheapness. An amount of vinegar sufficient for a massive treatment of an apartment will cost several times less than a similar amount of a potent insecticide.
- Safety - for children and pets. Vinegar does not cause allergic reactions, and the amounts used to control bedbugs are not toxic to people or beloved pets.
The main disadvantages of vinegar are:
- Low efficiency. Often, vinegar will not even drive the parasites out of the room. Bedbugs and vinegar can be in the same room at the same time.
- Strong smell. The apartment stinks disgustingly after being treated with vinegar. Acetic acid smells too strong.
Vinegar can be used quite successfully to prevent bed bugs from entering your home. It disappears quite quickly, so this treatment must be carried out quite often.
Features of the use of insecticidal preparations
There is no miracle solution or aerosol that will completely rid your home of insects in one go. The size of the parasites allows them to “wait out the storm” under baseboards, in switches, sockets and cracks. The success of the fight against parasites does not depend at all on what place a particular bedbug remedy occupies in the TOP 10. High-quality disinfestation and re-treatment of the apartment brings high results:
- Dishes and food must be removed from the room or wrapped tightly in plastic wrap.
- Windows and doors should be kept closed while spraying the drug and for several hours after.
- Furniture should be moved away from the walls, and access to the corners and pull-out units of the bed should be provided.
- It is better to wash bed linen, curtains, blankets and fabric interior elements at a temperature of 50 °C - they cannot be treated with pesticides.
Do not relax if after the first treatment the pests have completely disappeared. A new generation can create a large-scale colony in just a month, so it is important to repeat disinfestation 2-3 times after a certain period of time.

How to use vinegar against bedbugs
On forums about bedbugs there is a private question: Write how to destroy bedbugs in an apartment using this product? There are a lot of bedbugs, how can I stop their migration using vinegar?
Very simple!
All places where pests can accumulate and penetrate are wiped with vinegar essence: window sills, baseboards, inner corners, and so on.
Spray a mixture of water and vinegar (mixed half and half) on baseboards, under furniture, and on bed legs.
Since parasites often hide in pillows and bedding, it is recommended to treat footboards and headboards with diluted vinegar. You should always remember that these measures only have a deterrent effect; they can temporarily protect a sleeping person, but will not eliminate the invasion completely.
How to prepare the solution?

And it is necessary to make a decision about its use when there are still few parasites in the room and it is well known that the neighbors do not have any.
Then, after being bullied, they will probably die outside the walls of the apartment and never return. For homes, vinegar does not help much and only temporarily delays the re-entry of insects into the apartment.
How to prepare the room?
Preparing the room before treatment requires a number of mandatory actions.
Do a little cleaning before using vinegar. Unfold all beds and wash bedding at high temperatures.
Pillows must be dry cleaned, and mattresses must be left in the cold for several days or treated with steam. Both high and low temperatures have a deadly effect on linen bugs.
Move all furniture away from the walls to allow easy access to baseboards. Be sure to thoroughly check all furniture for insect colonies.
Take books from the shelves and shake them. It is also better to take it temporarily to another room. Remove small children and animals from the apartment. Remove all decorative elements from the walls and treat them with a vinegar solution from the inside out.
How to treat an apartment with vinegar?
How to get rid of beetles with vinegar? It must be mixed in equal proportions with water.

Vinegar can be bought at any store. Don't spare money, it won't ruin you. Don't be afraid of allergies. Don't expect to be rid of annoying critters for long.
Precautionary measures
You can use long sleeves, rubber gloves and a respirator.
After processing, do not forget to ventilate the room. After a few hours, do a wet cleaning.
