How to get rid of house bugs: the best chemicals

Bedbug repellents are most often available in the form of:

Aerosols
Spreev
Concentrates
Poroshkov

Aerosols and sprays are the most convenient means, as they are completely ready for use. More suitable for disinsection of individual objects and surfaces. You can treat the entire apartment with them, but most likely you will have to buy several bottles of insecticide.

Concentrates in various forms are quite effective, but require preliminary preparation of solutions with calculation of proportions and the presence of special equipment for spraying. Most of the products in this category are professional, so they should be used with extreme caution in everyday life.

Powdered insecticides are the least popular because they must be literally sprinkled on areas where bed bugs gather, which creates unnecessary mess and can be dangerous if you have pets and children. A compromise option can be considered natural powder products that do not contain chemicals.

Helpful advice.

When choosing a remedy for bedbugs, start with safer and simpler options - sprays and aerosols, and only if they do not help, switch to concentrates. Working with drugs for dilution in water is always a risk that you should not expose yourself to unless absolutely necessary.

Mechanical destruction

The mechanical method is known to everyone: you can simply crush bedbugs with a slipper or newspaper. It will not work if the room is heavily contaminated. But when you need to quickly get rid of several insects that accidentally ran into your apartment, you can use this method.

Larger groups of insects can be eliminated using a vacuum cleaner. If you have a powerful enough device, then parasites can be extracted even from hard-to-reach places. Of course, both methods will be too labor-intensive and ineffective if bedbugs have colonized large areas.

Whatever method you choose, remember: bedbugs need to be destroyed quickly. They tend to multiply at great speed, so if your remedy turns out to be ineffective, call professional exterminators.

Medilis-SUPERPOWER FROM BUGS

Medilis-SUPERPOWER FOR BUGS – an insecticidal agent against resistant populations of bedbugs.

This product is specifically designed to get rid of resistant (resistant) bedbug populations. It must be used when products containing pyrethroids or FOS do not help. The duration of the effect is shorter than that of pyrethroids or FOS (up to 3 weeks), but Medilis-superpower against bedbugs has a quick and acute effect on bedbugs. The manufacturer states that tests in real conditions on particularly resistant bedbugs have given excellent results.

Composition: In addition to cypermethrin, the composition contains the active substance imidacloprid from the Neonicotinoids group. Imidacloprid has contact, intestinal and systemic effects on the insect. According to scientific data, bedbugs are highly sensitive to imidacloprid and therefore products based on it are recommended to be used on populations of bedbugs that are resistant to other groups of insecticides. Bottle volume 250 ml. Method of use: using a jet at a distance of 20 cm from surfaces, treat places where bedbugs accumulate, live and move: joints of parts in beds, sofas, armchairs, cracks in walls, under window sills, along baseboards, borders, in places where wallpaper lags, the back of paintings, carpets , around door, window frames and ventilation grilles. Shelf life: 4 years. The product is ready for use (no need to dilute with water).

CIMEX

D/V: Alphacypermethrin (78%) Chlorpyrifos: (11%)

This pest control product was developed by the Finnish chemical industry - “Instituutin Kemianteollisuus”. The binding components of the disinfestant were developed and aimed specifically at the destruction and removal of bedbugs. "CIMEX" promotes 100% destruction of insects and prevents the re-entry of parasites into the treated area!

APPLICATION:

The drug is diluted from 2 to 3 liters of water (t °C +30, +40°) per 100 ml. substances. The room is treated using a manual or compression sprayer. When processing, take precautions, use a respirator, gloves or other similar protective equipment. In case of contact with eyes, rinse with cool water! “CIMEX” does not contain active acids! When the prepared solution comes into contact with the skin, it does not cause chemical burns or irritant skin reactions. The consumption of one capsule is calculated for (50-150 sq/m) of the room being treated, depending on the amount of furniture. The bathroom and dining area do not need treatment! The diluted solution is stored for no more than 10 days (t °C +2 to +10)

Disinsection against bedbugs is carried out:

destructive force

The “Deadly Force” aerosol contains a substance of the pyrethroid class – cypermethrin. It is this that provides the insecticidal effect against household insects. This is a fairly stable substance and does not decompose under the influence of sunlight and high temperatures in a short time. Toxicity for humans is average (hazard class III).

Some new generation aerosols contain a number of other substances. They can also be insecticidal in their action (for example, imiprotrin) or bactericidal (isopropyl alcohol, alkylbenzyldimethyl). This concomitant antibacterial effect will reduce the contamination of bedbug habitats with pathogenic microorganisms. “Deadly Force” also includes a perfume composition that reduces or completely eliminates the unpleasant chemical odor of the product.

Karbofos

Bed bugs are distinguished by their vitality, rapid reproduction, and ability to adapt to toxic substances. Karbofos combines 3 directions of action - larvicidal, ovicidal, imagocidal. Malathion has a nerve-paralytic effect and penetrates the skin and respiratory tract. Leaves no chance of survival for adults or larvae. Due to the strong concentration of the active ingredient, Karbofos destroys the egg shell. This is not typical of all new generation insecticides. The larvae, remaining in the egg, lose the ability to develop normally. And if they are born, they are immediately exposed to poisons. Because the drug leaves a protective film on the surface. It will be in effect for several months.

Instructions for use

Immediately before disinfestation, prepare a solution. Dilute the concentrated emulsion in a ratio of 2–5 ml per 1 liter. water at room temperature. Mix well for 5 minutes. Place in a spray bottle. It should be taken into account that on absorbent surfaces the consumption of the product increases by 2 times. Increased concentration of solution – 5 ml per 1 liter. Water is required when the room is heavily infested with bedbugs. Or if the treatment is being carried out for the first time. Reuse a less concentrated solution of Karbofos.

How to prepare an apartment for disinfection against bedbugs:

Delta Zone

You can buy this chemical in the online store. The price will be approximately 600-700 rubles per 50 ml. It is sold in a bottle in the form of a highly concentrated emulsion, which, according to the instructions for use, must be diluted in water. Manufactured by a Korean company. There are a large number of reviews from customers about the effectiveness and excellent results after using the insecticide.

This drug is microencapsulated. There are few such insecticides yet, but most likely they are the future. This means that the special liquid contains a huge amount of nanogranules with an active compound.

Microcapsules are convenient because after processing, when the water dries, a layer consisting of them remains on the surface. When a bug or any other insect passes by, granules with deltamethrin are attached to its legs and chitinous shell. After this, the pest gradually dies. Because of its flat shape, the bug catches the most insecticide, so it dies faster. The main substance affects the nervous system of the parasite, which leads to paralysis and death.

Cifox

Tsifox is a concentrated solution, the main active ingredient of which is cypermethrin. It consists of eight isomers, thanks to which it destroys flying and crawling insects. The composition also includes solvents, fragrances and emulsifiers. Tsifoks for bedbugs is sold in bottles of 50 ml, 500 ml and 1 l. The liquid is clear or slightly yellow in color and has a sharp and specific odor. The drug is resistant to acidic environments and ultraviolet rays. Neutralized with an alkaline solution.

Since Tsifox only affects adults and larvae, complete destruction of the population occurs in 20-30 days. Thanks to the contact action, the chemical components kill those parasites that subsequently emerge from the eggs laid by bedbugs.

In order for the product to be as effective in the future, it must be stored correctly. The bottle should be hermetically sealed and stored in a dark place, not exposed to direct sunlight. The drug is highly flammable, so it must be kept away from heating devices.

Removing bed bugs from an apartment:

Fas

The active ingredient of the powdered product “Super Fas” is a synthetic pyrethroid – cypermethrin. Due to its prolonged effect, it is included in many drugs. The active action is to suppress the nervous system of the bug. Cypermethrin penetrates the insect's body through the integument (chitinous membrane) and the digestive system, clogging the spiracles and irritating the intestines. Normal organ activity stops, the bug “breaks” into paralysis and death occurs. The drug, which has a dual effect, contains, in addition to cypermethrin, a neonicotinoid – thiamethoxane. Unlike its companion, this is a fairly new chemical substance that began to be actively used in the fight against blood-sucking insects in the late 90s of the last century.

Insecticide

The Research Institute of Disinfectology recently developed an effective powder against bedbugs, called Klopomor. There are already good reviews about it.

The use of an insecticide is as simple as possible. So, according to the instructions for use, it is necessary to treat places where insects accumulate and live with the drug. After this, it is necessary to ventilate the room for about half an hour. It is also recommended to wash work surfaces with which a person comes into contact. The spray costs from 400 to 700 rubles. Let's take a closer look at its composition and instructions for use.

The insecticidal agent Klopomor includes four main components:

permethrin,
cypermethrin,
organic solvent,
piperonyl butoxide.

The insecticide is designed to effectively kill bed bugs and other insects. The use of this powder requires special precautions. It is used in places with a particularly large number of insects by conventional spraying. Processing is carried out exclusively with rubber gloves and a mask on the face. After work, wash your hands with soap and rinse your mouth.

Protect yourself from getting the product on your skin or eyes. If powder gets on the skin, according to the instructions for use, it is recommended to use a 2% soda solution to treat the damaged area.

Lambda Zone

Lambda Zone is a new generation insecticide. In any case, that's what its manufacturer says. The product is created only in South Korea using patented technology. The product itself is a microencapsulated suspension. This means that the insecticide, namely lambda-cyhalothrin with a concentration of 2.5%, is placed in carbon nanotubes. The latter, in turn, are located in nano-capsules in the aqueous sphere. Due to this, only a small amount of this product is needed for 1 liter of water.

These main advantages of the drug contribute to the fact that it is quickly becoming popular and in demand among those who suffer from bedbugs or other insects. However, it also has its disadvantages. The main one is the high price. Perhaps one bottle is affordable for the majority of the population ( 650 rubles in Russia), but for thorough disinfestation this will not be enough. Although it is not needed as much as other products, the price for pest control from SES or private services is often lower than the final cost of the product.

Another disadvantage of the insecticide is that it cannot be used on clothing, bedding and children's toys. Because of this, these items will need to be processed separately, because a couple of bedbugs can easily hide in these things. And this is not always easy. On the other hand, when using Lambda Zone, even bedbugs that survive disinfestation will die as soon as they enter the area treated with the insecticide.

Sonder

The substance was created based on new technologies using an original patented formula. The main effective components: two poisonous insecticides of contact and intestinal type (a group of pyrethroids and a group of organophosphorus compounds), a pesticide of intestinal contact action, acting as an amplifier of the toxicity of insecticides. The components are in the emulsion in the form of microscopic particles, which enhances their activity in the working solution. The effect is prolonged on treated and dried surfaces. Microcapsules of the drug left after treatment on objects that have not been wet-cleaned “cling” to the legs of insects, are carried by them to places of accumulation, and also penetrate upon contact into the body of bedbugs through the chitinous shell. Contribute to mass destruction.

Preparation of the drug

Specialty hardware stores do not sell the insecticide. The place where you can buy Zonder for bedbugs is the disinfection departments of sanitary or other special services. The concentrated emulsion is sold in bottles (100; 250 ml) and canisters of 1 and 5 liters with roll-on caps. It has the color of weakly brewed tea and a specific smell.

Agran

Insecticide-acaricide Agran is a synthetic drug that stops the vital activity of bedbugs and any other parasitic and blood-sucking insects in human housing. The composition of the product is as follows:

Cypermethrin 5% (second generation pyrethroid, insecticide) -
Chlorpyrifos 50% (broad-spectrum contact insecticide)

Thanks to the complex composition, the elimination of insects is achieved both when the drug is consumed orally, and even with the slightest contact with the product. If it hits any part of the body, the insect dies. The advantages of using Agran against bedbugs are as follows:

Long-lasting effect - the release of substances harmful to parasites lasts for a sufficiently long period of time, which ensures the death of all hatched nymphs.
High concentration - the proportion of active components in the product is high, one bottle is quite enough to treat a large room several times due to abundant dilution.
Low cost - the product is accessible to everyone.
Ease of use - the product can be sprayed on any surface, or moistened with it on floors, or spilled into cracks behind baseboards. The method is chosen by the person himself depending on the need.

Raid

When choosing a bedbug repellent, we place the following requirements on it:

Its effectiveness in solving our problem and safety directly for us. Since basically all drugs are made on the basis of peritroids or on the basis of FoS (organophosphorus compounds), their principle of action is the same. They differ only in the amount of one or another substance included in the composition.

The spray contains 3 substances:

Cypermethrin 0.1% contact substance from peritroids. It affects nerve endings, blocking them causing paralysis of the insect and subsequent death.

Prallethrin with a concentration of 0.03% has the same principle of action as cypermethrin.

Imiprotrin - enhances the effect of the peritroids included in the product.

Spray Raid is a contact insecticide, that is, it interacts with the insect through direct contact and is transmitted to all individuals upon their contact. Getting inside through the chitinous shell of the insect’s body, it blocks the transmission of nerve impulses, causing paralysis of the insect and subsequent death. Available in the form of a spray with a volume of 400 ml, and is enough to treat 15 - 20 m2. The residual effect is up to 15 days, which is quite a long period for sprays. Available with added fragrance - the smell of citrus, lavender, etc.

Raptor

The main advantage of the Raptor manufacturer is the ability to select individual products for almost every type of insect. Moreover, each such product contains different insecticides, and the form of the product is also different, so we can say that the manufacturer takes into account the specific characteristics of different insects. Of course, this approach is the most effective in combating parasites. Raptor has several products against bedbugs: Bedbug aerosol is a unique product that is used to combat only bedbugs. An aquafumigator is a set of tools that provide instant elimination of any insects using an effective method of spreading insecticides throughout the treated area. Anti-crawling spray is a remedy that is equally effective against bed bugs and other types of wingless insects, such as ants, cockroaches, and so on.

Forsyth

Forsythe anti-bedbug product is available in the form of a slightly golden emulsion with a distinct, specific odor. The drug is packaged in canisters and bottles of different sizes. The smallest bottle contains 50 mg of concentrate, which is diluted with water before use.

The composition of the product is represented by the following components:

fenthion 25%;
fragrance;
stabilizer;
Excipients.

The current active component is fenthion, a new generation insecticide. After the bug comes into contact with the poison, the parasite’s nervous system is blocked, paralysis occurs, which leads to its death. The drug Forsyth is used for disinfestation in medical and school institutions, which confirms its safety. The product is effective not only against bedbugs, but also ants, cockroaches, and fleas.

This drawback is compensated by a prolonged effect - the product retains its properties for 3-4 months, thereby ensuring the death of the younger generation.

According to reviews of Forsyth against bedbugs, the drug has a number of advantages:

reliable result - if an apartment or house is heavily infested, it will be possible to get rid of parasites in 10-14 days;
long residual effect, which avoids re-processing;
ease of use - just dilute the Forsyth product with water in accordance with the instructions and the working solution is ready;
does not emit toxic fumes, so its use is possible even in a house where small children live.

Empire 20

The insecticide is available in the form of a thick, pale yellow suspension, packaged in 100 ml plastic containers. A specially developed microencapsulation technology was used in the production of the chemical. The active substance of the drug is enclosed in shells, which facilitates its gradual release. Therefore, you can use the product not only to destroy blood-sucking insects, but also to prevent their reappearance in the apartment.

The insecticide contains chlorpyrifos, a chemical compound that experts classified as hazard class 3. This means that if the working solution is prepared incorrectly or safety precautions are not followed, the drug can cause harm to the health of humans and pets. The thick emulsion also contains: preservatives; emulsifiers; dispersants; substances for the formation of microcapsules.

Tetrix

Thanks to its unique formula, Tetrix is considered one of the leaders in the fight against blood-sucking insects. Its active ingredients are Cypermethrin and Metaphos (methyl analogue of thiophos). Both of these products are widely used for professional pest control.

Created in 1974, the artificial compound Cypermethrin was first used to kill pests on plants. The drug began to be used as an active means to combat parasites at home a little later. Cypermethrin attacks the digestive system, as a result of which bedbugs cannot suck blood normally and die .

Both Metaphos and Cyperamine also have an effect on the nervous system of parasites, which leads them first to paralysis and then to death. Both of these agents act selectively only on blood-sucking insects in the form of bedbugs, fleas, and ticks. At the same time, they destroy not only adult individuals, but also egg clutches.

Medilis

Medilis cyper is a modern insecticidal preparation, which is an emulsion concentrate with 25% of the active substance. The drug is yellow, transparent. For use, the emulsion must be diluted with water. Available in the form of ampoules of 1 ml, glass bottles of 10 ml and plastic bottles of 50 and 100 ml. The shelf life is 5 years.

Compound

The product contains emulsifiers, fragrance and cypermethrin. The active ingredient is cypermethrin, an insecticide of the pyrethroid group. It works by contact-intestinal method. Once on the chitinous cover of the bug, cypermethrin penetrates the body and destroys the insect’s nervous system, which leads to its death.

Phenaxin

The product "Phenaxin" is a product and is a powder for dilution with liquid or for dry processing. Powder packaging - 100, 125, 200 g. It can be used not only against bedbugs, but also against any other pests - cockroaches, fleas, ants.

The active substance of the drug is fenvalerate (0.35%) - an insectoacaricide from the pyrethroid group. Additional components:

White soda
Boric acid
Talkomagnesium
Kaolin
Oil

Dobrokhim

Dobrokhim Micro bedbug repellent is a modern drug for killing bed bugs. The formula of this insecticide is borrowed from such famous products as Empire and Master 250. It is based on the organophosphorus compound chlorperifos, which is contained in a microcapsule made of a polymer base, which provides the product with unique effectiveness. The synthesis of such a complex formula is technologically very difficult, so the product is not cheap. But its effectiveness, safety and duration of action pays off its cost many times over.

The product is diluted with water and applied to surfaces with a regular household spray bottle.

To remove bedbugs you need:

1. Do a wet cleaning of the room to wash away chemical traces of insects, to provoke a feeling of temporary disorientation in them.

2. Take care of personal protective equipment. It is recommended to use: rubber gloves, a chemical suit (a raincoat is possible), safety glasses, a respirator. Open the windows!

3. Dilute “Dobrokhim” with ordinary water, at room temperature. For 1 liter of water, 4-5 milliliters of the drug. Concentration must be strictly observed! The product can be diluted directly in a spray bottle.

4. Using an ordinary household spray bottle (which is usually used to spray flowers), spray the solution into places where insects may appear. Recommended application areas: baseboards, borders, door jambs, window frames, cornices, switches, sockets, ventilation grilles, wallpaper areas, bed frames, sofas and armchairs. Not processed: soft toys, bed linen, bedspreads, mattresses, covers for chairs and sofas, clothing.

5. After treatment, ventilate the room well for an hour! It is recommended to leave the room for 3 hours after treatment, then you can wet clean the floors. There is no need to rinse off the product applied to walls and furniture.

Traditional methods of dealing with bedbugs at home

In an apartment, such methods are the first to be used. It is known that parasites avoid the rich smell of some plants. Chamomile, tansy, wild rosemary, wormwood can be used both fresh and dry, as part of concentrated aromatic oils. Scented herbs are laid out in places where bedbugs may live in the home, the room is sprayed with decoctions and infusions, and wet cleaning is carried out.

More modern folk remedies include vinegar, kerosene, naphthalene, transformer oil, turpentine, denatured alcohol and others. It is important that all folk remedies for controlling bedbugs in an apartment help only temporarily, so it is better to use them for preventive purposes.

Agran

Made in India
Water-based emulsion in 50 ml bottles
The main active ingredients are chlorpyrifos 50% and cypermethrin 5%
Bottle price ≈ 150–200 rubles

Hector

Hector today can be considered an ideal means for self-extermination of bedbugs at home. It is effective, kills all bedbugs that come into contact with it, and is absolutely safe for people and pets.

Its only peculiarity is that it kills bedbugs within a few days, since in order for it to work, the insects need to run over it. But considering that it does not lose its properties for months if it is not washed off or wet, this feature cannot even be considered a disadvantage - you just need to be prepared that the bedbugs will not disappear in 2-3 hours, as with products with a pungent effect and a strong odor , and after 2-3 days.

Experiments show that Hector kills bedbugs within 2.5 hours from the moment the insects first come into contact with the product, even if during this time they only periodically come into contact with the powder.

The main advantages of Hector are the absence of odor and non-toxicity for humans, both for adults and children. It is also safe for pets. It's true: the active ingredient in it is silicon dioxide, which is used in medicine as an inert component of tablets. Even if it is swallowed, poisoning will not occur because silica is not toxic. There are no known cases of any allergies arising from its use.

However, in general it kills bedbugs quite effectively. Exterminators often work in apartments where people have previously tried to remove bedbugs with Hector, and find here a large number of dried and dead bedbugs.

Therefore, by the way, many exterminators themselves use Hector as an auxiliary product: after the main treatment with a professional preparation, they pour powder in those places where bedbugs can move, migrating from neighbors. Or they recommend that customers sprinkle the product there themselves - this is considered one of the ways to prevent the appearance of new bedbugs in the apartment.

But, as a rule, people are afraid to sprinkle Hector in sufficient quantities on their sleeping places, they do not renew the product, and new parasites are often acquired from their neighbors. And while these aliens die, they manage to bite people. In such cases, people complain that the drug does not work. Although in reality the issue is not the drug, but its incorrect use.

That is, Hector has the same problem as the Executioner: he kills bedbugs, but few use it correctly. Most buyers use it once or twice, are unable to remove the bedbugs, and end up calling the service anyway.
