Chlorpyrifos

To purchase chlorpyrifos, a special permit or certificate from a legal entity is required. The product is used to kill bed bugs, ticks, aphids, cockroaches, flies, ants and even lice. It affects not only adults, but also their larvae.

Entering the insect’s body through the respiratory tract, the substance enters into a chemical reaction. As a result, the pest’s nervous system is paralyzed and it dies. The substance also acts on eggs. The development process stops, and the shell simply dries out over time. However, this occurs if the product is applied near the site of egg deposition. Otherwise, a strong shell can protect them, and the insects will hatch within 3–4 weeks. Chlorpyrifos is very persistent in the environment. In the air, the drug remains active for 1.5–2 months, in soil – about 120 days. Therefore, when new individuals hatch, they will receive a dose of poison and will soon die.

The antidote is atropine sulfate.

In case of poisoning

How does it affect the insect?

Once in the body, this substance phosphorylates a protein enzyme that is found in nerve tissue and is responsible for transmitting nerve impulses.

After the pest enters the body through its respiratory tract, the impulses are blocked and the insect is paralyzed. The product continues to act for 40-70 days. Its advantage is that it retains its properties in treated soil for 2 - 4 months, and according to some reports - up to 2 years.

What insects does it work on?

1.In agriculture it is used against:

• insects to which sugar beets are susceptible (weevils, moths, flea beetles, aphids, cutworms);

Chlorpyrifos is a universal insect repellent. Its correct use will help to quickly and permanently rid your home or summer cottage of pests.

Follow the instructions and observe safety precautions.

This drug was originally used to control mosquitoes. It was believed that it affects insects even in the larval stage of development. Currently, the drug has also proven to be quite effective in the fight against aphids, mites, cockroaches, ants, flies and even lice.

Chlorpyrifos is classified as a moderately hazardous substance, hazard class 3.

When used correctly, it does not harm the environment, human health, or animals. Maximum efficiency is maintained for 2 hours; under the influence of sunlight, air temperature is gradually destroyed. The substance is deadly to any insects, fish, and amphibians. Should be used when particularly necessary; do not use in reservoirs with fish or frogs.

Mechanism of action on bedbugs and cockroaches

Chlorpyrifos has a contact effect. When a substance enters the body of an insect, it penetrates the body and blocks the enzyme responsible for transmitting nerve impulses from the brain to the muscles. This leads to paralysis and then death of the insect.

The advantage of drugs based on chlorpyrifos is that they have a delayed effect. Therefore, an infected individual, remaining active for some time, brings the poison to the nest, where it transmits it to its relatives. This leads to massive death of pests and parasites.

Chlorpyrifos destroys not only adults and larvae, but also oviposition. As a result, the offspring stops developing, and the protective shell gradually dries out. But to achieve such a result, direct contact of the egg with a toxic substance is necessary.

Insect repellents based on Chlorpyrifos

Chlorpyrifos is an insecticide with intestinal and contact action. Chlorpyrifos, which is more resistant to the environment compared to other organophosphorus compounds, exhibits a pronounced intestinal effect. The longer it remains active, the more effective it is against chewing insects. When carrying out disinfestation with agents based on chlorpyrifos DV, the emergence of resistance in some insect species is observed.

Insect repellents based on Chlorpyrifos DV are effective against: red, black, American cockroaches, red house ants, black garden ants, as well as bed bugs, fleas, rat mites, flies and mosquitoes.

Table of products based on the active ingredient Chlorpyrifos

* Information on the list of insects against which the presented products have an acute effect is given on the basis of official instructions for the above insecticidal and insectoacaricidal agents.

Application

Before using chlorpyrifos-based preparations against bedbugs or cockroaches, you must first prepare the room. To do this, it is necessary to move furniture away to open access to possible places where insects are localized, remove animals from the premises, remove indoor plants, and pack food in sealed plastic containers.

After the preparatory measures, you should wet clean the room and put mesh or gauze plugs on the ventilation grilles so that the pests do not move to the neighbors.

Disinsection should be carried out with the windows open. According to the instructions, it is necessary to prepare a working solution based on chlorpyrifos. To do this, you need to dilute 50 ml of emulsion in 10 liters of water, the temperature of which should be above +250C.

Spray the solution at a distance of 30 cm from the surface. When using bedbug repellent, upholstered furniture and beds should be thoroughly treated. Pay special attention to folds, seams and junctions of individual elements. And also spray the solution on the back of paintings, loose wallpaper, and into the cracks on the walls.

Argan

When using chlorpyrifos against cockroaches, the concentration of the working solution should be increased to 60 ml per 10 liters of water. It is necessary to treat baseboards, adjacent areas of walls and floors, pipe entry points in the kitchen, bathroom and toilet, the back surface of cabinets, the area under the sink and near the trash can.

After treating the windows and doors, you need to close and leave the room for 7-14 days. After the waiting period has expired, it is necessary to ventilate the room, vacuum the furniture, soft toys, carpets, and wash all surfaces in the house with a soap solution containing soda. When the number of pests and parasites is small, one treatment with chlorpyrifos is sufficient. But if necessary, disinfestation should be repeated after 2 weeks, which will achieve maximum effectiveness.

Security measures

This organophosphate insecticide belongs to hazard class 2. Harm to humans from chlorpyrifos can be caused by failure to comply with precautions and exceeding the permissible dosage of the drug. In this case, speech impairment, dizziness, confusion, vomiting, stomach cramps, muscle tremors, and lacrimation are observed.

Poisoning occurs when inhaling harmful fumes, as well as in the case of prolonged contact of the insecticide with the skin, which leads to disruption of neuromuscular connections.

If alarming symptoms appear, you should immediately leave the room, take activated carbon at the rate of 1 tablet per 10 kg of body weight, wash it down with plenty of water. If your health worsens further, you should seek medical help.

To avoid negative health effects, only one person should be in the room during processing. He must carry out all manipulations with the drug in special clothing, a respirator and rubber gloves. Avoid contact of the working solution with exposed areas and mucous membranes. If this happens, you need to rinse off the product under running water.

After disinfestation, you should thoroughly wash your hands with soap, take a shower and wash your overalls.
