Reviews
At my dacha, neighbors raise chickens and pigs. We often get flies from them. A very unpleasant phenomenon. I used adhesive tape, it had an effect, but I wanted to achieve a better result. A work colleague suggested buying Agita. I decided to try it. I applied it to the walls and floors in all rooms of the dacha. Within a couple of hours, insect corpses were lying everywhere. The product is good, I recommend it!
I want to tell you about Agita insect repellent. My husband and I recently moved to a house on the outskirts of the city. And they encountered an unpleasant problem: insects. Flies, midges, and mosquitoes constantly fly into the house through open doors and windows. I started looking on the Internet for information on how to get rid of insects. They offer many chemical and folk remedies. I found positive reviews about Agita fly repellent. I ordered a small jar on the website to try. I only treated the kitchen and veranda with it, but a lot of flies died. After that, I bought a large jar and treated it everywhere. Until the end of summer, insects no longer bothered me.
I learned about fly poison from my neighbors. They poisoned flies with Agita in their barn. I have a chicken coop and a small barn in my yard, where I keep pigs every summer. Naturally, flies flock to the smell. I treated the walls at a height of 1.5 meters and the ceiling so that the pigs could not reach the poison. As a result, there are much fewer flies; new ones fly in every day and die almost immediately. A very effective remedy.
Efficiency and effect of the drug
This drug is very effective, and the effect, when used correctly, lasts for a long time.
The product begins to act within 5 minutes after contact with the insect , since the nervous system of the fly is affected and it dies. A day after treatment, all annoying insects are destroyed.
"Agita" is considered a very effective drug and will really help solve the problem of fly infestation.
You won't see these insects in your home for about 8 weeks. But the duration of the drug depends on the method of application. When sprayed, the effect will last up to 6 weeks, and when applied with smears or using the drug in dry form – up to 8.
Flies in the house: why are they dangerous?
Of course, flies are not the most dangerous insects that can appear in the house. They do not drink blood (with the exception of the burner fly) and do not cause such disgust as occurs when “meeting” bedbugs and cockroaches. Houseflies cause anxiety when there are too many of them. The buzzing of these insects is annoying. But the problem of being close to flies is not only their intrusiveness. They can cause many health problems, as they are carriers of infectious agents:
- dysentery;
- typhoid fever;
- paratyphoid fever;
- cholera;
- tuberculosis;
- polio;
- helminthic and protozoal infestations, etc.
One fly on its furry legs carries up to 50 thousand pathogens.
If flies appear in an apartment, they will land on everything: dishes, food, personal items. This means there is a risk of contracting an infection.
Advantages and disadvantages
This means of fighting flies has its pros and cons.
So, among the advantages of the drug there are:
- Versatility. It can be used to control not only flies, but also other insects such as wasps, cockroaches, bed bugs and fleas.
- Ease of use. The powder just needs to be dissolved in water and sprayed into the air or treated surfaces. It also can not be dissolved in water, but used in dry form, spread out in places where parasites accumulate.
- Harmlessness. This product is a low-hazard substance and does not harm human health. In addition, “Agita” is approved for use in residential premises and public places, so there is no need to be afraid that household members may suffer from it.
Among the disadvantages of the drug, there is a not very pleasant odor that is present during application of the drug. However, after the treatment is completed, there is no stench.
Reviews
The Agita product was purchased to get rid of flies in a country house and under the canopy adjacent to it. I diluted 50 grams of warm (not hot!) water per 400 ml of water. I didn’t feel any smell, since I dissolved it directly in a plastic 600-gram bottle. The wall panels in the house were treated at a height of 150–170 cm from the floor and the ceiling of the open canopy adjacent to the house. Flies, flying under the canopy, begin to spin and “dance” in the air, then fall dead. All that's left to do is sweep it up. Night butterflies and moths, mosquitoes and crickets also die. When used in a city apartment to kill cockroaches, no effect was found, although this was also written in the annotation.

The main thing is that the Agita 10WG fly repellent really works. Moreover, the effect is long-term. Someone talks about weeks of life without flies after treating the area, but I don’t believe in such a period. My grandfather already used this poison at home (and there are tons of mosquitoes there, since the Kuban River is nearby) and noted a three-day effect. There is no price for this thing. Now you don’t have to close the doors to the street without fear of a house full of scoundrels with wings. By the way, the product can be used not only outdoors, but also indoors. The white, thick liquid that results after mixing the granules with water is quickly either absorbed or dries without leaving any visible traces. And yet, the product is also effective in the fight against cockroaches and fleas. So for 130 rubles this thing is like a gift from God. Especially for those living in areas with a high concentration of flyers.
