My home is my castle. Everyone has their own idea of home, but everyone agrees on one thing: Home is the place where we feel protected, where we rest our soul and body, where we always want to return. And we will never tolerate annoying neighbors—parasites—appearing in our home. Bedbugs are one of the most unpleasant insects; not only do they feed on our blood, but they are also carriers of many infections and diseases. Therefore, at the first appearance of these bloodsuckers, measures must be taken to destroy them. And if in isolated cases of occurrence folk remedies will help you, then in case of a large number of insects you need to use “heavy artillery.” In this article we will talk about such a remedy for bedbugs as Tsifoks.
Main advantages
The main thing that distinguishes the drug from similar products is its ability to destroy various synanthropic organisms. Tsifoks effectively fights flies, cockroaches, ants, bedbugs, and ticks. It is often used to treat rooms that are infested with scabies mites and lice.
In addition to treating premises, Tsifoks is also used in open areas and reservoirs. This is an excellent means of combating midges in artificial and natural reservoirs. The product is professional. It is often used to treat subways, trains and other public places. It has shown itself to be excellent in the fight against ixodid ticks. Benefits also include:
- high speed of action. The death of pests begins within half an hour after applying the drug;
- long lasting effect. Even those parasites that were still in the eggs at the time of treatment will be immediately poisoned after hatching.
- The product is perfect for treating residential premises, as it does not leave any marks on furniture.
When to use
The product is used not only for personal purposes, but also to ensure safety in public places. Tsifoks is widely used for:
- disinsection in premises where foci of pediculosis are found;
- destruction of ixodid ticks, which are carriers of dangerous diseases;
- processing of subway and railway facilities;
- indoor insect control;
- processing areas.
The cost depends on the volume sold:
- 50 ml from 200 rubles;
- 500 ml from 1000 rubles;
- 1 liter – 1500 rubles.
On a note!
Analogs of Tsifox are Tetracin, Tsiradon, Fas, Tsipromal, Biotsifen. These drugs are also based on the action of cypermethrin.
In each indicated case, the solution is prepared differently. The dosage and method of preparation are indicated in the instructions for use.

Flaws
Despite the obvious advantages, Cifox also has some disadvantages:
- before use, the product should be properly prepared by diluting it with water in the required proportions;
- it is extremely important to follow the instructions exactly and observe the dosage;
- special attention should be paid to precautionary measures, since Cifox has a fairly high toxicity;

- an unpleasant specific odor that will persist for some time after treatment.
Precautions and side effects
Tsifox against ticks is a moderately toxic drug, and violation of the rules of use can lead to undesirable consequences. Ignoring safety precautions when working with the product can lead to the development of poisoning. It can be identified by the following symptoms:
- Nausea.
- Vomit.
- Dizziness.
- Loss of energy and drowsiness.
- Spasms.
- Profuse salivation.
The presence of these symptoms is a dangerous signal. The person urgently needs to stop treatment with the drug. Remove protective clothing and go out into fresh air. Treat the oral cavity with a weak soda solution and drink plenty of warm water.
It is extremely undesirable for Tsifox to come into contact with mucous membranes. In case of contact with eyes, rinse with plenty of water.

Important!
The use of the product by pregnant women, minor children, and people with hypersensitivity is prohibited. Do not smoke, drink or eat during work.
Tsifoks – Instructions for use
Tsifoks is used only in diluted form. When mixed with water, the drug acquires a milky color. Since oxygen negatively affects the diluted composition, it is not recommended to prepare it in advance. This mixture cannot be stored. This leads to a significant decrease in efficiency.
Depending on the degree of infection, different proportions are used. As a rule, this is indicated on the packaging. For example, for minor contamination, use 1 ml of the drug per 1 liter of water. If it is strong, it is recommended to double the concentration of the drug. This means for 1 liter of water you will need to use 2 ml of product.

Before use, the composition is thoroughly mixed for several minutes. Then the mixture is poured into a spray bottle for convenient and uniform application to the surface.
Storage conditions
To maintain effectiveness and comply with safety precautions, you need to store the drug Cifox correctly:
- The container must be tightly closed with a lid.
- The bottle must be kept separate from food products, medicines and hygiene products.
- The drug should be kept out of reach of children.
- Tsifoks is flammable, so it must be stored away from fire sources and heating devices.
- The bottle of concentrate must have a label with the name and expiration date of the drug.
- The diluted solution is not intended for storage; it must be used within 8 hours after preparation.
How to breed Tsifoks from bedbugs, mosquitoes, fleas
The drug is diluted depending on what parasites you are going to fight.:
- to kill large bedbugs or cockroaches, you need to prepare a 0.2% solution. Here, 6 ml of the drug is used per liter of water;
- treatment for small bugs, ticks or ants should be carried out with a 0.05 percent solution. To do this, 2 ml of the drug is diluted in 1 liter of water;
- mosquitoes, fleas and flies will die from a 0.1 percent solution. Here, 4 ml of product is used per liter of water.
After dilution, it is recommended to let the mixture sit for a few minutes. It is recommended to apply the drug with a sprayer, which has the ability to regulate the spray intensity. In addition to a spray bottle, you can also use a regular brush. After moistening it in the solution, treat smooth surfaces.
The greatest activity of the active ingredients is observed in the first 20 minutes. During this time, more than 80 percent of pests die. The effect of the drug gradually decreases. The product disappears completely after three months. During this time, Tsifox will continue to repel pests trying to return to the premises.

After treatment, 10-12 hours must pass before the room can be used again. Here it is necessary to carry out wet cleaning, wash all treated surfaces with clean water.
Symptoms of poisoning
If the substance from bedbugs Cifox has entered the human body, the following symptoms may be observed:
- vomit;
- headache;
- nausea;
- tremor of the limbs;
- stomach ache;
- large salivation;
- unpleasant taste in the mouth.
If 3 or more symptoms appear, you should definitely call an ambulance. Before doctors arrive, provide first aid yourself.
Fighting cockroaches
It is recommended to pay attention to the main points of combating mustachioed pests:
- If the insects have appeared recently, you can first treat only the places where they accumulate.
- In the fight against cockroaches, the frames of sofas and beds, the joints of baseboards with wallpaper, carpets and furniture walls must be thoroughly treated.
- In case of severe infestation, treat everything where cockroaches can live: the bottom of window sills, chairs, electrical appliances, painting surfaces.
- If the surface to be treated is made of a material that quickly absorbs liquid, it is recommended to increase the volume of the product used.
- Treatment with this product should be carried out with the windows open.
How to prepare your home for insect baiting
First you need to decide on the place where you will need to spray the product in large quantities. Bedbugs know how to hide, but in most cases they choose standard places located in close proximity to the bedroom: in paper and wooden furnishings.
It is necessary to treat the entire area of the room, since bedbugs quickly move from their homes. If there are places on the wall with peeled wallpaper, there is a high probability that insects are there.
Other useful tips:
- You cannot harass if there are children's toys or hygiene items in the room.
- Food is hidden in the refrigerator or put in plastic bags. The dishes are wrapped in cling film and removed from the room being treated.
- If possible, all fabric items are removed and washed at 95 degrees.
- Electrical appliances and furniture are moved to the center of the room to free up wall space and access to baseboards. If possible, all equipment is removed or covered to prevent liquids from coming into contact with electrical parts.
- All contents are removed from the cabinets. It is recommended to disassemble all furniture for thorough processing.
- The room is de-energized because the anti-bedbug solution Tsifoks is sprayed inside the switches and sockets.
Destruction of ants, scabies mites, fleas, bedbugs
The drug shows excellent results in the fight against small parasites. Along with the adults, the larvae and even the eggs die. To combat scabies mites, bedbugs, fleas and ants, it is recommended to use a 0.1 percent solution. After the diluted composition has infused for several minutes, you can begin processing:
- use a regular brush, which is used to treat smooth floor surfaces. The product must also be applied to the wall, to a height of up to 1.5 meters from the floor;
- to treat corners, crevices and other hard-to-reach places, it is recommended to use a large-droplet sprayer;
- to completely get rid of pests, the room should be re-treated after two days;
- The effect of the drug continues for another three weeks after treatment, as evidenced by a specific smell.
Treatment with Tsifoks against flies
Tsifoks is a universal product that can be used not only indoors, but also outdoors. This drug is actively used to combat various types of flies. So, to treat the room it is recommended to use a 0.05 percent solution. In open areas, the product concentrate should be doubled. A 0.5 percent solution is used to treat areas.
To apply the drug, choose the method that is most convenient for you: brush or spray. Apply the product evenly to the surface to be treated. Practice shows that Tsifoks destroys not only flies. The drug kills larvae and eggs, which allows for maximum effectiveness.
Mosquito control
Outdoor recreation on a warm summer evening is often spoiled by annoying mosquitoes. As a rule, attacks by these insects are accompanied by unpleasant itchy bites. Many classical drugs designed specifically to combat these blood-sucking insects turn out to be ineffective. They do not give the desired effect, so a person has to look for newer and more modern options for solving this problem. Rules for use against mosquitoes:
- for a small number of insects, dilute 2 ml of the drug in 1 liter of water;
- The product is suitable for treating trees and summer cottages. At the same time, bees are not afraid of the effect of the product;
- To combat mosquitoes in a summer cottage, ponds and wetlands are thoroughly treated. Here it is recommended to increase the concentration of the drug to 4 ml per 1 liter of water;
- Containers with standing water that is not used for irrigation or other household needs must also be treated;
- the drug is evenly applied to the surface of water or soil using a sprayer;
- when going hiking or fishing, you can spray your clothes with the drug;
- Tsifox not only actively destroys mosquitoes and larvae, but also has a repellent effect for a long time;
- Streams and flowing bodies of water should not be treated. It is prohibited to use the drug for treating bodies of water that are used for swimming.
The secret of success is in the composition
The active component of Cifox 25 is the broad-spectrum insecticide cypermethrin. The total proportion of poison is 25%. Additionally, the composition includes fragrances and emulsifiers. An analogue of the drug is Cypermethrin.
The concentrate is sold in containers of different sizes - 50, 500, 1000 ml. Immediately before use, it is necessary to prepare a solution - add the specified amount of concentrate to cold water and mix. Pour into a spray bottle or spray bottle.
Cypermethrin penetrates the mosquito's body through contact, through the respiratory system. The death of the insect occurs within 20 minutes after contact with the poison. The insecticide disrupts the functioning of the nervous system, causes muscle paralysis and death. The cost of a 50 ml bottle is 400 rubles.
On a note!
Cypermethrin is included in many domestic and foreign mosquito repellents. The drugs differ from each other in the concentration of the active component and fragrances that mask the pungent odor of the insecticide.
Reviews
Irina, Voronezh
I used Tsifox to fight cockroaches at my dacha. I was very pleased with the result. I liked the long lasting effect. The presence of the smell indicated that the product was still working, so the pests would not return. It is also worth noting that, along with cockroaches, mosquitoes and flies have disappeared. Even after I washed the room, insects do not appear in the house. For several months now, nothing has interfered with our family’s summer vacation.
Andrey, Samara
For a long time I was looking for a suitable remedy to finally get rid of cockroaches in the apartment. The drugs I used before were ineffective or only gave a partial effect. A friend who works in a special company that deals with baiting insects recommended Tsifox. She said that their company has been using this product for a long time, and it shows excellent results. I decided to try it too. I did everything according to the instructions, and the cockroaches disappeared. Quite a lot of time has passed, and there are still no insects in the apartment. I was pleased with the result.
Let's sum it up
When choosing this product, it is very important to follow all safety rules. Its effectiveness has been proven and it shows good results. Always remember that there are specialized services that can quickly eliminate the problem, and you will not need to come into contact with the poison.
