"Cypermethrin" is an effective drug with a wide spectrum of action. The material contains the purpose, composition, mechanism of action, regulations for use, restrictions, analogues, etc.
Origin
The drug cypermethrin belongs to the group of pyrethroid insecticides. They originate from plants of the genus pyrethrum (Pyrethrum spp.), well known to flower growers as Dalmatian chamomile, pink pyrethrum, maiden pyrethrum, etc., see figure. Even in ancient times, it was noticed that bedbugs, fleas and cockroaches are reluctant to settle indoors , hung with bunches of dry pyrethrum, and ixodid ticks are never found on Dalmatian chamomile.
Pyrethrum plants
In the 19th century The substances pyrethrins, “responsible” for scaring away unwanted cohabitants, were isolated from pyrethrums. However, they turned out, firstly, to be more of a repellent - they repelled pests rather than destroyed them. Secondly, pyrethrins quickly decomposed in light and air. In the 70s of the last century, based on pyrethroids, synthetic extremely powerful insecticides and pyrethroid acaricides, resistant to oxidation by atmospheric oxygen and the action of light, were obtained.
Purpose and application
The drug "Cypermethrin" is used both independently and in mixtures with other active ingredients.
Areas of use:
a) rural and personal household plots to combat insect pests :
- grapes (leaf rollers);
- potatoes (Colorado beetle, potato ladybird);

- cabbage and leafy greens (leaf-eating caterpillars);
- apple trees, pears (codling moth, leaf rollers);
- currants (aphids, moths, leaf rollers, sawflies)
b) protection from pests of agricultural crops and stocks (cereal aphids, thrips, pest bugs, ants, ground beetles, stem flies, flax flea beetles, meadow moths, etc.);
c) medical and veterinary practice (ixodid ticks, etc.);
d) sanitary and household disinsection of premises for the destruction of flightless synanthropic insects (fleas, cockroaches, bed bugs) and for treating fly landing sites.
The effect of the drug applies to both larvae and adult insects.
Neutralization and removal when working in open stations

Impact on humans
The insecticide has a harmful effect only on insects and cold-blooded creatures. But any drug of low toxicity is poisonous for people.
If the room is poorly ventilated during processing, the person in it may become poisoned. At the same time, his coordination of movements is impaired, salivation increases, convulsions, absent-minded attention and slowness are observed. The poisoned person may not react to light.
Children, pregnant and lactating women should not handle this drug. It is not recommended to use the insecticide for people who have skin diseases or hypersensitivity to chemicals.
Cypermethrin in high concentrations can be hazardous to health.
You can protect yourself from side effects only if you take precautions. Protective clothing and accessories should not be neglected. While preparing and spraying the emulsion, do not eat or drink, or smoke. After treating the room with Cypermethrin, clothes should be washed in hot liquid. Hands should be washed with soap and mouth should be rinsed with clean water.
First aid for poisoning
If you plan to clean the premises with Cypermethrin, there should be a first aid kit with the necessary medications nearby. If safety precautions are not followed when working with an insecticide, a person may develop signs of poisoning in the form of weakness, bad taste in the mouth, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain.
If the respiratory tract of the poisoned person is affected, it is necessary to quickly take him out into fresh air, remove his working equipment, and rinse his mouth and nose with a solution of baking soda.
If a person accidentally swallows the solution, he should drink 1-2 glasses of water with activated carbon diluted in it. One glass will require 10-15 tablets.
If the product accidentally gets into your eyes, you should immediately rinse them with running water or a soda solution. Sometimes the mucous membrane of the eye is affected. In this case, a sodium sulfacyl solution is instilled behind the eyelid.

Advantages and disadvantages of application
Advantages of using the drug "Cypermethrin 25, EC"
- Application in various fields of human activity against a wide range of insect pests.
- The drug is not phytotoxic and does not cause plant inhibition.
- High speed of initial impact.
- The fumigant activity of the drug makes it possible to repel many types of insects, which enhances the effect of Cypermentrin.
- Well suppresses populations of insect pests (aphids, whiteflies, cockroaches, etc.) that are resistant to organophosphorus insecticides.
- The action of the drug does not depend on high temperatures and ultraviolet radiation.
- Efficiency has been repeatedly proven by practical application.
Recommendations for use
Since the drug is effective, capable of clearing parasites from a living space in a short time, it has certainly become popular among consumers. Its advantages include a prolonged action, which allows you to exterminate young individuals that emerged from the offspring laid by cockroaches. This active substance has been used for quite a long time and it is successfully used by specialized services for carrying out disinfestation in premises of this type.
Another advantage is its versatility, which allows you to get rid of most insects and pests. Preparations from other manufacturers that are based on the same active substance are no less popular and show good results. But as practice shows, there are no ideal means, so you should always take into account the shortcomings.
Regarding such drawbacks as toxicity and danger to humans and pets, you need to be especially careful. It is advisable to move from the premises during treatment in order to carry out a complete disinfestation of the entire apartment. If this is not possible, you need to be very careful. Do not use the substance without protective equipment, ventilate the room well, and carry out thorough wet cleaning.
It is necessary that the insecticide remains in hard-to-reach places, for example, behind cabinets, on pipes, on baseboards, under a gas stove. This is quite enough for the destruction of the entire Prussian colony.
There is another drawback, it lies in the fact that the poison does not affect egg laying, which means that soon a new generation of young individuals will definitely appear in the room. Therefore, it is simply impossible to avoid a repeat procedure. Since the pesticide eliminates the possibility of addiction in insects, its use will help get rid of young Prussians.
Remember that preventive measures are very important to minimize the possibility of new insects appearing. Quite often, pest control brings the desired result, but after a while we see cockroaches appear again in the room. This may be due to the fact that the neighbors’ premises are also contaminated and their “tenants” are running around the entire multi-storey building. The most effective treatment is carried out jointly with neighbors.
If this is not possible, then you will have to protect your home. Now you can purchase a variety of products that are used for prevention purposes. Traditional methods will also help, most of which are based on repelling parasites. And of course, cleanliness in the room is very important.
