Repellent properties
This is a third-generation drug, the chemical composition of which consists of 8 isomers, which differ in their mechanisms of action.
The combination of such components makes it possible to combat both flying and crawling insects. The drug has an insecticidal-acaricidal effect and has a detrimental effect on larvae and adults, affecting the central nervous system. Unfortunately, the drug is powerless against eggs. Cypermethrin is a contact-intestinal insecticide that exhibits its effects instantly. Action of the drug:
- The maximum is when insects die during the first day.
- High – after spraying the product, the effect continues for 4 weeks.
The drug can be used to kill the following insects:
- Bed bugs.
- Cockroaches.
- Bloch.
- Komarov.
- Much.
- Muravyov.
The drug is highly effective in the fight against aphids. These parasites have recently managed to develop immunity to organophosphorus insecticides, and the components of Cypermethrin do not give any chance of survival to both larvae and adults.

Product description
Alpha-cypermethrin is an insectoacaricide that differs from its analogues in its prolonged action. On non-absorbent surfaces, the effect lasts up to 1.5 months. After treatment it does not leave stains on furniture and wallpaper. The smell disappears quickly.
Recommended for use on objects of any purpose (residential, industrial, household, etc.). Thanks to the strongest composition, it ensures the destruction of pests even at the most severe stages of infection. Equally effective on insects of any stage of development.
Composition and release forms
Bedbug repellent Cypermethrin 25 is a yellowish liquid with an intense odor. The concentration of the active substance of the same name in it is 25%. The poison reaches pests through direct contact.
The drug is available in different containers: there are liter and half-liter bottles, as well as small 50 ml bottles. It can be stored for five years, but the insecticide must be protected from the sun.
Russian manufacturers produce several drugs based on Cypermethrin:
- Tetrix. The concentrate containing 25% active substance is mainly used by professional service workers. Available in 1 liter and 50 ml bottles, as well as in five liter canisters.
- Cucaracha is a fairly popular chemical with a twenty percent cypermethrin content.
- Clean Home is available on the market in the form of powders and aerosols, which are widely used.
- Insecticide. This is a whole complex for combating parasites, containing two more components: permethrin and piperonyl butoxide.
- Cifox 25 is a liquid in transparent bottles. Designed to kill bedbugs, ants, cockroaches and some other insects.
- Sichlor containing chlorpyrifos and cypermethrin at a dosage of 10%. Widely used by professionals, practically never found in everyday life.
There are other insecticides that are not so well known: Fagot, Cypertrin, Sipaz Super, Medilis Cyper. Before making a choice, it is worth researching information about these chemicals and reading reviews.
Where to buy and how much does it cost?
Owners of apartments affected by infection often do not know where they can buy the chemical, or how much this poison costs. Until recently, Cypermethrin for bedbugs, which has good reviews, was mainly used by sanitary and epidemiological services. Now the drug itself and analogues of the active component are easy to find on the open market. It is often available in hardware stores, and you can purchase the pesticide on the Internet in a few minutes. Store addresses can be found in any search engine.
You can find complaints online about the high cost of the drug. But this only applies to large bottles that are purchased for industrial use: they actually cost from 1,700 rubles. For an ordinary apartment, a 50 ml bottle of Cypermethrin is enough, the price of which ranges from 140 to 260 rubles.
The effect of cypermethrin on the body of parasites
Bedbug repellents based on cypermethrin have a contact effect. Once in the body of bedbugs, the insecticide blocks the functioning of the central nervous system. As a result, paralysis occurs and harmful insects die. The drug is not transmitted from one parasite to another. Each individual must come into contact with contaminated food or a surface treated with a pesticide. Therefore, it is necessary to properly treat the infected room. Before you start spraying the pesticide, you need to carefully read the instructions.
Cypermethrin does not destroy eggs. Therefore, it is advisable to treat the room again 3 weeks after disinfection. If this is done later, the newly hatched bedbugs will have time to lay new eggs.
Regardless of what form of the drug you choose to treat the room, cypermethrin must be diluted with water. How to do this correctly is indicated in the instructions for the drug. To spray the drug, use special equipment (fog generators, sprinklers) or a paint brush.
Customer Reviews
Nikita, 41
I used Cypermethrin at the dacha and was very pleased with the results. I used it against ants, but I never saw a single insect in the house. A neighbor used it for the Colorado potato beetle and was also pleased, it was fast and very effective.
Olga, 32
I have used a lot of products to get rid of cockroaches. I have small children, so I avoided dangerous insecticides, but I still had to because nothing helped. We moved with the children for a week, during which time we treated them with cypermethrin, got rid of all the Prussians and cleaned all surfaces of insecticide for safety reasons.
Victor, 52
I am pleased with the results of Cypermethrin. He is carrying out pest control at his home, did everything according to the instructions, then just removed the dead Prussians. Two weeks later I repeated the procedure. Got rid of all the cockroaches. Now I really use traps for prevention purposes.
Mechanism of action on bedbugs
The toxic substance is sprayed or applied to surfaces. This allows you to cover a larger area of the object. The procedure is performed using a spray bottle or brush. Depending on this, the degree of effectiveness of the product is determined. So, if a liquid is sprayed with a spray bottle, a large number of poisonous particles enter the air. They are quite heavy, although small, so they settle quickly.
This allows
distribute the substance evenly over the surface. As a result, the poison penetrates into leaks of any size.
If it is not possible to use a spray gun, use a brush. Then the liquid is applied to difficult areas. The mechanism of action in both cases will be the same. In this case, insecticides end up on surfaces on which insects regularly crawl. To kill bedbugs, it is enough to use a contact agent. In this case, the poison will penetrate into the body of the parasites through the chitinous integument.
Some of the poison enters through the spiracles. This happens if the working solution is sprayed while the parasite is crawling across the surface. Then part of the poison will remain on the insect’s shell, and a smaller amount will penetrate through the spiracles. Another dose enters the body through the legs and abdomen, when the parasite makes night attacks on the victim, each time covering the distance from the shelter to the person’s bed.
What are pyrethroids
Cypermethrin for bedbugs is a group of drugs containing a toxic substance that belongs to this class of pyrethroids. This is the name given to synthetic poisons. They are neurotoxic.
This means that the substance has a negative effect on the nervous system of pests. Visualized formula of cypermethrin
The advantage of a substance of this class is its high speed of action. When the insecticide comes into direct contact with the external integument of the pests, almost instantaneous death occurs. However, to obtain this effect, it is necessary to carefully treat the surfaces, comply with the conditions for spraying the substance, and, if possible, ensure that the poison gets into places where bedbugs accumulate.
Pyrethroids are characterized by enteric contact action. This means that they destroy pests by entering the digestive tract or onto the chitinous shell. The first method is not suitable for combating blood-sucking parasites, since they do not consume any food, but suck the blood of warm-blooded creatures. Due to this, any methods based on bait become ineffective.
However,
Despite this, pyrethroids are still considered effective in the fight against bedbugs, since they influence them through the shell.
How do synthetic pyrethroids work?
The mechanism of operation is based on damage to the nervous system. This is achieved by disrupting the transmission of nerve impulses. The required result is achieved due to such a property of the poison as a negative effect on the sodium channels of nerve cells.
As a result, tissue tone increases and the insect loses the ability to move. Because of this, the bug cannot feed or mate.
Substances of the pyrethroid group do not have a systemic effect. Death occurs due to paralysis, as this disrupts the functioning of internal organs. The lower the dose of the poisonous substance, the longer the parasite will remain viable after contact with the poison.
Can insects adapt to pyrethroids?
This is one of the disadvantages of many substances of this class: with regular and long-term use of the same product, the effectiveness of the insecticide decreases. This feature forces the use of poison with some restrictions.
For example, cypermethrin is used simultaneously with drugs of another class (for example, FOS) or alternated with poisons of other brands. The longer the interval between the use of this insecticide, the better.
However
Cypermethrin itself differs from its analogues, since it does not contribute to the development of resistance.
You can enhance the effect of the poison, for which synergistic substances are used. These include piperonyl butoxide; it inactivates enzymes in the body of bedbugs that destroy pyrethroid class insecticides.
What is the difference between pyrethroids and pyrethrins
The first of these products are made on a synthetic basis. They are produced in the likeness of pyrethrins, which are natural substances that exhibit insecticidal activity. For humans, pyrethroids are more dangerous than their plant counterparts. Pyrethrins are made from natural raw materials, such as Dalmatian chamomile.
Form of influence on ticks. Where is it used and what is it special about?
The composition of insectoacaricidal preparations may include cypermethrin in unchanged form, as well as substances based on it (containing one or more isomers of cypermethrin). These include alpha, beta and zeta-cypermethrin. Each of these agents may differ in properties, but as a result, they all contribute to the death of parasites, which is due to a negative effect on the nervous system of ticks.
Alpha-cypermethrin
The substance is part of various insecticidal and acaricidal agents that are used in agriculture. You can purchase such drugs in the form of a concentrated emulsion. The mechanism of action is enteric-contact, based on the ability of the substance to penetrate the pest’s body through the outer shell of the parasite, and at the same time through the digestive system.
When it is planned to destroy blood-sucking mites (clothes and things are treated), in this case the toxic substance affects the pest through the cuticle (outer shell). The poison does not spread through the intestines throughout the body of a blood-sucking tick, since in this case the arachnid creature does not consume anything, only the blood of warm-blooded creatures.
Herbivorous parasites consume such food, receive a dose of poison, and soon die. In addition, in this case the insecticide penetrates through the outer shell when the parasite climbs onto the plant.
Benefits of the substance:
- versatility: it is possible to destroy various types of pests using alpha-cypermethrin;
- prolonged action.
Alpha-cypermethrin
Beta-cypermethrin
This substance contains 4 isomers of cypermethrin. Used in the production of concentrated emulsion. Preparations based on this substance are used in agriculture to destroy various pests, including ticks (blood-sucking, plant-eating). Beta-cypermethrin is a powder without a distinct color and is poorly soluble when mixed with water. To obtain a substance of uniform consistency, organic solvents are used. When in contact with acids or neutral environments, the substance exhibits stability.
This type of substance has no effect on eggs. It is advisable to use it in the fight against parasites that have a piercing-sucking and gnawing apparatus (for example, ticks). The mechanism of action is based on the ability of the substance to influence the rate of flow of sodium ions, while synaptic disturbances are noted in the body of parasites.
Beta-cypermethrin destroys pest eggs
Zeta-cypermethrin
This compound is based on a mixture of enantiomers. It is obtained in the form of a dark liquid. Based on zeta-cypermethrin, concentrated emulsions and granular preparations are produced. They are used in agriculture to kill parasites. Penetrating into the soil, zeta-cypermethrin is quickly destroyed (within 2 weeks).
Preparations based on Zeta-Cypermethrin are used to kill parasites
Types of the drug
Cypermethrin 25 is available in 0.5-1 liter polyethylene containers. Has a wide spectrum of action. It is used to combat all pests of agricultural crops. In homes it is used against bedbugs, cockroaches, ants, fleas and other bloodsuckers. The effect lasts for 1 month. Belongs to hazard class 3.
Zeta-cypermethrin was registered in Russia in 1984 and was used in agriculture to destroy pests of grain crops. It is a pale yellow liquid with a viscous consistency. Contains the following medications:
• Tarzan; • Fury; • Ram; • Newstar; • Kaput; • Magic drops.
Zeta-cypermethrin will be able to cope with bedbugs within 3-5 days after disinfection. It is not addictive and copes with the entire population of bedbugs, including eggs.
Cypermethrin 10 is called Alpha-Cypermethrin. Available in powder form. Approved for use in residential and industrial premises. Destroys all types of insects that can parasitize the house. The solution is prepared according to the instructions. Stir thoroughly for 5 minutes.
How does cypermethrin act on bedbugs, alpha-cypermethrin? The principle of action does not change - it affects the central and peripheral nervous system of insects. Leads to paralysis and death. Belongs to hazard class 2. Does not cause addiction to insects. Effectiveness was observed within 7-10 days after disinfection.
To enhance the effect of cypermethrin, this substance is supplemented with other insecticides. The combination with chlorpyrifos and permethrin worked well.
What means are used in Russia?
As we promised, we are talking about insecticidal products that contain the effective pyrethroid cypepermethrin in their composition. The first list is commercial products used in Russia, the second is in the USA. If someone wants to purchase drugs that are used against bedbugs by Americans, it is better to purchase them on American online trading platforms.
Toxicity of the drug
Cypermethrin is highly toxic to insects. Dangerous for fish and crayfish. It is considered low-hazard for animals and birds. Toxicity for humans is noted at an average level. This means that when using it, you will need personal protective equipment and a special suit.
The aquarium with fish will have to be covered during disinfection, and pets will have to be taken outside. Although manufacturers claim that there is no effect on cats. The antiparasitic drug will not harm the animal even if ingested.
On a note! The substance is used in many products against fleas and other harmful insects in cats. It is also added to toilet filler.
When processing wool, all insects that were on it die. Cypermethrin is well retained and acts for a long time - about 2 weeks. It is quickly eliminated from the animal's body. Does not linger in the environment. In water it turns into a white emulsion and loses its properties over time.
However, it should be remembered that the substance is poisonous and if a large amount enters the body, it can lead to poisoning and death. You shouldn't neglect your health. You need to follow the instructions.
Cypermethrin 25 ke cypermethrin chlorpyrifos

Security measures
Treatment with Alphacypermethrin against bedbugs should be carried out wearing protective clothing: a suit, gloves. Hands should be completely covered. It is also necessary to wear glasses and a gauze bandage, since the toxic fumes of Cypermethrin can cause respiratory diseases. Family members and pets must be taken to a safe place. Even plants that are taken out to the balcony or other room need protection.
After bullying, clothes are thoroughly washed or thrown away, the face and hands are washed with soap. Security measures cannot be neglected. This can lead to severe toxic poisoning, symptoms of which include gait disturbance, drooling and even convulsions.
Pros and cons of the product
If you look at how this chemical acts on bedbugs, it can be called quite effective. Cypermethrin has other advantages:
- The poison actively affects a variety of pests that interfere with a person’s life.
- Cypermethrin is inexpensive, comes in different forms and is easy to use.
- The drug is not afraid of an acidic environment and is easily washed off after treatment.
- It is believed that, unlike many other poisons, Alphacypermethrin does not contribute to the development of blood-sucking resistance to the active component.
Still, this poison cannot be called perfect. The disadvantage is the specific smell, which can be dangerous for allergy sufferers. In addition, one treatment is not enough: after a month you will have to repeat the unpleasant procedure.
Finally, a serious disadvantage is the toxicity of the drug. Although Cypermethrin is not the most dangerous poison, it is advisable that the exterminator has some experience.
Can insects adapt to pyrethroids?
Some insects have evolved the ability to produce an enzyme that allows them to resist the insecticides of the peritroid series. Moreover, scientists have noticed an interesting phenomenon - some insects, for example, bedbugs and cockroaches, are capable of transmitting such resistance from generation to generation. Thus, today most pyrethroids are becoming insufficiently effective against parasites.
To combat this situation, researchers have proposed piperonyl butoxide as a chemical that prevents insects from producing an enzyme that allows them to be resistant to pyrethroids. Regarding cypermethrin, it is worth noting that bedbugs have not yet developed resistance to it, however, it is observed quite actively in cockroaches.
Scope of use
Cypermethrin has many positive qualities, so it is used in various fields. In each case, a certain dosage and consumption rate are required. In agriculture, the drug is used to protect vegetables, legumes and cereals. Fruit-bearing bushes and trees are also treated with this product.
The insecticide is aimed at destroying various insect pests :
- aphids;
- moths;
- caterpillars;
- fleas;
- flower beetles;
- leaf roller;
- codling moths;
- drinkers;
- Colorado beetles.
The drug has also proven itself in forestry. It is used for aerial spraying over plantings of deciduous and coniferous trees, which are often affected by gnawing insects.
Treatment is carried out by spraying from a sprayer with adjustable droplet size in the stream
At home, bedbugs, cockroaches or fleas often appear, which can also be gotten rid of with Cypermethrin. The product is suitable for disinsection of city apartments, private houses, industrial buildings, hospitals and hospices.
Working solution
After studying the instructions, Cypermethrin is diluted in water in the required proportions. Although the drug is low-toxic, work with it must be carried out using personal protective equipment.
Cypermethrin for bedbugs is used to prepare a solution with a concentration of 0.05%. 5 ml of emulsion is diluted in 1 liter of water at room temperature. Per square meter of treated area you will need 50-100 ml of solution. The volume of product used depends on the absorbent properties of the surface material. The insecticide is sprayed with a spray bottle or sprayed with a paint brush.
Composition against other pests:
- For fleas: a 0.1% solution is sprayed on the floor, walls and baseboards.
- Against mosquitoes: a working emulsion of 0.01% is sprayed onto areas where parasites are concentrated, which usually inhabit garbage cans, outside walls of houses and damp places.
- From ants: the composition of 0.01% is distributed along “ant” paths and other areas with pests.
- For cockroaches: a 0.1% solution is used to treat not only the main areas of the house, but also pipes and ventilation shafts.
- Against ticks: Cypermethrin is diluted to a concentration of 0.05%. Per square meter you will need 50 ml of working emulsion. The room is treated completely, not forgetting about heating appliances, thermal communications and furniture. Repeated treatment is carried out after a week.
Wasps and hornets can settle in planted areas and near garbage cans. Insects are lured with sweet fruits, and then a 0.1% composition is sprayed on them. 100-150 ml of product are used per square meter. After possible rain, the treatment is repeated. This procedure should only be performed by experienced people. Beginners are advised to consult a specialist, since wasps can attack in a swarm.
Rules for disinfestation of premises
Cypermethrin must be used strictly according to the instructions. First, you should take into account the area of the territory that will need to be treated and calculate the dosage of the drug. The types of insects and environmental conditions in which the solution will be used play an important role.
The room must be isolated from children and animals. The room is cleared of food, dishes, personal hygiene items, aquariums and terrariums. All windows in the room should be open so that it is well ventilated.
When working with the product, you need to wear protective clothing , a respiratory mask, special glasses and a headdress (scarf or plastic cap). The solution is prepared in the proportions recommended by the manufacturer. It is prohibited to exceed the dosage.
The use of cypermethrin will be successful only if the pest concentration areas are known
It is necessary to treat not only those areas where insects are currently located, but also places in which they can hide. It is recommended to spray other surfaces with the product, as pests may migrate after applying the solution.
After the work is completed, leave the room, leaving it to ventilate for 2-3 hours. Then the room is cleared of dead parasites and wet cleaning is carried out using a soap solution with soda.
You can return things to the room and use it again for its intended purpose after cleaning. Children, pregnant women, the elderly and people prone to allergies are advised to go there every other day.
How to kill bedbugs?
Medilis Anticlops
The Medilis Antiklop anti-bedbug product is available in the form of a ready-to-use spray. It contains three insecticides belonging to hazard class 3-4:
- permethrin;
- its two synthetic analogues are cypermethrin and tetramethrin.
The components of Antiklop are contact insecticides. They actively penetrate through the chitinous cover into the body of the bedbug, blocking ion channels in the membranes of nerve cells, changing its polarization and, thereby, blocking the transmission of nerve impulses to the fibers of muscle tissue of all organs of the insect. The drug has an instant (“knockdown effect”) paralyzing effect on the pest.
Reviews about Medilis Antiklop are mostly positive, which indicates the high effectiveness of the product. The only drawback reported by consumers is the unpleasant odor that lingers for a long time, especially on absorbent surfaces.
Medilis Anticlops
Instructions for use of Medilis Antiklop, located on the back of each bottle, describe in detail the algorithm of actions when treating the room:
- prepare rooms for disinfestation - move furniture away from the walls, remove carpets and textiles, remove pets from the apartment, remove aquariums, bird cages, personal hygiene items, food, cutlery;
- carry out wet cleaning;
- close windows and doors tightly, preventing drafts;
- placing the pump nozzle on the bottle at a distance of 10-15 cm from the surface to be treated, spray the product on the back of the furniture, paintings, carefully treat the fastening points, legs of the bed, sofa and other furniture - the surface to be treated should be damp;
- using a spray bottle on a bottle, treat joints, seams, baseboards, floors and walls, starting from the far wall and moving towards the exit from the apartment;
- to create a barrier against the penetration of bedbugs into the apartment, it is necessary to treat the window slopes, the bottom of the window sills, the door frame and ventilation grilles;
- leave the room for 2-3 hours;
- after this time, open windows and doors for ventilation for 30 minutes;
- wash contact surfaces with soap and soda solution;
- It is not recommended to wet treat areas where bedbugs accumulate for 2-3 days.
The Medilis Cyper solution for bedbugs is prepared in the following concentration:
- with a small number of insects, the proportion is 5 ml of the drug per 1 liter of water;
- if there are a lot of bedbugs, the concentration should be increased to 5 ml per 1 liter of water.
You need to spray the solution not only on the obvious habitats of insects, but also on crevices and hard-to-reach places
Particular attention should be paid to the details of the beds, and mattresses, if possible, should be replaced with new ones. If this is not possible, they are carefully processed and then dried in the sun for several hours. Consumption rate – 50 ml per square meter of treated surface
Consumption rate – 50 ml for each square meter of treated surface.
After treatment with Medilis Cyper against bedbugs, you need to ventilate the room. You can stay in it no earlier than 12 hours after disinfestation. All surfaces that people will come into contact with are wiped with a solution of soap, water and soda.
It is not recommended to spray vegetable beds and berry bushes with insecticides during the fruit ripening period. It is strictly forbidden to treat children's playgrounds and sandboxes with the drug.
Rules to follow when diluting the drug
To achieve the desired effect, when diluting cypermethrin you need to follow 3 rules.
- Depending on the degree of infection of the room, the concentration of the drug changes. If to prevent the appearance of bedbugs or to treat small infected premises, it is enough to take 3 g of insecticide per 1 liter of water, then when treating premises where the degree of infection is high, we double the concentration.
- The drug must be diluted immediately before use. The working solution retains its properties for 8 hours. After this time, there is no point in using the drug.
- The containers that were used to dilute the pesticide should be thrown away. Wear a respirator and rubber gloves when working with insecticide.
Instructions for use of Cypermethrin against bedbugs
To use it, the product must be diluted with water. How to dilute and in what proportion is indicated in the attached instructions, and also depends on the number of insects in the room. As standard, 25 ml of the substance and 1.5 liters of water are mixed, stirring thoroughly for 5 minutes until completely dissolved. It’s better to take a container that you don’t mind throwing away after use.
Attention!
When preparing the mixture, it should be taken into account that the finished solution can only be stored for 8 hours. Usually 50 ml is enough to treat a large apartment.
Cypermethrin for bedbugs
How to use Cypermethrin: the prepared solution is applied with a paint brush or placed in a spray bottle. Treat all places where bedbugs may accumulate: beds and sofas, baseboards around the entire perimeter of the room, cracks, corners. When spraying, the container must be held at arm's length so that the product does not fall on a person.
Repeated treatment is carried out after 3-4 weeks to destroy the larvae and young bedbugs hatched from eggs.
Delcid
To eliminate cockroaches in an apartment, the oily liquid Delcid, sold in ampoules, is suitable. One dose will mix 2 ml of emulsion.
The composition contains the insecticide deltamethrin, which, like cypermethrin, belongs to the second generation pyrethroids. The substance blocks the neuromuscular impulses of insects, making it difficult to breathe and swallow food. Under the influence of poison, pests cannot move and die.
Auxiliary components of the emulsion are:
- neonol;
- twin;
- nefras.
To prepare the solution, open the ampoule and pour the contents into 800 ml of water. Stir the liquid for 15-20 minutes.
In reviews, people write that they get scared when the composition turns white and becomes milky. This doesn't mean it's damaged. This is how the chemical reaction occurs when deltamethrin comes into contact with water.
For 1 square meter of area, 25-50 ml of solution is required. Place it in a spray bottle and use it for pest control.
How to properly prepare a room for processing
Before carrying out pest control in an apartment, it must be properly prepared.
To do this you need:
- do wet cleaning;
- remove curtains and bed linen;
- remove all personal belongings, food and hygiene items from the premises;
- Pack clothes and toys in bags and put them in a closet;
- move all furniture away from the walls to the middle of the room;
- remove (or cover) electronics and household appliances;
- raise mattresses;
- It is good to dry blankets and pillows in the sun or freeze them outside in winter.
Spray the drug in door and window openings, near baseboards, behind radiators. All upholstered furniture is carefully processed from all sides.
Spray the backs of cabinets and cabinets, floors, cracks and vents.
Preparation for the procedure
Crawling insects live in hidden places, so they are not visible during the day. When there is a strong infestation, there are a lot of cockroaches, and they crawl out of their nests during the daytime, which makes it easier to find habitats. If the pests have not had time to multiply, you won’t have to look for their shelter; just move all the furniture and large household appliances away from the walls. It is important to provide access to baseboards and the backs of cabinets. Then it will be possible to treat the room better.
Furniture must be cleared of dishes and food stored inside. Cockroaches are more likely to appear where there is a lot of shelter. Accordingly, the more things are stored in the apartment, the higher the likelihood that insects will come here one day. During processing, food and utensils must be removed from the premises. In the case where you plan to process the entire object at once, you can hermetically pack things with polyethylene.
It is advisable to perform a general cleaning of the premises, which will allow you to detect insect nests and remove their food sources. If this is not done, over time other insects will come to unsanitary conditions. This means that it is better to fight cockroaches using comprehensive methods. Brief instructions:
- You need to wash the floor, removing crumbs, greasy stains - any sources of insect food.
- Tables are wiped, dishes are washed.
- You cannot store ready-made meals, products, fruits and vegetables in the public domain.
- You cannot leave dishes in the sink; it is better to wash them after each meal.
- It is recommended to fill gaps in the floor, behind baseboards, and where sewer and water pipes enter.
- It is important to block cockroaches' access to water. They won't live long without fluid. Pay attention to leaking taps. The sink and bathtub should be wiped dry before going to bed. There is no need to leave water in cups.
Next, prepare the working solution. The drug Cypermethrin is diluted with water. However, you need to take into account that the liquid cannot be stored in its finished form for a long time, so it is not recommended to mix a large amount of the product at once. It is better to act gradually; in addition, it is impossible to predict how much of the substance will be needed to treat various pieces of furniture and premises. Cypermethrin is diluted with water in different ratios, it all depends on the type of insects being fought against.
So, if you need to destroy cockroaches, prepare a solution with a concentration of 0.1%. It is better to dilute the product in water at room temperature, since in this case the intensity of the odor will be less. The product consumption varies between 50-100 ml/m², which depends on the type of materials being processed. If the substance is sprayed over tiles and other hard surfaces, it is enough to use 50 ml per 1 m². To cover soft materials (plywood, wood), you will have to use more solution - 100 ml/m².
How does the drug affect the human body?
Preparations based on Cypermethrin belong to substances of toxicity classes 2 and 3. Class 2 pyrethroids in case of poisoning can cause a number of negative consequences, such as:
- Profuse salivation.
- Dysfunction of the musculoskeletal system.
- Limb spasms are possible.
- Slowing reactions.
- Choreatosis.
Necessarily! During processing, it is necessary to take measures to protect the skin, eyes and respiratory tract from the smallest particles of this substance. Upon completion of the treatment process, wash your hands and face thoroughly with soap and water, and wash protective clothing or throw it away if it is no longer needed. Failure to comply with safety measures can lead to poisoning, and subsequently, to the development of dangerous symptoms.
Safety of using cypermethrin in rooms with children and pets
If children and pets live in the house, cypermethrin-based preparations can be used, but with even greater caution. It is not recommended to use such products in rooms where children under 12 years of age sleep or spend a lot of time. Babies are especially vulnerable, as they want to taste everything. Such curiosity, although driven by the desire to explore the world, is dangerous when using insecticides indoors, even after thorough cleaning. If there is a need to treat an apartment with cypermettin, then it is better for the child to spend several weeks with relatives or family friends.
According to research, even small traces of cypermethrin can enter the child’s body. In most cases, the drug is eliminated without causing any harm, but increased concentrations of cypermethrin metabolites in tests correlated with problems in the perception of oral speech in children. The mechanism of this effect has not been studied, and the results may be due to statistical error.
Animals can cause a lot of problems in this matter. Often it is dogs and cats that bring fleas, ticks and bedbugs into the house, and therefore individual treatment of the pet with special means is necessary.
Symptoms of poisoning
Insecticide poisoning manifests itself as follows:
- increased salivation,
- impaired coordination of movements,
- convulsions,
- headache,
- nausea,
- general lethargy.
If at least one of the symptoms appears, follow these steps:
- Stop processing immediately.
- Change your clothes.
- Rinse your mouth with a baking soda solution and take 15 tablets of activated carbon.
- Get out into the fresh air and call an ambulance.
Despite the declared (relative) safety, cypermethrin remains a very powerful insecticide. Therefore, it is necessary to strictly follow the instructions and take precautions.
