With the arrival of spring, not only will there be more greenery, flowers and sunshine, but the number of insects will also increase. The most dangerous of them, especially in the spring, are ticks. They live in the grass and wait for the victim to come to them. If the insect is healthy, you can get away with a slight fright, but if the tick is a carrier of Lyme disease or encephalitis, the matter may end in hospitalization. You can protect yourself from these unpleasant parasites in every sense with the help of Dr. Klaus (Doctor Klaus) against ticks, ants and other insects.
Tips and tricks
All products against aphids and insects are used exclusively in their cooled form.
To treat small trees and bushes, it is advisable to use a spray bottle. Before starting work, it is advisable to filter the solution and rinse the garden sprayer. If large particles get inside the mechanism, failure is possible. To clean tomatoes, eggplants and other small plants from pests, all you need is a small broom that needs to be dipped in the prepared solution. This method is convenient for spraying low-growing fruit crops.
In addition, a mixture of 4 pieces of ground soap and warm water will be a good remedy against ants. Then add carbolic acid and a little kerosene to the bucket. As a result, the insects will quickly disappear. This tool makes it possible to get rid of ants on the site in an extremely short time.
Mode of application
Dr.Klaus anti-tick concentrate is very easy to use:
- Shake the bottle with the product thoroughly so that its components are thoroughly mixed;
- Protect your hands and face with protective clothing;
- Prepare a solution directly in the sprayer at the rate of 100 ml of insecticide per 500 ml of water;
- treat the soil surface evenly.
It is recommended to exterminate ticks on the site twice a year - in spring and autumn, during the period of their greatest activity.
Ants and other types of pests are eliminated along the way, but additional treatment can be carried out in the summer to destroy them.
Advantages and disadvantages
The use of the product has a number of advantages:
- reasonable cost;
- efficiency and speed;
- Ease of use;
- efficiency;
- harmless after ventilation;
- extermination of household and garden pests;
- prolonged action.
The drug is effective against most domestic blood-sucking insects: fleas, skin beetles, bedbugs. Parasites die 10–15 minutes after contact with the drug or treated surface. A big plus of having an ejector is that there is no need to manually mix the product with water.
A small disadvantage of using the product on the site is the exposure time. After treatment, you should not walk barefoot, lie down, or walk pets on the treated soil and grass for five days.
Why are garden ants dangerous?
The experience of summer residents shows that the ant is one of the most resilient insects. Not all methods of control turn out to be truly effective - it is worth preparing for the fact that after the first treatment the colony, although it will suffer losses, will not leave the area.
Moreover, in a biological sense, ants are an extremely interesting insect. They are characterized by a kind of “livestock keeping” - as “cows” they contain aphids, which are also a pest for green spaces. They “graze” their livestock, protecting them from insects that feed on aphids, and even “milk” them - they rub their paws against the abdomen of the aphids, which in turn secretes a substance that the ants drink with pleasure. This symbiosis can have a truly destructive effect on green spaces and crops growing in the country.
It is important to know! It is necessary to differentiate forest ants from garden ants - we were taught from childhood that the former are forest orderlies - and they really have a positive impact on the environment by eating carrion. Garden ants are considered pests that breed aphids
In addition to red soil ants, you can find brown, turf, and red-cheeked ants on your plots - the listed representatives are 100% pests; in the absence of measures to eliminate them, ants are capable of destroying crops in a relatively short period of time.
Repellent for wasps, flies and other insects around the house Dr.Klaus - review
Good day everyone,
I think many owners of summer cottages and private houses are familiar with the summer problem - you can’t go out for a walk during the day because of the heat, and in the evening mosquitoes are brought back into the house.
You can, of course, before each “going out”, smear yourself (spray yourself) with repellents, then periodically renew this, then thoroughly wash yourself and wash your clothes.
You can also light a coil and drag it along with you, inhaling smoke throughout your walk, the effectiveness of which is variable and depends on the wind and other factors. You can also buy mosquito repellent lamps, ultrasonic devices and...
Disappointed with the useless waste of money, put it in the trash.
In addition to problems such as itching and blisters, mosquito bites can cause serious allergic reactions. Mosquitoes are carriers of a number of diseases.
It has been proven that there are people who are especially appetizing to mosquitoes. Unfortunately, I am one of those people.
Mosquitoes fly after me in a swarm, and the bites cause such itching that I scratch myself all over until there are bloody sores, combs, forks and even knives are used, at the moment of scratching I can no longer control myself. And the mosquito ringing is this “bzzzzzz”, the worst sound on Earth. All my life I was accompanied by the dream of a world without mosquitoes, as soon as late spring arrived.
We have a private house in the city center, but in the swampy area there are a lot of mosquitoes.
The choice fell... no, in fact, it didn’t fall at all, but it was simply the only product of this profile on sale:
Product Information:
So, let's get down to business
The treatment is carried out as follows: a hose is connected to the bottle through an adapter at one end, spraying occurs at the other end, it is necessary to treat the entire area, paying special attention to the mosquito’s favorite places - where there is warmth, shade and moisture. Without sparing, the husband treated both the foundation of the house and the barn
The handling is really convenient, just like it says on the package.
Directions for use (from the manufacturer's website)
In general, when using the product, you get a pleasant feeling of a well-made product, one that you “trust.” The bottle capacity is 1 liter, the processing standards are as follows:
We targeted exclusively mosquitoes, so about a third of the bottle should have been used for an area of 6 acres. Our special bounty left us with almost a whole bottle.
Precautions are listed on the packaging:
They can be summarized as follows:
— Treat the area, not yourself
— On the first day, people and animals sit at home and don’t go into the area
– Within a week, keep hands (and other bare parts of the body) away from anything that has been treated
- Don't spray on everything you can eat. But you and I understand.
It is recommended to treat the area as the insects return.
The result is that the mosquitoes left, came back a day later, and then disappeared, and for several weeks now they haven’t shown any sign of us.
The neighbors still have mosquitoes (which suggests that the product is not a super chemical weapon), but they don’t fly over the fence - they know ours. We walk quietly, our baby is not walking yet, so we are not afraid that he will eat some toxic treat.
Evening life is in full swing, I am in my paradise without mosquitoes. I am happy that we took advantage of such an achievement of civilization.
The flies remained, but this was to be expected - they used the wrong dosage. We didn't have any wasps.
We bought the product in the OBI market, the cost is about 600 rubles / 1 liter.
Information about the drug
The repellent for flies and other insects consists of thiamethoxam DV, attractant Z-9 tricosene, surfactants and other fillers that were needed to give the appropriate form.
You can purchase this drug in a laminated bag or aluminum foil. It is available in 400 or 1000 g packaging. This product can be used for 3 years. The prepared solution can be stored for no more than 6 hours. Agita is a universal remedy and can be used to combat wasps, mosquitoes, fleas and other insects. Within 24 hours after treating the surface, no trace of insects will remain, and the effect will last 1-2 months, sometimes longer.
This product is proven and beyond doubt. The drug Agita is a certified product that is manufactured in accordance with GOST. It is classified into the fourth class of low hazardous substances. Evaporation does not cause harm to the body, since it has a very low toxic threshold.
Inhalation of vapors is not dangerous to humans, but has a detrimental effect on insects.
You can fight flies in various ways. This drug is diluted in the required concentration and then sprayed or used dry granules. To drive out flies once and for all, you need to use a 5.6% solution to apply to the surface or spray a 1.1% solution. For preparation you will need ordinary water. Apply the aqueous solution with a brush. You can use ordinary dry granules placed in special places that can attract flies.
The product should be applied where insects most often live: warm, sunny places (windows, garbage dumps and other places where garbage accumulates). You cannot treat furniture with this solution, but you can apply it to paper or a rag, which will then be attached to the required surface. To obtain a solution, you should take the required amount of granules and dilute them in water. The solution must be warm.
There is no need to completely treat the bait area, you just need to apply it pointwise (10 by 30 cm). Approximately 3% of the entire surface of the room needs to be treated. Per 100 cu. We need to make 30 such spots. Use dry granular bait, which is applied to the favorite places of flies.
Bait devices can be placed in areas where food is prepared and where animals live. This is where insects live most often. For a room of 10 square meters you need to take from 3 to 5 baits from 0.5 to 2 g. For greater efficiency, add a couple of drops of water to the granules.
Do not use this method in rooms where food is consumed, as flies can fall into the dishes and infect them. If the “irrigation” processing method is used, then you need to be firmly convinced that the resulting suspension is homogeneous. To do this, you need to take the required amount of granules, add warm water in the recommended amount and shake the resulting mixture well. If treated with a solution, it is necessary to irrigate about 30% of the surfaces of the total area of the room.
For your own hygiene, you need to constantly remove dead or paralyzed flies at regular intervals.

Destruction of aphids
Tar soap is an excellent remedy against ants. It copes well with insect pests. In addition, you can combine the product with various natural and chemical additives. The effectiveness of the solution will increase significantly. Below we list the most popular recipes.
Tomato tops and soap
In order to effectively get rid of ants and aphids, the solution can be prepared in a bucket. It is good to add 4 kilograms of tomato trunks and leaves and pour 10 liters of clean water.

Itching from mosquito bites can be relieved by rubbing the bite site with ammonia (a mixture of equal amounts of ammonia and water) or a solution of baking soda (1/2 teaspoon per 1 glass of water). 17. Bedbugs. To combat bedbugs, use a product consisting of a mixture of 10 g of naphthalene and 100 g of well-dried and powdered chrysanthemum leaves or chamomile flowers and leaves. 18.

Grinder bug. To protect against the grinder bug, furniture should be inspected at least 1-2 times a year, especially its lower part. It is recommended to wipe unvarnished and unpainted areas with a rag lightly moistened with petroleum jelly or a mixture of three parts turpentine and one part kerosene; You can also use a solution of naphthalene in gasoline. 24. If holes with a diameter of about 2 mm and yellowish dust appear on the surface of the furniture, this is a sure sign of the appearance of a grinder bug. Vaseline oil is most convenient for treating furniture already infested with beetles. It is introduced into the holes made by the bug, filling them to the brim, then the holes are covered with paraffin or putty. After 2-3 weeks the operation is repeated. If no new holes appear within a month, you can stop fighting the bug.
