Description of the drug

"Phenaxin" is a product produced in powder form. It contains fenvaperate and boric acid. These are the leading components that cause death in pests.

ATTENTION. Do not confuse "Phenaxin" and "Phenaxin plus"

Both drugs are manufactured and used in the agricultural sector to exterminate mole crickets.

"Phenaxin" has a number of advantages:

Does not cause harm to people or pets when used correctly.
Does not cause a bad odor.
Moderate price (40-45 rubles per 100 g).
Easy to use.
Long period of validity (1 month).

The drug also has some disadvantages:

Does not have a harmful effect on cockroach eggs.
It has a positive effect only with a small number of parasites in the room.
May be addictive to cockroaches, so continuous use is not recommended.
Kills insects only upon direct contact.
Cannot be used in hard-to-reach places.
Cannot be used for disinsection of furniture and clothing.

Mechanism of action

The action of phenaxin is similar to most insecticides. After the treatment is completed, cockroaches move along the surface and come into contact with the substance. As a result of contact, particles of the drug remain on the insect. Next, a pesticide begins to act, which affects the nervous system, which leads to paralysis and then death. The period from infection to death of the cockroach completely depends on the dose of the pesticide. The result will be noticeable within the first hour, but complete destruction of the colony occurs within 1-2 weeks, much depends on the degree of contamination of the room.

This remedy has a detrimental effect only on adult individuals, the larvae remain untouched. Therefore, repeated treatment will be required, which will help get rid of all the young individuals.

Composition and content of Dust

Preparations in this form are produced on the basis of various insecticides.
The most commonly used are pyrethroids. They exhibit enteric contact effects. However, against bedbugs, effectiveness is ensured only if the parasite crawls across the treated surface. The powder cannot enter the digestive tract of these insects, which means that the intestinal effect does not occur in this case. Bedbugs only consume the blood of warm-blooded creatures. The principle of action is based on damage to the nervous system of insects. When particles of a toxic substance fall on the cuticle of the parasite, this violates its integrity. As a result, the poison penetrates the body faster. In addition, injured areas allow fluid to drain away, which can lead to dehydration. This effect is ensured provided that the powder contains sufficiently hard particles, for example, boric acid.

Bug sprinkled with dust

Instructions for use

Before using dust from bedbugs, you need to find out how treating the room in this case is fundamentally different from spraying liquid products. Instructions for use:

The room needs to be prepared. If in the case of aerosols and concentrated liquids it is necessary to perform wet cleaning, then the use of powder does not require this. It is enough to remove the debris and find nests (at least some). Sometimes you need to dry surfaces.
Prepare protective equipment.
When for various reasons it is not possible to use the powder, the product can be diluted with water. But the drug will not help if the solution is too weak. When using powder, you need to study the label, because not all products in this form can be mixed with water.
They are processing the housing. The powder is scattered where bedbugs may be located.
There is no need to ventilate the room, as is done with aerosols and sprays.
Cleaning after treatment cannot be carried out. Wait several days/weeks (depending on the composition and properties of the insecticides, since they act for different periods).

Detection of parasite nests

Instructions for use

The procedure for carrying out disinsection treatment of premises is regulated by the instructions. The bag of powder is pierced in the places indicated on the package. The powder is poured through the punctures into the habitats of the parasites. The procedure for processing the premises is as follows:

Before using the powder, places where cockroaches, bedbugs and other pests accumulate are determined, their nests and egg laying are identified.
Phenaxin is applied to every place in the room where parasites can live: floors, thresholds, baseboards, heating and sewer openings, ventilation inlets. Particular attention is paid to hard-to-reach corners of the room, crowded with furniture.
Facing surfaces, door frames, walls, areas under paintings and carpets are carefully processed.
Be sure to pour the powder between the walls of upholstered furniture, under mattresses and in areas of loose wallpaper.

How to use Phenaxin powder correctly

The powder is available in sachets of 100 and 200 g; usually 1 sachet is enough to treat an average-sized room. Following the instructions, the bag is pierced in several places, and the poison is scattered in paths along the routes of the cockroaches. The area along baseboards, behind radiators, in kitchen cabinets and places located near water should be treated, as cockroaches often drink. It is also worth scattering the powder along the front door to prevent insects from crawling away from your neighbors. Be sure to treat the floor under carpets, mattresses, and the surface of furniture with the product.

The activity of the drug remains for 3-4 weeks, after which the entire room should be thoroughly cleaned using a solution of laundry soap and soda. It is mandatory to wash bed linen in hot water. During treatment, it is better to remove small children and four-legged pets from the house.

If the drug is insufficiently effective, it should be combined with various gels and crayons against cockroaches, but if there are a lot of pests, aerosols, the chemical composition of which allows you to quickly get rid of insects, will be more beneficial. However, in this case, a more thorough treatment of the room and subsequent mandatory ventilation for 7-8 hours are required.

After a few months, the room should be re-treated with Phenaxin, since the powder affects only adult individuals, without destroying their eggs and larvae.

Features of the insecticide Phenaxin

5 advantages of using Phenaxin powder:

Convenient packaging helps to spray the dust sparingly, in the correct concentration.
The multicomponent composition provides a quick effect plus a wide halo of damage.
Substances of low toxicity and optimally selected concentrations allow you to return to the treated room within 2-3 hours after etching.
Valid for up to 4 months after spraying.
Product with an indistinguishable odor, non-allergenic.

A successful first treatment clears the area of the most common parasites in the form of young or mature individuals. And in order to destroy cockroaches that hatch later, the procedure should be repeated after 3-4 weeks.

Cons of the insecticide:

after 4 treatments, the effectiveness begins to decrease - each new generation of cockroaches develops resistance to chemicals;
It is convenient to treat all surfaces with powder, but removing dust residues from carpets and upholstered furniture is not easy;
the drug does not affect eggs and larvae, so re-treatment after 1-2 months is not necessary.

This is a two-component production product, Russian Federation. Phenaxin cockroach powder is packaged in 125 g and 10-20 kg. Shelf life: 1 year. The recommended consumption rate (5 g/m²) will allow you to treat the area of 1 room apartment with 1 pack.

How to use it correctly

It is necessary to apply the product in those places where the activity of cockroaches is most noticeable; hard-to-reach places are also treated. Since you will be working with a toxic substance, it is imperative to follow safety precautions and use protective equipment.

In order for the use of phenaxin to bring maximum effect, it is necessary to properly prepare the room and treat the necessary surfaces. It is necessary to carry out measures after treatment.

You can hear about this processing method, when a solution is prepared from powder and surfaces are treated with it. It is worth saying that this preparation is not intended for preparing a solution, and contact with water significantly reduces the effect of the insecticide.

Preparing the premises

A very important step when carrying out any disinfestation is the preparation of the premises; you will need:

Move all the furniture away from the walls, so we get access to the baseboards;
Cabinets in which processing is planned are completely emptied;
Be sure to hide all food products, they are packed in sealed bags or containers, dishes and all kitchen utensils are also hidden;
Clear surfaces of unnecessary objects;
Next, be sure to sweep, remove all cobwebs and carry out wet cleaning.

Treatment

There should be no people or animals in the apartment during the procedure, only the person who carries out the treatment remains. If you have an aquarium, it is better to take it out; if this is not possible, be sure to cover it.

Important!

Working with the drug is prohibited for people suffering from allergies, asthma and those who have increased sensitivity to chemicals.

All procedures are carried out only using protective equipment. It is necessary to wear long-sleeved pants and a jacket, and be sure to use rubber gloves, safety glasses, and a respirator.

It is necessary to pay attention to the baseboards, under cabinets, behind the radiator, near the window frame. Furniture, door frames, ventilation holes are processed. In the toilet and bathroom, corners, pipes, and under the sink need to be treated. Monitor the behavior of cockroaches, mark for yourself the places where you notice them most often, and also track where they run away after turning on the light.

Post-treatment procedures

Take off protective equipment and clothing, wash your hands with soap, wash, rinse your mouth, take a shower, work clothes should be washed. Leave the premises for several hours. Upon return, ventilate the room well. Next, you need to carry out wet cleaning using soda and soap; for this we dilute the components in water. It is good to rinse those surfaces that are accessible to humans and animals. The product should only remain in hard-to-reach places. Clean with gloves. Remember that the drug is dangerous to human and animal health.

Advantages and disadvantages

Due to its versatility and high efficiency in the fight against synanthropic insects, Combat products are deservedly popular among the population. The most important thing is that they are able to return a quiet life without bedbugs to your home. The main positive properties of the Kombat series drugs are:

Easy to use. No professional knowledge or preparation of drugs for use is required;
High destructive power. Noticeable result after the first treatment;

Fighting ants

"Phenaxin" against ants is used not only by apartment residents, but also by gardeners to save plantings. Before spraying the powder in the apartment, you need to determine the “path” along which insects walk. To do this you need to watch the ants. The powder is applied in a thin layer along the ant path. Most often, such places are cracks in doors, windows or floors.

To drive ants out of the garden, treat places where they accumulate: anthills, rotten stumps. Ants love to eat ripe berries, promote the spread of aphids and spread weed seeds. Termites can destroy a fruit tree or damage a wooden structure. Apply the powder to the soil around those plants where you most often see ants. Do not pour a mountain of product; a layer of 0.5 mm is enough. The procedure is carried out daily until the insects disappear completely.

A cocktail of substances from different generations

Phenaxin dust is a universal drug that contains a chemical that has been tested for decades plus a completely new one. This is boric acid (0.25%), fenvalerate (pyrethroid in an amount of 0.35%). Auxiliary substances included in the composition: lubricant (2.5%), soda, kaolin, soapstone.

The powder is effective in the fight against unwanted insects, these are:

cockroaches;
flies;
fleas;
bedbugs;
ants.

It is also used when treating open areas (gardens, flower beds, vegetable gardens) to kill ants, fleas or bedbugs. For these purposes, the chemical is sold in large packaging.

Fighting cockroaches

One of the reasons for the appearance of “Prussians” in an apartment is lack of hygiene. However, these unscrupulous insects often live in panel and multi-storey buildings. They travel to neighboring apartments through holes in the walls for water pipes. Homes with a garbage disposal are especially at risk. A cockroach can often be found in the kitchen.

Phenaxin powder should be sprayed behind baseboards, near the trash can, in the sink, near openings for pipes and ventilation grilles. To treat horizontal surfaces, you need to prepare a solution: dissolve 5 g of insecticide in 100 g of water. In addition to using poison, try to keep the kitchen clean and do not leave food or crumbs on the table.

Fighting the two-tails

The two-tailed insect (also known as the earwig and the “pincher”) is an unpleasant insect that can cause pain to humans and animals with a sharp bite. In addition, the two-tailed plant is dangerous for many garden and indoor plants. At the end of the body there are cerci that resemble small claws. Double-tailed plants start in damp rooms (perhaps you live on the first floor, and there is a flooded basement below you).

Insects enter the house through all possible loopholes. For Phenaxin from dvuhostok to work, spray the powder near the baseboards, treat thresholds, doorway lines, and window sills. Plug any existing cracks. The first result will be noticeable after a couple of hours. The procedure can be repeated after a week. Do not allow animals into the treated area.

Customer reviews about the product that we found on the Internet.

The effectiveness or disadvantages of the drug can be judged by reviews. Currently, before purchasing any new, unfamiliar drug, people look for information on the Internet. They also read reviews of it there. Some of them are given in our article.

Marina:

“Bed bugs appeared in the country house. I found it right under the mattress. The house is small, I decided to buy an inexpensive product. The store recommended this drug. She trotted the whole house. Especially under the mattress. A week later she came and washed everything. The bedbugs have disappeared. Inexpensive and effective!”

Larisa:

“The product is simple, inexpensive and has its own spectrum of action. I noticed insects in my child's bedroom. You can't really hurt anything. I decided to try the powder. For a week the child slept in another room. The bedroom was disinfected. We succeeded in destroying the parasites!”

Maksim:

“I had to buy a sofa secondhand. I was not happy with the purchase for long. He began to become covered in spots and itchy bites. I didn’t understand what was happening right away. Then it came. There were bedbugs in the sofa. I bought this drug at a hardware store. I paid only 20 rubles for it. Sprinkled the entire sofa up and down. I haven't slept on it for two weeks. The room also had to be tidied up a little. I checked every day. I didn’t see any living bedbugs. A week later I repeated the procedure again. The insects died. Vacuumed well and that was the end of it!”

Attention!

Any remedy for bedbugs will give good results if used correctly. Phenaxin is intended to combat adult insects and those with a low degree of spread. Manufacturers do not hide this. You can't expect miracles from him.

If the apartment is infested with bedbugs and it is unclear where they come from, it is better to use other drugs. is perfect . The drug is made in Germany and has a huge number of positive reviews.

How to get rid of bed bugs at home

Getting rid of bedbugs is a labor-intensive and lengthy process. Here are some recommendations that will simplify your work:

Try to find the source of infection. The choice of means and the effectiveness of the results depends on this.
When choosing a drug, consider the degree of contamination.
Products with greater effectiveness are more toxic and require the use of special suits and personal protective equipment.
If there are small children and animals in the house, preference should be given to less toxic drugs.
When disinfecting, you need to treat all furniture, floors, walls, and doorways.
Make cosmetic repairs - fix cracks in the walls, glue up wallpaper, and so on.
If such measures do not bring the desired results, then you need to seek help from special services for the control of harmful insects.

The medicine against bedbugs in the apartment must be used in compliance with all safety rules specified in the instructions. Otherwise, you may get poisoned.

The effectiveness of Phenaxin against bedbugs

The drug is characterized by average stability and sufficient effectiveness. However, it should be used as an independent remedy for bedbugs only when their numbers are low. This is due to the fact that bedbugs move slowly, unlike cockroaches, and weakly spread the drug throughout their colony. After the product expires, some of the newly born larvae may survive and give rise to a new population. The manufacturer claims a residual effect of Phenaxin lasting up to a month.

How does Phenaxin work against bedbugs? Its action is manifested in relation to the nervous system of insects. Upon contact with the active component or when it enters the gastrointestinal tract of the bug, paralysis and death of the pest occurs. It is best to use the drug in conjunction with an aerosol insecticide, which will penetrate into the most inaccessible places. Also, to avoid the survival of some bedbugs, treatment should be repeated after 7-12 days.

Help: Usually a large sachet of the drug costing 30-40 rubles is enough to treat an apartment of 30 square meters. There are also large packages (20 kg), but they are usually sold only in specialized stores and are suitable for use in factories and other similar facilities.

Cold fog

Cold fog against bedbugs is produced using special equipment. Insecticide service employees should use anti-bedbug fog to disinfest residential premises. It is not suitable for self-disinfestation.

What is cold fog for bedbugs?

Killing bedbugs with cold fog involves spraying an insecticidal agent using a special generator, which is a compact mobile device.

This technology is called “cold” because the sprayed cloud of smoke has a temperature close to the environment.

The generator is filled with an insecticidal substance and produces particles no larger than 80 microns in size. The smallest fragments of toxic substances mix with the air and settle in an even layer on all surfaces of the room, including interior items, panels and the ceiling.

Action and processing

Exterminators can explain how cold fog affects bedbugs. A cloud of fine particles of insecticide remains for another hour and a half after spraying.

Fragments of the insecticide spread throughout the living space, penetrating into vents or cracks in the ceilings. Walls and floors are covered with insecticidal film.

Cold fog treatment for bedbugs is as follows:

The chemical is diluted to the required concentration.
The generator is filled with solution and connected to the network.
Walls, floors, baseboards, furniture, as well as all hard-to-reach areas are thoroughly treated.
After the fog settles, the treated living space is ventilated for 60 minutes.
After completing work with units that form an insecticidal cloud, wet cleaning of the room is performed. To do this, use a soap or soda solution. Use it to wipe all surfaces that households may come into contact with (furniture and interior items).

When using a cold fog generator, the following advantages are highlighted:

High efficiency. A cloud of tiny fragments of insecticide penetrates deep into the habitats of bedbugs. Within 2-3 hours, most of the population of blood-sucking insects dies.
Spray speed. Special fog generators fill the entire living space with finely dispersed insecticide in 3-5 minutes.
The versatility of the method. Cold fog is suitable for use in various rooms.
Wide spectrum of action. Fine insecticides are active against both bedbugs and other insects living in houses and apartments.
Safety for items. After applying cold fog, no stains or stains are detected on furniture pieces. But it is advisable to remove from the room everything that is highly sensitive to high humidity.
Availability. Buying a generator on your own and steaming your home is not for everyone. And calling insecticidal services is quite affordable.

During this method of treating the room, specialists make sure that there are no air currents, since they blow away the insecticide particles and the manipulation is not effective.

Automatic ventilation devices in the apartment must be turned off. And in open areas it is not at all advisable to use a cold cloud.

During the treatment, only exterminators remain in the living area. Upon returning home, the owners perform partial wet cleaning. Rinse dishes, wipe furniture and equipment. In order to not give bedbugs a chance to survive, it will be possible to wash floors and walls only 10-20 days after disinfestation.

The back walls of furniture, corners and baseboards should also be left for a long time without general cleaning. Insects that have found secluded places during manipulation with a cold cloud of insecticide will not be able to sit there for long.

Coming out of their hiding places, they will come into contact with the poison remaining in these places. And also these places are not touched for a particularly long time, since eggs may be hidden there.

When the insecticidal service arrives for the first time, it will explain to the owners the algorithm of actions. Some insist on double pest control to achieve a stable result.

Efficiency of dusts

According to the author of this article, most of the dusts on the market are very effective and are quite suitable for mass use, however, the effectiveness drops significantly if the room is not subject to banal hygiene standards, i.e. it is simply damp and dirty. If, after treatment, conditions favorable for the life of insects remain in the room, then soon another one will take the place of the extinct population; but it can be even worse, since the few surviving insects can reproduce, spreading their set of genes to the entire population, which can make it more resistant to the remedy that was used previously. Trite, but important.

Thus, if you keep the room clean, you can achieve high efficiency from almost any product, but each of them has its own mechanism of action, which should be understood when processing. Below, using examples of several means, this issue will be discussed.

Safety of powder use

The powder will show its activity within a month, and during this period it is necessary to limit access to treated areas for children and pets. Fish are highly susceptible to the effects of the product; during treatment, the aquarium must be tightly covered.

Tips for working safely with Phenaxin are as follows:

When processing, wear protective clothing, a mask (respirator), goggles and gloves.

Remove children, animals, elderly people, and pregnant women from the premises
Avoid the presence of allergy sufferers and asthmatics in the apartment
Remove indoor plants from home before treatment
Close the dishes, kettle, toothbrushes tightly in bags, put the food in the refrigerator
After treatment, take a shower and wash clothes

Do not allow contact with skin, mucous membranes, eyes, do not swallow or inhale the drug

Attention: If the product enters the body, drink as much water as possible, take enterosorbent, and, if necessary, consult a doctor.

Safety precautions when working with the product

Any insecticide is dangerous to humans, even those that are considered relatively harmless. Before use, you must carefully read the instructions and follow all safety precautions:

Prepare protective clothing - thick overalls or a shirt tucked into trousers, a jacket.
Wear gloves and thick glasses.
Don't forget about a respirator or gauze bandage.
After disinfestation, immediately take a shower, drink plenty of water, and wash your clothes.
After finishing the treatment, wash door handles and other contact surfaces with soap, water and soda.

IMPORTANT. Treatment with the drug is not allowed for children and pregnant women, as well as people prone to allergies.

After treatment, you can enter the house no earlier than 12 hours later. Repeated ventilation and wet cleaning with soap and soda solution are carried out.

ADVICE. After 12-15 days, it is advisable to re-treat the room, since during this time new bedbugs will hatch from the eggs.

Even with all safety measures, you can get poisoned when treating an apartment. The entry of poison into the body is indicated by nausea, shortness of breath, dizziness, and in severe cases, vomiting.

If you have these symptoms:

you need to rinse your mouth and nose with soda solution;
perform gastric lavage and take adsorbent;
if there is pain in the eyes, use albucid;

If you avoid direct contact with the skin, mucous membranes and respiratory tract, the treatment will not cause any problems. Also for animals, the main thing is to remove surfaces that are in direct contact. But for fish it is very dangerous and they need to be protected; it is better to take the aquarium out of the room.

Preventing and treating bites

After sleepless nights and itchy bites, one question is spinning in my head: “ What should I anoint my body with so that bedbugs don’t bite?” “ There are such means. Insects do not like strong odors. Alcohol repels well. Before going to bed, you can spray your body with your favorite perfume or cologne.

Before the procedure, you will have to do some cleaning , preferably wet and using special products, and then treat the walls with dust, without missing a single hole or small crack. You should also apply the product along the entire length of thresholds and baseboards, as these are the most likely breeding grounds for insects. It is definitely worth treating the ventilation.

Phenaxin granules should be placed in secluded places and cracks in the walls

Some housewives also treat the back walls of sofas and cabinets, applying a small amount of insecticide as a thin coating layer.

Ideally, the consumption rate should not exceed 5 g/m2 of the treated surface. Most often, one treatment with the product is enough to completely get rid of unwanted insects. But if the room is heavily infested, re-treatment is inevitable, and ideally should be carried out when traces of cockroaches appear.

To effectively destroy various types of bedbugs, after thoroughly cleaning the room, it is necessary to identify the area where they are most concentrated. The drug is first applied to this area, after which it is necessary to evenly treat the rest of the room, paying special attention to carpets, wall surfaces, baseboards and furniture.

The consumption rate is identical to the treatment against cockroaches and cannot exceed 5 g/m2 of the treated surface of the room. Repeated processing is carried out under the same conditions.

You should carefully examine the apartment for the presence of bedbug clusters.

To rid a room of fleas, it is necessary to thoroughly treat the floor surface, as well as the carpets and paths on the reverse side, using Phenaxin.

If there are places in the apartment where parquet, linoleum or laminate flooring lags behind the base, you need to pay close attention to them, as these are some of the favorite places for parasites to breed.

If there are several pets in the apartment (dogs, cats, etc.), Phenaxin is used to treat the animals' resting places . If they sleep on bedding, rugs or in houses, these places are thoroughly etched from the inside and outside, and then left for three days.

After this period, they must be thoroughly shaken out and then washed.

The consumption rate of the dust preparation is no more than 3 g/m2, depending on the surface of the room. If flea treatment is carried out in heavily cluttered basements, the consumption can be doubled. Repeated treatment is carried out when there is a new infestation of living quarters with fleas.

When getting rid of flies, Phenaxin is most often used in places where larvae develop or where fledged flies are planted - these are most often outdoor garbage disposals or garbage chambers in the basements of houses.

Ideally, the consumption rate of the drug should not exceed 5 g/m2. Repeated treatment, as when getting rid of other insects, is carried out according to entomological indications.

Precautionary measures

Since the drug has a small concentration of the active substance, fenvalerate, during disinfection it is necessary to take precautions that will help avoid allergic reactions and side effects in humans.

It is strictly forbidden to treat pregnant or breastfeeding women, minor children, elderly people, as well as asthmatics and people prone to allergic reactions.

When using the product, you must adhere to several rules:

Insect treatment should be carried out with open windows and vents, in the absence of family members and pets. If you have an aquarium, you will have to cover it.
Before processing, wrap dishes and food products in cling film and put them in a cupboard or cover them thoroughly. After disinfection from insects, the living space will need to be ventilated for 40-60 minutes.
It is prohibited to treat the inner surface of shelves, cabinets, chests of drawers and places where dishes or food are stored.
After cleaning the room from insects, it is necessary to do a wet cleaning. The remnants of the product after the death of insects are removed with a soap-soda solution (approximately 3-6 hours from the start of treatment). In hard-to-reach places - behind pipes, in the crevices of baseboards - Phenaxin is left until the expiration date. That is, for 5-6 weeks, after which it is also removed with a damp cloth, which it is advisable to throw away after that.

Cleaning your home from insects is not an instant task, sometimes you need to wait several weeks
It is necessary to carry out the procedure with long gloves to protect your hands and protect them from allergic reactions and unwanted side effects. The respiratory tract of the person carrying out disinfection must be protected with a cotton-gauze bandage. Work with dust should be carried out in special clothing, which can be replaced with a long robe and headscarf.
After finishing work with dust, clothes should be removed, ventilated and washed in a hot soap-soda solution. It is recommended to use the following proportion for disinfecting outerwear: 50 grams of soda (soda ash) and 27-30 grams of ordinary soap per bucket of hot water.
When treating a room with dust, it is strictly forbidden to eat or drink in the operation area.
At the end of the dust treatment procedure, hands and face should be thoroughly washed with baby soap. It is also necessary to rinse your mouth with water, and then take a shower (in another room) as necessary.

Phenaxin should be kept away from small children and animals. Ideally, the drug should be hidden away from people in a closed form.

An incompletely used drug can remain in place for up to half a month if sufficient tightness is ensured. Containers must be disposed of after use by burning.

Help with incorrect use

If the rules for using Phenaxin were somehow violated and precautions were not followed when working with the drug, it is necessary to provide emergency assistance, then call an ambulance or consult a doctor.

The most common side effect is drug poisoning. Most often this occurs when the person did not use respiratory protection using a cotton-gauze bandage.

Inhalation of Phenaxin negatively affects human health

If poisoning occurs through the respiratory tract, the patient must be immediately taken to fresh air. After which the victim can be given clean water so that he can rinse the oral cavity and nasopharyngeal mucosa. Ideally, you need to use a 2% baking soda solution for this.

If the product accidentally gets on the skin, immediately rinse the skin for several minutes under running clean water or with a 2% solution of baking soda.

If the drug accidentally gets into the eyes, the victim should immediately rinse them with clean running water. If irritation occurs after cleansing, a 30% solution of sodium sulfacyl should be dripped into the eyes. If irritation is accompanied by eye pain, instillation of a 2% solution of ophthalmic novocaine is allowed.

In addition, if you accidentally get the product into your eyes after performing first aid, you should definitely consult an ophthalmologist for further recommendations.

Phenaxin, like any dust, acts only after contact with insects. If the drug is placed in the wrong place, the desired result may not occur. In the bathroom, you need to renew the protective layer every 14 days, since the powder loses its properties in a humid room.

• powders should be used when the room is infested with clogs or moderately, if there are already a lot of insects, then the dust will not cope, it is better not to waste time; • you can mix with water products whose labels contain such instructions and proportions, but in most cases powders easily absorb moisture, so you need to wipe the surfaces dry; • you can simultaneously use different products containing different substances: FOS, pyrethroids, then change them each next time.

Dust will not cope with severe infection
