Description and composition of the “Foresight” product

The drug is available in the form of an emulsion concentrate.
It is characterized by increased toxicity. This is due to the fact that the active component that is included in the composition (fenthion) belongs to hazard class 3. This means that the Force site poses some danger to humans. To avoid negative effects on the body, you should adhere to the rules for using insecticide-based products. The drug is produced in bottles (50 and 500 ml, 1 l), canisters - 5 l. With its help you can destroy various types of pests: bedbugs, cockroaches, flies and others. Moreover, not only adults, but also larvae are exposed to negative effects. To destroy different types of pests, different dosages of the drug are used, which must be taken into account when preparing the working solution yourself.

Foresight tool

contains an organophosphorus compound. Its concentration in the product is 25%, which is quite a lot, so the emulsion concentrate must be diluted with water.

If this is not done, the consumption of the substance will increase, and at the same time the likelihood of complications in humans will increase, since volatile dangerous compounds will be released into the air.

Fenthion is characterized by a faint odor reminiscent of garlic. The mechanism of action is based on inhibition of cholinesterase, which leads to disruption of the nervous system. When sprayed and applied to surfaces, long-term protection is provided - up to 6 weeks.

Gradually, the drug begins to lose its properties, but at the initial stage of treatment it acts effectively.

Let's understand the properties of Foresight

The drug is activated at the moment of contact with the insect’s body and immediately begins to affect its body. The pests begin to move more slowly, then completely lose control of their body and die. Forsyth can protect a treated apartment for 4-5 months.

This product has low toxicity and belongs to hazard class 4. When using it, it is recommended to wear gloves and a protective mask. Once on the skin, Forsyth may cause a slight allergic reaction. However, if it is consumed as food, serious poisoning may occur. It is also extremely dangerous if fenthion gets on the mucous membrane of the eye; even a small amount of the chemical can significantly damage vision.

Be careful when antiparasitic treatment and strictly follow the instructions for the drug.

Characteristics of the Foresight tool

The drug Forsyth is a multi-purpose agent, the action of which is aimed at the destruction of crawling and flying insects, as well as their larvae. To ensure that you get rid of bedbugs, you need to find their nesting site and treat it thoroughly. The product, once on the chitinous cover of the bloodsucker, penetrates the body and causes paralysis, after which the bug dies.

Important! Forsyth is capable of destroying adults and larvae, but it has no effect on bedbug eggs. Therefore, after treating the room, it is necessary to thoroughly vacuum and wash it, paying special attention to cracks, sockets, baseboards and other hard-to-reach places where insects could lay eggs.

The concentrate has a characteristic light yellow tint and a rather pungent odor, so the treatment must be carried out in a respirator, and after it the room must be well ventilated. The active ingredient of the drug creates a protective barrier that prevents the reappearance of bedbugs in the house for four to five months from the date of treatment.

The drug must be stored in a dry place with a tightly closed lid. The permissible temperature range is from -30°C to +40°C.

Indicator name Meaning
Appearance Transparent liquid of light brown color
Mass fraction of fenthion, % 25.0 ± 1.0

The consumption rate of the working solution is 50 ml/m2 for non-moisture-absorbing surfaces and 100 ml/m2 for moisture-absorbing surfaces. Remove the product from treated surfaces using a wet method - with a rag and a soap-soda solution 24 hours after application, but no later than 3 hours before the start of the working day.

To destroy cockroaches , the working solution is used to treat places where insects accumulate, nest and move, paying special attention to the following places: cracks and holes in floors and walls, door frames, thresholds, floor and ceiling skirting boards, ventilation holes, pipe joints, cladding, kitchen furniture . If there are a large number of insects, the entire room should be treated at once (even those rooms where there were no insects). This is carried out in order to prevent the migration of cockroaches to other territories and their further spread. When insects appear, re-treatment is carried out.

When using Forsythe against bedbugs , the entire room is often not treated. If the number of parasites is insignificant, only their habitats are treated with the working solution. If there is a high infestation of bed bugs, the areas where wallpaper has peeled off, baseboards, window frames, door frames and ventilation holes, cracks in walls, back walls of furniture, carpets, and mattresses should also be treated. It is not recommended to treat bed linen with the working solution; it must be washed at high temperatures. After 5-7 days, it is recommended to re-treat, as young offspring may appear from the larvae that you may have missed.

To destroy ants , the working solution is sprayed on the places of accumulation and movement (paths) of insects.

When treating fleas , the working solution should expose walls (up to a height of 1 meter from the floor), the entire floor surface, various floor coverings, baseboards and cracks. When processing basements, it is necessary to get rid of garbage and clutter and thoroughly treat the entire room. Pet beds should also be treated and washed well after 24 hours.

When treating against flies and mosquitoes , insect landing sites, as well as external walls, garbage chutes and garbage containers should be treated with a working solution. To destroy fly larvae, cesspools and waste can be treated once every 20-30 days. To destroy mosquito larvae with a working solution, it is necessary to treat the surfaces of closed reservoirs, basements, and large containers with standing water.

To kill rat mites, treat walls and floors near heating pipes, baseboards, work tables, and the bottom and back walls of furniture. If necessary, re-treatment can be carried out only after 10-15 days.

Why do bedbugs appear in a person’s home?

Bedbugs are insects that cannot live without humans, as they feed on their blood. They go out hunting at night, when a person is fast asleep. After the insect drinks blood, it can safely stay in the shelter for almost a week. In connection with this fact, it should be noted that bites may not appear every night, but if there are a lot of insects, then it is not a fact that bites will appear at intervals of one week. Often there are too many bites.

In addition to food, ideal conditions for the life of bedbugs are created in a person’s home. Here you can always find where to hide and where to reproduce, since it is warm here and the humidity is at the proper level.

Where bedbugs can hide:

  • In upholstered furniture.
  • On the paths.
  • In carpets.
  • Under the bed.
  • Behind the paintings.
  • Behind the peeling wallpaper.
  • Behind the old baseboards.
  • In places where there are a lot of old unnecessary things.

The presence of bedbugs can be determined by the following factors:

  • Bite spots appear on the human body, which are accompanied by severe itching.
  • Bite marks form a kind of path. In other words, bedbugs do not make single bites. There may be several of them. The fact is that the bug drinks blood from several places that are located on the human body at a distance of several centimeters.
  • When bedbugs appear in a home, a rather unpleasant odor appears along with them, especially near those places where a person likes to relax.
  • Black spots appear on the wooden parts of the bed, which are a consequence of the activity of these parasites.
  • Many people believe that these are mosquito bites, so they do not pay serious attention to this fact for a long time. But mosquitoes make themselves known with a characteristic mosquito sound.

The drug "Forsyth": description

Composition and principle of action

"Foresight" helps to destroy a number of insects: bedbugs, flies, mosquitoes, cockroaches, fleas and ticks. The insecticide creates a lasting barrier to the emergence of new pests, its effect lasts for five months. Detailed instructions for use were created for self-treatment of residential premises from bedbugs.

The drug is presented in the form of a golden liquid with a pungent odor. The dosage depends on the type of pest. "Foresight" is classified as class four in terms of hazard level - moderate level of harmful effects. It is used for disinfection in schools, kindergartens and medical institutions. This confirms its safety for human health.

The composition of the drug is represented by the main substance and auxiliary components:

  • fenthion (25%);
  • fragrance;
  • stabilizer;
  • solvent.

Fenthion 25% is a poison that “kills” the insect’s nervous system. Paralysis sets in and the pest gradually dies. The larvae are also subject to the destructive effects of the product, but Forsyth does not destroy oviposition. To achieve the best effect, direct contact of the bug with the poison is necessary.

Store the drug in a hermetically sealed container at a temperature not exceeding 30 °C. Make sure that the product is inaccessible to children and pets.

Release forms

The product is produced in several types.

  • Liquid. Bottle volume 50 ml. The best option for treating a medium-sized apartment.
  • Trap. A paper box with a sticky bottom filled with poison. Traps attract insects with their scent. They crawl inside, stick to the poison-soaked base and die. By the way, small rodents also often fall into traps, so their use is relevant in a country house.
  • Gel. Presented in the form of a syringe filled with a gel-like mass. It has a delayed effect, bedbugs die after a few days.

“Foresight” is available to a wide range of buyers; it can be ordered in an online store or purchased in a specialized department of a supermarket. The price, depending on the region, ranges from 300 rubles per 50 ml bottle (data as of January 2018).

To combat scabies, head and pubic lice, you can use the drug “Forsyth Anti-Louse”. The product is sprayed onto clothing and bedding; after thoroughly airing, the treated items can be worn and used again.

pros

Guaranteed results and safety are not the only positive aspects of the drug. There are four advantages.

  1. Effective impact. If a room is heavily infested, you can get rid of bedbugs in ten days.
  2. Long-term protection. After treating the apartment, there is no need to carry out general cleaning; it is enough to wipe the publicly accessible surfaces without touching the secluded places. This will preserve the effect of the drug for a longer period.
  3. Ease of use. The solution is sold ready-made; it is diluted with water in accordance with the instructions.
  4. Low toxicity class. The poison does not emit chemical fumes, so it can be used in the kitchen, in a home with allergy sufferers, and small children.

Minuses

Like any drug, Forsyth also has its drawbacks, which you need to know about before starting treatment. Four disadvantages are noted.

  1. Does not destroy oviposition. To completely get rid of parasites, repeated treatment is required after a certain time.
  2. Has a high price. The cost of the drug is slightly higher compared to other insecticides, but this is justified by its low toxicity.
  3. Requires careful processing. Insects die only after direct contact with the poison, so all nooks and crannies of the apartment need to be treated.
  4. Does not have an immediate effect. After treating with an insecticide, it may take several days for the pests to die.

Instructions for use

To avoid unwanted consequences, it is recommended:

  • Handle the product only with protective gloves to prevent it from coming into contact with exposed skin.
  • Wear safety glasses while working. If the product gets into your eyes, rinse them with plenty of water.
  • It is important to exclude the possibility of the chemical entering the esophagus, as this can lead to serious poisoning.
  • Use respiratory protection, as Forsyth vapors in some cases can cause loss of consciousness or cause poisoning.
  • It is also recommended to observe the storage conditions of the substance so that it does not deteriorate.

Contraindications and consequences

If precautions and processing rules are observed, there are no contraindications to the use of Forssythe. But allergy sufferers and asthmatics need to carry medications with them during contact with any chemicals.

Possible consequences for the body:

  • In case of contact with skin, may cause slight swelling and redness;
  • If it gets into the eyes, it causes irritation to the mucous membrane;
  • The vapors of the product are highly toxic and, with prolonged exposure to the human respiratory tract, can cause allergies, loss of consciousness and severe poisoning, including pulmonary edema;
  • If ingested, it also causes vomiting and severe poisoning.

The effect on animals is similar. It is worth remembering: the smaller the living creature, the smaller the dose of the substance that can cause poisoning.

Effect on parasites

The insecticidal agent Forsyth has a detrimental effect only on mature individuals and nymphs. Numerous colonies are completely exterminated within a month after disinfestation.

The harmful effects of the drug begin immediately after sanitation. The poison penetrates the body of parasites through the chitinous cover and spiracles, after which it causes paralysis and death. Kills only adult insects and larvae. The eggs remain unharmed due to their strong shell. Their death awaits after hatching. Therefore, it is recommended to re-treat after 1.5-2 weeks.

For some period after disinfestation, the bloodsuckers will crawl out of their hiding places, but their behavior is inhibited.

Advantages and disadvantages

The obvious advantages of this insecticide include:

  • Low toxicity class;
  • Affordable price of the product;
  • Rapid disappearance of unpleasant odor (dissipates quickly);
  • A short period of time of action of the drug after disinfestation. All residents can return to the apartment within 5-8 hours, while other means require the absence of household members for more than a day;
  • Economical, a small bottle (50 ml) is enough to treat a 2-3 room apartment;

Flaws:

  • Difficult to buy. The product is used by special services for exterminating insects indoors, so this insecticide can rarely be found on the open market. Today, a large number of online stores have appeared where Foresight bedbug repellent can be purchased without problems, but its price is much higher than in regular household chemical stores;
  • Does not affect oviposition, kills only adult pests, so it is undesirable to remove the drug from some surfaces (walls, baseboards). The action of the insecticide is long-lasting; over time, it will also cope with the larvae of bedbugs that hatched from the egg-laying eggs after the apartment was disinfested;
  • To consolidate the effect, it is advisable to re-treat after about 3-4 weeks;

"Forsyth" is one of the most popular insecticidal preparations today. Some people like it because it is low toxic and easy to use, others do not like it because it does not kill insects instantly, and its smell leaves much to be desired.

It is impossible to please everyone. I would like to say the following: this insecticide combines two most important qualities: high efficiency in killing bedbugs and safety for the health of your own and all other family members.

Usage

Before using the product directly against domestic bloodsuckers, prepare the following solution:

  • Prepare cool water.
  • Dissolve 25-30 ml of concentrate in a liter of liquid. If the contamination of the room is severe, then the dose is doubled. Mix thoroughly.
  • Pour the resulting composition into the container of the spray device. It is recommended to use immediately, but it can be stored for three days.

Having done everything according to the instructions, the smell of the finished composition will not be so strong.

When working with the tool, take into account some rules:

  • For sanitizing a living space of 20-25 square meters. m from bedbugs you will need about three liters of ready-made solution.
  • To bait cockroaches you need a little less - 2 liters.
  • The consumption for fleas will be within six liters, for the treated 50-60 square meters. meters.

Carefully spray existing surfaces in the room, touching hidden places where parasites accumulate. Apply the product from a distance of 20-25 cm from the object. Before the procedure, protective attributes and clothing are put on: a respirator or face mask, rubber gloves, a suit that hides the body. Then they throw it all away.

If there are not many bedbugs in the room, then there is no need to carefully treat things and bedding. At the end of the event, they leave for 3-4 hours. After returning, the living space is ventilated. A general cleaning is carried out only after a month, but in the meantime they wipe down the places with which people living in the house often come into contact: countertops, furniture and door handles, armrests of chairs and sofas.

After a few hours, when the unpleasant aroma has completely disappeared, you can have people and pets.

Cost of the drug

Forsyth can be purchased at specialized sales points. The price tag for it varies, depending on the packaging containers. The product is sold in the following forms:

  • Canisters with a volume of 1 and 5 liters.
  • Small bottles of 50 ml.

The required consumption for sanitation is calculated based on the area of ​​the living space and the number of surfaces to be treated.

For 30 sq. m, one small bottle is enough for 50 sq. m. m – 50 ml of the drug. Costs for soft items and fabrics double.

The cost of a bottle is 300-350 rubles, a large canister is 1500-1600 rubles. The drug cannot be found in the public domain, since it is mainly used by specialized services in their work. Sales to private customers are carried out through the official website of the manufacturer and distributors.

You can apply for this composition to the SES, where it should always be available. At the same time, they will give appropriate instructions for working with it. An analogue of the insecticide is the remedy for bedbugs Executioner.

Instructions for processing the premises

The instructions for the drug must be carefully studied before self-disinfestation of the apartment. It indicates in what dosage the product should be used, how to provide protective measures so as not to harm yourself and others. Strict adherence to the manufacturer’s recommendations will help get rid of annoying insects.

Preparing the apartment

Thorough treatment of the entire work area is another important detail to create an effective barrier against parasites. The algorithm includes five steps.

  1. Move the furniture away. Move cabinets and sofas that block access to the baseboards to some distance.
  2. Hide interior items. Remove paintings, wall clocks and other things and take them to another room for the duration of disinfection.
  3. Browse all textiles and clothing. Go through your items to check for parasites. Wash them thoroughly in hot water and pack them in sealed bags. The cabinets must be empty during processing.
  4. Free up your sleeping space. Disassemble the bed frame and remove the mattress. These are the favorite habitats of bedbugs.
  5. Remove food items. Food and utensils should not be in the disinfection area; take the food to another room for a while.

Repeated use of the product guarantees a more lasting result. Remember that fenthion is poisonous to fish and birds; do not forget to remove them from the room during treatment.

Features of application

Prepare a working solution: dilute 50 ml of product in 2 liters of cold water. This amount is enough to treat an apartment with an area of ​​50 m2 with an average degree of infection. Dilute the drug only in cold water, as it retains the toxic properties of the substance and fights off the unpleasant odor. Close windows and doors tightly. Using a spray bottle, apply the prepared composition to the parasite habitats:

  • walls and corners;
  • wallpaper joints;
  • slopes, cracks and doorways;
  • interior of carpets;
  • skirting boards and floors;
  • cabinets (inside and outside);
  • beds and sofas (on all sides);
  • fittings and all mechanisms.

Preparation of the product

When purchasing a drug, you need to pay attention to the instructions. It is in it that the developer describes in what proportions the product must be diluted in order for the effect to be maximum.

“Foresight” against bedbugs is used both for basic treatment of the room and for preventing the appearance of insects. In the first case, the solution must have a high concentration of the active substance, namely 50 ml of the product is dissolved in 1 liter. water. In the second case, the concentration of the product can be halved, for example, by 1 liter. liquid, take 25 ml of the substance.

The water used to prepare the solution should not be hot so as not to reduce the effectiveness of the drug. 50 ml of product is usually enough for 40 square meters. m. area.

Preparing the premises

Reviews of the effect of “Foresight” on bedbugs confirm its effectiveness. However, if you want to protect yourself from pests forever, it is very important to follow certain rules when working with them. Below are detailed instructions for pest control.

When bedbugs live in furniture, you should move it away from the walls before starting work. This way you can completely process the furniture from all sides and get access to all inaccessible places. If it is possible to disassemble the furniture, then do it.

When organizing the fight against bedbugs in the kitchen, you should hide and isolate all food and personal hygiene products so that Forsyth does not get on them. It is recommended to study all articles on the fight against bedbugs.

It is necessary to identify all bedbug nests, and if this does not happen, the parasites may continue to reproduce after treatment with an insecticide.

If you use the Forsyth insecticide to treat an apartment, it is best to take children and all family members not taking part in the process to friends or relatives during disinfection so that they do not accidentally drink or inhale the poison.

Preparation of the solution

"Forsyth" is sold in bottles. Before treating premises against insects, the product is diluted in one liter of water, which is better to be warmed up a little beforehand. To treat the average space, about 3 liters of prepared solution is required.

When bed bugs appear in your home, you need to treat not only your bed and furniture, but also baseboards and crevices where the insects can get in. The floor, walls and ceiling must also be cleaned. All surfaces must be thoroughly washed, since pests will only die if they come into personal contact with the chemical.

Surface treatment

You must take precautions and clean and prepare the apartment. Do a classic spring cleaning. It is enough to ensure that all surfaces are clean and free of small objects.

  • Clean the entire apartment thoroughly. Use a rag to wipe down countertops and any other surfaces, floors, and interior and exterior cabinet doors. All cleanup should be done before the bed bug treatment process begins.
  • Move all furniture away from the walls.
  • Remove curtains, carpets, pictures and posters.
  • Wash and clean all cabinets.
  • Throw out the trash.
  • Vacuumed the carpet. Wash and dry curtains and rugs with hot water and set the dryer temperature to the highest setting.
  • Remove pet bowls and bedding
  • Remove fish tanks and bird cages

Precautionary measures

Leave the treated room for 12 hours to allow the product to completely dry out. Then check the room

After 12 hours, wash the floor again and wipe down all the furniture. This is especially true when there are small children or pets in the house.

In hard-to-reach places, on baseboards and back walls of furniture, it is better not to wash the insecticide in order to extend the period of protection and prevent the recurrence of insect reproduction.

After a week, disinfection should be repeated using Foresight.

By following these simple tips and tricks, you can forget about the nasty bugs that live in your home forever.

There are cases when, after disinfecting an apartment, parasites appear again. This is because not all hard-to-reach nooks and crannies were treated; in some places the insects were able to survive. In this case, a new disinfection of the house is required.

Preparing the apartment

Before the arrival of SES employees or independent actions, it is important to properly prepare the living space for chemical treatment:

  • They do general cleaning: vacuuming, wiping floors and other surfaces.
  • Packed in tightly closed bags: toys, dishes, food, clothes and bedding. Taken outside the premises.
  • Cabinets and other furniture are moved away from the walls to free access to the baseboards.
  • If there is an aquarium, turn off the air exchange system and cover it with glass on top.
  • Carpets are taken to dry cleaning.
  • Mattresses and sleeping areas are carefully inspected for the presence of bedbug nests. It is better to throw away old mattresses that are more than five years old.
  • Cover windows and doors tightly, seal ventilation grilles, sockets and other through holes with cling film. Otherwise, vapors can enter neighboring premises and cause serious poisoning in people.

Foresight against bedbugs: instructions for use

Bedbug repellent can be purchased in the form of a gel or a special suspension. The drug must be used only in diluted form, which is why water is required for its preparation. It is not recommended to use warm water, since a certain amount of cold water will be required to obtain a homogeneous composition and neutralize the strong odor.

The product is diluted, as mentioned above, in the proportion of 50 ml of suspension per 1 liter of water. To make the processing process as comfortable and efficient as possible, you must purchase a suitable spray bottle in advance. If you don’t have such a product at hand, a regular brush can serve as an alternative.

Of course, it cannot be used when treating premises on an industrial scale, although this option is suitable for killing bedbugs in an ordinary apartment. The resulting solution cannot be stored for more than 8 hours, which must be taken into account when planning disinfection measures.

It is important to note that the above procedures are not required for the preparation of Forsyth, purchased in gel form. This drug is available ready for use. In general, compliance with the necessary precautions will not be a serious problem, since the product is easy to use in practice.

The resulting composition or gel must be used to treat areas where bedbugs accumulate. Foresight should be applied to furniture, sofa cushions and fittings. It is not recommended to carry out wet cleaning in rooms that have just been treated with the drug, as this will negate the preventive effects.

But such a measure as thorough ventilation of the room is not only useful, but also necessary. A few hours after ventilation, people will be able to stay in the room treated with the product without any threat.

As mentioned above, the product should be used in an empty room from which indoor plants and any pets have been removed.

The “Foresight” instructions contain all the necessary notes that need to be followed when processing and preventative cleaning of the premises; it will help solve the problem of pests as quickly and efficiently as possible.

It has a fourth class - this means that Forsyth is a low-toxic product.

The disadvantages of bedbug exterminators include:

  • It takes time to prepare the room for processing.
  • The duration of action of the drug is not only a plus, but also a minus: since Forsyth acts for a long time, the bedbugs will not disappear completely at lightning speed, but after some time.
  • The biggest disadvantage of Forsyth is the presence of an unpleasant odor. However, it does not cause any harm to humans and quickly dissipates in a draft.

Precautionary measures

When working with Forsyth, as with any other insecticides, it is necessary to pay due attention to the issue of safety, following the recommendations in the instructions for the drug:

  • try to carry out the treatment quickly (if this is not possible, take a break in the fresh air every hour);
  • use personal protective equipment (gloves, respirators, goggles) and work clothes (robe, headscarf) when preparing the solution and its use;
  • after treatment, soak the overalls in a 2% soap-soda solution (an alkaline environment neutralizes the effect of the drug);
  • while working with the drug, do not smoke, drink or eat;
  • do not forget about personal hygiene (wash your hands thoroughly after cleaning the room).

Description

The active ingredient in the composition is fenthion-25, classified as low-hazard. When used correctly, according to the prescribed dosages, it is harmless to humans and pets. Harmful to amphibians and fish.

If the instructions are violated, animals experience a number of side effects: lacrimation, salivation, restless sleep, loss of appetite. People who inhale vapors experience dizziness and nausea, even vomiting. If such symptoms occur, disinfestation against bedbugs is stopped and people go out into the fresh air.

When working with it, it is unacceptable for toxic liquid to come into contact with open areas of the body and mucous membranes. In this case, wash with soapy water. Vapors can cause an allergic reaction in people predisposed to this.

Along with the advantages of the insecticide, there are also disadvantages. These include a heavy smell, but it quickly disappears when the windows are open. To cause death, parasites require direct contact with the pesticide.

Store the emulsion closed, away from heating devices. This is due to its high flammability.

Where can I buy Forsyth?

Forsyth is a professional preparation for exterminating insects, which is used mainly by specialists from pest control services. It goes on sale in canisters, the volume of which is 5-10 liters.

If you decide to use it to combat bedbugs, then, most likely, this product can be purchased at your local SES. There you will also receive instructions and detailed instructions regarding its use. In recent years, Forsythe has begun to appear in construction hypermarkets and gardening stores.

The fight against bedbugs must begin immediately, using the most effective, but at the same time safe for your own health, means. Forsyth fully satisfies these conditions, but still do not forget to study the instructions and use personal protective equipment.

Reviews from people

Reviews about Foresight on the Internet are mostly good. Here, for example, are two of them:

Since Forsyth for bedbugs can be purchased not so expensively and is quite effective, I decided to try it. I can say that the struggle ended in my victory: after about three weeks the pests died. The downside is that it does not kill bedbug eggs, so you will have to be patient. In addition, the drug is terribly smelly.

We tried to use Forsyth against the parasites that had infested our apartment, but we were not pleased with the results. A lot of money was spent, but the bedbugs were still there, they just became fewer. This product also has an unpleasant pungent odor. My wife developed an allergy and had to buy additional medicine. It would be better to immediately call the SES: the costs are almost the same, but no suffering.

Description of the drug and its composition

Forsyth looks like a light brown liquid with an unpleasant odor. In stores it is offered in the form of a concentrate from which a working emulsion is prepared. Forsyth candies are on sale, but keep in mind that this is not an insecticide.

A special substance, fenthion, has a damaging effect on bedbugs and cockroaches. Not only adults, but also larvae cannot tolerate it. Unfortunately, the drug has no effect on insect eggs. However, this is compensated by the long-term action of the insecticide, so you can only treat the apartment once to destroy all adult bedbugs, and also not worry about future offspring.

Composition of the product

In terms of its composition, the Forsyth bedbug remedy is no different from most other drugs intended to combat domestic insects. It contains the main component and various additives.

  • Fenthion 25%. The harmful effect on insects is manifested when it comes into contact with the shell or legs of a bug. But the poison does not act immediately, but gradually. It affects the nervous system of insects, the disruption of which subsequently leads to paralysis. It does not pose any danger to humans.
  • Solvent.
  • Stabilizer.
  • Antioxidant.
  • Fragrance.

Properties

The effect of using the drug appears the moment insects come into contact with it. It is enough to carry out just one treatment so that after it the effect of the drug lasts for another 4 months.

Forsyth belongs to the group of insecticides of toxicity class 4. It follows from this that it has low toxicity. If its particles come into contact with human skin, it may cause only minor irritation. If the drug, even in small doses, gets inside the body, it can cause serious poisoning. Therefore, experts recommend storing foresight in a place protected from children and away from food products.

Unpleasant sensations occur if during use the drug gets on the mucous membrane. In this case, not only irritation may occur. Sometimes, if the drug comes into contact with the mucous membranes of the eyes, you can even lose vision. To avoid such negative consequences, before using the force, you must carefully study the instructions and perform the treatment of the premises only in special clothing and safety glasses.

conclusions

If everything is done correctly and efficiently, you will get rid of bedbugs after the first treatment. Force Site is an excellent drug, we recommend it for use. However, there is a small fly in the ointment; according to the instructions, the product is stated as a universal drug that will help get rid of not only bedbugs, but also cockroaches and other insects. So, the cockroaches will die, but not all, but only a part. This is the “Achilles heel” of all universal insecticides; it is important to understand that some work well only on bedbugs, others on cockroaches. And in our case, this drug is ideal for killing bed bugs.

Bedbug treatment areas

Treatment should begin with cleaning; a vacuum cleaner and a rag will partially help you destroy individual individuals and open nests of parasites.

  • We move the furniture away from the walls and clear away the rubble (freeing up access).
  • We remove the curtains and drapes and put them in the wash.
  • We remove carpets, paintings, photo frames, etc. from the walls.
  • We unfold the sofas and dismantle the bed.
  • We put food, cosmetics, and personal hygiene products in plastic bags and put them away.
  • Cover aquariums and house plants tightly.
  • We clear the treated area from people and animals.

If elections were held for cockroaches, the voting options would look like this: - Dichlorvos - Raid Trap - Mashenka's Chalk - Slippers

We process:

  • Gaps in floors and baseboards, places where wallpaper has peeled off.
  • The back of paintings, carpets, bedside furniture.
  • All seams of the mattress and all upholstered furniture.
  • Heating panels, places under window sills.
  • Send bed linen and soft toys to the wash.

After treatment, you should wait 5-7 hours and ventilate the room well. Send your work clothes to the wash and take a shower yourself. Wipe the contact surfaces with a solution of baking soda and water (a teaspoon per glass of water). Carry out the cleaning after 2 - 3 days, the presence of corpses will show how effective the treatment was. The residual effect of the drug will destroy the newly hatched larvae. If the drug comes into contact with your skin, wash with cold water and soap. In case of contact with eyes, rinse thoroughly with running water.
