Foresight against bedbugs: instructions for use, reviews, safety measures

Quite often, bedbugs and other parasites appear in a person’s home. The use of poisonous agents with a high degree of toxicity is not always justified, since it is necessary to look for temporary housing for family members and pets, and in some cases this idea will have to be abandoned altogether. The drug "Forsyth" against bedbugs is characterized by a low degree of toxicity, but high efficiency.

The product in the form of a suspension practically does not emit toxic fumes, and the product is effective for several weeks. In any case, you need to carefully read the instructions for use and act as written in it.

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.

What to do if the bedbugs are not gone

When insects are dispersed in large numbers, it is very difficult to remove them. You will have to repeat the Forsyth treatment 1-2 more times. This should be enough for 100% results. If there is no result again, take courage and go to the neighbors, both side apartments and upper/lower floors. Most likely they do not carry out treatment and the bedbugs return regularly.

Important! All work must be carried out jointly. The person in charge of the entrance can organize a collection of money for Forsyth, everyone will treat their apartment and in 2-3 weeks the insects will disappear forever.

The drug "Forsyth": description

This is a new generation insecticide. It is distinguished by the fact that it has low toxicity towards humans, but has a detrimental effect on bedbugs. Therefore, it can be used to treat premises without the risk of side effects, but strictly according to the instructions.

Characteristics of the drug:

The product is characterized by a contact action.
The product belongs to class 4, the lowest toxicity.
Available in the form of a concentrated suspension of golden sand color, with a brown tint.
A solution is prepared from the suspension. To do this, you need to take 1 liter of water and dilute 20 to 50 ml of the product in it, depending on the type of insect and the degree of infestation.
If there is a large presence of pests, this product can be used in combination with Chlorophos or Microcin, which will speed up the action of Foresight. This is due to the fact that these substances are more toxic.
The basis of the drug is the active ingredient fenthion 25%.
The effect of Foresight begins from the moment the parasites come into contact with the substance.
The substance, getting on the chitinous layer, penetrates the body of the parasite and begins to destroy the nervous system. As a result of this action, the insect becomes paralyzed and dies.
The substance exhibits its effect for 3 months, if wet cleaning is not carried out.
The product is equally effective on both adult individuals and their larvae.
"Foresight" is used to combat not only bedbugs, but also other harmful insects.
This product can be used to treat housing without the involvement of special services.

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 of the drug

The insecticide is used by those owners who intend to cope with the invasion of bed bugs, as well as other insects, on their own. Although Foresight cannot be called a cheap remedy, many owners choose it.

Advantages of the drug:

It has a low toxicity class, so when used correctly there are no negative reactions from the body.
It is highly effective.
Destroys both adults and larvae.
Valid for up to 90 days.
In addition to bedbugs, it destroys fleas, cockroaches, flies, ants, etc.
After application, no toxic components are released.
The working solution is prepared quite simply.
Available in convenient packaging: you can always choose a package with a substance for a specific treatment area.
Self-use is acceptable.
Economical consumption of substances.
Has many positive reviews.
One, and in some cases two, treatments are enough.

Price

The cost of the drug in comparison with household, less effective analogues is relatively equivalent. One liter of emulsion intended for the preparation of 20 liters of solution or 40 liters for preventive procedures (treatment area is 200 m2 and 400 m2, respectively) costs 1500-2000 rubles.

For example, a bottle of insecticide spray from well-known brands will cost about 260-400 rubles. for every 50 m2 of premises treated once.

For individual use, it is advisable to take not a liter jar of Forsyth, but 50 ml bottles with emulsion for 280-300 rubles.

Disadvantages of the drug

Despite the fact that this product is the latest generation, it has a number of disadvantages. For example:

The product does not destroy bedbug eggs, which is a significant drawback. Because of this, it is necessary to process the area several times or collect oviposition using a vacuum cleaner (mechanically).
For such a drug the price is too high.
It has an unpleasant odor, although it quickly dissipates when exposed to fresh air.

Instructions for use

Despite the low toxicity of the product declared by the manufacturer, like all chemicals, Foresight must be used correctly in order to protect yourself from various negative consequences. For this purpose, it is necessary to carefully study the instructions for use so as not to risk your health.

Preparing the premises

How to proceed:

All things and objects that do not require treatment should be removed from the premises.
It is better to take all personal hygiene items, dishes and food out of the room or wrap them in film.
Paths and carpets are thoroughly vacuumed into a disposable bag - a dust collector, after which it is immediately taken out.
Evacuate everyone living in the living space, including pets.
It is better to disassemble the furniture, since parasites and other insects are always hiding in the cracks.
It is better to throw away old, unnecessary things or furniture immediately, without spending effort and money on processing them.
Seal all the cracks in the baseboards or replace them with new ones, glue or re-glue the wallpaper, seal existing cracks near the pipes of the heating system, sewerage, water supply, etc.
Wash, or better yet, boil linen, bedding, curtains and other things, and treat upholstered furniture with a steam generator.
Wash the floors and wipe off dust everywhere, especially in hard-to-reach places.
Remove house plants and aquarium.
Prepare special, or preferably old, unnecessary clothing for disinfestation.

Preparation of the solution

The method for preparing the active solution is as follows:

Read the instructions carefully and determine how much of the substance is needed to treat the premises by measuring their area.
If there are too many parasites, you will have to dilute 50 ml of the drug per 1 liter of water.
In other cases, as well as in cases of preventive treatment, 20-25 ml is sufficient.
“Forsyth” is diluted only in cold water, since warm water worsens the properties of the substance.
A third of the water is poured into the bucket, after which the suspension is poured in and stirred with a wooden stick.
To treat surfaces, it is better to use a sprayer or spray bottle.

The use of insecticide requires the use of personal protective equipment.

Surface treatment

What should be done:

Treat headboards, walls, cabinets, carpets, floors, and baseboards with the prepared solution.
We should not forget about thresholds, window sills, cracks in furniture and other wooden structures. If the baseboards are old, then you need to pour more product into the cracks.
One bottle of concentrated suspension is enough to efficiently treat 20-40 square meters of area. If you treat only areas where parasites accumulate, then 50 ml of liquid is enough to treat a 3- or 4-room apartment.
After 7-10 days, the treatment must be repeated, since Foresight does not affect egg laying.

On a note! Despite the low toxicity class, the product cannot be used on clothing and linen.

Recommendations: what to do after treatment

Precautions and effect of the drug:

Firstly, you need to leave your home for 12 hours to avoid getting poisoned. And although the effect of the drug is not strong, dizziness and nausea are guaranteed.
Returning to your apartment or house, first of all you need to wash the floors, wipe the furniture and headboards, as well as other surfaces on which drops of the substance have fallen.
You should not get rid of the product on baseboards, behind cabinets and in other hard-to-reach places, as it will remain valid for another 3 months.
After a couple of weeks, it is better to repeat the treatment.

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.

Precautionary measures

The use of any chemical substance requires the protection of humans, or rather their skin, respiratory organs and eyes. That's why:

Use thick clothes with long sleeves, preferably old and unnecessary ones.
It is better to protect your eyes with special glasses.
Hands are protected with rubber (or medical) gloves.
The use of a respirator is mandatory.
While spraying toxic substances, do not eat, drink or smoke.
After this, you need to wash yourself well, rinse your mouth, wash your hands with soap, and either wash your clothes or throw them away.
After returning to your home, thoroughly wash all surfaces that a person comes into contact with every day.
Don’t forget to ventilate the room, especially since the product has an unpleasant odor.

Cost and reviews

It is believed that the drug is not cheap, since a bottle with a capacity of 50 ml costs from 250 to 300 rubles, and a bottle with a capacity of 100 ml costs about 450 rubles. These bottles are suitable for self-processing. For special services, volumes of 500 ml and 1 liter are produced, at prices of 1100 and 1700 rubles.

Most owners who have had to use Forsythe against bedbugs and other insects have only positive feedback. They are satisfied with the fact that it is a low-toxic product, but with a pronounced effect. It is enough to treat your home twice, and the bedbugs will disappear, although you often have to resort to more toxic means of control. This is especially true when there are too many parasites and conditions allow them to reliably hide in secluded places. This applies to old houses where there are many cracks and cracks, and repairs have not been done in a lifetime.

The contact action insecticide “Forsyth” has a detrimental effect on bedbugs, fleas, cockroaches, flies and other insects that like to appear in a person’s home. Despite the low toxicity, you should not endanger your life and the lives of other family members, especially children, expectant mothers, allergy sufferers and other frail or seriously ill family members. Therefore, you must strictly follow the requirements specified in the instructions.

Efficiency

It is advisable to use poisonous baits in the form of a gel for any degree of contamination of the room. They are used as a primary, auxiliary, and preventive remedy.

Forsythe liquid copes well with an average number of Prussians. If the apartment is heavily infested, you will have to use the solution at least 3 times every 14 days, which is confirmed by reviews of the Forsyth product.

I bought the gel along with the concentrate. The fight against cockroaches was carried out comprehensively. Through joint efforts we managed to get rid of the Prussians in a month. I left the gel for prevention for another 2 weeks. The solution smells unpleasant, but the smell does not remain for long. Dissipates the same day. It is imperative to close the apartment tightly, the result depends on it. It kills well on the first day, then corpses appear here and there. Repeated disinfestation is necessary. An effective remedy for cockroaches, but it does not help as quickly. Permethrin works well against mosquitoes. Its action begins upon contact with the treated surface, when ingested through the respiratory tract. When the product is present in the air, there is an effect. The cockroaches are dying. Poisonous film is not enough for these creatures. Either you need to increase the concentration, or carry out disinfestation every other day. Then you can defeat them.

Forsyth belongs to the middle price category, but is in no way inferior in effectiveness to expensive products.
