The active ingredient of Fufanon is malathion. This is a general spectrum insecticide and acaricide, with which you can eliminate all insects inhabiting a specific area - both creeping and flying. This poison is relevant in the fight against moths, ticks, fleas, aphids and other “favorites” of entomologists, including bedbugs, which most often occupy domestic houses and apartments.
The latter can “move” to you from your neighbors, using the ventilation shaft as a tunnel. If you live near a forest or livestock farm, your home is also at risk. Forest bugs, for example, move into human housing when the humidity in their natural habitat is too high. And the bloodsuckers that inhabit poultry farms and other livestock farms always prefer animal blood to human blood - such are their tastes and morals.
There are more than 40,000 species of bedbugs in the world. About 2,000 of them live in Russia. But the most annoying and nasty bugs are linen bugs, which are sometimes called furniture or bed bugs. They bite a person, satiating themselves with his blood, leaving behind a chain of five to seven red dots on the body.

The “Fufanon” and “Fufanon-Nova” products have retained their high efficiency, but the difference from the previous generation products is an expanded spectrum of effects, a convenient release form in the form of plastic ampoules, and safety for humans and animals.
Story
Fufanon has one active ingredient (AI) – malathion; This pesticide is a single product. And malathion is simply the commercial name for karbofos, the most famous of the organophosphorus compounds (OPS). Malathion was originally developed in the USA for... the needs of the mining industry, as a flotator for ore dressing. In 1950
Cotton producers drew attention to “substance 4049”. It was an attempt of desperation: then an outbreak of the cotton weevil almost destroyed the cotton plantations of America
The new pesticide proved itself well, and the Danish company Keminov bought a license for it, and in 1953, TM4049 was named malathion from the Danes; in 1968, Keminova bought all the rights to it. The same substance, but in a different way, was independently synthesized in the USSR in 1952 by N. N. Melnikov and K. D. Shvetsova-Shilovskaya, hence the name karbofos and the opportunity for domestic manufacturers to produce pesticides based on it without spending on royalties.
Insecticide Fufanon: instructions for use of the drug
"Fufanon" belongs to the category of universal and very reliable products used to protect garden and indoor plants from a whole range of plant parasites. A drug from the class of organophosphorus compounds must be diluted in accordance with the instructions supplied by the manufacturer, which will result in a solution that is not phytotoxic.
In tank mixtures, “Fufanon-super” and other drugs from this series can be used with other pesticides, but most often such drugs are presented:
- "Kurzatom-R" or "Poliram-DF" - fungicides used in the prevention or treatment of viruses and fungal pathogens;
- “Preparation number-30” against insect pests overwintering in the root system or in fallen leaves;
- “Gray colloidal”, added if necessary to treat the grapevine against damage from oidium, powdery mildew and scab;
- “Zircon”, which improves growth processes in the root system and fruit formation;
- “Epinom-Extra”, which is a stimulator of the plant’s natural immunity.
The compatibility of Fufanon with other insecto-fungicides and stimulants is tested through experimental mixing. Standard dilution of the drug is carried out by diluting 10 ml of the drug in a small amount of water under conditions of thorough mixing. Then it is necessary to bring the working solution with water at room temperature to a standard volume of 10 liters.
Safety
The toxicity of Fufanon is lower than that of Karbofos - the drug belongs to hazard class III, i.e. is moderately toxic. It does not accumulate in the tissues of humans and animals, therefore it is safe for long-term use.
When a large amount of insecticide enters the body, severe poisoning develops. Fufanon poisoning is characterized by the following symptoms:
- Dyspnea
- Cyanosis
- Diarrhea
- Headache
- Vomit
- Constriction of pupils
In all registered cases of Fufanon poisoning, there was a gross violation of safety precautions during disinfestation or storage of the drug in a place accessible to small children. No fatal cases of drug poisoning have been reported.

Answers to 5 pressing questions
If disinfestation is carried out according to all the rules, then the bedbugs will be completely destroyed - starting from mature individuals and nymphs, ending with larvae and eggs. Insects will begin to die within the first hours after treatment, but the entire domestic population will die out no earlier than three days later. Below are answers to five of the most frequently asked questions.
- What to do if the room is infested with bedbugs? If a house, apartment or office is heavily infested with bloodsuckers, experts recommend re-treatment with Fufanon. When using the Nova variety, the concentration of the drug must be increased. Since the product retains its barrier effect for 14 days, repeated disinsection should be carried out no earlier than two weeks later.
- What if after disinfestation several larvae remain untouched? The procedure must be carried out as carefully as possible. Even a few surviving eggs or larvae will lead to a rapid restoration of the population to its former size.
- Is it possible to open windows during spraying and after treatment? Not only is it possible, but it is also necessary. The pungent odor of the drug can cause poisoning, so the windows in the apartment should be wide open until the household returns from exile.
- Is it necessary to clean up after spraying poison? After baiting insects, a day later, the entire house needs to be washed with a soda solution. To do this, dissolve 400 g of soda in a bucket of water, thoroughly wash furniture, floors and objects that a person comes into contact with in everyday life. There is no need to treat hard-to-reach places - let their smell continue to scare away uninvited guests.
- When can I return home? Not earlier than 24 hours after treatment with soda solution.
If Fufanon gets on the skin, the affected area should be immediately washed with soap and water. If the poison gets into your eyes, you need to rinse them well under running water, and after dropping a 2% solution of novocaine, be sure to see an ophthalmologist or family doctor. If you feel an unpleasant bitter taste in your mouth, rinse your mouth with a weak solution of soda and go out into the fresh air. If the condition does not improve within an hour, call an ambulance immediately.
Users confirm the effectiveness of the drug, but at the same time focus on its unpleasant odor. If this aspect is extremely important to you, give preference to the microencapsulated form of the chemical. This concentrate has almost no smell, but it acts exactly the same as its liquid counterparts - it kills bloodsuckers quickly and on the spot.
Description of the pest

- shoot aphid
, which settles only on blackcurrant varieties; - leaf
aphid - it prefers to live on white or red currants.
Reference!
The peak appearance of this harmful insect in the garden is May-June, but aphids live on berry bushes throughout the summer.
Adults do not live long, but their females reproduce at lightning speed, so up to 15 generations of this harmful insect can appear over the summer.
Aphids can cause irreparable damage to currant bushes, especially if their colony has grown rapidly. Comfortable conditions for its reproduction are hot weather and lack of precipitation, so in the dry season, this pest will have to be fought throughout the summer season.
