Tsifox is a potent anti-cockroach drug that destroys pests quickly and efficiently

. Insects that live in the house cause a lot of trouble and trouble. They can carry various diseases, pollute the environment and even bite. The fight against cockroaches has been going on for a long time, but they still continue to live and reproduce.

The cockroach repellent Tsifox contains cypermethrin concentrate. This is a very strong poisonous substance. In addition, the insecticide contains a solvent, fragrance and emulsifier. In its composition and consistency it is an emulsion.

Tsifoks is a liquid with a yellowish transparent tint and a pungent strong odor. Sold in polymer bottles. It can be produced in different volumes - from 50 ml to 1 l. The drug in small doses is recommended for treating apartments, and large volumes are intended for disinsection of public places, such as children's and medical institutions, shops, and vehicles.

Due to the fact that the concentration of the insecticidal agent is very high, it must be diluted with water before treatment. In order to destroy cockroaches in a 2-room apartment, the minimum amount of product is enough - 50 ml.

The substance begins to act approximately 30 minutes after treatment. Toxic substances remain active for 3 months. This applies to a closed space, such as an apartment. If the treatment was carried out in open space, the effect lasts 6 weeks, and in water it is reduced to a month.

The product can eliminate cockroaches in one treatment, but if the room is heavily infested, repeated treatment may be required.

The drug is sold in specialized or hardware stores, as well as on Internet sites.

The insecticidal product is accompanied by detailed instructions for use, which describe how to dilute the drug, its composition and precautions.

Impact of Tsifox on the human body

Tsifox belongs to toxicity class III, i.e. it is a moderately dangerous concentrate. If all safety measures are followed, the likelihood of an allergic reaction or poisoning is low, but not completely excluded. If the rules of use are violated, irritation may occur on the mucous membranes of the eyes or skin. In severe cases, breathing becomes difficult, headaches and other symptoms of an allergic reaction or chemical intoxication (poisoning) appear.

In this regard, it is important to strictly adhere to all recommendations specified in the instructions for the drug. Complete isolation from the product when sprayed is necessary for children and women during pregnancy and feeding.

When the first signs of an allergy to the drug appear, you should immediately move away from the place where the product was sprayed.

How to properly dilute Cifox

The drug is diluted in different concentrations depending on the purpose of its use. That is, to destroy different types of parasites and pests, the emulsion is used in different quantities.

1. Mix the required volume of concentrate with water (the proportions are indicated in the tables above).
2. Stir the mixture vigorously for approximately 5 minutes. The working solution must be prepared strictly before use, since its shelf life is 8 hours.

Pharmaceutical property

According to the instructions, Tsifox provides high-quality destruction of ants, various types of cockroaches, rats, as well as scabies mites, bedbugs, fleas, larvae, flies, lice. All listed insects are destroyed within 20-25 minutes. The duration of action of the pharmaceutical drug depends on the type of room being treated and the concentration of the emulsion. Basically, the drug lasts from one week to several months.

The residual effect of Cifox is from 1 to 3 months. In an aquatic environment, the residual effect of the drug is 1-3 weeks. As for open nature conditions - from 1 to 6 weeks (when combating midge components).

If a person treats the surface against ixodid ticks, the residual effect of the drug is from one to two months. As a result, after contact with clothing, ixodid breams die, and the acaricidal effect of the product persists for several weeks.

According to Tsifox's reviews, it became clear that the effectiveness of the drug mainly depends on the sensitivity of the arthropod population to its active components.

Some reviews of Tsifox say that when the drug is used to kill insects that have pronounced resistance to peritroids, its insectoacaricidal effect is noticeably reduced.

Use of Tsifoks against ticks

Before treating the area against ticks, it is necessary to prepare the area:

• put the area in order: remove last year’s leaves, dry branches, etc.;
• mow all overgrown grass;
• Containers with water must be tightly closed;
• remove children's toys and garden tools;
• remove or cover lawn chairs, tables and other furniture.

When starting pest control, you need to remember some important rules:

1. Treat the area twice during the spring-summer period: before the start of garden work (April-May), again in mid-autumn after the end of the season and before frost (October-November).
2. Study the weather forecast. The ideal time for disinfestation is dry, windless days. There should be no rain for 3 days before and after the event. Processing should be carried out during calm periods. Rain and wind will neutralize or significantly reduce the effect of the insecticide.
3. Notify your neighbors of your intentions. Processing carried out together will enhance the result.
4. Do not under any circumstances cultivate the area before harvesting. For a month after spraying Cifox, vegetables, fruits and other food products from the treated area should not be eaten to avoid poisoning. It is optimal to wait 40 days after treatment.

   
   The toxins contained in the drug Cifox must undergo a breakdown process so as not to cause harm

5. While spraying the drug, do not allow children, pets, women while expecting a baby, and nursing mothers away from the area.
6. Protect yourself from unnecessary exposure by wearing insecticide-treated long sleeves, shoes, safety glasses and a respirator.
7. After completing work, take a hygienic shower, wash used clothes, clean or wash shoes.

   
   Clothes and shoes must be washed and washed to avoid unnecessary contact with toxic substances of the drug

8. All family members can go to the site after 3 days.

After disinfestation, it is not advisable to immediately enter the territory due to possible harm, although this factor cannot be ruled out either. It is more important to wait until the ticks are completely eliminated to avoid being subjected to a dangerous bite.

Instructions for treating the area:

1. Wear protective clothing.
2. Prepare an emulsion solution and a spray bottle.
3. Start processing from distant areas.
4. Spray the product evenly, moving around the perimeter.
5. Pay special attention to garden paths and areas with dense vegetation.
6. Do not cultivate land intended for planting vegetables, berries, fruit crops, a sandbox, a playground, or an apiary.
7. Apply the product to bushes and trees no higher than 0.5 meters from the ground. There are no ticks above.

Repeated disinsection is allowed after 1–1.5 months. The exact time depends on the intensity of precipitation and the presence of parasites on the site, but not earlier than 2 weeks after the last treatment. The amount of the finished solution depends on the density of vegetation and the number of parasites localized in the area.

Approximate consumption rate of acaricidal liquid:

• with a low number of ixodid ticks and a small amount of grass cover - 0.25 l/ha;
• with an average and significant number of individuals and dense vegetation - 0.75 l/ha, sparse cover - 0.5 l/ha;
• if mites of the genus Dermacentor and Haemaphysalis are detected or likely to be present - 1.25 l/ha.

Treatment of clothing and equipment with Tsifoks for protection against ticks

Tsifoks can be used as an acaricidal agent for disinsection of clothing. To do this, you first need to prepare the correct solution:

• the amount of active substance in the finished suspension should be 0.125%;
• approximate spray rate - 40 ml/m2;
• One set of an adult should require approximately 160–200 ml of solution.

It is very important to dry the treated items to prevent contact of the insecticide with the skin: this will cause irritation and allergies.
Rules for processing clothing:

1. Spray the drug outdoors. As a last resort, it is possible indoors, but in this case it is necessary to ensure high-quality ventilation.
2. Wear safety glasses and a mask.
3. Prepare the solution.
4. Unfolded clothing and equipment should be laid out or hung up.
5. Apply the drug at a distance of 20–25 cm from clothing with an outstretched hand.
6. Spray the product in the direction of the wind.
7. Treat items until lightly dampened.
8. After disinfestation, clothes need to be dried. Do not apply to skin.
9. Store treated clothing in a tightly closed bag.

Tsifoks can be applied not only to clothing, but also to textile tourism equipment: backpacks, tents, awnings. Items of clothing and equipment treated with the product will protect not only from ticks, but also from mosquitoes, midges and other insects.

User reviews

Last time, the red ants disappeared for two years... On our advice, our friends who suffered from an unpleasant neighborhood treated their apartments with Tsifoks, and everyone is very happy! Respect to the manufacturer! This is a real salvation from annoying insects.

I was advised to use a professional remedy for bedbugs, Tsifox... If you have bedbugs or suspect their presence, then do not waste time and start treatment. I definitely recommend using Tsifox, because I used it to treat 2 apartments and (ugh, ugh, ugh) the arthropods were gone... A little more than a year after the treatment, the bugs have not returned

On advice from the Internet, I bought Tsifoks... They hounded me, all in vain. The drug is effective only when applied directly to the insect, but you still need to get to it, and this is difficult... it turns out that if an individual survives the baiting, then its offspring are no longer susceptible to cypermethrin.

...asked that friend for the name. It turned out to be “CIFOX”. After the harassment, they left the windows open (it is very smelly, work ONLY with masks!). And they didn’t return home for a day. The next day the entire kitchen was washed. The entire floor was littered with cockroach corpses.

Tsifoks helps fight them. We use it to cultivate the plot, sheds and household items. It really is getting smaller. In enclosed spaces (garage, barn) after treatment you can forget about mosquitoes. They won’t even visit the open veranda.

Tsifoks helped in the sense that there were significantly fewer ticks. But still, it was not possible to get rid of it completely
