“Delicia” for ants is an active food bait, available in the form of:

In addition to powder and granular insecticides in the line of ant preparations:

• universal aerosol.

Basic principles of room treatment

The drug Delicia is used in two ways, namely:

• Method number 1. It is necessary to scatter the powder along ant paths, as well as near their suspected nests. Their paths are easy enough to notice, since they always follow paths that were previously laid by the pioneers - this is how they find their way home. Scouts mark paths using special pheromones with a scent that each ant focuses on.

Unfortunately, nests are much more difficult to notice, since they try to hide in the most secluded place. It is worth noting that a hidden and rather long path leads to the anthill. If you find cracks, seams, crevices, then sprinkle them as thoroughly as possible.

• Method number 2. It is necessary to fill or spray the places where ants were noticed and possible shelters with a solution of the drug. Such an event must be carried out twice a day - in the morning, before bedtime (at this time they are already in their shelter). In addition, it is recommended to place a large number of flat dishes with poisoned treats around the perimeter of the entire room.

Types of ant repellents

First of all, the choice is between drugs of different release forms:

• Powdery. They are based on an insecticide with contact-intestinal influence. Simply put, infected particles penetrate the ants and destroy them. The effectiveness of the drugs is reduced if the composition is directly exposed to the sun.
• Gels. They infect insects simply by contact and do not require them to be eaten. The best niche preparations retain their consistency for a long time, are able to adhere even to tree trunks in an upright position and continue to act for a couple of months. You can buy the drug in a syringe.
• Aerosols. Sprays can destroy most pests almost instantly. They affect the respiratory tract of insects. When choosing the best drug in this niche, you can get a pleasant smell and a hypoallergenic, relatively safe composition for humans.
• Bait traps. They come in the form of adhesive tapes, houses with adhesive bases, and even electric ones. They are characterized by low efficiency.
• Repellers. Products in this category emit electromagnetic radiation along with ultrasound, which humans cannot hear, but they repel animals.
• Fumigators. Vapors that are dangerous to insects are distributed throughout the room, which destroys them.

Methods of application

The products can be used for sprinkling, watering or spraying.

a) Shedding. The maximum effect of the treatment is ensured by the use of powdered insecticide, which the ants carry to their nest, where it is eaten by the queen ant and the growing offspring, thus providing maximum coverage. The powder is scattered in a thin layer on the paths of movement of ants, near their nests. Cracks, crevices and seams should be sprinkled especially generously at the rate of 10 g per 1 sq. m. m.

b) Spraying. The powder is water-soluble, so you can dilute the powder in water according to the instructions, mixing thoroughly. Application rate – 30g/1l. water. Pour or spray this solution over cracks, crevices, seams and ant nests. It is necessary to process all approaches to the ant nest. It is best to apply in the morning or evening, when all the ants are collected in the nest. When fighting inside the house, place small flat cups of solution in areas where ants are found or sprinkle small drops of cracks and crevices.

c) The use of bait boxes, lenses, sprays and aerosols is carried out according to the instructions.

Restrictions and security

All drugs in the “Delicia” series against ants belong to class 3 danger to humans (moderately hazardous substance).

When interacting with the drug, generally known personal safety standards should be observed. Safety standards when working with the drug are in accordance with SanPiN 1.2.2584-10 “Hygienic requirements for the safety of testing processes, storage, transportation, implementation of the use, neutralization and disposal of pesticides and agrochemicals.”

Due to the high toxicological characteristics of chlorpyrifos, very low MPC values ​​have been established for it. Therefore, when processing, you should strictly follow the instructions for use, avoiding overdose.

Symptoms of poisoning can include abdominal pain, blurred vision, and convulsions. In case of moderate poisoning, insomnia and heaviness in the body appear. Antidote: atropine + toxogonin (under medical supervision).

In case of poisoning with chlorpyrifos, the following therapy is necessary: ​​if the substance gets into the eyes, you need to rinse them and drip atropine or its analogues; if the substance gets on the skin, remove it with a cotton swab pre-moistened in a 5-10% alcohol solution, then wash with plenty of water. If the substance gets inside the body, drink several glasses of a 2% soda solution or warm water and induce vomiting. In case of severe poisoning, injections are given subcutaneously with atropine, which removes the effect of the substance on the enzyme.
