Regent 800 against insects - how to use the insecticide?

The insecticidal agent "Regent" has proven itself very well among effective and affordable means for controlling insects. The main active chemical element of the drug Regent 800 VG is a new generation synthetic insecticide fipronil , this toxic substance has a nerve-paralytic effect on indoor and garden pests.

Insects have not yet developed resistance to fipronil, discovered not so long ago by French chemists. Let's look at the composition of the drug, its features and instructions for use in everyday life and in the garden, and also pay attention to reviews from customers who have tried it in action.

Composition and chemical properties

Regent 800 VDG is one of the most toxic compounds used to control insect pests: 1 kg of the drug contains 800 g of a potent substance - fipronil. That is why the number 800 appears in its name. Additional ingredients are permethrin (15%) and chlorophos (10%).

The regent cannot be mixed with other pesticides that do not have an alkaline reaction.

Fipronil decomposes quickly in soil. Excess of the drug, even when adding granules directly into the soil, spreads to a depth of no more than 30 cm.

Description of the Colorado potato beetle

The Colorado potato beetle is a medium-sized insect (on average 12 x 7 mm). It has a convex oval body of a shiny yellow-orange color, a head with antennae and well-developed membranous wings. There are black spots on the pronotum, and 5 black stripes on each elytra.

The pest is capable of making long flights over long distances, which contributes to the spread of the population.

The insect's lifespan is about a year, but some individuals live up to 3 years. One female Colorado potato beetle lays up to 1000 eggs over the summer, from which 350–700 larvae emerge, which also cause enormous damage to agriculture.

Insects overwinter in the soil at a depth of 30-50 cm. The larvae also burrow into the soil to about 10 cm to form a pupa. Within 20 days, a new individual emerges from it, which can either crawl out or hibernate until spring.

Interesting fact: a female who has managed to mate in the fall can begin laying eggs immediately after diapause (winter dormancy).

Colorado beetles reproduce very quickly, live in large colonies, fly from place to place at speeds of up to 8 km/h and are capable of completely destroying the crop of potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants. Since a large amount of toxic substances contained in the tops of nightshade crops accumulate in their bodies, natural enemies prefer to avoid insects.

How does Fipronil work as part of Regent 800?

Fipronil has a neuroparalytic effect on pests, that is, it disrupts and blocks the transmission of nerve impulses. This leads to paralysis of all important systems and leads to the death of the insect.

The substance can enter the body of pests through the intestines or when the insect touches an insecticide-treated surface.

In the first case, the drug acts only when the insect eats it. The drug is absorbed into the intestines and, with the help of hemolymph, is distributed throughout the body. Within an hour, the insecticide leads to toxic damage, paralysis of nervous system cells and death of the insect.

The second method is contact, through the legs and chitinous cover of insects. In this case, the insect only needs to touch the surface treated with the chemical, the insecticides will act on the parasite, and it will still die, even if it does not eat the poison. At the same time, when running on surfaces treated with Regent, pests do not die instantly; they come into contact with their relatives and exchange a toxic substance with them. The drug that the pests brought into their nest and infected their fellows with it quickly causes a chain reaction and they die one after another.

This method of infection speeds up the process of destroying pests. Due to the long-term effect of the drug, not only adults die, but also their offspring, which are located in places that are impossible to reach.

Release form and instructions for use

The drug is available in granules and liquid form - in ampoules and vials.

To prepare the solution, granules from the package or concentrated liquid from the ampoule are diluted with warm water. The volume of liquid is calculated individually, based on the approximate number of pests. The less water you take for dilution, the higher the concentration of the solution.

The substance belongs to chemical class 2 poisons and can be dangerous to humans. When working with the drug, you must strictly follow the instructions and observe safety precautions.

For room treatment :

• prepare the room (remove food, plants, remove people, animals, aquarium fish from the room), close windows and doors tightly;
• 5 g of the substance/1 ampoule should be dissolved in 250 ml of water, for preventive treatment - in 1 liter;
• spray the areas where insects are most concentrated with a spray bottle; the room cannot be used for 2 hours;
• After the time has passed, ventilate the room well.

On the garden plot, the rules for using the drug differ:

• the solution is prepared at the rate of 10 liters per 100 square meters of soil;
• It is recommended to treat the area in calm, dry weather, at an air temperature of +12 to +25 degrees;
• The timing of spraying with the drug is tied to the ripening of the fruit, and treatment should not be carried out less than a month before harvest.

One of the important properties of the drug is resistance to moisture. The product can remain on the leaves of plants, maintaining its activity up to 75%, even if it rained half an hour after spraying.

The product should be stored at average temperature, observing the expiration dates indicated on the packaging, away from food and out of the reach of children. The manufacturer guarantees that, subject to storage rules, the drug will retain its quality for two years from the date of production. The prepared solution cannot be stored and must be used immediately.

Against cockroaches and bedbugs

To kill bedbugs and cockroaches, the product is diluted, taking into account the number of pests in the room; the larger the insect population, the more concentrated the solution should be. For the first treatment with a large number of insects, 1 sachet or ampoule of the drug must be mixed in 250 ml of warm water , if the number of pests is small, then in 500 ml. For preventive treatment, the product is diluted in a liter of water. The finished mixture is poured into a container with a spray bottle.

Treat the room by wiping or spraying the solution on the floor, baseboards, and walls. You should remove furniture and household appliances and treat all possible habitats and paths of movement of insects, as well as the underside of mattresses and upholstered furniture. Thorough treatment of cracks and cracks in the walls using a solution that is drawn into a regular syringe will help increase the effectiveness of pest control.

Processing should be carried out with windows and doors tightly closed. The premises cannot be used for several hours. After the time has passed, the room should be thoroughly ventilated.

After treatment, you should wipe the most accessible areas with a soap-salt or soda solution to remove any remaining product and minimize the likelihood of contact with it.

Any detergent should be added to the floor cleaning water to protect people and animals from possible contact with the toxic chemical.

To completely remove cockroaches from the house, you need to re-treat the room after a week, since during this time new individuals will hatch from the eggs. Only through proper processing and cleanliness can you get rid of unwanted six-legged neighbors forever.

Against the Colorado potato beetle and mole cricket

The Colorado potato beetle is more susceptible to chemical elements than the cockroach. Therefore, to treat the above-ground parts of potatoes, the concentration of the product can be reduced and the drug can be diluted in 1-2 liters of water. The prepared solution is sprayed on infected plants. This will help get rid of the striped leaf borer for a month. Treatment should be carried out no more than twice per season in dry, windless weather. The last treatment should be at least 30 days before the potato harvest.

Among garden pests, the mole cricket is particularly voracious. To the delight of summer residents, Regent can also fight such an underground pest.

To do this, make bait based on porridge from barley, rice, oats or wheat. The fresher the bait, the more actively the mole cricket will absorb it. Therefore, there is no need to prepare porridge for future use. Add one ampoule of Regent to the cooked porridge and mix thoroughly. To attract mole crickets, add 2 tablespoons of unrefined “fragrant” sunflower oil to the resulting mixture.

The bait is laid out near the mole cricket burrows or oblong holes several centimeters deep are made in the ground, the porridge is placed in them and sprinkled with earth. It’s better to put a board or piece of plywood on top so that birds don’t get to the poison.

If there is a large population of mole crickets in the area, then watering the area with a solution will be more effective. To do this, one bottle of Regent must be dissolved in 5 liters of water.

Safety precautions

The product belongs to toxicity class 2. This means that although it can be bought in the public domain, you must handle it as carefully as possible and read the instructions for use of the Regent drug. Do not use food containers to prepare the solution. When spraying the drug, you must use personal protective equipment: gloves, a respirator, protective clothing. You cannot eat, drink or smoke during the process. After work, you should thoroughly wash your face, hands, and rinse your mouth.

The product is specially packaged in opaque containers, since Regent must be protected from light.

The product is stored at room temperature away from light, away from food and medicine. "Regent" is a rather dangerous drug, so it should be kept away from children. Do not mix the product with other insecticides.

Popular questions

Is Regent a highly toxic drug? The anti-cockroach reagent is widely available; therefore, it cannot be classified as a highly toxic agent used primarily for professional treatment of industrial and residential premises. However, for the complete destruction of cockroaches, this insecticide is quite effective.

What are the rules for pest control, and should they be followed? The most important rule is the mandatory removal of animals and people from the treated area, the use of rubber gloves and masks. Violating the above rules and inhaling insecticide vapors can cause poisoning.

Is it necessary to re-treat the premises against cockroaches? The need to carry out this arises more often when housing is heavily infested. In other cases, the procedure is not necessary, since, provided that the regent is used correctly, the effect of the drug lasts for a month or more.

Harmful to people and pets

Since the active element of the insecticide is the toxic chemical fipronil, upon direct contact it can have a harmful effect on people and animals. Therefore, at the stage of preparing the solution and subsequent spraying, special care should be taken to avoid contact with the drug on unprotected areas of the body, as well as on the mucous membranes of the eyes, nose, and mouth. Even after minor contact with a chemical, it is necessary to thoroughly wash the body areas with soap and running water.
