How to properly use the Fas brand insecticide against cockroaches

Fas uses a unique combination of nerve agent pyrethroids and the toxic thiamethoxam, which work in tandem to deliver a devastating blow to the body of a single cockroach. By distributing the powder and gel among its population, each cockroach increases the area of ​​infection every minute, dooming its relatives to quick death. The variety of FAS production forms makes it a universal solution for any occasion.

There are things whose name speaks for itself. This applies to the insecticide Fas. Having been on the market for an impressive amount of time, Fas has established itself as an effective cockroach repellent that can quickly and permanently cope with widespread infections. It is based on dangerous and toxic substances that are harmful to insects, people and animals, so preparing solutions and protecting premises with this insecticide must be safe.

Composition Fas

This product is based on effective neuroparalytic pyrethroids, which are considered a panacea for insect control. Fas uses not one type, but several pyrethroids at once - in the most dangerous combinations for insects, which penetrate the cockroach’s body as quickly as possible. In addition to pyrethroids, the drug contains thiamethoxam, another dangerous and toxic substance that expands the range of insects that Fasa Double can eat: ants, bedbugs, fleas and other crawling insects are now on the list of victims.

How does Super Fas work on bedbugs?

Super Fas is a powdered product whose active ingredients are thiamethoxam and the pyrethroid zetacypermethrin, as well as fillers that help the product to completely dissolve in water. This insecticide destroys not only bedbugs, but also cockroaches, ants and other small insects that choose human homes as their habitat.

Super Fas has a poisonous effect on bedbugs, as a result of which the insect dies quite quickly. But, unfortunately, the solution has no effect on parasite eggs and therefore the treatment of the room will have to be repeated a second time. The insecticide is sold in the form of a water-soluble free-flowing powder or in tablet form. Before use, the product must be dissolved; in order for it to work, a 0.05% solution is sufficient.

The effectiveness of the drug depends on the concentration of the active substances. After purchase, super pack must be stored only unopened and it is recommended to open the package only before sanitizing the home. The opened product gradually loses its basic properties and therefore may no longer have an effect on bedbugs and other domestic insects. The shelf life of Super Fas is two years from the date of its release, provided that the packaging is sealed. Therefore, when purchasing, you should always look at the expiration date and check the integrity of the package.

Principle of action on cockroaches

The main active ingredients used in Fas have a paralytic-nervous effect. Once in the body (be it through chitin, the respiratory tract or the digestive tract), toxins disrupt the functioning of the nervous system and block the production of vital amino acids. 6-9 hours after poisoning, the cockroach experiences nervous paralysis, after which it immediately dies. During this time, the cockroach manages to spread the plague among its relatives, quickly spreading it throughout the entire population in the most inaccessible places.

Thanks to the effective combination of pyrethroids enriched with thiamethoxam, Fas can poison even the future offspring of cockroaches, eliminating the simple possibility of relapse.

Precautionary measures

When working with the drug, you need to take into account the toxic effect of “Super Fas” on the body of warm-blooded creatures. The drug has a low degree of danger when it comes into contact with the skin, a medium degree when it gets into the stomach, and a high degree when it settles on the respiratory tract.

For several months I did not see a single tick crawling, and before that the barn was literally swarming with cockroaches.

Yaroslav: I covered all the baseboards with powder, and the cockroaches immediately became soaked in it. I didn’t even have time to get to the cracks, and the ones that were the most dirty began to curl and die.

If there are a large number of insects, the entire room should be treated at once (even those rooms where there were no insects)
