Insecticide Effective for the rapid extermination of red, black, furniture and American cockroaches

Effective - a universal household insecticide for killing insects in residential areas. It is most often used to kill cockroaches due to the content of components that have the most pronounced effect on cockroaches.

For example, when sprayed directly, red cockroaches die in 29 minutes:

Black cockroaches die after contact with the liquid solution. Effective in 8.5 minutes:

Effective contains insecticides to which cockroaches are not known to be resistant. This ensures that any cockroach sprayed with the solution will die.

Effective contains three powerful insecticides at once

Effective contains insecticides to which cockroaches are not known to be resistant. This ensures that any cockroach that is sprayed with the solution will die.

Effectively kills cockroaches due to the simultaneous action of three components:

• Propoxur in an amount of 8.6% by weight of the drug
• Tetramethrin - 0.43%
• Piperonyl butoxide - 0.85%

Together they have a powerful nerve-paralytic effect on insects.

Once propoxur enters the nervous tissue, it blocks the enzyme that binds acetylcholine, an important neurotransmitter. Because of this, acetylcholine accumulates in nerve synapses without returning to neurons, and the connection between nerve cells and muscles is disrupted. Paralysis develops.

Tetramethrin disrupts the migration of potassium and sodium ions across the presynaptic membrane, which leads to an acceleration of the release of acetylcholine into the space of the nerve synapse. This speeds up the process initiated by propoxur.

Piperonyl butoxide blocks enzymes in the cockroach's body that break down tetramethrin. In this way it protects tetramethrin from degradation and guarantees its effectiveness.

Additionally, piperonyl butoxide accelerates the passage of tetramethrin through the chitinous integument of the insect's body. Thanks to this, Effective acts even when it gets on the wings, legs, or abdomen of an insect, and due to the same effect, it works quite quickly even after drying, when the cockroach simply runs over a layer of already dried product.

Brief description of the insecticide

Thanks to the innovative technology of Dutch developers, such a unique product as “Effective Ultra” is not considered dangerous or toxic for humans or animals. But at the same time, it is effective in destroying a large number of different types of insects that annoy a person in his home. Everyone knows how difficult it is to remove bed bugs, for example. This is the right way to deal with this problem in one processing session.

BUY

The peculiarity of the substance that attracts most buyers is that it smells practically nothing and is non-toxic to people! This is extremely important for processing institutions such as medical or childcare facilities, as well as human homes.

There is no known resistance in insects to even two of the components of Efficient

There have been no cases of insect resistance to at least two components of Effektiv simultaneously. This means that in any room, at least two out of three insecticides will act on any cockroach that comes into contact with the product. And this, in turn, ensures that the drug will kill any insect it comes into contact with.

Cases of resistance to either propoxur or tetramethrin alone are extremely rare. Of the several thousand cockroach populations studied in residential buildings in Moscow and the Moscow region, there are only a few populations resistant to one of them. These are hundredths of a percent of the total number of cockroaches. Consequently, in each particular apartment, cockroaches will almost certainly die from the action of each of the components of Effektiv separately, and will definitely die from the simultaneous action of all three insecticides in its composition.

Reviews about the product

Maria, Leningrad region. In our children's camp, where I have been working as a counselor for several years, this drug was used before the children arrived. In the dining room, the kitchen was treated for flies and cockroaches. The product is simply excellent! After one treatment, we carried out sewage disposal one more time for prevention, but only after 1.5 months. Although the appearance of cockroaches was no longer noticed, and very few flies showed up, they still decided to treat the children again between visits.

Slava Khotenkov, Arkhangelsk region. There are tons of mosquitoes in our area! Even though I live in an apartment, they still plague the residents - almost everyone has mosquito nets. But these bloodsuckers somehow manage to get through - through the ventilation, I think. In short, a neighbor once invited the sanitary service to his home to kill mosquitoes and block their access to the apartment. Here I asked for it - in my apartment they treated ventilation hatches, window slopes, door frames and even upper cabinets and storage rooms with the Ultra Effect. After such a total treatment, I didn’t notice any mosquitoes at home for 6 months. Then they appeared again, but not much. I called the sanitation company, they said that a mosquito net should be installed on the ventilation. I did everything myself, installed a mesh on the ventilation duct in the bathroom and kitchen. It helped! Now I have a life without a mosquito!

Effectively kills cockroaches after drying on a surface for 2 weeks

The instructions for use of the product state that the Efficient solution retains its insecticidal properties for 2 weeks after drying.

This means that even if a cockroach runs over the dried preparation, it will die.

Insecticides from Effective are grouped into microcapsules that retain their shape even after drying. When insecticides come into contact with the body of an insect, they are released from microcapsules onto the surface of the chitinous cuticle and are drawn into it, then penetrating into the muscles and nervous tissue, where they have a toxic effect. This residual effect of Efficient has been tested on red cockroaches:

And then on black:

Due to this action, surfaces treated with Efficient, on which cockroaches often run, are recommended not to be washed for 2 weeks after treatment: if individual individuals survive in the apartment in the most inaccessible places, or if new cockroaches get here from neighbors, they will die after moving around such dry treated surfaces.

Mechanism of action

It is a potent insecticide against synanthropic insects. The mechanism of action is as follows: after application to the surface, the insect comes into contact with the drug, the active substances penetrate inside and poison.

The drug has a prolonged effect; after application to non-absorbent surfaces, it remains active for 4 weeks, and on absorbent surfaces for up to 7 days.

The product is effective against any arthropods - insects, spiders, ticks, centipedes and woodlice.

Effectively kills any arthropods - its mechanism of action is realized in the body of any invertebrate that has the same structure of the nervous system as that of cockroaches. Due to this, they can destroy:

• Bed bugs at all active stages of development - nymphs and adults
• Cockroaches - red, black, American, furniture
• Ants, including on personal plots
• Fleas (on surfaces and hiding places only, NOT on pets)
• Beetles of any kind - weevils, borers, flour beetles, leather beetles
• Moth - both clothing and food
• silverfish
• Ticks - argas, ixodid, gamas, dust
• Spiders
• Moist
• Millipedes - nodule, centipedes, drupes, flycatchers

Watch a video of Efficient treatment in an ordinary apartment, where it was used to poison poisonous spiders, bedbugs, silverfish, and even an accidentally flown butterfly:

At the same time, according to the observations of disinfectants, Efficient acts as quickly as possible on cockroaches, and therefore in professional practice it is used specifically for baiting cockroaches.

Purpose

The insecticidal agent is intended for the destruction of synanthropic insects (red, black and American cockroaches, bed bugs, rat fleas, red house ants, crickets, silverfish, spiders, skin beetles, mosquito larvae) by organizations engaged in disinfection activities at facilities for various purposes: industrial and residential premises, at public utility facilities (hotels, dormitories, sports complexes), at public catering establishments, in health care facilities during final disinsection, in children's institutions (except for bedrooms, dining rooms and playrooms) on sanitary days and weekends, as well as by the population at home .

A bottle of Efficient is enough to treat 80 square meters. m. surfaces

In accordance with the instructions, to kill cockroaches, you need to prepare a working solution of 1 liter of water and 25 ml of Efficient. The drug in a 100 ml bottle is enough to prepare 4 liters of working solution.

According to the same instructions, to kill cockroaches, surfaces should be sprayed with a solution consumption of 50 ml per 1 square meter. m, if the surface does not absorb liquid, or 100 ml per 1 sq. m., if the surface absorbs liquids.

Therefore, for spraying non-absorbent surfaces, one bottle is enough to treat 80 square meters. m. area of ​​material. Since cockroaches most often stick to hard, non-absorbent surfaces, you can count on spraying just such an area.

Practice shows that a bottle of Effective is enough to remove cockroaches from a standard two-room apartment. If the infestation is not severe, half a bottle will be enough to kill the cockroaches, and half can be left in case of repeated treatment in the future. In case of severe infestation, a solution from one bottle can be used to treat the entire apartment and destroy all the cockroaches in it.

Preparation. Instructions for use. Security measures

When working with the product, you must follow the instructions and safety precautions. Processing is carried out wearing gloves, masks, and protective suits. It is prohibited to use the product by persons under 18 years of age, pregnant or lactating women.

To prepare the working solution, the concentrate is mixed with water at room temperature and mixed thoroughly. Apply by spraying. Particular attention is paid to hard-to-reach areas, places where insects accumulate and move. Consumption rate – 100 ml/sq. m. Repeated treatment is allowed after 1-2 months.

Before starting treatment, wet clean the site, remove personal hygiene items and food. To apply the composition, use a spray bottle or brushes. After disinfestation, the facility is closed for at least 4-6 hours. Afterwards, ventilation and wet cleaning are carried out. It is prohibited to use the premises for their intended purpose without wet cleaning.

There are no known cases of poisoning of people and domestic animals with Effektiv or its solutions.

Effective is quite safe if you follow the instructions in the instructions for use. Today there are no known cases of poisoning of people or pets after using it.

All active components of Efficient are completely neutralized by enzymes in the body of warm-blooded animals, without leading to damage to the nervous system. They can have a toxic effect only on invertebrates, and to a lesser extent on cold-blooded vertebrates (fish, frogs). If a significant amount of the drug enters the body of a person, cat, or dog, typical signs of poisoning may appear - nausea, dizziness - which quickly stop if you go out into the fresh air and drink clean water.

If you follow the instructions in the instructions, the likelihood of significant quantities of Efficient entering the human body is practically excluded. The handler, working in a respirator, long sleeves and gloves, is reliably protected from the product entering the body. People who do not take part in the treatment leave the room while the room is being sprayed, and they also cannot get poisoned.

Precautionary measures

If, when processing a room, working liquid or suspension gets on the skin or mucous membranes, you need to quickly rinse them with cold water or a weak solution of soda (1 tablespoon per liter of water). If the insecticide gets into the stomach, you cannot induce vomiting - several tablets of activated carbon will help prevent absorption. After finishing the treatment of the room, you should thoroughly wash your hands and face with cool water.

Advice

Regardless of the well-being of the victim, if poisoned by an insecticide, you should immediately call a doctor or go to the nearest hospital.

Basic rules for insect control

The first rule, which is the Grail of rules, is maintaining hygiene and sanitary standards. The fight against cockroaches may not begin if you maintain order in the apartment. Cockroaches live in places where garbage accumulates, in bathrooms and kitchens, where conditions of cleanliness and order are violated. The cockroach does not need your refrigerator or other source, since for the long-term life of cockroaches, food weighing 20 grams is enough.

One of the important parameters that help cockroaches adapt to the environment is the availability of water. Constant moisture in the room, drops after using faucets, leaking pipes, all this completely satisfies the needs of cockroaches. In such cases, using the strongest drug to poison cockroaches will not help get rid of them if the cockroach colonies have access to water. Plan of “attack” on cockroach colonies:

1. Food products must be in sealed packaging. After eating food, you should clean the room and check surfaces for residues and crumbs. You should not leave any food products in the public domain - cookies and sweets in vases, fruits, and so on. All this is the favorite delicacy of cockroaches, which they will profit from when you sleep.
2. All surfaces in the kitchen and other food areas should be wiped with a dry cloth.
3. Clean the house using cleaning products. Place food in vacuum bags.

Cockroach traps

The use of traps is perhaps the simplest and most affordable way to kill cockroaches, but it cannot be called the most effective. The advantages of cockroach traps are their safety, ease of use and price. If the apartment is seriously infested, the use of traps alone, unfortunately, will not be sufficient.

You can use traps only if the insects do not live in your apartment, but periodically run from neighbors or from the entrance. It is necessary to place traps in the kitchen, in the bathroom, near hoods, on the balcony, then cockroaches, penetrating into the apartment, will successfully fall into them.

The most effective traps are those that have a sticky consistency inside. It’s even better if the glue has a baiting effect; such traps come in paper and plastic. It is better to give preference to plastic traps; they will last you longer than paper ones.

Along with conventional glue traps, there are electric traps on the market; when caught in them, cockroaches die from an electrical discharge. It is also impossible to say that this is an effective remedy, and in terms of efficiency it is inferior to Velcro traps.

You can make a trap with your own hands. Take a regular bottle, cut off the bottom, place a piece of banana on the bottom of the bottle, add a drop of honey and coat the sides with vegetable oil. In the morning, all you have to do is flush the trapped cockroaches down the toilet.

When reviewing effective cockroach repellents, you can take a closer look at crayons and powders, which are also effective only when the insect infestation is low. A good example of such means is the long-proven Mashenka chalk, which is still a reliable means of protection against insects. Not to say that this is an effective remedy for cockroaches, but it is still in demand.

Criteria for choosing an effective remedy

When choosing a cockroach repellent that is suitable specifically for your situation, you need to adhere to a number of criteria:

Price. The main thing to understand is that a truly effective drug cannot be cheap. On average, the price of an effective remedy is equal to calling the emergency services. Here, it’s up to you to decide whether to fight insects yourself or seek the help of specialists. To begin with, you should evaluate the degree of occupancy of the apartment and your capabilities, then make the right choice.

Efficiency is the most important criterion for choosing a product. Many manufacturers focus on safety, ease of use and price, but this does not mean that the product is effective. A good example, in this case, is electronic cockroach repellers, which are in great demand among consumers (no need to use chemicals, completely safe, easy to use), but they will not help get rid of insects.

Safety. There are a number of effective means that an ordinary person, without special equipment and protection, cannot use on their own. Therefore, when choosing effective drugs, it is recommended to take into account its safety for you and your household.

Validity. Before purchasing products, you need to assess the situation and understand how long it will take you to get rid of cockroaches. For some, it is important to get rid of cockroaches within a day and completely clean the room; for others, time is not critical and treatment can be done in stages. But again, we should not forget that when the apartment is heavily infested with insects, one treatment is not always enough. Only with a specific goal and a correct assessment of the situation will you be able to choose an effective remedy that is suitable for you.

Easy to use. This criterion is one of the most important for the consumer. It is much easier to purchase an effective, safe drug and “sweep” the apartment according to the instructions than to look for places where they accumulate, track their movements and lay out traps, bait and poison that pets may stumble upon.

Let's look at effective means that are suitable for self-destruction, safe and easy to use. From this list you can choose the drug that is suitable specifically for your situation.

Gels

• Insect repellent gel paste called “Storm” is sold in the form of a syringe, the cost remains in the range of thirty to forty rubles.
• The gel called Exil from German manufacturers, previously manufactured under the name Globol, stands out primarily for its special effectiveness. The price of the paste alone is approximately three hundred rubles. One package is enough for all rooms of a house or apartment. You can usually purchase this product in online stores.
• A gel syringe called “Clean Home” is also a good option. To process twenty square meters, only one package will be enough. After some time, all insects will be destroyed.
• Gel “Combat” is a product that is manufactured in China and is available in the form of a syringe. The product costs about one hundred and fifty rubles.

Lethal drops from these insects are a relatively new product that is made in the form of a liquid gel. The price of the product is sixty rubles. For an apartment with one room, just one package of this product will be enough. It is too early to talk about the effectiveness of this product, since it has not yet had time to prove itself.
