Additional tips and tricks
The most common mistake of most summer residents is preparing an insecticidal solution in double volume. The remainder is left for the next day, thinking that its effectiveness will continue, but this is not the case. Use the composition immediately after dilution, and there is no need to prepare a large volume at once.
Useful tips:
- If it rains, postpone treatment until tomorrow. Ideal weather is sunny and calm.
- Be sure to wear a waterproof cape and respirator. "Tanrek" has level III toxicity.
- It is better to dispose of the remaining insecticidal composition; it is no longer suitable for next use. If you hate to throw it away, you can give it to your neighbor.
By following all these recommendations, it will be possible to increase productivity and minimize the appearance of various insects. "Tanrek" is an effective remedy against aphids, adults, whiteflies and other garden pests.
Operating principle
The active substance included in the drug Tanrek binds the nerve receptors of the central nervous system of insects, as a result of which paralysis begins in pests, and then death. Due to paralysis, these “harmful” bugs cannot eat, therefore, from the moment the poison penetrates their body, they become harmless to garden and vegetable crops.
There are two lines of this drug:
- Tanrek, VRK against aphids, whiteflies - effectively affects these pests on various garden and vegetable crops;
- Tanrek, VRK from the Colorado potato beetle.

When using it, be sure to read the instructions, since if the prescribed dosages are not followed, side effects may occur on plant crops.

The drug Tanrek: reviews of use
Elena, 45 years old, Moscow region: I have been treating tomatoes and cucumbers in my greenhouse with Tanrek for several seasons, dealing with whiteflies and aphids. In this case, one spraying is enough for these “harmful” insects to die. This drug was recommended to me by a neighbor at my summer cottage, who treats not only vegetable crops with this insecticide, but also fruit trees and berry bushes.
Natalya, 50 years old, Saratov region: I usually use the Tanrek insecticide to treat garden crops as a last resort - when the number of pests is too large. But I can say that despite the number of parasites, this drug kills them all at the same time. The first signs of poisoning in pests appear within 3-4 hours, and they die within about a day.
Nikolay, 38 years old, Volgograd region: My wife and I have a huge garden plot where we grow potatoes for sale. The most difficult period is when the Colorado potato beetle attacks our potatoes. On such a plantation it is impossible to collect it by hand. We tried different products, but Tanrek turned out to be the best - in one treatment this insecticide destroys adult Colorado potato beetles and their larvae. It’s easy to dilute the product and spray it – we usually manage to treat the area in one day, taking a break during hot weather.
