Necessary information about the drug against household pests Tsifox

The human home attracts many insects, because here there is food and favorable conditions for life and reproduction. But such a neighborhood brings a lot of trouble to people, since the appearance of insects leads to damage to food, property, and bites on the body.

Blood-sucking parasites pose a particular danger, since many of them are carriers of infectious diseases. Disinfestation with chemicals helps get rid of insects. One of them is Tsifoks, which has long established itself as an effective remedy.

Advantages and disadvantages of the drug Cifox

The drug Cifox gained popularity due to its positive qualities, which are much more numerous than the disadvantages.
These include: After treating a room with Tsifox, a persistent odor remains for a long time. You should not be afraid of it, since under the influence of oxygen the toxin contained is destroyed.

The disadvantages include the following:

Rules for carrying out Tsifoks treatment indoors

To safely treat a room from unwanted insects, you need to remember some important rules:

1. Carry out wet cleaning in the room.
2. Place food and medicines out of reach of the sprayed solution.
3. Prepare a container for the finished mixture and a sprayer. Ideally, a special spraying apparatus would be suitable.
4. Take care of the personal safety of the person carrying out the processing. He must wear closed clothing, shoes, a scarf, gloves, and a respirator for breathing safety. After the event, you must take a hygienic shower, wash used clothes, and clean your shoes.
5. During the event, be sure to ventilate the room.
6. Do not eat, drink or smoke in the treatment area.
7. 12 hours after the work, wash the room with warm water.

For chemical treatment, you can use a regular sprayer.

Preparation of a solution for the destruction of ixodid ticks

To prepare a solution against ixodid ticks, you need to dilute 5 ml of concentrated emulsion in 1–2 liters of water. The volume of the finished solution is calculated per 1 hectare of the area surface. The rules for preparing the solution are described above.

Rules for processing a land plot

To effectively treat an open area against ticks, you must adhere to the following rules:

Treat the area twice per season: in early spring before planting seedlings (April - early May) and in late autumn after harvesting (late October - November). Choose a dry, warm, windless day. In such weather, ticks are on the surface, making them easier to destroy. Ideally, three days before treatment and three days after it there will be no precipitation in the form of rain or snow. If it rains immediately after using chemicals, the poisons will be washed away and the result will be zero. So check the weather forecast. Perform the treatment no later than 40 days before harvesting. This is necessary so that the chemicals that fall on garden crops have time to be neutralized by rain, watering and plant activity. The danger of poisoning and severe intoxication of the body is high during the first month after treatment. Before the procedure, also remove garden furniture and equipment. On the day of the procedure, exclude children and pets from the area. Don't forget to take care of yourself too. Over the main closed clothing, put on a robe or a special protective suit, a scarf, gloves, and put on high boots or closed shoes. Protect your breathing with a respirator. After work, wash your clothes, shine your shoes and take a hygienic shower. Avoid chemicals getting into water, especially drinking water.

Enter the territory without protection after 3 days. Pay special attention to garden paths, recreation areas and areas near the entrance to the room. Spray any shrubs and trees no more than 1.5 meters high

The above makes no sense: there are no ticks there.

Correct Application

If you have to work with the drug, you need to remember safety. This is a very toxic substance that, if used incorrectly, can harm the health of humans and animals. It is forbidden to use the product undiluted; the concentrated liquid is very toxic. Remember that you should not allow the substance to come into contact with your skin or mucous membranes; toxic fumes are very dangerous.

Treatment of a room consists of several stages, each of which affects efficiency and safety. Therefore, when working, you must follow the instructions for use and adhere to the recommendations. The main stages include preparation of the premises, safety measures for people and animals, drug preparation and processing, and post-procedure activities. Let's look at all the stages in more detail.

Description of the drug

In the bottle, tsifox looks like a liquid with a yellowish tint and a strong specific odor. When diluted, the solution loses its transparency and acquires a white milky color. The drug is almost invisible on the surface after drying, which cannot be said about its smell. The persistent aroma persists for a long time after treatment and it is better to leave the room for a day so as not to inadvertently get poisoned.

The product is usually sold in transparent plastic bottles of 50, 500 and 1000 ml. If you have to treat a one- or two-room apartment, then it is more advisable to buy a small 50 ml bottle. This is quite enough for 1-2 disinsections.

The active ingredient of Cifox is cypermethrin. This is a broad-spectrum insecticide belonging to the second generation pyrethroids. In addition to Cifox, this substance is contained in many other insecticides, for example, in Cucarache, the use of which can be read in the article:

The Zifox bottle contains a 25% solution of cypermethrin. When ingested by arthropods, it paralyzes the nervous system, which leads to the death of insects.

Tsifox helps not only against bedbugs. With its help you can get rid of fleas, cockroaches, midges, flies, ticks, lice and garden pests.

Most often, Tsifox is sold in bottles of 50 and 500 ml

The prepared solution cannot be stored. In this form, tsifox quickly loses its activity, and it must be used no later than 8 hours after dilution.

How to breed?

So, how to breed tsifoks from bedbugs? According to the instructions developed by the Research Institute of Disinfectology of Rospotrebnadzor, the drug is mixed with cold water in the following proportions:

• if the room is heavily infested with insects, take 2 ml of the product per 1 liter of water;
• when the population of bloodsuckers is small, 0.4 ml of insecticide is dissolved in 1 liter.

In the first case, a 0.05% solution is obtained, which acts for a long time after application - 3-4 months. One 50 ml bottle is enough to prepare 25 liters of the composition. This is a lot for treating an apartment, so it is more advisable to use half a bottle - 25 ml per 12.5 liters of water.

The second method can be used when the apartment is infested with insects only slightly. In this case, 4 ml of the drug is taken per 10 liters of water. The result is a 0.01% solution. At this dosage, Tsifox protects against bedbugs for a month.

When diluting, the following precautions must be observed:

• use gloves and protective clothing;
• keep the bottle with the drug low from the surface of the water to avoid splashing and splashing of the product;
• Wear special glasses to protect your eyes;
• Cover your mouth and nose with a respirator.

After pouring the product into water, the solution is stirred for 5 minutes. and pour into a spray bottle.

It is important to remember that the drug retains its properties for only 8 hours, so when treating the room it is advisable to use outside help, or purchase a garden sprinkler

How to use?

The treatment is carried out in protective clothing with the windows open. The drug is toxic to humans. If it enters the respiratory tract or digestive system, it can cause severe poisoning. To avoid this, use respirators and cotton-gauze bandages. The skin and eyes should also be covered with clothing and glasses, as the composition has corrosive properties.

The diluted tsifox is applied using a sprayer to the following surfaces:

• baseboards;
• walls behind paintings;
• sockets;
• shelves;
• cabinets;
• bed frames;
• the inside of the sofas;
• curtains;
• bedspreads;
• walls under peeling wallpaper.

Since Tsifox should be diluted against bedbugs depending on the degree of infestation of the apartment, the consumption rate of the drug depends on its percentage composition. For residential premises it will be as follows:

• 0.01% solution – 50 ml per 1 m2 of poorly absorbent surfaces and 100 ml on highly absorbent surfaces;
• 0.05% - 50 ml per 1m2, regardless of the type of materials.

The drug begins to act within 10 minutes. after use. Insects crawl out of their hiding places and after 20-30 minutes. die. As a rule, re-treatment of the room is not required, since bedbugs hatched from eggs are also exposed to the toxic substance.

Cleaning can be done after 8-12 hours of exposure to the drug. All hard surfaces with which contact is possible are wiped with soap or soda water. Sofas and carpets are vacuumed, curtains, drapes, bedspreads are washed.

Upon completion of disinfestation, the room should be thoroughly ventilated for at least half an hour. The smell will completely disappear in 2-3 days.

• lethargy;
• headache;
• copious amounts of saliva;
• bitterness in the mouth;
• abdominal pain;
• dizziness;
• nausea and vomiting;
• profuse lacrimation;
• redness of the skin, rash.

If symptoms of intoxication appear, you need to:

1. Stop processing.
2. Leave the disinfestation site.
3. Change clothes and wash.

First aid for poisoning

If signs of poisoning appear, immediately take first aid measures:

1. If Tsifox gets into your eyes, rinse them with soda solution: 1 tsp. soda per 200 ml of water.
2. If the product gets into the digestive organs, drink activated carbon or another sorbent - Enterosgel, Polysorb. Call an ambulance.

   
   Activated carbon absorbs poison that enters the body

3. If the drug gets only into the mouth, rinse the cavity with a solution of soda: 1 tsp. for 200 ml of water.
4. If Cifox gets on your skin, remove the product with a cotton swab and wash the area with soap and water.
5. If the insecticide gets into your respiratory system, go outside, rinse your mouth and nose with a soda solution, drink activated carbon: 1 tablet is designed for 10 kg of weight.

Pharmaceutical property

According to the instructions, Tsifox provides high-quality destruction of ants, various types of cockroaches, rats, as well as scabies mites, bedbugs, fleas, larvae, flies, lice. All listed insects are destroyed within 20-25 minutes. The duration of action of the pharmaceutical drug depends on the type of room being treated and the concentration of the emulsion. Basically, the drug lasts from one week to several months.

The residual effect of Cifox is from 1 to 3 months. In an aquatic environment, the residual effect of the drug is 1-3 weeks. As for open nature conditions - from 1 to 6 weeks (when combating midge components).

If a person treats the surface against ixodid ticks, the residual effect of the drug is from one to two months. As a result, after contact with clothing, ixodid breams die, and the acaricidal effect of the product persists for several weeks.

According to Tsifox's reviews, it became clear that the effectiveness of the drug mainly depends on the sensitivity of the arthropod population to its active components.

Some reviews of Tsifox say that when the drug is used to kill insects that have pronounced resistance to peritroids, its insectoacaricidal effect is noticeably reduced.

Composition and release forms

This product is sold only in liquid form. You can purchase it in plastic bottles of 50 ml, as well as bottles of 500 and 1000 ml. The product is additionally packaged in a cardboard box, which contains detailed instructions on the rules of use.

The active component of Cifox is cypermethrin, the mass fraction of which in the product is 25%. It has a contact effect and, when it comes into contact with the body and paws of an insect, blocks nerve impulses going from the brain to the limbs. This causes paralysis of the parasite and then death.

The composition of the Tsifox product also includes additional components: fragrances, emulsifiers, solvents. They mask the specific odor of the active component and promote its uniform distribution in the preparation.

Release forms

Processing instructions on how to breed and recommendations for use for different types of insects

An emulsion is prepared before direct use. Tsifoks is diluted with water, stirring continuously, for about five minutes. The solution is stored for a maximum of eight hours, so you should not make it in advance and for future use.

To treat small areas indoors, you can use a hand sprayer; for summer cottages and adjacent areas, you will need a garden sprayer.

Procedure:

1. Prepare protective equipment (respirator and rubber gloves).
2. Remove food and aquarium. Take the children and animals out. Mow the grass before treating the area for ticks.
3. Dilute the drug concentrate according to the standards given below for each type of insect.
4. Spray surfaces thoroughly, including those where cockroaches, ants, or bed bugs are likely to travel.
5. It is advisable to leave the premises for 8-10 hours. After this time, wash the floors, kitchen cabinets and dishes, and vacuum the upholstered furniture.

To get rid of bedbugs and cockroaches, re-treat after a week. This will allow the newly hatched individuals to be destroyed.

It is convenient to measure the required amount of concentrated product using a syringe.

From cockroaches

Tsifoks is diluted in a ratio of 4 ml per 1 liter of water. The resulting solution is used to spray the areas where cockroaches accumulate, as well as the paths where they were spotted and the routes of entry into the room.

As a rule, it is necessary to treat floors along with baseboards, door thresholds, walls, furniture, ventilation grilles, and shelters in walls.

From bedbugs

Tsifox in an amount of 0.4 ml to 2 ml is diluted in 1 liter of water. The dosage depends on the number of insects. It is imperative to treat the main places where bedbugs can live.

These include sofas and beds. Don’t forget to spray the wallpaper and its areas, the space along windows and doors, ventilation grilles, and baseboards.

From mosquitoes

When exterminating mosquitoes, it is necessary to be guided by the regulations in force in Russia. Mosquito larvae are found in water, but individuals are strictly prohibited from using Zifox in natural bodies of water.

To determine the type of mosquitoes, the timing and number of treatments for certain areas, they resort to the help of entomologists.

In closed reservoirs, use a 0.01% solution of the active substance (0.4 ml of tsifox per 1 liter of water). 10-30 ml per 1 sq.m of water surface is enough. In open reservoirs, use 0.01-0.05% (from 0.4 to 2 ml of tsifox per 1 liter of water) aqueous solutions by spraying over the surface of the water.

To combat adult mosquitoes, 0.01-0.05% (from 0.4 to 2 ml of tsifox per 1 liter of water) solution is used to treat places where they can fly and interfere with humans - tents, houses, commercial buildings.

From flies

Treatment indoors is carried out with a 0.05% solution (2 ml of tsifox per 1 liter of water), outdoors - with a 0.1% solution (4 ml of tsifox per 1 liter of water) by spraying

It is important to treat areas where flies congregate, such as outdoor restrooms and garbage containers.

For fleas

To combat fleas, you can use a solution of fairly low concentration - from 0.01 to 0.1% (from 0.4 to 4 ml of tsifox per 1 liter of water). This solution must be used to treat all floors, baseboards and walls to a height of 1-1.5 m, as well as basements.

From ticks

Ticks are carriers of many diseases, the most famous and dangerous of which is tick-borne encephalitis. Therefore, it is necessary to subject both personal areas and public recreational areas and crowded places - parks, tourist centers, playgrounds - to anti-tick treatment.

Treatment is carried out in good weather, in the absence of forecast precipitation for the next three days.

The area is sprayed with a solution of 0.0625 to 0.3% (from 2.5 to 12 ml of tsifox per 1 liter of water). The denser the vegetation in the area, the greater the consumption of the product.

You can also treat clothes with a solution of Tsifox before going to places potentially infested with ticks and fleas. The concentration of such a solution should be 0.125% of the active substance (5 ml of tsifox per 1 liter of water).

The product is sprayed onto clothing from a distance of 20-50 cm, treating it from the front and back, paying special attention to trousers (since ticks mainly climb onto clothing from below). It is advisable to carry out the treatment of personal items before going into the forest in the open air or in a well-ventilated room

Before wearing, clothes must be dried and aired for at least two hours.

It is advisable to carry out the treatment of personal items before going into the forest outdoors or in a well-ventilated room. Before wearing, clothes must be dried and aired for at least two hours.

Scope of use

Cypermethrin has many positive qualities, so it is used in various fields. In each case, a certain dosage and consumption rate are required. In agriculture, the drug is used to protect vegetables, legumes and cereals. Fruit-bearing bushes and trees are also treated with this product.

The insecticide is aimed at destroying various insect pests:

• aphids;
• moths;
• caterpillars;
• fleas;
• flower beetles;
• leaf roller;
• codling moths;
• drinkers;
• Colorado beetles.

Treatment is carried out by spraying from a sprayer with adjustable droplet size in the stream

At home, bedbugs, cockroaches or fleas often appear, which can also be gotten rid of with Cypermethrin. The product is suitable for disinsection of city apartments, private houses, industrial buildings, hospitals and hospices.

Working solution

After studying the instructions, Cypermethrin is diluted in water in the required proportions. Although the drug is low-toxic, work with it must be carried out using personal protective equipment.

Cypermethrin for bedbugs is used to prepare a solution with a concentration of 0.05%. 5 ml of emulsion is diluted in 1 liter of water at room temperature. Per square meter of treated area you will need 50-100 ml of solution. The volume of product used depends on the absorbent properties of the surface material. The insecticide is sprayed with a spray bottle or sprayed with a paint brush.

Composition against other pests:

1. For fleas: a 0.1% solution is sprayed on the floor, walls and baseboards.
2. Against mosquitoes: a working emulsion of 0.01% is sprayed onto areas where parasites are concentrated, which usually inhabit garbage cans, outside walls of houses and damp places.
3. From ants: the composition of 0.01% is distributed along “ant” paths and other areas with pests.
4. For cockroaches: a 0.1% solution is used to treat not only the main areas of the house, but also pipes and ventilation shafts.
5. Against ticks: Cypermethrin is diluted to a concentration of 0.05%. Per square meter you will need 50 ml of working emulsion. The room is treated completely, not forgetting about heating appliances, thermal communications and furniture. Repeated treatment is carried out after a week.

Wasps and hornets can settle in planted areas and near garbage cans. Insects are lured with sweet fruits, and then a 0.1% composition is sprayed on them. 100-150 ml of product are used per square meter. After possible rain, the treatment is repeated. This procedure should only be performed by experienced people. Beginners are advised to consult a specialist, since wasps can attack in a swarm.

Rules for disinfestation of premises

Cypermethrin must be used strictly according to the instructions. First, you should take into account the area of ​​​​the territory that will need to be treated and calculate the dosage of the drug. The types of insects and environmental conditions in which the solution will be used play an important role.

The room must be isolated from children and animals. The room is cleared of food, dishes, personal hygiene items, aquariums and terrariums. All windows in the room should be open so that it is well ventilated.

When working with the product, you need to wear protective clothing, a respiratory mask, special glasses and a headgear (scarf or plastic cap). The solution is prepared in the proportions recommended by the manufacturer. It is prohibited to exceed the dosage.

The use of cypermethrin will be successful only if the pest concentration areas are known

It is necessary to treat not only those areas where insects are currently located, but also places in which they can hide. It is recommended to spray other surfaces with the product, as pests may migrate after applying the solution.

After the work is completed, leave the room, leaving it to ventilate for 2-3 hours. Then the room is cleared of dead parasites and wet cleaning is carried out using a soap solution with soda.

Instructions for use

The product is suitable for treating premises of all types (apartments, houses, basements, warehouses, hotels, sanatoriums), as well as for treating areas during mosquito infestations and during the period of tick activation.

Solutions are prepared immediately before use. It is necessary to mix water at room temperature with a certain amount of Tsifox concentrate, then stir for 5 minutes.

Then pour the insecticide into sprayers and distribute the substance evenly over all treated surfaces.

The residual effect indoors lasts 1-3 months, and outdoors 1 month.

Below is a table for different types of insects per 1 liter of water.

How to breed Tsifoks from mosquitoes?

The drug Tsifoks is effective for treating mosquitoes and their larvae in basements, closed urban reservoirs (where there is no fish), for killing mosquitoes and their larvae in household plots and cottages.

Under no circumstances should it be used in reservoirs where fish are found, as they will all die, as well as sources of drinking water.

There are two very important points:

• This solution is not suitable for spraying on the body. At a working concentration of 0.01% it can cause irritation, redness and local allergic reactions;
• When sprayed on clothing, Cifox does not repel mosquitoes. They simply die upon contact with the poison, but may manage to bite you.

It is not a mosquito repellent and will not repel them. But if it is used to treat an infected area, for example, a place where fishing will take place, the number of mosquitoes will be reduced significantly.

On an industrial scale, processing begins in the spring. All closed reservoirs, basements, pits, and ditches are processed. Use a 0.01% solution at the rate of 10-30 ml per square meter of area.

When processing sushi, use a 0.01 - 0.05% solution with a consumption rate of 50 -100 ml per square meter of surface to be treated.

If mosquitoes are tormented at the dacha, it is important to spray the entire area with Tsifoks, do not forget about tree hollows and small puddles. It is important that the solution does not get into drinking water

You must understand that Cifox is not selective. All insects affected by it will die. These are both harmful beetles and beneficial bees.

How to kill ticks with Tsifox solution?

Ticks carry Lyme disease or tick-borne encephalitis

Therefore, it is important to treat parks, playgrounds, children’s forest camps and sanatoriums, areas where outbreaks of diseases are observed

The problem becomes especially acute in the spring, when people go outdoors.

Before spraying, be sure to cut all excess and tall grass and then apply the treatment.

Treatment is carried out 3-5 days before visiting this place. The consumption rate is 100 liters per 1 ha. The duration of action of the insecticide is 1 month; in case of heavy rainfall, the period of action is reduced.

There is no point in spraying yourself with Cifox solution if you are going to the forest. Since the drug is not a repellent and is not able to repel ticks.

Breeding Tsifoks from bedbugs

To kill bedbugs, use a solution with a concentration of 0.05%. Consumption rate is 50 ml per square meter. The residual effect lasts 3 months if it is not washed off.

This product is not a panacea for bedbugs and therefore it is important to thoroughly spray all possible surfaces where bedbugs are hiding

Directions for use against cockroaches

To get rid of cockroaches, you need to properly dilute the Tsifox solution. For cockroaches, a 0.1% solution is used. After which it is sprayed at the rate of 50 ml per square meter for non-absorbable surfaces and 100 ml for absorbent ones.

All their habitats and penetrations into the house are being processed.

How to use against fleas, ants, flies?

A 0.05% solution is used.

To kill fleas, treat the floor and walls no higher than 1 meter.

The ants' paths and routes into the house are treated.

If there are flies, first of all, spray their landing sites, as well as windows, walls and mirrors.

3.4. DESTROYING MOSQUITOES:

3.4.1. Destruction of mosquito larvae. In closed reservoirs: when destroying mosquito larvae in breeding areas in closed reservoirs (flooded basements of houses, underground communications, metro tunnels), 0.01% (by Far East) w.e. is used. in an amount of 10-30 ml per 1 m2 of water surface. Before treatment, the water surface must be cleared of debris and its area determined. In basements divided into separate compartments (sections), the water surface area is determined in each compartment and the required amount of product is added accordingly. Basements that are constantly flooded with water and are places of mass breeding of mosquitoes throughout the year are treated according to entomological indications, which are determined by examining reservoirs every 10-15 days after treatment.

In open natural non-fishery reservoirs: treatments are carried out in the spring and summer when mosquito larvae appear in order to prevent or reduce the emergence of the generation. Use 0.01% (according to DV) w.e. in an amount of 100 ml per 1 m2 of water surface, using only the ground method of treatment.

In open nature, to destroy the pre-imaginal stages of mosquitoes, non-fishery non-flowing natural and artificial reservoirs of permanent and temporary existence are subject to treatment - swamps, wet meadows, puddles, hollows in trees, relief depressions, lowland, floodplain, raised bogs, backwaters, reaches in small riverbeds that dry up in summer rivers, reserves along roads, irrigation ditches, pits, ditches, ditches, quarries, trenches, pits, abandoned small irrigation networks, drainages, collectors, rice paddies, irrigation fields, filtration fields, cotton and alfalfa fields. Bird nesting and gathering places should not be treated.

The fight against malaria mosquitoes in populated areas is carried out according to epidemic indications, using selective or barrier treatment. In exceptional cases, continuous processing is allowed. It is not recommended to treat fishery ponds, drinking water sources, as well as reservoirs in the immediate vicinity of children's institutions that can be used for swimming.

Repeated use is recommended when pre-imaginal stages of mosquitoes appear in water bodies. The simultaneous use of other insecticidal agents is not recommended.

3.4.2. Destruction of adult mosquitoes.

To destroy adult mosquitoes, use a 0.01% DV aqueous emulsion of the drug, which is used to irrigate places where insects may be planted and roost: the walls of basements, warehouses, storage facilities, hangars, etc.; as well as coastal vegetation of the above-mentioned water bodies for non-fishery purposes. The destruction of imaginal forms of endophilic populations of malaria mosquitoes is achieved by barrier (covering areas adjacent to water bodies) and focal (separate sample areas) treatments, depending on local conditions, treatment is carried out 2-4 times a year.

The emulsion consumption rate is 50-100 ml/m2, depending on the number and type of surface being treated. Repeated treatments are carried out when winged mosquitoes appear.

1. FIRST AID FOR POISONING

If recommended precautions are violated or accidents occur, poisoning with Tsifox may occur.

Signs of poisoning: unpleasant taste in the mouth, weakness, vomiting, headache, nausea (increased by smoking, eating), abdominal pain, irritation of the respiratory system, excessive salivation.

In case of poisoning through the respiratory tract, the victim is taken out of the work area into fresh air, contaminated clothing is removed, and the mouth is allowed to rinse with water or a 2% solution of baking soda. Then give 1-2 glasses of water with activated carbon (10-15 tablets) to drink.

If the drug is accidentally swallowed, drink several glasses of water and induce vomiting, then rinse the stomach with a 2% solution of baking soda or drink 1-2 glasses of water with activated carbon (10-15 tablets).

Do not induce vomiting or introduce anything into the mouth of a person who has lost consciousness!

In case of accidental contact with eyes, rinse them immediately with a stream of water or a solution of baking soda for several minutes. If irritation of the mucous membrane of the eyes occurs, a 30% solution of sodium sulfate is instilled behind the eyelid; if pain occurs, a 2% solution of novocaine is instilled.

If the skin is contaminated, remove drops of the emulsion with a cotton swab or rag without rubbing; then wash the contaminated area with soap and water.

After providing first aid, the victim should consult a doctor. Treatment is symptomatic.

6. STORAGE

CIFOX should be stored in warehouses in tightly closed containers, away from fire and heating devices, separately from food products and medicines. Do not store the prepared aqueous emulsion. Storage temperature from -10 °C to + 25 °C.

1. PHYSICAL-CHEMICAL AND ANALYTICAL METHODS OF QUALITY CONTROL

In accordance with the requirements of regulatory documentation, the “Cifox” product is characterized by the following parameters: appearance - a strong yellow liquid with a specific odor; indicator of the concentration of hydrogen ions (pH) in the working 0.5% aqueous emulsion - 5.0-7.5; mass fraction of cypermethrin, amounting to (25.0 ± 2.0)%. Quality control of the product is carried out according to these parameters. Appearance determined by visual inspection of the sample.

The concentration of hydrogen ions is determined in accordance with GOST 29188.2.

The mass fraction of cypermethrin is determined by GLC.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

Qualitative and quantitative determination of cypermethrin in the “Cifox” product is carried out by gas-liquid chromatography on an LKhM-80 or “Tsvet” chromatograph with a flame ionization detector (FID) and a metal column measuring 1 m x 3 mm, filled with chromatograph with 5% SE-30 .

Quantitative assessment of cypermethrin is carried out by the method of absolute calibration of standard solutions of cypermethrin in carbon tetrachloride with a concentration range of 1.0-2.0 mg/cm3 using a graphical dependence of peak heights (or areas) on cypermethrin concentration. A reference sample with a known content of cypermethrin (FMC, USA, 92.5% of the main substance) is used as a standard.

The determination of cypermethrin is carried out in parallel in standard and test solutions.

CONDUCTING THE ANALYSIS

Preparation of the initial standard solution of cypermethrin:

To prepare the initial standard solution, a sample of cypermethrin of about 0.1 g (in terms of 100% substance), weighed to the nearest 0.0002 g, is dissolved in 15 cm3 of carbon tetrachloride, the solution is quantitatively transferred into a volumetric flask with a capacity of 25 cm3 and adjusted to the mark solvent.

The concentration of cypermethrin in the original standard solution is 4.0 mg/cm3. By appropriate dilution, calibration standard solutions with cypermethrin concentrations of 2.0 and 1.0 mg/cm3 are obtained.

The resulting standard solutions are chromatographed at least 3 times. The calibration graph is shown in coordinates: cypermethrin concentration - height or area of ​​the chromatographic peak.

Preparation of the analyzed solution:

To prepare the analyzed solution, a sample of the “Tsifox” product of about 0.2 g, weighed on an analytical balance with an accuracy of 0.0002 g, is dissolved in 15 cm3 of carbon tetrachloride, the solution is quantitatively transferred into a volumetric flask with a capacity of 25 cm3 and adjusted to the mark with a solvent. The resulting solution is chromatographed at least 3 times.

Determination of cypermethrin is carried out in 3 samples of the “Cifox” product

CHROMATOGRAPHY CONDITIONS

• Column temperature - 250 °C;
• Evaporator temperature - 270 °C;
• Detector temperature - 260 °C;
• The volume of the injected sample is 1 µl;
• The sensitivity of the electrometer scale is 5x10′10a;
• The retention time of cypermethrin is 5 minutes 50 seconds.

PROCESSING OF ANALYSIS RESULTS.

The mass fraction of cypermethrin (X) in percent is calculated using the formula:

Cx x Vx

X= ————————— xYO, where

Mx

Cx is the concentration of cypermethrin found from the calibration graph, mg/cm3,

Vx—volume of the analyzed solution, cm3;

Mx is the mass of a sample of the “Tsifoks” product, g.

The result of the analysis is taken as the arithmetic mean of 3 parallel determinations, the absolute discrepancy between which does not exceed the permissible value of 0.6%.

The relative total error is ± 7.0% with a confidence level of P - 0.95.

How to properly poison bedbugs with Tsifoks

The drug is very strong. Most parasites die within 30 minutes. During the first 3 hours of exposure, the entire colony of insects is destroyed. However, there are still eggs left. Unfortunately, Tsifoks cannot cope with them. The dense shell of the egg protects the embryo from the action of the poison. The bedbugs continue to develop as if nothing had happened. This takes approximately 2 weeks under favorable conditions. After this time, new parasites appear. When initially treated with a 0.05% concentrate, the effect of the drug lasts for 4 months. New parasites

After birth, they immediately become infected, without having time to give life to new offspring. However, to be on the safe side, manufacturers recommend re-treatment after 10–14 days.

It is mandatory to disinfect the apartment again if a 0.01% concentrate was initially used. Every day the activity of the insecticide weakens under the influence of sunlight and room temperature. A protective layer on surfaces may not be sufficient to kill insects. Moreover, a low concentration of poison increases the risk of bed bugs developing resistance to cypermethrin. A small dose of the drug acts on them similarly to a vaccination. The bugs will get sick and become even stronger. Then it will be more difficult to deal with them. You will need a product based on another insecticide. And the point is not in the effectiveness of Tsifoks, but in the incorrect disinfestation procedure.

Final cleaning should be carried out no earlier than 1 month. Immediately after disinfestation, wash only those places. Where a person's hand can touch. The insecticide should remain on other surfaces. You will have to process the entire room along the perimeter up and down. Bed bugs even have the ability to climb onto the ceiling and from there fall onto a sleeping person.

What do you need to know about the Cifox cockroach repellent?

The pest control drug Tsifox is a concentrated solution of a potent substance known as cypermethrin. This product also consists of fragrance, emulsifier and solvent. Therefore, it is more correct to call the solution an emulsion concentrate.

As a rule, Tsifoks is a transparent liquid, characterized by a pungent odor and a yellowish tint. This product is sold in polymer bottles. Their capacity can be different - from fifty milliliters. Sometimes you can find liter jars of this drug. They are most often used by specialists.

“Important: Cypermethrin is a potent insecticide classified as a pyrethroid. Most often, Persian chamomile is used to make it. This substance can block the nerve cells of cockroaches. As a result, the Prussians quickly die. Today this insecticide is considered the most effective for baiting parasites.”

The room must be treated using personal protective equipment.

Instructions for use of the drug

To combat ticks, it is important to breed Tsifoks strictly according to the instructions, otherwise:

• it will not be possible to eliminate pests;
• pests will continue to multiply and attack people as well as pets;
• the risks of the spread of dangerous diseases will not decrease.

The manufacturers of the substance have developed detailed instructions, which state that the drug is needed:

Handle with protective gloves and make sure that it does not come into contact with the skin.

Store in a place that:

• prevents exposure to sunlight;
• will be inaccessible to children and pets;
• There will be a minimum distance of one meter from food and drink storage areas.

Important: “Zifox” is included in the group of flammable substances, so the bottle with this substance cannot be placed near a stove, fire, heating devices or healing devices.

Use within the period indicated on the package.

Note: if you dilute a product that has expired, you will not be able to get rid of parasites, and most importantly, the drug can cause considerable harm to health.

How to breed Tsifoks against ticks?

In order to remove Cymphox ticks, it is supposed to be properly bred. Recommended:

1. Take a clean plastic bucket.

2. Pour 5 liters of water at room temperature into it.

3. Put rubber gloves on your hands.

Advice: if a person is too sensitive to chemical odors, then it would be a good idea to dilute the drug in a special face mask.

4. Take a bottle of the substance and carefully remove the cap. 5. Pour a certain amount of product into the prepared water, which depends on the concentration:

5. Pour a certain amount of product into the prepared water, which depends on the concentration:

• if it is 0.1%, then two milliliters is enough;
• at 0.05% you will need to add 10 milliliters;
• 0.01% needs 10 milliliters.

Note: the amount is based on five liters of water.

6. Stir the prepared mixture with a wooden stick.

After this, the prepared “Tsifoks” can be poured into a spray bottle and begin processing the required area.

Rules for carrying out Tsifoks treatment indoors

In the case where ticks are supposed to be removed from the premises, a number of rules must be followed:

1. 1 – 1.5 hours before treatment, wash the floor in the house or apartment and wipe off the dust with a damp cloth.
2. Make sure all food and drinks are put away in the refrigerator or cupboard.
3. Put medications in the first aid kit.
4. Make sure that there are no people in the room, especially children, or pets.

Important: “Tsifoks” can lead to the death of fish, so treating rooms where aquariums are located is unacceptable.

When all the preparatory stages are completed and all safety rules are followed, the person is required to:

wear clothes that completely cover the entire body;

Tip: ideally, the person will be wearing pants, a long-sleeved jacket, socks, a scarf and glasses.

• put on rubber gloves and pick up a spray bottle;
• Process the premises within 1.5 - 2 minutes.

Note: it is important to ensure that the product gets onto all surfaces, and not just sprayed in one place.

When the work is finished, the person should take off his clothes and take a shower.

An important point: after 10 - 11 hours, the treated room needs to be ventilated and also wet cleaned.

Rules for processing a land plot

Treatment of land plots follows identical rules as spraying indoors, only in this case the person is required to:

1. Make sure that all people and pets have left the area where spraying will take place.
2. Spray the prepared “Tsifoks” on:

bushes;

An important point: there is no need to spray trees and bushes above 1.5 meters, since there are no ticks at a higher distance.

• garden paths;
• benches;
• areas near the entrance to the house, barns, bathhouses and other buildings.

Note: after spraying outdoors, ticks will die within three days.

Land plots should be cultivated:

• in dry weather;
• when there is no wind;
• in the morning;
• at least 1.5 months before harvest.

It is important to know: that if it rains after spraying, the ticks will not be destroyed, therefore, the procedure will have to be repeated again, but when all the precipitation has ended.

Security measures

Safety precautions when using Tsifoks:

First aid for poisoning

First aid for Cifox poisoning:

1. If the substance enters the body
   , the symptoms of poisoning will be as follows: attacks of nausea, bitterness in the mouth, dizziness, weakness, abdominal pain, vomiting. All these symptoms are aggravated by eating or smoking. With this method of poisoning, it is necessary to rinse the stomach with a saline solution: 1 liter of water per 0.5 teaspoon of salt. After the stomach is cleansed, you should immediately consult a doctor.
2. Poisoning after inhalation of solution vapors.
   In this case, take the victim out of the room where the disinfestation took place into fresh air, take off the clothes in which the work was carried out, and put on fresh ones. After this, give the victim activated carbon to drink at the rate of 1 tablet per 10 kg of weight.
3. When the concentrate or solution gets into your eyes
   , you should immediately rinse your eyes with a soda solution: 2 grams of soda per 100 ml of water. If rinsing does not help, you can instill albucid.

“We have always used fertilizers and top dressing in our garden. The neighbor said he was soaking the seeds using new fertilizer. The seedlings grow strong and strong.

We ordered and followed the instructions. Wonderful results! We didn't expect this! We harvested a wonderful harvest this year, and now we will always use only this product. I recommend trying it.”

Tsifox is a potent anti-cockroach drug that destroys pests quickly and efficiently

. Insects that live in the house cause a lot of trouble and trouble. They can carry various diseases, pollute the environment and even bite. The fight against cockroaches has been going on for a long time, but they still continue to live and reproduce.

The cockroach repellent Tsifox contains cypermethrin concentrate. This is a very strong poisonous substance. In addition, the insecticide contains a solvent, fragrance and emulsifier. In its composition and consistency it is an emulsion.

Tsifoks is a liquid with a yellowish transparent tint and a pungent strong odor. Sold in polymer bottles. It can be produced in different volumes - from 50 ml to 1 l. The drug in small doses is recommended for treating apartments, and large volumes are intended for disinsection of public places, such as children's and medical institutions, shops, and vehicles.

Due to the fact that the concentration of the insecticidal agent is very high, it must be diluted with water before treatment. In order to destroy cockroaches in a 2-room apartment, the minimum amount of product is enough - 50 ml.

The substance begins to act approximately 30 minutes after treatment. Toxic substances remain active for 3 months. This applies to a closed space, such as an apartment. If the treatment was carried out in open space, the effect lasts 6 weeks, and in water it is reduced to a month.

The product can eliminate cockroaches in one treatment, but if the room is heavily infested, repeated treatment may be required.

The drug is sold in specialized or hardware stores, as well as on Internet sites.

The insecticidal product is accompanied by detailed instructions for use, which describe how to dilute the drug, its composition and precautions.

Precautions and side effects

When removing ticks using Tsifoks, you need to remember precautions. In this regard, manufacturers recommend:

In this regard, manufacturers recommend:

1. Dilute the drug only while wearing a protective mask and gloves.
2. Spraying should be done in closed clothes.
3. Be sure to take a shower and wash your hair with shampoo after disinfection is completed.
4. If the substance gets on the skin, immediately wash the area of ​​the body with water and a household mule.

An important point: in situations where a person feels unwell while using Tsifoks, one should immediately contact a medical facility without hesitation.

In general, when the drug is used strictly according to the instructions, there are no side effects. In exceptional cases it happens:

• Allergic reaction to a substance.
• Burns on the skin if the drug gets on the epidermis.
• Death of bees.

Note: bees may not tolerate the treatment of areas with this substance if it was sprayed no less than 3 - 4 meters from the hive.

Continuation of the pincer attack.

Important: flares do not disappear after spraying if all recommendations for using Tsifoks have not been followed.

Precautionary measures

It is necessary to use Tsifoks for disinfestation in the house while observing personal safety measures. Before preparing the solution and carrying out the treatment, you need to wear goggles, gloves, a respirator and clothing that covers the exposed areas of the body as much as possible.

Respirator

You can work continuously with the product for no more than 3 hours, and the windows must be open. During disinfestation, it is prohibited to drink, smoke, or eat food. If a solution or suspension gets on the skin or mucous membranes, immediately wash off the drug with a stream of water.

Failure to comply with personal safety rules can cause poisoning. If you feel nausea, headache, general weakness, or dizziness, you need to go out into the fresh air and take activated charcoal.

Precautions when working with Tsifoks

Cypermethrin is a rather dangerous substance for humans. Therefore, if you use Cifox indoors and without special protective clothing and a mask, poisoning may occur. You need to treat the room with the windows open. Upon completion of work, you need to leave the room for ventilation for 30 minutes. You should return to the apartment no earlier than one day after spraying. Considering the high toxicity of the drug, you need to be extremely careful with it, and if you still lack self-confidence, you should entrust this work to a professional.

Before use, you must read the instructions as carefully as possible.

It lists all the precautions that a person must take into account. It is worth noting that a protective mask is needed not only in order not to inhale the poison, but also because of the very pungent odor that the solution, and especially the concentrate, gives off

The unpleasant aroma is one of the main disadvantages of Tsifoks. After treatment, the drug will remind itself of itself for a very long time with the smell of solvent.

Pregnant women and people prone to allergies should not spray the room with Tsifoks. Before starting work, you need to put on protective clothing that will cover your entire body. It is advisable that things be made of water-repellent fabric. In addition, you need to put on shoe covers over your shoes, and then gloves with a mask or respirator.

Tsifoks in a closed room and without special protective clothing and a mask, poisoning may occur

Under no circumstances should you eat while working. It is also better to drink in another room and after the work clothes have been removed. After thorough treatment, you must take a shower. It is advisable to use laundry soap, as it best neutralizes the effect of Cifox.

Experts do not recommend using this drug in a child’s room. For such a room it is better to take a less toxic drug. In other rooms that will be treated with Tsifoks, it is necessary to carry out high-quality treatment of all surfaces after 12 hours. Fabric elements must be vacuumed and, if possible, washed. In another couple of hours you will be able to return to the premises.

The Cifox remedy for cockroaches and bedbugs has a long-lasting effect. Therefore, cockroaches, ants or bedbugs that do not die immediately will be gradually destroyed over the next 20 days.

Preparing the room for processing

Before processing housing, you need to carry out preparatory work:

• carry out wet cleaning of the room: wipe the dust, vacuum the carpets, wash the floor;
• remove all existing cobwebs;
• move furniture away from the walls by 30–40 cm to free access for processing;
• remove things from surfaces: vases, photographs, souvenirs, keyboard, books, etc.;
• Also remove all hygiene items from the bathroom: toothbrushes, sponges, towels;
• remove bedding, clothes, shoes from the internal shelves of closets;
• remove all bedding from the beds and place the mattress in an upright position;
• remove paintings, mirrors and other objects from the walls;
• Pack food and kitchen utensils tightly into containers;
• Wrap household appliances in plastic film;
• if you have an aquarium or terrarium, take care of its inhabitants: a small one can be taken out of the home, and a bulky one can be securely covered, turn off the filter and compressor;
• all animals, children and other family members not involved in processing should leave the premises;
• persons who will work with the insecticide must take care of personal protection;
• set the windows to ventilation mode;
• After treatment, leave the room without closing the windows.

During the disinfestation process, it is important to prevent the insecticide from entering the respiratory system.

Activities after insecticide treatment

Actions after spraying the drug:

• ventilate the room for at least half an hour;
• carry out wet cleaning 8–12 hours after completion of treatment;
• use protective clothing and gloves;
• Surfaces that will come into contact (cabinet shelves, window sills, door frames, etc.) must first be wiped to remove the drug initially, and then washed with soapy water and soda;
• Places that do not pose a risk of contact with insecticide (the back of furniture, behind doorways and baseboards, etc.) should be washed only after all parasites have died.

Storage of the drug

Tsifoks is stored in a production bottle with a tightly closed lid away from fire and heating devices. The drug should be kept separate from food and not given to children. Permissible storage temperature is from -10°C to +25°C.

Instructions for use

Pest and parasite control will be successful if the concentration of the finished composition is observed. To prepare the solution you will need Tsifox emulsion and clean water. Accuracy, accuracy, correct calculation of the volume of insecticide and liquid are prerequisites for the most effective action of the composition.

Important! During disinfestation, it is important to follow the rules to prevent poisoning and allergic reactions.

Fighting cockroaches

You will need a solution with a concentration of 0.1%. Spray the prepared liquid throughout the room where mustachioed pests are found. To process 1 sq. m, 50 ml of solution is enough.

Destruction of ants, scabies mites, fleas, bedbugs

Parasites die from a solution of weaker concentration - it is enough to prepare Tsifox 0.05%. Spraying of the composition is carried out using a sprayer of the “Rosinka” type.

Careful treatment of areas where harmful insects accumulate is necessary. 12 hours after disinfestation, the remnants of the potent product must be removed with a damp cloth and soap solution.

Anti-fly treatment

The recommended concentration is 0.01% for the drug Cifox. Dilute the emulsion according to the instructions, and spray the areas where flies accumulate with the working solution.

When treating the local area, it is important to spray the product near trash cans and toilets. Solution concentration – 0.1%

The optimal time for disinfestation is summer. One procedure is enough for a noticeable effect. Consumption of insecticidal and acaricidal agent – ​​100 ml / 1 sq. m regardless of the conditions (indoors or in the yard).

Mosquito control

Near open water bodies where there is no industrial fish farming, a concentration of 0.01% is sufficient (ground-based treatment is carried out). In underground communications and basements, pest control specialists use prepared liquid of the same strength. Consumption – 100 ml of working solution based on the drug Tsifoks per 1 sq. m. territory.

General characteristics of insectoacaricide

An effective drug developed and produced domestically, which has been on the market for more than 15 years. The Tsifox product has a wide range of effects on synanthropic insects - cockroaches, ticks, bed bugs, ants and other parasites. The insecticide is a concentrated yellowish liquid with a specific pungent odor. It is packaged in dark plastic containers with a volume of 50 to 1000 ml.

The active component of Cifox is cypermethrin (25%). It has a neuroparalytic effect on cockroaches and other types of pests. Penetrating into the body of the Prussians through the chitinous shell and natural openings, the poison provokes paralysis and death of the parasite. Approximately half an hour after disinfestation of the premises, not a single living individual remains in it.

The composition contains additional substances - emulsifiers, solvent, fragrance and stabilizer. Pyrethroid is dangerous for parasitic insects; its effect on warm-blooded representatives is minimal if precautions are taken. The duration of exposure of the product to pests is determined by the concentration of the drug Tsifoks in the working solution. On average, in a treated room, it remains effective for 3 months.

Important!

Cypermethrin is one of the most effective insecticides, made from Persian chamomile. It belongs to the group of pyrethroids that block the nerve cells of parasites. Analogues - Raptor, Clean House, Fas, Raid, Dichlorvos, Yurax. All these products contain cypermethrin.

Principle of action on pests

The drug acts on pests according to the following principle:

• When sprayed, “Tsifoks” gets on the outer surface of walls, floors, furniture and other objects, as well as on trees or foliage if land was sprayed.
• After this, a chemical substance enters the body of ticks and other parasites, upon contact with treated objects, which instantly causes paralysis in the parasites.
• Ticks and other insects die, and in addition, the treated areas remain protected from pest attacks for a long time.

An important point: you should know that this product can kill not only the most dangerous ticks, but also bees, so spraying this product near the hive is unacceptable.

Using Tsifoks against bed bugs, rat mites and cockroaches

Treatment of the premises with Tsifoks to destroy ticks and cockroaches:

1. Wear protective clothing.
2. Prepare the solution according to the table (see above).
3. Start processing from the room farthest from the exit from the room.
4. Apply the product to baseboards, borders, cracks in walls and furniture, corners, walls up to 20 cm from the floor or to the level of laid pipes, door slopes, etc.
5. Also spray on window openings, areas where wallpaper is coming off, and ventilation grilles.
6. Spray generously those areas of the floor where chairs, sofas, etc. are located.
7. When spraying the product on furniture, pay attention to the backs and bottoms.
8. Apply the product to the mattress on all sides. Do not treat bedding and pillows.
9. Pay special attention to beds, since bedbugs prefer to be located closer to the food source.
10. Spray the solution on all surfaces, shelves, niches, floors, carpets.

For effective disinfestation results, it is important to treat all possible places where parasites and pests accumulate.

A preparation with a high content of insecticide should also be used if there are a lot of absorbent surfaces in the house (this includes not only upholstered furniture, but also plywood, unpainted wood, textile curtains and drapes).

Important details:

• treat upholstered furniture and sleeping areas well against bed bugs, and in this case apply the product to the walls up to 1 m in height;
• To prevent cockroaches, carefully treat the kitchen stove area, the wall and cracks behind the sink, and the food waste collection area.

Reviews

Irina, Voronezh

I used Tsifox to fight cockroaches at my dacha. I was very pleased with the result. I liked the long lasting effect. The presence of the smell indicated that the product was still working, so the pests would not return. It is also worth noting that, along with cockroaches, mosquitoes and flies have disappeared. Even after I washed the room, insects do not appear in the house. For several months now, nothing has interfered with our family’s summer vacation.

Andrey, Samara

For a long time I was looking for a suitable remedy to finally get rid of cockroaches in the apartment. The drugs I used before were ineffective or only gave a partial effect. A friend who works in a special company that deals with baiting insects recommended Tsifox. She said that their company has been using this product for a long time, and it shows excellent results. I decided to try it too. I did everything according to the instructions, and the cockroaches disappeared. Quite a lot of time has passed, and there are still no insects in the apartment. I was pleased with the result.

Mode of application

For different types of pests, the percentage of Cyfox content should be different. So, to get rid of ants, ticks and bed bugs you need an aqueous solution of 0.05%, and to kill fleas, flies and other more tenacious insects - 0.1%.

The solution is prepared as follows:

1. Dilute the required amount of concentrate in tap water, stirring constantly.
2. Use only freshly prepared solution: it loses its effectiveness after 8 hours.
3. Pour the solution into a container with a spray bottle and treat those surfaces where insects live. You can also use brushes or any clean rags for work.
4. Repeated use is allowed only 2 weeks after initial treatment with the solution.

Destruction of cockroaches

Having prepared a solution at the rate of 1 mg of emulsion per 1/4 liter of water, treat all surfaces where insects live. You also need to treat the places where they appear in the room (cracks in the walls, ventilation and sewer pipes, baseboards). For each square meter, use 50 to 100 ml of solution.

Destruction of bedbugs

This solution will require 1 mg of concentrate and 2 glasses of water. The solution should be used to treat baseboards and all cracks in the walls, even the smallest ones, since larvae may already be deposited there. Also, don't forget about the underside of your rugs. The consumption rate is the same as for fighting cockroaches.

Destruction of ants

The concentration of the drug is the same as for bedbugs (1 mg/500 ml). Treat all places where ants may accumulate and their routes of movement.

Destruction of fleas

An aqueous solution of the same concentration as for ants with bedbugs. It can be used to treat any surface. The only difference is that on surfaces that absorb well, it is necessary to apply 2 times more solution or increase its concentration.

You need to treat cracks in the walls, baseboards, carpets, paths and rugs at the entrance. If the basement is being processed, you should first clear it of trash and debris, and only then carry out disinfestation.

Killing flies

To combat flies indoors, use a 0.01% solution. Treat windows, glass and window sills.

If the room is cluttered, there are a large number of flies, and for the duration of action of Tsifox, a 0.05% solution should be used. To treat trash cans, dumpsters, garbage chambers, a more concentrated solution (0.1%) should be used, the consumption will be 100 ml/m2.

Fighting rat mites

An aqueous solution is prepared in a proportion of 1 ml per half liter of water. It is necessary to treat not only the places where rodents enter the room, but also the surfaces where they can be, such as baseboards, furniture legs, walls along baseboards, floors.

Destruction of wasps

Add 1 ml of concentrate to a glass of water and spray wasp nests or the edges of containers they often visit.

Wasp nests that are located in open space should be treated directly (by spraying into the center of the nest) from a spray bottle, and those nests that are out of reach can be treated as available.

The treatment is carried out either early in the morning or late in the evening, when all the wasps have flown to the nest.

This drug can also be used against.

Take care of your protection, you should not use perfume, there should be protection on your hands, neck and head, it is better to wear clothes in calm, soft colors. When the wasps leave their nest, it should be knocked down or cut off, wrapped in an airtight bag and burned.

Destruction of scabies mites and lice

Prepare a solution of 0.01%. Wipe down all surfaces with which the sick person has come into contact (door handles, beds, couches in the waiting room, floors, tables, chairs and other objects).

The solution can be used in medical rooms (wards, in the waiting room, in the corridors of the isolation ward) and in domestic premises. After treatment with Tsifoks, half an hour later you can carry out wet cleaning with a soda solution at a ratio of 1:1.

Destruction of mosquitoes

1 mg of solution is diluted in 2.5 liters of water and sprayed into places where larvae can be hatched (barrels, garden ponds and other wet places), as well as habitats of already fledged insects.

To get rid of mosquito larvae in ponds and ditches with standing water, you should use a solution prepared at the rate of 30-100 ml per m2. It is prohibited to treat wells, flowing reservoirs and agricultural ponds.

Destruction of fledged mosquitoes: spray the places where mosquitoes are most likely to hide from the daytime heat: basements, sheds and other buildings in shady places and near water bodies, window and door frames.

Directions for use and dosage

The acaricidal drug is diluted based on the degree of contamination of the premises and the sensitivity of the population to the substances. To get rid of ants, the solution is used in the dosage: 2 ml per 1 liter of water. To disinfect ticks, 6 ml of emulsion is diluted in the same amount of liquid. The liquid is poured into the sprayer and the entire area is treated. A small brush is used to disinfect hard-to-reach areas.

How to breed Tsifoks

You should follow the dosage given in the instructions for the drug. Diluted with running water. The solution must be used immediately after its preparation. The emulsion is stirred for several minutes to evenly distribute the active substance. After this, the liquid is poured into prepared devices for processing. All work with this product is carried out in special clothing.

Tsifoks from bedbugs

The effectiveness and long-term residual effect of the drug helps to cope not only with adult individuals, but also with bedbugs that have not even hatched from the eggs. The prepared solution is applied to cracks and holes in walls and floors, window sills, the back of furniture, bed frames, carpets

After disinfestation, it is important to thoroughly wash all surfaces and fabric items to avoid poisoning. The premises must be ventilated for at least one hour

Tsifoks from cockroaches

Cockroaches die within 30 minutes after the start of treatment. In some cases, repeated disinfestation may be required. If the room is heavily infested with cockroaches, dilute 2 ml of the product per liter of water. Not only places where insects accumulate are processed, but also all possible surfaces of their movement, including sockets, electrical appliances, and the back of carpets.

Treatment against flies and mosquitoes

For this type of insect, a 0.1% emulsion solution is used. If you are treating a summer cottage, be sure to spray near the toilet and trash cans. It is better to carry out pest control in the summer months. It is allowed to use in water bodies if there is no commercial fish farming on them. In this case, a weak concentration solution is also used.

Mechanism of action

• Thanks to the active substance, the destructive effect on the cockroach occurs almost instantly. This allows you to quickly destroy large colonies. Another advantage is the complex impact. Thus, the drug can penetrate not only through the chitinous shell, but also act through the digestive tract. The substance enters the intestines along with food or while the insect cleans itself.
• The substance is most active in the first days after application, but the effect decreases gradually, so the poison can work for three months. But conditions and external factors are also important. If the drug is kept indoors, it has the longest shelf life. In the open air it shrinks. Also, the time will be reduced due to water getting on it.
• If we talk about customer reviews, then as practice shows, one use of Cyflox allows you to get rid of a small number of insects. In the case where the premises are very heavily infected, repeated disinfestation is necessary.

Flaws

Despite the obvious advantages, Cifox also has some disadvantages:

• before use, the product should be properly prepared by diluting it with water in the required proportions;
• it is extremely important to follow the instructions exactly and observe the dosage;
• special attention should be paid to precautionary measures, since Cifox has a fairly high toxicity;
• there is a possibility of addiction. In this case, when repeated treatment, insects will not react to the drug;
• an unpleasant specific odor that will persist for some time after treatment.
