Features of the insecticide
The drug in question is the latest development of Russian scientists.
The composition is created in such a way that it acts on the insect at any stage of its development. It is known that bedbug eggs and larvae are protected by a special chitinous layer and are difficult to influence. “Medilis anticlop” (reviews confirm this) is capable of destroying not only adult individuals, but also affects their offspring. A situation often arises when parasites develop strong immunity to an insecticide. The remedy for bedbugs “Medilis anticlop” is not persistently addictive, so it can be used repeatedly with equal success. Thanks to this, the drug causes a lasting effect, it is recognized as the most effective.
What is an insecticide
Medilis Antiklop is produced by the MediLIS company, which produces products designed to kill insects of various types. There are about 60 products in the range, some of them are used more often than others. Not all products are designed to kill bedbugs.
Medilis Antiklop is popular; reviews of the product are in most cases positive. The drug is available in the form of a spray. The bottle contains a significant dose of toxic substances. This form of release provides the best effect
“Medilis antiklop”: description of the product
The drug is available in a convenient spray format, which is completely ready for use and does not require dilution. It is a slightly yellowish liquid. It has been proven that once on a surface, the spray retains its unique toxic properties for up to two months. As a result, the possibility of reproduction and appearance of large individuals in the room is completely excluded. As soon as a new insect emerges from the eggs, it immediately becomes infected and dies.
If you directly treat the larvae, they will no longer mature and the bug will not hatch from them. The product is capable of removing not only several nests of parasites, but also large populations. Customer reviews available on “Medilis Antiklop” prove its effectiveness in case of large infestation of a living space and in a single case of their occurrence.
The drug, as already mentioned, is a development of the Medilis company, whose products have long been known for their effectiveness and have proven themselves to be completely effective. It is known that the company’s products are used even by professional disinfectors, whose services are used by hotel owners, as well as those living in hostels and apartments of old housing stock.
Composition and properties
"Medilis Cyper" is a translucent emulsion with a yellowish tint, where the active component is cypermethrin (25%). A peritroid insecticide can destroy the chitinous covering of parasites through touching it, and also block nerve impulses when entering the intestines.
In addition, the product consists of emulsifiers and fragrances, which does not block the strong unpleasant odor.
The product can be packaged in:
- 1 ml ampoules;
- 10 ml bottles;
- 50-100ml plastic bottles.
A solution containing 0.01-0.5% of the main substance is prepared from the concentrated emulsion. It is good for exactly 8 hours after mixing the components. An unopened container with the drug can be stored for 5 years.
The broad insectoacaricidal effect of "Medilis Cyper" is aimed at destroying fleas, lice, bed bugs, ants, flies, mosquitoes, cockroaches, ixodid and scabies mites.
After applying the solution to the surface, the effect can last up to 3 months. The higher the concentration of the drug in the solution, the longer the active substance does not lose its properties. In water, the effect is not so long, limited to 3 weeks. If a set of measures is taken against ixodid ticks, the drug can have an effect on them for more than a month.
The degree of toxicity in terms of impact on the body of people and animals is not high (III). Upon contact with skin, it becomes class IV low-hazard.
Advantages of Medils Cyper:
- long residual effect;
- not affected by ultraviolet rays;
- wide spectrum of action;
- can be used for both prevention and destruction;
- moderate toxicity;
- reasonable price compared to similar insecticides.
Disadvantage of the drug: due to the fact that the main substance cypermethrin is a component of many other pesticides, bedbugs can develop immunity against it, especially if the apartment was previously treated with a drug similar to Medilis Cyper.
The product is intended for both household use and pest control professionals.
The following are subject to treatment with the Medilis Cyper solution:
- places where arthropod insects accumulate in residential and industrial premises;
- household waste zones;
- foci of scabies and pediculosis and against their pathogens;
- disinfection of various types of waste collection machines and devices.
Antiklop
Medilis Anticlops
The Medilis Antiklop anti-bedbug product is available in the form of a ready-to-use spray. It contains three insecticides belonging to hazard class 3-4:
- permethrin;
- its two synthetic analogues are cypermethrin and tetramethrin.
The components of Antiklop are contact insecticides. They actively penetrate through the chitinous cover into the body of the bedbug, blocking ion channels in the membranes of nerve cells, changing its polarization and, thereby, blocking the transmission of nerve impulses to the fibers of muscle tissue of all organs of the insect. The drug has an instant (“knockdown effect”) paralyzing effect on the pest.
Characteristics of Antiklop
A single treatment is enough for the bedbugs to disappear completely, regardless of the size of their colony. Antiklop product retains its properties after application to the surface for 2 months. The prolonged effect guarantees the death of not only adult individuals and their larvae, but also their hatched clutches of young insect eggs.
Reviews about Medilis Antiklop are mostly positive, which indicates the high effectiveness of the product. The only drawback reported by consumers is the unpleasant odor that lingers for a long time, especially on absorbent surfaces.
Instructions for use Medilis Anticlop
Medilis Antiklop
Instructions for use of Medilis Antiklop, located on the back of each bottle, describe in detail the algorithm of actions when treating the room:
- prepare rooms for disinfestation - move furniture away from the walls, remove carpets and textiles, remove pets from the apartment, remove aquariums, bird cages, personal hygiene items, food, cutlery;
- carry out wet cleaning;
- close windows and doors tightly, preventing drafts;
- placing the pump nozzle on the bottle at a distance of 10-15 cm from the surface to be treated, spray the product on the back of the furniture, paintings, carefully treat the fastening points, legs of the bed, sofa and other furniture - the surface to be treated should be damp;
- using a spray bottle on a bottle, treat joints, seams, baseboards, floors and walls, starting from the far wall and moving towards the exit from the apartment;
- to create a barrier against the penetration of bedbugs into the apartment, it is necessary to treat the window slopes, the bottom of the window sills, the door frame and ventilation grilles;
- leave the room for 2-3 hours;
- after this time, open windows and doors for ventilation for 30 minutes;
- wash contact surfaces with soap and soda solution;
- It is not recommended to wet treat areas where bedbugs accumulate for 2-3 days.
Operating principle
The effect of the Medilis Cyper emulsion is due to the presence of cypermethrin in the composition at a concentration of 25%. The original composition has an unpleasant odor and a yellowish tint; the finished solution will have a light milky tint. The product destroys insects in the treatment area and lasts for about two months. It does not lose effectiveness when exposed to the sun. The disadvantage of Medilis Cyper is the fact that insects can develop resistance to it. If the procedures are no longer effective, the brand of insecticide should be replaced.
Cypermethrin is a poison that has a paralytic effect on fifty species of insects. It blocks nerve impulses, causing paralysis and death. The product penetrates the insect’s body through the digestive organs and directly through the chitinous cover. Due to its oily texture, the liquid adheres to the insect's body, which ensures complete destruction of pests in the treatment area. The drug can be used both at home and outdoors.
Emulsion preparation
According to the instructions for use of Medilis Cyper, the working solution is prepared immediately before use. Tap water or filtered water from a pond will do. Measure out the required amount of product and liquid, combine and stir evenly for 5 minutes. The prepared solution can be stored for up to 8 hours.
To apply Medilis Cyper, you can use any sprayer: mechanical, electric, or even a regular sprayer. It is only necessary that the surface is covered with the working emulsion evenly.
When working with Medilis Cyper, use personal protective equipment (rubber gloves, mask or respirator).
To prepare the emulsion, use disposable containers that you won’t mind throwing away. To process 1 sq. m requires about 50 ml of solution. If you apply it to clothes, the effect will last up to 14 days.
During the procedure, use personal protective equipment, including closed clothing made of thick fabric, a respirator, and rubber gloves. If you are processing a room, open the windows and leave them open for at least half an hour after all work is completed.
12 hours after spraying the product in the room, you should wash surfaces that you frequently come into contact with with water and a soap-soda solution. Secluded corners that household members typically do not enter may not need to be cleaned until you are sure that the insects have disappeared.
Precautions when working with Medilis Cyper
When working with an insecticide, one should not forget that this is a chemical substance that requires precautions:
- It is mandatory to observe basic personal hygiene - washing your hands, face, and exposed parts of the body. It is prohibited to eat or smoke during treatment. The drug must be used in special clothing that protects the mucous membranes, eyes, and respiratory tract.
- Pregnant women and nursing mothers should not be allowed to work or to the processing area.
- Pets are also not allowed.
- When processing indoors, be sure to remove all utensils and food.
- Upon completion of work, be sure to take a shower, wash clothes, and ventilate the room.
These measures are intended to prevent the drug from being swallowed or inhaled, which could cause poisoning. If poisoning has already occurred, you need to go out into the fresh air, rinse your nose and mouth with a 2% soda solution, drink 2 glasses of water with an adsorbent - activated carbon (10-20 tablets). If the product gets into your eyes, rinse with plenty of water. If the condition worsens, you should consult a doctor.
Review

Protective measures when carrying out chemical processing
Security measures
- Only the person carrying out the disinfestation should be present in the room being treated.
- A prerequisite is the use of protective clothing, masks, and goggles.
- You cannot eat, drink or smoke during treatment.
- The room must be ventilated during processing.
- You need to leave the room immediately after disinfection for a day.
- Upon returning to the apartment, all touched surfaces are wiped with a solution of soda, soap and water.
- Treatment should not be carried out on minors, pregnant or lactating persons.
- After treatment, you should wash your hands, face, and neck with laundry soap and water.
- The protective suit is washed and stored outside the living space (barn, cellar, warehouse).
- Healthcare institutions and children's institutions do not use Medilis Cyper.
Preparation of the solution
Dilute the concentrate in cold water. Stir for 5 minutes to ensure uniform dissolution. The finished solution is similar in color to milk. There is a sharp specific smell. Pour into a household spray bottle or spray bottle. Prepare the solution immediately before preparation. Must be used within 8 hours. Otherwise, the concentration decreases and the efficiency decreases. With an average degree of infestation of the room, 2 ml of concentrate is used per 1 liter of water, with a large number of parasites, 4 ml of Medilis-Ziper is poured. Standard consumption is 50 ml on a hard surface, 100 ml on a soft surface. For high-quality treatment of the room, it is necessary to ensure uniform coverage of all surfaces, including hard-to-reach places.
Preparatory activities
When using Medilis Antiklop spray, precautions must be taken. Before treatment, it is necessary to temporarily remove all people from the premises, as well as animals. You cannot leave aquariums, cages with birds and rodents, or other pets in the apartment. Next, you need to remove and seal the dishes, kitchen utensils, cosmetics and clothing.
Bed linen, bedspreads and curtains cannot be treated with the product. It is enough to wash them at the highest possible temperature with the addition of disinfectants, then iron them on both sides.
Before applying the insecticide, it is recommended to do a wet cleaning so that the spray settles on clean surfaces and not on dust and dirt. Otherwise, the liquid quickly disappears and its effectiveness decreases. It is advisable to move cabinet furniture away from the walls and vacuum it. If possible, upholstered furniture should also be treated with steam.
Windows and doors must be closed before treatment. It is important to use personal protective equipment. Moreover, a gauze bandage will not protect against toxic fumes, so it is recommended to use a high-quality respirator. You need to cover your clothes with an old raincoat, raincoat or thick robe, which will have to be thrown away after the procedure. You will also need gloves and safety glasses.
Of course, the procedure for getting rid of bedbugs is quite troublesome, but if you use Medelis Antibed, then one such event is enough.
Proper cleaning of premises treated with the product
12 hours after treatment, you can carry out the first cleaning: wash the floor and objects that people most often come into contact with.
After 3-4 days, you should carry out wet cleaning: thoroughly wash the floors, walls, and after drying, walk around the apartment with a vacuum cleaner to eliminate what is left of the insect population
This is important, since dead pests can become not only a source of poison for pets, but also food for other insects when the effect of the poison stops
After 3-4 days after treatment, important cleaning should be carried out in order to consider the procedure for getting rid of insects completed
When cleaning, you should pay special attention to baseboards, places where wallpaper is peeling, and the space under furniture. When returning personal belongings to the apartment, make sure that there are no insect eggs on them
Children's toys are especially dangerous in this regard, and therefore special attention should be paid to them.
Advantages and disadvantages
"Medilis" has a large set of advantages and a number of negative qualities. Each of them should be mentioned so that the buyer has a clear idea of the product being purchased.
The drug differs very favorably from other insecticides in that:
- quickly affects bedbugs with any, even minor contact with it;
- has a fairly long-lasting effect;
- affects a very large list of pests;
- relatively inexpensive;
- can be used to prevent the appearance of parasites in the apartment;
- can be used several times in one place;
- does not decompose under the influence of the external environment;
- There are no fakes on sale.
The downside is that the drug is quite difficult to prepare for use yourself. The manufacturers of the product directly write: “Dilute Medilis Cyper,” and then detailed instructions for use are given on how exactly it should be diluted.
The insecticide has a pronounced odor, which is quite difficult to eliminate even after weathering.
During processing, it settles on clothes, so before sanitizing it is better to take old things and then throw them away.
If the home was previously disinfested using a drug based on pyrethroids, the effect of Medilis may become less pronounced.
How to poison
You can forget about the existence of parasites forever by using “Medilis Antiklop”. The instructions for use clearly describe the entire algorithm of actions. If all preparatory measures have been completed, then you can begin processing the premises. The bottle must be kept strictly in an upright position, at arm's length.
How to remove bedbugs:
- All furniture in the house is treated superficially and especially carefully at the joints. Don't forget about the back walls.
- Next, you need to spray the floor, at the joints with the baseboards, crevices, cracks.
- It is important to spray the spray into all available outlets, after turning off the electricity.
- Next, window frames, window sills, areas under heating radiators and door jambs are processed.
- Don't forget about the ventilation grilles.
If a breeding ground for bedbugs has been found, then this area and its radius are treated especially carefully. Otherwise, insects may migrate. After the procedure, you must leave the living space for 20 minutes. This time is enough for all adult parasites to die, and the eggs and larvae will be affected by the residual poison of the drug. It is important to ventilate the room well and do a thorough cleaning before allowing small children, elderly people and pets into the house.
Cleaning must be carried out wearing protective gloves, using a soap and soda solution. All surfaces with which a person comes into contact must be thoroughly washed. However, it is recommended not to wash areas under window sills, behind radiators, on the back walls of furniture and other hard-to-reach surfaces. The poison that remains on them will remain in effect for about two more months.
From ticks
Instructions for use of Medilis Cyper provide the following recommendations regarding ticks. For 1 hectare of territory you will need 100–120 liters of working solution. The product will last for approximately 1–1.5 months. For 1 set of clothes you will need 160–200 ml of solution; the clothes should be treated straightened out on both sides. Provided that things do not get wet after this, the effect will last for 14 days.
Ticks are most active from early spring to late summer. It is also recommended to carry out processing at this time. To spray the area, choose a time so that there are no people on it for 3 days after the procedure. After working in the area, walk around the perimeter to prevent new insects from entering. The ticks disappear on the third day.
Instructions for use
Before making the solution, it is necessary to prepare the room for treatment:
- take out all dishes and food;
- hide clothes, bedding, and hygiene products in tight bags away from the area where the drug is distributed;
- move furniture away from the walls, dismantle beds to the frame;
- remove wall items;
- find all insect locations;
- remove from the premises everyone who is not involved in processing.
The solution should be prepared only before use.
To kill bedbugs
Mix the drug with water in a ratio of 5 ml:1 l. respectively, in case of severe infection. If the situation is not so bad, 1-2 ml will be enough. To treat 1 m², expect to spend 50 ml. products for all surfaces.
Advice!
If infestation is high, everything must be treated: furniture, walls, baseboards, carpets and wall items, cracks and shelves, sockets and window sills, etc. When the number of individuals is small, only their nests are processed.
After treatment, you should leave the room for a day, first opening the windows for ventilation.
When you return, wipe all contact surfaces with a solution of baking soda and water (soap and water). Leave the remaining treatment areas untouched until all insects die.
Wash clothes and bedding at high temperatures.
Treatment against ticks
The area should be treated for ticks in the spring and summer, when ticks are most active.
- Dilute the product according to the instructions, using the dosage recommended for the type of ticks living in your area. If it is not possible to determine the genus, then you should use 120 ml per 10 acres.
- Spray grass and low shrubs, focusing on the perimeter to reduce the likelihood of ticks creeping in from adjacent areas.
- Leave the area for 3-4 days.
Processing should be carried out in a protective suit, with a respirator and rubber gloves.
Since the effect of the product lasts more than a month, it is forbidden to treat gardens and orchards even long before sowing; the same applies to playgrounds and sandboxes.
Picking berries is prohibited for 40 days after processing.
To destroy ixodid ticks
Treatment should begin at the end of April and continue until the end of August.
Important!
During the treatment, people and pets should not be allowed into the area for 3 days.
0.25 ml. The drug should be diluted in 1 liter. water, mix well and pour into a spray container.
The following are subject to irrigation with the working solution:
- grass (especially tall and thick);
- bushes;
- lower branches of trees;
- doorways.
The area should be treated around the perimeter to prevent other ticks from entering.
You cannot spray:
- children's sandboxes and playgrounds;
- recreation areas;
- vegetable crops and fruit trees.
Remember!
Application of the solution should be uniform without empty stripes outside the treatment.
Expect to treat 10 acres with 120 ml. substances.
Clothes can also be treated for preventive purposes. Fleas and ticks will cling to it and, upon contact with the active substance, receive paralysis of the entire nervous system and fall off on their own. This effect can last up to 15 hours.
To kill mosquitoes
To achieve the death of adult individuals, you will need to dilute it in 2.5 liters. water 1 ml. drug. The solution poured into a spraying container should be directed to the walls and ceiling of the apartment, grass and reeds near water bodies, paths and grass in the garden, etc., that is, to places where mosquitoes usually spend the day.
It is better to carry out processing in the late afternoon.
To treat 1 m² you will need from 50 to 100 ml. substances.
Important!
The product is prohibited for use if people swim in the reservoir or use it for obtaining drinking water and breeding fish.
To destroy the larvae, you need to treat ponds, basements, and sewer holes. 1 ml. the product is added to 2.5 liters. water.
20 ml. It’s quite enough for 1 m², and for open reservoirs the consumption is as follows: 100 ml. per 1m².
The container in which the solution was located must be disposed of after use. If possible, do the following: dilute 1 kg. Chlorine or slaked lime in 10 liters. water and fill the container with it. The “acidification” should last about a day, after which the container is thoroughly rinsed with water.
Each group of insects has its own rules for preparing the solution and processing.
Locations of bedbugs in the apartment
When processing, be sure to moisten with poison all surfaces where bedbugs move and can hide. Since this parasite can be flattened to the thickness of a paper sheet, it penetrates and hides in the smallest cracks. The main thing is that the food is nearby. This means the bed and around the bed is the place that needs to be treated most carefully.
Directions for use and places where parasites like to nest:
- We spray the entire bed; to do this, it is advisable to disassemble it in order to apply the solution to all the grooves and smallest cracks.
- We process upholstered furniture completely, as well as carpets on the floor and on the wall, paintings on the back, shelves with books, curtains, the back wall of the cabinet and the back wall from the inside.
- Be sure to spray all baseboards, window and door frames, ventilation grilles and air conditioning.
- Bedbugs also like to nest behind radiators, as well as in the far dusty corners of the room.
It is important to consider that fabric absorbs moisture more than a hard surface, so we spray upholstered furniture, curtains and carpets several times.
The Medilis-Tsiper solution should be used to treat all hard surfaces, as well as curtains, bedspreads, blankets and pillows
After treatment, the room must be ventilated for an hour. But, ideally, to achieve the desired effect, you need to mothball the room for a day. During this time, all adult bedbugs will be destroyed, and the solution will be absorbed into the surface and kill all young individuals that will emerge from the larvae later.
The effect of the drug is long-lasting, it can also be used as a prophylaxis if there is a risk of infection by bedbugs from the front door or from neighbors.
Effect of the drug on insects
Medilis poisons all insects. After spraying the room, you don’t have to worry about pests living in the apartment again. The product destroys all populations of bedbugs: from the smallest to the largest. For two months, the drug retains all its toxic properties. This is why pests do not appear again, and then are afraid to settle in the apartment. Due to the paralytic effect that the product carries with it, bedbugs die instantly, and those who do not have time to hatch from the eggs are born dead. As a rule, Medilis Antiklop is used against bed bugs and those that live in the kitchen. In addition, if there are other insects in your apartment, they will also die out. For example, cockroaches, bugs and flies.
Mode of application
- move all furniture away from baseboards, raise carpets, remove all pets from the house, hide food and personal hygiene items;
- clean the apartment well, carrying out wet cleaning;
- close all windows very tightly, the apartment should be stuffy and draft-free;
- take the product in your hands, spray it on baseboards, wallpaper, under the bed, on sofas and armchairs, in all secret corners at a distance of 15 cm;
- as soon as the treatment is completed, be sure to leave the room for several hours;
- as soon as 3 hours have passed, open the windows for 30 minutes, the smell of Medilis should disappear;
- where the bedbugs ran away, there will be a “dead path” of them, so there is no need to remove it, leave it for another 2 days and only then carry out wet cleaning.
Precautionary measures
In any case, even if the drug is not toxic to human health, it is important to take some precautions. For example, you should purchase gloves to handle the apartment in them. It is also important to buy a mask or gauze bandage so as not to breathe in the smell that you spray around the apartment. Wet cleaning after treating the premises is mandatory.
What danger do harmful insects pose to humans?
Why are some insects called harmful, while others are called beneficial? It all depends on whether multi-legged winged and crawling creatures bring harm to humans or not. In summary, we can name the following insects, which are usually classified as parasites or pests:
- Flies serve as carriers of various microbes and viruses, causing all sorts of infectious diseases.
- Mosquitoes are bloodsuckers that can also transfer many bacteria and viruses into the human body through a bite.
- Moths spoil people's clothes, belongings and food.
- Ticks are bloodsuckers that can transmit not only intractable encephalitis, but also a number of other diseases.
- Cockroaches, like flies, carry various microbes on their legs.
- Ants can serve as carriers of infections, but most of all they spoil fruits, vegetables, sweets, etc.
- Bedbugs are difficult to detect, active at night, and are bloodsuckers.
- Dust mites - feed on dead skin debris, dust particles and other microscopic elements, causing allergies in humans.
- Lice in humans or animals reduce immunity, weaken the body, and serve as a risk factor for infection of the body.
- Wasps, hornets, gadflies - spoil people's food, and also carry various infections, sting painfully, causing discomfort.
The action of Medilis Super is aimed at all these insects, so this drug copes well with the destruction of one or another species. If you do not promptly treat the area affected by certain insect parasites, the situation can be brought to a state where it can get out of control. Insects will quickly begin to multiply and most of the things and furniture will simply have to be thrown away.
