Toxicity assessment
Chlorpyrifos is classified as a moderately hazardous substance, hazard class 3. When used correctly, it does not harm the environment, human health, or animals. Maximum efficiency is maintained for 2 hours; under the influence of sunlight, air temperature is gradually destroyed. The substance is deadly to any insects, fish, and amphibians. Should be used when particularly necessary; do not use in reservoirs with fish or frogs.
Contact with human skin causes irritation and an allergic reaction. Manifests itself in the form of redness, rash, swelling, itching, burning. In most cases, it goes away on its own within 2-3 days. If you are prone to allergies, special treatment with antihistamines and antiallergic ointments is required.
Penetration of Chlorpyrimarc into the respiratory tract and stomach, poisoning of varying degrees of intensity is observed. Weakness, headache, dizziness, nausea, diarrhea, rapid heartbeat, pallor and other signs of intoxication appear.
In animals, Chlorpyrimark causes increased salivation, lacrimation, allergies, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, muscle weakness, sleep disturbance, and tremors. Symptoms disappear within 1-3 days. If a significant dose of poison enters the stomach, the help of a specialist is required.
Mode of application
If you want to buy Chlorpyrimark and instantly kill all pests in the room, then strictly follow the instructions from the manufacturer. Calculation of proportions is made depending on the type of parasite and the territory of the location. Chlorpyrimark will do its job perfectly if you use water at room temperature for the working solution.
The mixture is thoroughly stirred to a homogeneous consistency, after which it is applied using a spray bottle to the pest habitats. Always pay attention to floor cracks and baseboards! Do not use a product whose expiration date has expired.

Chlorpyrimark: reviews
Since the drug is intended exclusively for use by professionals, it is quite difficult to find user reviews on Chlorpyrimark online. The insecticide is used in the work by specialists of the SES “Des Group” and has proven itself in the fight even against insects that have already developed resistance (immunity) to some other toxic substances. At the same time, it may have an incomplete destructive effect if the pests are already accustomed to the main active ingredient of Chlorpyrimark - chlorpyrifos. When sprayed, the product has a perfumed smell, but when ventilated, it dissipates quickly enough and does not stay in the room for weeks.
Mechanism of action on bedbugs
The insecticide has a paralyzing effect on bloodsucking insects. When the substance gets on the bug, it stops breathing and nerve impulses are blocked. The pest’s relatives are also in danger: on their paws the parasite carries the poison into the nest, and other insects also begin to become infected.
The advantage of Chlorpyrifos is that it kills bedbug eggs. During exposure to the insecticide, the future offspring of bloodsuckers stop developing, and the shell begins to dry out. But for this you need to make an effort: the substance must be applied next to the oviposition. Otherwise, the active component will not be able to penetrate the thick shell, and young bugs will hatch in two to three weeks.
Nevertheless, this is a fairly strong remedy for bedbugs. Due to its resistance to the environment, the chemical does not lose its properties for up to one and a half to two months and, when offspring appear, it can destroy it.
Description, composition and release forms
In its pure form, chlorpyrifos is a crystallized white powder. The substance has a specific odor. It dissolves in water at a temperature of +250C and is completely destroyed in alkalis. The substance remains active on surfaces for 1-2 months, and when it gets into the soil – 120 days.
Chlorpyrifos is sold in the form of a solution, the concentration of which is 48%. The product is packaged in plastic containers of 1 l, 5 l, 25 l.
You can find other drugs based on this toxic substance on sale. They are available in the form of a liquid suspension. In addition to chlorpyrifos, the products also contain a second active ingredient – cypermethrin. This combination allows you to achieve maximum effectiveness against cockroaches and bedbugs.

What are these poisons and why are they based on chlorpyrifos?
This insect repellent, in particular blood-sucking bedbugs, was developed with an eye on the needs of people suffering from the parasite, but who do not want (or simply do not have the opportunity) to poison the bedbugs by calling a professional exterminator. Chlorpyrifos-based products can be safely used in cases where the situation seems hopeless: there is a child, animals in the house, and it will not be possible to leave the infested living space until the end of disinfestation against bedbugs.
Potent drugs, as usual, are extremely toxic not only to parasites, but also to those who live nearby. And for effective use you always have to use them often and a lot. Of course, if there is a small child in the house who can no longer be kept in the crib, then any contact with toxic substances is extremely dangerous.
Chlorpyrifos is a chemical [C9H11Cl3NO3PS] often used in the formulation of a contact spectrum insecticide. Chlorpyrifos-based poisons work as an instant nerve agent. When the parasite touches the substance, it catches microgranules of the substance on its paws, after which it spreads the infection everywhere, and when it inhales, it dies from paralysis.
Safety to use
In fact, chlorpyrifos is not that safe. No, it certainly doesn't compare to the aerosols and chemicals used in mass processing. But it’s difficult to call it completely harmless. The fact is that sprayed poisons based on it are much heavier than instant-acting aerosol insecticides. They settle on the surface faster, preventing the substance from entering the human respiratory tract. But this in no way prevents insects from spreading it and poisoning it.
And such products are used only in diluted form, which minimizes the direct toxic effects of the substance. After treatment, which can be carried out completely independently, the room does not even need to be ventilated. However, all open areas of the living space treated with the above substance should be kept away from children and animals.
How effective are they against bed bugs?
Products that 100% get rid of this parasite can only be found in an exterminator’s backpack. This is, as a rule, a combination of drugs of varying degrees of toxicity, which together hit the sore spots of the parasite colony. Chlorpyrifos and all poisons based on it cause sufficient harm to the parasite population. The contact action and long-lasting effect result in relatively successful treatments, often resulting in the complete destruction of the parasite. If the handler himself has enough skills, he finds all the nests; processes where necessary; how preventive measures are applied at the likely sites of penetration - then the success of the event may surprise.
The fact is that almost all household poisons based on chlorpyrifos also affect the offspring of bed bugs. A properly treated apartment will become a real “minefield” for the parasite and will not allow it to leave offspring, much less reproduce. The only problem is that household packages of this concentrate cost half as much as ordering processing from a pest control service. And if the apartment is large, and there are a lot of places that need to be treated, then in unusual cases the use of chlorpyrifos poisons will hit the family budget quite hard. However, of course, there is no 100% guarantee.

Chlorpyrifos is an effective agent (organophosphorus insecticide) for the control of bed bugs. The product acts not only on adult insects, but also on eggs and larvae of bedbugs.
Help with poisoning
If in the process of baiting pests there is a deterioration in health, work should be stopped and a flow of fresh air should be provided. Wash your hands with soap, wash your face, rinse your mouth with soda solution. Take activated carbon at the rate of 1 tablet for every 10 kg of body weight. If after this the condition does not return to normal, you need to call an ambulance or consult a doctor yourself. Signs of poisoning may also appear 60 minutes after completion of work. If Chlorpyrimark comes into contact with the skin, rinse with plenty of running water.
Precautionary measures
When working with toxic Chlorpyrimark, you must strictly follow the instructions and use personal protective equipment.
Before disinsection of residential premises, you need to remove pets and cover aquariums. Carry out wet cleaning. Upon completion of the procedure, thoroughly ventilate for at least 2 hours, ensuring the formation of a draft. Carry out wet cleaning in places where hands will touch. Laundry soap and baking soda are added to the water for washing floors, furniture, and door handles. An alkaline environment completely neutralizes the effect of the poison. Manufacturers allow you to spend the night in a treated room on the same day, but it is better to stay in another place for a couple of days.
When working with the drug, you need to wear rubber gloves, a respirator, and goggles if you need to treat the ceiling or high walls. Protect your skin with a long-sleeved jacket and trousers. After disinfestation, throw the suit in the wash and take a shower.
During disinsection, it is prohibited to eat, drink, or smoke. When working in an open area, ensure that there are no animals in the area.
Pros and cons of the product
Before you start killing bedbugs with this poison, you need to know what the advantages are over other drugs. Here are a few main advantages:
- The result of using the chemical is quite powerful. Even when the apartment is heavily infested, sometimes bullying alone is enough.
- The bedbug repellent Chlorpyrifos helps fight oviposition much better than many insecticides.
- A small dose of the substance is sufficient for treatment.
- Long-lasting residual effect that lasts up to several months.
- No strong unpleasant odor.
The main disadvantage of Chlorpyrifos is its severe toxicity. If used incorrectly, this bedbug poison can cause serious harm to humans. Many people also complain that the product is not very convenient to use, and the poison is not cheap. In addition, with frequent use of chemicals containing Chlorpyrifos, the substance ceases to act on bloodsucking insects.
Effect of the drug
Chlorpyrimark enters the body of insects through contact, intestinal routes. Once inside, it disrupts the functioning of the central nervous system and blocks the transmission of impulses. After a few minutes, muscle paralysis and death occurs. Within 30 minutes of the drug's action, females stop laying eggs and the larvae stop feeding. The maximum death of parasites is observed in the first 2 hours after disinsection; it takes 2 days to exterminate the entire population.
The effect of Chlorpyrimark lasts for about 1.5 months, which ensures the gradual death of all parasites and prevents re-infection. However, in case of severe infection, repeated disinsection should be carried out 14 days after the first one. This is explained by the fact that during this time a new generation of parasites appears from the surviving eggs, and the effect of the drug weakens over time.
