A LITTLE INFORMATION ABOUT MOSQUITOES
Mosquitoes bothered ancient dinosaurs with their buzzing, and now they bother us. These blood-sucking insects belong to the order Diptera. The mosquito has a thin body 4-14 mm in length, transparent wings covered with scales, long legs with claws. Mosquitoes are both female and male.
The appearance of a mosquito is accompanied by an unpleasant squeak, which occurs due to the flapping of its wings; the mosquito makes approximately 600 beats per second. The sound helps females attract a male for mating. The male does not suck blood, mainly feeds on plant sap and is absolutely harmless. Females suck blood because they need protein food to reproduce.
Mosquitoes live everywhere, except, perhaps, Antarctica, even in the Arctic latitudes, where summer is only a few weeks a year, they multiply at an accelerated rate and are extremely annoying to local herds of deer. There are especially many of them in places with a hot and humid climate.
The male lives on average 17-19 days, and the female mosquito can live up to 120 days, but since it is the females who suck blood, their lives are often interrupted by our cotton, prematurely.
Females have powerful jaws, with which they gnaw through the skin, making a wound, immerse their proboscis into it and suck out the blood. Simultaneously with the bite, saliva is released, causing allergic reactions in the form of itching, redness, and slight swelling.
It would seem that mosquitoes are of no use, they only irritate you and spread diseases, but in fact they are a unique creation of nature, where nothing happens for nothing. Mosquitoes are food for fish, dragonflies, butterflies, and some species of birds; they are one of the links in the food chain.
Chalk: action, method of application
Presented in the form of a chalk, Rubit has proven its effectiveness in the fight against insects crawling indoors and outdoors. The active substance, deltamethrin, is poisonous. The toxic component has a negative effect on the nervous system of cockroaches, as a result of which they die. Advantages:
- long protective period;
- easy to apply;
- low cost.
Disadvantages include low efficiency in case of severe infection and unaesthetic appearance after application.
Chalk
The drug is produced in the form of chalk, packaged in 25 g. In addition to deltamethrin, it contains additional substances - alabaster, chalk and surfactants (surfactants). The action begins gradually. Crossing the chalk line, the poison enters the body. An infected cockroach passes the insecticide to its fellow cockroaches, who subsequently die.
Part of the chalk is removed from the packaging and lines are applied in places where cockroaches often live: near water pipes, along baseboards, at the joints of tiles, under the sink. Instructions for use of the drug are attached to the package. It must be strictly adhered to. For processing an area of 20 - 30 square meters. m. one package is enough. It is recommended to carry out processing with rubber gloves.
An analogue is the Mashenka chalk.
Processing rules
If you plan to use Rubit powder, you need to prepare personal protective equipment: glasses, a respirator (a gauze bandage is also suitable).
You should work in closed clothing and gloves so that the powder does not settle on the skin. Before using any drug against cockroaches, the room must be prepared and access to pest habitats must be opened: Large furniture should be moved away from the walls
It is important to treat baseboards and the backs of cabinets. Dishes and food are taken outside the premises.
The room is being thoroughly cleaned. It is necessary to remove traces of insect activity, waste from the floor, under the sink, from tables
An abundance of crumbs and small debris is a common cause of cockroaches. If this factor is not excluded, the insects will appear again. The trash can is washed and disinfected. All sources of water are shut off: if it is stored in the public domain, the containers are covered with a lid; Plumbing fixtures should be repaired. If there is an aquarium in the room, before treating the room you need to cover it with glass and turn off the compressor.
When powder is used, bait should be placed in several places, then pests will be more willing to crawl towards the poison.
If you plan to use the gel, the room is also prepared. Drops of the drug are left in different places:
- under the sink, near the trash can;
- dotted along the baseboards (at a distance of 5-10 cm);
- behind cabinets, on surfaces;
- on the back walls of household appliances and furniture;
- inside wall furniture, in drawers;

Product description
Rubit chalk against all insects is a new generation insecticide. The chalk base is the key to comfortable and economical application. It is thanks to its help that the active substance is securely attached to any surface, but at the same time can be easily removed with a regular soap-soda solution.
The undeniable advantage of the drug is the so-called “domino effect”. That is, by contacting it, the insect automatically becomes a distributor of the toxic component for its relatives. As a result: disinsection is accelerated, and its effectiveness increases several times. The result becomes noticeable within a few days.
Dust
The cockroach repellent Rubit goes on sale in blue packaging. Upon contact with the poisonous substance, paralysis of the insects occurs, followed by death. The difficulty of using powder for treating premises is that it does not contain attractants - substances that attract cockroaches. Therefore, you should not count on high efficiency of dusts.
Dust
On a note!
The advantages of the powder include low cost and ease of processing. It is scattered on surfaces. The disadvantage is the possibility of poisoning, since the particles of the powder are light, they can be suspended in the air and penetrate into the human body. In hard-to-reach places it can be difficult to get rid of during cleaning.
Instructions for use:
- To kill cockroaches, the entire room is treated - the floor, baseboards, shelves in closets. Since cockroaches crawl on vertical surfaces and dishes, this causes some inconvenience. Therefore, it is recommended to combine dust with other Rubit insecticides.
- It is advisable to leave your home for a while.
- After processing the premises, they begin to clean them.
Analogues:
- Front double;
- Phenaxin;
- Thiuram.
Traps

The death of the population occurs gradually, as a result of eating infected individuals.
Bait boxes
Delicia cockroach traps are safe for humans and ready to use. They are removed from the packaging, separated from the cardboard blister and separated from one another.

How to use Rubit against mole crickets
To destroy mole crickets, you need to place granules in the pest’s habitat. You can place them in passages through holes in the ground, or they can be laid out in shallow grooves made on the surface of the beds. For mole crickets, the depth of placement of the product is about 3-5 cm; greater depth is required for wireworms.
To properly deal with cabbage weed, you need to know the time of application of the insecticide. Options when granules are buried in the soil:
- when planting seedlings in open ground or in a greenhouse;
- preliminary - 10 days before disembarkation;
- during the period when young shoots emerge from the soil.
If control is planned with the help of buried granules, grooves in the soil should be made at a distance of no more than a meter, but not less than 50 cm. You can also make separate holes where a certain number of granules are placed. The drug is used at the rate of 30 g of granules per 100 m2. Under the sprouts that have emerged, 2-3 granules should be placed directly in the root area. In order for this insecticidal agent to begin to act, the soil must be watered with water, but not too much.
The manufacturer notes that when using Rubit Rotafox, other insecticides and fertilizers are not used in this soil at the same time. By combining with them, the drug can change its composition and effect.
To effectively poison a mole cricket, you need to remember that the concentration of Rubit and its effectiveness are limited to 2-3 weeks. After this, you need to re-apply the insecticide to the soil. This product is also used for preventive control of this pest.
Mechanism of action
Imidacloprid has a paralyzing effect. As a result of poisoning with this substance, nerve impulses in the insect’s body stop, and complete paralysis of the limbs and the entire body occurs. Nervous and digestive activity stops, and the ant dies in the shortest possible time. The effect of this substance also extends to the skin of the pest: ulcers appear and the structure of the limbs is destroyed. The advantage of Rubita is that it does not quickly become addictive to insects and can last up to 1 month.
Chlorpyrifos, contained in Rubit from ants, also has the ability to paralyze its victim. It acts differently: it disrupts the passage of nerve impulses, which leads to loss of nutritional and respiratory abilities, and soon the insect dies. The product works for 2 months, but if used for too long, the parasites get used to it.
