Insecticide Effective for the rapid extermination of red, black, furniture and American cockroaches

Effective - a universal household insecticide for killing insects in residential areas. It is most often used to kill cockroaches due to the content of components that have the most pronounced effect on cockroaches.

For example, when sprayed directly, red cockroaches die in 29 minutes:

Black cockroaches die after contact with the liquid solution. Effective in 8.5 minutes:

Effective contains insecticides to which cockroaches are not known to be resistant. This ensures that any cockroach sprayed with the solution will die.

Effective contains three powerful insecticides at once

Effective contains insecticides to which cockroaches are not known to be resistant. This ensures that any cockroach that is sprayed with the solution will die.

Effectively kills cockroaches due to the simultaneous action of three components:

• Propoxur in an amount of 8.6% by weight of the drug
• Tetramethrin - 0.43%
• Piperonyl butoxide - 0.85%

Together they have a powerful nerve-paralytic effect on insects.

Once propoxur enters the nervous tissue, it blocks the enzyme that binds acetylcholine, an important neurotransmitter. Because of this, acetylcholine accumulates in nerve synapses without returning to neurons, and the connection between nerve cells and muscles is disrupted. Paralysis develops.

Tetramethrin disrupts the migration of potassium and sodium ions across the presynaptic membrane, which leads to an acceleration of the release of acetylcholine into the space of the nerve synapse. This speeds up the process initiated by propoxur.

Piperonyl butoxide blocks enzymes in the cockroach's body that break down tetramethrin. In this way it protects tetramethrin from degradation and guarantees its effectiveness.

Additionally, piperonyl butoxide accelerates the passage of tetramethrin through the chitinous integument of the insect's body. Thanks to this, Effective acts even when it gets on the wings, legs, or abdomen of an insect, and due to the same effect, it works quite quickly even after drying, when the cockroach simply runs over a layer of already dried product.

Brief description of the insecticide

Thanks to the innovative technology of Dutch developers, such a unique product as “Effective Ultra” is not considered dangerous or toxic for humans or animals. But at the same time, it is effective in destroying a large number of different types of insects that annoy a person in his home. Everyone knows how difficult it is to remove bed bugs, for example.

BUY

The peculiarity of the substance that attracts most buyers is that it smells practically nothing and is non-toxic to people! This is extremely important for processing institutions such as medical or childcare facilities, as well as human homes.

There is no known resistance in insects to even two of the components of Efficient

There have been no cases of insect resistance to at least two components of Effektiv simultaneously. This means that in any room, at least two out of three insecticides will act on any cockroach that comes into contact with the product. And this, in turn, ensures that the drug will kill any insect it comes into contact with.

Cases of resistance to either propoxur or tetramethrin alone are extremely rare. Of the several thousand cockroach populations studied in residential buildings in Moscow and the Moscow region, there are only a few populations resistant to one of them. These are hundredths of a percent of the total number of cockroaches. Consequently, in each particular apartment, cockroaches will almost certainly die from the action of each of the components of Effektiv separately, and will definitely die from the simultaneous action of all three insecticides in its composition.

Reviews about the product

Maria, Leningrad region. In our children's camp, where I have been working as a counselor for several years, this drug was used before the children arrived. In the dining room, the kitchen was treated for flies and cockroaches. The product is simply excellent! After one treatment, we carried out sewage disposal one more time for prevention, but only after 1.5 months. Although the appearance of cockroaches was no longer noticed, and very few flies showed up, they still decided to treat the children again between visits.

Slava Khotenkov, Arkhangelsk region. There are tons of mosquitoes in our area! Even though I live in an apartment, they still plague the residents - almost everyone has mosquito nets. But these bloodsuckers somehow manage to get through - through the ventilation, I think. In short, a neighbor once invited the sanitary service to his home to kill mosquitoes and block their access to the apartment. Here I asked for it - in my apartment they treated ventilation hatches, window slopes, door frames and even upper cabinets and storage rooms with the Ultra Effect. After such a total treatment, I didn’t notice any mosquitoes at home for 6 months. Then they appeared again, but not much. I called the sanitation company, they said that a mosquito net should be installed on the ventilation. I did everything myself, installed a mesh on the ventilation duct in the bathroom and kitchen. It helped! Now I have a life without a mosquito!

Effectively kills cockroaches after drying on a surface for 2 weeks

The instructions for use of the product state that the Efficient solution retains its insecticidal properties for 2 weeks after drying.

This means that even if a cockroach runs over the dried preparation, it will die.

Insecticides from Effective are grouped into microcapsules that retain their shape even after drying. When insecticides come into contact with the body of an insect, they are released from microcapsules onto the surface of the chitinous cuticle and are drawn into it, then penetrating into the muscles and nervous tissue, where they have a toxic effect. This residual effect of Efficient has been tested on red cockroaches:

And then on black:

Due to this action, surfaces treated with Efficient, on which cockroaches often run, are recommended not to be washed for 2 weeks after treatment: if individual individuals survive in the apartment in the most inaccessible places, or if new cockroaches get here from neighbors, they will die after moving around such dry treated surfaces.

Mechanism of action

It is a potent insecticide against synanthropic insects. The mechanism of action is as follows: after application to the surface, the insect comes into contact with the drug, the active substances penetrate inside and poison.

The drug has a prolonged effect; after application to non-absorbent surfaces, it remains active for 4 weeks, and on absorbent surfaces for up to 7 days.

The product is effective against any arthropods - insects, spiders, ticks, centipedes and woodlice.

Effectively kills any arthropods - its mechanism of action is realized in the body of any invertebrate that has the same structure of the nervous system as that of cockroaches. Due to this, they can destroy:

• Bed bugs at all active stages of development - nymphs and adults
• Cockroaches - red, black, American, furniture
• Ants, including on personal plots
• Fleas (on surfaces and hiding places only, NOT on pets)
• Beetles of any kind - weevils, borers, flour beetles, leather beetles
• Moth - both clothing and food
• silverfish
• Ticks - argas, ixodid, gamas, dust
• Spiders
• Moist
• Millipedes - nodule, centipedes, drupes, flycatchers

Watch a video of Efficient treatment in an ordinary apartment, where it was used to poison poisonous spiders, bedbugs, silverfish, and even an accidentally flown butterfly:

At the same time, according to the observations of disinfectants, Efficient acts as quickly as possible on cockroaches, and therefore in professional practice it is used specifically for baiting cockroaches.

Purpose

The insecticidal agent is intended for the destruction of synanthropic insects (red, black and American cockroaches, bed bugs, rat fleas, red house ants, crickets, silverfish, spiders, skin beetles, mosquito larvae) by organizations engaged in disinfection activities at facilities for various purposes: industrial and residential premises, at public utility facilities (hotels, dormitories, sports complexes), at public catering establishments, in health care facilities during final disinsection, in children's institutions (except for bedrooms, dining rooms and playrooms) on sanitary days and weekends, as well as by the population at home .

A bottle of Efficient is enough to treat 80 square meters. m. surfaces

In accordance with the instructions, to kill cockroaches, you need to prepare a working solution of 1 liter of water and 25 ml of Efficient. The drug in a 100 ml bottle is enough to prepare 4 liters of working solution.

According to the same instructions, to kill cockroaches, surfaces should be sprayed with a solution consumption of 50 ml per 1 square meter. m, if the surface does not absorb liquid, or 100 ml per 1 sq. m., if the surface absorbs liquids.

Therefore, for spraying non-absorbent surfaces, one bottle is enough to treat 80 square meters. m. area of ​​material. Since cockroaches most often stick to hard, non-absorbent surfaces, you can count on spraying just such an area.

Practice shows that a bottle of Effective is enough to remove cockroaches from a standard two-room apartment. If the infestation is not severe, half a bottle will be enough to kill the cockroaches, and half can be left in case of repeated treatment in the future. In case of severe infestation, a solution from one bottle can be used to treat the entire apartment and destroy all the cockroaches in it.

Preparation. Instructions for use. Security measures

When working with the product, you must follow the instructions and safety precautions. Processing is carried out wearing gloves, masks, and protective suits. It is prohibited to use the product by persons under 18 years of age, pregnant or lactating women.

To prepare the working solution, the concentrate is mixed with water at room temperature and mixed thoroughly. Apply by spraying. Particular attention is paid to hard-to-reach areas, places where insects accumulate and move. Consumption rate – 100 ml/sq. m. Repeated treatment is allowed after 1-2 months.

Before starting treatment, wet clean the site, remove personal hygiene items and food. To apply the composition, use a spray bottle or brushes. After disinfestation, the facility is closed for at least 4-6 hours. Afterwards, ventilation and wet cleaning are carried out. It is prohibited to use the premises for their intended purpose without wet cleaning.

There are no known cases of poisoning of people and domestic animals with Effektiv or its solutions.

Effective is quite safe if you follow the instructions in the instructions for use. Today there are no known cases of poisoning of people or pets after using it.

All active components of Efficient are completely neutralized by enzymes in the body of warm-blooded animals, without leading to damage to the nervous system. They can have a toxic effect only on invertebrates, and to a lesser extent on cold-blooded vertebrates (fish, frogs). If a significant amount of the drug enters the body of a person, cat, or dog, typical signs of poisoning may appear - nausea, dizziness - which quickly stop if you go out into the fresh air and drink clean water.

If you follow the instructions in the instructions, the likelihood of significant quantities of Efficient entering the human body is practically excluded. The handler, working in a respirator, long sleeves and gloves, is reliably protected from the product entering the body. People who do not take part in the treatment leave the room while the room is being sprayed, and they also cannot get poisoned.

Precautionary measures

If, when processing a room, working liquid or suspension gets on the skin or mucous membranes, you need to quickly rinse them with cold water or a weak solution of soda (1 tablespoon per liter of water). If the insecticide gets into the stomach, you cannot induce vomiting - several tablets of activated carbon will help prevent absorption. After finishing the treatment of the room, you should thoroughly wash your hands and face with cool water.

Advice

Regardless of the well-being of the victim, if poisoned by an insecticide, you should immediately call a doctor or go to the nearest hospital.

Traps

Traps for cockroaches are a special device that lures insects with the smell of a sticky substance , once on the surface of which they will no longer be able to peel off and remain on the trap. But there are other trap mechanisms, for example, based on the design of a labyrinth, from which the Prussian cannot get out, because his head is lowered down, electric traps that kill with a discharge of current, etc. Such a remedy will not be particularly helpful if the apartment is severely damaged . But on the other hand, it can protect your home from their reproduction on your territory if such devices are placed at the entrance of cockroaches to the apartment from neighbors (near the ventilation hatch, near the drain under the kitchen sink, etc.).

Review:

“I live in a hostel. Cockroaches started coming into my room with the girls. It’s an unpleasant sight when you’re eating at the table, and here you have such “guests”! We bought special traps in the form of a small house, inside of which there is some substance that smells to them. Insects must crawl there and stick there and die. And so it happened! They collected a lot of bastards. We bought another cockroach trap. After the second one, we no longer saw parasites in our room.”

Therefore, traps should be considered more of an intermediate link between a disinfectant and a barrier means of protecting an apartment from cockroaches. Barrier devices that repel insects from an apartment that has already been cleared of parasites include ultrasonic and electromagnetic devices.

The price of glue traps ranges from 45 to 380 rubles. The best imported “Combat” type traps cost from 1000 rubles. and higher. Electrical traps that destroy with electric current – ​​from 2,500 rubles. and higher. An ultrasonic repellent device of domestic production costs on average 900 rubles, a foreign manufacturer - 4000 rubles. Electromagnetic devices have an approximate cost of about 850 rubles.

Trap "Raid" - a means of enteric contact action

Once in the body of a cockroach, the toxic substance affects the nervous system, causing paralysis and death of the animal. The way the trap works is to get the cockroach to pass through it. Thus, he becomes infected himself and spreads the poison among the population. The poison also has a negative effect on reproductive function, reducing the likelihood of emergence and the number of young individuals. Advantages:

• The components included in the traps are harmless to humans, but attract insects with their smell.
• The active ingredient is lambda cyhalothrin.
• The number of discs in a package is from 4 to 12. It is convenient to place them in different places in the room to ensure the extermination of cockroaches, as well as for preventive measures.
• The disks have fastenings in the form of double-sided tape. The trap can be placed on vertical surfaces.
• It is prohibited to place discs near food products and in direct contact with children.
• One trap is enough for 3 months of use.
• There is no need to clean the disk from dead cockroaches.
• The price of the package depends on the number of discs. The cost starts from 200 rubles.

Electric trap "GoGreen"

An effective remedy for cockroaches of various types that have settled in any room. This option for getting rid of insects is suitable for those places where, for various reasons, it is impossible to use chemicals for cockroaches or for prevention. Advantages:

• Small size of the device. It is a plastic box, inside of which there are electrical contacts and a place to place the bait.
• The current in the trap is not strong enough to harm a person. But this power is quite enough for cockroaches.
• To work, just connect it to a power outlet or via an adapter to a USB connector.
• One device is enough for a room of 40 square meters.
• There are no chemicals, so it has zero toxicity.
• The only negative is the need to shake out dead individuals.
• The price of an electric trap is from 5,000 rubles.

You can build a regular trap with a sticky layer or with electrical contacts yourself at home. This will require a minimum of effort and some skills, but at the same time you will be able to save on your purchase.

Household traps for cockroaches are the best and most effective way to prevent insect reproduction. If you urgently need to get rid of large colonies, it is better to treat them with chemicals and then set traps that will deter the appearance and spread of new insects.
