There are several drugs Cuts from cockroaches: powder, gel of different types. Each of them differs in shape, properties and level of efficiency. To choose the appropriate option, pay attention to the advantages and disadvantages of the funds. Fighting cockroaches has its own characteristics. If you carry out the procedure for processing the premises according to all the rules, the drug used will give good results.
Pros and cons of using gels
Cockroach gels have a number of advantages:
- Convenience. The gels do not leave stains on floors and furniture; the remains of the product can be easily wiped off with a damp cloth. The drug is produced in a special tube, from which the contents are squeezed out in the habitats of parasites. The dosage of the gel is determined by the special syringe included in the kit.
- Validity. The components of the poisonous gel are active for up to two months. This time is enough to eliminate insects.
- Efficiency. Compared to aerosol agents that kill cockroaches pointwise, gels are massive. After contact with the insecticide, the affected insect transfers the insecticide to other individuals. After a while, all the cockroaches die and there is no need to re-process the premises.
- Safety. Helium insecticides contain a minimum amount of poison, which means they are practically non-toxic to humans and animals. In addition, they do not smell, do not dissolve in the air and taste bitter, which prevents children and animals from eating them.
- Profitability. The product is applied in a thin layer or in drops. If the apartment is not heavily contaminated, then one tube is enough to process 45 sq. m. In case of significant contamination or processing of a room with a large area, the dosage is increased.
There are also disadvantages to using gels:
- Gels act gradually, as a result, insects do not die immediately.
- During disinfestation, the larvae do not die. Insects die only after emerging from the larvae.
Chinese liquids
China is not limited to the production of powder insecticides. The assortment of pesticides includes preparations of a liquid consistency.
Shazhangnongsuoye
One of the highly effective agents used to combat cockroaches and other household insects. The main advantage of the Chinese insecticide is its safety for others. The drug does not have a strong irritating odor.
Liquid remedy
The emulsion is in a white bottle with a special cap that reliably protects the product. The main active ingredient of the Chinese drug is chlorpyrifos, which has a neuroparalytic effect on cockroaches and other parasites. As a result, insects die from paralysis and suffocation, infecting their relatives. The price of the drug varies from 100 to 200 rubles per bottle.
Application rules:
- The instruction in Russian allows you to correctly prepare a working solution and carry out disinfestation measures. The manufacturer recommends dissolving the contents of one package in 500 ml of water.
- The resulting liquid should be poured into a spray bottle and treated with the places of congestion, the intended habitat and movement of cockroaches. The first results are visible immediately.To enhance the effect, it is not recommended to deactivate the treated areas within 3 days. If after 3 - 4 days the treatment is repeated, then, according to the manufacturer, there will be no more cockroaches in the room.
Penji
The liquid product, packaged in white plastic spray bottles, is another Chinese "miracle" used in the fight against cockroaches. The presence of a special device greatly simplifies the procedure for processing the premises. The average cost of a bottle is 145 rubles.
Spray
What is included in cockroach gels
The composition of helium poisonous preparations contains:
- Insecticides. Gel manufacturers add fipronil, cypermethrin, diazinone, hydramethylnone, and other substances. Some gels contain more than one type of chemical, which increases the chances of a positive result. But remember that multicomponent products are more toxic.
- Fat base. Creates an obstacle to the drying of the gel, allows it to remain effective for more than one month.
- Attractants. Substances that attract insects by aroma. They spread to all individuals and kill them within a week.
The effect of the drug depends on the insecticide that is used in the composition. The poison is intestinal and contact. The former kill the insect after eating the gel, and the latter act immediately after the insect comes into contact with the drug.
How to use cockroach gels
There are two ways to apply the product:
- Squeeze out a few drops from the syringe and spread in the cockroach habitat. Insects prefer space behind furniture, baseboards, plumbing. Leave a distance of 5-10 cm between drops.
- Cut a sheet of paper into strips. Apply the gel on them with drops and spread in places where insects accumulate.
The consumption of the drug will depend on how contaminated the room is and what area it has.
When using helium insecticides, follow certain rules:
- If cockroaches attack the premises regularly, it is necessary to change the drugs each time. The new gel must have a different chemical composition.
- When disinsecting a room, cockroaches should be blocked from accessing water, which will significantly increase the efficiency of treatment.
- Combine the gel with other products of different composition.
- It is necessary to apply the drug with protective gloves so that chemicals do not come into contact with the skin.
- If the insecticide gets on the mucous membranes, they must be thoroughly rinsed with water. If the gel gets into the mouth, take activated charcoal and rinse out the mouth.
It is important to store the drug in a dark place in a tightly closed tube and observe the storage conditions indicated on the package.
Application area
Tool Rubit shows itself well during use both indoors and outdoors. However, on the street, the smell emitted by the gel becomes less concentrated, which makes the product weaker and requires frequent renewal.
Cuts is applied:
- in a private house;
- cellar, shed;
- in the country;
- in the apartment;
- in the garden and vegetable garden.
Commercial enterprises do not use this tool: syringes with gel have a small volume and can handle no more than 30 m2, subject to a low degree of contamination of the room. Consequently, containers of 15 or 30 g are not enough to handle 200-300 m2 of production, which makes the use of Rubit in any form uncomfortable for commercial enterprises.
Bullit gel against cockroaches
"Bullite" is able to destroy parasites in the shortest possible time. The active ingredient is fipronil at a concentration of 0.05%. In addition to the insecticide, there are water, food additives and a special composition that forms a gel.
Fipronil is a contact insecticide. Once in the insect's body, it paralyzes the nervous system, blocking the transmission of impulses, as a result of which the cockroaches die.The product has a IV hazard class, but when using it, it is important to exclude contacts of pets and children with the gel.
Review of Bullit gel: In a short time we managed to exterminate all the insects in the kitchen. Of all the tools that we have used before, "Bullitt" has proven to be the most effective.
Advantages and disadvantages of funds from the Middle Kingdom
The choice in favor of insecticides from the People's Republic of China is most often made for the following reasons:
- low price;
- ease of use;
- high rates of effectiveness in the fight against insects;
- economy in use;
- prolonged action;
- absence of contamination on the treated surfaces;
- instant effect.
However, opponents of Chinese chemicals are guided by the following arguments:
- Funds from the PRC enter the country illegally and do not undergo state certification.
- Most often, chemicals are toxic, potentially unsafe for humans and pets.
- The instruction is written in Chinese, it is impossible to find out the composition, expiration date and method of application.
- It is almost impossible to buy funds in stores, just order on Aliexpress.
"Global" gel
The drug "Global" is sold in packs of 75 ml. The tube has a sharp nose that makes it easy to apply. The gel contains cocoa butter, which gives it a pleasant chocolate smell.
The German manufacturer and the complex composition explain the increased cost of the drug. "Global" does not cause allergic reactions and is not dangerous to humans. One package is enough for pest control of a room with an area of up to 70 sq. m.
The drug has a bitter taste that does not allow the child to eat the gel. If the insecticide enters the pet's stomach, it will not cause severe poisoning.
Review of the drug "Global": A good drug that helped us get rid of cockroaches in the closet. Smells good, did not cause any reactions in animals in the house.
Important subtleties
The gel can be used in all areas of the home to get rid of ants and bedbugs.
- In the bathroom and toilet, the area near the ventilation, the laundry basket, at the base of the sink and toilet should be carefully cleaned.
- In the kitchen, it is necessary to apply the gel around the sink and ventilation, behind the refrigerator and stove, in the area where the bin is placed. If the fight is against ants, the "Cuts" agent is applied drip along their paths (the distance between the drops is 30 cm).
- In rooms, it is very important to pay attention to the areas under the baseboards, bookcases, drawers and niches.
If there are bugs in the room, they can also be removed with the help of "Zindan gel", in which case you should purchase a product from all insects. Its use is the same: you need to apply it drip to the places where bedbugs accumulate.
"Raptor" gel from cockroaches
Raptor can be purchased without any problems in specialized stores. The cost of a 75 ml tube does not exceed 150 rubles. One package of the product is enough for two medium rooms. The gel does not leave sticky marks, it is easy to remove it from surfaces, even after a long time.
The duration of action of the insecticide is up to 8 months. The pointed tip on the tube will allow you to get into the most difficult to reach places. Insects are attracted by the aroma of vanilla and apricot, which it uses.
Review of the Raptor anti-cockroach gel: The first thing that attracted me in this tool was a pleasant, sweet aroma. After numerous attempts to get rid of cockroaches forever, they still returned. Two years have passed since the application of the Raptor, since there are no insects in the house. There was no such effect from other drugs.
Spraying preparation for potatoes
Larvae and adults of the Colorado potato beetle are very tenacious. Cuts Monsoon can completely clear the garden from pests. The liquid concentrated product is available in a glass bottle (10 ml), which is accompanied by detailed instructions.
The main substance that kills the Colorado potato beetle, imidacloprid, is not destroyed under the scorching rays of the sun and is slowly washed off from the tops of potatoes during heavy rains.
To poison the Colorado potato beetle, you need to take a syringe, fill it with 1 ml of Monsoon liquid, dilute it with 5 liters of water. There should be enough poison for 100 m². After processing the garden, the pests die within 24 hours. Since the drug is hazardous to health, the instructions for use allow a single spraying at least 20 days before the start of the harvest.
The bottle costs about 60 rubles and is sold in all specialized stores. With its help, they not only destroy the Colorado potato beetle, but also poison the colonies of aphids and whiteflies on tomatoes, cabbage and other vegetables. For processing 100 m² of the garden, dilute 1 ml in 5 liters of water and spray the green leaves in the morning or evening.
Weevil
"Absolute-gel"
Another popular drug against cockroaches. The volume of the tube is 125 ml. With moderate use, one tube is enough for several rooms.
"Absolute-gel" is applied pointwise in places where insects accumulate. The effect of the drug is manifested on the second day after treatment, and in two weeks the maximum effect will be achieved. Correct use of the product will allow you to destroy cockroaches in one month.
Feedback on the "Absolute-gel" remedy against cockroaches: We tried the "Absolute" gel and the result pleased. Before him, they bought sprays and powders, there was no effect. I liked the big package, it was enough for a 4-room apartment and there was still more.
Reasons why the remedy does not help
After buying the coveted product and simple manipulations with it, you want to get instant results. But it so happens that neither the next day after processing, nor a week later, the cockroaches do not disappear anywhere. Most likely, there is one of six reasons.
- The shelf life has expired or the storage conditions have been violated. Before buying the product, carefully study the packaging, and also evaluate the microclimate (temperature and humidity) in the store.
- Too little time has passed. Perhaps you need to wait a little longer. Some remedies begin to work in a few hours, while others - in a few days.
- Cockroaches are migrating from somewhere. If the source of insects is a neighboring apartment, entrance or basement, make sure to block the loopholes in your home with them.
- The gel is fake. Cases of falsification of well-known brands have become more frequent. To protect yourself from counterfeiting, buy insecticide in large stores, not in stalls or in the market.
- Insects are used to poison. If an insecticide has been used previously, there is a chance that its repeated action will be less pronounced.
- The pests managed to lay eggs. The gel does not affect the eggs of insects, therefore it cannot prevent the emergence of young individuals.
The name and concentration of the toxic substance are indicated on the packaging of insecticidal gels. Choose a remedy based on the magnitude of the problem. The more cockroaches in the dwelling, the higher the percentage of the active substance should be.
Today, there are more than 4,000 species of cockroaches. Despite the fact that humans have been fighting insects for centuries, they continue to reproduce, adapting to the most toxic chemicals. Scientists believe that these pests will survive even a nuclear explosion. It is possible to control the cockroach population largely thanks to insecticides in various forms.
