Modern chemicals, although extremely effective, in most cases do damage not only to those against whom they are created, but also to humans. So, almost all of them are highly toxic, so they can cause poisoning or allergies. That is why, when we are faced with a choice: a quick solution to the problem (in this case, the destruction of bedbugs) or drugs with a delayed reaction, but more harmless in their composition, almost everyone chooses the second option.
But the modern chemical industry is constantly developing, supplying drugs for sale with great efficiency and with minimal harm to humans. Such a drug intended for the destruction of domestic parasites is a remedy "Foresight" for bedbugs. Customer reviews claim that due to its qualities, the risk of poisoning or allergies after using it is minimal.
"Foresight", what is this drug?
"Foresight" for bedbugs belongs to the latest generation of insecticides. It is produced in the form of a concentrated solution, granular powder or in the form of a suspension. It is the Forsyth suspension that is most suitable for etching the premises from bloodsuckers. The suspension of the product is of very good quality - it does not evaporate, so it is impossible to get poisoned by its vapors. The substance is sold in a bottle of golden sandy hue or deep brown color. The minimum volume of the bottle is 50 ml.
Composition of the preparation.
The main active ingredient (poison) in the preparation is fenthion, which is at a concentration of 25%. Action on the parasite: paralysis of all internal organs, with the subsequent death of the insect. "Foresight" from bedbugs destroys the shells of larvae and eggs. That is why, using the drug, you can get rid of not only adult insects (imago), but also completely from the entire population of parasites that have appeared in the apartment. The remedy begins to act in a quarter of an hour after it is sprayed, and the bugs will begin to die only after 1/2 day.
The toxicity of the agent.
Although "Foresight" it is low-toxic from bedbugs, but it still has this quality:
- The agent (suspension) does not evaporate, therefore it is classified as hazard class 4 (low or moderately hazardous chemicals). When the suspension comes in contact with human skin, it can cause hyperemia, but in a mild stage. The suspension is dangerous even if it gets into the mucous membranes of the eyes, causing irritation.
- The drug is capable of causing severe poisoning (chemical), therefore it is classified as hazard class 3, according to its effects when ingested.
- Working emulsion (its vapors) belongs to hazard class 2. If inhaled for a long time, it can cause allergies, fainting, dizziness, nausea or chemical poisoning of the body.
Generally "Foresight" from bedbugs, with the correct preparation of the solution (according to the instructions) and with all safety and protection measures, this is a completely safe chemical.
Advantages and disadvantages of the drug.
Like all chemicals, "Foresight" for bedbugs, the reviews for which are impressive have both positive and negative sides.
Pros and cons of the remedy
Foresight has a number of positive and negative characteristics. Among the advantages are:
- Efficiency.Achieved due to the prolonged action of the drug.
- The ability to get rid of other synanthropic pests.
- Moderate toxicity. When used carefully, it does not pose a threat to the health of people and pets.
- Possibility of processing with improvised means, without the use of special equipment.
Among the shortcomings, one can single out the rather high cost and complexity of purchasing a product in the required quantity. Concentrated emulsion is difficult to buy in stores, especially if a small volume is needed. It is a luxury to purchase a canister worth about 3 thousand rubles for processing a one-room apartment. Relatively recently, it became possible to buy "Forsyth" in a volume of 50 ml - the price in the online store is about 300 rubles. If you need a little more money - order a liter bottle of Force Site for 600-800 rubles. To be sure of the quality of the product, buy a product from pest control services.
Advantages of Forsyth:
- «Foresight» refers to drugs with a low toxicity class. The fourth group of hazardous chemicals, to which the product belongs, suggests that it brings minimal harm to human and animal health.
- Has no toxic fumes. This quality applies only to suspensions of this brand. Therefore, it can be used in any home where there are small children or people with allergies. It is also recommended for use in public places or in rooms where food is located (canteens, restaurants, kitchens, etc.).

When applying the drug to hard-to-reach places, it is not necessary to remove it immediately, during the general cleaning process. Remaining there and further, it will continue its action, already working as a preventive measure.

Forsyth is a chemical drug with a toxic effect, practically does not work on a person, but prolonged interaction with the drug can cause poisoning or allergies. When working, you must use protective equipment.

Important! Remove all products before processing, carefully close cabinets with products.
Disadvantages of the drug:
Although there are few such disadvantages, you still need to know them in order to increase the effectiveness of the remedy. Buying «Foresight ”should be taken into account, first of all, the following:
- Carry out processing more thoroughly, without missing a single corner or object. The drug acts on parasites only after direct contact with the suspension. Therefore, you should process, if possible, all objects, floor, walls, things, etc.
- Do not expect that after applying the product "Foresight" from bedbugs, the parasites will disappear immediately.The drug does not have a lightning effect, but it will destroy not only adult insects, but also their larvae and eggs.

Performance Reviews
We bought a Forsyth for bedbugs in the regional SES. The remedy helped not only to get rid of bedbugs. There have been no insects in the house for several months. For prevention, I advise you to re-process everything.
I made sure that no one is safe from this misfortune. There are bugs in the new house. It was summer. He sent his family to rest and undertook to poison on his own. I had to throw out the sofa, where there was darkness, darkness. I processed everything else according to the instructions. No bedbugs for a year.
I used Forsyte several times, but to no avail. Maybe I am so sensitive to smells, but it stinks terribly. I had to move to my parents for a while. But the neighbors also used it and were satisfied with everything.
The effectiveness of a professional tool available to the ordinary buyer is confirmed by positive reviews. Foresight / Foresight combines low toxicity, a potent composition, and a prolonged effect.
Considering all this, the very first treatment promises to be the last. To avoid any unpleasant surprises, be sure to inform your neighbors about the procedure. It is likely that they will need treatment for prevention.
How to prepare for processing?
Before diluting the drug to the desired consistency, it is necessary to prepare the room itself:
- Take out all unnecessary things from the apartment, but before that, inspect them carefully.
- Pack hygiene items, food, dishes in plastic bags and seal them tightly.
- Lay furniture apart as much as possible.
- Wipe dust everywhere, disassemble the "rubble" and throw away all unnecessary. If the house has old furniture that has long served its purpose, it is better to throw it away. It is in such old things that bedbugs most often accumulate, making nests and laying eggs.
- Glue the wallpaper, close up the cracks in the walls, if possible, nail in the loose skirting boards.
- Thoroughly clean the floor, skirting boards, sills, etc.
- Remove children, animals, birds from the premises and remove fish and flowers. Only a person should remain in the apartment, who will treat it with the Forsyth preparation for bedbugs.
- Prepare for work: Purchase rubber gloves, a gown, and a gauze bandage or respirator.
Such cleaning before spraying the drug "Forsyte" from bedbugs will help the agent to get exactly to those places where parasites most of all prefer to settle.

How to use the drug?
The effectiveness and speed of any drug depends, in most cases, on the correctness of its use. "Foresight" must be applied very carefully, trying not to miss even the most secluded spot in the apartment.
The manufacturer notes that the drug has a contact effect, since it does not evaporate. Only after the parasite touches the applied substance, the insect can become paralyzed.
To be sure of the complete treatment of the territory with this preparation, it is applied several times, with intervals between these processes in 3-4 days. The second method used to accelerate the effect of the drug "Forsyth" against bedbugs is its joint action with other means to destroy parasites. It can be Chlorophos or Microcin. Of course, these compounds are toxic, but their action will help speed up the destruction of bedbugs in the apartment.
Preparing the product for work is the third point to which special attention should be paid. An improperly prepared solution is a blatant claim for failure. When buying a drug, do not forget to read the instructions, which are necessarily present on the packaging, if this is not a fake product. Correct observance of the proportions when diluting the suspension will make this tool as effective as possible.
The drug can be used both for prophylaxis and as the main drug:
- To prepare a product for treating an infected room, the solution must be highly concentrated: 50 ml of the substance is diluted in 1 liter of water.
- For preventive treatment, the premises can be diluted in the same way as for the main process, but a less concentrated solution can be made: 20-25 ml per 1 liter of liquid.
To prepare the solution, use cold water: a liquid with a higher temperature reduces the toxicity of the substance. One bottle (50 ml), after diluting it in water, can be used to treat an area up to 40 m². If it is used as a prophylactic agent, then a 4-room apartment can be completely treated with such a solution.
The effect of the drug on bedbugs
Self-control of bedbugs
The drug received high marks for the high-quality destruction of bedbugs. The death of insects occurs after Forsyth hits the chitinous integument of the insect. There is a rapid paralysis of the nervous system and the bug dies. The period from the first exposure to destruction is 8-12 hours.
The problem with many products is that they work on adults. New ones emerge from the eggs and the development cycle repeats. It is necessary to carry out several re-treatments. Foresight has a long period of action, and the hatched bugs die immediately.
Foresight stays in the apartment for 4-6 months, this creates a protective barrier and new ones do not appear. If during the entire period of the presence of bedbugs, the apartment can be considered rendered harmless.
How to apply the product?
Due to its quality, it does not leave marks and streaks behind "Foresight" can be applied completely to all objects, furniture, ceilings, walls, wallpaper and even fabrics (upholstered furniture, curtains, curtains, carpets, etc.). If the floor covering is made of wood and is rather old (there are chips, cracks, etc.), then the solution must be poured into these cracks. They also do it with skirting boards or with cracks in furniture, walls, doors, windows ... After all, it is in such places that these parasites like to gather.
After finishing the treatment of the premises with the drug "Forsyte" for bedbugs, you must leave the house for 12 hours. Regardless of the fact that the product practically does not evaporate, its concentration in the air is too high (especially if it is sprayed with a spray bottle). Long-term stay in such a room can still negatively affect human health: dizziness or nausea may occur.
Foresight for bedbugs - reviews
The price, I must say, bites - I immediately had to shell out 900 rubles, although it was effective, but a lot remained with a margin. Probably because a tool for those who are engaged in the extermination of insects professionally. Before that, we tried cheaper and more affordable analogues - it helped only for a short period.
In general, after the first application of Forsythe, the bugs died.They were etched again after 4 weeks with a less concentrated solution. Maybe in vain, but I really didn't want a repetition.
Valentina, Dmitrov
Expensive, but high quality. I was always of the opinion that it is better to take it once and get guaranteed results. Reviews for household insecticides were controversial, so there was no question of preference - I immediately bought Forsyth and a good respirator in the kit. I am satisfied with the action of the drug, I recommend it.
