Testimonials

What do people think about the drug, cockroaches from cockroaches reviews

Vladimir, Ekaterinburg: “After purchasing a new apartment, I noticed white fast-running insects - silverfish in the sanitary room. At first, I did not give this neighborhood any attention. Imagine my surprise when the insects moved into the room. Then they sounded the alarm and began to fight. The first thing that was done was a request for information on the Internet about the insect and how to eliminate it.

Nikolay, Novosibirsk: “While doing the repairs, the cracks were not repaired. It seemed that everything would be tolerated until next year - that was our mistake. With the onset of cold weather, woodlice attacked the apartment. Destroyed 15 pieces a day, but to no avail. We decided to take decisive action. A call was made to a special service, where assistance was denied.

What is "Cucaracha"

If you take a Russian-Spanish dictionary and look at how the word "cockroach" is translated, it turns out that this is a kukaracha. This general term also has a specific meaning: this is how the local flying cockroach is called in America. But the funny song of the same name is not about insects, but about the Mexican government troops - the song "Cucaracha" arose a hundred years ago, when the revolution took place in Mexico.

We will talk about a drug against cockroaches called "Cucaracha".

This modern product is available in two forms - gel (emulsion) and granules (powder), its insecticidal effect is provided by the fact that it contains malathion and cypermethrin, making this chemical superior to many other products. Therefore, even those who at one time despaired of taking cockroaches out of their homes speak with enthusiasm about "Kukarach".

The powerful effect is explained by the fact that the pesticide cypermethrin has the ability to penetrate the chitinous membrane, and malathion acts as a catalyst, accelerating biological processes and leading to the death of the insect within an hour after the poison has entered its body. But the deadly potential is not limited to this: since the consistency of the drug is such that the poison sticks to the cockroach, it drags all this to the rest of the population, and thereby greatly reduces it.

Instructions for use

Cucarachu do not smear on the surface immediately after opening the bottle - you need to prepare working solution... For this, 3 ml of the emulsion should be diluted in a liter of water. Please note that for maximum efficiency, the water should be cool, not icy.

The room needs to be prepared for processing:

• pets and plants are removed (children are sent after them);
• general cleaning is done;
• foodstuffs are put into the refrigerator, the refrigerator is sealed with tape.

Thereafter solution sprayed with a spray gun in places of the densest accumulation of insects.

Special attention should be given to various crevices, space behind skirting boards and furniture backs.

It will also be useful to treat the surfaces adjacent to the sleeping places of pets (this must be done with great care, since Cucaracha is dangerous for pets).

Spray the vents, especially if you are sure the insects are coming from neighbors.

Important. Regardless of the results, after 14 days, re-treatment should be carried out. The procedure is necessary for the complete extermination of insects, which may have survived in secluded corners.

How to apply

You cannot use Cucaracha in the purchased form. The drug must be diluted with water in the proportion of 2.5 grams per liter of water. Take water at a low and not high temperature, preliminary infusion of the composition is not required, that is, it can be used immediately after dilution.

One square meter takes about 50 ml of liquid.Only if untreated wood is sprayed, the consumption can double.

Feedback

I'll tell you about my experience, maybe it will come in handy for someone. I work in a hostel, well, you understand that in such places bedbugs are an integral part of the building. In general, we tried a lot of things to poison, but Tetrix helps the best. I work for them, a dignity of services that poison insects. Only you can't buy it yourself. We found a good alternative to Tetrix, Cucaracha. It turns out to be relatively inexpensive to poison. If properly planted, then all three floors can be processed. I really like the product, although it stinks terribly. But the sanitary and epidemiological stations also smell like chamomiles.

Ulyana Mikhailovna, Vologda

The easiest and most convenient way is to place the solution in a special spray bottle and use it to carefully process all surfaces, beds, furniture, not forgetting to look into the most secluded corners of the rooms. And don't forget the various pantries and baseboards. There, these creatures can definitely be caught red-handed.

And usually people forget about places like:

• all backs and sides of furniture;
• frame parts of upholstered furniture;
• space near the windowsills.

After processing is completed, ventilate everything. You don't want to get poisoned, do you? Open all windows wide open for about four hours, and then you can start washing. Dilute the soapy water and rinse off all traces of the product.

Be sure to do another treatment in a couple of weeks! This is necessary so that the individuals hatched from the eggs also receive their dose of poison. Otherwise, the nightmare may repeat itself!

Safety for people and pets

How the processing takes place

The preparation contains toxic components for humans and animals. Hazard class - 2 (medium toxic agent). Poisoning of the drug is characterized by impaired coordination, dizziness, inhibition of reactions, nausea, convulsive syndrome, convulsions.

Important! With frequent contact, malatonin works as a carcinogen, increasing the chances of developing malignant neoplasms.

The chemical compound is toxic to fish, inhabitants of reservoirs. The remains of the working solution are not poured into the sewage system, into open water bodies.

When processing and preparing a working solution, you must use protective equipment - gloves, respirators, goggles and a suit. Upon completion of work, work clothes are hung out on the street: for drying, airing.

Before disinfestation of the premises, all products, hygiene items are packed in plastic bags, the aquarium compressor is disconnected from the power supply, the aquarium itself is closed with a lid. Animals and people are removed from the premises for a while.

After processing, you need to leave the room for several hours, it is better to come in the morning. The room is thoroughly ventilated; to eliminate the smell of the drug, we will use a soda solution with laundry soap. In places inaccessible to animals and children, the product remains. The carcinogen malathion disappears in the first hours after treatment, and tsiremetrin destroys insect colonies a month after treatment.

Attention! It is recommended to refuse insecticides if small children live in the room. It is best to use special traps in this case. It will definitely cost more, but a child who has tasted a poisonous granule or powder by mistake will not suffer.

What to remember

If you have chosen this chemical, then the advantages of its use include the fact that you do not have to fight cockroaches for a long time: one careful treatment is enough - and after three days you can celebrate victory. But so that it is not overshadowed by undesirable consequences, you need to be extremely careful and accurate.

This is a good tool, but it also has drawbacks.In this case, it is the high toxicity of the drug "Cucaracha". Therefore, it is strictly forbidden to work without protective equipment and neglect safety rules.

If you follow all the instructions and, after processing, monitor the cleanliness and remove food debris, you can forget about cockroaches for a long time.

Granules

Granules "Cucaracha" are packed in bags of 30 g and 100 g. As a rule, plastic pieces are attached to the bags, onto which the substance will need to be unloaded in small portions. The packaging can be opened only after gloves are on the hands, and the clothes on the body are as closed as possible. Goggles and a respirator are desirable but not required.

Method of application: a small amount of granules on plastic substrates (if they are not there, you can take ordinary sheets of paper) is laid out around the apartment in those places where cockroaches like to walk.

Do not use plates and other utensils for this - with the exception of disposable plastic, which must then be disposed of. Favorite places for cockroaches are the surface of kitchen cabinets and shelves, the surroundings of the trash can, the space under the refrigerator. The latter is especially, since in modern models in the lower part of the back surface there is a container with water that accumulates during automatic defrosting. For cockroaches, this is an ideal watering hole, so the bait laid out under the refrigerator is guaranteed to achieve its goal: in three days the apartment will be freed from insects. All that remains is to sweep them onto a scoop and throw them away.

When working with granules, you must be especially careful so that neither children nor pets can get the product. You can't pour this poison down the drain.

Mechanism of action on cockroaches

This drug for cockroaches has a contact effect on living creatures. When the poison enters the body of the parasite, it paralyzes the nerve impulses of the mustachioed evil spirits. Unlike bugs, poison enters the body not only through the chitinous shell, but also through the digestive system. Cockroaches are very voracious and quickly swallow the bait. In addition, for example, Cucaracha gel contains edible ingredients that the Prussians like.

One of the properties of the insecticide is long-term action. The death of the Prussians comes in half an hour. In addition, in 2-3 days, cockroaches manage to infect relatives, transferring the poison to their colony. As for the duration of the drug's work, it retains its properties for up to a month.
