The insectoacaricidal agent Agran is produced in India, but is very popular in the Russian market. If it is assumed that the drug is insectoacaricidal, then this means that it can fight several types of parasites (bugs, cockroaches, fleas), getting not only inside the body, but also on the surface of the insect.
In professional disinsection, the drug is considered one of the best in the fight against bed bugs. At home, Agran also found wide application for these purposes. But we must honestly admit that opinions about Agran were different. He helped some very much, others were disappointed in him.
We offer two different customer reviews on the use of "Agran"
Feedback
“It so happened that I had to call the sanitary and epidemiological station to carry out the treatment of the apartment from bedbugs. The disinsector was very late. He explained this by the fact that there are a lot of orders. After a cursory examination of the premises, I concluded that there is no need to panic, since the apartment is not heavily affected by insects and he will easily save us from this misfortune. It took a lot of time to conclude the contract, only then the treatment with Agran began. The smell was disgusting, it lasted a very long time in the room. After all the inconveniences experienced, it turned out that we had not gotten rid of the bugs! It seems to me that there are even more of them. These are the professionals who work for us ... "
Alla, Moscow
Most likely, this situation occurred because insecticides, including Agran, do not act on the laid eggs of parasites, therefore, after treatment, a new appearance of insects is possible. But "Agran" has a delayed effect, which means that the larvae that appear will also be destroyed, you just need to wait a while.
Feedback
“The best effect in the fight against bed bugs is provided by Agran. I was personally convinced of this. Having tried all the means, they processed every corner of the house, the flesh to the point that they had to remove the wallpaper. Nothing helped until we got Agran. Although I will say right away they did not believe in success. The smell was eerie, after three weeks, the pets are still living outside. But in the apartment, the smell is almost no longer felt. We still can't believe that there are more bedbugs! Agran helped us and all the inconveniences associated with processing are worth our peace of mind ... "
Victor, from the correspondence on the forum.
"Agran", despite its positive qualities in the fight against bedbugs, has a significant disadvantage, which is that it has a characteristic repulsive odor, which remains in the room after treatment for quite a long time. It will soar not only in the air, but also pieces of furniture, clothing, are also saturated with it. Before starting work, taking into account this disadvantage, it is necessary to remove animals and people from the premises. It is imperative to use gloves and a respirator during disinfestation, otherwise you can get severe poisoning if the drug enters the body.
A few words about the cost of "Agran": the price per package is quite reasonable. For 50 ml of a concentrated product, you will pay about three hundred rubles. According to the instructions, this concentrate will be enough for you to process 100 sq. meters. There is a drug on sale that is packaged in containers of 1-5 liters (the cost will be from 1700 rubles).
Why doesn't Agran always give the desired result? We will talk about this in our article. But first, let's read about the constituent components of this drug and how it works on bed bugs.
General description and composition
Agran belongs to the powerful insectoacaricidal agents approved for use at home. They can handle residential and non-residential premises: warehouses, kindergartens, hospitals, apartments, private houses, industrial premises.
The power of the product is due to two powerful insecticides that are part of the composition: chlorpyrifos and cypermethrin. Each of them provides a powerful insecticidal effect, and together they catalyze and reinforce each other.
In addition to cypermethrin and chlorpyrifos, Agran includes:
- stabilizers;
- fragrances;
- emulsifiers.
Agran is effective against most domestic insect pests, but practically ineffective against clutches, adults or parasite eggs
Agran is produced in India and has a wide spectrum of activity. In addition to destroying bed bugs, it also allows you to cope with cockroaches, red and black ants, fleas, mosquitoes, aphids, flies.
The average cost of Agran is 1,700 rubles per liter. This amount of the drug is enough to process several large apartments, if the processing is carried out pointwise, that is, in the favorite habitats of parasites.
How does Agran act on bedbugs, and how effective is the remedy? (+ video)
Considering the presence of two powerful insecticidal components in the composition of Agran, the high efficiency of the drug does not raise questions. Agran is really very powerful for the treatment of private and small spaces, it is ideal for the treatment of apartments.
However, it can also be used to process larger premises - warehouses, production spaces. Often, Agran is used by professional exterminators who value the product for its cheapness and effectiveness.
Very rarely, bedbugs or other domestic parasites have resistance (immunity) to the active ingredients of the drug. If this is the case and the remedy does not help, change it to another insecticide with a completely different composition.
It is not recommended to use Agran and another insecticidal agent at the same time - this can lead to intoxication due to the appearance of toxic fumes in the room.
Is the product dangerous for humans, pets?
Agran owes its powerful insecticidal effect to its high toxicity, which is also dangerous for humans / pets. Therefore, you need to work with the concentrate very carefully, strictly following the manufacturer's instructions.
Work must be carried out in protective clothing: rubber gloves, construction goggles, a respirator or even a gas mask, changeable clothes with long sleeves. After processing the room, we wash our clothes, wash our hands three times with water, rinse our mouth.
If the product gets on open mucous membranes, rinse them thoroughly with plenty of water. In case of complications from contact of Agran with mucous membranes, we consult a doctor (in person or call a local therapist / family doctor).
Composition and release forms
Insecticidal Agran contains two active ingredients:
Chlorpyrifos is the main component, the mass fraction of which in the preparation is 50%. It is an organophosphate compound that has a strong contact and intestinal effect on insects.
Cypermethrin - in the composition of the drug 5%. Its purpose is to enhance the effect of chlorpyrifos and provide an effect in cases where the destroyed insects are resistant to the action of the first component. Insecticide cypermethrin in the composition of the drug is used as an auxiliary active substance.
Argan auxiliary components include emulsifiers (8%) and hydrocarbon solvent (37%). By the way, in many ways it is an organic solvent that provides a pungent unpleasant odor from the concentrate and the finished aqueous solution. Meanwhile, many people unknowingly attribute this smell to the "deadly chemistry" used in Agran, although in fact the main components - chlorpyrifos and cypermethrin - do not have such a pungent odor.
Agran is relatively cheap. The cost of a 50 ml bottle of emulsion concentrate is about 300 rubles, and the instructions indicate that this amount with the necessary dilution with antibiotics is sufficient to treat up to 100 m 2 of surfaces in a room.
The product is sold in large liter and 5 liter containers for professional pest control.
Preparation for removing bedbugs
When working with an insecticide, it is very important to strictly adhere to the instructions and observe the dosage. Correct use of "Agran" implies preliminary preparation
Correct use of "Agran" implies preliminary preparation.
- Remove children and pets from the treatment room. The best option is that no one should be in the apartment for at least two days.
- The worker should wear a long-sleeved gown, a scarf on his hair, gloves, glasses, and protect his face with a cotton-gauze bandage or a respirator.
- Remove bed linen from beds. Remove carpets, rugs from the room, remove curtains. It is best to wash them after pest control.
- Place food in airtight containers.
It is also recommended to remove outer clothing and small pieces of furniture from the room if possible. Getting rid of the Agran smell is not easy, so this advice should not be neglected.
Places of treatment for bedbugs
Since bedbugs feed exclusively on blood and mainly at night, given the fact that they are inactive. We carry out processing around our resting place:
- Frames of sofas or beds
- The back side of carpets, paintings, places where the wallpaper does not fit snugly.
- Gaps in the floor and skirting boards
- Bedside tables, chest of drawers. Back wall, bottom and pull-out shelves.
- Heating panels and places under the windowsills.
- Electrical appliances, sockets and switches - De-energize in advance.
- As a preventive measure, treat the ventilation shafts, the front door frame so that the bugs do not run from you to your neighbors and back.
After processing, you should wait 5 - 7 hours (ideally, if possible, leave the premises for a day). Send your work clothes to the wash, take a shower yourself. On your return, ventilate the room well, wipe the contact surfaces (doorknobs, tables, chairs) with a solution of soda and water (a teaspoon in a glass of water). Carry out cleaning in 2 - 3 days, the presence of corpses will show how effective the treatment was. The residual effect of the drug will destroy the newly hatched larvae.
The World Symposium of Geneticists is taking place. An American speaks: - We crossed a cow with a chicken - we get milk, meat and eggs at the same time! A Frenchman speaks: - And we crossed a fly with a bee - flies in the trash heaps, and gives honey! The Russian speaks: - And we crossed the watermelon with cockroaches - you cut it, the seeds themselves will creep!
Breeding cockroaches
When working with an insecticide, it is very important to strictly adhere to the instructions and observe the dosage.
Correct use of "Agran" implies preliminary preparation.
- Remove children and pets from the treatment room. The best option is that no one should be in the apartment for at least two days.
- The worker should wear a long-sleeved gown, a scarf on his hair, gloves, glasses, and protect his face with a cotton-gauze bandage or a respirator.
- Remove bed linen from beds.Remove carpets, rugs from the room, remove curtains. It is best to wash them after pest control.
- Place food in airtight containers.
It is also recommended to remove outer clothing and small pieces of furniture from the room if possible. Getting rid of the Agran smell is not easy, so this advice should not be neglected.
Let's consider how to use "Agran" from cockroaches. The principle of operation is in many ways similar to the breeding of bedbugs.
- Carry out preliminary preparation of the premises, put on protective clothing.
- Remove people and pets from the treated living space.
- Prepare a solution. One 50 ml bottle of product will be enough to prepare 5 liters of working solution. It is enough for disinfestation of a room with an area of 50 sq. m.
Then spraying is carried out, while it is important to focus on the following places that are loved by insects:
- cracks and crevices in the floor, walls;
- near sewer pipes;
- at the ventilation;
- next to household appliances in the kitchen;
- area next to the sink and sink;
- area next to trash can and heaters;
- along the skirting boards;
- places behind cabinets.
After application, the insecticide is left for a day, then the room is ventilated for an hour, cleaning is carried out using a soap and soda solution (50 g of soda and 30 g of laundry soap per liter of liquid), it is very important to properly wipe those areas where hands may come into contact with the remains of the solution. Invite people and pets into the room no earlier than 3 hours after wet cleaning
People and pets should be invited to the premises no earlier than 3 hours after wet cleaning.
If there is a large number of parasites in an apartment or house, all rooms where they occur should be treated, as well as adjacent rooms for prevention purposes.
What areas in the apartment need to be processed?
Since insects usually choose secluded places close to a person's bed, you should pay special attention and apply the solution to such areas:
- Gaps between skirting boards and the floor, places where skirting boards do not fit tightly, broken areas.
- Cracks around the window, balcony doors, interior doors. If the front door is at a distance of 2-3 meters from the sofa or bed, the area around it and the holes in the casing must also be processed.
- Zones of wallpaper detachment from the walls. It is advisable to glue such areas on time, since old wallpaper and walls that have not been repaired for a long time are a favorite place for bedbugs to live.
- Ventilation holes. Bedbugs do not live there often, but when spraying with an insecticide, they will probably try to get through the ventilation into a nearby apartment.
- Old furniture, cracks in furniture, folds in the couch, an area under furniture, especially near dust accumulations. It is imperative to check the drawers of the bedside tables and their back surface.
- Crevices and holes in the floor, as well as any other suspicious or nooks and crannies.
Treatment of premises from various insects
The use of an agent against some species of insects may differ slightly due to the habitat of different species.
- Bedbugs. The order of processing coincides with the general one in almost everything, except that when fighting bedbugs, it is necessary to pay special attention to places where linoleum lags from the floor, places where wallpaper peels off the wall, baseboards, cavities between the wall and baseboards, carpets. You should also determine in advance the places where these insects are most actively accumulating in your apartment.
- Cockroaches. Treatment from cockroaches differs in that in this case it is necessary to pay special attention to places with the greatest dampness, as well as to the joints of pipes (provided there are no leaks) of the water supply, heating and sewage systems.
- Mosquitoes. Depending on the building (a private house or an apartment in a high-rise building), they are treated either only indoors, or both the surface of the walls from the street and from the inside.You should also process the basement, not forgetting to coordinate this with other residents.
How to use Agran?
The drug has a rather unpleasant odor, moreover, it negatively affects human health and can cause symptoms of poisoning. Therefore, for the period of processing and the duration of the product (about a week), it is necessary to exclude living in an apartment or in a house of children and pets.
Without fail, before the implementation of pest control measures, it is necessary to properly prepare the premises:
- Remove all linens from beds, sofas (they should then be washed in hot water or steamed)
- Remove curtains, remove rugs from the apartment
- Vacuum large carpets thoroughly.
- Put food in the refrigerator, cereals and pasta - in tightly closed containers, bags
- Put cosmetics, personal belongings in bags, shake up outerwear well and also lose them in bags
Before processing the apartment, you should wear all protective devices - glasses, gloves, respirator. Next, the agent is diluted according to the instructions on the package, it is used in a convenient way. It is impossible to wash the solution from surfaces before drying.
Agran is toxic, so you must wear protective goggles, a mask and gloves before use.
The most correct tactic of behavior is to leave the apartment for at least a few days. If this is not possible, you need to leave the house for a day, then ventilate the apartment once, rinse the door handles and other areas with which the person comes into contact with a soda solution. Of course, the effectiveness of this technique of using Agran will be lower. It may be necessary to repeat the treatment if repeated parasite bites are noted after 14-28 days.
How to use Agran in an apartment
Any remedy for bedbugs in a residential apartment must always be used, observing all precautions. Agran has a very unpleasant odor and can have toxic effects on humans and pets living in the house.
To protect their health, it is necessary to remove children and animals from the apartment during processing.
Before proceeding directly to pest control, it is necessary to prepare the room in a special way, that is:
- Remove sheets, duvet covers, pillowcases from the beds. Remove curtains and bedside rugs, vacuum and roll up carpets. In the future, these things will need to be washed in hot water or processed from a steam generator.
- It is necessary to remove all personal belongings, dishes and foodstuffs in hermetically sealed bags or containers.
- If there is such an opportunity, then outerwear and some furniture should be taken outside.
- Before diluting the drug and processing, it is imperative to wear a respirator, glasses tight to the face, rubber or latex gloves.
Diluted Agran must be applied to the following places:
- Slots next to the skirting boards.
- Window and doorways.
- Places on the walls with peeling wallpaper,
- Ventilation holes.
- Joints, side and bottom parts of furniture.
- Back side of carpets.
- Cracks in walls and floors.
The applied agent is left on the surfaces until it dries completely. Then the room is ventilated and the places with which the person comes into contact are washed with water and soda. These are handles at doors, furniture surfaces, floors. Agran is not removed from those places in the apartment where children and pets cannot come into contact with this drug. Acting for several more days, the insecticide will destroy the entire population of bedbugs that has settled in the apartment.
You can evaluate the effectiveness of the drug after only two to four weeks. This is due to the fact that the remaining eggs can hatch again healthy and capable of biting individuals.Therefore, if you again notice bites on your body or see small insects, then you need to carry out pest control again.

Mechanism of action on bedbugs
Like many similar drugs, the Agran remedy for bedbugs has a contact effect that is detrimental to bloodsucking. For the active substance to start working, it must get on the body of the parasite. As a result of paralysis of nerve cells, the insect dies, having time to infect many relatives.
Since the toxic components of the chemical disappear after a week, it is capable of killing many adults and their larvae. If the bloodsuckers managed to lay eggs and young animals will hatch from them in a few days, the Agran preparation will cope with it.
Possible failure
What do people say about the correct use of the tool and the likely mistakes? Reviews of this drug suggest that it will be possible to fail in some cases. This is due to the fact that people do not always take into account all the nuances when fighting insects. To avoid such incidents, you must follow some rules, which are as follows:
- If the room is not sufficiently processed, then many bugs will remain alive, thanks to which they will be able to reproduce further.
- If during processing almost all insects are destroyed, then the remaining eggs will give a new generation in a few weeks. If a person does not re-treat the premises until the puberty of the surviving young individuals, then the insect population will recover again after some time.
- Even if you do everything right, and in the process of processing all the bugs will be destroyed, then new parasites can penetrate into the apartment from the neighbors. Practice shows that few people think about blocking the migration routes of these parasites, as well as about preventive measures.
Preparation of the room for processing and precautions
It is forbidden to treat children, pregnant and lactating women. It is forbidden to apply to persons with skin diseases, sensitive skin to chemicals. It is forbidden to smoke or eat during processing. Carry out processing with open windows. If the solution gets on the skin, rinse with running water and 2% water-soda solution (a teaspoon in a glass of water). In case of contact with eyes, rinse abundantly with running water, if irritation of the mucous membrane appears, drip with 30% sodium sulfacil solution. After processing, send the clothes to the wash, take a shower yourself and rinse your mouth.
Preparing the premises for processing is as follows:
- To begin with, we carry out mechanical processing of the room with a vacuum cleaner, this will help us partially get rid of adults, open the nests and estimate the volume of infection in the room.
- Next, we move all the furniture away from the walls, remove bed linen and curtains with curtains.
- We remove carpets, paintings and all decorative elements from the walls.
- We turn over mattresses and upholstered furniture.
- We hide clothes in closets if internal processing of the closets themselves is not required.
- We pack foodstuffs in plastic bags and take them out in the same way as dishes, cosmetics and personal hygiene products.
- Houseplants and aquariums are brought out or covered tightly.
- People and pets are also removed from the treated area.
- Send bed linen and soft toys to the wash, mode from + 50 ° C.
Precautions
It is important to remember that "Agran" is a poisonous substance, therefore, work with it must be carried out in compliance with safety measures.
- Do not smoke, eat or drink while preparing the solution and spraying it.
- The processing process can take more than 2 hours, so every 40 minutes it is recommended to take a break for 10-15 minutes, during which you go out into the fresh air.
- After the end of the disinfestation, you should take out the protective clothing outside and ventilate it, then soak it in a soap and soda solution (50 g of soda and 30 g of soap per bucket of water), wash.
- After finishing the treatment, wash your hands and face with soap.
- If the product accidentally comes into contact with the skin, immediately wash the area with running water and soap.
- In case of contact with eyes, they are also washed, after which it is necessary to drip "Albucid".
If a person accidentally inhaled poisonous vapors, it is important to immediately go out into the fresh air, rinse the mouth with a soda solution. Then take activated charcoal (12-15 tablets) with plenty of water.
"Agran" is an effective insecticide that helps to remove the most common domestic insects, but it should be used in strict accordance with the instructions and in compliance with safety measures.
Indoor use of Aran
A chemical agent for the destruction of bedbugs should be used, following all safety precautions. Agran has a very unpleasant odor and is toxic to residents and pets in the building.
It is strictly forbidden to store the diluted composition, as poisonous vapors can get into the air. In addition, after some time, Agran in a diluted form loses its properties. During the use of the drug, all residents are advised to leave the house or use protective equipment: glasses, gloves, a dressing gown, a respirator.
To carry out pest control, you need to prepare a room, namely:
- remove bed linen from beds, remove curtains, rugs, carpets. After processing at home, all these things will need to be washed, and it is better to boil;
- remove personal belongings and products in sealed containers;
- if possible, outerwear and some furniture should be taken out of the apartment;
- when working with a poisonous substance, be sure to wear personal protective equipment: respirator, goggles, gloves, protective overalls.
The main places that should be processed by Agran:
- holes near the baseboards;
- openings of windows and doors;
- certain areas of furniture, walls, ventilation;
- back side carpets;
- behind skirting boards, paintings and in places where wallpaper leaves;
- cracks, if any, in the floor and walls.
The product should remain on the surface until it dries completely. After that, the living space is thoroughly ventilated, and furniture, tables and all the necessary areas of the apartment are treated with a soda solution: door handles, furniture, floors. Agran can be left in places where children and pets cannot reach. Thanks to its long-term action, the insecticide destroys breeding bugs for several more days.
In order to understand how effective the action of Agran is, about twenty days should pass after processing. It takes so much time to wait, as the remaining larvae can transform into adults capable of starting to "hunt". Therefore, newly appeared bites or insects serve as a sign for repeated pest control.

Description of Agran means
Agran is an insectoacaricidal combination drug manufactured in India. Thanks to a well-calibrated composition, it has a wide spectrum of action and high efficiency. So, the agent is used against bedbugs, mosquitoes, cockroaches, ticks and other insects.
Agran is available in bottles (50-100 ml) and in a bottle (1 l)
Agran is a remedy that is comparable in strength to professional drugs, but available to a mass buyer.
The cost of the product (on average) is from 300 rubles for a 50 ml bottle and 1300 rubles for a 1 liter bottle.
The agent acts against the following insects:
- Cockroaches.
- Bedbugs.
- Ants.
- Fleas.
- Flies (adults and larvae).
- Mosquitoes (adults and larvae).
- Rat ticks.
- Wasps.
Composition and principle of action
Agran's active ingredients are chlorpyrifos (50% concentration) and cypermethrin (5% concentration). Both of these substances lead to disruption of the insect's nervous system, nerve conduction worsens, which, in turn, leads to paralysis. They have an intestinal contact effect, and therefore the death of an insect occurs both when drops fall on the body, and when eating contaminated food. The tool has a long-lasting effect - up to 7 days. It is used both for the destruction of existing insects and for the prevention of their appearance.
Both substances are resistant to environmental influences and are able to act for a long time. Unfortunately, chlorpyrifos can cause insect insensitivity, which is why it is advisable to avoid the practice of using low doses.
Agran belongs to the 3rd class of danger, and in the diluted form - to the 4th class, which makes it possible to judge the relative safety of the product.
Pros and cons of the remedy
Pros:
- High efficiency and wide spectrum of action. Due to the favorable ratio of active ingredients, the product is equally effective against most known insect pests.
- Adequate price.
- Long-term residual action.
- Ease of use. It is enough to dilute the product in water.
Minuses:
- Bad smell.
- The need to use personal protective equipment.
- The need to take out personal belongings from the premises, to take people out.

Features of the drug Agran
The main feature of the Agran remedy for bedbugs was the presence in its composition of two strong insecticidal components of different classes at once. Thanks to this, the solution is effective even in situations where the bugs are resistant to other simpler drugs.
In the process of processing an infected room, those insects quickly die, on the body of which the maximum amount of aerosol solution has fallen. The chemical molecules are able to penetrate through the chitinous integument directly into the hemolymph of the parasite, instantly causing paralysis of the nervous and respiratory systems.
The time of death of a poisoned bug depends not only on the amount of the drug that has fallen on the chitinous cover, but also on the stage of development of the parasite. On average, blood-sucking insects die within 1-2 hours after the first contact.
When processing, it is extremely important to find as many shelters and insect nests as possible.
After the applied preparation dries on the treated surfaces, a layer invisible to the human eye forms, which continues to retain its toxic properties.Dried grains of Agran against bedbugs stick to the abdomen and legs of the insect. Further, the poisoning proceeds in the same way as with direct treatment of the room, with an aerosol solution. The only difference is the time of death of the insects. The destructive effect of the dried concentrate occurs within 24 hours after the contact of the bug with the composition.
Terms of use for Agran
Like any other insecticidal agent, the Agran drug for bedbugs must be used in strict accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
It is important to remember that any slightest negligence and mistake can lead to serious allergic reactions and food poisoning in humans, and the treatment performed will be ineffective and disinfection will have to be repeated
Instructions for the use of Agran from bedbugs
There are 5 stages of Agran application:
- Before spraying Agran in a contaminated room, make sure that there are no animals or other people nearby who may be poisoned by the toxic and unpleasant odor of the drug. For protection, you must not neglect personal protective equipment - a respirator, rubber gloves, glasses and the most closed clothing.
- All carpets, rugs, bed linen must be removed from the room. You need to remove the curtains from the windows. Insects are often found in the folds of fabric and on the back of carpets. Agran is not recommended to be sprayed on fleecy and fabric interior items; for these purposes, it is best to use less toxic preparations and steam generators. The fact is that the toxic insecticide is perfectly absorbed and poorly excreted.
- All cracks and small holes in the floor and walls are subject to processing, where parasites can hide and form nests. Bedbugs often settle behind door frames and old window frames, so do not forget about them during the disinfection process. If there are places in the infected room where wallpaper leaves the wall, then you need to spray the solution here as well.
- Air vents in the kitchen and bathroom are the most common places where bedbugs wait out pest control. Therefore, in the process of processing, it is imperative to process ventilation.
- Often, bugs are located on the lower part of the furniture, so during processing, you need to turn over and move each chair, armchair or cabinet.
As the room infected with bedbugs will be completely disinfected using Agran solution (how to dilute the drug is indicated on the package), it must be tightly closed for several hours. In conclusion, the room should be wet cleaned and ventilated from an unpleasant odor.
The use of several active substances in the preparation at once completely eliminates the likelihood of insecticide resistance of bedbugs. Scientists do not know of a single insect population that could develop resistance to chlorpyrifos and cypermethrin. If you use an insecticide in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, then all parasites in the house will be destroyed. Agran for bedbugs - (taking into account reviews, price and method of using the drug) is the best choice for every buyer.

Agran instructions for use
Agran belongs to the 3rd hazard class (moderately toxic), and the diluted working solution belongs to the 4th hazard class (low toxic). But in fact it is poison and therefore the use of protective equipment in the form of rubber gloves, goggles, a respirator and changeable clothing is mandatory. The product is a concentrated water-based emulsion. We dilute with clean water at room temperature in proportions: for the destruction of cockroaches and wasps 10 ml / 1 l of water, for bugs, ants and rat mites 6 ml / 1 l of water, mosquitoes and fleas 3 ml / 1 l of water. The consumption of the working solution depends on the absorbent properties of the surface and is 50 - 100 ml per 1 m2. Processing is carried out by spraying with a spray gun, and by spraying with a paint brush (consumption will increase).
Interesting fact: In the 18th century, bedbugs had a special medical value: they were used in the treatment of hysteria. And from the 19th century, they began to invent means of dealing with them - "bedbugs", rubbing with perfume and using conspiracies from them.
Method of administration and dosage
