Many people are faced with the problem of the appearance in the house of all kinds of small insects and rodents. As a rule, such a nuisance always happens unexpectedly, but coping with it is not at all as easy as it might seem at first glance. This requires looking for a suitable method, purchasing the appropriate products, and in some cases even contacting specialists. At the same time, you need to correctly determine what exactly you need, because if almost everyone knows about such a term as disinfection, then not everyone has heard the definition of what deratization is.
Deratization is a term that characterizes a full range of measures aimed at destroying rodents. This primarily concerns rats, mice and voles, which can significantly damage property and make living in a house much more problematic. And if pest control is a set of measures aimed at destroying insects, then pest control is a set of measures aimed at combating rodents and no one else. It is important to understand the difference in terms, as it largely determines how successful the outcome of your pest control will be.
What is pest control?
This is a complex of measures carried out in order to destroy insects in the buildings of enterprises, catering, retail outlets, industrial and residential premises. Particular attention should be paid to the fight against gnawing and parasitic creatures, which is carried out in medical and children's organizations.
Views:
- preventive. Measures carried out to prevent diseases spread in the natural atmosphere by insects, control the vectors of infectious diseases;
- focal current. Processing is carried out in a place where the center of unsanitary conditions and the nearest area around it are located. This type of pest control provides a normal atmosphere that does not allow the emergence and spread of epidemics, kills the carriers of typhoid, malaria, preventing them from multiplying;
- the final fight. Measures are being taken to eliminate pathogens of severe infectious diseases.
Methods:
- biological. Extermination of all varieties of pests in a natural way, with the help of their natural destroyers;
- physical. Destruction of insects by shaking off things where the presence of individuals and larvae is possible, exposure to high temperatures, fire, steam, collection with a vacuum cleaner, using adhesive tape hanging in places where pests accumulate, protection with special nets;
- chemical. Spraying of special agents and preparations, which has a detrimental effect on parasites.
Good to know! There are several levels of insecticides. They are distinguished by the degree of concentration and danger. In everyday life, weak drugs are used that are available for free use. Professional pest controllers use the most effective, but dangerous for use in everyday life. Such drugs can be purchased, but they will be expensive and require special care when using.
When and under what circumstances is pest control carried out? Special services are contacted to get rid of parasites that are difficult to respond to conventional household pest control methods.Professional processing will help get rid of them, penetrating into the most inaccessible places: pantries with food, clothes and shoe cabinets, upholstered furniture, baseboards and other places where unwanted guests enter and live.
Disinsectors kill disease-carrying insects. These include:
- cockroaches;
- mosquitoes and midges;
- fleas and bugs;
- ticks;
- indoor ants;
- flies.
The sequence of pest control:
- determination of the type of insects, their estimated number for choosing the method of exposure and the type of agent
- audit of the premises, determination of habitats and sources of penetration;
- preparation of the solution, calculation of the concentration, if the agent needs to be diluted, and the amount per area of the room;
- preliminary work before the start of pest control, warning residents with an indication of the location of events in the residential, attic or basement space;
- treatment. Application of the drug in the selected way: by spraying, using a powder or solution;
- completion of work, involving thorough cleansing of processing agents and their residues;
- preventive actions.
Preparations:
- K - Otrin SK 50 is a German-made contact-intestinal preparation in the form of a suspension, intended for disinfection and prophylaxis of crawling and flying insects at public facilities.
- Sinusan 48% is a strong instant drug produced by Danish manufacturers. Its base, chlorpyrifos, has a high concentration, which leads to a long-term effect of the agent. Ease of use is provided by one and five liter plastic containers.
- Fendona 1.5 SC is a highly effective drug based on alphacypermethrinoma. The drug is produced in liter plastic containers.
- C.E. cypertrine 25% - a product of Italian origin with a prolongation effect. On the shelves, it is offered in barrels from five to fifty liter.
Disinfection - killing bacteria
Disinfection is the neutralization of harmful bacteria and microorganisms. It is used to remove unpleasant odors, since fragrances are nothing more than microscopic particles of what emits them. It can be carried out for rooms as a whole, for individual items, as part of the cleaning of any equipment or surface, for air disinfection, and for the destruction of mold and mildew.

Disinfection of bacteria of any origin for individuals, companies and organizations.
Cold Mist Disinfection
Technically, disinfection with cold and hot fog is carried out in the same way as disinfestation, but a different composition is poured into the generator - a disinfectant. Cold fog disinfection helps to solve the problem both on surfaces and in the air of a polluted room. The method is suitable for rooms for absolutely any purpose.
Hot mist disinfection
At temperatures of 50 ° C and above, microbes gradually begin to die. The higher the temperature, the more bacteria are killed. In combination with disinfectants, this provides the best killing effect, however, as with pest control, it is not always safe for the environment. With professional treatment, a specialist will be able to give recommendations on how to make hot mist disinfection safe.
If necessary, after treatment, the level of contamination from surfaces or from the air can be measured to ensure that it has reached acceptable, safe values.
note
Disinfection allows you to destroy most harmful bacteria, but you should not confuse it with sterilization - the total destruction of absolutely all microorganisms.As a rule, sterilization is required only in medical institutions, for private apartments, houses, companies and organizations, high-quality disinfection is usually sufficient, however, it is better to check with the SES consultant which procedure you need before processing.
What is deratization?
Rodent control, taking into account the specifics of the work site, the nature of the behavior of parasites, the situation in the area of the upcoming event. Deratization is carried out by professionally trained people, employees of the relevant service, engaged in the extermination of pests with drugs and methods that require professional knowledge and skills.
Measures that exclude the breeding of rodents are necessary for the safety of residents of multi-storey and private houses. Processing ensures the safety of stocks of crops and products, protects against infections. At the first signal, employees of the sanitary service arrive at enterprises, organizations, educational institutions to carry out appropriate actions.
Types of deratization:
- Preventive measures are provided to create obstacles to the spread of rodents in a given area. Processing involves providing conditions that are unacceptable for small vectors of infections. Actions are aimed at creating obstacles for rodents to enter residential buildings, enterprises, food production and storage shops.
- Extermination measures. The processing of premises is carried out in accordance with an agreement concluded with an official body or an individual for the destruction of rodents.
The extermination of small pests is carried out by different types of control:
- chemical involves the use of sanitary services, which is associated with the use of toxic substances. These drugs and products have a high level of danger. They are intended for the treatment of large objects, not all drugs are available to the average buyer, they are used exclusively by special services;
- physical. To catch rodents, they use the old, traditional mechanical method, then kill them.
- biological. The fight against rat and mouse invasions is carried out with the help of their natural enemies: cats, birds, plants, exterminating or poisoning rodents. Influencing them adversely, these species are absolutely safe for humans.
Preparations:
- Zoocoumarin;
- Ratindan;
- Monofluorin;
- Fluorocetamine;
- Zinc phosphite;
- Hydrogen cyanide;
- Sulfurous anhydride;
- Carbon dioxide;
- Barium fluoroacetate;
- Chloropicrin.

Types and methods of processing premises
The employees of the sanitary and epidemiological station are treating the premises for preventive purposes in order to protect them from insects and rodents.
All activities are divided into two types of pest control and deratization:
- Obligatory measures according to the drawn up schedule, in accordance with which the processing of basements and attic rooms, places of concentration of rodents is carried out.Preventive measures are taken to prevent the access of parasites.
- The second type of activity is the destruction of animals and insects at the request of residents or employees of enterprises, where rodents and insects, which pose a great danger to health, often start and spread throughout all adjacent premises of the house. They run everywhere, settle in basements, attic rooms, crawl into apartments.
In such situations, it is necessary to process the basement, all the available premises professionally, applying pest control, strictly following certain rules, using strong means that provide for the availability of skills when working with them.
It is unacceptable at the household level to use such drugs. This will lead to the toxicity of people and beloved pets.
Pros and cons
The implementation of activities to combat rodents and insects is generally positive.
Despite the benefits, there are details that are perceived negatively:
- Disinsectors in their work use toxic drugs that are dangerous to others.
- Bullying rodents causes disgust and compassion due to their death.
Positive sides:
- processing of premises gives good results, leads to the rapid death of pests;
- introduction of innovative techniques, for example, "dry fog", where the destruction of insects is combined with significant intensity and low toxicity;
- drugs with prolongation action are effective;
- treatment solutions are selected in the desired concentration;
- with neglect and high unsanitary conditions of the premises, means are used that are available only to special services;
- processing of all levels of premises, basements, in any area, is carried out in a matter of hours, adversely affecting rodents and insects. Preparations of enhanced action destroy pests in a short time.
- pest controllers, knowing the characteristics of reproduction and signs of the presence of rodents and arthropods, process all infected areas. With pest control on your own, this cannot be done.
What infections do insects carry?
There are dozens of species of insects in nature, food for which is the blood of warm-blooded animals and humans. These are fleas, bedbugs, lice, mosquitoes, horseflies, ticks, etc.
There are also insects that, although they do not bite, carry numerous infections... These are flies and cockroaches.
Neighborhood with such insects can turn out to be for humans serious problems: from allergic reactions to deadly diseases.
Next, I'll tell you in more detail what diseases the listed insects can infect humans.
- Fleas:
dermatitis (simple and allergic) - inflammation of the skin; - brucellosis - multiple damage to body systems (respiratory, cardiovascular, digestive, etc.);
- encephalitis - inflammation of the brain substance;
- tularemia - severe intoxication (poisoning) of the body + damage to the lymph nodes;
- other diseases.
- toxoplasmosis - especially dangerous for pregnant women (the central nervous system of the fetus is affected);
- dermatitis;
- tick-borne encephalitis - damage to the spinal cord and brain;
- dysentery - acute intestinal infection;
- all types of intestinal infections;
- dermatitis (simple and allergic)
The listed diseases, which are carried by insects, are a good reason for the implementation of regular disinsection in places of residence or mass presence of people.
Important details
- high-quality processing will require significant material costs. Treatment from tick-borne settlements will cost from 850 to 3500 rubles, the fight against bedbugs is estimated at eight hundred. Destruction of wasp or bee nests costs three thousand, fleas - from 1000 to 2500 rubles. Deratization procedure indoors - from 5 to 30 rubles. per sq. m, a hundred square meters of land - 600, slaughter of rodents - 12-29 rubles for each carcass.
- in multi-storey buildings, where traces of the presence of rodents or other pests in the basement are noticed, it is not so easy to call and wait for the arrival at the SES site;
- private companies to carry out pest control and disinfestation are required to have documents confirming the right to engage in this activity.
Rodents and harmful insects that settled in basements, in attics, crawling into cracks, penetrating by any means into living spaces, create risks of infection with infectious diseases, violate sanitary standards, and cause unpleasant associations. Fighting them requires considerable physical strength and time, skills in working with chemicals. Knowing what deratization and pest control of premises is, you can entrust the solution to the problem to specialists in the extermination of rodents and arthropods. Financial costs will be justified by cleanliness and safety.

Agrotechnical measures
Deratization measures of the agrotechnical direction most effectively create unsuitable conditions for the habitation and reproduction of rodents. These measures significantly reduce the number of small pests, h
this, in turn, prevents the spread of morbidity. Therefore, the epidemiological risk to humans is reduced. Harvesting should be carried out on time, not delayed. On currents / fields try not to leave grain / not threshed bread.
Chemical method
This method is the most widespread and effective. It consists in the use of all kinds of poisonous drugs. The chemical substance is added to the bait, they are sprayed with passages, water, holes, garbage containers. Sometimes a gaseous poisonous substance is used to pollinate holes and rooms.
If the chemical method is applied correctly, the result of the event will be the highest and stable. This method allows you to free objects and territories from pests in a short time. The chemical method occupies a leading position in small pest control activities.
Poisonous drugs are fairly stable substances. Therefore, they can be stored for a long time.
Sanitary measures
This type of work is carried out during the usual repair of rooms or during the capital development of the building. Sanitary measures do not allow small mammals to invade buildings of different purposes.
Special measures against rodent invasion include covering the following objects with wire mesh:
- Hatches that are low above the ground.
- Entrances / exits of tunnels.
- Basement windows.
- All kinds of those. boxes of industrial companies (especially food).
- Ventilation holes.
There should be no cavities in the floors between floors, and the floors themselves should be dense. In basements, the floor layer must be at least 12 cm, and only made of concrete. If there are wooden doors in the room, they are upholstered up to 50 cm in height with sheet metal. Special requirements for ensuring impermeability to rats are met when building warehouses for food, refrigerators, elevators, etc.
