Indoor insecticides
Preparations for home treatment are distinguished by a high concentration of insecticides, therefore they are quite toxic. However, only with the help of sprays can you get rid of parasites and their larvae.
When using microencapsulated products, in most cases, re-processing at home is not even required. The solution settles on the surface in the form of a thin film, crawling along which adults and larvae that have just emerged from the eggs become infected and die. The action of the solution can last up to several months. Therefore, general cleaning for some time after processing is not recommended.
The most popular and effective flea sprays are:
- Cucaracha is an insecticidal agent for the destruction of fleas, bedbugs, cockroaches. The active ingredients of the preparation are cypermethrin, which causes paralysis in insects, and the effective poison malathion. Thanks to them, the destruction of insects is more effective. To prepare a solution, 2.5 grams of Cucaracha powder is diluted in one liter of water. After thorough mixing, the spray can be used. To process one square meter of the room, 50 ml of solution will be enough. The product has a pungent odor that quickly disappears.
- The executioner is one of the most powerful drugs, which was originally intended to destroy bedbugs, but easily and without problems copes with the destruction of fleas and cockroaches. After its application, even re-processing is not required. In connection with such effectiveness, the tool began to be often forged. For an apartment or house of 50 sq. m. will require about 20 vials of the drug. Each of them is dissolved in ½ liter of water before use.
- Get is a highly effective insecticidal agent with a long residual effect. The spray is able to deal with fleas, bedbugs, cockroaches and many other household crawling insects. It has a faint orange scent and is absolutely safe for humans. One diluted bottle is enough to treat a 100 square meter home.
After processing the apartment, you need to wait for the solution to dry, and only after that you can open the windows and ventilate the room. Places where food and skin contact will come into contact should be washed with water and detergents. The floors can be vacuumed, but not washed. Sprays will act on insects for a long time.
If the room is slightly infested with insects, you can use aerosols. They are easier to use as they do not need to be diluted.The most effective are:
- Flea is an aerosol for combating fleas and dust mites. The drug effectively fights against adults, larvae, pupae and even parasite eggs. Processing is required only where fleas like to live. These are upholstered furniture, carpets, mattresses and bedding for pets. Floors covered with laminate or tiles do not need treatment.
- Raptor is an insecticide, which contains three complementary active components. The product is used to kill fleas, cockroaches and other crawling insects. Its disadvantage is toxicity, therefore, when processing a room with a Raptor, you must wear a respirator, rubber gloves and goggles.
- Raid is a fairly popular, advertised new generation tool. Has a wide spectrum of action and effectively fights fleas, cockroaches and other household insects. Destroys adults and their larvae. After processing, it is able to provide protection for the premises for six months.
- - a modern version of the old proven remedy for fleas, cockroaches, ants and many other insects. The new version of the drug is odorless and has little toxicity to humans and pets. One can is enough to treat an apartment of 70 sq. m. Once under the stream of Dichlorvos, the parasites die within a few minutes.
Sprays are the most effective flea remedies today. They can handle premises and animals. However, it should be remembered that cats and dogs cannot be treated with sprays designed to destroy parasites in an apartment.

Bars for dogs reviews of veterinarians
Marina, Moscow
I have my own veterinary pharmacy. Drops Bars for dogs are the most popular product. And this is completely justified and deserved. Grateful buyers write positive reviews about the drug and express their admiration verbally.
Leopard for dogs owner reviews
We have been using Bars for a long time. I drip my pet on the withers once a month and spray every time in front of the street. We do not remember about fleas or ticks. The tool is affordable, but very effective.
I have an adult German shepherd. Before Barça, she used an expensive French remedy. Infected with an ear mite. The veterinarian advised to try Bars. He quickly helped. Since then, I have only bought it for several years. I use it as a prophylaxis, especially in April, May, September - during the tick season. There was no need to treat, because no more parasites.
Why is it recommended to use the remedy
In cats that go outside and come into contact with other pets, fleas are inevitable. One ectoparasite, once on the skin of an animal, during its life (which is about 2-3 months) can make about 100 bites, lay more than 400 eggs. Ticks and lice also get on the body of pets. Sometimes animals become infected with serious diseases.
Ectoparasites must be eliminated, and eye and ear infections must be treated. About fleas, it is worth noting that they cause itching in animals. Pets itch due to constant bites. Ectoparasites are also dangerous because they carry various viruses and infections. Research has confirmed that about 60 flea species can transmit about 25 diseases.
Insectoacaricidal preparations have been developed to combat ectoparasites. They can be found at veterinary pharmacies. Special collars, sprays, shampoos are on sale. There is a great choice of remedies for the treatment of ears and eyes. The most popular drug is Bars Forte, produced in the form of drops.
Dosage
How to give drops to an animal and not cause intoxication? It is important to observe the dosage, which is calculated depending on the weight of the dog:
- weight from 2 to 10 kg - 1 pipette (1.4 ml);
- from 11 to 20 kg - 2 pipettes (2.8 ml);
- from 21 to 30 kg - 3 pipettes (4.2 ml);
- from 30 kg - 4–7 pipettes (5–10 ml).
For dogs weighing more than 30 kg and puppies, a more accurate calculation of drops is carried out from the ratio per 1 kg of animal weight / 0.1 ml of the drug. The exact dosage will prevent intoxication.
For the convenience of breeders, the manufacturer offers pipettes with a preparation of various volumes.
How to take Bars for dogs with otodectosis depends on the complexity of the disease. The standard regimen allows the use of 4 to 6 drops in each ear of the animal, once a day.
Collar "Bars" from ticks
The collar can be worn for the purpose of prophylaxis and treatment against parasites (fleas, ticks, lice). Not recommended for animals under 2 months old, lactating females, pregnant women in the last third, as well as sick and recovering dogs and cats. Remove the collar from the package, put it on the animal, adjusting it to size. Provides up to 4 months of protection with continuous use. There are no contraindications.
Drops Bars Forte
They are distinguished by the presence of citronella essential oil in the composition, which repels insects. This makes it possible to reduce the concentration of fipronil, diflubenzuron, dicarboximide. Thus, the drug is more gentle without losing its effectiveness. Bars Forte, due to the delicacy of its action, is used for puppies, as well as for adult dogs.
The dosage of Bars Forte is calculated:
- up to 1 kg - 0.18 ml (4 drops);
- 1-5 kg - 1.0 ml;
- 5-10 kg - 1.8 ml;
- 10-20 kg - 3.6 ml;

Application rules
As practice shows, in a critical situation, an antiparasitic aerosol is the most effective. However, many are reluctant to use it for fear of poisoning the animal or, worse, other family members. And completely in vain. If the instructions are followed exactly, then the risk of side effects from the use of such drugs is negligible. So what is the correct aerosol treatment?
Animal handling
The first step is to choose the right product.
It is important to consider the age and health of the pet. Some sprays are allowed for the younger generation and pregnant pets, others are not.
Remember, dog flea spray cannot be used on cats and vice versa.

- Then spray the product on your hand (which, of course, is in a glove) and rub it thoroughly around the eyes, then treat the ears.
