Cypermethrin from ticks

Cypermethrin - a professional tool for the destruction of insects and arthropods both indoors and outdoors, belongs to the group of pyrethroids. This tool is used in agriculture for processing fields and orchards from pests. Cypermethrin allows you to cope with any insects that eat planting. But the drug has other uses. In the country, you can also use Cypermethrin from ticks. The drug has a lethal effect on arthropods.

Release form

Cypermethrin is available in 3 forms:

• powder;
• tablets;
• emulsion;

Powder and tablets are diluted in water according to the instructions, obtaining the desired concentration of the drug. The emulsion contains 25% of a toxic substance. The color of the liquid can vary from yellowish to brown.

On a note!

The name of the drug Cypermethrin 25% means that the concentration of the active substance in the bottle is a quarter of the total product volume. 25 percent solution is the most common form of release.

This is a 3rd generation drug that can cope with almost all arthropods and insects, including flying ones. The composition of the tool includes 8 components that differ in the way they affect the invertebrate nervous system. The tool refers to substances of intestinal contact action. Cypermethrin paralyzes the nervous system and invertebrates die. Cypermethrin is not very sensitive to ultraviolet light and does not decompose under sunlight.

On a note!

The tool has almost no effect on bees. This feature allows not only to use Cypermethrin near apiaries, but also to carry out quietly processing of country sites from tickswithout fear of the death of pollinators.

Advantages and disadvantages

Pros:

• middle class of toxicity, relative safety for humans when used;
• maintaining performance in an environment with high acidity;
• ease of handling;
• the ability to easily remove the product with an alkaline solution;
• death of invertebrates during the first day;
• prolonged action of the drug: 4 weeks;
• It has a weak migration ability and does not fall into groundwater.

On a note!

Due to the fact that Cypermethrin remains on the ground and plants, it can be used in the country from ticks of all families, starting with “herbivorous” pests and ending with bloodsuckers that are dangerous for humans.

Disadvantages:

• valid only on active ticks and powerless in front of the eggs, which is why repeated treatments are necessary;
• the duration of the action may be exaggerated by the manufacturer and be less than stated;
• it is impossible to process the summer cottage with Cypermetrin, if heavy rain was promised by the weather service: the preparation will be washed away;
• with careless handling may cause intoxication of the body;
• to dilute the powder or tablets, the product must be mixed for 5 minutes;
• not everyone likes the smell of the remedy.

The manufacturer indicates that cypermethrin is relatively harmless to mammals. But this is poison and, if handled carelessly, can cause undesirable consequences.

Instructions for use Cypermethrin from ticks

Since the drug is used to kill various insects, its concentration may vary. There is no need to use a concentrated product where a weak solution can be used. Ticks do not belong to easily destroyed creatures. In addition, when using Cypermethrin against ticks of blood-sucking groups, the drug acts only on a contact basis. This means that the concentration of the product should be higher than when using an insecticide against plant pests.

On a note!

The average consumption of 10-20 ml / l.

The average consumption of the solution per 1 m² is 50-100 ml. Often blood-sucking ticks use an undiluted ready-made emulsion, which is sold in bottles with a capacity of 1 or 5 liters. The amount of solution required also depends on the kind of ticks being destroyed.

The solution consumption per 1 ha depends on the type of blood-sucking mites and the number of plants in the country:

• ixodic on a plot with lush vegetation - 0.75 l;
• iksodovye in the area with sparse vegetation - 0.5 l;
• dermacenter and hemophysalis - 1.25 l, regardless of the number of plants;
• processing clothes from all kinds of ticks - 40 ml of solution per 1 m² of fabric.

Only outerwear that does not touch the body can be processed.

On a note!

It is necessary to carry out the processing of not only your site, but also the surrounding area. Parasite mites crawl poorly, but are quite capable of migrating several hundred meters in search of a victim. Especially mobile dermacenters.

In what time period to apply

Ticks are activated in early spring and the processing of the cottage should begin when the first thawed land has not yet appeared on the ground. But we must remember that with the melted snow, the product will also dissolve. The second treatment from ticks is carried out after complete melting of the snow. Next, Cypermethrin is used monthly, until the onset of frost.

During the ripening of the crop, the treatment of the site with this agent is undesirable due to the toxicity of Cypermethrin. In ticks, at the same time, activity decreases, but does not stop. Therefore, you need to use other acaricidesrepelling bloodsuckers.

Precautionary measures

Since the product must be concentrated for treatment from ticks, protective clothing must be used:

• rubberized jumpsuit;
• respirator;
• latex gloves;
• protective glasses;
• headdress.

Hair is completely cleaned under a headscarf or other dense headdress.

Important!

It is always necessary to accurately measure the dose, since the drug is poisonous and an overdose can be harmful to health.

The solution is prepared on the street. After processing, the protective clothing is washed. Also, within 3 days after spraying, pets should not be allowed into the area.

If the product gets into the eyes, they are washed with plenty of water. When processing the site, you must ensure that Cypermethrin does not get on the skin.

Prices for Cypermethrin

The price for a bottle of the drug in absolute terms is high, but the norms of Cypermetrine consumption must be taken into account. With a ratio of the expense of the product to the treated area, Cypermethrin is the most economical tool. Due to its low cost, Cypermethrin is used for spraying forest areas.

In Russia, the prices of the product vary greatly. 1 liter in Samara from 2100 rubles, in Moscow from 1800 rubles. A 50 ml bottle in Samara costs from 140 rubles. (this is the wholesale price), in Moscow 100 ml - from 500 rubles. The Moscow price for a liter bottle is from 1,500 rubles, and for 5 liters - from 7,000 rubles.

Reviews

Reviews about Cypermethrin from ticks from buyers are often good. Discontent is only the need to restrict movement on the site in the first days after using the tool. But tick bites atones for this slight inconvenience.

I usually buy pills, as they are conveniently transported to the country. They are light and take up little space, and there is always enough water in the country. I breed according to the instructions.Cypermethrin helps with ticks for less than a month, in addition, you also have to spray a strip of several meters behind the perimeter of the site. But we have a very tick-infected area.

I conduct treatment with Cypermethrin not only in the country, but also at home. I use different concentrations. But the tool equally well helps with ixodid ticks (in the country), and from mosquitoes in the apartment. It’s easier with the cottage, everything is there in the air. I drive everyone out of the apartment for the duration of the treatment. But then a month no flying parasites.
