- Kerosene and turpentine have similar properties.
- Effective in bedbug control sagebrush. This plant was also scared away by pests by our grandmothers. Apartment in which there is a smell wormwood, will not become the habitat of the bloodsuckers.
- The tincture of valerian also has a repellent effect. It is enough to treat the sleeping area with it (bed, linoleum, windowsill, radiators) and the insects will not disturb you.
Electric barriers
There are also electric barriers from bugs. Such fumigant repellers have gained great popularity among consumers today, as they have a lot of advantages:
- security;
- long service life;
- easy way to use;
- affordable cost.
Electrical barriers are of the following types:
- Electromagnetic devices. They produce high-frequency waves that cause disturbances in nerve impulses in parasites, the consequence of which is their death.
- Ultrasonic devices. Bed bugs do not like their high-frequency sound, as a result of which the parasites tend to leave the room faster. However, not all reviews of barriers from bugs of this type are positive due to the low effectiveness of such devices.
- Aroma-fumigators - according to consumer reviews, these are the most effective devices for protecting an apartment from bugs. They are electrical appliances that, when heated, emit a smell that repels insects.
Chemical protection
One of the most effective ways to protect against bedbugs is chemicals that include insecticidal components. They also produce barrier treatment against bedbugs during the mass distribution of insects. Chemicals can be in the form of concentrates, aerosol, gels or dusts.
Well-proven concentrates Executioner or Averfos. To prepare the solution, the emulsion is diluted with water in the proportion specified in the description.Then they process the apartment, paying special attention places of the greatest concentration of insects. In case of excessive contamination of the room, all surfaces are subject to treatment.
Aerosol insecticides are also designed to treat infected apartments. An example of an aerosol product is Karbofos, Dichlorvos. Its uniqueness lies in the lack of the ability of parasites to develop immunity to the drug. No less effective is aerosol Combat.
Gels are an effective way to combat bloodsuckers. Especially convenient for families with children. The Barrier gel from bedbugs, Globol, gained great popularity. Blockbuster, Forssight or Absolute. The insecticidal agent is applied to paper strips, which are laid out in the habitat or along the path of insects.
Powdered insecticides, which, like concentrates, are diluted with water (the ratio of components is indicated in the instructions), can also save and protect the apartment from bloodsucking. The following brands of antiparasitic agents are especially popular: Raptor, Fufanon, Tetrix or chlorophos.
These drugs vary in price. They can be purchased in specialized stores in Moscow or ordered on the Internet. But whichever remedy for bedbugs from the above you prefer, it is important to adhere to the manufacturer's recommendations.
Professional processing and protection
If you can achieve the maximum result by self-processing, you can’t better use the services of pest control specialists involved in destruction of bugs with a guarantee. The principle of their work is based on the application of two main methods of extermination of parasites: cold and hot fog.
Cold fog and barrier protection
This processing technology allows you to split chemicals into microparticles, which can not be achieved with any atomizer. Thanks to this feature, insecticidal components penetrate even the most inaccessible places. As a result cold fog treatments the maximum surface area in the apartment becomes covered with an antiparasitic agent. The insecticide will work even if the bug managed to survive the processing process for one reason or another. After all, he becomes a distributor of poison, infecting more and more of his brothers.
After processing, it is desirable to establish a barrier protection. As a rule, these are special barrier gels that are applied around the perimeter of the entire apartment.
Hot fog and barrier protection
This method of barrier treatment differs from the previous one using a highly toxic gas-like substance. Whereby hot fog seeps into all inaccessible cracks, cracks, ducts and risers. As a result, bedbugs are waiting for imminent death. To achieve maximum effect, the treated room is left closed for at least 2 hours. Then it is thoroughly ventilated and wet cleaned.
To exclude the possibility of repeated bugs from neighbors or from the basement, experts recommend a barrier gel treatment.
