Dichlorvos from bugs

Dichlorvos against bedbugs was first launched on the Soviet market around the middle of the 20th century. At that time, it was a worthy response of the domestic chemical industry to the release of aerosol insecticide from the Bayer concern. The convenient form has determined the popularity of the insecticidal-acaricidal agent.

Composition and properties

The action of Dichlorvos, which firmly won the favor of consumers in Soviet times, was based on the effects of insecticides from the group of organophosphorus compounds. The drug effectively destroyed not only synanthropic insects flying, crawling and jumping, but was also used in the fight against pests of the garden.

Dichlorvos had several drawbacks:

• high toxicity for mammals - dimethyldichlorovinyl phosphate belongs to hazard class I-II, the substance can penetrate the epidermis and cause poisoning;
• unpleasant chemical odor that persists for a long time after processing;
• when sprayed directly on the leaves of plants, they sluggish and turned yellow.

Manufacturers

Consumers are accustomed to trust Dichlorvos, so modern manufacturers have retained the familiar name, but changed the composition of the product. Modern Dichlorvos is a completely different drug produced by different companies. Each of them makes its changes to the tool.

Feedback

Bed bugs got into our apartment with new upholstered furniture. I don’t know how they got there, but they caused a lot of anxiety. The seller advised to poison the parasites odorless Dichlorvos Eco. He did not stink, since the one that was sold in Soviet times, so you could sleep on a new sofa right away.Bedbugs crawled for several days as drunk, but then all disappeared. One bottle was enough - and the problem was solved.

Manufacturers from other countries also produce Dichlorvos with various prefixes in the name:

• Dew Tox (Dew Tox) Turkey - a perfumed product with a variety of aromas;
• Buntoks (Turkey) - an odorless remedy.

The variety of synanthropic insects under the trade name "Dichlorvos" prove that the drug has not lost its popularity and got rid of its shortcomings, it successfully competes with other aerosols against insects.

On a note!

Consumers are interested in how much Dichlorvos costs if its composition is almost the same for different manufacturers. The price of Dichlorvos depends on the volume of packaging and the rating of the company that produces it. On average, it ranges from 60-200 rubles. Domestic funds are cheaper, while imported ones are more expensive, although there are no differences in effectiveness.

I bought a new Dichlorvos Terminator from bedbugs. Processed according to the instructions not only the bed, but also all the places, where bugs can hide in the apartment. Despite the fact that the seller assured that the smell will not be felt, but it smelled of chemistry, although not so much. After airing, even the memories were gone. It was possible to destroy the bugs at a time and it took not so much. The amount turned out to be small. But I was ready to pay even more - a quiet sleep is more important. However, the consultant in the store said that you should not overpay for an import one - our Dichlorvos will help no worse. I was convinced of this in my experience.

The mechanism of action of drugs

To understand how dichlorvos acts, you need to familiarize yourself with its composition. Synthetic pyrethroids and similar natural peritrins are included in the insecticidal-acaricidal agent. Their mechanism of action is similar. Contact-intestinal insecticides penetrate the insect through the cuticle or into the digestive system. Substances block the transmission of nerve impulses to the muscles of organs. As a result, there is an overexcitation of the nervous system and muscle spasm, which leads to failure of the main organs and death of the parasite.

The addition of synergists of pyrethrins provides increased action of the latter. Does Dichlorvos kill bugs - thanks to a combination of the effects of the constituents of the complex, it has a pronounced acute effect against synanthropic insects sensitive to pyrethroids and resistant to major insecticides.

On a note!

The effectiveness of the drug against bedbugs was noted when applied locally to clusters of bugs and their larvae, the residual effect does not differ in duration. On the the eggs the product does not work, as the embryos are protected by a dense shell.

Klopov discovered quite unexpectedly. I have bug bites did not cause any discomfort. I attributed individual specks to mosquitoes. But when the grandson came to visit, after the first night he was very bitten. They began to look and discovered in the couch and in bed the whole family. I decided to try to get rid of bedbugs by Dichlorvos. I sent my grandson to the store for an aerosol, and he brought three bright spray cans. It turned out that this is also Dichlorvos Varan. Prepared to leave for relatives - I remember how in my childhood I stank for a long time and unpleasantly after the persecution of insects. But the drug smelled pleasantly of lemon, and acted even more efficiently than the old one. So just a few hours walked with his grandson and returned home. The bugs have disappeared.

Due to its multidirectional action and balanced composition, aerosols can be used against flying (bugs, nests, mosquitoes, moths), crawling (bugs, cockroaches, ants, skin-eaters) and jumping (fleas) parasites.

These drugs belong to hazard class 3-4 - they can kill insects, but are safe for warm-blooded animals and humans.Sensitizing and skin-resorptive effects on humans have not been identified.

Reviews about dichlorvos are various. Most of them are positive, but there are also negative ones. Their appearance is associated with improper use and non-compliance with the processing rules, which are recommended by the instructions for use.

Instructions for use

The action algorithm for the destruction of pests is quite simple:

• Before using Dichlorvos to erase all bugs, the room must be freed from textiles and carpets;
• furniture to move away from the walls;
• remove all small things - hygiene items and cutlery, food;
• remove pets from the apartment, take out plants;
• close windows and doors, excluding drafts;
• all residents must leave the premises;
• start processing from the wall opposite from the entrance - processing surfaces, retreat to the apartment door;
• extermination of parasites in all rooms;
• poison arthropods is necessary not only in bed - carefully process secluded places where bloodsuckers can hide - skirting boards, crevices, joints and crevices of furniture, places under the wallpaper;
  

  

• spray the drug by placing the container at a distance of 20 cm from the surface to be treated;
• to remove bed bugs from bedding should be washed in hot water and a hot iron;
• keep the apartment closed for at least 2-4 hours;
• ventilate the room with a through stream of air for at least 30 minutes;

Important!

It is impossible to process bedclothes, clothes or soft toys from Duglofos from bedbugs.

Modern drugs for bedbugs pose a negligible danger to the human body, but the disinsection of the apartment should be in personal protective equipment - rubber gloves, glasses, a respirator. The body should be completely covered by clothes with long sleeves and legs.

Choosing a familiar and affordable remedy, many are wondering if it is possible to bring out bedbugs with Dichlorvos. According to the results of studies on the effectiveness of drugs, it was found that as a result of a single treatment 89% of the bugs are destroyed. Secondary processing, carried out after a week, eliminates the remaining bugs.

Each consumer himself chooses a good remedy for synanthropic parasites, but an analysis of the feedback from real users gives an affirmative answer to the question of whether dichlorvos helps with bugs.

The daughter brought "bloodsuckers" from a business trip. For a long time so did not itch the whole family! Experiment with folk remedies there was no time, therefore, I considered only chemical preparations. I remembered how before all the insects in the house were poisoned with aerosol. On the shelf stood an old dry Dichlorvos, from bugs to use it no longer made sense. I bought a new one, with the scent of lavender. Processed the entire apartment according to the instructions. After the first time, individual representatives still met. I thought that it would not help - the former, although it unbearably stink, but destroyed all the cockroaches and bugs the first time. But a week later, when he was about to apply a new portion of the poison, it turned out that the bugs had disappeared completely, and with them small gnats from pots with his wife's houseplants.
