Reviews of Cypermethrin from bedbugs
On the advice of one of his friends decided to treat a private house from insects: bugs and ticks, which began to appear in the spring. At first, he doubted very much whether such a remedy helps from bugs. I bought Cypermethrin and processed all the rooms from pests, but before that I took all my relatives and animals away to my friends to spend the night. A few hours later I had to clean the whole house, because there were a lot of dead insects. So easy and simple we managed get rid of bedbugs and other animals. Thank you for such an effective tool.

Bedbugs were started in the apartment, from which all the households were horrified. I bought a product in the store called Cucaracha containing a strong insecticide.At home, I had to do a full treatment, evicting all relatives for a day to my friends. The bugs were safely poisoned, though after 2 weeks, individual individuals began to appear and processed everything again, as it should according to the instructions. Now there are no bugs in the apartment.
