How many bugs live after disinfection

Bed bugs - very cunning, tenacious and elusive parasites, which are very difficult get rid of yourself. After processing from bugs, carried out by a special service, all insects must die, although there are exceptions.

Tenacious pests

Bed bugs are highly adaptable to external factors, so it is very difficult to completely destroy them. It is absolutely impossible for them to disappear on their own. A few facts from the life of these tenacious pests:

• mix freely around the apartment and find a person anywhere;
• in the absence of nutrition, they fall into a state of suspended animation and can live in it for up to 1.5 years, then to wake up and start to bite again;
• the effect of low temperatures on them also has a soporific effect;
• highly breed fast;
• even after quality professional apartment processing eggs are viable for another 14-20 days.

Based on their high viability, one can guess why some insects and their the eggs.

Important!

Bedbug treatment with folk remedies (kerosene, vinegar, plant broth) is completely ineffective and does not affect the decrease in population.

Apartment preparation

Can bugs appear again after treatment - this question is often asked by the owners of the infected premises and can only be answered in the affirmative. In order for pest control to be of high quality and allow guaranteed to destroy all parasitesnecessary prepare an apartment:

1. Take out food products and everything that can go bad when disinfectant drugs get out of the house.
2. To provide free approaches to all sleeping places where careful processing is especially important: beds, bedding, room corners, baseboards.
3. During the work, which usually lasts 1-1.5 hours, it is better to monitor the quality of pest control.
4. Next, the owners should leave for a few hours, while the apartment will be under the influence of insecticides.
5. After returning, the room must be well ventilated, bedding should be maltered at a high temperature of 60-90 ° C.

   

6. During disinfestation, adult bugs die, so dead insects need to be collected in a bag, and if possible they larvae, eggs and toss.
7. Wet cleaning is better not to spend 1-2 weeks, because young nymphs emerging from eggs and bugs surviving after disinfection, moving along the treated surface, will die.
8. The best option would be to leave the apartment for this period (to the cottage or to friends), upon returning it is recommended to do thorough wet cleaning in all rooms, wash or sterilize dishes, wipe the furniture with hot water and an antiseptic (soda solution), ventilate, vacuum all corners and baseboards, furniture.

What happens after disinfestation

To make sure that the pest control was successful, you can observe how the bugs behave after treatment. Normally, the death of parasites should occur within 1-3 days (sometimes up to a week).The remaining insects very slowly crawl around the room, gradually dying.

Do bedbug eggs die during disinfection - the result depends on the method and choice of funds. The action of insecticides on embryos is less effective, therefore often young individuals hatch from them, who actively scatter in search of food - the host blood.

Interesting!

Some inexperienced owners are wondering if the bug dies after a human bite, as is the case with bees. Definitely not. On the contrary, after drinking human blood, he happily lives on.

Drugs used for killing bugs and the term of death of insects

You need to know that when disinsecting an apartment, not all drugs give a full guarantee of the death of insects. Often the result of the treatment depends on which particular agent was used and on the size of the parasite population in the room.

The drugs used for disinfestation are divided into several classes:

• pyrethroids - insects often have acquired resistance to them, most often bugs selectively disappear, some remain alive;
• organophosphorus compounds (FOSy) - have the advantage that they can poison not only adults, but also eggs, larvae;
• neonicotinoids.

To answer the question, how many bugs live after treatment, it is worth considering how the agent acts on them. The optimal time for the beginning of the action of the drug on insects is 20-40 minutes, during which the bugs that received the first lethal dose of the drug die. However, some insects may be resistant or less susceptible to their effects.

The question of how long after treatment bugs die cannot be answered accurately. Complete destruction of parasites, with a high probability, will occur within 3-5 days. It should be noted that the surviving insects actively creep out of all the shelters and, finding unprocessed places, can crawl into the next apartment. To reduce the risk of migration of bugs to neighbors, you need to handle all the ways of their movement well.

When re-processing is needed

There is a possibility that surviving adults or hatched nymphs from eggs will remain. In this case, a reasonable question arises, what to do if, after treatment, the bugs continue to bite the host. You should often clean with a vacuum cleaner, destroying survivors and half-dead individuals.

There is a list of situations where a repeat procedure is definitely necessary:

• the localization of insects has changed - bugs disappear in one place, but appear in another;
• parasites did not disappear after treatment.

It should be borne in mind that due to the high adaptability of these parasites, 95% according to statistics, the probability of survival of adults and their eggs is quite high, so the process should be repeated with another insecticide.

After how many days do I need to re-treat from bedbugs? The optimal time is 10-14 days after the first pest control, but no later than a month after the first, so that sexually mature nymphs do not have time to re-lay their eggs.

Feedback

Held processing the apartment from bugs by cold fogbut nothing helped. I called the disinfection service asking what to do if the bugs bite anyway. Specialists were sent to me again, and the secondary spraying was already done with another drug. Only then did the insects die.
