Dichlorvos from lice and nits

Among modern remedies for bloodsucking insects living next to humans, Dichlorvos occupies a prominent place. Many since childhood are familiar with a gray aerosol spray, through which they easily coped with unpleasant parasites. The aggressive drug was replaced by new products that do not harm human health, but with the same name, which has received recognition from more than one generation of users. Dichlorvos from lice is as effective as from fleas, bugs and cockroaches.

Overview of Popular Tools

Under the familiar name "Dichlorvos" today, drugs are released that have nothing to do with the drug, popular in Soviet times. The drug, regardless of the prefix and the manufacturer, is assigned to the 3-4 hazard class. That is, these funds are not dangerous for warm-blooded people, but when they try to remove lice with Dichlorvos, then it is worth considering carefully all the pros and cons of such a solution.

Important!

Dichlorvos contains various insecticides, among which permethrin is the most harmless. The drug is intended for indoor treatment, therefore, the insecticides in its composition are in a more concentrated form than in pharmacy anti-pediculary drugs. The manufacturer does not honestly indicate that the drug is used from lice. But as an unconventional means, it continues to be used.

What is part of the new Dichlorvos and how they will act from lice:

• Dichlorvos-Neo is an odorless product based on the synthetic insecticide cypermethrin and synergist piperonyl butoxide. It acts instantly thanks to an organophosphorus insecticide. Piperonyl butoxide enhances the properties of the insecticide.
• Dichlorvos Eco - the preparation contains a complex of synthetic insecticides and pyrethrin. An aromatic additive with the smell of lavender was used as a repellent and fragrance.
• Dichlorvos Universal - a powerful tool with an unpleasant odor. Wide range of action
• Dichlorvos Varan - a drug with a lemon smell. The composition is similar to previous funds.
• Dichlorvos Terminator - synthetic isomers of pyrethroids: cypermethrin and tetramethrin have a paralyzing effect on the neuromuscular system of insects.

Similar aerosols are produced by foreign companies. Perfumed product from Turkish manufacturers Dew Tox and Flavourless Buntoks.

At the heart of all drugs called "Dichlorvos" is a complex of synthetic insecticides and synergists that ensure the penetration of poison into insect tissues. Therefore, in the instructions, the manufacturer warns that the product should not get on the surface of the human skin, otherwise there is a risk of poisoning.

Important!

When working with the product, safety precautions must be observed - protect the respiratory system with a respirator, eyes with protective glasses, and skin with clothing and rubber gloves.

Despite all the warnings, people are wondering if lice can be removed with Dichlorvos. If it is about lice, then the tool can etch adult insects and larvae. The aerosol cannot get rid of nits, since insecticides do not penetrate the thick shell of the egg and the layer of “glue” with which the nits are attached to the threads of the tissue and the hair on the human body. The use of such an aggressive drug against head lice - a way to poison both insects and the patient.

How to use dichlorvos against body lice

Dichlorvos against lice must be sprayed onto the tissue, in the place of accumulation of parasites - seams, folds of tissue. Put the processed thing in a tight bag and carefully seal the hole with tape, hold for 15-20 minutes. Then it must be shaken to crumble the dead linen lice, ventilate and wash in hot water with any detergent appropriate to the type of fabric. Iron the dried thing with a hot iron to destroy the remaining parasites.

To get rid of dichlorvos from lice on clothes is real. Strong insecticides even cope with such “unkillable” insects as cockroaches. Lice have no resistance to chemical components, so any of the above drugs will cope with body lice.

Dichlorvos from head lice

It is not only unhealthy adventurism or extreme trust in time-tested brands that makes Dichlorvos against head lice. The average price per bottle of funds is 60-100 rubles. While for the cheapest anti-pedicul shampoo required to pay more than 400 rubles. Therefore, the treatment of lice dichlorvos is also practiced for reasons of economy.

Reviews

There is no limit to human ingenuity. Only often it happens with a minus sign.Lice in my time could easily be picked up at a school, a pioneer camp, with neighboring children. So I brought in my luxurious curls a whole brood of these parasites. Mom cried - I really didn’t want to cut my long hair, and decided get rid of lice the surest means at that time - Dichlorvos. Generously sprinkled my head, tied a handkerchief and sent to sit in a corner in the kitchen near the stove. After a while, she took off her handkerchief, and with it all my hair. Homework was shocked by my bald in red spots and a rash of head. The hair has grown back and even began to curl, but I will never forget that horror.

My mother-in-law decided to get fleas from our cat Barsik. Girlfriends advised to save money and use Dichlorvos, which we recently poisoned insects in the house. The wise woman did everything, as the goods said - she sprayed Dichlorvos into the bag and stuffed Barsika inside. Only the head remained stuck. When we came home from work, the cat was lying on the litter and was breathing heavily. Wool fell from him in shreds. For several days they soldered it with rice broth - he refused to eat. They thought it would die. But gradually Barsik came to his senses. I don’t think that such a “method” will be safer for a person. It is better to use drugs for their intended purpose, rather than "reinvent the wheel."

What just did not try for pediculosis treatment! Neither folk nor pharmacy products had an effect. But Dichlorvos helped remove lice the first time. The package was put on the head, the edges were firmly glued to the skin with electrical tape. Dichlorvos was sprayed through the hole in the bag and held for about 20 minutes. The sensations were terrible. As I recall - goose bumps! But they washed their hair, combed out the lice, and to this day forgot what lice is. Maybe the method is barbaric, but effective.
