For many consumers, finding odorless bugs is a real problem. This is due to the fact that there are not so many such drugs. Next, we will understand what means are there for odorless bugs, where to buy them and how to use them.
General information
The appearance of bugs in the house in most people causes a real shock. Especially if regular cleaning is carried out and hygiene is carefully maintained. You can, of course, get rid of bedbugs folk remedies. But, as practice shows, this option does not guarantee 100% elimination of parasites. In addition, for a home remedy for bedbugs to work, a sufficiently long period of time is needed. But it happens that insect nests are discovered when there are a lot of parasites. It should also be said that not all remedies for bed bugs, made independently, are harmless to humans and animals. In this case, insecticides will come to the rescue . Next, we will consider some of them.
Insecticides
In stores, various effective remedies for bedbugs are sold. However, most of them are very fetid. The reason for this is an insecticide. It is this component that produces a very unpleasant odor. Moreover, without it, the drug itself will not work. An insecticide is a poison that poisons parasites. However, many consumers purchase such drugs, despite the disgusting smell. This choice is well founded. By acquiring such effective remedies for bedbugs, people primarily focus on the speed of action. Many drugs help eliminate parasites in one use. Such funds, for example, include the compounds “Klopomor”, “Klopoveron”, “Kukarach”, “Karbofos”, “Tetrix”. Even the well-known "Dichlorvos", which is rather smelly, and therefore rarely used, also quickly eliminates insects in the apartment. But I must say that this drug is available in different versions today. You can find "Dichlorvos" almost odorless. However, its effectiveness has not yet been tested by time.
Odorless bugs
First of all, it should be said that such drugs appeared on the market quite recently. In contrast to the above tools, in practice, the effectiveness of not all of them has been proved. However, the industry does not stand still, and more and more drugs are being produced. Conventionally, odorless means, which theoretically can destroy insects, can be divided into several categories. Consider them.
Insecticidal gels
These drugs are usually used to kill cockroaches and ants. They contain poisonous components and natural bitterness. Such drugs attract insects. Natural bitterness is necessary so that the occupant of the living quarters (animal or human) cannot swallow a drop of gel. It should be noted that this is a useless remedy for bedbugs. Customer reviews prove this quite well. According to buyers, such bait is completely not attracted by such a bait. The fact is that bed bugs cannot eat even a small particle of such a gel. Their oral apparatus is designed so that they can only pierce the skin and suck out blood. The preparations themselves do not contain components that could attract precisely these parasites.
Dusty
These products either smell very faint or have no smell at all. Such drugs include powders "Clean House", "Brownie", "Pyrethrum". These remedies are medium effective. Dust bugs themselves do not attract. However, there is still a definite result. In case of accidental hit of dust on the body of the parasite, the components of the drug penetrate the chitinous cover and poison the insect. In this case, the product may not even penetrate the digestive system of the bug. Nevertheless, eliminating parasites using dusts is quite problematic. In the room there always remains a certain number of insects that simply did not get into the scattered drug.
Crayon "Mashenka"
This tool, like its Chinese counterparts, acts in the same way as dust. However, the difference is that the chalk can also be applied to vertical surfaces. As a result, the drug is able on average to destroy a much larger number of parasites than powder products. Nevertheless, the crayon cannot completely remove insects from the premises, because in order for the poison to enter the parasite in sufficient quantities, it must thoroughly get dirty.
Search for an alternative
As can be seen from the above information, not all theoretically effective remedies for odorless bed bugs really help. In this regard, the industry is constantly faced with the task of producing new drugs. These remedies for bed bugs should not only not irritate their sense of smell, but also be truly effective.
The drug "Get"
Modern odorless bugs are available in various forms. In stores you can find such a drug as Get. This tool can be said to be intermediate between dusts and aerosol products. The microencapsulated preparation "Get" inherently represents an aqueous concentrate of chlorpyrifos (finely dispersed). The insecticide can be on the surfaces for more than one week; however, he easily sticks to the legs of the parasite, subsequently penetrating into his body and poisoning him. The active substance - chlorpyrifos - has a nerve agent effect on the insect.
The drug "Get" is known for its contact influence. It is used when it is not possible to force the parasites to swallow any bait. The Get product is practically odorless. This is due to the absence of volatile components in its composition. From the drug, it smells slightly of an orange fragrance, which quickly disappears from the room. For the rapid destruction of parasites, the drug is applied not only in places of their accumulation, but also on the surface where they can potentially move. To date, according to many consumers, the drug "Get" in terms of performance / smell is considered one of the most optimal means. It should be noted that the active component of chlorpyrifos is also present in other mixtures. For example, the substance is found in such products as Baigon, Zidane, and also in Raptor traps and gels.
Pleasant fragrances
Today, manufacturers use different technologies. Some manufacturers mask the annoying smell with another, more persistent and pleasant. For example, the Combat series of insecticidal preparations contains aerosols with aromas of lemon and mint. In such products, pyrethroids are used as active substances. They smell weaker than flavors. Such drugs, in general, are quite effective. With their help, it is completely possible to destroy bedbugs without involving specialists.
Aerosol process shelters of parasites - sofas, beds, cabinets. After applying the product, the room must be closed and left for several hours. Upon return, wet cleaning is required. For greater reliability, it is recommended to re-treat the room after 8-10 days. This is especially necessary if new larvae appear from the surviving parasite eggs. The Raptor aerosols use mint flavors. Cypermethrin acts as an active substance in them. This compound is considered one of the common insecticides. Raptor aerosols are used similarly to Combat preparations. Raid products contain citrus and lavender flavors. But all the same, after use in the room remains a heavy odor of an insecticide.
The opinion of experts
Aerosols today are considered the most affordable drugs. You can buy them in the markets, in stores. Aerosols are most often acquired by ordinary citizens and then used in everyday life. However, as experts note, such drugs are noticeably inferior in their effectiveness to unpleasantly smelling agents. As for self-made substances, most of them are also irritating to the organs of smell. Moreover, the sharper the smell, the greater the efficiency. So, for example, vinegar and turpentine more strongly repel parasites than decoction of tansy. Experts remind that home remedies can only be used to prevent or repel insects. But you can get bugs out of the apartment only with professional drugs.
Universal insecticide
One of the most effective modern drugs, representing remedies for bedbugs, is the Executioner. Reviews of many consumers indicate its high performance and speed. This drug was developed by German experts, and is packaged in the territory of the Russian Federation. The "executioner" is considered a universal remedy for parasites. One of the main advantages of the drug is its safety for people and animals. For the remedy for the "Hangman" bugs (consumer reviews also confirm this), no special equipment is needed. Processing can be carried out using a conventional spray. The drug is distinguished by a wide spectrum of activity and high performance. When using it, both adults and larvae are destroyed. In addition, the drug can be used not only against bedbugs, but also against fleas and other blood-sucking parasites.
Method of use
Processing begins with spraying all the objects in the apartment. This applies in particular to furniture, mattresses, bedding, carpets, blankets, clothes, pillows. With special care, it is necessary to spray household items along the connecting joints and seams. Larvae may be present in them. In the furniture upholstery, you can make holes through which to pour the drug. Beds and sofas should be turned over and processed from below: base, sidewalls, interior. If carpets hang on the walls, they must be removed and sprayed on both sides. After that you should process:
- Floor. If it is parquet, then the drug must be poured into all the cracks.
- Walls.
- Windowsills
- Curtains.
- Hard to reach places, openings, crevices.
- Ceiling.
- Sockets of a bowl of chandeliers and sockets. They must be disconnected from the power, untwisted and disinfected.
Often bedbugs nest at the joints of wallpaper. In such places, the canvases should be bent and thoroughly processed. In addition, larvae may be present in the seams and folds of clothing. Here I must say that the drug itself has no color and does not stain things. Therefore, the processing of clothes can be done safely. The remains of the drug are sprayed on the bathroom, balcony, corridor, toilet. Adults will crawl out of shelters during treatment. In this case, they can not be crushed, because they will die in any case. Mechanical destruction can take a lot of time. In the nests, only larvae will remain, which will also die over time. After this treatment, the room is closed for 5-8 hours. In this case, of course, it should be abandoned. Upon return, the room is ventilated for about 15 minutes. Parrots and other birds living in the apartment are also recommended to be taken out during processing.
additional information
One bottle of the executioner, according to consumers, is enough for 5 square meters. m. In order to conduct a thorough processing of the premises, you need to buy 20-25 bottles. The product is diluted in warm water and shaken well before use. Spraying is carried out indoors. Using this or that remedy for bed bugs at home, it is necessary to wear rubber gloves and a respirator (or a gauze bandage).
