"Home bugs are attacking!" This is how we can characterize the situation in modern cities. These seemingly forever forgotten bloodsuckers appear even in those apartments where cleanliness and order reign. Where do they come from? Oddly enough this sounds, but insects such as bed bugs can come to the apartment on furniture purchased even in a very expensive store; on pillows, plaids purchased in the markets. Therefore, going to buy bedding, upholstered furniture, cabinets and other items, carefully examine them: traces of bloodsucking vital activity are clearly visible. In addition, it’s good for prevention, after bringing new things to the house, to process them. Remedies for the bug can be different. It is better to choose those that do not scare away these malicious insects, but kill them.
Bedbug Chemicals
- Aerosols. They are most suitable for soft furniture that cannot be sprinkled with powder or lubricated. The disadvantage of aerosols is their limited effect (insects die only with a direct hit, the rest just go away). As for the unpleasant smell traditionally inherent in them, today there are a number of aerosol poisons that do not have it at all. For upholstered furniture, such bedbug remedies as Dichlorvos, Raid, Raptor, Karbozol, Kombat, Perfos and others are suitable.
- Powders. The good thing is that they kill not only those insects that directly tested the poison, but also those with which they came into contact after. Powders can be poured into cracks, sprinkled with sofas, etc. However, powdered bugs can cause poisoning much faster than aerosols: the latter quickly disappear, and the powders retain their characteristics longer. This must be remembered when using such means as Dust, Chlorofos, Neopin, etc.
- Liquids. Usually they do not have a pungent smell or smell attractive to bedbugs. Despite the fact that manufacturers position them as low-hazard to humans, to work with them, like with other drugs, you need gloves, goggles and a respirator, and preferably in a gas mask. Fluids act differently. So the Foresight tool scares off insects, Tetrix destroys them. Experts believe that the most effective remedies for bedbugs are those that are intended only for professionals and are not sold to ordinary buyers: they are treated by apartment workers in sanitary and epidemiological stations. Fatal for bedbugs and very effective are Minap (aka Permethrin), Fox.However, it is these drugs that most often cause severe poisoning of people trying to poison the bugs on their own.
Folk remedies for bedbug
You can collect these insects by hand, water their habitats with boiling water or lubricate with vinegar essence. But these measures will never destroy the bloodsuckers who attacked your home. Everything will end as the story of the pious hermit, about which Ilf and Petrov spoke, ended. Therefore, do not waste time. When bugs appear, it is better to immediately contact the SES.
