How is the delta zone from bugs applied?
The delta zone from bugs is a modern drug that has good efficiency and, moreover, practically odorless. This feature is important for use in everyday life when processing residential premises. The product is available in convenient 50 ml bottles, which are enough for the disinfection of a medium-sized studio apartment.
The composition of the drug
The main active ingredient of the Delta Zone preparation is deltamethrin. This is an insecticide of the contact-intestinal mode of action, which causes insect paralysis in insects. For humans, it is practically safe. If it gets inside with food or air, it is rapidly destroyed, and then excreted from the body.
In the manufacture of the drug, microencapsulation of the insecticide was used. This means that deltamethrin is in the preparation in the form of a suspension of the smallest particles. This form favors better insect exposure. The bugs, having come into contact with the surface treated with the product, cling whole clusters of poison to their paws and drag them, thus, into their nests, infecting all insects with which they will subsequently come into contact.
Interesting fact! Intestinal poisons are most commonly used for disinfection. A big plus of such drugs is their double action, which involves poisoning not only through the digestive system, but also directly through the outer covers of insects.
Mode of application
The delta zone helps against bugs, cockroaches, ants and other insects. Depending on their type, the dosage of the drug is calculated. According to the instructions, the following expenditure is expected:

Thank you for the article! The article is very useful. But when bugs appeared in my house, I didn’t bother for a long time.
