How to properly breed cytoxox from bugs?

If in a store selling insecticidal drugs, you contact the seller with a request to sell something from bedbugs, then first of all they will advise you tsifoks. To date, this is perhaps the most effective tool that is used in the professional processing of premises against insects. Pest controllers know how to handle it. And how to breed cytoxox from bugs at home?

Description of the drug

In a bottle, cytoxox looks like a liquid with a yellowish tint and a strong specific smell. When diluted, the solution loses its transparency and acquires a white milky color. The drug is almost invisible on the surface after drying, which cannot be said about its smell. Persistent aroma persists for a long time after processing and it is better to leave the room for a day so that you do not inadvertently get poisoned.

The product is usually sold in transparent plastic bottles of 50, 500 and 1000 ml. If you have to process a one- or two-room apartment, then it is more advisable to buy a small 50 ml bottle. This is quite enough for 1-2 pest control.

The active substance of tsifoks is cypermethrin. This is a broad-spectrum insecticide related to second-generation pyrethroids. In addition to tsifoksa this substance is contained in many other insecticides, for example, in Kukarach, which can be read about the use of this article: Cucaracha will relieve bugs!

In a bottle of tsifoks contains 25% solution of cypermethrin. When an arthropod enters the body, it paralyzes the nervous system, which leads to the death of insects.

Tsifoks helps not only from bugs. With it, you can get rid of fleas, cockroaches, gnats, flies, ticks, lice and garden pests.

Ready solution does not lie down for storage. In this form, tsifoks quickly loses its activity, and it must be used no later than 8 hours after dilution.

Advice! Bed bugs quickly become immune to insecticides. Therefore, before using the drug, check its effect on a single insect. It is likely that it will not work, as it was previously used against this population of bloodsuckers.

How to breed?

So, how to breed cytoxox from bugs? According to the instructions developed by the Research Institute of Disinfectology Rospotrebnadzor, the drug is mixed with cold water in the following proportions:

• with a strong infection of the premises with insects, 1 ml of the drug is taken per 1 liter of water;
• with a small population of bloodsuckers in 1 liter, 0.4 ml of insecticide dissolves.

In the first case, a 0.05% solution is obtained, which acts for a long time after application - 3-4 months. One 50 ml bottle is enough to prepare 25 l of the composition. This is a lot to process the apartment, therefore it is more advisable to use a half bottle - 25 ml per 12.5 liters of water.

The second method can be used with a small population of the apartment with insects. In this case, 4 ml of the drug is taken per 10 liters of water. It turns out a 0.01% solution. At this dosage, tsifoks protects against bedbugs for a month.

When breeding, the following precautions must be observed:

• wear gloves and protective clothing;
• keep the vial with the drug low from the surface of the water to avoid splashing and splashing the product;
• wear special glasses to protect your eyes;
• close the mouth and nose with a respirator.

After pouring the product into water, the solution is stirred for 5 minutes. and pour into a spray bottle.

It is important to remember that the drug retains its properties only 8 hours, therefore, when processing the premises, it is advisable to use outside help, or purchase a garden sprinkler.

Advice! Do not save on spray guns. Processing with a spray gun, depending on the volume of the apartment, can drag on for a whole day, while a garden one will help to cope with all the work in an hour and a half.

How to apply?

Processing is carried out in protective clothing with the windows open. The drug is toxic to humans. If it enters the respiratory tract and digestive system, it can cause severe poisoning. To avoid this, use respirators and cotton gauze dressings. Skin and eyes should also be covered with clothing and glasses, since the composition has corrosive properties.

Diluted tsifoks applied with a spray to the following surfaces:

• baseboards;
• the walls behind the paintings;
• sockets;
• shelves;
• cabinets;
• bed frame;
• the inside of the sofas;
• curtains;
• bedspreads;
• the walls under the lagging wallpaper.

Since tsifoks from bedbugs should be bred depending on the degree of infection of the apartment, the rate of consumption of the drug depends on its percentage composition. For residential premises, it will be as follows:

• 0.01% solution - 50ml per 1 m² poorly absorbing surfaces and 100 ml on highly absorbent;
• 0.05% - 50 ml per 1m² regardless of the type of materials.

The drug begins to act in 10 minutes. after application. Insects crawl out of their shelters and after 20-30 minutes. are dying. As a rule, re-processing of the premises is not required, as the bugs hatching from the eggs are also exposed to the poisonous substance.

Cleaning can be carried out after 8-12 hours of exposure to the drug. All hard surfaces with which contact is possible are wiped with a soap or soda water solution. Vacuum sofas and carpets, curtains, drapes, wash clothes.

The room at the end of disinfestation should be thoroughly ventilated for at least half an hour. The smell will completely disappear for 2-3 days.

Advice! Before processing, it is necessary to stock up with eye drops - albucid and a 2% solution of baking soda. In the case of ciphoxox in the eyes, they are washed with water and instilled drops. The skin is treated with soda.

The room must be prepared in advance for disinfestation. To do this, all cabinets are freed from clothes and things. Products, children's toys, dishes, personal belongings are put in dense plastic bags. Mattresses are removed from the beds, sofas are taken apart.

Household appliances - a refrigerator, a computer, a TV, should be covered with a film or a thick cloth. It is also necessary to de-energize the apartment for the entire processing time, in order to avoid short circuit of the wiring.

Family members and pets are removed for the entire period of disinfestation. Aquariums are tightly closed, indoor plants are carried out or covered with plastic bags.

Residents can enter the room only after wet cleaning and thoroughly airing it.
