Cockroach Regent - a ruthless blow to synanthropic insects

Red and black cockroaches are frequent neighbors in orphanages. These are synanthropic insects that have adapted to exist next to humans. Omnivorous pests spoil food, books, cloth, wallpaper. On their feet they carry a dozen types of helminths, pathogens of intestinal infections and other diseases. The most effective insect control method is the use of chemicals. The cockroach regent is a modern intestinal contact insecticide. The use of fipronil as the main active ingredient allows you to destroy the entire colony without residue.

The composition of the drug Regent

The insecticide drug Regent was developed to control agricultural pests. His effective insect poisoning It was noted by all landowners. The tool was tried for extermination of domestic cockroaches. The result exceeded expectations - the drug eliminated insects and remained active for a long time. What is the secret to success?
The regent differs from cockroaches in a well-chosen combination of active substances. It includes:

• Fipronil 800 g / kg - the substance belongs to the class of phenylpyrazoles. These are modern pesticides designed to kill pests that adapt to other formulations. They are characterized by long-term toxicity. Finpronil blocks the passage of nerve impulses, causes paralysis of internal organs.
• Permethrin 10% is an intestinal contact insecticide with a quick toxic effect. The substance poisons pests at the stage of eggs and adults. Synthetic pyrethroid affects the central and peripheral nervous system.
• Chlorophos 15% - the product has a pronounced intestinal effect on synanthropic insects. It relates to organophosphorus insecticides. In the body, pests are converted to a more toxic substance. This is due to the alkaline environment of the intestines of cockroaches.

Mechanism of action

The composition enters the body of synanthropic insects in two ways: contact and intestinal. In the first case, the active substance penetrates the esophagus along with contaminated food. Poisonous components are spread throughout hemolymph organisms. They cause blockage of nerve impulses, paralysis of the respiratory system and internal organs. Under the influence of toxins, the coordination of movements is disturbed, cockroaches lose their orientation, fall from the walls.The ability to eat and reproduce is lost.

Due to the high toxicity of the Regent remedy for cockroaches, it is enough just to contact an insect and a particle of a substance. In this case, the poison penetrates through the integument of the body, the chitinous shell is not an obstacle to the insecticide. Poisoning occurs gradually, its speed depends on the amount of funds captured. It takes several hours before the toxin works. During this time, the individual will have time to infect its nest. The active substance of the drug remains on the paws and antennae of the insect, which ran along the treated surface. It itself brings it to the home, poisoning relatives.

Information. Studies have not revealed the resistance (immunity) of cockroaches to Regent 800.

Algorithm for the use of insecticide

To deprive the population of synanthropic insects of a chance of survival, it is necessary to use the Regent from cockroaches according to the instructions. Before starting work, a solution is prepared. The proportions indicated on the package are designed to destroy Colorado beetles and other garden pests. Cockroaches are more tenacious insects, so the dosage should be increased:

• Regent's ampoule of 5 ml is recommended to be parted in 200-250 ml of water;
• one sachet of the drug is dissolved in a glass (220 ml) of water.

The product is mixed until completely dissolved in water. The solution is poured into a spray bottle, from which the processing of the premises will be conducted. To provide access to the places of the largest concentration of cockroaches, you will have to move the furniture from the walls. Insects arrange their nests in dark inaccessible places. The most intensive processing are:

• areas behind the baseboard;
• windowsill slots and door frame;
• back wall of furniture;
• place under the kitchen sink;
• sewer and water pipes;
• ventilation ducts;
• soft furniture.

Information. The Regent's solution is odorless and colorless; it can be sprayed onto furniture upholstery and wallpaper without fear.

Spraying occurs immediately after preparation of the composition. The Regent's solution loses its properties during storage, so it can not be left for reprocessing. During the spraying process, the spray gun is located at a distance of 25 cm from the surface. After processing the apartment, the drug is left for 1.5-2 hours. After this period, the room is ventilated. Places of constant contact are washed with a solution of sodium chloride. The remaining surface is not touched, allowing the drug to continue the poisoning effect on cockroaches.

Reprocessing

After two weeks, you will need to conduct a second pest control. The fact is that cockroach eggs are reliably protected by a special cocoon with an ooteca, so they remain viable. A second spray will require a solution of a lower concentration. The ampoule or bag of Regent 800 is diluted in 500 ml of water. The processing procedure is similar to the instructions for the first pest control.

Precautionary measures

The substance belongs to the drugs of the second danger group.When using it, you must observe the following precautions:

• Before starting work, personal protective equipment must be worn. Safety will help: rubber gloves, a respirator, special glasses. Clothing should be as closed as possible.
• In the room where the pest control takes place, there should be no people, pets or fish.
• Food, baby things and hygiene items are packed in plastic bags.

When exposed to damaged areas of the skin, the insecticide causes irritation, so they must be covered. If during treatment a person feels weakness, nausea, dizziness, it is necessary to stop spraying the room and go outside. After work, wash your hands and face, rinse your mouth with saline.

Prevention

Cleanliness in the apartment is the best way to avoid the re-emergence of cockroaches. Daily cleaning, timely liquidation of leaks and waste disposal are the basics of prevention. Water-hungry insects need access to water, if they lose it, they will consider the room unsuitable for living.

Watering plants is recommended to be moved to daytime, when the Prussians are passive. Access to food, especially wet foods, must be excluded. Do not forget that plastic bags are not an obstacle for cockroaches.
