Combat

"Combat" is produced in two modifications: superspray and multispray.

"Combat Multispray" eliminates various types of insect pests. The toxic ingredients tetramethrin and permethrin enter through contact or through the digestive organs and paralyze the body's activity. The 400 g aerosol can is red.

Both bedbug sprays are quite effective, but if you have a choice, it is better to use Combat Super: it has a more targeted effect on crawling bloodsuckers.

Combat is super

"Combat Superspray" for bedbugs contains the substances cyphenothrin and imiprothrin, which, when they enter the body of crawling insects, cause their paralysis and death. The chemical is especially effective in destroying bedbugs; it can be distinguished by its packaging, designed in golden tones.

Benefits of superspray:

• refers to low-toxic substances;
• does not require preparation: just shake the can;
• flexible nozzle allows you to process cracks and holes;
• sprays evenly, quickly and economically;
• has no repulsive odor;
• has antifungal and antibacterial properties;

When spraying the spray, it is necessary to use protection for the respiratory organs and mucous membranes. The can is held at a distance of 20 - 30 cm from the floors and objects to be treated. During the treatment and ventilation, no strangers are allowed in the room.

A 500 milliliter bottle is designed for an area of 50 to 70 square meters.

Raptor

The Raptor spray consists of several poisonous components: tetramethrin, cypermethrin, piperonyl butoxide, which provoke paralysis in insects followed by their death. Bedbugs infected by contact transmit the poison to other insects.

Poisonous components are especially effective against ants, cockroaches and similar insects; bedbugs disappear, for a while, only at an increased dosage per unit of treated area and with several treatments.

The active substance of the insect poison is fipronil, used in agriculture and veterinary practice, so the preparation is sold not only in household chemicals departments, but also in veterinary pharmacies.

The toxin affects the digestive organs of small insects, after contact with the treated object they become infected from each other. After some time, the poison paralyzes the nervous activity of the pests, and they die in one to three days. The effect lasts for one and a half to two months.

Bedbug Spray

Bed bugs are particularly harmful parasites that not only make life miserable and prevent you from getting a good night's sleep, but also pose a real threat to your health. It is quite possible to exterminate insects from your home using bed bug sprays, which must be applied to all areas where apartment parasites accumulate.

Bedbugs settle not just near a person, but where it is easiest to drink his blood, that is, to get food. During the day, insects hide in cracks in the floor, bed, nightstands, cabinets, other furniture, behind picture frames and mirrors, under radiators, carpets and other interior items, from where it is convenient to crawl out at night in search of food.

All these points need to be found and sprayed to destroy the population of pests and their larvae, which have increased resistance to poisons, as much as possible. In this regard, the treatment of sleeping areas remains the center of the entire area to be treated against bedbugs. In addition to using a spray against bedbugs, you should know that it is possible to effectively remove bloodsuckers from linen, curtains, and other fabrics by washing in hot water (from 50 degrees) or freezing (at minus 22), since they cannot withstand such temperatures. If there are a lot of bedbugs, then two or three treatments are required for complete extermination, with a short break.

Often, the time-tested insecticide Dichlorvos is used for these needs. It should be noted that a modern, improved version of the insecticide is produced under a well-known brand. A relatively inexpensive spray against bedbugs will come in handy in temporary housing to protect yourself, for example, during a vacation or business trip.

Dichlorvos has a strong odor and is toxic to humans, so when performing pest control work on your own, you must strictly follow safety precautions, rules for processing and cleaning premises. At the same time, the chemical does not act on parasites for long, and after a while it causes addiction and no longer poisons them, which can lead to re-infestation with bedbugs.

Pharmacodynamics

The pharmacodynamics of most components contained in insecticidal pesticides consists of a nerve-paralytic effect on the body of small insects.

[ 6 ]

Pharmacokinetics

Biotransformation of active substances of bedbug sprays occurs by ether hydrolysis. Inactive metabolites are formed, which are low-toxic for humans.

[ 7 ]

Dosing and administration

The method of using bedbug sprays primarily involves protective measures for the person performing the treatment of the area. If the work is performed by professional teams, they will take care of it themselves. When treating the premises independently, it is necessary:

• identify areas where parasites accumulate;
• stock up on a respirator, safety glasses, rubber gloves;
• wear the most closed clothing and shoes;
• clear the area of pets and children;
• remove bedding, curtains, and things from closets;
• close windows and doors;
• carry out pest control according to the instructions;
• allow the chemical to act for the time required;
• ventilate the rooms with a draft;
• Wash the room and furniture thoroughly.

It is important to know that if small insects have appeared in one dwelling, they are likely to be in neighboring apartments as well, since they can easily move through pipes, ventilation shafts and other communications. In order to radically get rid of parasites, it is necessary to sanitize entire blocks of adjoining apartments. In order to completely get rid of an insect invasion, it is sometimes necessary to treat the dwelling several times with various insecticides.

Use bedbug sprays during pregnancy

It is unlikely that a woman would want to personally participate in the use of bedbug sprays during pregnancy. However, if bedbugs are found in the house, the health of a pregnant woman is immediately at risk.

Contraindications

Contraindications to the use of bedbug sprays are the presence of small children and sick people in the apartment who cannot be moved to another place, and pets that are especially sensitive to bedbug sprays. Disinsection must be carried out in rooms that are as cleared of furnishings as possible.

Side effects bedbug sprays

Modern insecticides combine high toxicity for pests and minimal toxicity for people. Even if they enter the human body, toxins are quickly excreted through the excretory system. However, bedbug sprays remain in the air for a long time and can lead to poisoning, so precautions when using them include protection against toxic substances entering the digestive organs and mucous membranes.

But small pets are more delicate and can be significantly harmed by insecticides, so they should be removed from the house during disinfestation. When poisoned, they develop aggression, convulsions and even death are possible.

If aerosols come into contact with human skin or mucous membranes, these areas should be immediately washed with water. Side effects when in contact with eyes include conjunctivitis: the eye becomes red, watery, sore and itchy.

If a pesticide is ingested, qualified medical assistance is required.

[ 10 ]

Overdose

Pesticides are very dangerous for humans, especially in large doses. Inhalation of bedbug spray can cause poisoning, and if it gets into the digestive organs, it can be fatal. Slow poisoning develops even when toxic components are absorbed through the skin.

Symptoms of overdose of bedbug sprays:

• frequent vomiting,
• loose stools,
• increased sweating,
• convulsions,
• difficulty breathing,
• decreased visual acuity.

Without qualified assistance, the condition of the poisoned person will deteriorate sharply and within two days a fatal outcome is possible.

Assistance to the victim consists of providing access to fresh air and taking him to the hospital without delay.
