Butox-50 AgroZooVet OLKAR.
COMPOSITION AND RELEASE FORM The emulsifying concentrate contains 5% of the synthetic pyrethroid deltamethrin.
In appearance it is a light yellow oily liquid, emulsifies well in water, with a weak specific odor. 1 liter of concentrate contains 50 g of deltamethrin. Packaged in ampoules of 1 ml. PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES Butox 50 has a wide spectrum of insecticidal and acaricidal action, is active against ixodid, scabies, chicken, cat mites, flies, midges, bedbugs and other ectoparasites of animals. Having entered the body of arthropods, deltamethrin contact or enterally accumulates in the ganglia of peripheral nerves and inhibits their activity. It disrupts the coordination of the pathogen's movements, then causing its paralysis, lethargy and death. The drug is moderately toxic to warm-blooded animals; in recommended doses and concentrations it does not have a local irritant or allergenic effect. Effective against ectoparasites resistant to phosphorus and organochlorine compounds. Toxic to fish and bees. INDICATIONS To combat animal ectoparasites (ixodid mites, scabies mites, lice, lice eaters, flies, horseflies, bedbugs, midges and others). DOSES AND METHOD OF APPLICATION Butox 50 is used only for external treatment of animals and premises. Immediately before use, prepare an aqueous working emulsion of the drug. Animals are treated by spraying or bathing. Buying animals Before carrying out mass treatments, each batch of Butox 50 is first tested on a small group of animals (10 - 15 heads) of varying fatness and age, which are monitored for 2 - 3 days. If there are no complications, treatment of the entire livestock of animals begins. After cleaning the bathtub for bathing, make a preliminary mixture of the required amount of Butox 50 (in accordance with the dosage for bathing). Distribute the solution throughout the entire container, then stir for 10 minutes. To get a perfect emulsion, you first need to pass 20 animal stirrers through the container. After the animals have removed 10% of the total volume of working fluid from the bath, it is replenished to the original level. In this case, 0.9 liters of Butox 50 is added to each ton of added water. Make sure that the first 20 animals wash again during the bathing course. Before treatment, animals should not be tired and should not be thirsty. Treatment in very hot weather is not recommended. After treating 2.5 - 3 thousand sheep, the acaricidal liquid is poured into settling wells, preventing it from entering water bodies or rivers. The bath is thoroughly cleaned of dirt and washed with water, which is also drained into settling wells. Spraying animals Before using Butox 50, it is necessary to make a preliminary mixture in 1 liter of water, add it to the required amount of water in the spray tank and mix thoroughly. During each course of treatment, a minimum of 3 liters of diluted product must be used per animal. The sequence of spraying the animal: ears, head, body, tail, area around the anus, limbs. Particular attention must be paid to the affected areas. Do not wash off the drug

Butox 50 (Butox 50) (Intervet)
An insectoacaricidal drug based on the synthetic pyrethroid deltamethrin. Having entered the body of ectoparasites contact or enterally, it accumulates in the ganglia of peripheral nerves, inhibiting their activity. It disrupts the coordination of movements of the pathogen, then causing its paralysis, lethargy and death. COMPOSITION 50 g of deltamethrin per 1000 ml of concentrate. DOSAGE FORM Light yellow oily liquid with a weak specific odor, emulsifies well in water. INDICATIONS Wide spectrum of insectoacaricidal action. Active against ixodid, scabies, chicken, cat ticks, flies, midges, bedbugs and other ectoparasites of animals.
DOSING AND ORDER OF APPLICATION Used to treat animals by spraying or bathing in a running bath. The working emulsion is prepared immediately before use at the calculation: (A x B) / X = C, where: X is the amount of the original 5% emulsion concentrate in grams required to prepare 1 liter of working emulsion; A – concentration of the working emulsion; B – required volume of working emulsion (ml); C is the percentage of active substance in the drug. A weighed portion of the drug is emulsified in a small volume of water (1:4), then gradually poured into a bath or desalination container and water is added to the required volume. The temperature of the working emulsion should be within 15-20°C. A. For psoroptosis in cattle, an aqueous emulsion is used at a concentration of 0.005%. Spray for therapeutic purposes twice with an interval of 7-10 days, for preventive purposes - once. B. To combat single-host ixodid ticks, use a concentration of 0.0025%, in the presence of two or three host ticks - 0.00375%. A 0.0025% aqueous emulsion is used against flies by spraying, and 0.00125% against lice. D. Animals are sprayed against ixodid ticks during their active season once every 6-7 days before being put on pasture or after a day's rest; for entomosis - according to indications. When treating animals against sarcoptic and ixodid ticks, as well as insects, the consumption rate of the working emulsion is 2-3 liters per animal. D. To treat sheep with psoroptosis, use a 0.003% aqueous emulsion by bathing in a bath: for prophylactic purposes once, for therapeutic purposes - twice with an interval of 7-10 days. CONTRAINDICATIONS Sick and weak animals are not treated. SIDE EFFECTS When used in accordance with the instructions, none INTERACTIONS Simultaneous use of FOS reduces the rate of biotransformation of the drug and increases its toxicity.

Frequency and dosage of use
According to the instructions for use, in the fight against lice eaters and fleas you will need a dose of Butox dissolved in 3-4 liters of water.
In the fight against ticks, Butox is used in a more concentrated form - 1 ml per 1.3 liters of water. The same solution is used for preventive purposes. It is used during peak pest activity, treating the animal every week.
Dog scabies are treated with 1 ml of emulsion diluted in 1 liter of water. The main thing is to follow the dosage and be sure to re-treat no later than after 10 days.
These dosages are given for the administration of a bathing solution.
If you decide to spray an animal, then you need to dissolve the appropriate amount of emulsion in a liter of water:
- For scabies – 1 ml per liter.
- For ticks – 0.7 ml per liter.
- For fleas – 0.4 ml per liter.
The concentration of Butox solution depends on the purpose for which it will be used.
You need to spray the animal starting from the head and moving towards the tail. Paws and tail should be treated at the very end of the procedure.
Butox does not irritate the skin and does not cause side effects if the drug is used according to the instructions.
Dosage
Particular attention must be paid to the dosage, since it can be changed depending on a number of circumstances corresponding to each specific situation.
So, when bathing an animal, you must follow the following rules:
- When treating an animal for fleas or lice eaters, you will need to dissolve one Butox ampoule in 3-4 liters of water.
- When carrying out various preventive measures, as well as to destroy ticks, one ampoule is diluted in 1-1.5 liters of water.
- When treating scabies, one ampoule is dissolved in a liter of water.
If you refuse to swim and use the spraying option, the following doses are considered safe:
- 25 ml. "Butox" per liter of water to kill lice.
- 5 ml. "Butox" per liter of water to kill different types of fleas.
- 1 ml. "Butox" per liter of water to treat scabies.
If the product is used to treat a room rather than an animal, then its dosage also continues to depend on the type of insect that is intended to be destroyed:
- 15 ml. “Butoxa” is diluted in 10 liters of water to destroy all types of flying insects.
- 30 ml. "Butox" is diluted in 10 liters of water if crawling types of parasites are being fought.
- The consumption of the drug should be 5 or 10 liters for every 100 square meters of smooth or porous surface, respectively.
General recommendations
Butox50 is a highly effective means of combating exoparasites and in some cases can have a sanitizing effect on a number of pathogens due to its pesticide action. When purchasing Butox 50 in ampoules, the instructions for it contain a detailed description of the procedure for treating your pet.
It's not difficult, but it does require some precautions.
The key feature of Butox is its low price; as a rule, you can buy the product in veterinary pharmacies in the form of one ampoule. Its cost is significantly lower than other “pipette” drugs that are used for treatment, and its effectiveness is much higher.
Also for Butox 50, the instructions for use contain information on the treatment of tick-borne infestations in animals. Moreover, treating your pet will cost a minimal amount, the effectiveness will be very high, and the toxicity will be low.
Despite the fact that few pet owners know about this quality of Butox, it is a highly effective drug for a number of diseases. It is distinguished by low toxicity, price and high efficiency in the fight against a number of parasitoses in animals.
In some cases, subject to safety rules, it can be used to treat a person under the supervision of a doctor. For example, for complex scabies, mites infestation of the scalp. Treatment is carried out once every 7-10 days, without violating the dosage.
How to use Butox for bedbugs
To kill bed bugs, you need to dilute 1 ml of the product in 1.3 liters of water. In case of massive infection of the premises, it is recommended to use the solution once a week for 2-4 weeks. If the effect is not enough, make a more powerful concentrate - 1 ml of product per 1 liter of water.
Before using Butox you need to prepare the room:
- We move all the furniture from the periphery of the room to the center.
- We disassemble, if possible, the structure of the bed for independent cleaning of bedbugs.
- We remove all wall accessories.
- We remove food, medicines, personal hygiene products, plants, and accessories for animals from the premises.
- We carry out dry cleaning first and then wet cleaning.
- Open the windows to ensure adequate ventilation in the room.
Next, we move on to treatment, which consists of applying the product with a spray bottle or other convenient device to the “favorite” places of bed mites. First we process the baseboards, doorways, and window frames.
Pharmacology
Pyrethroids are able to interact with lipids of the skin, as well as plant leaves. The water and organic solvent evaporate and the waxy substance adheres to the fats. For warm-blooded creatures, pyrethroids are low-toxic because they are almost not absorbed, remaining on the surface of the skin. The second defense mechanism is the rapid destruction of the active substance to harmless compounds. Cold-blooded animals do not have defensive devices, so the pyrethroid, when it gets onto the surface of the body or into the intestines of the insect, deactivates acetylcholine. The functioning of the nervous system is disrupted, paralysis occurs, and the arthropod dies
When working with Butox 50 and other drugs containing pyrethroids, caution is required. Drops that fall on a flower plant will kill the bees, and if the drug spills on the soil and then washes off with rain into the river, the fish will die
What are bedbugs afraid of?
It turns out that bedbugs have a keen sense of smell and are very susceptible to strong odors. With the help of special thin hairs - sensilla, bedbugs pick up the aroma from afar...

Small blood-sucking parasites cause discomfort with their presence. Many residents have had to suffer from the presence of bedbugs. Their painful bites cause itching, redness of the skin, and sometimes provoke the onset of dangerous pathologies. To get rid of unwanted bugs, you must first find out what bedbugs are afraid of.
Purpose
According to the instructions, Butox is used to destroy crawling and flying arthropods on animals, walks, pastures, and in premises including housing. The drug has a protective effect. You should not bathe the animal three days before and the same time after treatment.
Butox 50, like other pesticides, does not affect arthropod eggs, so you need to wait three days until the larvae hatch
In order for them to become poisoned, it is important not to dilute the pesticide. It is believed that the toxicity of pyrethroids for warm-blooded animals is 2000 times less than for cold-blooded animals.
But this is in case of contact with skin. Therefore, when working with Butox and analogues, it is necessary to protect your eyes, nostrils, and mouth.
Safety when using cockroach sprays
In order to avoid such troubles, we will consider precautions when working with such drugs.
Precautionary measures
- Before using the drug, you must read the instructions in detail and perform all actions clearly as indicated there.
- Before starting to treat the premises, it is necessary to clear it of occupants (people, animals).
- During processing, all food products must be hidden (if they have been opened, they cannot be consumed).
- During application, it is advisable to wear a respirator or medical mask. If this is not the case, then use a damp cloth.
- The process of treating the room must occur quickly so that the handler does not inhale harmful fumes.
- After treatment, the room must be ventilated for at least half an hour.
- After completing the process, you must wash your hands thoroughly.
- After application, it is important to ensure that children and pets do not interact with the treated areas.
- If the spray gets on the mucous membranes, you must rinse everything thoroughly. If the irritation does not go away after this, consult a doctor.
Active ingredient and principle of action
Deltamethrin is used as the main active ingredient of Butox. This is a highly effective insecticide from the pyrethroid group used in agriculture. Like most isomers of this group, the action of deltamethrin is based on the activity of chrysanthemum acid, the free radicals in the formula are bromine atoms. In its technical form, deltamethrin is insoluble in water, so in the household it is used in ready-made form in Butox ampoules of 1 ml, the contents of which are diluted in 3-4 liters of water and used for treating premises and animals.
Method of penetration and absorption - contact and intestinal pesticide. Butox is used only for external use; recommended doses do not cause allergies. The substance is widely used in the agricultural sector, in households and in medicine to combat a number of parasites, harmful and synanthropic insect species. The deltamethrin formula contains only 1 isomer, which has a strong insecticidal effect. To create the drug, the one that has the most powerful insecticidal effect of the 8 existing isomers was chosen.
All pyrethroids have a destructive effect on the insect’s nervous system, disrupting calcium metabolism in synapses, and act on potassium-sodium channels, disrupting acetylcholine metabolism. As a result of strong stimulation of the nervous system, exoparasites die, and the protective effect of the active substance lasts about 15 days.
Analogue preparations of deltamethrin contained in Butox include butoflin, splender, decamethrin and others. The preparations are used for spraying agricultural crops and controlling pests. For warm-blooded representatives of the animal world, including humans, deltamethrin and Butox are moderately toxic substances. It is not used near apiaries; residues are not poured into open ground near water bodies due to the high toxicity of the isomers to fish.
Composition and mechanism of action
Like any other insecticide, this drug has an active substance, thanks to which the extermination of parasites is carried out. Leopard contains fipronil, which has shown in practice a very high level of effectiveness in the fight not only against parasites, but also against cockroaches.
The action of the active component is as follows. Upon contact with the drug, the active substance acts directly on the nervous system. First, the insect is paralyzed, and then breathing stops and death occurs.
If previously the drug was used only for its intended purpose, now its demand has increased significantly. And sellers of veterinary pharmacies will not be at all surprised if you voice the purpose of your purchase. Of course, like all insecticidal products, leopard requires proper use at home; not only the effectiveness, but also the safety of those living in the room will depend on this.
Butox instructions for use and effect of the drug
The low cost of Butox may give the wrong impression of its weak effectiveness. In fact, this drug has proven itself to be a fairly safe and effective remedy. When using the drug, it is recommended to ventilate the apartment so that the pungent and unpleasant odor disappears.
“Butox” makes it possible to get rid of the following types of parasites:
- lice eaters;
- fleas;
- mites;
- flies;
- lice;
- vile;
- bedbugs.
The main active element in the drug is the pyrethroid deltamethrin. The product itself has a yellow-gray color and an oily structure. The destruction of insects and parasites is explained by the concentration of the synthetic pyrethroid deltamethrin in the peripheral nervous system of the parasites, which leads to blockage of impulse neural activity and death.
Using Butox on the skin of cats and dogs
“Butox” - a drug available to every owner of a cat or dog, differs favorably from other drugs in that it can be effectively used both on the skin and during the treatment of any living space, as well as the immediate sleeping area of the pet. Thus, the destruction of parasites is carried out in any possible places in which they may be hiding. This is an absolutely safe treatment for both animals and their owners.
This product is used externally in the form of an emulsion solution - both for spraying the skin and for bathing. The oily solution is prepared immediately before use; it is prohibited to store this composition “in reserve”. It is also prohibited to use Butox on sick animals. It is not advisable to wet the animal’s skin 3 days before treatment and after 3 days, otherwise the effectiveness of the drug will decrease.
- For treatment for preventive purposes or, if necessary, to get rid of ticks, a dose of Butox (1 ml) is mixed in 1.4 liters of water.
- To treat the skin of a pet, use 1 ml of solution mixed with 4–5 liters of water. Bathing in this composition will make it possible to completely get rid of fleas and lice.
- During scabies, “Butox” is diluted in the amount of 1 ml per liter of water, the surface of the animal’s skin is treated twice with a break between treatments of one week.
- In autumn or spring, especially when parasites are more active, you need to use this drug every week.
If for some reason it is not possible to bathe your pet, then the instructions allow you to resort to spraying the skin, gradually moving along the body in the direction from the tail to the ears and completing the treatment with the paws. For treatment, the amount of product used is diluted in one liter of water:
- 1 ml – against scabies mites;
- 5 ml – against ticks;
- 25 ml – against lice.
After treatment, it is necessary to prevent your pet from licking the drug from its body. Short-haired animals are disinfected using a soft sponge in individual parts of the body; for the best treatment result for long-haired pets, it is recommended to bathe the animal completely. There is no need to rinse off the product after swimming.
After treatment, a residual effect is observed for two weeks. When one procedure is not enough and it was not possible to destroy all the parasites at once, then it is repeated no earlier than two weeks later.
Instructions for use
The insecticide is sold in glass ampoules. The concentrate is strong and requires dilution according to the instructions before use.
How to prepare the solution?
To prepare the solution, you need to dilute the ampoule in water (4 l). A veterinarian will help you determine the required emulsion concentration for a specific parasitic insect.
It is necessary to dilute the composition immediately before use, since the properties of the drug are not preserved in a diluted form.
Animal handling
External disinsection of animals requires compliance with its own rules:
Treatment of livestock or pets can be done by bathing or spraying with a spray bottle. If you plan to fight ticks, preventive measures, the concentration of the drug should be increased. Particular attention is paid to the fight against parasites in spring and autumn
Since insects are active, preventive measures are carried out weekly. Some parasites are not so simple and require repeated procedures. To combat scabies, a week interval is maintained between manipulations. When spraying, it is important to avoid getting “butox” on the mucous membranes and in the digestive tract. In this case, the composition is sprayed over the entire surface - from head to tail. During the period of manipulation, the animal must be isolated
Contact with other pets is excluded. Short-haired breeds are wiped with a sponge soaked in the preparation.
Note! It is not advisable to sleep with animals, pet them or have close contact after the procedure. Still, “butox” has some toxic effects.
Premises treatment
Disinsection with “butox” does not pose a danger to animals, and nevertheless, the dosage prescribed in the instructions should be maintained. Aerosol irrigation of industrial and residential premises, places where animals are kept, is carried out simultaneously with the animals. The concentration is diluted depending on which ectoparasites are planned to be combated.
If the surfaces are smooth, the product consumption is two times less than for the same area with a porous structure. For example: in the first case, 5 liters of “butox” are consumed per 100 m2. If the product is used for crawling pests, use a 0.3% concentration. To destroy flying insects, dilute 7.5 cm 3 in 5 liters of water.
Disinfestation of the chicken coop is carried out in the absence of birds. Perform mechanical cleaning of the room and spray surfaces. It is advisable not to let the chickens run for several days. After processing, ventilate the barn.
If cats and dogs have caused increased flea activity in the apartment, irrigate all surfaces, carpets, floors, and the animals’ favorite resting places. To do this, add 1 ml of the drug to 1.5 liters of water. During the procedure, animals and family members should not be in the apartment.
Let's celebrate! Return is possible only after thorough ventilation. After two weeks, the disinfestation is repeated, since the eggs were not damaged as a result of the first procedure, so the larvae will definitely be born.
General description and composition
Butox is a universal insecticide used against entire groups of domestic pests. Butox can be used to kill fleas, lice, ixodid and scabies mites.
The product is available in the form of a concentrated emulsion, packaged in 1 ml ampoules, and also in the form of a solution. Composition of Butox:
- deltamethrin is the main active ingredient;
- catalysts;
- stabilizers;
- fragrance
First of all, you need to treat the structural elements of the bed, the space around and under it, around the furniture
It is important not to confuse “Butox 50” for removing fleas and ticks from animals with Butox solution for treating agricultural premises. The latter is available in 1 liter bottles
In general, both options can be used to kill bedbugs, but the second is more effective.
The average cost of 10 Butox 50 ampoules is 90 rubles. The cost of the solution is 50 rubles per 10 ml (enough to treat one large room). The easiest way to purchase the product is at pet stores or household chemical stores.
How does Butox act on bedbugs, and how effective is the product? (+video)
Butox works on the same principle as most other insecticides. When the parasite comes into contact with the drug, it becomes infected, which slowly but surely affects the insect’s nervous system.
This period lasts several hours, after which the parasite dies. During the time that his nervous system “fails,” the parasite manages to infect other relatives. The bonus is that you can partially eliminate the problem with cockroaches.
Bed bug corpses will still contain a large dose of poison, so when cockroaches eat the corpses, the latter will also be infected. But Butox is not a specialized remedy against cockroaches, which is why it has such a scourge. it will help only partially.
The big problem with the drug is that it does not affect the clutches of parasites. This means that several repeated treatments of the room are necessary so that the hatched offspring are also infected. Usually 2-3 repeated treatments over 1-2 months are sufficient.
It is strictly not recommended to use Butox and other insecticides at the same time. The exception is specialized insecticidal products aimed at destroying the clutches of domestic parasites. In this case, the effect of the treatment will be extremely powerful.
Is the product dangerous for humans and pets?
Butox is a fairly aggressive and toxic substance, but if used correctly, the product will not harm either pets or humans. Serious harm can occur if the solution is accidentally swallowed or gets on mucous membranes.
To avoid intoxication, we carry out processing work in protective clothing. We use rubber gloves, construction glasses, a change of clothes with long sleeves, a respirator or even a gas mask.
When processing, windows should be open to allow fresh air to flow. But do not allow drafts - the doors must be closed. This way you will prevent both drafts and the penetration of product vapors into other rooms.
Description and release form
The production of the product is carried out by a Dutch company, which is presented for sale and packaged by a Russian company.
You can purchase the drug in veterinary clinics; the most convenient and popular packaging is in ampoules. Ampoules with a volume of 1 ml are produced, 5 pieces in a package. You can purchase both packaging and ampoules individually. The product is sold in the form of a concentrated oil liquid, which must be diluted before use. Use only as a preparation for external treatment of animals or premises. When diluting, you need to make sure that the product is evenly mixed in the water. Regarding the smell, it does not have a strong, but unpleasant aroma.
When working with the drug, you must strictly follow the instructions and adhere to safety precautions. If there are pets living in the apartment, which also need to be rid of parasites, then it is permissible to use a diluted substance for bathing or treatment. It is prohibited to use this product if the pet has any disease or is weakened.
The drug can be stored for 4 years from the date of manufacture, after which its use is prohibited. When storing, choose a dry, dark place that is out of reach of children. Make sure that there are no heating devices nearby or direct sunlight.
Efficiency
The domestic drug is much more effective than the imported one. A foreign product works great outside our country or in the first year of its appearance on the Russian market. Subsequently, this drug begins to be diluted, which reduces its beneficial properties. For example, spraying dogs
Butox has long been the most effective means of combating external parasites in Russia. The cost of the drug in large containers (especially for farmers) is much cheaper than in ampoules. The only negative is that the protection against ectoparasites is short-lived. It is necessary to repeat the treatment after 10 days due to the development characteristics of insects.
Similar methods of dealing with bedbugs
Ammonia is not the only folk remedy for fighting evil spirits. There are several other methods that have been popular with people for many years:
- Kerosene. Its smell, like the smell of ammonia, is unbearable for bloodsuckers. It blocks the flow of air and causes parasites to suffocate. True, this rarely leads to death, and for the insect to die, it will have to be completely doused with the substance. But the drug is capable of disgracefully expelling living creatures. To get the best result, kerosene is used undiluted or naphthalene is added to it.
- Denatured alcohol is a fairly powerful drug that can even cope with larvae and eggs. True, they don’t treat the apartment with industrial alcohol; they will have to douse the insect nests. Please note that this substance is highly flammable. In addition, denatured alcohol is very toxic and can cause coughing attacks.
- Vinegar. The main advantage of vinegar is its safety for humans, unless, of course, it is consumed internally. Vinegar can not only drive away, but also destroy bloodsuckers. To expel parasites, you need to wipe the surfaces well with a cloth soaked in the preparation or with a cotton pad. The product can be used either diluted or pure. The stronger the solution, the faster the result will be achieved.
- Turpentine from which the solution is prepared. It contains essential oils of coniferous trees, which is what causes the specific smell. Turpentine is a toxic and flammable substance that requires special care during use. Poisoning of insects is carried out only with protective gloves. If the chemical reagent gets on the skin, it must be immediately washed with soap and water.
There are other folk methods of baiting bedbugs: tar soap, copper sulfate, alabaster with vanillin, meadow and field herbs. Each of them has its own pros and cons, the main one being the lack of a guaranteed result.
How consumers respond to the drug
Consumers who have used Butox-50 are usually divided into two camps: satisfied and dissatisfied. Satisfied people note the high effectiveness of the drug in the complex treatment of animals and the premises in which they are kept. They are also pleased with the low cost of the drug Butox-50, the price of which, we repeat, is about one hundred rubles per package (5 ampoules). Dissatisfied people complain about the degree of toxicity of the drug, as some experience allergic reactions. Some note a deterioration in the health of their pets and attribute this to drug poisoning.
The third category of livestock breeders believes that treating pets with Butox is already outdated, and prefers to use other flea and tick remedies that are more convenient to use, such as drops, sprays and collars.
Some consumers add the product to water and wash the floor to prevent and kill parasites. As a result, parasites do not appear or disappear.
User experience with Butox
Customer reviews about the action of Butox confirm its effectiveness. Users note the presence of an odor that disappears 1–2 days after using the drug. The effect against parasites is observed after a day of treatment.
Many people prefer washing floors with a Butox solution to fine-drop spraying. This way you can avoid contact of toxic substances with objects that do not need treatment, and reduce the risk of butox getting on mucous membranes from the surrounding air. If there are pets in the apartment, they must be treated for parasites at the same time.
When it comes to direct treatment of pets, many people prefer other forms of flea treatment: drops on the withers, collars, sprays, shampoos. The drug market is large and users find the safest and most convenient products for treating pets.
Butox-50 in ampoules, instructions for use, analogues

For use at home, use “Butox-50” in ampoules, which allows you to correctly and without much effort prepare an active solution that is safe for others.

“Butox-50,” the instructions for use of which are in the package, is used to kill fleas, lice, lice, chicken mites, scabies and ixodid mites, as well as flies, mosquitoes and bedbugs.
The working solution of the drug must be prepared immediately before use. To do this, the concentrated Butox-50 emulsion is diluted with cool tap water in proportions that depend on what parasites are to be fought:
- Lice, fleas, lice eaters - 1 ampoule (1 ml) per 4 liters of water. Repeated treatment is carried out after a month.
- Ixodid ticks - 1 dose per 1.5 liters of water. The second treatment should be carried out after 2 weeks, and after that - as necessary.

Calculate the required concentration of the drug using the general formula:
(A*B)/C=X, where A is the required concentration of the working solution; B—required amount of emulsion (ml); C is the content of the active substance in the solution (%); X is the amount of concentrate (5%) required to prepare 1 liter of working fluid.
For example, you need to prepare a liter of solution with a concentration of 0.004%. The data is substituted into the formula and you get:
X= (0.004%*1000 ml) / 5%
X= 0.8 ml
This means that in order to prepare 1 liter of 0.004% solution, you need to take 0.8 ml of concentrate (5%); for 10 l - 8 ml of Butox (8 ampoules), which is diluted in a small amount of water and poured into a prepared container, then adjusted to the required volume.

How to use it correctly?
There are several ways to get rid of bedbugs using ammonia. It can be poured into small containers and placed where parasites usually nest. Saucers should be placed in places where they are inaccessible to children and pets.
The second option is to add a caustic liquid to the water used to wash the floors. Sometimes this way it is possible to remove not only bed bugs, but also ants and cockroaches. In addition, some apartment owners mix ammonia against bedbugs with denatured alcohol or kerosene. After this, the poison is poured into all the cracks. Several cotton swabs soaked in the substance can be placed under the mattress, inside the sofa, in closets and chests of drawers.
Using alcohol to fight bedbugs requires certain precautions. Before starting to destroy bloodsuckers, people and all pets are taken out of the apartment: ammonia is deadly for animals. Only the person carrying out the disinfestation should be in the apartment.
Since ammonia for bedbugs is a concentrated and active substance, it is diluted with water before starting work. The recommended proportion is approximately 3 tablespoons of ammonia per liter jar of water.
When the bedbug treatment is completed, the exterminator needs to go out into the fresh air and take a walk. Even a weak ammonia solution in the absence of air can cause nausea, headaches and breathing difficulties. In addition, after the procedure you need to rinse your mouth, wash with soap and wash your clothes.
At the same time, the windows are opened so that the acrid smell begins to disappear. Ammonia quickly dissipates, so you will have to treat your home several times.
