General properties of Tsifoks
According to the instructions, Tsifox has an insectoacaricidal effect, ensuring the complete destruction of ants, cockroaches, fleas, bedbugs, scabies and rat mites, larvae and adults of mosquitoes and flies, lice within 20-25 minutes. The duration of action of Cifox depends on the type of surface being treated and on the concentration of the emulsion (from one week to three months). The residual effect of Cifox on indoor surfaces ranges from one to three months; in an aquatic environment – 1-3 weeks; in open nature conditions (when using Tsifoks to combat mosquito components) - from one to six weeks; when treating against ixodid ticks - from one to two months. As a result of contact with clothing, ixodid ticks die, while the acaricidal effect of Tsifox will last up to two weeks.
Reviews of Tsifox confirm that the effectiveness of the drug largely depends on the sensitivity of arthropod populations to its active component.
Some reviews of Tsifoks say that when using the product to combat insect populations that are highly resistant to peritroids, its insectoacaricidal effect is significantly reduced.
Other drugs for bedbugs
Modern insecticide.
It is used to destroy insects in residential and administrative or industrial premises. Complete elimination of parasites is possible in 3 disinfections.

Precautions when working with the drug
The use of professional preparations to combat bedbugs and cockroaches requires the mandatory availability of personal protective equipment and compliance with all requirements and safety measures specified in the instructions. “Tsifoks” (for bedbugs) belongs to such drugs. Consumer reviews characterize it as a rather toxic product, so strict adherence to the instructions in the instructions is mandatory.
It is advisable to dilute the drug to the required concentration and pour the solution into special equipment in specially equipped points. To directly apply the emulsion to the treated surfaces, large- and small-droplet backpack-type sprayers or some other apparatus designed for spraying insecticides are usually used. People who are hypersensitive to the active ingredient – cypermethrin – are prohibited from working with Cifox. Contact with the drug by children and minors, pregnant women and nursing mothers is also prohibited. You are not allowed to drink or eat anything in the premises where disinfestation is being carried out.
People who directly treat cockroaches with the drug “Tsifox” (reviews characterize it as an effective means of combating this type of insect, as well as bedbugs) must necessarily use personal protective equipment: overalls made of water-repellent fabrics, respirators , sealed glasses, rubber gloves.
It is important to know that the drug cannot be used to treat sleeping and play areas in children's institutions.
After the exterminator finishes his work, he needs to take a shower. If for some reason this is not possible, he should at least wash the exposed areas of the body with plenty of water. After treatment (carried out with open windows), the room needs long-term ventilation (half an hour or more). Wet cleaning can be done no earlier than after 9-12 hours.
Instructions for use of Tsifoks
Working emulsions of the product should be prepared immediately before using Tsifoks. It is necessary to dilute Tsifox with tap water, continuously stirring the resulting solution for five minutes. It is recommended to use the finished emulsion within eight hours. To apply Cifox, large-volume large-droplet sprayers are most often used. To destroy rat mites, scabies mites, ants, and bed bugs, use a 0.05% aqueous emulsion of Tsifox. To combat cockroaches, fleas, flies, mosquitoes and their larvae, use a 0.1% aqueous solution of the product.

To destroy cockroaches , the working solution is used to treat places where insects accumulate, nest and move, paying special attention to the following places: cracks and holes in floors and walls, door frames, thresholds, floor and ceiling skirting boards, ventilation holes, pipe joints, cladding, kitchen furniture . If there are a large number of insects, the entire room should be treated at once (even those rooms where there were no insects). This is carried out in order to prevent the migration of cockroaches to other territories and their further spread. When insects appear, re-treatment is carried out.
When treating bedbugs , the entire room is often not treated. If the number of parasites is insignificant, only their habitats are treated with the working solution. If there is a high infestation of bed bugs, the areas where wallpaper has peeled off, baseboards, window frames, door frames and ventilation holes, cracks in walls, back walls of furniture, carpets, and mattresses should also be treated. It is not recommended to treat bed linen with the working solution; it must be washed at high temperatures. After 5-7 days, it is recommended to re-treat, as young offspring may appear from the larvae that you may have missed.
To destroy ants , the working solution is sprayed on the places of accumulation and movement (paths) of insects.
When treating fleas , the working solution should expose walls (up to a height of 1 meter from the floor), the entire floor surface, various floor coverings, baseboards and cracks. When processing basements, it is necessary to get rid of garbage and clutter and thoroughly treat the entire room. Pet beds should also be treated and washed well after 24 hours.
To kill rat mites, treat walls and floors near heating pipes, baseboards, work tables, and the bottom and back walls of furniture. If necessary, re-treatment can be carried out only after 7-10 days.
When treating against flies and mosquitoes , insect landing sites, as well as external walls, garbage chutes and garbage containers should be treated with a working solution. To destroy fly larvae, cesspools and waste can be treated once every 20-30 days. To destroy mosquito larvae with a working solution, it is necessary to treat the surfaces of closed reservoirs, basements, and large containers with standing water.
Disinsection at railway and metro facilities is carried out in premises, including carriages of various types, service and special purpose carriages, dining cars and canteens, and other stationary departmental facilities in the absence of people. In subway cars, cracks in and under seats are treated, including along baseboards, entrance and side door cracks. At metro stations, cracks along columns and benches for passengers must be treated; cabins and rooms for station attendants, meal rooms, showers, toilets and garbage bins, inspection ditches and escalator slopes.
To destroy ixodid ticks, it is necessary to completely treat the selected area. First of all, it is necessary to clear the area of leaves, mown grass, branches and other litter in which ticks can live. The remaining vegetation on the site must be processed.
Treatment is carried out 3-5 days before people visit the area and under favorable climatic conditions for a period of at least 3 days.
For preventive purposes, you can create a barrier 50-100 meters wide around the site from crushed stone, sand and other things.
It is prohibited to carry out sanitary measures near sources of fishing and drinking water. Grazing of livestock on the treated area is allowed only after 40 days.
To treat a room from lice and scabies mites, use a working solution to treat the floor, chairs and other objects with which infected people have been in contact. If necessary, treatment is carried out daily after receiving visitors.
In order to protect against ticks and fleas, clothes and linen are treated by irrigation until lightly dampened, paying special attention to collars, belts, seams and folds of fabric.
Clothes treated with the product must be dried flat out in the open air in the shade or in a well-ventilated area for 2 hours. Things can only be used after they are completely dry and thoroughly ventilated.
Precautionary measures
Preparation of the emulsion and refilling of containers should be carried out at special gas stations. According to the instructions, persons under 18 years of age, nursing and pregnant women, as well as persons with hypersensitivity to pesticides are prohibited from working with Cifox. Smoking, drinking, and eating are prohibited at work sites.
Persons working with Tsifoks must be provided with personal protective equipment - overalls (overalls made of water-repellent or thick fabric), sealed goggles and a respirator. After work, you should thoroughly wash exposed areas of the body with water.
Disinsection of premises should be carried out with open windows and vents. After work, the room must be ventilated for half an hour. Cleaning the room with open vents and windows should be carried out 9-12 hours after disinfestation.
Correct treatment of the room
The treatment procedure itself may differ and depends primarily on the degree of infestation of the apartment. For example, if cockroaches have just begun to appear and there are not very many of them yet, then you can get by with treating the kitchen, bath, and toilet. But if there are a lot of them in the room, then a full treatment should be carried out, absolutely the entire room.
Remember that in case of severe infestation, you will need to pay great attention to hard-to-reach places and furniture. When properly treated, kitchen cabinets can be disassembled, since it is in the hidden voids that cockroaches lay their eggs.
Upholstered furniture is also treated; when applied to highly absorbent surfaces, twice as much solution is required.
Do not forget that you will have to work with poison, which is dangerous not only for insects, but also for people and animals. Be sure to follow all safety precautions and follow the instructions.
Preparing the premises
This stage is especially important, since a properly prepared room will ensure the greatest effectiveness of the treatment. In addition, it is required in order to protect people living in the apartment from exposure to toxic chemicals.
To do this you will need:
- It is necessary to hide all food products; use airtight containers and bags.
- Be sure to hide dishes, kitchen utensils, and empty cabinets in the kitchen.
- We also remove personal hygiene products, towels, and bedding.
- Remove all things from surfaces so that the insecticide does not get on them,
- You will need to seal all the cracks and eliminate leaks.
- Move the furniture away from the walls so we can gain access to the baseboards.
- Next, get rid of the cobwebs, sweep, wipe off the dust and be sure to carry out wet cleaning.
You can start preparing the solution.
Preparation of the solution
Read the instructions for use. Be sure to use protective equipment. It is necessary to wear a respirator, safety glasses and gloves. It is ideal to wear protective coveralls, which will provide protection to all areas of the skin, but you can wear pants and a long-sleeved shirt. Choose shoes that can be washed after the procedure.
To prepare the solution, you must strictly follow the instructions. It is prohibited to increase the concentration or change the proportions on your own, since this will not increase the effect and can harm people’s health.
According to the instructions, the drug is diluted in water. To prepare the solution, use containers that can be recycled. After combining the components, you need to mix well for five minutes. It is necessary to prepare the solution before the application procedure itself, since the product can remain in this form for no more than hours. Next, the solution needs to be poured into a spray bottle or spray bottle. Open the windows and you can start processing.
Processing procedure
It is necessary to pay attention to baseboards, back walls of cabinets, behind the refrigerator, behind the radiator. Treat ventilation openings, all pipes and drains, areas near the toilet and bathtub, corners
If upholstered furniture is being processed, then it is necessary to apply twice as much solution.
Mandatory events
The action of the pesticide is very dangerous for people and animals. Therefore, after disinfestation, it is necessary to carry out the following procedures:
- Only one person returns to the apartment, who will carry out wet cleaning. It is necessary in order to neutralize the effect of a dangerous poison in places where it is available to people and animals.
- Wet cleaning is carried out with gloves and using a soda-soap solution.
- The floor, doors, handles, tables, chairs, cabinets on the outside and all places with which people and animals will come into contact are thoroughly washed.

Information about tsifox
Cifox anti-cockroach remedy is a concentrated yellowish liquid. It has a pungent odor and is available in bottles made of polymer materials. The volume of the drug is different, there are containers of 50 ml, there are 1 liter. It depends on the situation in which the product is used. Sanitary services use liter bottles for treating premises; for private use, 50 ml is enough.
Tsifox contains the toxic component cypermethrin, the concentration is 25%. In addition to the toxic element, the composition contains:
- Fragrances;
- Solvent;
- Emulsifiers.
Based on the components that are in the composition, the remedy for cockroaches is called an emulsion concentrate. When using at home, you should be careful; the substances can cause poisoning in animals.
Tsifoks product instructions for use, how to dilute, reviews
Tsifox is not just an insectoacaricidal drug, but a concentrate. A powerful product used to combat numerous parasites and pests. This product is used by companies that officially have the right to disinfect premises. The drug is presented in the form of a light liquid that has a powerful, specific odor. Before use, the drug is mixed with water. After application, the color of the product is almost invisible. However, the smell remains for some time.
Tsifoks is sold in containers of various volumes: 50, 500, 1000 ml. The composition of the drug includes fragrance, emulsifiers, solvents. There is also a 25 percent content of cypermethrin, which is considered a second-generation insecticide and has a wide spectrum of action. Once in the body, the drug has a negative effect on the nervous system and paralyzes insects. The drug does not have a paralyzing effect on humans and warm-blooded animals. However, if the rules for safe use are not followed, mild poisoning and an allergic reaction may occur.
Mechanism of action
The drug has a detrimental effect on parasites in several ways, which significantly increases its effectiveness. After application to the surface, the flea comes into contact with toxic components that penetrate the chitin coating and affect the nervous system, death occurs within a few minutes. The drug can also act through the gastrointestinal tract, which accelerates the effect. The substance can enter the intestines along with food or while the flea is cleaning itself.
The drug has a fairly long period of action after application. The active components remain effective for 3 months. Tsifox has the greatest activity on the first day after treatment, then it begins to decrease, but this happens gradually. It is worth considering that indoors the product remains active for the longest period of time. In the open air, activity is influenced by external factors, and it dissipates faster.
If we consider the reviews of those who have already used Tsifoks in the fight against fleas in their apartments, then it is worth considering that repeated treatment may be required. Much depends on the degree of infection. If the infestation is minor, one procedure will be sufficient; when large colonies live in the apartment, a repeat procedure is required.
Main advantages
The main thing that distinguishes the drug from similar products is its ability to destroy various synanthropic organisms.
Tsifoks effectively fights flies, cockroaches, ants, bedbugs, and ticks. It is often used to treat rooms that are infested with scabies mites and lice. In addition to treating premises, Tsifoks is also used in open areas and reservoirs. This is an excellent means of combating midges in artificial and natural reservoirs. The product is professional. It is often used to treat subways, trains and other public places. It has shown itself to be excellent in the fight against ixodid ticks. Benefits also include:
- high speed of action. The death of pests begins within half an hour after applying the drug;
- long lasting effect. Even those parasites that were still in the eggs at the time of treatment will be immediately poisoned after hatching.
- The product is perfect for treating residential premises, as it does not leave any marks on furniture.
Digital description
Tsifoks is a new generation insecticide used by professional exterminators. An effective remedy in the fight against bedbugs and other domestic parasites. The product is based on the insecticidal substance cypermethrin at a 25% concentration, and additionally includes a fragrance, emulsifier, and solvent. This is an emulsion concentrate that is diluted with water. It is a clear liquid with a yellowish tint and a slightly pleasant odor. Available in 50 ml, 500 ml and 1 liter containers. Belongs to the peritroid group of contact-intestinal action, causing paralysis of the insect and inevitable death.
Flaws
Despite the obvious advantages, Cifox also has some disadvantages:
- before use, the product should be properly prepared by diluting it with water in the required proportions;
- it is extremely important to follow the instructions exactly and observe the dosage;
- special attention should be paid to precautionary measures, since Cifox has a fairly high toxicity;
- there is a possibility of addiction. In this case, when repeated treatment, insects will not react to the drug;
- an unpleasant specific odor that will persist for some time after treatment.
Treating open areas against ticks
It is recommended to treat areas and territories with a solution of CIFOX in the spring-summer season, i.e. during the period of tick activity. If possible, the area is treated three days before people enter the area. At the same time, the active substance Cypermethrin remains active against ticks for another 1.5 months.
Treatment of open areas should be carried out in dry, windless weather with no rain forecast for the next three days. Total destruction of ticks occurs within three days after treatment. If there are heavy rains in the first three days after spraying the drug solution, the effectiveness of the active substance may decrease significantly.
To treat open natural areas against ticks of the genus Ixodes, dilute 5 ml of CIFOX per 1 liter of water. The consumption of the resulting solution is 1 liter per 1 hectare of territory.
To treat natural areas against ticks of the genus Dermacentor, Haemaphysalis or Rhipicephalus, dilute 12 ml of the drug CIFOX per 1 liter of water. The consumption of the resulting solution is 1 liter per 1 hectare of land.
The resulting acaricidal solution is sprayed over grass and shrubs to a height of 50 cm using a sprayer. At the same time, playgrounds, paths, places with growing vegetables and berries do not need to be treated.
Processing of natural areas is carried out using fine-droplet equipment with a droplet diameter of 20 - 150 microns.
Tsifoks – Instructions for use
Tsifoks is used only in diluted form. When mixed with water, the drug acquires a milky color. Since oxygen negatively affects the diluted composition, it is not recommended to prepare it in advance. This mixture cannot be stored. This leads to a significant decrease in efficiency.
Depending on the degree of infection, different proportions are used. As a rule, this is indicated on the packaging. For example, for minor contamination, use 1 ml of the drug per 1 liter of water. If it is strong, it is recommended to double the concentration of the drug. This means for 1 liter of water you will need to use 2 ml of product.
( Video : “Unique test No. 2 of anti-tick products”)
Before use, the composition is thoroughly mixed for several minutes. Then the mixture is poured into a spray bottle for convenient and uniform application to the surface.
Correct Application
If you have to work with the drug, you need to remember safety. This is a very toxic substance that, if used incorrectly, can harm the health of humans and animals. It is forbidden to use the product undiluted; the concentrated liquid is very toxic. Remember that you should not allow the substance to come into contact with your skin or mucous membranes; toxic fumes are very dangerous.
Treatment of a room consists of several stages, each of which affects efficiency and safety. Therefore, when working, you must follow the instructions for use and adhere to the recommendations. The main stages include preparation of the premises, safety measures for people and animals, drug preparation and processing, and post-procedure activities. Let's look at all the stages in more detail.
How to breed Tsifoks from bedbugs, mosquitoes, fleas
The drug is diluted depending on what parasites you are going to fight.:
- to kill large bedbugs or cockroaches, you need to prepare a 0.2% solution. Here, 6 ml of the drug is used per liter of water;
- treatment for small bugs, ticks or ants should be carried out with a 0.05 percent solution. To do this, 2 ml of the drug is diluted in 1 liter of water;
- mosquitoes, fleas and flies will die from a 0.1 percent solution. Here, 4 ml of product is used per liter of water.
After dilution, it is recommended to let the mixture sit for a few minutes. It is recommended to apply the drug with a sprayer, which has the ability to regulate the spray intensity. In addition to a spray bottle, you can also use a regular brush. After moistening it in the solution, treat smooth surfaces.
The greatest activity of the active ingredients is observed in the first 20 minutes. During this time, more than 80 percent of pests die. The effect of the drug gradually decreases. The product disappears completely after three months. During this time, Tsifox will continue to repel pests trying to return to the premises.
( Video : “Tsifoks – a remedy for ticks and other insects.”)
After treatment, 10-12 hours must pass before the room can be used again. Here it is necessary to carry out wet cleaning, wash all treated surfaces with clean water.
How to properly poison bedbugs with Tsifoks
The drug is very strong. Most parasites die within 30 minutes. During the first 3 hours of exposure, the entire colony of insects is destroyed. However, there are still eggs left. Unfortunately, Tsifoks cannot cope with them. The dense shell of the egg protects the embryo from the action of the poison. The bedbugs continue to develop as if nothing had happened. This takes approximately 2 weeks under favorable conditions. After this time, new parasites appear. When initially treated with a 0.05% concentrate, the effect of the drug lasts for 4 months. New parasites
After birth, they immediately become infected, without having time to give life to new offspring. However, to be on the safe side, manufacturers recommend re-treatment after 10–14 days.
It is mandatory to disinfect the apartment again if a 0.01% concentrate was initially used. Every day the activity of the insecticide weakens under the influence of sunlight and room temperature. A protective layer on surfaces may not be sufficient to kill insects. Moreover, a low concentration of poison increases the risk of bed bugs developing resistance to cypermethrin. A small dose of the drug acts on them similarly to a vaccination. The bugs will get sick and become even stronger. Then it will be more difficult to deal with them. You will need a product based on another insecticide. And the point is not in the effectiveness of Tsifoks, but in the incorrect disinfestation procedure.
Final cleaning should be carried out no earlier than 1 month. Immediately after disinfestation, wash only those places. Where a person's hand can touch. The insecticide should remain on other surfaces. You will have to process the entire room along the perimeter up and down. Bed bugs even have the ability to climb onto the ceiling and from there fall onto a sleeping person.
Fighting cockroaches
It is recommended to pay attention to the main points of combating mustachioed pests:
- If the insects have appeared recently, you can first treat only the places where they accumulate.
- In the fight against cockroaches, the frames of sofas and beds, the joints of baseboards with wallpaper, carpets and furniture walls must be thoroughly treated.
- In case of severe infestation, treat everything where cockroaches can live: the bottom of window sills, chairs, electrical appliances, painting surfaces.
- If the surface to be treated is made of a material that quickly absorbs liquid, it is recommended to increase the volume of the product used.

Mosquito control
Outdoor recreation on a warm summer evening is often spoiled by annoying mosquitoes. As a rule, attacks by these insects are accompanied by unpleasant itchy bites. Many classical drugs designed specifically to combat these blood-sucking insects turn out to be ineffective. They do not give the desired effect, so a person has to look for newer and more modern options for solving this problem. Rules for use against mosquitoes:
- for a small number of insects, dilute 2 ml of the drug in 1 liter of water;
- The product is suitable for treating trees and summer cottages. At the same time, bees are not afraid of the effect of the product;
- To combat mosquitoes in a summer cottage, ponds and wetlands are thoroughly treated. Here it is recommended to increase the concentration of the drug to 4 ml per 1 liter of water;

- Streams and flowing bodies of water should not be treated. It is prohibited to use the drug for treating bodies of water that are used for swimming.
Destruction of mosquitoes and midges
To eliminate midges, Tsifoks is used to treat:
- Clothing, equipment, tent sites. The instructions for treating clothing and travel accessories are the same as when applying Tsifox to the same items against ticks. The only difference is in the dosage of the active substance (see table). If the clothing has already been treated against tick attacks, then re-application of the anti-midge drug is not required.
- Lawns, shrubs, paths on a summer cottage in the event of a massive accumulation of adult mosquitoes and midges. Tsifoks does not have the selective property of killing insects, therefore it is strictly forbidden to carry out treatment during the flight of bees and in the apiary. The method of applying the drug in open areas is the same as when treating an area against ticks; you just need to prepare a solution with the required concentration of cypermethrin according to the table.
- Cellar, basement, pond. A reservoir is treated if it becomes a site of significant breeding of midges. Drinking water sources, fishing ponds, and swimming areas must not be disinfested.
- Buildings for animals and other outbuildings.
