In order to destroy synanthropic insects (and bed bugs too), different types of means are used, the drug “Tsifoks” also belongs to them. It affects the nervous system of insects, which allows you to quickly clean the apartment. If used correctly, you can also get rid of the young generation that emerges from eggs. If you do not follow the recommendations for using the solution, the parasites will soon appear again.
Knowing the characteristics of the reproduction and development of bedbugs, you can remove them from the site using the drug “Tsifoks”, otherwise even the most effective remedy will not be effective.
Composition, release form and principle of action of the product
The drug can only be purchased in liquid form. The concentrated product contains a significant dose of insecticide. The active ingredient is cypermethrin. It is contained in an amount corresponding to 25% of the total volume. You can purchase the drug in bottles of 50 and 250 ml. Large containers (up to 5 liters) are also available. In domestic conditions (for treating an apartment), a 50 ml bottle is sufficient.
The product is purchased in the largest volumes for large objects; it can also be used to destroy street pests.
The drug is one-component. This means that it contains only 1 active substance. In addition to it, the composition includes fragrances and emulsifiers. Cypermethrin (insecticide, which is the main active ingredient) is an insecticide-acaricidal agent; it can be used against various pests (insects, arachnids). This makes it versatile.
Cypermethrin exhibits enteric contact effects. This means that the substance is equally effective at killing insects in different ways: when the substance enters through the cuticle (the chitinous membrane of the parasite) and the digestive system. In the second case, the poison reaches its target earlier, because it is immediately delivered to the body, spreads through the tissues, and begins to work.
Upon contact exposure, the poison first appears on the outer integument. Only then is it delivered to the tissues.
To destroy bed bugs, the only possible method is contact. These insects will not respond to bait because they do not consume other food, but only the blood of warm-blooded creatures. At the same time, the nervous system of the parasites is also affected. "Tsifoks" acts on pests in a special way:
- retains its properties when exposed to heat (high temperature, ultraviolet radiation), therefore it is effective for 1 month after treatment;
- destroys insects resistant to insecticides of other classes (for example, FOS);
- affects the membranes of nerve cells;
- synaptic disturbances in the functioning of the nervous system are caused by depolarization of repeated discharges.
- disrupts the function of sodium channels (they open and close much more slowly);
- the rate of flow of sodium ions changes, and cypermethrin is considered the most effective substance among pyrethroids, which has a significant effect on this process;
The substance is destroyed in an alkaline environment, which means that after its effect ends (after 2-4 weeks), cleaning should be done using a soap or soda solution.

General characteristics of insectoacaricide
An effective drug developed and produced domestically, which has been on the market for more than 15 years. The Tsifox product has a wide range of effects on synanthropic insects - cockroaches, ticks, bed bugs, ants and other parasites. The insecticide is a concentrated yellowish liquid with a specific pungent odor. It is packaged in dark plastic containers with a volume of 50 to 1000 ml.
The active component of Cifox is cypermethrin (25%). It has a neuroparalytic effect on cockroaches and other types of pests. Penetrating into the body of the Prussians through the chitinous shell and natural openings, the poison provokes paralysis and death of the parasite. Approximately half an hour after disinfestation of the premises, not a single living individual remains in it.
The composition contains additional substances - emulsifiers, solvent, fragrance and stabilizer. Pyrethroid is dangerous for parasitic insects; its effect on warm-blooded representatives is minimal if precautions are taken. The duration of exposure of the product to pests is determined by the concentration of the drug Tsifoks in the working solution. On average, in a treated room, it remains effective for 3 months.
Important!
Cypermethrin is one of the most effective insecticides, made from Persian chamomile. It belongs to the group of pyrethroids that block the nerve cells of parasites. Analogues - Raptor, Clean House, Fas, Raid, Dichlorvos, Yurax. All these products contain cypermethrin.
Bedbug repellent Tsifoks: instructions for use
The drug is mixed with clean water (without additives or other chemicals), and the temperature of the liquid should be room temperature.

- bed frame, sofa frame;
- the back surfaces of the remaining furniture, as well as areas at the base;
- the back side of small objects in the house: paintings, clocks, flowerpots, decorative elements of any type, because bedbugs hide in any small crevices next to the bed;
- areas around the perimeter around the outlets (but not inside!);
- the bottom of the carpet;
- housing of household appliances.
To prevent spraying a liquid product from leading to a dangerous situation (short circuit, fire), you must first turn off the power (on the panel).
Before use, the drug must be mixed with water.

REMINDER ON THE CULTURE AND USE OF THE DRUG CIFOX
How to breed Tsifoks from bedbugs
The entire procedure is clearly described in the instructions. Preparing the solution does not take much time and does not cause difficulties. It is enough to find the necessary containers, get a spray bottle, and protect yourself from poisoning.
- The concentrate is diluted in water at room temperature.
- In case of severe contamination of the room, prepare a more concentrated solution - 1 liter. 2 ml of product. The consumption of the product is calculated based on the area of the room.
- For repeated treatment, moderate infestation of bed bugs in an apartment, 0.4 ml of Tsifox is diluted in 1 liter of water.
- Mix thoroughly for 5 minutes.
- Pour into a spray bottle, or even better, dilute it directly in it.
For the initial treatment of an apartment in case of severe infection, a solution with an active substance concentration of 0.05% is obtained. Regarding the required quantity, half a bottle is enough for an apartment for complete, high-quality disinfestation. 25 ml of the drug is diluted in 12.5 liters. water. In this case, it is advisable to initially dissolve in 1 liter, then add the rest of the water, mix everything well again. If you have to treat a house or a large apartment, use the entire bottle of insecticide per 25 liters of water. After treatment with 0.05%, the concentrate continues to act on the surface for up to 4 months.
In case of mild contamination of the premises, as well as during repeated disinfestation, prepare a 0.01% solution. To do this, dilute 4 ml of the drug in 10 liters of water. The protection is valid for a month.
During the preparation of the solution, safety precautions must be observed:
- You should wear rubber gloves on your hands, protect your respiratory tract with a respirator, and wear a suit with trousers and a long-sleeved jacket. To protect your eyes, it is recommended to wear special glasses. Only in such uniforms is it allowed to carry out disinfestation.
- To prevent splashing when adding concentrate to liquid, the bottle must be kept close to the surface of the water.
- You need to choose a container that you don’t mind throwing away later.
Proper preparation of the solution is the key to a successful operation against bedbugs!
Indications for use
The drug should be used as soon as traces of bed bugs are found in your apartment or on your body. To do this, you should look for manifestations:
- bites on the body in the morning - red dots or spots, severe itching;
- a specific smell that is not always felt, it becomes stronger when there are a lot of insects, as well as when entering home, the smell resembles old cognac or almonds and even rotten raspberries - people’s opinions differ on this matter, everyone smells different notes;
- brown husks inside the furniture - insect cuticle;
- white formations are bedbug eggs;
- dark marks on the furniture are insect excrement.
“Tsifoks” is also used to detect other pests: cockroaches, ants, fleas. The signs of appearance are similar: traces of vital activity are visible on surfaces, and bites on the body (if the insect is blood-sucking).

I used Tsifox for bedbugs twice, I liked the result - the apartment was clean after just a few days. The second time I sprayed the product for prevention, suddenly there were eggs left somewhere.
Vera, 45 years old, Nizhny Novgorod
Cypermethrin certainly helps a lot. But I wouldn't recommend using it too often. The insecticide in the drug, like other chemicals, can cause resistance in insects, the seller told me this, and I also studied the issue myself. It is better to alternate it with other means.
General information about the drug Cifox
- With the help of Tsifoks, many people quickly achieve the desired result. This is explained by the fact that the composition contains quite a lot of dangerous toxins, which makes it unsafe for humans. This should be taken into account when processing the premises and follow all the necessary safety rules that are included in the instructions.
- The active substance is cypermethrin . It is destructive not only for bedbugs, but also for other flying and crawling insects. It also contains additional fragrances and emulsifiers. They reduce the negative impact of the drug on the human body.
- The smell of the drug is quite dangerous and unpleasant; inhaling it can cause poisoning or burns. Therefore, it is recommended to use a respirator. But, of course, everything depends on the specific organism. If you follow all safety rules, you can rest assured for small children and animals.
- If you are going to treat an ordinary apartment, then the smallest bottle will be enough for you. To treat a private home or large production facility, it is better to purchase a large canister. It will work out much cheaper.

Features of preparing an apartment before treatment
To achieve maximum effect when spraying or applying the product, you should correctly approach the procedure for preparing the room. There are many places in a residential building where pests can hide: inside furniture, behind baseboards and in other areas. When you plan to use Tsifox for bedbugs, follow the following sequence of actions:
- empty the bed of bed linen, pillows, blankets, all woven products are subjected to high-temperature treatment;
- the mattress must be cleaned of insects (if the nest is located here), then it is placed next to the wall at a certain angle;
- the carpet (if there is one at home) is rolled up, taken outside, and if insects are present, treatment is also carried out here;
- the furniture needs to be moved a little, it is enough to move the cabinets, armchairs, sofa by 10-20 cm, which will allow for high-quality processing of the back surfaces and baseboards;
- check flower pots; there may also be bedbugs behind the pallets;
- remove the curtains and wash them;
- Wall objects (clocks, paintings) are also treated from the back, for which they are first removed.
Tsifox for bedbugs contains an insecticide that belongs to hazard class 3. This means that it is conditionally safe for people and animals (if the rules for using the product are not violated). However, if possible, it should not be sprayed over woven materials, especially bedding, blankets, and pillows.
Such items are processed in other ways (harmless).
If you have an aquarium at home, you should consider how to protect it. Possible options:
- the container is moved as far as possible from the room being treated;
- The aquarium can be left, but it is covered with glass; it is important that it fits tightly around the entire perimeter of the frame; in addition, the oxygen supply (compressor) is turned off.
If possible, plants are also removed, but cypermethrin is considered not a phytotoxic agent, and therefore theoretically cannot cause harm to plantings. But animals and children should not be on the premises when using Tsifox bedbug repellent.
Before using the product, you need to clean the apartment
The resulting solution should be used to rinse the floors thoroughly.
How to prepare an apartment for processing
We will vacuum and do wet cleaning. Cleaning will help you partially destroy individual crawling individuals, locate nests and assess the degree of charge in the apartment.
- We move all the furniture to the center of the room
- Freeing windows from curtains and drapes
- Freeing walls from carpets and paintings
- We remove the bed linen and send it to the wash
- We turn over the mattress, sofa cushions, etc.
- We put food, cosmetics and personal care products in thick plastic bags
- We put clothes in closets, but only if treatment inside the closets is not needed
- We take out or tightly cover the fish and all indoor plants.
- We remove people and pets
Advantages and disadvantages of the drug
Positive traits:
- no pungent odor, but the room after treatment still needs to be ventilated to reduce the concentration of volatile substances in the air;
- high efficiency;
- ease of processing;
- protection of the object from re-infection, since cypermethrin retains its properties for 2-4 weeks, during which time the next generation of insects will appear and immediately receive a dose of poison;
- it is possible to destroy all insects at home;
- application inside and outside the facility;
- uniform distribution of the working solution over surfaces, if a spray bottle or a special sprayer is used.
The product also has disadvantages:
- Over time, bedbugs develop resistance, previously it was believed that cypermethrin does not contribute to the addiction of insects to the poison, but this opinion took place in 2003, since then a lot has changed, the body of parasites has learned to adapt to new conditions, it has already been verified that the drug is less effective effective with frequent use;
- Does not affect bedbug eggs.
Nikolay, 38 years old, Ufa
Using Tsifoks for bedbugs (I chose it based on reviews) did not give me anything. But these parasites are an old problem for me. I’ve been living with them for several years now, periodically reducing the population, but I can’t completely remove them, there are too many places where they hide.
Irina, 29 years old, Omsk
I used to use powders, but recently I decided to buy Cifox. So far I like everything: I treated the apartment, there were more bedbugs at first, but then they disappeared.
Surface treatment with solution
Review from a man who used the product:
We have had bedbugs in our house for a very long time. I am very afraid of products that contain toxins, but there was nowhere to go. The degree of contamination of the premises was already quite high. I decided that trying to get rid of bedbugs using folk remedies would simply be a waste of time. Then I started browsing the Internet in search of the necessary information. Tsifoks was highly praised on the forums. I decided to try this remedy. After the first treatment, there were already quite a few bedbugs. I'll re-process it tomorrow and see what happens.

Safety measures and first aid for Cifox poisoning
Tsifoks is a liquid drug. It is used in different ways: applied with a sponge to surfaces or sprayed. When working with the product in the first case, it is enough to wear gloves. If you plan to spray the substance, you should protect your respiratory tract with a respirator, wear goggles and gloves. Clothes must be closed and a headscarf must be worn. After completing the procedure, it is enough to wash the things, because... the insecticide is destroyed in an alkaline environment (soap solution).
If the drug gets on the skin, it will not penetrate the blood, which means it will not cause significant harm. However, this rule applies if the outer coverings are not damaged. Otherwise, the insecticide may penetrate the soft tissue. To prevent the development of complications, it is recommended to wash the affected areas with soap and water. Moreover, it is advisable to wash your face with soap after finishing work, and also rinse your mouth with clean water, rinse your eyes and nasal passages.
If possible, you should take a shower.
However, such actions will not produce results if the toxic substance enters the respiratory tract. In this case, the poison immediately enters the bloodstream, spreads throughout the body, and affects the nervous system. You should go to the emergency room or call an ambulance if the patient has already developed negative symptoms. In this case, the symptoms are relieved by installing an IV.
To avoid undesirable consequences, treatment should be done in a protective suit.
Use of Tsifoks against ticks
Before treating the area against ticks, it is necessary to prepare the area:
- put the area in order: remove last year’s leaves, dry branches, etc.;
- mow all overgrown grass;
- Containers with water must be tightly closed;
- remove children's toys and garden tools;
- remove or cover lawn chairs, tables and other furniture.
When starting pest control, you need to remember some important rules:
- Treat the area twice during the spring-summer period: before the start of garden work (April-May), again in mid-autumn after the end of the season and before frost (October-November).
- Study the weather forecast. The ideal time for disinfestation is dry, windless days. There should be no rain for 3 days before and after the event. Processing should be carried out during calm periods. Rain and wind will neutralize or significantly reduce the effect of the insecticide.
- Notify your neighbors of your intentions. Processing carried out together will enhance the result.
- Do not under any circumstances cultivate the area before harvesting.
For a month after spraying Cifox, vegetables, fruits and other food products from the treated area should not be eaten to avoid poisoning. It is optimal to wait 40 days after treatment. The toxins contained in the drug Cifox must undergo a breakdown process so as not to cause harm - While spraying the drug, do not allow children, pets, women while expecting a baby, and nursing mothers away from the area.
- Protect yourself from unnecessary exposure by wearing insecticide-treated long sleeves, shoes, safety glasses and a respirator.
- After completing work, take a hygienic shower, wash used clothes, clean or wash shoes.
Clothes and shoes must be washed and washed to avoid unnecessary contact with toxic substances of the drug - All family members can go to the site after 3 days.
Instructions for treating the area:
Wear protective clothing. Prepare an emulsion solution and a spray bottle. Start processing from distant areas. Spray the product evenly, moving around the perimeter
Pay special attention to garden paths and areas with dense vegetation. Do not cultivate land intended for planting vegetables, berries, fruit crops, sandbox, playground, apiary
Apply the product to bushes and trees no higher than 0.5 meters from the ground. There are no ticks above. Repeated disinsection is allowed after 1–1.5 months
The exact time depends on the intensity of precipitation and the presence of parasites on the site, but not earlier than 2 weeks after the last treatment. The amount of the finished solution depends on the density of vegetation and the number of parasites localized in the area
Repeated disinsection is allowed after 1–1.5 months. The exact time depends on the intensity of precipitation and the presence of parasites on the site, but not earlier than 2 weeks after the last treatment. The amount of the finished solution depends on the density of vegetation and the number of parasites localized in the area.
Approximate consumption rate of acaricidal liquid:
- with a low number of ixodid ticks and a small amount of grass cover - 0.25 l/ha;
- with an average and significant number of individuals and dense vegetation - 0.75 l/ha, sparse cover - 0.5 l/ha;
- if mites of the genus Dermacentor and Haemaphysalis are detected or likely to be present - 1.25 l/ha.
Treatment of clothing and equipment with Tsifoks for protection against ticks
Tsifoks can be used as an acaricidal agent for disinsection of clothing. To do this, you first need to prepare the correct solution:
- the amount of active substance in the finished suspension should be 0.125%;
- approximate spray rate - 40 ml/m2;
- One set of an adult should require approximately 160–200 ml of solution.
It is very important to dry the treated items to prevent contact of the insecticide with the skin: this will cause irritation and allergies. Rules for processing clothing:
- Spray the drug outdoors. As a last resort, it is possible indoors, but in this case it is necessary to ensure high-quality ventilation.
- Wear safety glasses and a mask.
- Prepare the solution.
- Unfolded clothing and equipment should be laid out or hung up.
- Apply the drug at a distance of 20–25 cm from clothing with an outstretched hand.
- Spray the product in the direction of the wind.
- Treat items until lightly dampened.
- After disinfestation, clothes need to be dried. Do not apply to skin.
- Store treated clothing in a tightly closed bag.

Security measures
Efficacy of Tsifox
Cypermethrin is a broad-spectrum insecticidal and acaricidal drug. Kills all insects upon contact. On soil, grass, and cultivated plants, it retains its properties for about 60 days. Before using mosquito poison, you need to weigh all the pros and cons.
Indoors, cypermethrin quickly settles on the surfaces being treated. It remains to work for about a week. The maximum concentration is observed during the first 2 hours after disinfestation. In people with respiratory tract disease, the drug can provoke a deterioration in well-being and attacks of suffocation. If the insecticide enters the lungs, it causes poisoning with dizziness, weakness, headache, nausea, and vomiting. At the first signs of poisoning, it is necessary to provide access to fresh air, drink activated carbon, and rinse your mouth with a soda solution.
Customers regularly leave reviews about Tsifoks on forums. The product is especially popular in the warm season.
Customer reviews about the effectiveness of the product
Alisa, 32 years old, Sochi
I prefer odorless products, but these are difficult to find at a reasonable price. Tsifoks suited me. It has almost no smell, and is also an effective drug. Consumption is low, resulting in low processing costs.
Elena, 31 years old, Kazan
At first it was difficult to understand how to dilute Tsifox for bedbugs, but otherwise I liked the properties of the product: odorless, not too toxic. Just for household use.
Victor, 35 years old, Omsk
It’s a pity that the effect of Tsifoks ended quickly (after about 3 weeks), but otherwise I can’t complain: I destroyed the parasites, and none of my family members were poisoned.
Inga, 42 years old, Novomoskovsk
When choosing, I relied on customer reviews. I think I guessed correctly. Tsifoks works great, performs all functions. I also apply it in some places for prevention, and it is not necessary to dilute it, because spot treatment is enough.
Svetlana, 33 years old, Kirov
I was unable to clear my apartment of bedbugs. Despite its effectiveness, Tsifoks did not help. We had to invite exterminators, they said that the preparation of the premises was poorly done. This immediately reduces the efficiency by half.
If you often use the same bedbug preparation, the pests may become resistant to the poison.
Processing rules
To better destroy bloodsuckers, treatment of a summer cottage against mosquitoes is carried out after preliminary preparation: mowing down unnecessary plants along the perimeter of the area near fences, as well as around ponds. This reduces the number of hiding places for adult mosquitoes.
After preparation, the surfaces of the walls of all buildings, bushes, trees and grass are treated with the Tsifox solution. To destroy the larvae, spray the surface of reservoirs with standing water.
Important!
Fish ponds, water sources for irrigation and drinking, swimming places, and running water should not be treated.

Ask a Question
• Tsifox should be used once, the next treatment should be with another drug, this will help reduce the already low risk of developing resistance in insects, then the product can be used indefinitely; • after finishing the treatment procedure, you need to leave the room in a “preserved” state: windows and doors are hermetically sealed so that volatile substances get not only onto the outer coverings of insects, but also into the respiratory tract; • clean the room as late as possible - preferably after 2 weeks, when young bedbugs appear, they will also die.

What to do after treatment for bed bugs
After disinfestation, you should leave the apartment for 12 hours, leaving the windows open. Upon returning, you need to put on a protective suit, gloves and a respirator, tuck your hair under a scarf and start cleaning. The question of how to wash off the poison from Cifox bedbugs worries users more than the treatment process itself. Because the owners usually have to clean their apartment themselves.
Surfaces are cleaned using a regular solution that can be easily prepared at home. You need to pour warm water into a bucket, add a couple of tablespoons of laundry soap shavings and 2 tbsp. soda Wipe all surfaces thoroughly, then go over them again with clean water.
First aid to the victim
The first step is to take the poisoned person out into the fresh air. Make a two percent solution of baking soda to rinse your nose and mouth. Force you to take activated carbon (1 tablet per 10 kg of person’s weight) or another absorbent.
Albucid is instilled to protect the eyes. The exposed surface of the skin on which the drug has come into contact is washed with soap and water.
The Cifox product has many positive reviews and is used not only to get rid of bedbugs. It helps get rid of ants, ticks, cockroaches, wasps, fleas and other insects.
If you adhere to all of the above recommendations and precautions, the disinfestation of the apartment will be carried out efficiently and safely for the health of both the person carrying out such a procedure and the rest of the family members.
Tsifox is a potent anti-cockroach drug that destroys pests quickly and efficiently
. Insects that live in the house cause a lot of trouble and trouble. They can carry various diseases, pollute the environment and even bite. The fight against cockroaches has been going on for a long time, but they still continue to live and reproduce.
The cockroach repellent Tsifox contains cypermethrin concentrate. This is a very strong poisonous substance. In addition, the insecticide contains a solvent, fragrance and emulsifier. In its composition and consistency it is an emulsion.
Tsifoks is a liquid with a yellowish transparent tint and a pungent strong odor. Sold in polymer bottles. It can be produced in different volumes - from 50 ml to 1 l. The drug in small doses is recommended for treating apartments, and large volumes are intended for disinsection of public places, such as children's and medical institutions, shops, and vehicles.
Due to the fact that the concentration of the insecticidal agent is very high, it must be diluted with water before treatment. In order to destroy cockroaches in a 2-room apartment, the minimum amount of product is enough - 50 ml.
The substance begins to act approximately 30 minutes after treatment. Toxic substances remain active for 3 months. This applies to a closed space, such as an apartment. If the treatment was carried out in open space, the effect lasts 6 weeks, and in water it is reduced to a month.
The product can eliminate cockroaches in one treatment, but if the room is heavily infested, repeated treatment may be required.
The drug is sold in specialized or hardware stores, as well as on Internet sites.
The insecticidal product is accompanied by detailed instructions for use, which describe how to dilute the drug, its composition and precautions.
