Parasites cause a lot of inconvenience to both animals and their owners. Often, in order to rid your pet of fleas and completely free the room from them, you have to make a lot of effort. The use of a quality insecticide greatly helps to facilitate this process. Many people choose the drug “Deltsid” for this purpose. The instructions provide all the necessary information in order to use this insecticide correctly and destroy parasites without harming yourself or your pet. It is important to read these recommendations carefully. In what cases is Deltsid effective? How should the working solution be prepared? How to properly treat a room? How to use the product for animals? How long does the finished emulsion retain its beneficial properties? You can get answers to all these questions by reading this article.
Compound
The main active ingredient of the drug "Deltsid" in ampoules is the special insecticide deltamethrin (namely its four percent solution). In order to enhance the effectiveness of the main component, a number of auxiliary components are used. The solution is a brown liquid with an oily consistency.
“Delcid” is packaged in ampoules of one and a half and two milliliters, as well as in durable bottles made of metal, three, five and twenty milliliters each, respectively.
The drug remains effective for two years from the date of its release. The beneficial properties of the prepared working solution are retained for no more than forty-eight hours. It is recommended to use the prepared emulsion immediately after preparation. After two days, the insecticide becomes useless.
Composition and description of the drug
Delcid is an oily substance of light brown, almost yellow color with a subtle specific odor. To prepare the working solution, the emulsion is diluted with water, the finished liquid becomes white. The composition is represented by the following components:
- deltamethrin;
- neonol;
- nefras;
- twin.
The active component is the synthetic pyrethroid deltamethrin, which has a contact and intestinal effect on parasites. It blocks the transmission of neural impulses, which causes paralysis in the insect and its subsequent death.
The product is packaged in glass or polymer ampoules placed in cardboard packaging. To treat a living space against fleas, a few ampoules are enough. For breeders and livestock breeders, the emulsion is available in cans or bottles.

Review
I purchased Delcid in ampoules for my dog. The product is inexpensive, I paid 180 rubles for a pack. I diluted the emulsion according to the instructions. After processing the dog, there is still a lot of solution left. I used it to treat the room where the dog spent most of its time. The fleas disappeared both from the animal and from the apartment.

- using flea deltsid in an apartment is simple and convenient;
- the product is effective against both flying and crawling insects;
- the price of 5 ampoules ranges from 160-200 rubles;
- the drug does not have a pronounced odor;
- It is used to treat premises and animals, therefore, to get rid of fleas, it is enough to purchase just one product.
Flaws:

Action
How does Deltsid work against fleas? It effectively blocks nerve impulses in the parasite's body. This provokes his paralysis and, as a result, death.
Experts classify this insecticide as a third class of hazard in terms of toxicity. However, proper use of the product, as well as strict adherence to recommended dosages, guarantees the absence of allergic reactions (including any irritating effects on the skin) in warm-blooded creatures (pets and people). At the same time, “Deltsid” is dangerous (the instructions pay special attention to this) for bees and fish. This should be taken into account when using the product.
The instructions recommend using “Deltsid” for cats and dogs to get rid of fleas twice a month. As a preventive measure, it is enough to do this once every thirty days.
How to treat a room with Deltsid
For small spaces, it is often enough to dilute an ampoule of the product with water. It is better to purchase Delcid for fleas in a large apartment or in a house in a bottle with a large volume of contents.
The drug in an opened bottle remains effective for up to 6 months if stored correctly. The product should be out of reach of children and kept away from sunlight and out of contact with food.
After diluting with water and stirring for 20 minutes, a white emulsion is obtained. The solution is placed in a spray bottle or container with a sprayer and used when treating the room. The best results in the fight against parasites can be achieved by knowing how to treat an apartment against fleas with Deltsid:
- Before disinfestation, clean up - vacuum, wash all surfaces.
- After treatment, Deltsid is not washed off for 2 weeks.
- Furniture is moved away from the walls before spraying, since baseboards, corners of the room, and cracks along the walls need careful treatment.
- The diluted product should be sprayed at a distance of 20 cm from the surface.
- It is recommended to protect your mouth or nose with a mask or respirator; the spray bottle should be held at arm's length; it is better to wear rubber gloves and a protective suit. After cleaning the apartment, hands should be washed thoroughly with soap and clothing should be changed.
- When processing, special attention is paid to the place where the pet sleeps. Treatment of the animal is carried out simultaneously with disinfestation of the premises using a deltsid solution or other drugs to combat fleas.
- When treating surfaces, it should be taken into account that fleas can jump to a height of up to 1.5 meters.
- During disinsection and for an hour after it, the windows and doors of the premises are left closed. Then ventilate for at least 2 hours. Owners and pets are advised to leave the premises for a while after treatment.
Immediately after the procedure, wet cleaning is carried out only on those surfaces that can be touched by hands. It is often enough to apply Deltsid against fleas once in an apartment - user reviews confirm the high effectiveness of the drug. If there are a large number of insects, repeated treatment may be necessary after 2 weeks.
“Deltsid” is used for treating premises, sheds, and pens. Processing in the presence of animals and poultry is allowed. It is used to treat surfaces against all flying and crawling arthropods, including the red chicken mite, down-eaters, argas and cat mites, bedbugs, cockroaches, flies and other insects. Treatment is carried out by aerosol or fine-droplet spraying with 0.125% aqueous emulsion.
Disinsection and decontamination of poultry premises against bedbugs, argas, chicken mites and cockroaches is carried out in the absence of poultry during a technological break, using 0.125% aqueous emulsion “Delcid” by aerosol method. Spray walls, ceilings, support pillars, and manure trenches under cage batteries. Before processing, eggs are collected.
1 hour after treatment, the room is ventilated for at least 1 hour, dead ectoparasites are swept away and disposed of, feeders and drinkers are thoroughly washed, and then the birds are placed in the room.
It is allowed to treat premises in the presence of birds, without violating the technological regime. In this case, no more than 2/3 of the total area of the premises is sprayed. The treatment is carried out with running ventilation or open doors; the birds and equipment are not processed. Supply ventilation is turned off for the treatment period (30–40 minutes). Service personnel are allowed into the premises no earlier than 30 minutes after treatment.
Parasites | Porous surface | Smooth surface |
Crawling insects Consumption of working emulsion per 100 m2 of surface | 37.5 ml/10 l water 10 l emulsion | 37.5 ml/10 l water 5 l emulsion |
Flying insects Consumption of working emulsion per 100 m2 of surface | 19 ml/10 l water 10 l emulsion | 19 ml/10 l water 5 l emulsion |
Poultry premises are treated twice, taking into account the development cycle of parasites, at an air temperature in the poultry house of 15–20°C - with an interval of 10–20 days, at temperatures above 20°C - with an interval of 5–8 days.

Against zoophilous flies, disinsection of livestock buildings, feed kitchens, artificial insemination points and other objects of veterinary supervision is used with 0.125% water emulsion “Deltsid” by selective spraying of insect planting sites (windows, walls, doors, support beams, etc.) with a consumption rate of 80 –100 ml/m2 of treated surface.
Before disinfestation, the remaining feed, water, and dairy equipment are first removed from the premises, and milking equipment is covered with plastic wrap. 1–1.5 hours after treatment, the room is ventilated for at least 1 hour, dead flies are swept away and disposed of, feeders and drinking bowls are thoroughly washed, and then the animals are placed in the room.
Before mass processing, each batch of the drug is first tested on a small group of animals (7–10 animals) of varying fatness. If there are no complications in the animals within 48 hours, treatment of the entire livestock begins.
Indications for use
There are several situations in which Deltsid is used. Reviews confirm its unconditional effectiveness in all these cases. Thus, among the indications for use are: the need to treat dogs or cats in the presence of arachnoenthomosis (this diagnosis includes demodex, lice, fleas, flies and horseflies, wildebeest, scabies and ixodid mites, as well as hairworms); the need to treat the premises in which animals live from a number of insects (namely cockroaches, fleas, ticks, ants, flies and bedbugs).
Spray treatment
Preparation of the emulsion: dilute a measured amount of “Delcid” in several liters of water, pour the resulting solution into the reservoir of the spraying device, add the required amount of water, mix thoroughly. The sequence of spraying the animal is: ears, head, body, tail, area around the anus, limbs.
Spraying is carried out using horizontal universal spray booms (SHGRU) installed at the gates of summer paddocks or other spraying devices that provide fine-droplet spraying.
The time of treatment is determined depending on the dominant components of midges and meteorological conditions: with a high number of horse flies and midges, animals are treated after morning milking, and with a high number of mosquitoes and midges - after evening milking once a day. With moderate numbers of midges, treatments are carried out every 2–3 day, and when attacked only by pasture flies - every 7-10 days. Animals are not treated in rainy and cold weather.
Dairy cows in the regimes recommended for protection from midges and pasture flies are allowed to be treated with Deltsid no later than 7 hours before the next milking.

Flies, fleas, lice eaters, horseflies, midges | 0.001 for medium volume spraying; 0.005 for low-volume spraying |
Preparation of working solution
The main question that arises when using the drug "Deltsid" is: "How to dilute the emulsion?" To do this, use water at room temperature. For every square meter of room area, you will need from twenty-five to fifty milliliters of ready-made working solution. In order to treat an apartment of one hundred square meters, you will need five liters of ready-made emulsion. It is important to open the ampoule immediately before starting the preparation process, dilute its contents in water and stir thoroughly for twenty minutes. After this, the prepared solution can be poured into a spray bottle.
Special instructions and precautions
When working with Deltsid, you must follow a number of rules:
- Do not drink, smoke or eat while preparing and using the solution.
- When contacting the drug, you must use personal protective equipment (mask, gloves, overalls, hat, rubber boots, respirator).
- You cannot work with the emulsion for more than 6 hours a day.
- After using the solution, protective equipment should be removed, the face and hands should be washed with soap, and the mouth should be rinsed with running water.
- If the emulsion or its solution gets on the skin, the contaminated area should be immediately washed with water or a soda solution.
- Before work, you need to make sure that there is a first aid kit nearby.
- If Delcid gets inside, you need to take up to 10 tablets of activated carbon and wash them down with warm water.
- If after contact with the drug a person feels dizzy or other symptoms of poisoning, they should immediately go to the hospital.
The dishes in which the emulsion was dissolved cannot simply be thrown into the trash. It needs to be filled with a solution of soda ash (3–5%) and left for 5–6 hours. After this, the soda solution should be poured out and the container should be rinsed under running water.
My son has respiratory allergy. Simply put, he begins to choke when the smells of ethyl alcohol, bleach, chloramine, etc. are in the air. To avoid unpleasant consequences, I use chemicals only in his absence. Friends who used Deltsid also sent their children for a walk until the smell disappeared completely.
Respirators of the F-62 (ShM), Astra-2, and Lepestok-40 brands are suitable for working with Deltsid. "Petal-5", etc.
Rules for treating premises with the drug
Many people use Deltsid in ampoules to treat apartments. Reviews confirm the effectiveness of this method.
It is important to carry out disinfestation in a clean room. Therefore, initially it is necessary to do the cleaning (vacuum and thoroughly wash the floor). All furniture that is adjacent to the walls should be moved away so that areas on it can be treated. Only after this can you proceed to the disinfestation process.
The sprayer must be kept at a distance of twenty centimeters from the surface that is being treated. It is important to pay attention to all surfaces at a height of one and a half meters from the floor. The animal's sleeping area should be treated especially carefully, as this is where the most parasites are located. You cannot ignore baseboards, cracks in the floor and walls.
Since the product in question is toxic, attention must be paid to personal protective equipment. It is important to carry out the procedure in a respirator, gloves and a specialized suit that would protect the skin from the effects of the insecticide. After disinfestation, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and go out into the fresh air, having previously locked all windows and doors in the room. It should remain closed for an hour. After its expiration, it is necessary to ventilate the room for about two hours. Provided that all recommendations are followed, “Deltsid” in ampoules for treating apartments is called one of the most effective insecticides by reviews.
Delcid for farm animals, 2 ml ampoule
Delcid is a great way to get rid of parasites that are bred on animals. This medicine is sold in the form of a concentrate. Before use, the emulsion must be diluted with water. In this case, you must act strictly according to the instructions, which will allow you to achieve the desired results. Delcid has a wide range of applications. It is used not only for external treatment of animals, but also for disinfestation of agricultural premises.
The appearance of the drug resembles an oily transparent liquid of a yellowish tint. When it is mixed with water, it produces an aqueous solution that takes on a distinct white color.
Composition and action of the product
The drug consists of the pyrethroid deltamethrin, which is the main active ingredient. There are also some excipients. Delcid contains nefras, twin, neonol. Since this product has a contact effect, fleas and other parasites only need to touch it. It effectively fights various parasites living on the surface of the body and external organs of animals. The main substance of the drug blocks the neuromuscular system of parasites. This leads to their paralysis and death.
When used correctly, Delcid is not capable of causing harm to humans or animals. It can even be used in a residential area. However, this drug is toxic for fish. If your home has an aquarium, its inhabitants must be reliably protected.
Instructions for use Delcid 2 ml
Depending on the type of animal, the most suitable processing method is selected. For example, so-called swimming holes are used for sheep and other livestock. Pets can be treated by spraying.
Before applying the drug, the animal's fur should be moistened. There is no need to rinse off the product after treatment, it just needs to dry. If this procedure is carried out indoors, it must be thoroughly ventilated. It is recommended to start spraying the animal from the head: ears, head, body, tail, limbs. In this case, it is necessary to carefully ensure that the drug does not get into the eyes, mouth and nose of the animal. Maximum effectiveness can only be achieved if you use a freshly prepared composition.
After processing:
- wash your hands;
- ventilate the room;
- do not wash off the drug;
- exclude contact with other animals and children;
- let the wool dry;
- treat the rug and the animal's sleeping place.
How to dilute Delcid 2 ml
One dose is considered to be 2 ml of the drug. Depending on what the animal is infected with, the drug is diluted with water in different proportions.
- From scabies mites. One dose is diluted with 1.6 liters of water. For prevention, a one-time treatment is sufficient. For medicinal purposes, treatment should be carried out twice. The interval between them should be 10-15 days.
- From ixodid ticks. To dilute one dose, you need to use 2.2 liters of water. As a rule, treatment is carried out twice, during the season of increased tick activity. There should be 7-10 days between treatments.
- From fleas, flies, midges, horseflies, hairworms, lice. One dose is diluted in 6.4 liters of water. For prevention, a one-time spraying is sufficient. Therapeutic treatment is carried out at intervals of 7-10 days.
How to treat animals
As a rule, the type of animal determines the method of treatment with this drug. It is actively used by both large farmers and people who handle household pets and pets.
Chicken processing. Like all animals, chickens are also susceptible to parasites. These can be not only insects that live and reproduce exclusively on birds, but also the most common fleas. The fight against them involves processing the poultry. To do this, you can use a garden sprayer or spray bottle. In this case, the plumage is wetted abundantly and evenly.
Treating dogs with Deltsid is carried out in one of two ways: bathing and spraying. If spraying is used, treatment should begin from the head. Then the torso, tail, anus and paws. Here you need to pay attention to the places where parasites usually hide: under the tail, on the neck and behind the ears. For bathing, you should choose a comfortable bath where the dog can stand freely with four paws.
Treatment of cats. Since almost all cats are terrified of bathing, spraying is a more acceptable option for them. To combat fleas, one ampoule of the drug is mixed with six liters of water. During treatment, it may be necessary to re-treat. It must be carried out in seven days. Securely protect your pet's head so that the product does not get on the mucous membrane.
Until the fur is completely dry, contact with other animals and children must be avoided. If there are several dogs and cats in the house, everyone needs to be treated. Don't forget about the bedding on which animals sleep. They also need to be treated with this preparation and then allowed to dry.
After treatment, the behavior of animals may change. The appearance of trembling, apathy, and salivation cannot be ruled out. Sometimes appetite disappears. These are not side symptoms at all, but only the animal’s reaction to this drug. All this takes place within three days. At this time, it is recommended to drink plenty of fluids, rest and comfort.
Efficacy of the drug
As practice shows, Deltsid is quite effective. It is capable of killing parasites almost instantly. In addition, it has a long residual effect. Therefore, proper treatment of animals and their sleeping places allows you to get rid of parasites for a long time. Long gone are the days when complex and hazardous drugs were used. Today Deltsid is one of the most modern means that does not threaten the health of animals and people.
To achieve maximum effectiveness of the drug, you must follow the instructions. If the animal is not infected, it is worth thinking about the future, using Delcid as a prophylactic agent. This will regularly protect the animal from parasites.
Reviews of Delcid 2 ml
In most cases, Deltsid receives positive reviews. This modern drug has already pleased many pet owners with its effectiveness. It is also actively used on farms with large numbers of livestock. However, the effectiveness of this product is not its only advantage. Unlike other outdated drugs, Delcid has an almost immediate effect on parasites, allowing you to get rid of them quickly enough. In addition, many note its convenient use, which is also an important advantage. The advantages also include rapid odor dissipation and a long-lasting effect.
However, not all consumers leave exclusively positive reviews. Some people don’t like the smell of the sprayed drug. There are also situations when, after treatment, animals experience side effects, or the parasites cannot be completely eradicated. Although the reason for this ineffectiveness is obvious - the drug was diluted and used incorrectly.
Animal processing
You can use “Deltsid” for cats and dogs either by spraying the animal or by bathing it. The concentration of the solution (0.125%) must be strictly observed. The most convenient option is to use a ready-made working solution in ampoules. In this case, you will need five to ten milliliters of product for every kilogram of the animal’s body weight. It is necessary to spray your pet against the grain. It is important to treat the entire body, carefully avoiding the eye, nose and mouth areas. For the next two hours, the pet should not be petted or allowed near children or other animals. You will be able to bathe your pet only two days after treatment.
When and how to use
The drug is intended to combat ectoparasites on domestic animals. It can also be used to disinfect premises. Thanks to this, Deltsid helps destroy fleas and ticks on cats and dogs, as well as prevent re-infection.
Animal handling
According to the instructions for use, Delcid for dogs and cats can be used as a bathing solution or for spraying. Before use, the antiparasitic agent is diluted in cool water. For these purposes, you can use regular tap water.
If spraying is planned, then one ampoule is diluted in 1.6 liters of water. Make sure to purchase a small hand sprayer first. When processing cats and dogs, follow several rules:
- The treatment begins with the head, then the back and stomach are sprayed, and finally the area near the anus and paws.
- Particular attention should be paid to the ears, folds and other hard-to-reach places where external parasites like to hide.
- If your pet has long hair, it should be lifted with your hands while spraying so that the prepared emulsion penetrates the skin.
- When spraying, cover the animal's eyes, nose and mouth so that the solution does not get on the mucous membranes.
- The amount of diluted emulsion depends on the weight of the animal. For every kilogram you will need 5-10 ml of solution, depending on the degree of insect infestation.
- When processing, pay attention to places where insects accumulate or where mites have embedded themselves.
If you decide to bathe an animal, then make a less concentrated solution (1 ampoule per 6 liters of water) so that the medicine does not cause toxic poisoning.
If Deltsid is used for prophylactic purposes, the treatment is carried out once. It is wise to use the drug only in cases where there is a threat of infection, for example, when staying at the dacha in the summer. If fleas, ticks or other ectoparasites are found in a cat or dog, then treatment is carried out 2-3 times with an interval of 7-10 days, until the absence of parasites is confirmed by clinical examination of scrapings.
Note! 2-3 days before treatment and 3 days after using the drug, the animal should not be bathed. During this period, you should also stop using shampoos.
Premises treatment
When treating premises, one ampoule of Delcid is diluted in 1-1.5 liters of water. Next, perform the work in the following sequence:
- The room needs to be vacuumed thoroughly, paying special attention to places behind cabinets, armchairs and sofas, as well as other hard-to-reach places.
- Spray the prepared emulsion indoors. Be sure to treat baseboards and other “secluded” places where parasites like to live.
- It is advisable to wash the floor with the solution or spray it generously.
- After treatment, close the room completely for 30-40 minutes.
- Then the room needs to be well ventilated, but there is no need to wash the floors with clean water. If surfaces that you come into contact with, such as tables, have been treated, they should be wiped with a damp cloth.
If there are a lot of insects in the house, the procedure should be repeated after 7-10 days, since the drug only affects sexually mature individuals. If fleas or lice are found on an animal, the room must be treated. The litter must be carefully treated or completely replaced.
Effect on animals
When Delcid is used on dogs or cats, it may affect their behavior. Changes may include the appearance of apathy, trembling, increased salivation and temporary loss of appetite. All these symptoms, as a rule, disappear within three days after treatment with an insecticide. What can a pet owner do? Give him more clean drinking water and ensure comfort and peace. If symptoms persist or an allergy occurs, you should take your pet to an experienced veterinarian.
Mode of application
No people or animals should be in the room during processing. Before using Deltsid, it is necessary to carry out general cleaning: vacuum thoroughly, even in the most inaccessible places, and wash the floors. Processing rules:
Pour the working solution into a spray bottle.
Spray the surface at a distance of at least 20 cm. For convenience, you can straighten your arm to its full length. Fleas can jump to a height of no higher than 1.5 m
In this regard, when spraying walls, it does not make sense to treat above the specified height. Closer attention should be paid to the pet's sleeping area, baseboards, cracks, the wall behind furniture and other hard-to-reach places.
Efficiency depends on strict adherence to instructions
Despite the low toxicity, precautions should be taken when using the drug. Be sure to wear gloves, a protective suit and a respirator
If it comes into contact with the skin, Deltsid can cause irritation, and if inhaled for a long time, it can cause an allergic reaction. After finishing the treatment, you should wash your hands thoroughly with soap and immediately go out into the fresh air. It is not recommended to ventilate the room for the first hour after spraying the drug. After the specified time has passed, the windows should be opened for 2 hours.
Simultaneously with spraying the apartment, animals that carry fleas should also be treated. The entire surface of the animal’s body is sprayed with the working solution against the growth of the hair. Do not allow the solution to get into your pet’s eyes, ears, nose, or mouth. Wait 2 hours for the wool to dry. At this time, do not let the animal near children or other animals, do not pet it. You can bathe the animal only 2 days after applying the product. Experts advise carrying out the procedure once a month.
After using Delcid, the pet's behavior may change slightly: apathy appears, appetite disappears, trembling appears and salivation increases. These symptoms should resolve on their own within 3 days. During this period, you should give the animal more water: liquid removes toxins from the body faster. If after 3 days the symptoms have not gone away, you should immediately show the animal to a veterinarian. It is possible that he had an allergic reaction.
Efficacy of the drug
Reviews about the Deltsid product report that it successfully copes with adult fleas during the first treatment of the room with an insecticide. As soon as the parasites come into contact with the surface treated with the substance, paralysis occurs. Fleas die en masse in the first hour. Insect larvae will be destroyed only if the room has been treated thoroughly enough. But parasite eggs can survive, because they are protected by a special shell. Therefore, it is recommended to re-treat after two weeks in order to destroy those fleas that emerge from the eggs during this time.
Instructions for use of Delcid
The manufacturer's instructions indicate 2 methods of use - treating the cat and treating the room. Depending on the method, the methods of use and dosage of the drug differ.
Animal processing
The cat can be bathed (if it has long hair) or sprayed with Delcid solution (if it has short hair). In this case, bathing should be done in a bathtub, and sprinkling should be done with a spray bottle. In this case, you need to avoid getting the solution into the cat’s eyes, mouth and nose. If we are talking about ticks, then you need to treat not only the infected area, but also the area around it with a diameter of 1.5–2 cm. In any case, Deltsid must be dissolved immediately before use, and always in cold tap water. After this, you need to let the fur dry, and it is not recommended to bathe the cat for 3 days after treatment.
The emulsion will dissolve more evenly if it is first mixed with a small amount of water in a separate container, and the resulting solution is then poured into the main amount of water.
Table: dosage and application regimen
Type of parasites | Dosage | Application diagram | |
Treatment | Preventative | ||
Lice, lice, fleas | 2 ml per 1.6 l | 2–3 times (interval - up to 10 days) | 1 time |
Scabies mites | 1.25 ml per 1 l | 2 times (interval - up to 2 weeks) | Once every six months |
Ixodid ticks | Up to 1 ml per 1 l | 1 time |
It is recommended to treat a cat with Delcid solution under the supervision (supervision) of a veterinarian. You also need to remember about the character of the cat - not every animal will allow itself to be smeared or soaked with an incomprehensible solution with an unfamiliar smell.
My cat can calmly respond to bathing (every six months I bathe her with a special shampoo, so she is not afraid of smells). But she doesn’t trust sprays or any atomizers. As soon as you pick up a spray bottle, she runs away and hides. Each owner has his own “tricks” for calming pets. My older cat, for example, behaves calmer when she is “lisped.” She can easily endure having her nails trimmed, putting on a new collar, and even trying on overalls. But my sister’s cat calms down if you show him a treat (but don’t give it). He will sit quietly and endure in the hope that later he will be given a “yummy treat.”

Treating the premises with Deltsid
Before treating a room, it must first be prepared. Animal food and food must be removed, it is advisable to cover the dishes with waterproof film, etc. Delcid is diluted with water, and the resulting solution is sprayed or washed in the desired room. Some owners call this process “filling” the room (especially if there are a lot of fleas in it). After treating the room, you need to wait 1.5 hours and then ventilate the room. Vents, windows or doors must be open for at least 60 minutes. Insect corpses must be removed so that the cat cannot come into contact with them. The floor can be swept or vacuumed. The cat's dishes, combs and trays should be thoroughly washed, and the bedding should be washed. Only after this can the pet be allowed into the room.
The manufacturer recommends calculating the amount of the finished solution based on the quality of the surface. For 100 m2 of smooth walls and floors you will need 5 liters of emulsion, and to treat 100 m2 of rough surfaces - twice as much.
Table: preparing a solution for surface treatment
Insect species | Rough surface | Smooth surface |
Crawling | Up to 19 ampoules per bucket of water | Up to 2 ampoules per 1 liter of water |
Flying | Up to 10 ampoules per 1 liter of water | Up to 10 ampoules per 1 liter of water |
To treat the room with Deltsid solution, you can use a special sprayer.
Disposal
Under no circumstances should you pour any remaining Deltsid solution into the toilet. Reviews recommend treating the container in which the working solution was located with soda and soap solution. The remaining product must be completely neutralized with slaked lime and carefully buried in the ground to a depth of at least one meter.
The choice of a high-quality insecticide largely determines the effectiveness of the room treatment procedure. Therefore, you should approach the issue of choosing it with all seriousness. You should mostly focus on reviews from real consumers who had the opportunity to verify in practice the effectiveness of a particular product. This is exactly the case with the drug “Deltsid”. Customers describe it as an incredibly effective insecticide that has helped them completely get rid of insects that were bothering them. It is important to remember that the maximum effect can be achieved only if you strictly adhere to all recommendations regarding the preparation of the working emulsion, as well as the process of treating the animal or premises. Exactly following the instructions contained in the instructions will help to avoid the occurrence of any adverse reactions from the body to exposure to the substance in question.
It is necessary to treat the room as carefully as possible, without missing any surfaces or crevices. It would also be wise to spray the hard frame of upholstered furniture with the product. It is important to consider that during the first procedure insect eggs can be preserved, which at a certain stage of development have a durable shell that protects them from any, including chemical, external influence.
