Powder against bedbugs "Riapan" - instructions for use

How do bedbugs appear in the house?

Some people believe that bedbugs come from dirt and can only settle in a house that is not cleaned.

In reality this is not the case. Parasites live well and reproduce even in clean apartments.

They get into the house in the following ways:

1. Along with things. Bed bugs can end up in equipment, furniture, clothing, etc. In old things, insects are found more often, but they can penetrate into the upholstery and parts even at the factory or in the store if the production or storage processes are disrupted. Guests can bring bedbugs into the apartment on their clothes.
2. From the neighbors. If parasites have begun to poison other houses, some of the bedbugs may hide from the toxins in yours.
3. Together with people or animals. Not only friends or neighbors, but also family members can bring insects into the house if the parasite clings to their clothes outside the apartment. Bed bugs are often caused by pets. Parasites cling to their fur and thus enter the home.

Why are they dangerous?

At best, parasite bites cause discomfort; at worst, they cause allergies or cause the development of other diseases. Itching distracts a person, makes him irritable and nervous, and prevents him from concentrating on business. The result is stress, which causes changes in hormonal balance and other health problems.

Parasite bites can cause various diseases.

Some people suffer from bedbug allergies. Most often, this manifests itself in the form of a local reaction: redness, swelling, etc. Occasionally, more severe symptoms occur, for example, swelling of the mucous membranes of the throat or a sharp dilation of blood vessels with a subsequent decrease in blood pressure. This can cause a person's death.

Bed bugs can migrate quickly. During the journey, dirt and debris are left on their paws, which then end up in microscopic wounds on the human body.

Any contact with human blood carries a risk of infection.

Bedbugs carry the following diseases:

• tularemia;
• typhus;
• tuberculosis;
• yellow fever;
• hepatitis B;
• HIV;
• syphilis.

Efficiency of dusts against parasites

Dusts are effective, but may not help if the treatment was carried out incorrectly or preventive measures are not followed in the room. Even if dust is used correctly, insects can return if the room is cluttered. With repeated procedures, the products work less effectively, since surviving individuals acquire partial resistance and pass it on to their offspring.

Dusts are very effective against parasites.

DDT (dust) ... there are always a lot of questions on this topic: “What is dust?”, “Why was dust banned?” “Now you can buy dust,” “Is dust effective against bedbugs and cockroaches?” etc. We will understand the concepts and answer frequently asked questions.

Composition and properties

Dusts contain 1 or more types of insecticidal agents. It is advisable to use multicomponent preparations, since they are more effective against bedbugs that have become resistant to certain toxins. It is recommended to use dusts that contain organophosphates and pyrethroids.

Fragrances, talc, etc. are used as auxiliary ingredients. This is necessary to prevent caking, maintain texture and mask the unpleasant dust odor.

Synergists are often added to the composition - substances that increase the effectiveness of insecticides.

Advantages and disadvantages of using dust

Dust is a bedbug powder that contains poisonous components that can destroy parasites in a fairly short period.

Modern manufacturers produce various insecticides of this type, which have active components in high concentrations, so they are able to kill insects in a few seconds.

Powder or dust against bedbugs has the following advantages:

• preparations of this type often contain boric acid and pineronyl butoxide. The components extend the duration of the damaging effects of the insecticide.
• Dusts remain effective during sudden temperature changes, in heat and cold.
• The powder has a prolonged effect. Over time, it destroys the larvae and the older generation of parasites.
• Destroys bedbugs, has a detrimental effect on cockroaches, ants, fleas;
• A package weighing 50 grams is enough to treat an area of ​​10 square meters. meters.
• Low price. This is a budget type of insecticide that costs much less than other drugs.

But dust has disadvantages:

• In order for an insect to die, it must get its paws onto the powder, which is not always possible.
• Many dusts have an unpleasant odor that can remain for a long time after treatment.
• Powders are highly toxic and dangerous to people and pets. Before using them, you should wear protective clothing, a respirator and gloves.
• If there are a lot of parasites in the room, then the powder will not always be able to completely destroy them. It is advisable to use dust with other drugs;
• Has no effect on bedbug eggs.

Advantages and disadvantages of the drug

The advantages of dusts include:

1. Convenient to use. You can use the powder immediately after purchase; no complicated preparation is required. The instructions are simple, so you don't need to call an exterminator.
2. Economical. The cost of the powder is low, and 50 g is enough to process 10 square meters. m.
3. Long shelf life. Most dusts can be stored for up to 5 years if the recommendations are followed.
4. Relatively low level of toxicity when compared with other insecticides. The compounds are not released into the air. Most of the substances belong to the 4th hazard class. After the treatment you can stay in the apartment.
5. Wide spectrum of action. The products destroy not only bedbugs, but also fleas, ants and cockroaches.
6. Presence of residual effect. The dust continues to work for some time after the procedure, preventing re-infection.

Disadvantages are relatively low efficiency and delayed expiration.

Dust will not help with severe infection, only at the initial and intermediate stages.

General rules for using dusts against bedbugs

Before starting to bait bedbugs, the buyer should carefully read the instructions provided by the manufacturer. Although all types of dust preparations are used almost identically, sometimes there may be individual characteristics in the use of one or another product.

Attention! To achieve the greatest effect, the use of dust against bedbugs should be carried out strictly according to the instructions attached to it.

• Remove bed linen, bedspreads and pillows (they need to be washed in the hottest water possible, not lower than 50 degrees, dried and ironed on both sides).
• Remove small items.
• Take out food items. An exception may be products stored in a refrigerator with a tightly fitting door.
• Children and animals should not be allowed into the room during treatment and for another day after it.
• The person who will process the premises must wear personal protective equipment - hand gloves, a respirator, special glasses and outerwear.

• In hard-to-reach places, the powder can be poured directly from the bag.
• To treat accessible surfaces, a dry sponge is used, it is dipped into the powder and evenly distributes it over all surfaces in the room: baseboards, interior cabinet walls, window sills on all sides, ventilation grilles. Upholstered furniture must be carefully processed at the seams, on the back side of the products and, if possible, on the internal parts.
• The product is left for an average of 4-10 hours (see instructions), after which you can ventilate the room and carry out a damp general cleaning. Hard-to-reach places can not be washed, but left as a preventive means of repelling insects.

• After treating the room, the person who carried out this procedure needs to take a shower, wash his face, hair and hands well, and change clothes.
• Wash clothes in hot water, personal protective equipment, and throw away after use.
• Rags, sponges and napkins, after general cleaning, should also be recycled or simply thrown away.

Attention! The dust is completely harmless to bedbug larvae, so after the initial treatment of the room, secondary treatment will be required after 5-7 days. Failure to follow this recommendation will result in re-infection of the premises.

Having settled into a student dormitory at the beginning of the school year, my roommates and I were unpleasantly surprised. After a couple of days of living there, we all began to notice a rash on our bodies, accompanied by itching. It was impossible to attribute all this to allergies: we ate different foods and used different cosmetics, even our household chemicals were different. The sophomores from our dorm opened our eyes to the truth, the whole point is that we had bedbugs. We were shocked, I personally had never encountered such parasites, luckily I found information on the Internet on how to get rid of them, bought the first product I found on the market at an average price, and without really reading the instructions, quickly treated the room in front of the couples. My neighbors and I were at school all day, and in the evening we thoroughly and amicably carried out wet cleaning. We fell asleep tired, satisfied and happy. Our joy did not last long; after three or four weeks, the “uninvited guests” made themselves known again. I couldn’t understand what was going on, I went to the market to the seller and complained about such a strange effect of the product, it’s good that the nice woman explained to me my mistake. I didn’t read the instructions carefully, it turns out that the room had to be treated twice with a break of a week. We had to start all over again, but after the second treatment the bugs disappeared completely, now we periodically sprinkle dust behind the cabinets and baseboards so that these parasites do not creep in from our neighbors.

I went on a business trip to Ryazan and rented the cheapest accommodation for a couple of weeks. I was at work all day, I only came to the apartment to sleep, so the comfort of rented housing did not bother me much. On the third day I noticed strange small pimples that were very itchy, I got scared, went to the doctor, it turned out to be bedbug bites. Somehow I survived my business trip in this ill-fated apartment and happily returned home. A week later I discovered that I had brought bedbugs with me, which was a complete surprise. They tormented me so much while on a business trip that I couldn’t stand such a nightmare at home. I went to a hardware store and bought, on the advice of the seller, the “Clean House” product, applied it exactly according to the instructions, and was not too lazy to treat the entire apartment twice. I was pleased with the result, the bedbugs went away immediately and it’s been three months since I forgot about them. I can safely say that dust helps against bedbugs.

I once did an internship in a canteen; despite the fact that it was a public catering facility, our technologist carefully monitored the cleanliness of the production facility. When we had bedbugs in our locker room, the technologist very quickly scheduled a day for sanitizing the entire room. As an intern, I was immediately assigned to the most harmful job - treating the inside of the cabinets with some kind of powder. I was already anticipating how I would inhale toxic chemicals until I fainted and would be away from them for who knows how long. Imagine my surprise when, having put on a respirator and goggles, I did not feel any pungent odor. I calmly did all the work, slowly took off my protective equipment, and even after that I didn’t feel any stinging in my eyes or a nasty aroma. “Phenaxin,” as the drug was called, pleasantly surprised me. The next day we came for general cleaning, and after the weekend we went back to work, and there were no traces of bedbugs. I wrote down the name of the drug, I observed the effect with my own eyes, so I took note of it, and I was also struck by the fact that the powder has no odor. I live in a dorm and you never know, I’ll suddenly have to fight these parasites, so now I already know what and how.

Before treating bedbugs with dust, you should carefully study the instructions, follow all the manufacturer’s recommendations and do not neglect safety precautions. Only in this case will it be possible to get rid of parasites quickly and relatively easily. You can buy anti-bedbug dust at markets, hardware stores and specialty stores.

Insecticidal dust "Clean House" is intended for the destruction of cockroaches, ants, fleas, bed bugs, flies (breeding sites).

The packaging is designed for 10 sq.m. treated surface.

The powder is great for getting rid of bedbugs. We already know that they hide in furniture, clothes, beds and even in your pets' terrariums. The powder can be poured into any crack in the house, this is its special advantage.

The simple house (or bed) bug is a parasite that is an external night irritant for humans and animals. It feeds on the blood of the host, and can also store pathogens in its body for a long time, which, under certain conditions, can enter a person through the blood and cause diseases such as:

• viral etiology of hepatitis B;
• tularemia;
• plague;
• Q-fever;
• tuberculosis;
• typhoid fever and some others.

It can be argued that such diseases transmitted by bedbugs are a very rare case in medicine, but “forewarned is forearmed,” so you just need to remember this. And bedbug bites themselves can have a negative impact on health: as a result, normal sleep and rest are disrupted, which leads to stress on the nervous system and worsens a person’s overall ability to work.

If you follow the instructions on how to use the dust, it says that it is necessary to treat the entire room where the parasites live with the insecticide, and not individual areas. It is necessary to carefully examine the places where they can accumulate and apply dust here with special care.

Buyers are accustomed to the fact that insect repellents are sold in the form of aerosols or liquids, so the question often arises of how to dilute bug dust, what proportions to follow, and how to apply it to the surfaces being treated. And there is no need to breed it. Dust should only be used in dry form.

To achieve greater effect, any insecticide must be used according to standard rules (in this case, clearly know how to use the dust). But before you start processing, you should prepare for it.

First of all, the person who will carry out pest control must protect himself. To do this, you will need protective clothing: a respirator, gloves, goggles and closed clothing. This is important to ensure that small particles of powder do not get into the eyes, respiratory tract or skin.

Even if a version of the dust that is minimally dangerous to humans is used, there is no point in getting it into the body.

Following this, the furniture must be moved away from the walls. This will provide access to secluded corners where insects or their nests may be located en masse. In this case, it is advisable to disassemble the beds and remove the mattresses from them, since bedbugs often hide exactly where they are closest to the food source at night.

Food, dishes, and hygiene items need to be removed or packaged. Family members and pets should be evacuated from the apartment during the treatment and for several hours after it. After this, you can begin the main work.

Dust powders are mainly used in dry form and will need to be dispersed correctly. To use the product economically, take a brush, sponge or brush and, dipping them in the powder, apply the dust to where the largest concentration of bedbugs is expected. The following areas are mainly processed:

• corners;
• walls with peeling wallpaper;
• carpets on the reverse side and the floor underneath them;
• the perimeter of the room along the baseboards;
• cabinets, bookshelves, bedside tables and ottomans;
• bed frame, etc.

That is, all the darkest and most secluded places in the apartment must be treated. Upon completion of the work, you need to take a shower and wash the clothes in which the disinfestation was carried out.

Leave the powder where it was scattered for several hours, but not less than three. After this, wash those areas with which there is maximum contact in everyday life (furniture armrests, countertops, etc.). In other places, leave the powder, without rinsing, for several days. The longer it stays in the house, the more bedbugs will inevitably come into contact with the poison and die.

If the instructions for use say that this type of dust needs to be diluted and not scattered, then you just need to carefully read how to dilute the product. Having studied the nuances, begin processing after preparing the premises for disinfestation.

It is equally important to purchase high-quality dust. That is why you should not buy it secondhand, at street retail outlets and in other dubious places. Real certified powder with a quality guarantee is more likely to be found in hardware stores than from private traders at bazaars.

And if the product is chosen in the right place and used according to all the rules, bedbugs will not be able to firmly establish themselves in the house. A person will only have to wait for the effect, after which he can sleep peacefully.

Dust, like any drug, has its strengths and weaknesses, which are important to consider before you start baiting bedbugs.

• Ease of use (sold ready-made).
• Budget cost.
• Low consumption (50 g is enough to treat a room of 10 square meters).
• Long shelf life (up to 5 years).
• Small dosage of insecticides, the drug is not toxic to humans.
• Wide spectrum of action, can be used not only against bedbugs, but also against other insects (ants, cockroaches, fleas).

• The low concentration of poison does not allow the drug to act immediately.
• Harmless to bedbug larvae, kills only adults and young individuals.
• Repeated treatment is required after 5-7 days.
• Dust is strictly not recommended for use in areas where children and pets may be present. If ingested, it can cause intoxication and respiratory spasm.

Instructions for using dusts

The powder should be sprinkled throughout the house. You can dilute DDT with water and treat the room with the liquid. It is either sprayed or applied with a sponge to baseboards, window sills and sofas. DDT is scattered on horizontal surfaces. If the item is made of a rough material, it can be sprinkled in a vertical position. Due to the uneven texture, some of the dust will linger.

The dust is sprayed with a spray bottle.

The following areas should be treated:

• seams on mattresses;
• baseboards and the space behind them;
• the inner parts of the sofa, as well as seams, the area under the upholstery, folds in the material, etc.;
• space under the carpet;
• floors;
• wallpaper joints if the coating has come off;
• the inner surface of cabinets, their rear walls;
• laminate and parquet, peeling coating.

How to prepare for processing

Before processing you need to do the following:

1. Do some general cleaning. Before processing, you need to remove all dirt and dust to increase the effectiveness of the dust. It is necessary to open all hard-to-reach places, since bedbugs most often hide in cracks. If you don't do this, the powder won't work.
2. Move, or better yet, disassemble and remove the furniture. Insects often hide in upholstery, under mattresses, etc. For this reason, you need to carefully treat not only floors and baseboards, but also furniture. This also applies to dog and cat beds.
3. Remove the mattress from the bed. Place it at an angle to the wall.
4. Turn over the carpets. Bedbugs often live on the back side, so it must be accessible for treatment.
5. Remove any decorations from the walls. Insects are often found behind paintings.
6. Open the outlets. Bedbugs can live inside.
7. Remove skirting boards if necessary.
8. Wash all textiles. To destroy parasites, high temperature conditions should be used.

Before processing, you need to carry out general cleaning.

Actions after processing

Immediately after treatment, you should wash your face and hands. If you are wearing a robe, get rid of it, put it in the wash or dry clean it. After 3 hours, you can clean: remove any remaining product and ventilate. Rugs and carpets begin to be washed within a day. DDT is removed from hard-to-reach crevices only after 2-3 months. It will take 3-4 days for the dust smell to completely disappear.

After treatment, you need to wash your face and hands.

Top – 3 popular dusts against bedbugs

Tornado

Among the most famous dusts, the following brands stand out: Clean House, Klopoveron, Fenaxin, Riapan, Fas-double. Most of them are easy to find in stores for a low price. It is problematic to buy clopoveron, and its cost varies from 1 thousand to 2.5 thousand rubles. This is due to the high effectiveness of the drug - it was originally created to kill bedbugs on warships.

On the shelves of non-food stores we see a huge assortment of various anti-bedbug medications. Here is a list of the most effective dust powders:

• Klopoveron. The drug was created for use by specialists in large areas of infection, so it rarely appears on sale. It is an order of magnitude more expensive than other insect control products.
• Dust "Clean House". This very reliable product is used at home. It has moderate toxicity, so you should strictly follow the instructions for use.
• Phenaxin is odorless and provides good results.
• Fas-double – serves as an analogue to Phenaxin.
• Riapan. The active substance in this powder is permethrin. The effect of the drug lasts for 3-4 days.
• Dust "Tornado". One package is enough for 70 m2, the approximate cost of the drug is from 20 rubles.
• Neopine. A type of powder that can be diluted with water and treated in hard-to-reach areas.

Today in Moscow you can buy insecticides of this series with other fillers. Such drugs are Neopin for bedbugs and Riapan for bedbugs.

Neopine

Neopin is one of the most effective powder mixtures, it lasts 24 hours, does not kill all insects, and is used 3-5 times a week. Requires dilution: 10 grams of powder in 1 liter of water, convenient for use in the home, as it has no odor, can also be used in garden areas. Apply using a sprayer.

• put on rubber gloves, plastic goggles, overalls, a mask, and, if it is necessary to treat large areas, a gas mask;
• clear the premises from unauthorized people;
• Before use, do a wet cleaning of the room;
• In case of contact with skin, rinse immediately with plenty of water;
• If severe dizziness or acute poisoning occurs, call an ambulance.

Riapan

Riapan for bedbugs is one of the effective powder mixtures containing permethrin. The product is packaged in plastic bottles of 125 g. Designed for disinfestation of 20 sq. meters of area. Has low toxicity to humans and animals. After treatment, it is left indoors for 2-3 weeks, after which wet cleaning is done. If you act strictly according to the instructions, you will not need to re-use the drug. Precautions are as follows:

• remove open food, pet food dishes and aquariums from the premises;
• after using the product, wash your hands and face thoroughly;
• store in places inaccessible to children and separately from food products;
• protect from high humidity, interaction with other chemicals and fire;
• leave the premises for 4-5 hours;
• strictly follow the instructions for use of the drug, as it can cause allergic reactions and other side effects.

All of these dust products can be bought in household chemical stores, where sellers can help you decide on the choice of drug. Therefore, you can decide for yourself whether the dust is effective against bedbugs after using it. However, in case of severe infestation of the apartment, you should opt for a more powerful and effective remedy for bedbugs.

How long will one procedure last?

If you follow the processing rules and preventive measures, you will be able to completely get rid of bedbugs in one go. Subsequent infection will occur only if you again bring the insects along with things or clothing. If neighbors have bedbugs, the risk increases. If they do not poison the parasites, the latter will constantly crawl into other apartments.

The dust may not have an effect on the larvae, so in case of severe infestation, it is recommended to re-treat it after a week. The powder that remains in hard-to-reach crevices will remain effective for another month.

General rules for using dusts against bedbugs

Depending on the selected dust, there are two processing methods. With the first, the powder is diluted in water, with the second, this is not necessary, since the dust loses its properties. Read the information on the packaging carefully. Rules for using dry powder:

1. Before treatment, wet clean the apartment.
2. Move furniture away from the walls.
3. Use a cotton gauze bandage and gloves when processing.
4. Put away food and dishes.
5. Sprinkle dust in places where bedbugs accumulate and move, as well as in corners, crevices and under baseboards.
6. After a week, carry out the treatment again.

Important! Do not delay re-treatment, otherwise bedbugs will lay new ones from the eggs remaining after the first use. And then the work will be useless.

When treating with dust diluted in water, follow the same rules. To spray, use a spray bottle in places where insects accumulate. To dilute the dust in the correct proportions, follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Popular bed bug powders

The most popular dusts include Riapan, “Clean House”, Klopoveron, etc.

Fas-Double

The drug helps get rid of not only bedbugs, but also fleas, flies, ants, cockroaches, etc. The treatment method does not differ from the standard one. First, DDT is scattered over surfaces and rubbed into fabric, then the remains are removed along with dead parasites. The main active ingredients are es-fenvalerate and zeta-cypermethrin.

Fas-Double is a universal, broad-spectrum insecticide.

Riapan

Riapan is a gentle remedy against crawling insects. It has no smell. The active ingredient is permethrin, which is contained in the powder in a small amount - 0.5%. The manufacturer claims that the product is safe for pets when used correctly.

"Clean house"

The advantages of the drug “Clean House” include low cost and the presence of several types of insecticides. The manufacturer uses cypermethrin and tetramethrin as active substances. These compounds belong to the category of pyrethroids.

The insecticide “Clean House” is sold in the form of a spray.

Pyrethrum

Pyrethrum is presented as a natural remedy for bedbugs, since the components for its production are extracted from plants. The latter secrete pyrethroids to protect against insects. Pyrethrum rarely causes the development of resistance in parasites and is safer for humans. However, the remedy does not help much with moderate and severe infections. It disintegrates in light after 36 hours.

Phenaxin

Phenaxin is a bedbug repellent containing fenvalerate, kaolin, lubricating oil, boric acid, etc. The drug additionally destroys other flying and crawling insects. It continues to act for 1.5-2 months after treatment, but has a relatively short shelf life of 18 months.

Phenaxin is a powder insecticide.

Klopoveron

Klopoveron is the most powerful of the dusts. It was previously used in the navy and armed forces. However, Klopoveron is difficult to find in the open market. Another disadvantage is its high price: the cost of a package (250 g) reaches 2000 rubles.

"Tornado"

“Tornado” is a budget-friendly way to kill bedbugs and other crawling insects. The dust is sold in small bags of 50 g, which are enough to treat 20-25 square meters. m. Packaging costs only 30-40 rubles.

Tornado is a highly effective remedy.

The most common manufacturers of Dust and rules for using drugs

If previously only one type of product was produced based on the insecticide DDT, today the range of products in this form has expanded significantly.

You can choose a drug with a low level of toxicity; there are also eco-powders for bedbugs (the least dangerous, approved for use by allergy sufferers).

Eco-dusts can be used by allergy sufferers

Dust from bedbugs – Clean house

The drug is positioned as a remedy for cockroaches. However, the composition includes universal insecticides: cypermethrin and tetramethrin. Their action is enhanced by piperonyl butoxide (a synergist that prevents the development of resistance in insects, increasing the effectiveness of the drug).

The powder will help remove bedbugs, flies, ants, and fleas. After treatment, you can clean up a few days later.

However, it is better to leave some of the powder in corners, behind baseboards and inside furniture.

Alisa, 29 years old, Rostov-on-Don

I thought for a long time in the store whether the dust helps against bedbugs, but because of the low price I still decided to buy it. The procedure went surprisingly well, but the result was not immediate, of course.

Clean house

Dust Absolute

A universal powder that helps get rid of many types of pests: fleas, bedbugs, cockroaches, etc. The effectiveness of the treatment is ensured in any case. This is due to the presence of different types of substances in the composition: fenthion, deltamethrin.

As a result, insects do not develop resistance, since the components represent different classes of insecticides.

Valeria, 44 years old, Bryansk

Dust Absolute did not feel like home at all. I read that it belongs to hazard class 4, like table salt, which allowed me to treat even the room of a child with allergies.

Absolute

Dust Klopoveron

This is a common remedy, used not only in the Russian Federation, but also in other countries. It is considered one of the most effective drugs. The main disadvantage is the high price. This is largely due to the excellent results of processing any objects. It contains a special poison, as well as bio-reagents and animal cells.

This combination allows you to attract the insect and kill it with a nerve-paraitic poison.

Larisa, 48 years old, Kaluga

It was no coincidence that Klopoveron ended up in my apartment - my brother brought it because I couldn’t find it in the city. After 2 treatments the insects disappeared. But I didn’t wait long; I scattered the powder again after a few days.

Klopoveron

Dust Phenaxin

The drug has no analogues in composition and principle of action. It contains the latest generation pyrethroid - fenvalerate, as well as boric acid. As a result, different effects are achieved during treatment: the insect receives a dose of nerve poison, in addition, the outer integument is damaged by boric acid particles, which leads to accelerated removal of fluid.

As a result, a double effect is ensured; the parasites quickly die.

The powder retains its properties for 4-6 weeks.

Valery, 45 years old, Samara

This product kills insects much faster. I even conducted a small household experiment: I treated one nest with Phenaxin, and the second with another dust. In the first case, the parasites died after 1 day.

Phenaxin

Dust Riapan

This is another universal drug that contains permethrin. Such a product can cause resistance in pests, so it must be used alternately with other drugs, but based on other substances: FOS, etc.

This will not give the parasite’s body a chance to adapt to the poison.

Anastasia, 33 years old, St. Petersburg

I decided to treat the apartment with powder because I have nowhere to go for at least 1 day so as not to inhale harmful substances. It turned out that after the first contact with the dry substance, bedbugs begin to fear the drug.

Riapan

Dust Nika-1

The product contains alphamethrin (synonymous with the name of the insecticide - alpha-cypermethrin of the pyrethroid class). It is recommended for use against flightless insects. The drug contributes to dysfunction of the nervous system of pests.

Bedbugs die within a few hours/days, depending on the dose of poison received.

The powder provides protection for the object for the next 2-3 weeks.

Anna, 27 years old, Novomoskovsk

I don't mind using powder, but I don't like the particles being spread when walking. When processing, I tried to sprinkle the product inside the furniture, so I covered the mattress well. I noticed the effect the next day.

Nika-1

Dust Fas double

The drug contains substances that affect the nervous system of bedbugs: zeta-cypermethrin, fenvalerate. Both are classified as pyrethroids, and therefore there is a risk of pests developing resistance to the poison. It is necessary to alternate Fas Double Dust with others, but it is important that the auxiliary products include organophosphate compounds.

Karina, 41 years old, Krech

I had to use Fas Double powder, because it is impossible to poison with an aerosol or cold fog (we are all allergic in the family). It seemed like a good result, gradually the bites stopped appearing.

Fas-Double

Eco dust

This is a completely safe product and contains a natural component – ​​diatomaceous earth. It is a rock and does not cause allergies or other complications.

Eco dust can be sprinkled even in the nursery.

Its use does not require water, since the powder is characterized by high absorbency, and therefore will cease to act if a working solution is prepared based on it.

I spent a long time looking at dust for bedbugs and read reviews. Still, I decided to use it to poison bed bugs. I waited a long time for the results, they crawled for two weeks. I almost gave up, but I noticed that in the morning there were no new bites.

The drug is positioned as effective in the fight against ants. However, the composition includes fenthion and deltamethrin, both substances are universal, destroying any insects, including bed bugs. The duration of action of the product is 4 months.

I accidentally bought this drug. Not bad, no smell, different substances in the composition. But it acts slowly, like all powders, I think. They are almost the same, because I’m already taking the second one, and the results are similar.

Blockbuster Dust

The product appeared relatively recently, but has become more widespread than its analogues. The composition includes different types of substances: pyrethroid and FOS. This does not allow the bedbug body to adapt to the poisons, which means the drug remains effective for a long time.

Igor, 31 years old, Saratov

I read the reviews, but somehow they are few. Decide to try this remedy yourself: treat the room, leave it as is, don’t do any cleaning. The bedbugs died right along the way - I found them in the center of the room in the morning, so I was pleased with the result.

Chinese dust

The drug is not found everywhere. It is used to kill various insects, including bed bugs. The processing principle is standard, like other powders. Chinese dust is distinguished by the fact that it does not tolerate moisture and quickly loses its properties.

Alla, 34 years old, Krasnodar

I found this drug on the market. I don’t know what’s in the ingredients, it wasn’t stated in Russian. But all the insects died out, and, of course, the bedbugs for which I was looking for a remedy. There were no side effects.

Important Tips and Recommendations

To increase the effectiveness of the dust, follow these recommendations:

1. Try to find out where the insects are most numerous. Add more powder there.
2. Rub dust into upholstery and fabric if you need to treat furniture. DDT can be applied with a brush.
3. Avoid treating areas where dishes are stored. This is unsafe, because some of the powder may later enter the body.
4. Carry out 2 treatments with a break a week. Even with a small infestation, there may be larvae left somewhere that the dust will not have an effect on.
5. If you encounter bedbugs again, do not use the product that has already been used to destroy the colony. Replace it with another one, since there is a high probability of parasites having resistance.

Operating principle

Dust can be either contact or intestinal .

To combat bedbugs, it is best to choose a contact action product. In this case, the powder only needs to hit any surface of the parasite’s body, and the destruction mechanism will automatically start. The poison gradually corrodes the chitinous shell of the bug, then paralyzes its nervous system and leads to death.

The intestinal preparation is not suitable for bedbugs. Bed bugs are blood-sucking insects, so the structure of their jaw and mouth as a whole is not designed for eating dry food. No matter how attractive dust is to bedbugs, they physically cannot eat it.
