Where and why do bedbugs appear indoors?
Bed parasites are found not only where the sanitary condition of the facility has deteriorated. But they contribute to even more severe indoor pollution. However, most often pests appear where there are people. Basic conditions for this:
- there is a need to find new sources of food (blood);
- the number of insects increases so much that it is difficult for insects to find a safe place on an infected object; they crawl to other areas.
This means that neighbors usually become the source of pests. But besides this, there are a number of other factors that contribute to the spread of insects:
- pets: carry bedbugs on their fur;
- insects “travel” in suitcases and bags, they can be brought home from a business trip or vacation;
- on clothes: sometimes guests bring bedbugs on themselves; you can also catch the parasite yourself if you spend the night in an infested apartment;
- purchased pieces of furniture are a breeding ground for parasites - it is not always possible to thoroughly check the product from all sides (from the inside), this is where bedbugs hide, and the risk of infecting your home is present when purchasing a new or old sofa/bed.

Advantages and disadvantages of a chemical preparation
Like all insect killers, Forsythe has its pros and cons. The advantages of the drug include:
- Suspensions of this brand do not have toxic fumes, due to which they can be used in rooms where small children and animals live. The suspension can be used to treat kitchens, canteens, restaurants and other public places.
- In terms of toxicity, the drug is classified as class four, which means Forsyth has low toxicity. Upon contact with skin, it can cause only minor irritation. However, penetration of the drug into the human body can cause serious poisoning. Therefore, it should be kept away from food and children.
- Foresight is very easy to use. The gel can be used immediately, but the suspension only needs to be diluted according to the instructions.
- The drug has a long-lasting effect and is therefore capable of destroying all insects, their larvae and eggs.
The disadvantages of the Forsyth bedbug remedy include:
- The need to prepare the premises.
- The drug has a long-lasting, but not immediate effect. Therefore, the parasites will disappear only after some time.
- The product must be sprayed carefully, since insects die only after contact with it. Therefore, you should not miss a single corner or crevice.
- The biggest disadvantage of Forsyth is its unpleasant odor. However, it easily disappears from the room within a few days.
Description and composition of the “Foresight” product
The main component in the composition is fenthion.
It is an oily liquid whose concentration is 25%. When mixed with minor components, the substance does not leave pronounced stains on surfaces. Fenthion belongs to the group of FOS - organophosphorus substances (compounds). It is distinguished by a light brown hue and a barely noticeable smell of garlic. The insecticide is destroyed when heated, releasing toxic components.
The drug has an intestinal contact effect. Thanks to this, the poison can penetrate the body in different ways: mainly through the digestive tract and the cuticle of the parasite. However, bed bugs do not eat as varied a diet as, for example, cockroaches. For this reason, it will not be possible to poison bloodsuckers through the digestive tract. Traps do not affect them for the same reason.
However, the parasites still receive a double dose of poison, since insecticide particles also penetrate the body through the spiracles, but this is only possible if the bug crawled through the apartment while the toxic substance was being sprayed.
The principle of action of the drug Forsyth is based on damage to the nervous system. However, the insecticide fipronil works differently from pyrethroids. Mechanism of influence on parasites: inhibition of cholinesterase occurs, this is the name of the enzyme that takes part in the process of transporting ions through cell membranes. In addition, it is found in nerve tissues and has a direct effect on tissue excitability. If this enzyme is inhibited (suppressed), the functioning of the nervous system is disrupted, the parasite stops receiving food and does not reproduce, because its motor functions are limited.

Photo: release form of the drug
Forsythe is available commercially in the form of a liquid concentrate (emulsion) and a trap. It can be purchased in bottles of different sizes (50 and 500 ml), as well as in a 5 liter canister. Packaging in orange and blue tones.

Force site gel
Composition of the drug
The Forsyth preparation is a light yellow liquid with a specific odor, which subsequently serves to prepare a working suspension.
What makes it effective is the main substance fenthion, which is essentially a colorless oil and is almost insoluble in most organic solvents.
Important! The substance fenthion, which is part of Forsyth, despite its deadly and highly effective effect in the fight against bedbugs, is safe for humans and any other warm-blooded creatures.
Auxiliary components
:
- solvent;
- stabilizer (designed to maintain parameters despite destabilizing conditions);
- antioxidants (substances that inhibit oxidation);
- fragrance (a mixture that is designed to muffle the unpleasant odor of the product base).
Thanks to this composition, the insecticide leads to paralysis of blood-sucking insects by blocking nerve impulses in their body.
Forsyth is used mainly by specialists, but if you want to try its effectiveness at home, you should know that you can purchase this remedy for bedbugs in a special store, as well as at the SES. Here the price ranges from 400 to 900 rubles.
In order to save time and money and with the availability of the World Wide Web, you can order an insecticide through an online resource. In this case, the lower price limit will be lower.
Advantages of the drug
Forsyth against bedbugs stands out from its analogues due to its positive qualities:
- prolonged action – up to 6 weeks;
- high efficiency of use;
- universal action: the drug equally well destroys pests of different types (cockroaches, bedbugs, fleas, moths, etc.);
- it is permissible to use the emulsion concentrate in private houses, apartments, facilities for any other purpose (commercial, industrial, etc.);
- simple preparation of the solution: the emulsion concentrate is diluted with water in the ratio recommended by the manufacturer;
- low consumption.

The Force-Site product has a pronounced insecticidal effect against cockroaches, ants, bedbugs, fleas, larvae and adults of flies and mosquitoes, and rat mites. The residual effect of the drug lasts about 3-5 weeks.
For self-treatment, use a pump sprayer or a household sprayer.
To prepare working emulsions, the product is dissolved in water at room temperature, stirring evenly. Calculation of the amount of concentrate required to prepare the working emulsion is given in the table.
Species of arthropod | Concentration (%) according to DV | Concentration (%) of working emulsion according to formulation | Amount of drug (g) per (l) water | ||

In accordance with the requirements of regulatory documentation, the Force Site tool is characterized by the following quality indicators:
Indicator name | Meaning |
Appearance | Transparent liquid of light brown color |
Mass fraction of fenthion, % | 25.0 ± 1.0 |
The consumption rate of the working solution is 50 ml/m2 for non-moisture-absorbing surfaces and 100 ml/m2 for moisture-absorbing surfaces. Remove the product from treated surfaces using a wet method - with a rag and a soap-soda solution 24 hours after application, but no later than 3 hours before the start of the working day.
To destroy cockroaches , the working solution is used to treat places where insects accumulate, nest and move, paying special attention to the following places: cracks and holes in floors and walls, door frames, thresholds, floor and ceiling skirting boards, ventilation holes, pipe joints, cladding, kitchen furniture . If there are a large number of insects, the entire room should be treated at once (even those rooms where there were no insects). This is carried out in order to prevent the migration of cockroaches to other territories and their further spread. When insects appear, re-treatment is carried out.
When using Forsythe against bedbugs , the entire room is often not treated. If the number of parasites is insignificant, only their habitats are treated with the working solution. If there is a high infestation of bed bugs, the areas where wallpaper has peeled off, baseboards, window frames, door frames and ventilation holes, cracks in walls, back walls of furniture, carpets, and mattresses should also be treated. It is not recommended to treat bed linen with the working solution; it must be washed at high temperatures. After 5-7 days, it is recommended to re-treat, as young offspring may appear from the larvae that you may have missed.
To destroy ants , the working solution is sprayed on the places of accumulation and movement (paths) of insects.
When treating fleas , the working solution should expose walls (up to a height of 1 meter from the floor), the entire floor surface, various floor coverings, baseboards and cracks. When processing basements, it is necessary to get rid of garbage and clutter and thoroughly treat the entire room. Pet beds should also be treated and washed well after 24 hours.
When treating against flies and mosquitoes , insect landing sites, as well as external walls, garbage chutes and garbage containers should be treated with a working solution. To destroy fly larvae, cesspools and waste can be treated once every 20-30 days. To destroy mosquito larvae with a working solution, it is necessary to treat the surfaces of closed reservoirs, basements, and large containers with standing water.
To kill rat mites, treat walls and floors near heating pipes, baseboards, work tables, and the bottom and back walls of furniture. If necessary, re-treatment can be carried out only after 10-15 days.
Disadvantages of the drug
When processing an object independently, difficulties may arise for a number of reasons:
- the product does not destroy bedbug eggs;
- the drug is toxic (fenthion in its composition belongs to the group of substances of hazard class 2);
- if you carry out the treatment yourself, you will have to use a spray bottle, and the size of the particles coming out of the spray hole is not small enough, so they quickly settle, which does not allow the drug to penetrate the respiratory tract of the parasites;
- it is necessary to re-apply Forsyth against bedbugs (after 10-14 days), because insect larvae will soon appear, if nothing is done, the apartment will become infected again.
The drug kills only adult insects
Where to buy Forsyth?
"Foresight" is a highly specialized, professional drug. Despite the increased safety precautions for use (a respirator is required), it can be purchased at the local SES service and in large garden and construction stores as a universal insecticide. The product is also sold in specialized retail outlets for the fight against parasites.
Buying where household medications are sold is problematic. Although Forsyth has a danger class of IV, for some reason it is not widespread. On the recommendation of neighbors, I purchased the product at the sanitary and epidemiological station along with a respirator. I was pleased that it has a prolonged effect and, judging by the description, is absolutely not absorbed into textiles. I poisoned it, went with my family to the dacha, returned two days later and ventilated it. The bugs didn't bother us anymore.
Anatoly, Penza
They searched for a long time, a friend shared - she was cleaning out the apartment after unscrupulous tenants. I was amazed by the low consumption - only 150 ml was enough for us, the rest was returned. A little later I saw the same bottle at the garden center. One treatment was enough for us - the only drawback was that we had to spend the night with relatives. But, as far as I know, almost all similar insecticides require insulation and sealing of the room. I'm satisfied with the effect.

Instructions for using "Foresight" against bedbugs
The buyer is recommended to study the features of using the product before purchasing. This will help to understand whether there is enough physical capacity, time and effort to implement the plan (processing the object).
Preparing the premises
The use of insecticides begins with cleaning. It is necessary to remove dust and traces of human activity with a damp cloth. Such measures make it possible to detect nests of parasites, so that these areas will be treated more thoroughly. Adults, larvae and eggs are destroyed where they were concentrated.
But this should not give reason to think that the treatment has ended, since the offspring of pests can be hidden anywhere, even outside the nest.
Other preparatory activities:
- free up space next to the baseboards, for which it is necessary to move the furniture 10-15 cm closer to the center of the room;
- the mattress is removed from the bed and placed vertically in any convenient place;
- clean plants, aquarium;
- woven products (bedspreads, curtains, bedding, wardrobe items) should be washed if possible, and the offspring can only be killed by exposure to high temperatures, which means they consider the method of washing, ironing, boiling or steaming;
- the dishes are hermetically sealed and then taken out as far as possible from the processing epicenter;
- Considering that the Forsyth bedbug repellent is highly toxic, when using it, there should be no animals or children in the room, only the person treating the room should be present;
- the walls are freed from interior items (paintings, clocks, etc.), their frame/body also needs to be processed;
- if you plan to use poison in winter, the carpet and upholstered furniture can be taken outside, since it is not recommended to treat these items with a highly toxic insecticide;
- the furniture is partially dismantled (people's sleeping places), which will make it possible to process the most remote areas inside.
Olga, 38 years old, Samara
I used For Site, the drug was inexpensive, but I made a big mistake - I didn’t clear out the trash first. I did a wet cleaning, but all the things remained in their places, I think because of this, bites soon appeared on the body - parasites were still alive somewhere.
Surfaces must be cleaned of dust before use.
Preparation of working solution
Recommended ratio of main components: 20 ml of concentrated emulsion and 980 ml of liquid. This is enough to destroy parasites. Moreover, it is important to mix the components at room temperature. You should also dilute the product with cool water (not too cold, but not warm or hot). This will preserve the properties of the substance. It is recommended to prepare a solution for treating the room immediately before starting the procedure.
If Forssyth is diluted much earlier, the risk of loss of properties also increases.
Karina, 34 years old, Omsk
I put on a respirator long before I started processing the apartment - even when I mixed the emulsion with water. I didn’t like the smell, but I still used the drug. In the end, it worked as it should, so it’s worth using it.
For spraying it is better to use a spray bottle
Surface treatment
Spraying the working product is performed once; after some time (1 to 2 weeks), the procedure can be repeated. Force site against bedbugs is used to protect all accessible surfaces:
- floors;
- walls (at least to a level of 0.5-1 m);
- cabinets (from the back wall);
- other furniture (except upholstered);
- wall items;
- wallpaper joints (but make sure that the emulsion does not leave traces);
- internal structure of a sofa, bed (only hard materials are processed);
- windowsill;
- pallets of flowers.
The duration of action of the product is 1.5 months. Despite this, it is still recommended to re-spray the substance (when the larvae emerge from the shells).
Treatment is carried out in all rooms
Recommendations: what to do after treatment
You should leave the site for 2-3 hours, if possible, it is better to return later. This will eliminate bedbugs in a shorter period of time. Then you need to wipe some surfaces: door handles, switches. It is also recommended to do general cleaning, but not earlier than after 2 weeks. In this case, the protective layer can remain on surfaces for up to 6 weeks.
An alkaline substance is used for cleaning, since fog particles quickly break down in this environment.
Inna, 34 years old, Belgorod
The drugs that used to always kill bedbugs stopped helping. I had to order Forsythe. This product seemed unpleasant to me at first, but later I got used to the smell and even stopped noticing it. Because of this, I forgot that it was time to do general cleaning; the surfaces were covered with insecticide for 1.5 months. I think this helped protect against re-infection.
General cleaning after treatment must be done after 2 weeks.

REMINDER FOR USING FORSSITE
Preparation of working solution
You cannot use Forsyth concentrated bedbug repellent. The insecticidal preparation must be diluted with water. To dilute the drug, you can use plastic or ceramic containers. After adding the insecticide to the water, the solution should be thoroughly stirred for 5 minutes to obtain a homogeneous composition, and only then should it be poured into a spray bottle.
Recommended dosage, depending on the type of insect being destroyed:
Insect species | Content of the drug per 1 liter of water |
Bed bugs | 3.5 ml |
Cockroaches | 10 ml |
Ants, mosquitoes | 5 ml |
Fleas | 0.25 ml |
Forsyth concentrate must be diluted immediately before use, as the solution remains active for 8 hours. With longer storage, it loses its insecticidal properties.
Security measures
Like any other product in liquid form, the drug in question must be sprayed using a spray bottle, which can be purchased at a hardware store. Then they prepare for the procedure. Wear personal protective equipment, these include:
- respirator;
- glasses;
- gloves (made of non-woven material);
- headscarf;
- closed clothes.
External covers should be washed under running water. The most effective method is to take a shower.
Processing must be carried out in protective equipment
Signs of drug poisoning
Sometimes, due to the fact that recommendations and rules are not taken into account when following the instructions for use, negative manifestations arise:
- dizziness;
- headache;
- weakness;
- breathing problems;
- nausea;
- convulsions;
- increased salivation;
- convulsions;
- fainting;
- vomiting, diarrhea;
- painful sensations in the abdominal area.
Table: first aid
Due to the high toxicity of the drug, you should know in advance how to behave if the instructions for its use are violated and symptoms of poisoning appear. Recommendations are given in the table below.
Method of poisoning | Symptoms | First aid |
Insecticide contact with skin (damaged or undamaged - the assistance measures are the same) | itching; burning; skin hyperemia; edema; painful sensations. | The skin should be washed. Damaged areas are treated especially carefully, since the largest amount of poison enters the body through an open wound. |
Penetration of a toxic substance into the respiratory tract - the probability of this is quite high | breathing problems; severe allergies; swelling of the larynx; painful sensations in the throat area; weakness; pale outer skin; A rash on the body is a consequence of the development of an allergy. | This method of poisoning obliges everyone to go to the hospital emergency room rather than wait for improvement, especially if breathing is impaired, since in this case the risk of death and the development of anaphylactoid reactions increases. In everyday conditions it will not be possible to provide full assistance to a person; he needs qualified treatment (most often with the help of IVs) |
Poisoning through the digestive tract - the likelihood of this is low, since the substance must first enter the esophagus. Such cases occur when a person accidentally uses an insecticide. | vomit; nausea; diarrhea; weakness; pale outer coverings. | Rinse the stomach. This can be done at home by drinking large amounts of water over a short period. Then the victim is given a sorbent. If vomiting does not go away and the general condition of the body does not improve, you need to go to the hospital emergency room |
At the first symptoms of poisoning, you should consult a doctor
How to use Foresight?
Forsyth is a bedbug repellent made in the form of a concentrate, which must be diluted with water before use. According to the instructions, 50 ml of the drug is diluted in a liter of water, after which it is ready for use.
Advice! To reduce the pungent odor of the emulsion, use cold water.
Using a working solution in an amount of 5 liters, you can treat a room with an area of about 50 m2. The product must be sprayed around the entire perimeter of the room; detected bedbug nests and any hard-to-reach places will require special care.
Forsyth can be used to destroy bedbugs in residential and industrial premises of any size
With Forsyth, it is necessary to carefully treat the inner surface of all furniture in the room: shelves of cabinets, bedside tables, sofas, armchairs. Then spray the product onto mattresses and pillows. Next, walk the solution over the outer surface of the furniture, including those facing the floor or wall. Fittings and working mechanisms also do not go unnoticed.
Advice! If bedbug colonies are few in number, there is no need to treat bedding and clothing. But if there is a large accumulation of them, you should increase the intensity of spraying the drug in every secluded place: wallpaper joints, cracks in the plaster layer, baseboards, and so on.
After the treatment is completed, the room should be closed for 6-7 hours. After this time, the room is ventilated and it becomes fully suitable for occupation. Some insects may survive after treatment, but they will no longer bite and will still die over time. To increase the duration of the protective barrier, Chlorophos or Klopoveron can be used simultaneously with Forsyth. In this way, you are guaranteed to protect your home from the invasion of bloodsuckers for a period of about 2 years.
Where to buy and at what price
It is recommended to compare prices at different retail outlets. The region also influences price formation. Some of the proposals can be seen in the table below.
Name of shop | City, address | price, rub. |
REMWAY-MSK | Moscow (Mytishchi), st. Mira, 30 | 270 |
orsk.regmarkets.ru | Orsk | 1375 |
NPO "DezMed" | Novosibirsk, st. Mira, 54 | 178 |
When choosing a product, you need to pay attention not only to the method of application and dosage, as well as the cost, but also the volume of the bottle. Products in large containers (500 ml and 5 l) are more expensive.
Cost and reviews
A 50 ml bottle costs 250–300 rubles, 100 ml of concentrated suspension costs 450 rubles. For disinfestation of large premises by sanitary service specialists, the composition in containers of 500 ml and 1 liter is suitable, the price is 1100 and 1700 rubles, respectively.
Reviews of the drug Forsyth are in most cases positive. Owners are pleased with the activity of the contact insecticide with a low level of toxicity to humans. After one or two treatments, the bedbugs disappear, but sometimes it is necessary to use a more toxic product. A similar situation is observed when the apartment is heavily infested, or when living in an old house, where there are many secluded places and dry wooden elements.
Contact insecticide Forsyth is destructive to bedbugs, fleas, cockroaches, and flies. A concentrated product with a low toxicity class has proven effective when treating rooms of various sizes.
Reviews of Forsyth bedbug repellent
Marina, 33 years old, Moscow
I like the quick processing results that this product provides. The smell does not disappear immediately; you need to ventilate the room where disinfestation was carried out for a long time.
Inga, 38 years old, Omsk
The bedbugs returned after Forssyth treatment. I didn’t expect this to happen, and besides, the guarantee provided by the execution company no longer works. I had to go and figure out why this happened.
Anastasia, 27 years old, Krasnodar
When I sprayed Forssyth against bedbugs, the reviews immediately came to mind: people speak positively about this product, but I myself didn’t see anything good. The smell only at first seems easy to remove; in fact, it eats into the coating.
Elena 34 years old, Nizhny Novgorod
I have a spray bottle at home. I have used it many times already (I live in a private house), I like the effect of using Forssyth.
Igor, 38 years old, St. Petersburg
I never trusted insecticides, I thought they were similar to each other. But I saw how quickly bedbugs die from the Forssyth product, it impressed me.
Various packaging of the drug Force-site
Features of the Foresight tool
- The harmful effects last for about 4-5 months. This suggests that the drug has been killing bedbugs all this time;
- The suspension is contact (the insect dies upon contact with the drug);
- In terms of toxicity, the product belongs to a low class.
In case of contact with the skin, redness may occur. If the substance gets into the eyes, the irritation will be more aggressive. If accidentally ingested, the substance can cause dehydration.
Forsythe helped us quickly. But soon bedbugs and cockroaches appeared again. It turned out that the neighbors had whole nests. We barely persuaded them to carry out the treatment. Many thanks to the workers of such services. The smell is, of course, unpleasant. But now neither we nor our neighbors have insects.
Maxim, Lipetsk
We decided to get rid of bedbugs in a trailer at a construction site. We bought some product at the market. The stench is terrible. There are fewer parasites, but they continue to gnaw. One of the guys heard about Forsyth, a bedbug repellent, which had good reviews. Bought. After the second treatment, we stopped getting bitten, but some guys still didn’t believe in a miracle. Well, we went through it a third time to consolidate it. It's been four months since they've been gone. Reliable tool.
Sergey, Kirov
I have been fighting bedbugs in my house for many months. I used different traps and gels. Nothing helps. I even tried traditional methods. A friend brought Forsyth and told me how and where to apply it. Treated it, the bugs disappeared. I hope this lasts for a long time.
Alexander, Tula
The concentrate has a characteristic light yellow tint and a rather pungent odor, so the treatment must be carried out in a respirator, and after it the room must be well ventilated. The active ingredient of the drug creates a protective barrier that prevents the reappearance of bedbugs in the house for four to five months from the date of treatment.
We should consider in more detail how Foresight affects the body of warm-blooded animals.
- The concentrate itself is distinguished by the complete absence of vapors and is therefore classified as moderately hazardous (class IV).
- In case of contact with skin, Forsyth may cause slight hyperemia.
- After direct contact with the mucous membrane of the eyes, quite severe irritation appears.
- If it enters the body of humans or domestic animals, it can cause serious chemical poisoning.
- When diluted, the product begins to emit fumes classified as hazard class II, which often cause dizziness, fainting and an allergic reaction.
To protect yourself and your loved ones from possible negative consequences, you must first carefully read the instructions and strictly follow all the rules regarding the use of the product.
- Low toxicity, the effect of which on the human body is reduced to zero when using personal protective equipment.
- The concentrate is completely free of evaporation, which allows it to be used in residential areas.
- Long shelf life after treatment.
- Simple technology to use.
Minuses
- The treatment should be carried out with special care, not avoiding cracks and corners, as this can lead to a quick re-infestation of the room with bedbugs.
- Forsyth does not affect bedbug eggs.
- The product has a low destruction rate.
We live in a family-type hostel - naturally, bedbugs are constantly visiting us. Forsythe was recommended by a friend who works as an exterminator; admitted that they use it themselves. The drug is really very effective, and most importantly, it is not at all difficult to use. Ivan
When we got bedbugs, we tried to poison them with folk remedies for some time. They helped, but not for long. The problem was completely resolved only after treatment with Forsyth. So I recommend him to everyone. Katya
Modern insecticides are expected to be effective, convenient and safe to use. Forsyth is just such a remedy, an inexpensive and easy-to-use poison against bedbugs, whose effectiveness is determined by the presence of a strong insecticide-acaricide in the composition.

Ask a Question
• Forssyth does not require the use of auxiliary agents, since it is a strong drug, but it is still recommended to alternate it with analogues of other types due to the risk of developing resistance; • when treating a room, do not use a gauze bandage to protect the respiratory system; you need a respirator with a complex filtration system to retain volatile components; • the strength of the drug is too significant, and therefore it is not recommended to increase the concentration of the drug on your own, as this may cause poisoning.
The drug does not destroy eggs and larvae of pests
Bedbug treatment areas
Treatment should begin with cleaning; a vacuum cleaner and a rag will partially help you destroy individual individuals and open nests of parasites.
- We move the furniture away from the walls and clear away the rubble (freeing up access).
- We remove the curtains and drapes and put them in the wash.
- We remove carpets, paintings, photo frames, etc. from the walls.
- We unfold the sofas and dismantle the bed.
- We put food, cosmetics, and personal hygiene products in plastic bags and put them away.
- Cover aquariums and house plants tightly.
- We clear the treated area from people and animals.
If elections were held for cockroaches, the voting options would look like this: - Dichlorvos - Raid Trap - Mashenka's Chalk - Slippers
We process:
- Gaps in floors and baseboards, places where wallpaper has peeled off.
- The back of paintings, carpets, bedside furniture.
- All seams of the mattress and all upholstered furniture.
- Heating panels, places under window sills.
- Send bed linen and soft toys to the wash.
After treatment, you should wait 5-7 hours and ventilate the room well. Send your work clothes to the wash and take a shower yourself. Wipe the contact surfaces with a solution of baking soda and water (a teaspoon per glass of water). Carry out the cleaning after 2 - 3 days, the presence of corpses will show how effective the treatment was. The residual effect of the drug will destroy the newly hatched larvae. If the drug comes into contact with your skin, wash with cold water and soap. In case of contact with eyes, rinse thoroughly with running water.
Forsythe Action
The drug has an effect not only on adults, but also on larvae. But Forsyth does not work on insect eggs. We can only hope for a prolonged effect of the drug. There is a possibility that the newly born bugs will die immediately. Otherwise you will have to repeat the procedure.
The effectiveness is explained by the effective composition of the insecticide:
- active substance - fenthion 25% concentration;
- excipients - antioxidants, stabilizers, fragrance, solvent.
Forsythe paralyzes the insect, which leads to its further death.
The residual effect of the insecticide lasts up to six months.
Instructions for use
The use of the drug requires preliminary preparation of the working emulsion. It is prepared at the rate of 50 ml per 1 liter of cold water.
It is recommended to use cold water to prevent the release of toxic fumes. Using the drug in a room with a low temperature will also make it easier to work with. After preparing the concentrate, the liquid is poured into a spray bottle and the contaminated surfaces are treated.
You should first remove plants and pets from the house, seal clothes and hygiene products, and hide food. For ease of processing, furniture is moved away from the walls, sofas and armchairs are laid out to open access to the joints. The drug is sprayed:
- mattresses;
- furniture from all sides;
- sofa cushions;
- interior parts of beds and sofas;
- empty cabinet shelves;
- the space behind baseboards, around doors and windows.
At the end of the procedure, the room must be left. Five to seven hours after the end of the procedure and ventilation, it is again suitable for habitation. After treating the apartment with the drug, you should:
- ventilate the room for half an hour;
- do wet cleaning, leaving hard-to-reach places and walls untouched;
- wash all fabric items;
- Clean upholstered furniture using a washing vacuum cleaner or warm water.
Repeated treatment is carried out no earlier than a week later.
Description of the drug and its composition
Forsyth looks like a light brown liquid with an unpleasant odor. In stores it is offered in the form of a concentrate from which a working emulsion is prepared. Forsyth candies are on sale, but keep in mind that this is not an insecticide.
A special substance, fenthion, has a damaging effect on bedbugs and cockroaches. Not only adults, but also larvae cannot tolerate it. Unfortunately, the drug has no effect on insect eggs. However, this is compensated by the long-term action of the insecticide, so you can only treat the apartment once to destroy all adult bedbugs, and also not worry about future offspring.
