1. Method of using Chinese powder against cockroaches
2. Procedure for use, safety rules
3. Features of quality insecticides

A large selection of powdered insecticides makes the consumer think about what to choose. Sellers recommend Chinese powders for cockroaches - effective, but low-hazard and inexpensive.

The most common types of Chinese-made dust are:

• Qian Wo Duan;
• Green Leaf;
• SLS Powder.

They are granules or powder without a particular odor, color from white to light brown.

Scope of application – all insects that should not be in a residential area. These are cockroaches, ants, fleas (about 30 species in total). The manufacturer guarantees 100% destruction of unwanted neighbors.

Types of chemicals

Chinese anti-Prussian products come in the form of:

• gels in syringes;
• powders;
• aerosols, sprays;
• crayons;
• traps;
• smoke bombs;
• tablets;
• liquids.

Manufacturers from China also offer ultrasonic and electromagnetic insect repellers, but the effectiveness of these products has not been proven.

The most convenient methods of controlling cockroaches are chalk, tablets and traps. In addition, they do not have an unpleasant odor. Concentrated liquid products require dilution, and powder and gels require regular replacement and cleaning of dead insects throughout the apartment.

Smoke products and sprays allow you to cover large areas and destroy the entire colony of pests at once, rather than individual individuals. However, such products are toxic not only to cockroaches, but also to people who may accidentally inhale them.

Analogs from other manufacturers

The chemical industry offers consumers a huge number of products to combat tenacious and practically invincible cockroaches. Their unique ability to adapt to insecticides forces scientists to constantly develop new formulas. The following means are popular among the population:

• Cucaracha;
• Get;
• Tiuram – cable powder;
• Dust Clean House;
• Fas Double.

The range of products is varied, the main thing is to choose the “right” product. It is imperative to fight cockroaches. Insects are a source of dangerous diseases and spoil food. The buyer decides independently which products to give preference to - Chinese or other manufacturers.

Black powder for cockroaches

Separately, it is worth highlighting the Chinese pest control powder Qian Wo Duan (“Clean Kitchen”), which among Russian-speaking consumers was called “powder in a black box.”

The product is an insecticidal dust, which, according to the manufacturer, helps fight not only cockroaches, but also fleas, ants and other insects. A package of the drug weighing 15 g is designed for 12–15 m2 of treated surface.

The method of using the chemical is as follows:

1. Open the package.
2. Divide the contents into 10 parts.
3. Sprinkle the poison in an even layer in the corners of the room, in places where Prussians gather or live.
4. The treatment can be repeated no earlier than 2 months after the first application.

According to the information on the packaging, the product contains chemical compounds: acetic acid salts at a concentration of 1.8% and sulfuramide.

Varieties of dusts

Cockroach powders are produced by domestic and foreign manufacturers. The active components used are identical and are divided into several groups.

• Nerve agents. They enter the insect's body through contact. They block the transmission of nerve impulses, causing paralysis, convulsions, and death. The active components of this group of powders are peritroids. These include permethrin, deltamethrin, lambda-cyhalothrin, cypermethrin. As well as organophosphorus substances - dichlorvos, chlorpyrifos, chlorophos, karbofos.
• Acute intestinal drugs. They disrupt the functioning of the digestive system and nervous system. They enter the body of insects through the esophagus. These include substances from the group of pyrethroids and organophosphorus compounds. Boric acid and borax have only intestinal effects.
• Dehydrating agents – diatomaceous earth. Ecokiller is a prominent representative of this category of drugs.

Terms of use

To ensure that the chemical only harms cockroaches without harming human health, it is important to follow the following safety rules:

1. Use protective gloves (if powder, chalk, gel is used), glasses and a mask (if processing is carried out using a spray).
2. Thoroughly ventilate the room where disinsection occurs.
3. The powders are scattered onto pieces of paper, cardboard, and newspaper. Such improvised traps are placed in corners, under furniture, behind radiators, on cabinets and in other places that are inaccessible to people. Change homemade repellents weekly.
4. When diluting the concentrate, follow the instructions on the packaging: too strong a poison is toxic and can lead to poisoning through inhaled vapors, and a weak poison is useless against insects.
5. After treatment, wet cleaning is carried out no earlier than a week later.
6. When choosing a product, it is worth remembering that the safest insecticides for humans are produced in the form of microcapsules.

The advantages of Chinese cockroach repellents (low price, availability, effectiveness) are offset by the main disadvantage - high toxicity.

If the apartment owners still decide to use a chemical insecticide from the People's Republic of China, then they need to seriously worry about the safety of all family members and pets during and after treatment.

Reviews

Unpleasant cockroaches in the apartment
Katerina, Vladivostok: “Uninvited guests appeared in the apartment - Prussians. Previously, we used the services of special services. After the specialists arrive, you have to sit outside for at least half a day, washing all the kitchen utensils and the room. Moreover, this pleasure is not cheap, but there will probably be no Prussians for at least six months. Not long ago, “uninvited guests” showed up, I decided to use a bag of “magic powder”, especially since it is not so expensive - 50 rubles. The Prussians managed to capture the entire kitchen area in a short period of time. You come in at night, and a whole horde of “barbels” crawls all over the kitchen, the ceiling, and the dishes. I got tired of looking at it, so I poured the product in places where insects accumulated. The instructions for the product indicate that the pests will disappear in a week. It only took me 1 day. The next day after treatment, the number of individuals decreased significantly. A day later, everyone disappeared. The product is miraculous, I was pleasantly surprised.”

Violetta, Murmansk: “I went to study in another city, checked into a dormitory, and it was simply infested with cockroaches! I had the temerity to bring them home, and my mother used all sorts of things to poison them, folk devices, and various crayons... everything was empty. I read on the Internet about the “Chinese poison” - they ordered it, it was delivered to us and they started persecuting us. They gradually destroyed everyone, I’m glad mom isn’t angry anymore!”

Important! Obviously, the most effective cockroach poisons are available only to professional pest control teams.
For home use, you can use a wide arsenal of high-quality products that can protect your home from unwanted guests for a long time.
