Composition and release forms

• granules are recommended for use against cockroaches. The product is sold in tubes weighing 50 and 100 g. The drug does not require preliminary preparation before use. Its active component is chlorpyrifos at a concentration of 0.5%. In addition, the granules contain an attractant that attracts the attention of insects.

Granules are recommended to be used as an additional means for exterminating cockroaches, and also as a prophylactic agent. For disinfestation, the drug must be poured onto paper and bait should be placed in places where cockroaches are likely to be localized. For 10 sq. there should be 5 of them. The death of cockroaches after contact with them occurs within three days. When insects multiply massively, granules are not able to cope with the problem.

• Cucaracha gel helps get rid of cockroaches, silverfish, and woodlice. This insecticidal agent is a thick transparent substance with a specific odor. Available in metal tubes of 30 ml. The active component of the product is imidacloprid, the mass fraction of which is 0.5%. The maximum result of disinfestation when using the gel is achieved after 2 weeks.
• Cucaracha spray is designed to kill bed bugs, cockroaches, and fleas. This form of insecticide release has a rapid effect. The product should be sprayed in places where parasites and pests are likely to live. The product is ready for use. The active components in the spray are tetramethrin and alphacypermethrin.

This product is sold in spray bottles. The first results after using the spray become noticeable after 2-4 hours, but the drug does not have a long-term protective effect. The spray is recommended for use in case of mass reproduction of insects, but combined with other forms of insecticide to prevent re-infestation.

How to use the Cucaracha insecticide?

The drug is used in the form of an aqueous solution at the rate of 2.5 g of Cucarachi per 1 liter of cool water. The entire solution must be used at once, stirring constantly to maintain a uniform concentration. To treat 1 square meter, 50 ml of solution is required. On porous surfaces, the consumption doubles. For ease of processing, it is recommended to use a spray bottle. The most intensive treatment is required to treat food trails and places where insects accumulate in furniture, pantries, under baseboards, in cracks and window frames. Depending on the type of insect and the affected area, carefully treat:

• backing for mattresses and furniture;
• the backs of sofas and armchairs adjacent to the wall;
• carpets and rugs;
• back surface of paintings and tapestries.

The treated room must be left for three to four hours, after which the room should be well ventilated for 2-3 hours. Use soap and water to remove poison from surfaces. The drug only affects adults. To destroy the new generation that hatches from the larvae, repeat the treatment after 2 weeks.

Operating principle

All forms of release of the insecticidal product Cucarach against bedbugs, cockroaches and fleas have a contact effect. The active components, getting on the paws and body of the insect, quickly penetrate inside and block the transmission of nerve impulses from the brain to the limbs. This initially causes paralysis and then death of the pests.

Gel

The peculiarity of the gel, granules and concentrate is that the poison has a delayed effect. And the infected insect still remains active for some time. This facilitates the transmission of poison to other individuals, and causes mass death of parasites.

Instructions for use

These insecticides are characterized by a high level of toxicity towards parasitic pests. And in order to quickly get rid of cockroaches, bedbugs and fleas in an apartment using Cucaracha preparations, you need to strictly follow the instructions for their use.

How to prepare a working solution?

Cucaracha in the form of a concentrate must be diluted with cold water before use. For bedbugs, add 3.5 ml of the drug per 1 liter of liquid, and for fleas and cockroaches - 5 ml for the same volume.

Cucaracha concentrate must be diluted with water immediately before disinfestation, since the solution remains active for 6 hours. With longer storage, it loses its insecticidal properties. The solution must be prepared in a plastic container. After mixing until the composition is homogeneous, pour it into a spray bottle.

What areas require treatment?

Cucarach insecticides need to be sprayed, applied and laid out in places where parasites and pests may inhabit and move. In this case, it is necessary to take into account the peculiarities of the lifestyle of the insect being destroyed.

During processing, special attention should be paid to:

• folds in the mattress;
• seams of upholstery of upholstered furniture;
• the backs of a sofa or bed;
• joints of interior parts;
• skirting boards;
• window frames;
• door frames;
• cracks in the floor under the berths;
• reverse side of carpets, paintings;
• water pipe joints;
• a place near the trash can, under the washbasin;
• ventilation vents.

To kill fleas, treat your pet's bedding, baseboards, and the floor near it with a spray or diluted concentrate. It is prohibited to use this insecticide to poison parasites directly on a pet.

Disinfestation stages

According to the instructions for use, before using Cucaracha against cockroaches, bedbugs and fleas, you must first prepare the room. To do this, you need to vacuum the apartment and carry out wet cleaning. It is also recommended to cover aquariums, remove animals, take out flowers, pack clothes and soft toys in plastic bags, hide dishes in cabinets, and food in airtight containers.

Corpses

Also, to increase the efficiency of disinfestation, you need to put multi-layer gauze on the ventilation hatches. This will prevent the possible migration of insects to neighbors, and subsequently from them.

The solution prepared from the concentrate and Cucaracha spray should be sprayed from a distance of 20 cm from the surface. Consumption rate – 50 ml per 1 sq. m, and with an increased number of insects it needs to be doubled. The treatment should be carried out with the windows open due to the specific smell, and after disinfestation is completed, the room should be closed for 4 hours.

Then the apartment must be ventilated with a draft for 2 hours. And only after this should you wipe the working surfaces with soap and soda solution to neutralize the effect of the insecticide.

The use of Cucaracha against cockroaches in the form of gel and granules does not require preliminary preparation of the room. When using these forms of insecticide, you also do not need to leave the apartment during the treatment.
