Cucaracha - a remedy for bedbugs and cockroaches, instructions for use

General information about the drug

Cucaracha has a detrimental effect on insects, thanks to two substances that are present in its composition. These components have proven themselves over a long period of operation.

1. Cypermethrin. This component has been isolated by chemists from certain plant species. Bedbugs cannot get used to this substance, but for humans this poison is relatively safe.
2. Malathion. Helps enhance the effect of the first component several times. It is converted in the body of the parasite into a toxic substance, which kills the bug.

The combination of components of the drug Cucaracha for bedbugs has a paralyzing effect on parasites. The drug can be used not only in apartments and houses, but also in children's and medical institutions. It is important to understand that eggs and larvae of bedbugs are not destroyed, no matter how much substance is in the solution. Therefore, additional treatment should be carried out after 14 days to kill newly hatched parasites.

Security measures

• The drug is a toxic insecticide that is dangerous to people and animals. If used incorrectly at home, it can cause great harm to health. Symptoms such as dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, convulsions, loss of coordination, and others may occur. If any of the symptoms appear, you should immediately consult a doctor.
• The drug is dangerous for another reason. The fact is that it contains malathion, which has the ability to accumulate in the body and act as a carcinogen. When repeatedly introduced into the body, it causes the appearance of malignant tumors.
• In addition, the toxic chemical is dangerous not only for people and animals, but also for fish and other aquatic inhabitants. Therefore, after treatment, the remaining solution cannot be poured into sewers, reservoirs, or simply onto the street. You will need to contact a specialized service and clarify the disposal procedure.
• At the first stage of treatment, it is imperative to prepare the living space for the disinfestation procedure. Hide food, dishes, kitchen utensils. Also remove towels and personal hygiene products. If you have an aquarium, then it is better to take it out of the room for a while; when this is not possible, then be sure to turn off the compressor and cover the aquarium with a lid. All residents and animals must leave the premises, only the one carrying out the procedure should remain.
• Be sure to wear overalls, safety glasses, gloves and a respirator. If you don’t have overalls, you should wear pants and a long-sleeve shirt. Clothes after the procedure should be washed and dried outside. Protective equipment should be used during the solution preparation procedure and not removed until processing is completed.
• As soon as the processing is completed, you need to leave the apartment. It is correct to leave the apartment overnight, but in cases where this is not possible, people do not enter the apartment for several hours. Upon returning, the apartment must be well ventilated, it is advisable to create a draft so that the insecticide vapors disappear. Dangerous malathion vapors disappear within a few hours, so it is so important not to stay indoors during this period. The applied insecticide will be effective for 23 weeks.
• Also, upon return, in addition to ventilation, be sure to carry out wet cleaning. All accessible surfaces must be washed. The product should remain only in hard-to-reach places where it will be inaccessible to children and pets. Wet cleaning is carried out using a solution of soda and soap, which neutralizes the effect of chemicals.

What is Cucaracha?

The product was produced in Russia, has a wide spectrum of action and is available in the form of powders, gels and emulsions. As stated on the label, Cucaracha is used to kill virtually any type of harmful insect.

Description

Neither gels nor powders are suitable for fighting bedbugs, so in the future we will consider the liquid form.

The instructions for the drug specifically indicate that only liquid concentrate is used to combat bedbugs.

The emulsion itself is a blue or yellow concentrate. The insecticides included in the composition give the solution a pronounced unpleasant odor. Manufacturers produce the emulsion in bottles with a volume of 0.05 liters for residential premises and in canisters with a capacity of 1.0 and 5.0 liters for professional processing on an industrial scale.

The manufacturer warns against counterfeits: the largest form of the original Cucaracha product is bottled in 5-liter canisters

Compound

The active substances in the drug are:

• Cypermethrin - 20%. A third generation substance developed on the basis of pyrethrum. The insecticide has a nerve-paralytic effect, to which bedbugs are not able to develop an addiction. The period of active action lasts up to 40 days, the substance is resistant to oxygen, high temperatures and sunlight.
• Malathion - 10%. It multiplies the effect of cypermethrin, turning into an instantly acting poison in the insect's body. Active for 2–3 hours, then the effect weakens.

Malathion is another name for the long-known karbofos.

How does it work on bedbugs?

Both active substances included in the preparation Cucaracha affect adult insects and their larvae. Under the influence of toxic components, the instinct of self-preservation disappears in bedbugs and orientation in space is disrupted. Insects crawl out of the cracks and receive an even larger dose of poison.

When contacted with adult pests, the drug acts instantly

The drug destroys a single insect almost instantly. The death of all larvae and adult pests in the treated area occurs within 2–3 hours. It is worth considering that both active substances are not able to penetrate under the shell of the egg, so the product is not effective against nests of pests.

The durable shell of bedbug eggs prevents the drug from affecting pest embryos

However, due to its long period of activity, Cucaracha is able to destroy insects as they hatch. Since bedbugs do not develop habituation, new generations of pests fall under the influence of the toxic substance in the same way and die.

The drug Cucaracha is designed to combat bedbugs within a month after treatment

Toxicity

The insecticides included in the preparation Cucaracha belong to hazard class 3 (moderate danger). For warm-blooded animals, including humans, this means low toxicity. They are easily removed from the body and do not actually accumulate.

Karbofos (malathion) is an organophosphorus compound recognized as carcinogenic.

Despite the low toxicity, the use of the drug is allowed only with the use of protective equipment. The manufacturer also warns about the possibility of individual intolerance to the components of the drug.

Doctors do not recommend using chemicals for people prone to allergic reactions.

Efficiency

As we have already found out, the drug shows excellent results in the fight against adult insects and their larvae. However, the product is not capable of destroying bedbug eggs, which affects the overall assessment of effectiveness.

Several applications with Cucaracha may be required to kill the entire bedbug population.

The greatest effectiveness can be achieved through repeated use of the drug.

Description of the drug Cucaracha against cockroaches in the house

The popularity of the drug Cucaracha is due to its lethal composition. The compound of malathion and cypermethrin turns into a highly toxic substance for all insects. The first component is aimed at blocking nerve impulses, enhancing the effect of cypermethrin.

It, in turn, blocks the functioning of the nervous system, paralyzing the insect. Contact with the solution and its entry into the gastrointestinal tract is guaranteed to lead to death.

A big plus in using this remedy against cockroaches is that it acts instantly. The additional effect is reduced to the spread of the insecticide in the nests. Cockroaches carry active substances on their feet, infecting the entire colony. In addition to direct contact with the gastrointestinal tract, entry into the respiratory system is fatal for all insects.

Cucaracha is available in plastic bottles of 50 ml and 1 liter in the form of a concentrate. The finished insecticidal solution has a sharp, specific odor, but after a couple of hours of ventilation it completely disappears.

The only peculiarity of its action is its inactivity against insect eggs. For a long-term effect, you will have to treat the room after 13-15 days.

Composition and properties of the product

Produced by Russian manufacturers. It can be used to kill not only bedbugs, but also fleas, ticks, cockroaches, and ants. “Cucaracha” helps to clear insects from not only residential, but also industrial premises.

Cucaracha insecticide is a strong drug. It contains two powerful substances that effectively and permanently destroy insects.

• 20% concentration of cypermethrin. This substance has a contact-intestinal effect. In order for insects to feel the effect of the drug, they need to crawl over the place where the drug is located. Cypermethrin is a long-acting substance, up to 30 days. Therefore, the remedy for bugs Cucaracha is a long-acting product.
• Another potent component is malathion at a 10% concentration. It has a strong effect on the nervous system of the bug, causing paralysis, then death.

Mechanism of action

Thanks to the active substances that are included in the composition, the mechanism of action is quite simple, but at the same time very effective. It is as follows: when the drug is on the surface, the cockroach comes into contact with it, and the active substances remain on the chitinous shell. After this, the pesticide begins to act on nerve impulses. First, the cockroach is paralyzed, and then death occurs. The period from infection with poison to death takes several minutes. Pests also transmit the substance to each other through contact, and when they get into nests, they infect a large number of individuals.

After application to the surface, the active components are most effective for the first two hours. But the effectiveness does not decrease immediately, it persists for five weeks, it’s just that the activity of the components gradually decreases. If correct and complete treatment of the room is carried out, then it is possible to get rid of colonies in one procedure.

Remember that working with the product is only possible when using protective equipment. Be sure to protect your skin and respiratory system.

Release form and mechanism of action

The chemical insect control agent is produced in Russia in the form of a concentrated liquid. Basically, the liquid is packaged in dark bottles of 50 ml, but there is a release form in large volumes - 1 and 5 liters. As a rule, such volumes are intended for special services. The concentrated liquid is used to prepare the active solution. To cope with bedbugs, it is enough to dilute 2.5 ml of this product in 1 liter of warm water.

The insecticide has a contact-intestinal effect. It contains two components - cypermethrin and malathion. This combination of active ingredients allows you to obtain the maximum effect, characterized by the rapid destruction of bedbugs and other dangerous insects.

Advantages and disadvantages

The remedy for bedbugs, Cucaracha, has earned a large number of positive reviews. Among the advantages, users note its high efficiency, as well as reasonable price. This is a fairly budget option, suitable for any wallet. At the same time, the product is easily accessible; it can be bought in hardware stores and ordered online.

Sold in 50 ml bottles, which are convenient for household use. A volume of 1 liter is suitable for industrial premises.

For all its effectiveness, Cucaracha according to its characteristics is not a lethal poison for humans, so it can be used at home, without the involvement of special organizations. Any adult who has read the instructions can dilute the drug and treat the entire room. In addition, Cucaracha helps to poison fleas, bedbugs, cockroaches, flies and ticks.

One of the disadvantages is the very strong and unpleasant smell of the working solution. You should wear a mask when cleaning the premises, and it is better for household members to move out to relatives or friends for a couple of days. You can return after the room has been completely ventilated. The disadvantage is that you will have to prepare the working solution yourself. You also need to pour it into the bottle yourself.

The drug is toxic and can be dangerous to humans, so it is important to follow all safety rules when treating the premises. You also need to dispose of leftovers yourself and cannot simply pour them into the toilet.

Place of sale and price

You can purchase this product in specialized stores, and also order it in online stores. The cost will always depend on the place of sale; on average, the price for a 50 ml bottle will be 200 rubles.

Let's look at the pros and cons of cucarachi

The advantages include:

• It is effective and fast-acting; results are noticeable within half an hour after treatment.
• Prolonged action; the activity of the pesticide is not affected by temperature, sunlight and other external factors.
• Quite economical, for example, a 50 ml bottle is more than enough to carry out a full treatment in a 2-room apartment.
• It is capable of destroying not only cockroaches, but also parasites such as ticks, bedbugs and fleas.

Regarding the disadvantages, we can highlight the following:

• It is necessary to prepare a solution.
• Has a strong unpleasant odor.
• Has no effect on egg laying.
• Dangerous for people and animals.

Which areas should be treated with Cucaracha?

First of all, places where a large concentration of insects is suspected can be treated.

Should be carefully processed:

• bottom surfaces of mattresses;
• back walls of sofas, armchairs, sideboards;
• cracks in the walls and floors, baseboards, holes;
• carpets, frames, photographs, tapestries that hang on the walls. It is worth treating their back surface.

After carefully treating the room, you should leave it for three to four hours. Then you need to open the windows and doors and ventilate the room well. Surfaces in the apartment should be washed with soap and water so that the poison does not remain on them.

It will not be possible to remove all bedbugs during the first baiting. Therefore, after two weeks the procedure will have to be repeated. If this is not done, new bugs will appear that were originally in the eggs. It’s better not to be lazy and treat all hard-to-reach places, because these are where insects like to accumulate.

How dangerous is it for people and animals?

How dangerous a drug can be for the health of a person or animal depends on how long the person inhaled the vapors of the substance, whether the substance came into contact with the skin or mucous membranes, as well as on individual intolerance to specific components.

• If the diluted emulsion gets on the skin, nothing bad will happen.
• If the substance comes into contact with the skin in large quantities, mild itching and redness may occur.
• Inhalation of solution vapors outside of spraying may cause mild cramps and sore throat. No negative effects on the respiratory system were detected.
• If the drug is swallowed or gets into the eyes or mucous membranes, urgent rinsing . The drug belongs to the third, moderately dangerous class of chemicals.
• Inhalation of the solution from the spray can cause serious harm to the respiratory system and overall health.

Attention! Persons under 18 years of age, pregnant women and people with asthma are not allowed to perform pest control work.

Instructions for use

When it is planned to treat an object with a toxic substance, it is necessary to prepare the contaminated premises. In this case, you need to follow the recommendations:

• furniture is moved away from the walls, in this way access to the rear walls and baseboards is provided;
• the dishes are taken out of rooms where bedbugs live or covered with film;
• Products should not be at home during processing, because poison can penetrate under the polyethylene through the slightest leaks or damage;
• the mattress needs to be removed from the bed; it is installed near the wall, which makes handling easier;
• the sofa can be disassembled if possible;
• paintings and other interior items are removed from the walls, pests often live on the back wall;
• provide access to the joints of the wallpaper if the coating has peeled off somewhere;
• the carpet should be taken outside; if it shows signs of bedbugs, it is recommended to treat it too;
• cabinets are emptied;
• it is necessary to open the sockets.

To prevent insects from escaping during treatment, it is also recommended to block their escape routes: ventilation ducts, cracks in window frames, doorways, ceilings between floors in areas where pipes are installed. All places where cracks are visible are covered with tape. Then it can be removed.

But it’s better to first carry out minor cosmetic repairs: fill all the cracks with mortar, restore the frames, install fine mesh on the ventilation hole.

How to dilute the drug Cucaracha

The recommended ratio is 2.5 g per 1 liter of water. Moreover, the manufacturer states that the drug exhibits better properties if you use warm water to prepare the working solution. The liquid should not be hot, because this increases the volatility of the active components. In addition, insecticides lose their properties faster when boiling water is added.

If the possibility of using Cucaracha against bedbugs is being considered, how to dilute it - the answer to this question also depends on the degree of infestation of the apartment. When there are too many insects, it is permissible to slightly increase the dosage of the concentrate.

However, often use

Such a remedy is not recommended after increasing the content of toxic substances, since this increases the risk of insects developing resistance to the poison. The working solution must be used immediately after preparation.

Follow safety precautions when using insecticide Galina Venidiktova, 39 years old, Khabarovsk When I treated the apartment with Cucaracha, the solution quickly ran out. I began to study the issue, and it turned out that on soft surfaces the consumption increases. Now I immediately make more product. Alexandra Khorosheeva, 45 years old, Novomoskovsk Due to the fact that she did not fully study the instructions, she made a mistake while preparing the solution. Soon I noticed that the bedbugs had not disappeared. I started to look into it, and there it was necessary to pour the concentrate into warm water, because this increases the volatility of the product. After this the result was good.

What areas require treatment?

To ensure high-quality spraying of the working solution, you need to know where insects prefer to live:

• under the mattress, at its seams and even inside if the material is damaged;
• inside the sofa: in the folds of the upholstery, under it, on the wooden frame;
• on the back surfaces of cabinets, interior items that are located on the walls near the bed;
• inside children's toys if their integrity is compromised.;

• behind the baseboards;
• from the back of the carpet;
• inside lighting fixtures (in the box containing the wires, but not in the lampshades);
• with severe infestation, parasites are rarely found on curtains, under the windowsill;
• inside sockets.

Treat areas in the apartment with insecticide according to this scheme

It is important to understand that bedbugs cannot chew material, so they penetrate into ready-made holes on the surface of pillows, mattresses, toys and other products. Moreover, parasites live in the room where a person sleeps.

If the neighboring room is not used for overnight stays, insects will settle here only if the apartment is heavily infested.

Disinfestation stages

When you plan to use the Cucarach remedy for bedbugs, the instructions for use are studied before starting work:

1. Preparation for processing.
2. Performing general cleaning, which will remove dust and thereby increase the effectiveness of the product. In addition, this measure allows you to detect nests of parasites.
3. Close windows and doors.
4. Animals are removed from the premises; it is also recommended to remove the aquarium, but you can simply cover it with glass and turn off the compressor. Children should not be in the room either.
5. Prepare the solution in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.
6. Perform processing.
7. You need to leave the premises for several hours.
8. The room is ventilated, and it is advisable to pass a powerful stream of air through it, for which windows and doors are opened wide, even in neighboring rooms. Ventilation duration is at least 30 minutes.
9. After 1.5 weeks, it is recommended to repeat the procedure if new bites appear on the body.

A flying cockroach from an insectophobe's nightmares

This post has already been read 6348 times!

Good day to my dear readers. I’m sure each of us has heard the funny word “cucaracha” at least once. This is the name of an effective and easy-to-use remedy for cockroaches, and it is also the name of a humorous song in Spanish. “Cucaracha” translated from Spanish means “cockroach” - this is what government troops were called during the Mexican Revolution at the beginning of the 20th century.

In addition, the cucaracha is the name of the flying American cockroach. So, let's find out what Cucaracha is, where you can find the flying giant insect and how to use the drug.

A flying cockroach from an insectophobe's nightmares

Imagine for a moment an ordinary and familiar Prussian. Introduced? Did you feel disgust and a desire to quickly kill the bastard? Now sympathize with the Americans, who have the same one, only flying and up to 5 cm long. This creature, called the “cucaracha,” is actually nothing more than an American cockroach. Africa is considered its homeland, and since 1695 the flying giant has lived in North America.

Fortunately, we don’t have any of these here, but if you’re planning to travel around America or Europe, be on your guard and don’t accidentally bring a couple of individuals home - our compatriots will have enough of ordinary cockroaches. Below I will tell you how, using a product named after a comic song and an American cockroach, you can successfully fight against domestic Prussians.

How does this product with a strange name work?

The drug contains two active substances - cypermethrin and malathion. The first is a powerful pesticide that poisons the body by penetrating through the chitinous integument. Malathion accelerates the action of cypermethrin, leaving the individual no chance. In addition, the product sticks to the legs and abdomen of the cockroach, so one individual upon returning to the nest can infect the entire population. Death occurs on average half an hour after contact with the poison. As you can see, Cucaracha helps to quickly and effectively destroy insects in the apartment. Now I will tell you how to use this product and in what form the manufacturer produces it.

We read on the topic: boric acid against cockroaches, recipe with egg, advice from grandmothers

Cucaracha emulsion

The most common format of the product is an emulsion, packaged in bottles of 50 and 1000 ml. A small bottle will be enough to treat an apartment, and a large bottle will be useful for disinsection of large industrial premises. Each package contains instructions, but just in case, we’ll talk in detail about how to use Cucaracha against cockroaches:

• First, prepare the apartment for disinfestation: take children and pets away, hide toys and dishes, take away plants and flowers, put food in the refrigerator.
• Before use, dilute the emulsion in water in the following proportion: 3 ml of emulsion per 1 liter of water. It's better to take cool water.
• After the solution is ready, do not forget to wear personal protective equipment: gloves, goggles, a respirator and clothing that covers the entire body.
• Are you packed? Let's start processing. Using a spray bottle, we apply the solution in corners, on baseboards, on the back surfaces of furniture, in the ventilation shaft and sewer riser - in general, in all those places where cockroaches live or can crawl.
• After all insect habitats have been generously sprayed with the solution, you need to open the windows and leave the apartment for 4-5 hours.

Cucaracha is highly poisonous to people and animals, so do a thorough cleaning when you return. Do not forget to listen to how you feel: nausea, dizziness, headache and weakness can become symptoms of intoxication. In this case, you must immediately seek medical help.

Deadly Cucaracha granules

In addition to the emulsion, the product is produced in granular form in packages of 30 and 100 g. I have recommendations for you on the use of granules to achieve a quick effect:

• Put on gloves and carefully open the packet of poison.
• Place a few granules (about a teaspoon) on a backing (you can use a piece of paper, but usually special plastic backings are sold complete with the poison).
• Leave poisonous treats in places where cockroaches are likely to be: near the trash can, on kitchen cabinets, under the refrigerator, etc.

Read on the topic: Baron cockroach repellent is inexpensive and safe

One individual, having been in contact with the granules, will provoke an entire epidemic, destroying the entire population of cockroaches. The complete death of all individuals will take two to three days.

Please note - the product is highly toxic, therefore it is prohibited:

• pour the granules into the drain;
• leave poison in places where children and pets can find it;
• use food containers to place granules - such dishes will have to be thrown away;
• work with granules without appropriate protection - rubber gloves, a respirator and long sleeves.

Cucaracha - all the pros and cons

Like any pest control product, Cucaracha has a number of advantages and disadvantages. Let's first consider the positive aspects of the product:

• Maximum effectiveness - the poison leaves no chance for a single individual thanks to the combination of two active substances in its composition.
• Speed ​​of disinsection - complete destruction of all cockroaches will take a maximum of three days.
• Cheap and accessible - the drug is sold in hardware stores and is inexpensive.
• Lack of smell - Cucaracha has such a subtle aroma that you will only notice it if you sniff it specifically. As you understand, it is prohibited to do this, otherwise you risk getting poisoned.
• Versatility - with the help of Cucarachi you can defeat not only cockroaches, but also woodlice, silverfish, bedbugs, ants and, in general, any insects that have entered your home. As you can see, the product has all the qualities of an ideal pest control agent. Now let's look at its disadvantages.
• The first and main drawback is that Cucaracha is very toxic. If your pet licks the solution or eats a few granules, your pet could be killed. A person should exercise no less caution to avoid the hazardous health consequences of intoxication.
• Inconvenient to use - the emulsion must be diluted with water, look for a suitable container; The granules need to be poured onto a substrate and placed around the apartment. This is a serious drawback, especially compared to modern insecticidal traps, which simply need to be taken out of the package and left indoors.

Read on the topic: smoke bombs from cockroaches are one hundred percent destruction

Actually, these are all arguments against the use of this product in the fight against domestic insects - Cucarachi has many more advantages. Most importantly, do not forget about personal protective equipment, carefully read the instructions for use on the packaging and strictly follow all the manufacturer’s recommendations.

After disinfestation, do not forget to ventilate and wash the apartment, and also listen to your health - if the alarming symptoms of poisoning do not go away for more than two hours, this is a serious reason to consult a doctor to prevent serious health consequences.

Preparing the premises

• Remove all dust and cobwebs, then wet clean. The fact is that bedbugs choose hard-to-reach places for their homes, and lay eggs there. Therefore, such a thorough cleaning will help remove a certain number of pests and open access to the surface so that the substance can adhere well to it.
• Remove and wash bed linen, bedspreads, curtains, curtains and other textiles, then be sure to iron them. Go through all the things in the closet, look for the presence of larvae, if any are found, the items must be washed and ironed.
• Empty the room as much as possible, put all things, including from closets, in bags and close them, it is advisable to take them out of the apartment.
• Move cabinets, beds, cabinets away from the walls so that there is access to them and to the baseboards.
• Remove mattresses and pillows, carefully examine the places of folds and locks.
• Be sure to hide food, dishes, and kitchen utensils.

Treatment

When the procedure is carried out, only the person carrying out the disinfestation should be in the apartment. It is also unacceptable that there were animals in the room.

You need to pay attention to the following places:

• Skirting boards around the entire perimeter;
• Back walls of cabinets and other furniture;
• Backs of paintings, wall clocks and other decorative items;
• Radiators and window sills;
• Bottoms of the bed.

Remember that they got into your apartment somehow, and there can be a lot of them, doors, windows, cracks in the walls, ventilation holes, so they should also be treated.

After processing

As soon as the procedure is completed, you need to change clothes and leave the room; there should be no draft in it, so close all windows and doors. Ideally, the apartment is left for a day, but if this is not possible, you can return after 4 hours.

When you arrive at your apartment, be sure to open the windows and create drafts to get rid of toxic fumes. Wear gloves and a respirator, use a vacuum cleaner to collect pests, they should be burned.

Next, you need to wash the surfaces with which you will come into contact. Tables, chairs, door handles, etc. To do this, you will need to prepare a soap solution, this is an alkali that very effectively neutralizes toxic chemicals. For this solution we use water and laundry soap.

Most often, re-treatment is required, which is carried out a week later.

What you need to know

There is always a chance that bedbugs will reappear in your home after some time.

This can happen for several reasons:

• An incorrectly prepared solution that did not have the proper concentration.
• Not enough area processed;
• The bedbugs came from neighbors;
• Young individuals appeared that hatched from eggs.

For these reasons, repeated procedures are performed. Remember that preventative action will be required. Another point worth considering is when the bedbugs have disappeared, but after some time you notice one or more individuals, take action immediately, do not hope that they will just go away. Slowing down will lead to their proliferation, then it will be much more difficult to cope with them.

Read more about using Cucaracha

Cucaracha has a pronounced insectoacaricidal effect against cockroaches, bedbugs, fleas, flies, 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 diluted with water at room temperature, stirring evenly. Calculation of the amount of concentrate required to prepare the working emulsion is given in the table.

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 treating 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.

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 20-25 days.

Safety precautions when using the drug

Cucaracha is a poisonous substance that also causes harm to humans. If you inhale the fumes, you can become poisoned. Especially if protective equipment is not used. Signs of poisoning are the following symptoms: dizziness, nausea, vomiting, weakness, headache, lethargy.

If you suspect poisoning, you should rinse your mouth with a soda solution and drink ten tablets of activated carbon. Drink one or two glasses of water.

The remainder of the unused product is poured away from people and living creatures. You shouldn't put it down the drain. The drug should not be stored in a diluted form, as it loses its properties.

Disinfection service workers use all methods of protection, and you should not neglect this either. You will need gloves, a mask or respirator, goggles and protective clothing. Then all this will need to be eliminated. The gauze mask should be multi-layered.

Can the drug harm a person?

After treatment, the drug “Cucaracha” almost instantly destroys insects. The high toxicity of this product allows you to achieve this effect. According to the international scale, which determines the degree of danger of the drug, “Cucaracha” belongs to the second class. That is why its improper use can negatively affect human health. Serious problems can arise not only in children, but also in adults. Exposure to the two active substances in high doses can cause the following symptoms:

• intoxication;
• allergic reactions;
• headache;
• nausea and vomiting;
• dizziness;
• weakness;
• convulsions;
• lethargy;
• deterioration of general condition.

After the treatment process is completed, it is possible that a small amount of the drug will remain in the spray container. It is strictly forbidden to pour it into water bodies. This will have a bad effect on the fish and plants that will be watered with this water. Also, the remains do not need to be poured into the garden or front garden. This may harm the plants.

additional information

This product is not the main one for insect control, so it is not always possible to buy it. It is better to contact specialized stores where such household preparations are sold. Can be purchased online.
