Pros and cons of the drug Cifox

Like any other insecticidal drug, Tsifoks has its advantages and disadvantages.

It has a lot of advantages, and they are as follows:

Long term impact. The product is capable of destroying even those insects that were in the eggs during the disinfestation period.
A universal drug for many types of harmful insects, including cockroaches.
Low price and economical use. Since the drug must be diluted, for a small amount the buyer receives a huge amount of solution, with which large areas can be treated repeatedly.
High speed of impact. Cockroaches begin to die within half an hour after the procedure.
Does not leave marks in areas of treatment. The invisible structure of the emulsion is invisible on furniture and floors.

Among the disadvantages are the following:

the drug must first be prepared in compliance with exact proportions;
quite high toxicity, which requires caution during processing;
cockroaches quickly adapt to the toxic substance and do not react to it during subsequent disinsections.

Despite the shortcomings, the drug is very popular among consumers, since it has helped many of them get rid of cockroaches in the house.

How to prepare your home for insect baiting

First you need to decide on the place where you will need to spray the product in large quantities. Bedbugs know how to hide, but in most cases they choose standard places located in close proximity to the bedroom: in paper and wooden furnishings.

It is necessary to treat the entire area of the room, since bedbugs quickly move from their homes. If there are places on the wall with peeled wallpaper, there is a high probability that insects are there.

Other useful tips:

You cannot harass if there are children's toys or hygiene items in the room.
Food is hidden in the refrigerator or put in plastic bags. The dishes are wrapped in cling film and removed from the room being treated.
If possible, all fabric items are removed and washed at 95 degrees.
Electrical appliances and furniture are moved to the center of the room to free up wall space and access to baseboards. If possible, all equipment is removed or covered to prevent liquids from coming into contact with electrical parts.
All contents are removed from the cabinets. It is recommended to disassemble all furniture for thorough processing.
The room is de-energized because the anti-bedbug solution Tsifoks is sprayed inside the switches and sockets.

Correct treatment of the room

The treatment procedure itself may differ and depends primarily on the degree of infestation of the apartment. For example, if cockroaches have just begun to appear and there are not very many of them yet, then you can get by with treating the kitchen, bath, and toilet. But if there are a lot of them in the room, then a full treatment should be carried out, absolutely the entire room.

Remember that in case of severe infestation, you will need to pay great attention to hard-to-reach places and furniture. When properly treated, kitchen cabinets can be disassembled, since it is in the hidden voids that cockroaches lay their eggs.

Upholstered furniture is also treated; when applied to highly absorbent surfaces, 2 times more solution is required.

Do not forget that you will have to work with poison, which is dangerous not only for insects, but also for people and animals. Be sure to follow all safety precautions and follow the instructions.

Preparing the premises

This stage is especially important, since a properly prepared room will ensure the greatest effectiveness of the treatment. In addition, it is required in order to protect people living in the apartment from exposure to toxic chemicals.

To do this you will need:

It is necessary to hide all food products; use airtight containers and bags.
Be sure to hide dishes, kitchen utensils, and empty cabinets in the kitchen.
We also remove personal hygiene products, towels, and bedding.
Remove all things from surfaces so that the insecticide does not get on them,
You will need to seal all the cracks and eliminate leaks.
Move the furniture away from the walls so we can gain access to the baseboards.
Next, get rid of the cobwebs, sweep, wipe off the dust and be sure to carry out wet cleaning.

You can start preparing the solution.

Preparation of the solution

Read the instructions for use. Be sure to use protective equipment. It is necessary to wear a respirator, safety glasses and gloves.

If upholstered furniture is being processed, then it is necessary to apply twice as much solution.

Mandatory events
