Composition of FAS products against cockroaches, method of influencing the pest
The manufacturer uses two main components as the active ingredient.
Zeta Cypermethrin
In the amount of 1%. A repellent with a complex composition of the third generation, effective against many flying and crawling pests and farts. The destructive effect is aimed at adult individuals, but does not affect eggs covered with a dense shell.
Refers to poisons of contact and intestinal action, the action of which begins after it enters the body of an insect or enters the body when eating bait.
It has the maximum effect on the body in the first 24 hours after spraying the room, and has a high residual effect throughout the month.
Thiamethoxam
At a concentration of 4%. A contact-acting drug that has a neuroparalytic effect on the insect body. Belongs to the group of neonicotinoids and is not addictive.
When ingested by an insect, it blocks the passage of nerve impulses, causing slowness, lack of coordination, paralysis and death.
The combination of two highly toxic agents allows you to destroy insects that have developed insensitivity to various poisons. The high concentration of active agents allows you to destroy the insect population quickly and effectively, but requires professional skills to use.
Release forms
The product line under the FAS brand includes;
- powders for diluting or sprinkling surfaces;
- tablets for preparing solutions;
- gels.
Powder forms are used to prepare solutions of the required concentration; the dilution proportion is contained in the instructions for the drug.
Pills
A form intended for the preparation of solutions that allow the destruction of insects in children's and medical institutions. The shape makes it easy to prepare solutions.
Fas anti-cockroach tablets are commercially available and can be used for self-disinfestation of premises.
Powder
The product is available in two types:
- Super;
- Double.
The high concentration of poison in powders makes them highly effective, but dangerous for humans and pets. Can be used for preparing solutions or used in its original form for sprinkling.
Gel
The gel form is the least toxic to humans. The poisonous substance is in bound form. Affects insects by contact. Can be used in both residential and public spaces.
Gel Fas against cockroaches can be applied to a paper backing and spread around the perimeter of the room. This will make it easier to remove the poison after use.
How does Superface destroy bedbugs?
- Super fas is available in powder form and contains active ingredients, thanks to which it can be easily dissolved in water. This product can be used not only in a room that is infested with bedbugs. The powder perfectly destroys ants, fleas, cockroaches and other unwanted insects.
- By inhaling the smell, bedbugs become very poisoned and die immediately. But the downside of this product is that it is not able to destroy bedbug eggs. Therefore, after a week, it is better to repeat the treatment of the room again. The product is also available in tablet form, but this consumption is less economical.
- In order for the product to be as effective as possible, you need to make a highly concentrated solution. Never leave the package open after use. Try to close it as much as possible until the next disinfestation, if necessary. When opened, all active substances evaporate from the powder very quickly, and when killing bedbugs, the product will no longer be effective. The shelf life of the drug is exactly two years. Therefore, when purchasing, check the production date.

It should be remembered that if you choose an anti-bedbug product in powder form, it must be thoroughly mixed with water. This should be done for about 5 minutes. This way you will achieve the most thorough mixing.

Super-Fas: professional treatment with poison
Pin
A product for the professional destruction of most insects that parasitize a person’s home: cockroaches, ants, bedbugs, spiders, wasps, moths, etc. It is also possible to use it in public institutions (hospitals, children's educational institutions, hotels, restaurants and cafes).
The product is dissolved in water; for ease of use, the powder is packaged in 10 gram bags.

- closed overalls;
- glasses;
- respirator;
- headdress;
- gloves;
- shoe covers.
The employee must be familiar with the instructions and safety rules when working with toxic substances of hazard class 2.
The room is processed according to the following scheme:
- All people, animals, birds, and fish aquariums are removed from the premises;
- carry out inspection and sorting of food products, pack them hermetically;
- do the same with toys, clothes, textiles and other things;
- if the population of cockroaches is large, adjacent rooms must be treated;
- processing is carried out selectively, paying special attention to places where insects are most concentrated - kitchens, water supply and sewer risers, toilets, places where water heating devices are located, garbage chutes;
- close windows and doors and leave the room for 3-4 hours;
- the remaining solution, if there is no planned treatment, is disposed of;
- the room is ventilated, general wet cleaning is carried out for up to 24 hours - surfaces with which people will come into contact are cleaned with a detergent solution. In all other places the drug remains to act on insects;
- Since the poison does not affect cockroach eggs, re-treatment is necessary after 30 days.
The drug is sold through a network of special stores to private and public disinfection enterprises.
Reviews
Galina, Peter:
“We bought an apartment in an old building, the tenants were not very good, they left a lot of cockroaches. No matter what we did, it didn’t help. I had to hire professionals. The parasites disappeared immediately after treatment. And at the same time spiders, flies and bedbugs. This was the best decision."
Olga Krasnodar:
“We have problems every year at the dacha - we poison ants or cockroaches. This year we have Prussians who are incredibly nimble. We bought Super-Fas, diluted it according to the instructions, and sprayed it on. The downside is that it doesn’t ripple easily and you need protective clothing. We did one treatment, then a week later – another one. We’re happy, everything is clean in the kitchen.”
Rules of application
The product is quite effective and can completely exterminate cockroaches in a short amount of time. Instructions for use of Super Fas are on the back of the package:

Olesya, Orsk:
“The neighbors started making repairs, and all their “tenants” rushed to us through the cracks and ventilation. We were not prepared for such an invasion, and the cockroaches quickly took over the territory.
The supermarket recommended FAS, calculated the size of the apartment and bought several packages. We did everything as written in the instructions, but the second treatment was carried out three days later, not a week later. There are no cockroaches yet.”
Anna, Voronezh:
“Cockroaches settled in the dacha, a friend brought FAS powder. We punched holes according to the instructions and sprinkled them everywhere we could. Not only the cockroaches disappeared, but also the wood lice.”

Super effective against bedbugs. Reviews
We've never had a problem with insects in our home, and we never thought we would. Two weeks ago we had guests from out of town. They stayed with us for three days. One day during a conversation they mentioned that they had recently gotten bedbugs, and they asked us what we could recommend. We just shrugged our shoulders and didn’t attach any importance to this conversation. But soon we discovered these unwanted insects in ourselves. After reading reviews on the Internet, we chose Super Fas. No regrets.
Irina, Arkhangelsk
We very often relax with our family in a country house. Therefore, we have been familiar with the problem of insects for a very long time. But we have never encountered bedbugs before. I would never have thought that it would be so difficult to get them out. We've tried everything, both folk remedies and chemical ones, but nothing helps. Then we finally decided to try Super Fas for bedbugs. After just three days, there were much fewer bedbugs.
