Bedbug probe: where to buy and at what price, instructions for use, customer reviews

How to use Sonder correctly

The drug has a powerful effect on bedbugs, and therefore does not require the simultaneous use of auxiliary means and methods. It can be sprayed or applied to surfaces. But, despite these possibilities, it is better to resort to the traditional method - processing with a fine suspension. At home, this is achieved using a spray bottle or a household fog generator.

"Zonder" - composition, mechanism of action, release form

The drug can be purchased in the form of a toxic concentrated liquid. But it is not used in this form, because it leads to human intoxication and increases the cost of purchasing the insecticide, but it is quite expensive. Bottles of different sizes are available for sale: from 50 to 250 ml. For household use, a small bottle is sufficient, since its contents will be diluted with water.

This will allow you to get a large amount of product, which will be enough to clean a 1- or 2-room apartment.

The composition includes several substances that exhibit insecticidal activity. There are other components, they are all important and perform their function. Zonder bedbug repellent contains:

• dicarboximide;
• chlorpyrifos;
• cypermethrin.

The principle of action of each substance is different. They represent different groups of toxic substances. So, the first of the components is a synergist. This type of substance does not exhibit insecticidal activity. Dicaoximide enhances the effect of pyrethrins (natural poisons) and their synthetic analogues - pyrethroids. Thanks to it, various tasks are performed:

• the strength of insecticides increases;
• the risk of insects developing resistance to the products used is reduced.

Chlorpyrifos is an insecticide belonging to the class of organophosphates. Its content in concentrated liquid is 20%. This means that this component has a stronger effect on bedbugs. When it is used, the nervous system of parasites is disrupted.

Chlorpyrifos accelerates the process of phosphorylation of the protein substrate found in nerve tissues.

In this case, a change in the structure of the substance occurs, a loss of properties. With the participation of such a substrate, the process of transmission of nerve impulses is supported. If it loses its properties, then signs of paralysis gradually appear. The reason is overexcitation against the background of convulsive muscle activity. The drug continues to act for 40-70 days.

Another active component (cypermethrin) is a representative of pyrethroids. An insecticide with enteric contact action, like chlorpyrifos. The principle of its operation: upon contact with a toxic substance in the body of parasites, the process of transmission of nerve impulses is disrupted, as a result, paralysis occurs, and the insects die.

Accordingly, both insecticides cause damage to the nervous system, but in different ways.

The drug contains several substances

The first results will be visible within a few hours after treatment.

What points should be considered when dealing with bedbugs?

The bedbug probe helps kill insects at different stages: larvae, adults, nymphs and even eggs.

However, it is necessary to take into account the peculiarities of the composition: cypermethrin does not have the ability to penetrate the protective shell of eggs, and chlorpyrifos, on the contrary, effectively destroys insects at any stage. Given such differences in the principles of action of substances, it is not recommended to treat the room once. Still, it is better to repeat the procedure after 2 weeks, when a new generation of parasites emerges from the eggs.

In addition, they pay attention to cleaning the premises. But this should be done not after, but before the procedure. Thus, the working solution should not mix with dust during processing. This will lead to a decrease in the effectiveness of the drug: micro drops harden when they come into contact with dust particles. It is better to clean the surfaces, then the fine suspension will be deposited on coatings and objects in an even thin layer.

In addition, during cleaning, it becomes possible to find nests of bed bugs hidden in remote places.

The main activities that are carried out are:

• move large furniture further from the walls (it is enough to move the bed, sofa, cabinets, armchairs and cabinets by 10-20 cm);
• provide access to baseboards throughout the room;
• remove paintings, photographs, clocks from the walls;
• turn off the electricity at the switchboard (at the entrance to the apartment or at the entrance);

• prepare hermetically sealed bags for personal items that cannot be processed;
• textiles should be washed, since insect eggs could also remain on the fabric (females of bed parasites lay eggs in the most unexpected places, not always in nests).

When treating with Zonder against bedbugs, there should be no people, especially children, with allergies in the room. They take out the aquarium, plants and take out animals.

Cleaning before treatment will help you find secluded nests of pests

After treatment, you need to wash all items at high temperature.

Zonder - what kind of remedy for bedbugs?

The drug "Zonder" contains three active components and is positioned on the market of similar products as a means for professional treatment of premises against bedbugs, cockroaches and any other pests. Due to its high activity and powerful composition, it is recommended to use this product against insects that are not sensitive to the action of other insecticides.

“Zonder” is produced in the form of a concentrate for aqueous dissolution, which allows it to be used conveniently and to irrigate large areas. The “Zonder” formula against bedbugs is a combined one, because it contains not one, but three components. This:

• Pyrethroid
• Insecticide of the group of organophosphorus compounds
• Synergist (substance for enhancing the action of insecticides)

The effectiveness of insect repellent is due to the fact that insects cannot develop tolerance to such a set of components. In addition, the drug is produced in microencapsulated form, where the working substances do not “float” in the solution in finished form, but are combined into larger particles. This ensures their gradual dissolution and prolonged poisoning effect on parasites. The manufacturer guarantees that the product will work for up to 5-7 weeks and partially retain its effect for 5-6 months.

The effect of “Zonder” on blood-sucking insects is as follows: it has a contact effect, as well as a toxic effect when it enters the gastrointestinal tract. Bedbugs do not feed on food other than blood, so the product can only get into their stomach by accident, for example, when trying to cleanse themselves. But the contact effect of the components works 100% - even through the shell of the bug’s body, the active substances penetrate the body, spread through the blood, and enter the brain. The drug blocks substances responsible for transmitting impulses from the central nervous system, so the bug becomes paralyzed and dies.

The synergist substance in the drug not only enhances the joint work of the two main components. It itself is a contact poison-pesticide and also kills bedbugs.

Thus, the highest effectiveness of the product is due to:

• Long-term influence - new hatched larvae immediately become infected from microcapsules present on surfaces and die
• The number of components - even if bedbugs have developed protection for one of them, the other two will still kill them
• Preventive effect - even if new bedbugs crawl in from neighbors, the drug will have a poisonous effect and will not allow pests to populate the apartment
• Instant work - the product begins to act immediately, and already on the first night after disinfestation you can sleep peacefully

You can use Zonder as a means of combating other parasitic insects

The drug is often used against bedbugs, fleas, ticks - blood-sucking individuals. However, it contains insecticides of universal action that destroy pests of various types: synanthropic, street. Moreover, Zonder eliminates bedbugs and other crawling insects, as well as flying individuals (wasps, flies, etc.). Moreover, for each variety it is proposed to prepare a working solution based on the product, taking into account different proportions.

This will allow you to get the best result.

Harm to human health

Like any chemical, Zonder can affect human health. If a significant amount of the insecticide enters the digestive tract, acute poisoning will occur. If the solution comes into contact with the skin, an allergic reaction may occur. If the treatment is carried out correctly, adhering to all safety rules, it is very difficult to harm your body.

Crib

“Before starting pest control, remove children and animals from the premises. Houseplants must be taken out or covered with film. While the chemical is being sprayed, the aquarium must be tightly closed and the compressor turned off. Zonder is highly toxic to aquatic life."

To summarize this topic, let’s note the main thing! The drug Zondar is an effective, professional and long-term remedy in the fight against insects. If you have already tried a chemical solution in practice, write your opinion in the comments. For those who are just starting to fight bedbugs, you need to remember:

1. Do not neglect chemical protection measures.
2. Carefully read the instructions for toxic solutions.
3. Keep children away from insecticides.

How much does Zonder cost and where can I buy it?

The drug is more expensive than many analogues. It can be ordered through an online store; it is more difficult to find the product in offline retail outlets (hardware stores). Some price offers are presented in the table below:

In the regions (Ekaterinburg, Perm, Nizhny Novgorod and other cities) it is much more difficult to find the drug Zonder for bedbugs. You need to look for it through online stores. Most often, delivery to other cities is carried out from Moscow.

Advantages and disadvantages

Positive qualities of Zonder:

• long period of action - up to six months, during this period of time the drug will retain its properties, but its strength may decrease;
• versatility: the product has a detrimental effect on various insects, it is used to protect objects for any purpose;
• ease of use: prepare a working solution, spray the substance using a spray bottle;
• the ability to partially or completely destroy insect eggs (the composition includes a substance with such properties).

The product has few disadvantages. They note the high cost. The drug, produced in a small bottle, is more expensive than its analogues in large packaging. Other disadvantages of using the product:

• you need to use the drug twice, which complicates the disinfestation procedure;
• The product is not easy to find in stores; it is recommended to order it online.

The drug is difficult to find in pharmacies or stores

Instructions for use

The use of Zonder requires strict adherence to the manufacturer's recommendations. Main processing steps:

1. The room is being prepared (the features of this process are described above). This stage cannot be skipped, because it ensures 50% of the processing efficiency.
2. A working solution is being prepared.
3. The object is being processed (all or only infected premises).
4. After finishing spraying the substance, you also need to do some cleaning. However, a number of features must be taken into account.

How to prepare a working solution

Conditions under which components can be mixed:

• air temperature above +10°C;
• you need to constantly stir the solution to obtain a substance of uniform consistency;
• Zonder can only be mixed with water without additives.

It is equally important to adhere to the proportions recommended by the manufacturer. So, to kill bedbugs, take 5-15 ml per 1 liter of water. The fewer parasites there are at home, the more the volume of concentrate decreases. For comparison, in case of intensive infection, you need to take the maximum permissible amount of the poisonous agent - 15 ml. You can determine that there are a lot of bedbugs in a room by a number of signs:

• strong unpleasant odor, noticeable upon entering the apartment;
• dark marks on upholstered furniture - black dots that merge and form larger spots;

• bedbug nests are found inside sleeping areas;
• Many marks appear on the body in the morning.

How to treat a room

It is recommended to study the extended instructions for use; an abbreviated one is indicated on the label. When the working solution is ready, it can be delivered to the working surfaces in different ways:

• sprayed with a spray bottle, the principle of operation of the spray is similar to how an aerosol works - in both cases micro drops are released, which quickly settle, and when the parasite crawls through this area, it will receive a dose of poison;
• applied with a rag, sponge or brush - a more complex method, since it does not allow the substance to be sprayed evenly, in addition, the procedure will take more time.

Areas to be treated:

• a bed and a sofa where people sleep;
• floor and walls (up to a level of 1-1.5 m);
• baseboards;
• interior items;
• window sills;

• along the perimeter of sockets and switches;
• bedside tables, chests of drawers, cabinets - back walls and internal surfaces.

Treating the room with a professional sprayer

Activities after disinfestation

It is equally important to complete the treatment of the room correctly. So, if an aggressive agent is used, you need to wait several hours; you should not be on the treated object during this time. Upon return, ventilate the room. You need to open the windows and doors wide. Through ventilation will quickly reduce the concentration of insecticides in the air. Further actions:

• a little cleaning is done - some coatings are cleaned of poison, using a soap solution; it can be replaced with a soda-based product (alkali destroys the poison);
• after 2-4 weeks you can perform general cleaning, but in hidden areas (under cabinets, behind them, etc.) the insecticidal film should not be removed, since the drug has a prolonged effect.

3-4 weeks after treatment you can do a general cleaning

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USE OF ZONDER

How to prepare the solution

The first thing to do is shake the emulsion well. Prepare water at room temperature. Regarding the proportions indicated in the instructions, 5 ml of the substance should be diluted in 1 liter of water.

If we rely on the experience of specialists and their practical skills, then 15 ml is used for the same amount of water. Another point is when treatments have been carried out in this room and the previously used products did not bring results (and also when there are a large number of bedbugs), then 30 ml is used for the same amount of water.

What is included and how is it produced?

As mentioned earlier, the composition is multicomponent, namely, it contains 3 active ingredients, each of which has a specific effect:

The formula used in the manufacture of the drug is designed to not give pests the slightest chance. And it really works and is extremely effective. Another point is multicomponentity, because insects have the ability to get used to certain substances; in this case, insects have little chance, because the likelihood that they are resistant to three drugs at once is reduced to zero.

Regarding the validity period, according to the manufacturer, the probe’s activity remains for 7 weeks after the spraying procedure. This time is very important, as it allows you to destroy the young animals that hatch their eggs.

It is produced in the form of an emulsion, which has a rather specific smell. It has a light brown color. You can buy it in bottles, for home use it is 100 ml and 250 ml, and for industrial use in containers of 1 liter and 5 liters.

Before you start working with the substance, be sure to wear protective equipment and follow safety precautions!

Security measures

If you decide to use a probe at home, be sure to follow the basic safety rules:

• Before starting the treatment, be sure to wear protective equipment, gloves, a respirator, and goggles.
• Should be stored away from food.
• Avoid contact with children and animals.
• Before processing, the products must be placed in sealed containers; people and animals should not be in the room.
• Avoid contact of the probe with the skin, mucous membrane, or clothing. After working with it, take off your clothes and wash them, wash your hands and face with soap.
• Do not work with the product without a respirator, avoid getting vapors through the respiratory tract;
• It is prohibited to eat, drink or smoke in the room where the probe is used.

Activities after disinfestation

The room should be mothballed for 5 hours. After this period, windows and doors can be opened. It is recommended to partially remove the poison from various surfaces that are used frequently. General cleaning is performed after 1-2 months. Moreover, the product is left in hidden areas.

Is there a smell from the bedbug preparation Zonder, how strong is it, how quickly does it disappear?

The drug emits a fairly strong odor that quickly disappears. The concentration of volatile substances decreases when the room is ventilated.

However, the smell will still be felt, because... a thin insecticidal film will remain on surfaces in the room. It contributes to the appearance of such a sign.

The disadvantage of the drug is its strong odor.

Is Sonder safe for humans and animals?

The drug is not absolutely safe. When applying it to surfaces, you must use gloves, a respiratory mask, and eye protection. It would be a good idea to wear a hat and long sleeves. There should be no one in the room. Aquarium fish must be covered with thick cloth.

After treatment, you cannot enter the room for several hours. During cleaning, surfaces accessible to contact between humans and pets are wiped. The room is thoroughly ventilated until the smell of the product leaves it.

Reviews from customers (real)

Elena, 32 years old, Ufa

I did not find the drug for sale. I have been to all stores of this type in Ufa. I had to buy the product online. What can I say: expensive, but effective.

Arina, 28 years old, Samara

When I was on a business trip, I saw Zonder for bedbugs in St. Petersburg, the reviews were excellent. I decided to buy it, but by mistake I took some Zondex. I came to my senses when I arrived home and started using it. There was no way to go back, so I ordered it online. The drug arrived quickly. 50 ml was enough for me for a 1-room apartment. Moreover, the parasites died after the first treatment.

Anastasia, 38 years old, Krasnodar

I am a distrustful person. But when I had to get rid of bed bugs, I began to look for the most effective remedy. Moreover, for this I did not find anything better than reading reviews. I was surprised that there are many satisfied consumers. Sonder is not often found here, it must be ordered. But I was also convinced that it was worth the money and the effort that goes into the search.

Sofia, 42 years old, Tula

I liked everything about Zonder, except the price. After all, for one 250 ml bottle you can order a disinfestation service, however, I will do that next time.

Inna, 31 years old, Sevastopol

I took some of the drug from a relative and decided to try it. I promised myself that if it worked on bedbugs, I would buy a full bottle. But I had to order it, because after the first treatment I had much fewer bites, plus I found insect corpses inside the furniture.

Processing should be carried out in a room with closed windows and doors

The effectiveness of Zonder bedbug repellent

The extent to which the product effectively copes with the task assigned to it can be noticed immediately after treatment.

In addition, Zonder not only effectively destroys insects during treatment, but also prevents their appearance in the future.

Many people recommend this remedy for bedbugs. Read >>>!

The drug copes with its task excellently even where many other means may not be able to do so.

As already noted, Zonder insecticide against bed bugs can be used not only by professionals, but also by ordinary residents of premises. The main condition is compliance with the requirements specified in the instructions.

The drug is very effective in those difficult cases when the room has already been treated with other means, which did not bring a positive result.

After all, if the insects survive after treatment, then they become accustomed to the drug, so-called resistance, and in this case it is much more difficult to destroy them.

However, Zonder, due to the fact that it contains three active substances at once, helps perfectly in such difficult cases.
