When bed bugs are found in an apartment, many owners of the premises first of all run to the market or to a hardware store for Dichlorvos, Karbofos, Reid, which have already become familiar ... Their calculation is clear: these funds have already once helped them or their friends to exterminate cockroaches or ants. So, they can also poison bedbugs? ..
However, pest control with such commonly used means is carried out, money, time and effort are spent, and the bugs in the apartment remain and continue to actively torment the residents. The resistance of these insects and their ability to get used to various poisons is much higher than that of ordinary cockroaches and ants. And therefore it is necessary to deal with them in several other ways.
So, let's try to figure out how to poison bedbugs and how to do it correctly.
What is the best way to poison bedbugs today
Bed bugs should always be treated with the most effective and currently known insecticides. Bed bugs are evolutionarily very dynamic species of insects, and with frequent exposure to the same substance, populations constantly arise that are resistant to this particular agent.
Therefore, in order to choose how to poison bedbugs in an apartment, you should adopt the following tips:
- call the local SES and find out how they poison bedbugs and what remedies they can recommend. Sometimes it is the sanitary and epidemiological station that works most effectively, and their advice can be useful.
- Ask friends who have encountered the same problem what insecticides they used and how successfully.
- Interview neighbors, especially those whose apartments are suspected as a source of bedbug infestation. Find out what they tried to poison insects with and buy another remedy - if the insecticide indicated by them does not help, then using it is a waste of time and effort.
To date, there are a number of chemicals on the market, the use of which gives a very good effect in the fight against bedbugs, allowing you to completely get rid of parasites in a short time. Let's look at them in more detail.
We poison bedbugs with the Executioner
Executioner is a German insecticide produced by Russian chemical enterprises under a developer's license. It is considered by professionals as one of the most preferred means for baiting bed bugs.
Etching bedbugs with the Executioner in one apartment requires approximately 1200-2000 rubles for the agent itself, depending on the size of the apartment, and two days for processing the premises.
The executioner is based on the insecticide fenthion, which disrupts the nervous system of the insect and leads to the death of all bugs that have had time to come into contact with the agent.
To guarantee the disposal of the premises from bloodsuckers, it is necessary to carry out the treatment twice with an interval of four to five days.After the first treatment, bedbug eggs may remain in secluded places of the apartment, from which larvae will hatch within a few days. Re-baiting bedbugs will destroy them.
Review
“As soon as we found bedbugs in the purchased sofa, we immediately called the SES. We were charged such a price that even a whole box of the Executioner turned out to be cheaper. In short, we flooded the entire sofa with them, put them on the balcony, waited two days. Some of the bugs managed to hide under the carpet, but the Executioner got them there too. Everyone died, now there is not a single parasite in the house.

When using the Executioner, precautions must be taken: all people and animals should be removed from the processed apartment, and the handler himself must work in a cotton-gauze bandage and gloves.

Destruction of bedbugs with insecticide
Insecticide is a fairly effective development of Russian scientists, which often turns out to be even more effective than most other means. One bottle of insecticide with a spray bottle will be enough to process and completely destroy bedbugs in a standard two-room apartment.
The secret of such a powerful action lies in the complex composition of Klopomor: in addition to cypermethrin, it includes permethrin and piperonyl butoxide. Such a mixture of highly effective insecticides is stored for a long time in those places that the handler cannot reach when persecuting insects, and therefore a single treatment of the premises with Insecticide is enough to completely remove bed bugs.
Review
“We bought this thing. Tin, not a drug. Mows everything that is on six paws. We thought we were going to die. My husband's hands cracked after processing at home, but then everything went away. Three months after the persecution, the floor in the hall was changed, so there was a real bedbug cemetery behind the baseboards.
Yana, Golma
But you should remember the high toxicity of Klopomor. Before you poison bedbugs with this drug, you need to read the instructions and take into account that even its remains in the room can cause allergic reactions in susceptible people.
After processing the apartment with Klopomor, a thorough cleaning of the entire apartment is required.
Tetrix from bed bugs
Tetrix is famous for its rarity on the market (it can be difficult to get), a monstrous smell and amazing efficiency. No wonder it is used by many private professional pest control services.
Tetrix is produced in Holland, and is a solution ready for spraying in an apartment.
On a note
Virtually no professional bedbug baiting organization informs its customers without a specific request that they use Tetrix. This drug is quite toxic, but very quickly disappears. After treating the apartment with him, already after three to four hours, he ceases to pose a threat, although his smell persists for a long time. Therefore, after such disinfestation, thorough ventilation and wet cleaning of the room are required.
For independent use of Tetrix, it is necessary to strictly observe all safety measures, and in addition, to free the apartment from the inhabitants for at least two days, until the persistent smell of the drug disappears.
Review
“They called the service, paid off 4,000 rubles for two apartments on the site. The stench after the persecution stood up to the first floor. A week later, everything was washed. But the truth is, the bugs did not appear at all after that. Then they asked the guys what kind of remedy they had. They said it was Tetrix.

Karbofos
Karbofos is a somewhat outdated remedy, which is increasingly being replaced by more modern Executioner, Klopomor or Kombat. However, the extremely affordable price and wide popularity still allow him to remain among the leaders in sales of insecticides against bed bugs.
True, before you eradicate bedbugs with it, you need to get acquainted with all the specifics of its use.Its use in general requires a little more effort and time, but is well suited for processing very large rooms. For example, private houses.
The disadvantages of Karbofos are a rather persistent smell, as well as the need to poison bedbugs with it twice: re-treatment is done 3-4 days after the first disinfestation procedure.
Aerosol Kombat
Many choose for a long time how to poison domestic bugs, due to the bad smell of most products. Combat is ideal in this case: this Korean product is made with the addition of mint and lemon flavors, and therefore even the remnants of the product after processing the apartment do not leave an unpleasant odor in it.
In addition, Kombat is available in convenient aerosol cans, like air fresheners. Thanks to this, it does not need to be dissolved in anything, which reduces the time for the general processing of the room.
Chalk Mashenka - effective from bedbugs
No matter how Masha's chalk may seem like a kind of relic of post-perestroika times, he still confidently copes with bedbugs in a variety of rooms. Part of its success is due to the fact that the manufacturer constantly enhances its composition with more and more new insecticides.
Poisoning bugs by Mashenka is a little more troublesome and lengthy than using the same Executioner or Combat, but this allows you to persecute without removing the inhabitants from the apartment.
In addition, Mashenka is the simplest and most effective drug today for preventing bedbugs from entering the house (a wide line is simply drawn, the intersection of which will be deadly for crawling insects).
The above list is only a part of the means that today effectively poison bedbugs in homes.The following drugs can be used no less successfully:
- Fufanon
- Medilis Ziper
- Microphos
- Pyrethrum
- Chlorpirimac
- Sinuzan.
It is only important to follow the instructions. Proper observance of the instructions for using these drugs will not only ensure the complete removal of bedbugs from the premises, but also will not harm the handler himself and other residents of the apartment.
How to destroy parasites and not poison yourself
Before you poison the bedbugs in the apartment, you must carefully read the instructions for using the product used. Many of these tools involve diluting the concentrate (Tetrix, Karbofos, Hangman) or dissolving the powder in water (for example, Karbofos in bags).
With the resulting solution, it is necessary to process the largest number of surfaces in the apartment, including furniture and bedding. The handler should be dressed in closed clothing, use a cotton-gauze bandage and rubber gloves. This is especially true when working with Klopomor or Tetrix.
It is advisable to poison bedbugs with the windows closed, and after processing the room, leave and close it for several hours. Then thoroughly ventilate, carry out wet cleaning and wash linen and clothes.
When working with powder products, the substance crumbles in places where bedbugs accumulate and move. After treatment, it is advisable to leave the room closed for at least a few days.
When treating an apartment with strong-smelling preparations, children and pets should be introduced into it only after the smell has been weathered.
Self-baiting bedbugs is not always cheaper than calling special teams. So, processing a one-room apartment in the regions can cost 1600-1800 rubles when calling the SES, and the purchase of the same Executioner will cost up to 2000 rubles.
It is important to understand that not all services work equally effectively, and if there are negative reviews about a particular company in your area, it is better to do it yourself.
When dealing with bedbugs on your own, focus on highly effective proven products. It is better to purchase them either directly from the manufacturer's representatives or in large online stores, since there are a lot of fakes on the market now.
When preparing to poison bedbugs in an apartment, calculate in advance the approximate amount of the drug that will be required. It also makes sense to cooperate with neighbors if they are also suffering from the invasion of parasites. Simultaneous processing of several apartments at once will significantly increase the chances of getting rid of bedbugs forever.
Five effective ways to kill bed bugs in the apartment
How to choose a bed bug extermination service
Good afternoon! We turned to the disinfection station, and what a surprise it was when, instead of the indicated cost by the operator on the phone at 1900 rubles, the master on arrival offered “enhanced processing” for 4900 (although the guarantee is still 2 years), but we were told that the repeated processing is possible only after 30 (!) days, and even then for an additional fee. The surprise did not end there: despite the fact that the smell after treatment was supposed to disappear after 2 hours maximum, according to the manager, it has been holding for 7 hours, apparently due to the fact that it is reinforced. In addition, they did not issue a cash receipt for payment, which also leads to different thoughts. And the contract, which does not contain all the necessary details. Summing up the work, I really want to believe that if you pay more than double the amount of the specified amount by phone, the bedbugs will disappear and we will no longer turn to such a dubious office. In addition, no matter how hard I tried, I did not see on the site the amount that the master took from us.
Tell me, please, how to get rid of bedbugs?
Aah, these bugs got me sick, right now they bite at the computer, help =(
And help me, Mr. Tver. Tired of them running around the apartment.
We got treated yesterday, the smell is still and does not disappear. I called the service, they say, leave it for another day to ventilate. Even though it was advertised as 2 hours. And where are the children?! Keep in mind that the smell is long, and the poison acts for 30 days, then it decomposes. At first they weren't warned about it.
Yesterday they poisoned bedbugs with Combat. Let's see how it does. They flooded all the clothes, mattresses, furniture. Laundry today and tomorrow.By the way, the smell is not so pungent, it now smells like it was heavily sprayed with air freshener.
P.S. for 1 room in a hostel (3 people) and just a MOUNTAIN of things it took 3 bottles.
How to get rid of bed bugs? Already tried everything.
The main thing is to find their nest! And the Karbofos remedy will help, only it is necessary to breed not as in the instructions, but thicker.
Karbofos - garbage, tried, did not help.
What to do, we can not get rid of bed bugs. Please tell me what would be more efficient. Please, I beg you very much.
Guys, tell me who ordered the Executioner via the Internet, they are talking nonsense to me, first, like throwing 200 rubles on the bodies, and the rest upon receipt. I think it's a scammer.
Hello Anna. This is a prepaid postage. Such an advance payment is made, since when sending a large parcel, you need to pay at the post office for sending your parcel from 300 to 400 rubles. Therefore, if you are confident in your order, then make an advance payment and a parcel will be sent to you with the deduction of this advance payment. The rest of the amount will already be paid by mail upon receipt, cash on delivery.
Where to look for their nests?
The executioner did not help.
I read a huge number of articles on the Internet. They are on the curtains and on the plinth. I bought a professional preparation, 1 liter (it needs to be diluted, applied with a garden sprayer). I bought Reid and others like him and sprayed directly on the bugs. Guarded them, did not sleep until 4-6 in the morning. And then I bought (of course, I spent 52 thousand rubles) an Italian steam generator.Here is the thing! There's steam at the exit of 120 DEGREES! And these creatures in the sofa soared! In every crack it is necessary. And when the little thing hatched from the eggs (red), she climbed out from the hot steam, crushed her. In general, not quickly, but I won them! 2 sofas. From the children's sofa (modular furniture), the film had already peeled off, such a temperature was high. And now I have a generator only for cleaning. This was in the winter of 2015.
God! Help, please, I'm itching and my sister will arrive on Monday. How to get rid of them? I don't understand anything on this site.
What to do if bed bugs bite, but I can’t find them. It seems that there was not only this redness, and then suddenly after 1 minute there is already. Found only one. I looked all over the mattress and bed, but I can’t find it. Help, where can I find them and how to etch them?
(We rented an apartment. On the very first night we were bitten. The next morning we ran away from this bedbug shelter, but these attacks continue in a clean house, and I don’t sleep at night, I’m looking for these creatures. And I can’t find them).
We have a private house. There are not many of them, but enough. I do not know what to do. Help!
Bedbugs climbed over from an alcoholic neighbor. Experts poisoned with GET. It took a year. Then these creatures spread all over the entrance. They poisoned them in their apartment with everything they bought on the market. Pensioner neighbors do not want to poison, bedbugs do not bite them, and they do not want to spend money on grass. Nothing helps. Bed bugs always crawl from neighbors. Now we have collected all the things and put them in an industrial freezer for 2 weeks, we hope that it will help. We moved out of that apartment, we were lucky that it was rented. And if you have such miserly neighbors, then no means will help.
Welcome to Oslo! No chemicals are allowed in Norway. We've got a bedbug epidemic here. Firms simply take furniture for freezing.
I used Zifox, I bought it in a hardware store. Kills bed bugs in 5 minutes. You need to spray doors, skirting boards, windows, ceiling corners, cabinet walls and especially beds, sofas, upholstered furniture seams and all the cracks inside the furniture. After the primary treatment, a secondary treatment should be carried out after 14 days - in order to kill those who hatch from the larvae.
