Remedy for cockroaches Gett or still Get?

Many apartment owners, tormented by insects, are still trying to buy Gett cockroach remedy in the old fashioned way, not knowing that it has long been discontinued and is no longer on sale. However, do not despair: the market for cockroach remedies does not stand still and offers the consumer new solutions. Gett, which has sunk into oblivion, has been replaced by Get insect repellent, a new generation microencapsulated drug that allows you to get rid of cockroaches in just a matter of days.

To date, the Get cockroach remedy (not to be confused with Gett) is considered one of the most effective and convenient preparations for combating domestic insects. There are several reasons for this: its effectiveness, relatively low price, the absence of an unpleasant odor, safety for humans and ease of use.

However, what is common between the Gett remedy that has gone down in history and the modern Get drug? Can they be compared at all in terms of effectiveness, what are their differences and where to buy the product? Let's try to understand these nuances in more detail.

 

Composition of the product, form of release and principle of action

At its core, Gett's earlier cockroach remedy was a dilute aqueous dispersion of an insecticide called chlorpyrifos, bottled with a spray bottle.

The Get tool is a concentrate of microencapsulated chlorpyrifos, which is a significant advantage: the consumer himself can set the concentration of the drug in the finished solution by diluting the concentrate with water in the desired ratio. Indeed, depending on which insects are supposed to fight (cockroaches, bedbugs, ants, fleas, etc.), the concentration of the drug should be different.

The chlorpyrifos used in Get (and formerly Gett) is a broad spectrum contact insecticide. This substance is part of some professional cockroach exterminators, and is rightfully considered one of the most effective means against domestic insects.

Review:

“I only encountered cockroaches once, and then in a hostel. But I have looked at them for the rest of my life. Especially scary black ones, the size of a finger. They walked around the kitchen like masters. I was even afraid to crush them. My mother advised me to poison them with Geta, I bought one bottle of the concentrate, diluted it according to the instructions and sprinkled it in the kitchen behind the stove and refrigerator and in my room behind the beds and bedside table. All the cockroaches immediately moved into the corridors, and there they already began to die. Right in batches they fell from the ceiling and died, and then we swept them out for a long time. ”

Chlorpyrifos can enter the body of an insect both through the digestive tract and respiratory organs, and through the integument of the body.As a result, even just smeared in the preparation, the cockroach dooms itself to death - first it has convulsive muscle contractions, and then paralysis and death occur.

Get Cockroach Remedy is available as a white to off-white liquid that is a concentrate of microscopic chlorpyrifos capsules dispersed in a water base with a stabilizer. The concentrate has a slight odor with notes of orange or alcohol, which is the most important advantage of the drug, since even after a massive treatment of the apartment from cockroaches, there will be no unpleasant smell in it.

We must pay tribute to the outdated Gett preparation, for which, in fact, he gained some popularity with the consumer at one time: when the solution of this cockroach exterminator was sprayed around the apartment, the liquid dried up, and insecticide particles remained on the treated surfaces, which were then successfully collected by running pests .

Review:

“Recently, my sister asked me to suggest a remedy, I advised her Gett, but she did not find it anywhere. He says they don't release him now.

Today, microencapsulation technology has come a long way, which allows the modern Get product to provide particularly high efficiency against cockroaches and other household insects. Cockroaches, running over the treated surfaces, necessarily come into contact with microcapsules. But even a few of these insecticide particles that have fallen on the paws or whiskers are enough to kill the insect.

It is very simple to apply the drug solution on the surface: it is enough just to spray it, for example, from a spray gun on the desired surfaces.

And further: Aerosol Raptor poisons all cockroaches not very quickly, but effectively - see the results of our experiment...

It should be borne in mind that the technology for the production of microencapsulated preparations is rather complicated and cannot be implemented under artisanal conditions. This means that all such drugs that claim to use this technology cannot be too cheap: in addition to high-quality raw materials, high-tech equipment must also be used for their production. Accordingly, if you are offered to buy, allegedly a concentrate of microcapsules from cockroaches for 50-100 rubles (per 100 ml), then this is either a counterfeit product of dubious composition (there are many of these on the market today), or a multiply diluted original product that is offered to be bought under the guise of a concentrate . Be carefull.

You can buy Get cockroach remedy (we note once again that it should not be confused with Gett) from official representatives of the manufacturer.In addition, today you can buy this drug on the Internet with cash on delivery, but the cost of the product will increase by the amount of the shipping cost.

Review:

“For our dining room, cockroaches are a real scourge. Under the previous director, they were probably hounded for two years, but not etched out. Now they have allocated a normal amount of money and we bought a Get. All the cats were taken home for two weeks, but Geth himself was not washed away. Only with brooms in the morning they raked out cockroaches. There were even huge brown ones, we had never seen them before, they are called American ones. I don’t know if we destroyed everyone, but we haven’t seen the Prussians at all for half a year now.”

Lyudmila, Zaporozhye

The Get drug itself costs about 700 rubles per 1 bottle. Although if you take a set of 4 pieces, for example, for yourself and your neighbors, then you can buy 10-12% cheaper.

 

Efficiency Get from cockroaches

The effectiveness of Get from cockroaches is very high and not only is not inferior to the effectiveness of the old and well-proven Gett remedy, but also surpasses it. No wonder today the drug is considered one of the most reliable means available for use in everyday life without special training.

It is also important that Get (as well as Gett) works reliably regardless of whether the insect eats it or not. Many preparations for cockroaches, for this very reason, lose in efficiency to more advanced microencapsulated products of the new generation, since they require eating, and the pests themselves do not want to eat them.

Review:

“I'm afraid of all these chemicals. I just took Get, diluted it and sprinkled it behind the bedside tables, where neither a child nor a dog can get. And what would you think? The Prussians began to die, as in a gas chamber. There wasn't even a smell in the apartment.As advised by the sales guys, I also sprinkled them in the vestibule and in the ventilation hole, and there were no more cockroaches.

Oksana, Vinnitsa

Among other things, Get is also a barrier tool - it is enough for them to process the paths of possible penetration of cockroaches into the room (for example, from neighbors), and even if the insects cross such a poisonous line, they will not last long in the dwelling. At the same time, Get is not a repellent and has almost no smell: it does not scare away cockroaches, but immediately destroys them - this at one time attracted consumers in Gett, which is outdated today.

And further: Cockroaches in the apartment are not only disgusting, but also dangerous to health. And they are dangerous not only with transmitted infections ...

Review:

“Of all the remedies against cockroaches, only Get is barrier. The rest are simply destroyed, but this one also does not pass in principle. True, it is not cheap. But he works off his money, and you don’t have to breathe poison, as from aerosols.

Alexander, Moscow

 

Instructions for using the drug

Despite the safety of Get for humans and animals, when working with it, as, indeed, when working with any other insecticide, it is advisable to use personal protective equipment - a mask or respirator, as well as rubber gloves.

The Get cockroach remedy is diluted with ordinary water in a ratio of 1:10 to 1:20, depending on the type of insects that are supposed to be fought.

Before diluting the concentrate, the bottle with the product should be shaken, since the microcapsules of the insecticide, although very small, have some weight and ways to gradually settle.

The concentrations indicated in the table must be maintained accurately enough - in this case, the result will correspond to the desired one. The solution obtained by diluting the concentrate is recommended to be poured into a spray bottle, which facilitates the process of applying the product.

Next, you should apply the drug with a spray gun on various surfaces in places of accumulation or frequent movement of cockroaches. It is especially useful to treat those places that are not accessible to pets and children - here the preparation can not be washed off for several days, which will ensure the destruction of cockroaches, which Get will not reach in the first hours of application.

Also, special attention during processing should be paid to places in the apartment where there are sources of moisture - this is, first of all, the kitchen and the bathroom (cockroaches are in dire need of water).

There is no need for a total treatment of the entire apartment - it is enough to apply Get where cockroaches regularly move. Do not process children's toys and clothes - the product is not intended for this.

The advantage of the Get product is that it is practically odorless, does not leave greasy stains and streaks. The apartment can be used almost immediately after treatment without any discomfort (without many hours of “settling”, as, for example, is necessary in the case of using aerosol products from cockroaches).

 

Doubles and fakes Get: how to avoid deception and counterfeiting

Just as there were counterfeits of Gett cockroach remedies at one time, today there are also clone products on the market called Get, which can be difficult to distinguish from the original drug for an unprepared consumer.

The main distinguishing features of the original Get tool are listed below:

• the drug is available in opaque white bottles
• the label must contain branded shades of colors
• the date of manufacture of the product should be slightly pressed into the paper, and not just printed on it
• An important distinguishing feature of the original product is the presence of a foil membrane with the Get logo on the neck of the bottle.
• and, finally, the appearance of the drug - as mentioned earlier, it is a white or slightly creamy liquid with a faint smell of oranges or notes of ethyl alcohol, but definitely without the smell of gasoline and other organic solvents.

The price of counterfeit products can differ significantly from the price of the original, both up and down. Recall that 1 bottle of the original Get cockroach remedy can be bought for about 700 rubles, and it will be enough to process about 100 square meters. m. area.

Review

“I was looking for Gett, I thought he should be in a white spray bottle. I found it in some yellow, as it turned out later - it was a new Get. But he also helped a lot, I’m just glad: all the cockroaches died in just a day. Although I think Gett would work well too.”
