Compared with the closest competitor - insecticidal aerosol - the average dust from the bugs (that is, the drug in powder form) is a tool with less damaging ability and a longer period of complete destruction of the parasites. This is due to the fact that dust is a powder that somehow must get into the body of an insect in order to have a poisonous effect. And if the aerosol copes with this quite simply (its particles are very finely dispersed), then with the dust getting inside the bugs there can be some difficulties.
Domestic bugs are typical blood-sucking parasites, and therefore in some cases even the most poisonous anti-bed bug can be harmless - they simply cannot swallow it, because they can only pierce their skin and suck blood. Therefore, only dust, which is based on an insecticide of contact action, will be effective against bugs. (while, for example, powders of both contact and intestinal action will be effective from cockroaches).
For reference
Contact-acting insecticides are toxic substances that are able to penetrate into the body of insects through their chitinous cover. For the death of the bug, it is enough for him to simply run through the dust with such an insecticide or accidentally smear it. Contact action insecticides include the widely and infamous DDT, and of the more modern and safe ones, Karbofos, Chlorofos, Feverfew, Neopin, Neopinamine, Cypermethrin, and some other substances.
Among all the tools that are actively advertised today as reliable drugs against household insects, including bedbugs, let's try to highlight those that are not only tested for basic suitability, but also those that have gained popularity among the people. Still, the theory of theory, but in practice, many drugs manifest themselves in different ways.
Feedback
"We constantly had to poison bugs at a private tourist base in the Crimea.Before the next season they were able to withdraw, but in the summer they appeared again. Karbofos in canisters and the German Hangman act as quickly as possible. The latter, however, is very expensive, and it lacked the budget for the control of all parasites to handle all the houses. They tried the dust, in our case, with the planned pickling, they turned out to be the best means. Even before the general cleaning, all the rooms were treated with dry powders, and then the control etching was repeated with an aqueous solution of the product. As a result, insects were destroyed, but the whole operation took about a week to complete. ”

The most common dusts today and the rules for their use
Among the large number of bedrock dusts, which can be bought both in the markets and in stores, and through the Internet, there are not that many really effective ones. The most reliable means are used in their work by specialists of disinsection and sanitary epidemiological stations. Among these dusts:
- Clopoveron is one of the most difficult and expensive drugs for bedbugs (domestic production). In addition, it is considered one of the most effective remedies for bedbugs and is used in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and in the fleet.
- Phenaxin is a remedy that, apart from its effectiveness, is distinguished by the absence of odor, which is rare for insecticides.
- Insect Clean Pure House.
- Feverfew is the only completely natural preparation among the truly effective remedies.
- Riapan.
- Biocifen
…and some others. This list is constantly updated with new developments, and it is up to them to check their effectiveness.
In the application of dusts are not difficult, but have many features. They should be scattered in places of constant location of bugs, as well as where the parasites often move. It is very important to treat with dust the surfaces close to the mattresses and pillows on which people sleep - here the chance for drugs to get bugs is maximum.
On a note
Dusts are ineffective against bedbug eggs. Therefore, when working with them, a repeated treatment is always required, five to seven days after the first, in order to destroy those parasites that during this time come out of the eggs untouched by poison.
Some dusts can be dissolved in water and sprayed or spread with a surface solution.After drying, such a suspension will remain a layer of the drug, which will poison the parasites.
All modern insecticides are relatively safe for humans, but with a serious treatment of the premises require compliance with all safety rules. When spilling or spraying the solution, you must use gloves and a mask on your face. After applying dust, do not clean the room for several days, and it is advisable not to wash the elements of the bed for several weeks.
Modern dusts from bedbugs are odorless and do not evaporate, and therefore their presence in the bedroom is safe enough for a person.
It is interesting
It is because of its toxicity and ability to accumulate in the body. DDT ceased to be used in everyday life, and then in agriculture. Almost all modern insecticides are not inferior to him in efficiency, but are safer when in contact with the human body and warm-blooded animals.
It should be remembered that when using dusts, the effect will not be instantaneous. The complete destruction of bedbugs will occur at best in a few days, when all the parasites have time to get dirty in the poison.Therefore, before you buy dust from bedbugs, you should decide whether the tenants of the apartment have the desire to endure a few more days of harassment.
Klopoveron
Clopoveron is considered to be one of the most powerful and effective remedies for bedbugs. The drug was developed for the purposes of the Soviet army (and even more precisely - for pickling bugs on warships and submarines) and today it is used only by individual professional companies due to its high cost.
It is possible to buy this dust from bedbugs at a price of about 1,800 rubles for 250 grams of powder - it is cheaper and much easier to contact an ordinary professional insect breeding company. Klopoveron contains a synthetic insecticide that provides a rapid onset of paralysis in insects.
Feedback
“Even in Soviet times, the godfather gave Klopoveron, some kind of secret military remedy for bedbugs. Vigorous thing, mows parasites on the spot, but today you can not get it. At one station of pest control, they broke a price of 2,000 rubles for a bag, we had to buy Karbofos. Although he was not standing by force with Klopoveron. ”

Dust Clean House
Dust Clean House is also quite an effective insecticide, known for being actively used by disinsection services. The powder is quite toxic, therefore, requires careful use.
The tool crumbles under the mattress of the bed, along the baseboards and around the cabinets. To process an average one-room apartment, you should buy 5 packages of dust of 50 grams each and use them all - the result in this case should be well pronounced. Optimally, a week after the first pickling, repeat the treatment of the apartment, but with a smaller amount of money.
A pack of dust Clean House weighing 50 grams costs about 12 rubles.
Fenaxin from bedbugs
Phenaxin contains fenvalerate - the main active insecticide, as well as boric acid (does not work on bugs) and lubricating oil. This composition provides an excellent effect on bedbugs, but the main thing is almost nothing and does not smell. This advantage allows using Phenaxin not only in residential buildings, but also in hotels and catering establishments.
125 grams of fenaxin standing about 20 rubles.
Feedback
“When my daughter moved into college in the first semester, she came to us for a week in horror - she said,that in the dorm bedbugs sit on the walls. We raised all our acquaintances, found only Fenaxin powder, said that it was effective. My daughter sprinkled them all the plinth, a bed under the mattress, parquet, a wardrobe. The result was good, but I constantly had to process the room because the bugs were crawling from the neighbors. ”

Dust from insects Fast double is not much different from Fenaxin, but has a lot of positive feedback and is often used to fight not only with bedbugs, but with almost all other household insects.

Riapan against bed bugs

Feedback
“The bugs in our house have appeared long ago, but we have hunted them more and more with folk remedies - tansy, wormwood. Constantly had to buy these herbsbut the bugs did not become smaller. We were advised to buy an insecticide, we found Riapan. This is a great tool. We spent around 250 rubles for the whole house, sprinkled them all, then we also had a control etch. As a result, the first time in two years were in the house without bugs at all.Just in case, we bought several more packages and are ready to poison the bugs as soon as they appear. ”

When applying any dust in the room it is always necessary to remember that a child or a pet may accidentally be smeared in it. And although in small quantities most of these drugs are low-risk, it is better to prevent children and pets from contacting them. When processing the same room, you should take into account the specifics of all the inhabitants of the house (for example, take into account the possibility of allergies in sensitive people) and observe the safety measures specified for a particular drug.
