Acetic acid

Of all the folk remedies for the control of bedbugs, vinegar is one of the most affordable and easy to use. It is easy to buy, it is inexpensive and absolutely safe for humans. But at the same time and very much effective against bedbugs it can not be called.

Like most folk remedies, vinegar does not kill bedbugs, but scares them off with its smell. And if the vinegar from the bugs is used correctly, you can scare off the parasites quickly and for a long time, after which they can not disturb the apartment dweller for more than six months. However, to obtain a similar effect, the treatment of the room with vinegar is no less complicated and responsible than such operations with the most effective insecticides, which allow, with the same efforts, to get rid of insects forever.

 

Feedback on the use of vinegar in the fight against bed bugs:

In the winter I took a two-room apartment and literally on the first night I felt something was wrong. I checked the bed and carpets and almost fell: there were more bedbugs than cockroaches in the zoo. Almost everywhere they were, and in the corners - right in droves. Interestingly, in one of the rooms of these parasites was not at all. I remembered about the already forgotten way - anti-bed bug vinegar. I bought two bottles, processed the bed, carpets, baseboards, well ventilated the apartment. For half a year not a single bug bitten me. And then it started on a new one. Apparently, vinegar gives only temporary results. So now I am preparing an apartment for the arrival of the sanitary service.

Anti-bed bug vinegar: principle of operation

Vinegar can kill bedbugs only when the insect enters directly into the jar with this liquid. Here, the bug is either choking or its internal organs are being eroded by aggressive acetic acid. With the same result, acetic acid acts on any other living thing: it is the same acid as the notorious sulfuric or hydrochloric acid, only slightly less powerful.

Criminology describes the cases of suicide of people by using large (more than a liter) quantities of technical vinegar or acetic acid.essences. It is not surprising that insects, in particular, bugs, die in this liquid rather quickly.

At the same time, simple application of vinegar on different surfaces has the same effect on domestic bedbugs that food vinegar has on a person being in the composition of lettuce or fermented foods: irritates the organs of taste and smell. Only if a person loves these sensations and diversifies their meals with them, then for insects the smell of vinegar is hostile and frightening. Of course, than in large quantities and concentrations will be used vinegar anti bugsthe more effectively it will help in the fight against them.

Acetic acid has little effect on bedbug eggs.

 Adult domestic bugs and their eggs

You should not expect that being sprinkled on the bed or furniture with vinegar will destroy the bugs. In this case, the parasites can only eat for a few days, for fear of approaching the source of a sharp unpleasant odor. As weathering and aggravation of hunger occur, bugs resume their activity and begin to bite with the same force.

Only with a very massive treatment of the room with vinegar can one achieve that the domestic bugs leave it.However, such treatment will require the same expenditure of effort, as well as the full-fledged treatment of the apartment with powerful insecticides. Only in the latter case will the bugs die and are more likely to never return to the room.

 

Advantages and disadvantages of vinegar as a remedy for bedbugs

Before get rid of bedbugs With the help of vinegar, you need to take into account all its pros and cons. Perhaps, at this stage, the most rational user of the apartment will decide to prefer other products to vinegar, and someone, on the contrary, will be inclined to him.

The main advantages of vinegar are:

  1. Accessibility - you can buy table vinegar or vinegar essence in every store in any season of the year.
  2. Cheapness - the amount of vinegar, which is enough for the massed treatment of the apartment, will cost several times cheaper than the similar in quantity properties of a powerful insecticide.
  3. Safety - vinegar does not cause allergic reactions and in quantities used to combat bedbugs, has no toxic effect on people and animals.

Among the main disadvantages of vinegar are the following:

  1. Low efficiency - often bedbug vinegar does not kill and, in general, probably does not drive them out of the room.Bedbugs and vinegar may well be in the same apartment at the same time.
  2. A pungent smell - the apartment, after being treated with vinegar, smells like a canned food factory.

 Acetic acid smells strongly

"In the country poisoned bedbugs anything from turpentine to raid. Special poisons work best of all. It is a fact. After Karbofos, bugs did not appear at all. But the vinegar, which we were advised, gave only a temporary respite for a week. After the bedbugs are back again. But during this “respite” the whole dacha, the furniture and we ourselves stank of vinegar so much that bedbugs would be better ... ”

Maria Antonovna, Svetlogorsk

If you compare vinegar with other folk remedies to combat bed bugs, then in general it is not much different from the same denatured alcohol, turpentine or dust. And it is necessary to make a decision on its use when there are few parasites in the room and it is precisely known that the neighbors do not have them. In this case, expelled once, they are likely to die outside the walls of the apartment and never return. In the case of apartment buildings, vinegar helps poorly and gives only a temporary postponement of the repeated invasion of insects into the apartment.

 

We strengthen the effect of vinegar on bedbugs

The most effective vinegar is mixed with other means. For example, experienced folk fighters with bedbugs recommend these recipes:

  1. Mix vinegar with 90% alcohol and naphthalene in equal proportions, and use this mixture to treat bedbugs. With the direct contact of the liquid with insects, they die within a few minutes, but the evaporation of this liquid does not have a special effect on them.
  2. Mix vinegar with a decoction of wormwood and handle this mixture legs and the body of the bed. If bugs rarely appear in an apartment, it means that they come from neighbors, and it makes sense to smear possible ways of penetration of bugs into an apartment with the same solution: ventilation passages, doorframes, windows.
  3. In equal proportions, mix the vinegar with turpentine and the finished solution from the sprayer to handle the walls, baseboards and crevices in the furniture.

It is verified that when the surface is richly wetted with vinegar, the bugs, falling on such a surface, die within 12 seconds. However, the vinegar itself evaporates in a matter of seconds, and in order to destroy the insects with vinegar, they must literally be poured. In conditions when the bugs settle behind wallpaper and baseboards, it is very difficult to do this.

But for the prevention of the penetration of bedbugs in an apartment, vinegar can be used quite successfully. However, given that the smell of vinegar disappears rather quickly, such treatment should be done quite often.

    Hello, we recently had bugs, and we first worked with boiling water, very hot.Then, after 15 minutes, with vinegar (a lot of vinegar, 2 bottles). And the next day, they sprinkled with an anti-bug (15 liters), everywhere, and things too. Then they closed the windows, the doors, left for one day, and again worked with vinegar and whiteness. All things are washed with hot water. There are no bugs. It turns out that the neighbors were there, they left for 10 days, and the bugs came to us for food. Were and neighbors and, tfu-tfu, no.

      Look for bedbugs at the neighbors! While the neighbors do not handle, and will climb. We also suffer from this infection) Two times already called the service SES, but the bugs continue to bite. Neighbors recently confessed (hung up an ad at the entrance). While they hunted, the bugs climbed to us. The fact is that during the disinsection, only the bugs themselves are killed, and those who do not die themselves, then die from contact with the agent.But the eggs do not kill anything until they hatch. Of course, we also faced the high cost of SES services. At this stage, we ordered Zifox, a 50 ml bottle (SES is also recommended) - it cost 600 rubles with delivery. Consumption 2 ml per 1 liter of water. So count how many times (God forbid) enough, and the neighbors will remain. WE WILL TRY!

      Try medi-tsipper, 50 ml diluted by 2 liters - this is on the ode to the room. The smell will be atas, but it is worth it. After 10 days, repeat. Leave the house for a day (pick up pets too, otherwise they will get poisoned).

    Karbofos, believe me, will take nothing more than these creeping creatures. So that they are dead, immediately and everywhere. I will begin writing my dissertation soon. I can help with advice.

    We have been living with them for 4 years, we cannot kill them. Tell me, please, where is karbofos sold? In pharmacies it happens?

    Reply
    • Elenka:

      Karbofos is sold mainly in stores like “Everything for the garden”. It is advisable to take in glass bottles! And dilute it more than what is written in the instructions. Do not forget the respirator and rubber gloves. My advice to you, Maria: before carrying out treatment with karbofos, keep in mind that it has a very pungent odor, and all things, products need to be folded in airtight bags. Then wash at 90 degrees, preferably all. And before that, all the gaps and joints are covered with a putty or sealant!

      I lived with these creatures for 4 months, it's terrible. I sympathize with you so much ... 4 years is too much. I can imagine how many eggs they laid, which is even worse. Oh, Mary, I forgot! After two weeks, it is important to re-process! And in the first, that in the second persecution, it is necessary to go for at least 4-7 days, in another way, unfortunately ... It's karbofos. Good luck to you in this difficult matter. If you have any questions - write, maybe, than I will help)) By the way, I do not advise you to call the Sanitary and Epidemiological Station - they poison it with the same karbofos (or its analogue - fufanon).

    We saw at home a couple of bedbugs and single bites, turned the whole room upside down, treated it with vinegar.But never found them in large quantities. With an open balcony under three blankets we sleep. Here, waiting for what happens ...

      Valeria, a couple saw - they crawled out to eat ... Vinegar will not help, it will only scare away for a while. And it turns out that you can get sick, and blankets will not help. Smear all the cracks with fish oil if karbofos is unacceptable for you (it really has an emitting smell). God help you.

    Tortured by the bugs. Called the company Clean City. The first time they tore 12,500 for three rooms. Bedbugs become even more. After 7 days, they called for a guarantee for 800 rubles. We arrived, they said that they had made only a barrier, we need another 4,800 rubles to erase everything. They paid for it: they poisoned it, they left, on the second day the bugs became even more. The feeling is as if, on the contrary, they were planted. How to continue to do not know ...

    All this is complete nonsense about vinegar, dichlorvos, etc. We processed - and sense? It seems that they have become more. Service - this is also nonsense, caused the same result. And these services would only pull the money ...

    An aunt from SES came to us, doused everything everywhere. But she immediately warned that the treatment of SES is only the first stage (it will destroy bugs, but eggs will survive).Then you need to call again in a week, or repeat the processing on your own. Moreover, one remedy (aerosol from the store) may not help, because these reptiles may have immunity, so you need to buy three pieces from different companies and process this hellish mixture again. But that's not all! 🙁

    A month later, you need to re-process, even if no longer bite! Well, and all the things - that boil that frost that in the bathroom in boiling water, hold for a couple of hours, and then iron and iron everything 🙂 And more often vacuum the beds and sofas.
