Cucaracha bedbug remedy is a fairly effective and readily available insecticide that is often used even by professional pest control services. The drug is available in liquid form in bottles of 50 ml and 1 liter.
The tool has a bluish color and not very pleasant sharp smell.
The composition and principle of action of the drug
Cucarats for bedbugs can rightly be called a potent agent, because it contains two time-tested and well-proven insecticidal substances that complement each other's actions:
The first component is cypermethrin (20%). This chemical of the pyrethroid group has a contact-intestinal action against parasites. Getting into the digestive tract or chitinous cover, it blocks the nerve impulses of the affected insect, after which the parasite dies.
Cypermethrin for a long time retains its effect, being deposited on the surface: about 20-30 days. It is insensitive to ultraviolet and the effects of high ambient temperatures. Cypermethrin studies have shown that bed bugs, like many other parasitic insects, are practically unable to develop resistance to this drug.
The second active ingredient of the Cucaracha tool is malathion (10%). It is also a nerve poison that can completely disrupt the insect's nervous chain and make it impossible to transmit nerve impulses.
Unlike Tsipermetrina, malathion is highly volatile and does not linger on surfaces for a long time. In some cases, insects can produce resistance to malathion: they begin to produce enzymes that break it down. However, in practice this happens only with long-term use of malathion in its pure form. Being combined with cypermethrin, malathion complements and enhances the effect of the latter, causing a fairly rapid death of all insects in the house.
The maximum effectiveness of the Cucaracha remedy for bedbugs is maintained for 3 days from the time of treatment. This is quite enough to destroy the bedbug population in the apartment.
Instructions for use
Before using the drug, it is necessary to prepare an aqueous solution from it. To do this, take 2.5 grams of Kukarachi and add this amount to 1 liter of water at room temperature, stirring continuously. After this, the solution is ready for use, it is not necessary to insist.
The consumption of the product is approximately 50 ml per square meter, and if the surface has a high absorption capacity (for example, untreated wood), then the consumption may increase to 100 ml / m2.
Feedback
“Girls, now I will tell you everything, I work as a janitor in a hostel. We even when tightly stump all the bugs, in a couple of months someone will bring them. Therefore, I managed to try 12 different tools. The most reliable is Tetrix, but it cannot be found anywhere, its sanitary and epidemiological stations are used. We bought it there. It stinks scary, they can be processed only in summer, when there are no students. There is also Cucaracha.It smells tolerant, also displays good. Well, that it is enough for a lot of rooms. One liter for 1,850 rubles kills bugs on three floors, but this is only if it is properly diluted. ”

The finished solution of Cucaracha is placed in a conventional household spray bottle, which greatly simplifies the process of applying the drug. First, the places in the apartment where bugs or their nests were found are processed - in furniture and storerooms, under wall panels and baseboards.
Then you can start spraying all hard-to-reach places where these insects can also hide. It is worth paying special attention to the following areas:
- rear and side surfaces of furniture
- sofa or bed frame
- space under the windowsills
- slit under the baseboards.
Do not neglect the final stage of processing from bedbugs, which allows you to avoid the danger to people and animals living in the house. After processing, you need to open all the windows and ventilate the apartment for at least three hours. Then you have to rinse all surfaces with soapy water, which neutralizes the action of active poisons.
The next treatment should be done in two weeks - this will help to destroy those bugs that have not yet hatched from the eggs during the first baiting.
Precautionary measures
Cucaracha is a fairly toxic remedy for bedbugs, the instruction of which requires strict adherence to safety rules at work. The drug belongs to the second class of danger on the international scale and can have a detrimental effect on the health of people and animals.
Although cypermethrin and malathion are effectively neutralized in the gastrointestinal tract of humans and animals, the action of large doses of them can lead to an allergic reaction and mild intoxication. Symptoms of poisoning are nausea, dizziness, impaired reactions, lack of coordination of movements, convulsions and lethargy. Studies have shown that malathion can accumulate in the body of warm-blooded animals and cause cancer - but only with constant exposure.
In accordance with the instructions, after using the Cucaracha tool for the control of bedbugs, in no case should the rest of the compound be poured into the sewer system or water bodies. This poison is very toxic to fish and can disrupt the balance of life support of water bodies.
Feedback:
Kukarach was advised to me by his neighbor - he has the same "bug" problem, and by that time I had already tried one completely stupid tool. The impression of the first treatment is only positive: the minimum of the stench (not at all compared with market handicrafts) is also quite economical, although considering the low price, this is not the main thing. From my own experience, I can say that it is better to heat the water a little when diluted - this is how the chemicals will quickly go into a dissolved state.

Before you begin, you must always think about the individual means of chemical protection. Disinsectors use a gas mask and a special suit, but at home you can choose old unwanted clothing (which you will then need to throw away), a respirator, shoe covers, gloves and goggles.
Do not neglect any of the paragraphs of the instructions relating to the safety of the procedure for treating the apartment from bedbugs using the Cucaracha tool. We note here, for example, that all tenants and livestock are necessarily removed from the house. Aquariums tightly closed. It is advisable to wrap all foodstuffs with plastic film and hide them in cabinets.
Where and how much you can buy Kukarach.
Buy remedy for bedbugs Cucaracha is not so difficult, although it is not the most common on the market for household insecticides. It is usually sold by hardware stores or special points for the sale of insect repellent products.
You can also buy Kukaracu via the Internet with delivery. The average price is about 170 rubles for 50 ml and 1,500 rubles for 1 l. Due to the relatively low price and low consumption, Cucaracha can be attributed to one of the most economical drugs for bedbugs.
If you plan to handle an average apartment or a private house, one bottle of money (50 ml) should be enough with a large margin. To acquire a larger volume makes sense only in cases where it is planned to process, for example, the entire multi-storey building, dormitory or institution. Also, a large amount of buying professional pest control.
Reviews
“I didn’t want to call the station because there is no possibility to leave home for a while. On Kukarachu reviews were just wonderful, so we decided to try. All the more ridiculous price of 160 rubles, throw it is not a pity. I sprinkled all the places where these parasites can hide - both the bed (without a mattress) and behind the lockers and the baseboards.Much to our surprise, the bugs disappeared without a trace. It’s written on the packaging that in two weeks we still need to process it, but everything is already fine with us. ”

Feedback:
“We live in a communal flat and we have a bed of bedbugs here. We will remove it from ourselves - they are fleeing from their neighbors, and so constantly. They wanted to call the SES, so the neighbors are against - they say they are ready to poison only with their own forces. I looked on the Internet - about the means of Cucaracha respond well, but it is inexpensive. We bought a large bottle and half of it was enough to handle the entire floor. All the bugs disappeared sharply, though only for ten days. When they appeared again, they sinned at the inefficiency of the remedy. But it turned out - you just need to process it again. After re-processing the bugs are gone and now they have been gone for a year. Now I think, to buy this means for prophylaxis - suddenly they will appear in the country ”.

Of course, for self-destruction of bedbugs, you can try different drugs. However, we should not forget that professional insecticides are often very toxic and require special skills in working with them. Therefore, it is best to choose an agent adapted for household needs, and Cucaracha is just one such example.

Very good tool Cucaracha. One treatment, but careful - and no bugs.
Hello Svetlana. Tell me, please, I have a 2 room apartment, how many Cucaraties will I need to buy? Is a second treatment necessary and is it harmful to humans? Thank you for your attention, a lot of bedbugs.
Cucaracha is a very good tool. Call experts for processing, I now have no bugs.
Very good tool, I advise everyone.
This is a dummy, and not a tool, it does not help, the bugs both have been and remain. Do not buy money down the drain.
Agree with ARSEN. Bullshit full.
At first it seemed that the tool was not very effective, but in reality the problem was that the insects continued to crawl from their neighbors. Finding and eliminating small gaps in the ceiling, the remains of bugs destroyed without problems. To enhance the effect, add a little karbofos powder to the solution.
The tool works, checked many times. Careful treatment with one time kills the entire colony in a room or bed. If it does not help, look for where new bugs appear from.
Poraku kukarachey, three days was not there and again began. What do I do not know.
Lazha this your Cucaracha. On the living checked. Do not die from it. Processed the entire apartment, throwing in the wind 2400 rubles. And the result is this: they threw out all the upholstered furniture. We bought Karbofos and we will be poisoning again tomorrow. I will say right away, they poisoned me carefully: they dismantled all the furniture, the sofa and chairs were disassembled in parts, they shed everything very well. But to sense zero. They met a couple of prehighs, but the rest of them are running around alive.
2400 ?! How many square meters do you have? Two bottles (50 ml each) are distributed per two-piece (49.7 sq. M. By floor). 200 + 200 = 400 rubles in total!
So it was overdue. I once had enough, although there were many in the hostel.
We have less than 240 rubles. not. Soon, too, we will poison kukarachey)
Only poisoned Kukaraci, waiting for the effect. As we will see the result - I will write.
All this is nonsense.We have a small bottle in Cherepovets worth 240 rubles. Poravila - the next night just ran. I do not know what the effect is here ...
I poisoned it with Super Fas, after 2 weeks they appeared again ... I freaked out and treated them, only more carefully: I soaked the furniture, the walls above and below, the floors. Gone exactly for 1 year. I realized that climb from a neighbor, and she denies. Going to try kukarachu, only in powder. Maybe someone will tell you, after processing, you need to leave the apartment for a few days? Or only for 2-3 hours?
Tell me, kukarachey can splash on the mattress and clothes, or not?
Complete crap, not a fig helps. After it, I take a steam cleaner and on the sofa - and they crawl out.
