Independent destruction of bedbugs in the house is a rather difficult task for an unprepared person. Although it is generally accepted that bed bugs can be poisoned just like cockroaches, but this is only partly true. The bugs are really dying from exposure to the same aerosol insecticides and sprays that kill cockroaches, but no gels, poison traps, bait with boric acid and various folk remedies (most of them) will not help to destroy them.
The reason for this lies in the specifics of eating bed bugs. These insects can only pierce the skin of humans and some pets, and then suck blood. They will not eat various baits or run into the houses with odorous attractants, and this should first be taken into account by those who have decided to take over the destruction of the bugs on their own.
Reviews even experienced parasite fighters clearly demonstrate all the difficulties in dealing with them.

“I know what the destruction of bed bugs is first-hand, and when I read other reviews, it becomes funny to me. Itself persecuted them first in the first apartment, then the second, then in the mother in the house, and this summer - in the country. Living, creatures, they are not always the first time they manage to destroy. We used to help the dust very well from them - we scattered it along the baseboards and under the beds when we left home. Then he was banned. At my mother, I hunted bedbugs using Cukaracha. It smells bad and needs to be diluted in a certain concentration. Brought two times, a week between them was a break. At the second apartment, when it was necessary to poison, Kukarachu did not find, bought Geth, I liked him more, because she has no smell. Once you sprinkle everything on them, and then you don't need to wash the floors for a week. And that's all, only you collect dead bugs. But geth dear. Therefore, when later in the country the bugs started, I bred a simple Karbofos. And what I will say is the best remedy at all. It smells, of course, but it bugs the bugs reliably, but it costs a penny.I don’t think that I will ever encounter them again, but if this happens, I’ll poison Karbofos. ”

Remedies for bedbugs for self-breeding
There are several types of products that effectively destroy bed bugs:
- Aerosol preparations - solutions of insecticides, already poured into cylinders with compressed gas for spraying. These include, for example, Combat, Raptor, Dichlorvos Neo, Dichlorvos Eco, Raid, Clean House, etc. They are most often used by housewives in the early stages of the fight against bedbugs due to ease of use. However, their use is rational only in case of a weak infestation of the room with bugs. For example, if the parasites are localized in only one chair, couch or computer system unit. Numerous reviews indicate that with a large number of bloodsuckers in the apartment, aerosol means either does not help, or it becomes too expensive to use them.
- Sprays, more precisely, insecticide concentrates, which for application must be diluted with water and poured into a household spray bottle for subsequent spraying as a spray.For example, this includes many professional means of disinsection such as Tetrix, Sinuzana, Diazinon and others, which have a very unpleasant smell and are quite toxic to humans. However, there are such drugs for domestic use - Lambda Zone, Hangman, Geth, Delta Zone, Medilis Tsiper and others. To destroy bugs with their help, you need to carefully, maintaining the necessary concentration of the solution and with the mandatory use of personal protective equipment.
- Some dusts - for example, Pyrethrum, Fenaxin, Karbofos in powder form. They are scattered in places of frequent encounters with bedbugs, and if the place is guessed exactly, then usually for several days the bugs are poisoned by contacting with a poisonous powder.
Powerful folk remedies such as denatured alcohol, turpentine and kerosene destroy bugs only with the direct processing of their nests. Those bugs that are physically impossible to reach with a solution will not be destroyed, and therefore such folk recipes cannot be considered reliable - just waste your time and create a fire-hazardous situation in the apartment.
Karbofos review and remedy for bedbugs Hangman:
“They poisoned bedbugs Karbofos.Moreover, two times and both times with different results. Houses destroyed them in one day, and never once saw one. After that, my wife's head was spinning for a long time - after all, it was a harmful tool. But at the dacha everything was processed in the same way, but the bugs remained. Travanuli again - the same effect. Then I just found out that if someone from the neighbors is constantly grass bugs karbofos, they get used to it and no longer die. Apparently, our neighbor treats the chicken coop to them. They tried to process the dacha by the Executioner - it turned out. Good tool, but expensive. 70 rubles for a small bottle, with which only one mattress can be processed. ”

Feedback on using Get and Tetrix tools:
“If you want to poison the bedbugs in the apartment - take Tetrix or Geth. Definitely. All the rest is so, children indulge. Especially all kinds of cans. Get has no smell, but somehow it seemed less effective to me. But Tetrix surprised. The bugs began to breathe in one room while I was still hunting in the other. The cupboard pushed aside - and they are already dead there. But, really, this Tetrix stinks just deadly. "

Method of destruction of bedbugs
The main task in the destruction of bedbugs is to ensure contact of the poisoning agent with their chitinous cover or respiratory system.That is why the drugs are produced in the form of aerosols or for spraying in the form of a spray - the smallest particles of insecticides are long in the air and enter the body of insects during their breathing, or settle on parasites and surfaces on which they move.
Effective remedies for bedbugs often have a contact poisoning effect, that is, even if they hit the body of a bug, they will penetrate into his body and lead to poisoning (preparations Lambda Zone, Delta Zone, Get, etc.). Such tools are very effective, many of them are odorless, but generally relatively expensive when compared to obsolete Karbofos.
Insecticide should be sprayed on the maximum number of surfaces, and places such as wardrobes, baseboards or beds can be simply treated from above. The more fully the whole room is processed, the less chance the bugs will survive.
After the procedure, the apartment should be closed for several hours and then cleaned.
If there were a lot of bedbugs in the room before processing, then even after the destruction of adults and larvae, eggs can survive here. Of these, in a few days new nymphs will appear who will start biting the inhabitants of the apartment.In these cases, one should not sin on the ineffectiveness of the drug used - even the most powerful insecticide may simply not fall on fixed eggs and not lead to their death.
Therefore, in many cases, re-processing of the room will be necessary. It should be carried out in 2-3 weeks after the first. During this time, all the larvae will hatch out of eggs, but none of them will have time to turn into an adult bug and lay new eggs.

“I tried the Bedbug from bedbugs right away. I did not read the reviews, I do not believe them. I really did not like this drug. It smells bad, toxic, in addition to it bought a respirator, gloves, a robe - in short, almost the same amount of money spent on protection. Klopov brought only the third time. Month almost lived with them. And this is despite the fact that after each treatment, live parasites were not found in the house. Probably it was better to call pest control. ”

And what if you call specialists?
In most cases, for the destruction of bedbugs in an apartment, it is easier and safer to call a special disinsection service, whose employees will process the room themselves and will guarantee that the parasites will not appear again.
The services of firms engaged in pest control cost about 3-4 times more than the owner of the premises will have to pay for an insecticidal drug alone. For example, in Moscow to destroy bedbugs in a one-room apartment costs about 2,000 rubles, while the cost of the Geth preparation, which is enough to process the same area, is about 750 rubles. But at the same time, reliable companies guarantee the destruction of bedbugs, but the result of self-processing even by an effective means is not always predictable.

“I remember how my grandmother flooded the apartment with dichlorvos, after which it was impossible to stay there for a week. In my apartment I immediately called a team of specialists and asked them that when I return, there was no smell or bugs in it. And indeed, all the bugs were destroyed, the apartment was aired for a long time, but when I entered, the smell was still felt. By the evening he had disappeared. ”

Safe destruction of bedbugs
With any chosen method of extermination of bedbugs, it should be remembered that agents that are toxic to parasites can have an effect on the human body.
Modern insecticides used in the preparations Geth, Hangman,Delta Zone, Agran, Zifoks, Kukaracha and others do not cause severe poisoning in humans when they hit moderate amounts inside.
But they can also cause an allergic reaction, dizziness, and other side effects. Therefore, when self-destruction of bed bugs should be used:
- respirator or gauze bandage
- gloves
- headdress
- glasses
- clothes with long sleeves.
Before processing the room, care should be taken to ensure that no people or pets are in the apartment. If the apartment has an aquarium, it should be covered with a cover glass and the compressor turned off.
Folk flammable products such as kerosene or alcohol are generally not recommended for the destruction of bed bugs, since they permanently leave the smell in the room and create the risk of fire.

“In our family, bugs only bit their daughter, she didn’t even have a year old then. All the time bitten in the morning I woke up, we ran, searched for mosquitoes and did not find it. Only once I caught while cleaning a bedbug and almost fainted. I really started hysterics.I called my husband from work, called the hotel and went there for two days with a little one. Husband flooded the entire apartment with some new Dichlorvos, he spent the night in it, and the next day he came down. Probably poisoned. The bugs disappeared, we specifically checked all the sofas and carpets - only the dead were found. Two days later we returned to the apartment, my husband became normal a day later and he went to work. ”

How to detect bedbugs in the house and get rid of them yourself
Ordered processing in the company. Spent quickly and without smell. Now there are no bugs.
People, what are you so naive? It is not difficult to notice that after the announcements about the destruction of bedbugs at the entrances and pillars, they appear - these are the hucksters especially throw them up so that they can save money for themselves!
I never thought that I would see bugs in my life. That's horrible! Caused disinfectants. Processed. I am waiting for a week, 10 days, have spread everywhere: on the ceiling, in the closet. I called another company, after 2 days I sleep on the couch and there are no bedbugs. Super. And then the depression has already begun.
I work with a pest control company. I work in St. Petersburg and Moscow. In fact, processing is not very expensive - from 1500 rubles. for one-room apartment. The guys give a guarantee, work under the contract. The question of the destruction of bedbugs or other insects depends on the degree of infection.And if you, for example, carried out a pest control at your place, and the bugs came to you from neighbors, then, most likely, in 2 months they will appear again.
