Remedy for bedbugs and cockroaches Delta Zone: description and reviews

The drug Delta Zone is a modern microencapsulated insecticidal agent, which has a rather high efficiency against bugs, cockroaches and some other synanthropic insects. A feature of the drug is the almost complete absence of its smell, which is important in the case of its use inside the premises.

The Delta Zone is produced by the Korean company Kukbo Science Co., LTD. The tool is adapted for domestic use, and is sold in bottles of 50 ml, in which a specially prepared insecticide is contained in a highly concentrated form. Before use, the drug must be diluted with water in the proportions required by the instructions: one bottle, which you can buy for about 650 rubles, is enough to process about 100 m² of area.

Due to its sufficiently high efficiency, the Delta Zone allows you to reliably get rid of bugs and cockroaches by the forces of the occupants themselves. To use the tool, you do not need to be a professional disinsector or have special equipment — a conventional household spray bottle is sufficient.

Judging by the reviews of those people who have already seen the drug in action, often the struggle with bed bugs and cockroaches ends after the first treatment. In this case, the pronounced protective effect of the agent is noted for a long time after its use.

Feedback

“We just had a guard with these cockroaches - they were all over the house, they even crawled right over the child! They tried to poison with all sorts of boric powders, gels - all to no avail, cockroaches are very tenacious. As a result, Delta bought a zone on the Internet, diluted it and, after the first treatment, set the heat to the parasites so that they poked out of all the cracks. Poured from the walls as contused. Then scoop them for a long time collected. All the ventilation was closed with a net so that the neighbors would not come. It's been three months now for silence. ”

The active substance of the drug Delta Zone and the mechanism of its action on insects

The active ingredient of the drug Delta Zone is a very powerful insecticide deltamethrin. This substance has a contact and intestinal poisoning effect, as a result of which it can effectively destroy as blood-sucking insects (bugs, fleas) and not feeding on blood (cockroaches, ants, kozheedy beetles, etc.)

The contact mechanism of action of deltamethrin is based on its ability to quickly penetrate through the insect chitinous integument. Consequently, for a successful poisoning, for example, a cockroach or a bug, it is not at all necessary to force an insect to eat the drug - it is enough that the agent gets on its legs or on the surface of the body. After that, the insecticide penetrates into the internal tissues of the insect and leads to its poisoning.

The contact poisoning effect of the drug Delta Zone is especially important in the fight against bedbugs, which do not eat anything other than human blood, and it is simply impossible to make them eat the poison bait.

Having penetrated into the victim’s internal tissues, deltamethrin disrupts the nervous system, resulting in rapid paralysis and the subsequent death of an insect.At the same time, the substance is not dangerous for warm-blooded organisms (and for humans as well), since it is rapidly destroyed by the corresponding enzymes.

Thus, for the effective destruction of bedbugs and cockroaches, it is necessary to ensure that the insecticide hits the surface of the body of the insect. To solve this problem, the principle of microencapsulation of the active substance was used in the development of the Delta Zone drug - deltamethrin is in a colloidal solution in the form of microscopic capsules, which after surface treatment and evaporation of water remain here as the thinnest layer.

With the naked eye, the active substance on the processed materials cannot be seen, however, insects, running on such a surface, “get dirty” in microcapsules that stick to the legs and the body of the future victim.

The photo below shows the effect of sticking microcapsules on insects:

On a note

In the instructions for use and in some catalogs, the name of the drug is indicated as “Delta Zone.” The last abbreviation means microcapsule.

In the case of cockroaches and ants, the Delta Zone has a double effect (in addition to the contact poisoning effect, also an intestinal one): these insects constantly clean their paws and antennae with their jaws, and the preparation additionally gets them into the digestive tract. The bugs do not do this, however, as practice shows, their flat, wide body collects much more insecticide than cockroach paws, therefore bedbug poisoning comes too quickly enough, as evidenced by numerous reviews.

On a note

As mentioned above, one 50 ml Delta Zone bottle after dilution is enough to process approximately 100 square meters. However, it is important to understand that a surface of 100 m² does not mean the apartment's area, but the total area of ​​all surfaces to be treated, which includes the walls of the bedside tables, the surfaces of the sofas, the interior spaces of the cabinets, etc. In general, an ordinary two-room apartment should usually be bought two bottles of Delta Zone at once. It is useful to take into account the individual characteristics of the case: if cockroaches are present only in the kitchen or, for example, bugs are only in the bedroom, then sometimes a smaller amount of the drug will suffice.

 

The advantages and disadvantages of the drug

Perhaps the main advantage of the Delta Zone is its high effectiveness against bugs, cockroaches and many other insect parasites and pests. Moreover, tests of the drug by professional disinsection services in the most severe cases of apartment contamination showed that the Delta Zone often significantly surpasses some analogues on the market, and the tool can be successfully applied even in those rooms where other drugs did not have a pronounced effect on insects.

Feedback

“Tell me where to buy Delta Zone in Tver? My sister from Yaroslavl called me, saying that at one time they brought out all the bugs from the old mother's apartment, and the mole also disappeared right away. And I have all the shops ran around and nowhere about such a tool have not even heard. And somehow I’m afraid to order via the Internet ... ”

Yana, Tver

Also Delta Zone is different from most traditional insect control products no smell - even immediately after the treatment of the apartment, there are no toxic aromas at all. At the same time, there are many cases when apartment tenants simply had to throw out furniture,which for months is able to keep in itself an unpleasant "medical" odor after the apartment has been treated by some disinsection services or SES.

Other advantages of the drug:

1. Prolonged action - in those places where the tool is not washed off during wet cleaning, it retains its effectiveness for several months. This means that even if, for example, a month after the treatment, the larvae survive from bedbug eggs, they are not likely to last for a few days with a high probability.
2. Barrier effect - the drug provides reliable protection against insect penetration from neighbors (to be more precise, insects penetrate, but crossing the corresponding “barrier” in the form of a surface treated with a preparation, for example, ventilation, quickly dies shortly thereafter).
3. The absence of stains and drips on the furniture in those places where the drug was applied.
4. Safety for humans and pets. Of course, the Delta Zone is not water, but poison for insects, but if the instructions for use are followed, the drug does not cause any discomfort or signs of poisoning in humans and animals.

With regard to the shortcomings of the funds, then, perhaps, the main drawback of the drug Delta Zone from the point of view of the consumer is its price. A bottle that is enough to handle a one-room apartment can be bought for about 650 rubles. This causes many to use even less effective, but not so expensive means - for example, boric acid or old odorous Karbofos.

In addition, deltamethrin is ineffective against bedbug eggs (as well as all insecticides belonging to the pyrethroid class). Although in practice this is not so important: the larvae hatching from the surviving eggs quickly die, since the microcapsules of the drug retain their activity on the treated surfaces for a very long time.

On a note

Another of the disadvantages of the Delta Zone can be considered some difficulty in purchasing the drug. You can buy it only via the Internet: in Moscow or St. Petersburg, the buyer will receive the order within 1-2 days, while the drug can be delivered to other regions of Russia for more than a week. People who need to remove bedbugs as soon as possible are not always ready to wait so long.

Feedback

“We tried to buy it in Rostov - it's useless, there is no Delta Zone here, only they send it by mail from a store on the Internet. Well, God bless him, we do not burn. Ordered, arrived. Dissolved strictly according to the instructions, processed so that not a single millimeter of dry left. And no smell, but really a bunch of dead cockroaches collected. Three months was a beauty! So what? Then the neighbors began to sully something at home, so the cockroaches from them to us out of despair crawled. They die slowly, but it looks like the war is not over yet. ”

Valentin, Rostov-on-Don

Despite certain shortcomings, the combination of consumer characteristics of the drug Delta Zone makes it currently one of the most preferred options in cases where bedbugs or cockroaches should be removed as quickly and safely as possible, without unpleasant odor in the room and without the risk of poisoning yourself.

 

Instructions for use Delta Zone

Depending on which insects are supposed to be destroyed, Delta Zone concentrate is bred differently:

1. Cockroaches, flies - 50 ml of product per 3.5 liters of water;
2. Bedbugs, fleas, ants - 50 ml per 5 liters of water;
3. Mosquitoes, mol - 50 ml per 10 liters of water.

The resulting solution can be poured into a conventional household spray (spray).

Then, in the case of the destruction of bedbugs and cockroaches, the following actions are taken:

1. Access is provided to all places of possible insect shelters - baseboards, walls behind carpets (it is advisable to remove the carpets from the walls), back walls of bedside tables and sofas, inner surfaces of sofas, mattresses (in case of bed bugs destruction), shelves in storerooms and closets.
2. It is advisable to hide dishes, laundry and children's toys in plastic bags.
3. All people (except the handler) and pets leave the room. If the apartment has an aquarium, then it is covered with glass.
4. Further, from the sprayer all surfaces are sprayed over which insects can potentially move. The approximate consumption of the finished working solution is 50 ml per square meter of non-absorbent surface, or 100 ml for well-absorbing. Particular attention should be paid to the box doors and windows, ventilation ducts and baseboards, when breeding cockroaches - the back surface of the refrigerator and stove, and when breeding bugs - mattresses and sofas.
5. After spraying, the apartment is left for 2-3 hours so that the preparation dries out and adheres to the surfaces.
6. After 2-3 hours, you can do a wet cleaning in the apartment (at the same time hard-to-reach places that people and pets do not touch, it is not recommended to wipe it down - in order to maintain a long-lasting protective effect after treatment).

Feedback

“Thanks to the creators of Delta Zone. Before this tool used a lot of other chemicals, from dichlorvos to kerosene, but the bugs immediately appeared again. We have half a house infected. After applying the Delta Zone for three months, not even a hint of insects, although after that we had already managed to do the rearrangement and washed the whole apartment many times. At the same time, the neighbors have bugs and cockroaches, but we are clean. We used two cans of money for a two-room apartment. ”

Lyudmila Ivanovna, Kaliningrad

It should be borne in mind that bugs or cockroaches can enter the room from their neighbors. Therefore, even if in your apartment the entire insect population is completely destroyed, but at the same time at the neighbors, for example, there is a real stinker, then, of course, bloodsuckers will visit you regularly.Due to the barrier effect of the drug Delta Zone, most of the bugs will die immediately after migration, but in order to solve the problem reliably in such a situation it is desirable to cooperate with neighbors and fight insects together.

 

Safety rules when using the tool

Despite the fact that the drug Delta Zone is odorless and its active substance is enclosed in microcapsules, nevertheless, working with the tool, as with insecticides in general, requires compliance with standard safety rules:

1. Processing should be carried out in long-sleeved clothing, a respirator, rubber gloves and protective glasses.
2. During processing, do not eat in the same room.
3. If the working solution or concentrate comes in contact with the skin or eyes, rinse with plenty of clean running water.
4. If the room is very large, then during processing every 40-50 minutes you need to take a break for at least 10 minutes, during which the handler leaves the apartment for fresh air.

Careful attention should be paid to owners of cats and cats - these animals are very sensitive to pyrethroids in general and to deltamethrin in particular.

Summing up, we can say that the Delta Zone preparation, by the totality of its indicators and characteristics, is a rather interesting modern insect repellent that allows to solve problems with parasites and pests even in cases when other remedies do not work.
