The destruction of bugs is a complex task, the solution of which must be approached fully armed. In the modern market of household insecticides, there are several dozen drugs that have proven themselves in the fight against these pests.

How does the executioner on bedbugs

Fenthion enters the body of bugs along with air. This insecticide affects the nervous system of the pest, paralyzes and leads to death. Poison is able to completely destroy parasites within 5-6 hours. Due to the fragrance of occurrence, the smell of kerosene – it acts on pests, like a bait. Due to this, the bugs crawl out of their crevices and receive a dose of poison.

With strict observance of the instructions, the executioner’s drug completely destroys adult insects, but it is not able to affect eggs. They are reliably protected and therefore at this stage of development there is no direct contact with air. Only after the larvae hatch, the insecticidal agent will begin to act on them. The complete destruction of all inhabitants of the colony of parasites can be expected 2 weeks after using the drug, when larvae appear from all eggs.
