The modern market of insecticides today is rich in the presence of various drugs on it for the destruction of domestic bugs. But, unfortunately, not all of them are effective enough in the fight against blood-sucking parasites. Some drugs cause bedbugs to become persistently addicted to them, while others have a fairly high toxicity and are therefore harmful to living organisms. People rightfully ask the question: how to choose the best? Among many insecticides, such a product as “HECTOR” stands out. This is a highly effective and completely safe product. "HECTOR" will get rid of insects after a single use.
Advantages and disadvantages
The remedy for bedbugs Hector, like any drug with a similar effect, has a number of advantages and disadvantages that set it apart from its competitors. The main advantages of the drug are:
- Safety and low toxicity. The product poses a threat only if it enters the body of a person or pet. Does not contain dangerous pesticides. Causes short-term redness upon contact with exposed skin.
- The absence of a sharp unpleasant odor, which is what most anti-bedbug products are famous for. After treating the room, no additional ventilation is required.
- It is not addictive, which is why its effectiveness increases several times.
- Affordable price, the product is not in short supply. Purchased at a pharmacy or hardware store.
Disadvantages include:
- To kill bedbugs, direct contact of the parasites with the powder is required. To get rid of a large population, you will need to sprinkle the powder in places where bedbugs accumulate: in mattresses, bedding, behind baseboards, in cracks, window and door openings.
- Does not destroy eggs and larvae of bedbugs, which will require repeated treatment after 5-7 days. It is necessary until the larvae develop into adults and lay new eggs.
- A draft poses a danger to the drug: a blow of wind can disperse the active ingredients throughout the apartment before they come into contact with parasites. Before treating the apartment, it is necessary to tightly close the windows and doors or pour the product into the cracks in the floor and walls.
How to ventilate a room
Traps for bedbugs
To achieve maximum treatment effect, it is necessary to prevent insects from accessing the liquid. To do this, bathtubs and sinks are wiped dry, and the taps must be turned off. Do not leave wet laundry in the room where the treatment was carried out.
You can make traps from poison. To do this, take any container, for example, a jar lid. A thin layer of powder is poured into it and placed under the furniture. This method will help destroy surviving insects.
Three to four hours after treatment, all dead insects must be removed. The traps are left for several weeks. There is no need to ventilate the room, since the drug does not have a specific odor.
Composition and principle of action
The main active ingredient in Hector against bedbugs is silicon dioxide. In contact with the body of the parasite, the chemical element is quickly absorbed by the body and immediately destroys the bug from the inside. The insect will not have time to lay eggs or move to a safe place.
The insecticide is not addictive, which increases its effectiveness. The average duration of the parasite after contact with the active substances of Hector is 22-24 hours.
Important! Silicon dioxide is used in medicines and some foods, so it does not pose a danger to the human body. But this does not mean that you should neglect personal protective equipment.
Hector powder destroys bedbugs in the following way: penetrating the insect’s body, it absorbs all the moisture. Due to static electricity, the parasite's shell is destroyed, which is why the bug loses its ability to move and soon dies from dehydration.
Bedbugs, unlike flies and cockroaches, are difficult to attract by the product in powder form. For the contract to take place, it is better to leave Hector near the nests of parasites and in places of their possible migrations. After 5-7 days, repeated treatment will be required to destroy the eggs and larvae of bedbugs.
More about the principle of operation
The product exhibits hydrophilic properties.
This means its ability to combine with water molecules. Upon contact with the chitinous coverings of insects, all moisture is lost from the body of the pests.
This is due to the fact that 1 molecule of the product can absorb up to 18 molecules of water. The powder also works on adults and larvae, but it is mostly used to destroy eggs.
If you treat areas where there may be bedbug eggs, the offspring of the pests will soon die. The protective shells will dry out, resulting in the death of the embryos. In addition, if it was not possible to treat all areas with powder, the adult individuals will carry particles of the substance into the nest. The powder lingers on the chitinous covers if the insect crawls over the poison.
Distinctive features of Gektor
It can also be used to kill adult individuals. However, such insects have the ability to quickly restore the supply of moisture in the body. To do this they use human blood. If you rely only on Hector for bedbugs, its use will not justify itself. Pests will continue to exist and multiply. As a result, the colony will increase in size.
Larvae die faster from this type of powder. They cannot yet suck out a lot of blood from the victim, which does not allow them to quickly replenish fluid losses. However, even direct contact with the poison (for example, if a large amount of the product gets on the shell) will gradually kill the adult, because as it moves from the shelter towards the victim, new particles of the substance are retained on the insect’s body.
It is important to keep the medicine closed. Contact with humid air will cause the silicon dioxide to lose its properties.
As a result, the substance will cease to perform its functions. You can purchase the powder in soft containers, multilayer bags, laminated bags with valves. The volume of packaging depends on the purpose of use of the product. For example, in domestic conditions it is better to use Gektor against bed bugs in packages of 100-300 g. For the treatment of industrial facilities, the option of purchasing the drug in a volume of up to 1500 g is considered.

How to use the product correctly?
Detailed instructions for use are indicated on the packaging. Due to the fact that the product has recently appeared on the market, the likelihood of purchasing a fake is extremely low. Therefore, follow the instructions written on the packaging strictly to get the maximum effect and protect yourself and your loved ones.
The best option is to distribute the product in places where parasites are most concentrated. Bedbugs prefer to lay eggs and build nests in mattresses, bed and sofa frames, behind baseboards, and in ventilation holes. Carefully check dark places with a constant air temperature - parasites can move there in case of danger.
Bedbugs, unlike cockroaches, feed exclusively on human blood, so it is difficult to attract them with powder. For the product to work, it must enter the body of the parasites through direct contact. This can best be achieved by spreading the powder over the detected nests and in places where bedbugs are likely to accumulate.
Attention! Pour some of the powder into the ventilation hole, on the top of the outlet, on wall shelves. Bed bugs can hide there.
How safe is Hector for humans and their pets?
The remedy against bedbugs Hector belongs to the fourth class of toxicity and, when used correctly, is not capable of harming the health of humans and pets.
Important! It is prohibited to use Hector in the presence of allergy sufferers, pregnant women and children.
A small amount of the product may enter the human body during room treatment. When it penetrates the gastrointestinal tract, it is not absorbed and is quickly eliminated, so its danger is negligible.
The drug should be kept away from small children, who may mistakenly inhale or swallow some of the toxic substances.
Hector's main active ingredient, silicon dioxide, is found in everyday life. It is found in toothpaste, milk powder, chips/crackers, and as an adsorbent medicine. A product that quickly and effectively destroys parasites is not capable of causing harm to humans and large animals.
Description and composition
Gektor appeared on the market at the end of 2022 and many buyers have already been able to appreciate it, as evidenced by positive reviews. The active component of the drug is finely dispersed hydrophilic silicon dioxide. This substance is chemically neutral, which makes it safe for human health and pets.
This component is also used for medical purposes. It is used as an absorbent when it is necessary to cleanse the digestive tract of toxins. Silicon dioxide is also used in the food industry as an additive E551. It is included in creams, pastes and thickeners.
How does the lethal agent work?
The base of the drug is a highly absorbent light powder.
When in contact with an insect, the powder particles, due to static tension, tightly cling to the waxy cuticle and begin to rapidly absorb the insect's fluid (hemolymph), causing its death from dehydration.
Simply put, the granules suck all the life-giving moisture out of the insect.
And thanks to the unique method of adhesion and the high absorbency of the powder, the insect will inevitably die at the slightest contact.
It takes weeks for highly toxic pesticides to reduce the population of bloodsuckers in an apartment. This happens for the following reason: they do not act on parasites instantly, and the reptiles have time to lay eggs.
Moreover, the new brood may have resistant properties to chemicals, which means repeated treatment will no longer help.
Unlike similar pesticides, GEKTOR powder particles immediately begin to absorb liquid from bloodsuckers, preventing a new generation from leaving behind.
For the same reason, the drug works effectively on both regular and resistant bed bugs, which can withstand a large number of chemicals existing on the Russian market (according to the manufacturer’s statements).
Instructions for use and price
The average price for the drug "HECTOR" against bed bugs is 500 - 550 rubles per 100 gram bottle. “HECTOR” against crawling insects costs about 300 rubles per 150 grams. It is available for free sale in specialized stores; you can order it online on the official website and by phone (video below).

How to use Hector
"Hector" is one of the effective and safe means
The Hector line of drugs consists of products for crawling insects and bed bugs. This is a specialized broad-spectrum product aimed at killing bedbugs, cockroaches, ants, ticks and fleas.
The poison is available in powder form. Its distinctive feature is that it contains absolutely no elements harmful to humans. Synthetic powder consists of small particles no larger than 5 mm in size. It has excellent absorption capacity and absorbs moisture in large quantities.
It is on this feature that the action of the product is based. As soon as the drug comes into contact with moisture, it begins to quickly draw out the liquid and absorb it. Faced with “Hector,” the bedbugs begin to die from dehydration. The time of death depends on the area of damage to the insect's body. On average, the parasite dies within 24 hours. Death occurs in any case, regardless of which part of the body the bug came into contact with the drug. In the process of dehydration, the insect weakens and loses its reproductive function.
Gektor against bed bugs, unlike chemical preparations with similar effects, acts gently and does not cause addiction to parasites. The active substance of the product is effectively used in medical and household treatments. It does not have a toxic effect on the human body.
Note! Many summer residents use Hector to treat their summer cottages against pests.
Hector against bedbugs can be purchased in two packaging options:
- For specialized companies involved in treating premises against parasites, the product is sold in soft containers in 100-1500 g packaging.
- Spray bottles up to 300 ml for home use.
When storing the drug, it is very important to maintain tightness. If the package is not tightly closed, the powder will begin to absorb moisture and lose its absorbent properties. Because of this, the effectiveness of the impact will weaken.
Room treatment process
Room treatment
Since hector against bed bugs is completely safe, you can treat it at home yourself. The process consists of several stages:
- finding nests;
- preparing the premises for disinfection;
- drug distribution;
- carrying out the necessary actions after processing.
Unlike similar products in the form of aerosols, the powder does not spread into the air. Therefore, it must be precisely placed in insect habitats.
Before you start processing, you need to carefully inspect the room. There are several characteristic signs that will indicate the presence of bedbug nests. These include:
- traces in the form of dots on wallpaper, window sills, baseboards;
- specific smell;
- chitinous shells.
After the inspection, the premises need to be prepared. To do this you will need:
- Open access to baseboards, back walls of upholstered furniture, wallpaper joints.
- Boil and steam all textiles, including rugs, pillows, blankets, and bed linen.
- Upholstered furniture is treated with hot steam.
The room processing process includes the following steps:
- the spout of the bottle is cut off;
- The product is applied in a thin layer evenly to the areas where parasites live. All wooden elements, carpets, and baseboards must be treated. The drug is distributed at the rate of 2 g per square meter.
Important! Despite the absence of harm from the drug to people, the manufacturer recommends adhering to a number of safety rules:
- When processing, you need to wear a respirator or mask.
- No food or drinks should be consumed during the process.
- Allergy sufferers should use the drug with caution.
- There should be no drafts in the room so that the powder does not rise into the air.
Reviews of Gektor against bed bugs indicate that it is almost impossible to get rid of parasites in one go. There are two reasons for this:
- the active component of the drug cannot destroy bedbug eggs;
- It is very difficult to decompose the powder in such a way as to ensure 100% contact of the poison with the parasite.
Most often it is necessary to re-process.
Advantages and disadvantages of the drug
Safety for people and animals
Gektor against bedbugs has a number of advantages compared to other drugs of similar action:
- It does not smell, since there are no oily impurities in the composition.
- Absolutely safe, as it contains no toxic chemicals.
- Effective impact. If the drug gets on an insect, it will definitely die.
- Long-lasting degree of protection.
- Possibility to process the premises yourself. There is no need to carry out complex preparation of the apartment.
Despite many positive reviews about Hector against bed bugs, the drug also has disadvantages:
- processing must be carried out very carefully, since the effectiveness will depend on the accuracy of application of the powder. To completely destroy parasites, there must be maximum contact with the drug;
- There remains a possibility of re-emergence of bedbugs, since the product does not penetrate the eggs, therefore, the larvae survive.
Note! In addition, the powder is dusty, so even a small draft can prevent the product from reaching the bedbugs.
Customer Reviews
Marianna, Rostov-on-Don: “In my life I would never have thought that I would encounter bed bugs. I change my bed quite often. I always wash it at 90 degrees. And then I began to notice bites both on myself and on my children. It turned out that there were parasites. I have been looking for a safe solution for a long time, since there are children in the house. I wanted to buy something effective, but at the same time safe for us. The store advised me to buy Hector for bedbugs. At first I was very confused by the fact that the drug was in powder form. I didn’t believe that I could help. Processing began on Friday evening, in accordance with the instructions. I poured it near the baseboards, behind the beds. The powder really doesn't smell at all. This is a huge plus. We have nowhere to go during the treatment period, so it is important that there is no smell of chemicals. Already on Saturday morning, my husband and I discovered the corpses of parasites. But ten days later I had to repeat the treatment, as the bedbugs appeared again. Overall, we are very pleased with the drug. Maybe not the first time, but we managed to get rid of the insects.”
Vladislav, St. Petersburg: “Two years ago we purchased a dacha, and the question arose about furniture. They didn’t want to buy a new one, so they looked through advertisements for used ones in good condition. We quickly found two sofas and armchairs. They brought it to the dacha and were very happy. But the happiness was short-lived. Our first night at the dacha ended with everyone waking up in the morning with bites. At first they thought it was mosquitoes, but after a while they found nests of bed bugs. My wife swore terribly. I wanted to hire a professional company to carry out disinfection. But they ask for so much money that my savings on used furniture are down the drain. I started looking for reviews myself to see what would be the best way to process it. “Hector” against bedbugs has won quite good reviews. I decided to try it. I’ll say right away that in a private house you will have to do neither one nor two treatments. There are a lot of cracks, you can’t see everything at once. We fought against parasites for 1.5 months, but we won. What I liked most was that I didn’t have to leave anywhere. The product does not smell and is safe for people.”
Note! The drug "Hector" belongs to the category of effective remedies against bed bugs and other types of parasites. Its popularity is due to its absolute safety for both people and pets.
No one will know that you had bedbugs
Often, families faced with a bed bug problem have to radically change their lifestyle. They have to forget about their usual routine and devote all their strength and time to fighting a sudden scourge.
By calling the SES, you will have to leave the apartment for an indefinite period, after which you will need to ventilate the apartment for a long time to remove the pungent odor.
Moreover, usually, one treatment is not enough, and you have to call “people in overalls” several times. After each treatment, thorough cleaning is required, because God forbid the remaining toxic substances enter your body.
Aerosols and other bedbug repellents available at the corner store are sometimes dangerous and have a strong smell, making them impossible to use, especially when you have children or pets.
Hector stands out from most existing bedbug control products. The drug will allow you not to disturb your neighbors, not to change your rhythm of life and, most importantly, not to worry about the safety of your loved ones.
Fighting bedbugs
Assortment of poisonous drugs
There are a large number of different sprays and gels to combat parasites. When choosing drugs, you need to evaluate them based on the following factors:
- degree of toxicity;
- safety for people and pets;
- ease of use;
- no smell.
The most convenient way to treat furniture is to use pastes and gels. They penetrate deep into the fabric well and do not leave stains.
Note! Among toxic agents, there are drugs with a cumulative effect. These include crayons. Once infected, the insect gradually poisons the remaining parasites.
Approved for household use
There are many insecticidal products available today, but most of them are approved for use only by licensed insect control services.
Due to the high content of toxic substances. Typically, such products have hazard classes 1 and 2 (extremely dangerous and highly dangerous).
GEKTOR belongs to the 4th hazard class, which is comparable to table salt.
This means: the drug can be safely used in your apartments and houses, without having any special education or experience.

Attention!
Household chemicals, pesticides and agrochemicals (chemicals used to control insects and rodents) are not subject to return or exchange.
See Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of January 19, 1998 N 55, clause 7.
Safety of Hector drugs for people and pets
All Hector drugs, in terms of acute toxicity when ingested in the stomach and on the skin, belong to class 4 hazardous substances, that is, the safest.
On a note
Fenthion, chlorpyrifos, lambda-cyhalothrin, etc., widely used in popular insecticidal preparations, belong to substances of hazard class 2 (hazardous compounds). For comparison: potassium cyanide, in terms of the degree of impact on the human body, is also characterized by hazard class 2.
In relation to humans and pets, Hector powder does not have a toxic effect when inhaled or accidentally swallowed (even if a relatively large amount is swallowed). As noted above, in medicine, preparations based on finely dispersed silicon dioxide are even specifically used internally as enterosorbents. Silicon dioxide is an inert substance, is not absorbed into the blood and is completely excreted unchanged from the body through the intestines.
Hector preparations do not cause allergies either when ingested or when applied to the skin.
On a note
Due to its high safety, silicon dioxide is used as a food additive in food products, added to cosmetics (for example, face creams and scrubs) and to toothpastes.
In other words, the peculiarity of Hector preparations is that they have a detrimental effect on bedbugs (and other insects), leading to rapid dehydration and death, and in warm-blooded animals, perhaps, they can cause some drying effect on the skin.
The composition of the insecticide and its effectiveness
The main component of the drug is finely dispersed hydrophilic silicon dioxide, which ensures its effectiveness!
It is worth saying that the manufacturer created 2 drugs called Hector. First of all, these are “GEKTOR against bed bugs” and “GEKTOR against crawling insects”, such as cockroaches, ticks, ants, fleas, woodlice, etc.
Both of these drugs are based on the same substance. It is noteworthy that, once on the body of the parasite, the drug immediately begins to act, leaving it practically no chance to survive or have time to lay offspring, as often happens when using other insecticides, resulting in offspring resistant to poisons.
According to the results of studies of the Hector line of drugs, the death of parasites occurs within 24 hours (no later), depending on the volume of powder that ended up on the parasite’s body. The more there is, the faster the parasite dies.
This mechanism is triggered due to the properties of silicon dioxide. It lies in the fact that with unusually small particle sizes they have enormous moisture capacity, that is, they absorb water.
This is interesting:
Depending on the production method, the particle size of synthetic silicon dioxide can reach 5 nm.
Having absorbed moisture, the particles firmly hold it on their surface. Accordingly, when Hector lands on the parasite’s body, he instantly draws out all the fluid (hemolymph) from it.
Hector kills bedbugs at all stages of development
Including larvae that have just emerged from eggs
Adult bedbugs
Individuals actively feeding and laying eggs
Nymphs of all ages
If a nymph runs where Hector is poured, she will die
First instar larvae
With Hector, it doesn’t matter whether bedbug eggs remain in the room - the larvae that hatch from them will die
Due to its long residual effect, Hector will kill even those bedbugs on which the powder could not be directly applied. If these bugs get out of their hiding places and run across the layer of product, they will die.
What to do if the bedbugs don't go away
Bedbug larvae are not destroyed by Hector.
One of the disadvantages of Hector for bedbugs is the need for repeated treatment. This is due to the fact that the active substance is not able to eliminate the parasite larvae located inside the egg.
Parasites can also survive if the treatment conditions were not met. For example, if there was a draft in the room, the powder could fly away, and the bugs would avoid contact with it.
If after treatment the insects appear again, repeated disinfection can be carried out after two to three weeks.
Heptral's analogs
Level 4 ATC code matches: Carnitine Chloride Carnitine L-Carnitine Heptral Carnitene Citrulline Gepadif Elkar
Analogues of the drug Heptor are the drugs Heptral and Adenosylmethionine , which have a similar effect on the patient’s body.
Which is better: Heptor or Heptral?
Both Heptor and Heptral are based on a similar active ingredient - ademetionine. Therefore, their effect on metabolism in human liver and brain cells is practically the same. Heptral is sold in the form of tablets, as well as injections for intravenous and intramuscular administration. The main differences are the manufacturer and cost of these drugs. Heptor is a domestically produced drug. Heptral is produced in Italy, so its cost is higher.
This is interesting:
This property of silicon dioxide is also used in medical preparations. In particular, as an absorbent when it is necessary to cleanse the stomach of toxic substances. Once in the body, such a powder is able to absorb poisons that have not had time to be absorbed into the blood.
As for the drug in the “GEKTOR against crawling insects” line, it also contains silicon dioxide, but not synthetic, but natural, in the form of diatomaceous earth.
Diatomite is a rock that is formed from small remains of the shells of diatoms. The absorption capacity of such powder is somewhat lower than that of synthetic powder, but it has more pronounced abrasive abilities.
The powder is tightly attached to the waxy cuticle due to static tension and destroys the insect's shell. Thus, the parasite loses its full ability to retain moisture in its body, resulting in its inevitable death from dehydration.
It must be remembered that the insecticide itself in powder form does not attract parasites at all, so success in the fight against bedbugs is achieved through proper treatment of the room.
Reviews about Heptor
By visiting a specialized forum or website, you can find numerous reviews about Heptor. Patients note the relatively low cost of the drug as an advantage, as well as the ease of use. Reviews from doctors indicate a positive effect after completing a course of treatment with the drug. An improvement in the condition is noted already during the treatment process, but you must definitely adhere to the treatment regimen that was prescribed by the doctor.

Hector from pests in the garden
Hector from crawling insects is a completely ready-to-use substance; it is a powder with a microscopic particle size of beige color.
The undeniable advantage of this drug is its unique natural composition, which is safe for humans and warm-blooded animals. The active ingredient of this product is natural silicon dioxide.
The drug works by causing a lot of microtrauma to the insect’s shell, due to which the chitinous shell is no longer able to retain moisture (Zacher effect) and the insect dies. Due to its abrasive properties, the powder has found wide use in the agricultural industry.
It is worth noting that this remedy is especially effective against crawling insects, but not flying ones, since they do not have full contact with the drug.
Another important condition for the product to work is dry, windless weather. The fact is that, when wet, silicon dioxide loses its ability to actively absorb moisture from the pest. And only when the powder dries does its effectiveness reach 100%. This feature of this insecticide should be taken into account and not treated with it in places where it is always wet!
As you open the summer season, remember that Hector is your faithful assistant in the fight for the harvest!
All the pros and cons of the drug
Like all bedbug medications, Hector has both positive and negative aspects. The advantages include:
- No smell
- 100% efficiency
- Does not cause resistance (addiction) in insects
- Completely natural composition (consists of silicon dioxide)
- Safe for humans and animals
- The validity period is unlimited (of course, subject to storage rules)
- Very easy to use
In addition, Hector is perfect for preventing the appearance of parasitic insects in your home. To do this, it is necessary to pour the drug along the main routes of entry of uninvited guests into the house, you can also scatter the substance around the perimeter of the house and fill all the cracks. Having such protection at home, insects will die only during one attempt to enter your home.
Feedback from our readers:
“I suffered for a long time at the dacha from ants, and they kept coming into our house. I tried folk remedies, but nothing helped! Until a neighbor recommended this miracle remedy to Hector. With the help of it, I spend the first season calmly. Many thanks to the manufacturer! I also use Hector in the garden, I’m very pleased. »
Despite all the undeniable advantages of the drug, it also has a number of disadvantages. Among which:
- Does not always act instantly, like chemical insecticides. If the insect is only slightly soiled with the powder, then it will take a long time to die. It may take several days to kill all the parasites, so be prepared and don't expect a very quick effect.
- If you are using a drug against garden pests, you must take into account the fact that while the powder kills the insects you need, it also kills any insects. Among them are often beneficial insects. Therefore, it is necessary to use the drug primarily in places where pests are most concentrated.
- Due to its lightness, the powder is very easy to spray. This is at least not very convenient, since any draft or wind and nothing will be left of the powder. This fact should be taken into account when processing the house.
To summarize, we can say that today this drug is superior to many other insecticides, which opens up endless possibilities for its use in everyday life.
