Hector against bed bugs is an absolutely safe drug for people

Hector against bed bugs is a preparation based on silicon dioxide. Completely non-toxic for people and pets, does not cause poisoning or allergies, and does not irritate the skin and mucous membranes.

Due to its high hygroscopicity, it damages the chitinous covers of any arthropods, leading to their dehydration and death within 3-4 hours after contact with the product. The video shows how quickly Hector kills bed bugs:

Hector does not require complex emergency treatment of the premises, since its shelf life is not limited and it continues to poison bedbugs for as long as it remains dry and is stored in places where parasites move. However, the more insect nests that are treated directly, the faster it will be possible to remove all of them from the premises.

Active ingredient - component of toothpastes and tablets

The active ingredient and main component of Hector against bed bugs (98% of the total product) is fine silicon dioxide. This substance is chemically neutral and does not cause poisoning or damage to internal organs in humans or domestic animals. It is used in the food industry and added to pastes, thickeners, and various creams.

In medicine, silicon dioxide is included in tablets and toothpastes, in cosmetology - in creams and pastes. That is, it is completely safe both in contact with skin or mucous membranes, and when swallowed.

This is what industrial silicon dioxide looks like:

And so - Hector:

To make Hector, this powder is additionally purified from aggregates and stuck together particles so that the resulting substance is as finely dispersed as possible and easily adheres to the surface of the insect’s body.

When poured correctly from the bottle with pressure on it, the powder is sprayed out in the form of a stream of fine dust, and therefore no lumps or clots remain in it. This increases its penetration and effectiveness.

How to properly use against bedbugs

Hector is produced in bottles with a lid and an applicator, thanks to which you can easily treat even the most inaccessible places.

The drug does not need to be mixed with water or prepared in any way for use.

All that is necessary is to cut off the spout of the bottle to create a hole and spray the contents of the bottle into places where insects accumulate, move and live.

You can also use a bristle brush to push the powder into crevices and cracks.

Attention: the product must be applied to a dry surface!

To be effective, the following areas must be treated:

• joints of parts in beds, sofas, armchairs,
• cracks in the walls,
• along the baseboards,
• under the window sills,
• in places where wallpaper is peeling,
• carpets and the space under them,
• socket boxes and household switches. (Important: do not apply the product directly to the contacts!)

Particular attention should be paid to the sleeping area: remove the bed linen, treat the frame, internal parts, joints and cracks. Don't forget the slatted bottom, bed legs, mattress and pillows, paying particular attention to seams and folds.

How does Hector destroy bedbugs?

Hector's active ingredient leads to dehydration of insects.

Silicon dioxide particles are very small, due to which the total surface area is very large. For example, the total surface area of ​​particles weighing 1 g is 348 square meters. At the same time, the powder is drier than the surfaces of insect bodies and, when it comes into contact with them, it begins to attract moisture and fats.

In particular, upon contact with the chitinous cover of bedbugs, Hector causes a cascade of sequential reactions:

1. Attracts wax particles to itself, which prevent the evaporation of moisture from the surface of the insect's body. The chitinous cover, instead of a complete shell, turns into a “sieve”;
2. Through the formed pores, liquid begins to be intensively drawn onto itself;
3. At the same time, the moisture from the bug’s body evaporates on its own, without a barrier in the form of a wax layer;
4. The insect dies from dehydration.

This is how, for example, a cockroach dies if it gets into kieselguhr, a natural silicon dioxide:

Technical silicon dioxide is even more effective, since its particles are smaller and more actively draw wax and moisture from the insect’s body.

The more product gets on the bug, the faster it will die. At the same time, due to its fine dispersion, the powder very easily sticks to the legs and abdomen of bedbugs running over it. As a result, insects die, even after running over Hector only once.

At the same time, Hector has no expiration date. As long as it remains on the surface and remains dry, any insect running here collects it and then dies. This compares favorably with acute insecticides, which “wear out” in a few days, or in the best case, in 2-3 weeks.

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).

Many people recommend this remedy for bedbugs. Read >>>!

But, it’s worth noting: Hector helps against eggs only if the powder gets directly on them.

Hector destroys any arthropods

Hector is equally effective against any invertebrate with an exoskeleton. In particular, it destroys:

• Bed bugs
• Cockroaches of all types - red, black, Turkmen, furniture
• Muravyov
• Fleas and their larvae
• Mites, both dust and ixodid
• Spiders
• Millipedes, including nods and flycatchers
• Moist
• All types of moths - food moths, clothes moths, various moths
• Adult stages of beetles - beetles, longhorned beetles, weevils, skin beetles - and their openly living larvae (for example, weevil larvae). Grinder and longhorned beetle larvae cannot be destroyed with the help of Hector, since they develop deep into the cavities of wooden objects
• Fly larvae
• Slugs and snails

However, it is more effective to poison insects that can eat Hector - cockroaches, ants, silverfish - with a special Hector against cockroaches. It acts faster due to the addition of boric acid.

At the same time, animals living in damp places can theoretically escape after contact with the powder. If, for example, a slug, after crawling over Hector, manages to climb under a stone onto water-soaked soil, it will be able to compensate for the loss of moisture from the wet soil. Therefore, Hector is designed to combat insects specifically in rooms where all sources of moisture can be eliminated in advance.

Where can I buy?

Hector bedbug repellent is sold in hardware stores, pharmacies, and household chemicals departments. It is possible to order insecticide through the online store. The price is low and allows you to purchase Hector for self-treatment of the room. A 100 g bottle will cost 400-500 rubles.

Due to the fact that the drug has recently appeared on the market, the likelihood of purchasing a fake is very low.

Hector is one of the few remedies that effectively fights domestic parasites and at the same time does not harm the owner’s wallet. To avoid the need to re-treat the premises, carefully observe safety precautions and follow the instructions during disinsection.

Insects die after contact with Hector within 4 hours

To test the effectiveness of the product, we conducted two experiments. In the first, a little powder was poured into a container and adult active bedbugs were simply planted there. Here we tested how quickly insects die upon contact with the product and how effectively the powder adheres to their legs.

In the second experiment, the powder was poured into a special cardboard shelter to check whether bedbugs were not afraid of it and would not avoid the areas in the apartment treated with it.

In the first experiment, all the bugs planted in a container with Hector died after 4 hours. Three out of four bedbugs died after 3 hours. At the same time, the powder was poured into the container in neat slides, but the bugs got very dirty in it and spread it over the entire area. From the experiment we can draw conclusions:

1. Bed bugs actually die from just one contact with the product. To do this, you do not need to directly pour the powder onto the insect - it is enough for the parasite to simply run over Hector’s layer;
2. Bedbugs quickly and easily become contaminated with the powder; it quickly sticks to the surface of their bodies.

Actually, video of the experiment:

In the second experiment, all bedbugs died after 5 hours and 20 minutes. At the same time, they had contact with Hector only when they climbed into an improvised shelter made of cardboard. From this experiment the following conclusions can be drawn:

1. Bedbugs are not afraid of powder and do not avoid the places where it is poured;
2. To kill bedbugs in an apartment, Hector can be applied only in places where parasites regularly visit. There is no need to sprinkle the product along all the baseboards and pollute the room.

Watch the video for the full test:

Instructions for use

Before processing there is no need to wear respiratory protection, glasses or closed clothing - you should only use ordinary rubber (or latex) gloves.

Processing stages:

1. Remove food and drinking water from the premises so that the drug does not come into contact with them.
2. Carry out wet cleaning and move the furniture so that there is access to remote areas, crevices, etc.
3. Wait until the surfaces are completely dry, you can wipe them thoroughly and ventilate the rooms.
4. Carefully cut off the tip of the top of the bottle cap.
5. Spray the powder, paying special attention to places where pests accumulate, in particular the space under and behind radiators, baseboards, shelves and cabinets, back walls of appliances and furniture.
6. There is no need to carry out wet cleaning after treatment, as this will weaken the effectiveness of Hector.

The product is simple and easy to use; a standard 500 ml bottle is enough to disinfest an average one-room apartment; therefore, for a larger area, you need to purchase several tubes.

There are no bedbugs or other insects resistant to Hector

In principle, no insects can develop resistance to Hector. This is due to the fact that the drug acts not chemically, but mechanically. It is chemical insecticides that can be neutralized by certain proteins, which, as a result of mutations, begin to produce resistant individuals in the body. Insects cannot neutralize the dehydrating agent by any means.

This means that in any room any arthropods will die if they get sufficiently dirty in Hector. That is, Hector can destroy any synanthropic invertebrates. If this cannot be done, it means that either the product is being applied incorrectly, or insects are entering the room again and again from the outside.

• As a conclusion

"HECTOR for ants" is a modern contact-intestinal insecticide. Provides reliable protection against annoying ants for a long time. The effectiveness of the application has been confirmed by practice - the drug is used not only at home and in the country, but also in business - farms, catering establishments, etc.

The material contains detailed instructions for use (purpose, composition, regulations for use, restrictions and safety, etc.)

Absolute safety for people and pets

Hector is completely safe for people and pets. The powder does not lead to any undesirable consequences if it comes into contact with the skin or mucous membranes, and is harmless if swallowed or accidentally inhaled.

It is believed that if a large amount of powder gets into the respiratory tract, irritation may occur. However, for this to happen, Hector must be intentionally inhaled in significant quantities - this will not happen with him during normal operation.

Including the product is safe if:

1. It gets on the fur of a cat or dog, and it is then licked off;
2. People (including children) accidentally get powder on their hands;
3. The bed frame is treated with Hector and it partially settles on the mattress. It is enough to cover the mattress with fresh linen to prevent body contact with the product;
4. The powder will get on a person’s hands or face when processing the room;
5. Hector particles will get into the air during drafts, sudden opening of doors, and with the air they will penetrate the human respiratory tract. The amount of such an inhaled drug will be negligible, and its effect will be similar to that of ordinary household dust.

It is important to remember that silicon dioxide is used in the medical industry as part of tablets and pastes; products based on it are used, among other things, to cleanse the stomach and intestines. This means that Hector is as safe as, for example, standard toothpaste, or most tablets.

Room treatment and precautions

We usually start treating the room with HECTOR from the sleeping areas. These are the places where we usually sleep and relax: beds, upholstered furniture, cribs, mattresses, gradually moving on to baseboards, cracks and joints in wooden structures, grooves for fittings. Everything that can be untwisted is untwisted and processed. We also treat carpets (on both sides), all decorative elements, cracks in parquet flooring, loose wallpaper, loggias and balconies, and also create a barrier (by treating furniture legs), upon crossing which the bloodsuckers will be doomed to death. Since the drug “HECTOR” is quite highly effective, there is no need to spray it all over the floor; it is enough to treat the surfaces as indicated above.

The first person to use insecticide was Aristotle. In his writings, he described how you can get rid of lice using sulfur.

The dust adheres well to the chitinous shell of the insect and begins work on dehydrating the body instantly. Insects cannot resist the product, and they do not develop immunity. The drug works mechanically - it is comparable to the blow of a slipper. Since the drug is odorless, bedbugs do not feel it and freely contact it, transferring its particles to the colony. To avoid dust getting into the respiratory tract and exposed skin surfaces when sprayed (the product is not toxic, but can cause dryness of the skin and mucous membranes), surface treatment should be carried out wearing a gauze bandage and rubber gloves.

Hector does not smell and does not pollute surfaces

Hector is a white dusty powder, very light and airy. It has absolutely no smell or taste, it does not attract animals or insects, nor does it repel anyone.

Due to its fine dispersion, Hector easily settles on any surface and remains on hands and clothes during processing. After work, it is easy to shake off or wash off, and surfaces on which it is not required to be left can simply be wiped with a damp cloth - the product will be removed.

Composition and preparative form “HECTOR from ants”

The drug works on the basis of the active substance – FIPRONIL, from the group of phenylpyrazoles. Currently, this is one of the most effective active ingredients for controlling the number of insect pests.

The concentration of the active substance is optimally selected and is 10 g/kg. Preparative form – powder, release format – 300g tube.

The powder microgranules contain the poison itself and a sweet food base with preservatives. Bitrix is ​​also added to the composition, which gives the drug a bitter taste. This is done to discourage animals from eating the poison.

The drug is easier to use than acute chemistry

To kill insects, Hector should be poured in the following places:

• Insect hiding places are various cracks, cavities, holes;
• Places of active movement of insects - paths of ants, paths along which cockroaches run to tables and bedside tables, and bedbugs approach beds;
• Surfaces on which traces of insect activity are found - excrement, remains of chitinous covers.

Specifically, to kill bed bugs, Hector needs to be sprinkled with:

• Inside folding sofas and armchairs
• On the frame of the bed under the mattress
• On the seams of mattresses
• In the gaps between baseboards and walls
• Under cabinets and bedside tables

The video below shows which places in the apartment need to be treated, for example, to combat bedbugs and how to do it correctly:

Moreover, even if you do not open all the bedbug hiding places (this is the most labor-intensive part of the work), Hector will still destroy them. It has an unlimited shelf life and continues to kill bedbugs as long as it remains dry. Therefore, it will be enough to pour it where insects regularly visit, and gradually they will die while running over it. The time required for their removal will be longer than when using poisonous insecticides (from several days to several weeks), but at the same time, working with it will be much easier than with aerosol insecticides.

It is also useful to pour the powder into saucers and place these saucers under the legs of the bed. All bedbugs that approach the bed from other corners of the room will certainly become stained with powder and die.

You can make bait stations for cockroaches and ants in a similar way: pour Hector into a simple plastic lid and place bread dipped in vegetable oil or candy in the center. All insects attracted by the smell of the bait will get into the powder and subsequently die.

Including Hector, it is rational to use to protect the premises from the penetration of insects. In this case, it needs to be poured where bedbugs or cockroaches can get into the apartment.

What diseases do insects infect?

Bedbugs carry many ailments. Moving around the apartment, they leave behind various bacteria and microorganisms, in particular those that cause fever, typhoid, dysentery and other problems with the human digestive system. Bedbug bites provoke severe allergic reactions, which also weaken the immune system.

A means for killing bedbugs must meet modern quality standards, be as effective as possible, but at the same time safe. This is exactly what “Gektor” means for disinfestation against bedbugs are. For ease of processing, they are produced in various forms, but the most popular is powder.

Go to the store

Does Hector have any weaknesses?

Hector's main drawback is its inability to kill insects in 2-3 hours, as aerosol preparations can do. Even with direct treatment of nests, bedbugs will die in 3-4 hours, and those that are not directly exposed to the powder will die only at night, when they get out of their shelters. Recently fed parasites, which spend 2-3 days in a shelter, will die only a few days after using the drug.

This disadvantage, however, is associated with an advantage - Hector allows for effective insect prevention that has no time limits. The drug will destroy invertebrates as long as it is in the apartment and remains dry.

Another drawback is that Hector cannot be used in very wet areas: basements, swimming pools. This is where the powder will get wet, clump and lose effectiveness. It exhibits its insecticidal properties in rooms with normal humidity. Where people feel normal, Hector will kill insects.

#2. Do bed bug sprays work?

Yes. There are sprays designed to get rid of these particular parasites. And they have also proven their effectiveness.

Raptor – professional extermination of bedbugs

This aerosol contains several active substances. The main ones are imidacloprid (from the neonicotinoid group) and tetramethrin (from the pyrethroid family). The formula also includes the synergist compound piperonyl butoxide. It has no poisonous properties. However, it enhances the toxic effect of the first two.

This composition of Raptor allows one to achieve very tangible results in the fight against bloodsuckers. Therefore, this remedy for bedbugs is very popular among householders. However, like all drugs, it has its strengths and weaknesses.

pros

– They act very quickly, killing bedbugs within the first few minutes. After just a quarter of an hour, the room can be ventilated (for at least 30 minutes). And collect dead bedbugs)

– Has an acceptable odor that disappears easily.

– Kills those bedbugs that are already accustomed to other poisons.

– There is no need to pre-prepare the product. It is already ready for use.

- Low cost.

– Easy to use.

Minuses

– No one has canceled the toxicity of aerosols. These drugs are somehow poisonous to people and animals. Although modern aerosols strive to minimize the toxic effect for humans and their four-legged friends. Nevertheless, compliance with safety measures during processing is mandatory!

– If there is a heavy infestation of bedbugs, it will not help to completely get rid of them.

– All bedbug nests and possible hiding places must be carefully treated. If you miss one, they will survive and continue to reproduce.

Analogues of "Raptor"

– Insect repellent aerosol “Clean House”

To treat a one-room apartment, one bottle of Hector will be enough

Hector's consumption will vary depending on the amount of furniture in the room and on what insects it is used against.

Practice shows that to effectively kill bedbugs, cockroaches or ants in a one-room apartment, 1 bottle of Hector containing 100 g of powder is sufficient.

If there are more rooms in an apartment or house, then the amount of product is calculated using the formula: 5 grams of powder per 1 square meter of surfaces. Considering that most of the floors in the room will not be treated, and the product will be applied to furniture and joints, the amount of product can be calculated at 5 grams per 1 square meter of room.

1 bottle of Hector contains 100 g of powder. That is, such a bottle is enough to treat 20 square meters of space.

Advantages and disadvantages

Dignity:

• The drug "HECTOR" is highly effective in the fight against even pesticide-resistant parasites.
• Sold immediately ready for use - no need to prepare a solution or buy a sprayer. It is enough to cut off the spout of the bottle and spray its contents in the right places.
• Does not contain any pesticides, therefore non-toxic.
• Odorless - bedbugs are sensitive to the odors of various pesticides and avoid contact with them. The absence of odor in HECTOR leads to free contact of insects with the powder and their destruction.
• The product is completely safe for warm-blooded animals. Can be freely used in apartments where allergy sufferers, children and pregnant women live.
• Belongs to the fourth hazard class (in case of contact with the gastrointestinal tract and skin). For example, table salt has the same hazard class.
• Unlike other pesticides, HECTOR is not addictive.
• The drug is not absorbed into the treated surface and does not leave stains or evaporate.
• With “HECTOR” powder you can freely treat those places that need to be treated with caution with liquid agents, namely: sockets, switches and other electrical appliances.
• The product has a long shelf life. If the room is not too humid, “HECTOR” can lie on the treated surface for a very long time and continue to destroy pests until they are completely exterminated.
• Shelf-life Unlimited. This dry substance does not deteriorate over the years and does not lose its properties, subject to strict storage conditions.
• The drug "HECTOR" is relatively inexpensive.

The soldiers of Alexander the Great used a powder based on some types of mountain chamomile (pyrethrum).
Flaws :

• Quite slow destruction of insects, both in the apartment and in the garden, in contrast to highly toxic nerve-paralytic drugs. It will take from several days to a couple of weeks (depending on the degree of infestation) to destroy all pests.
• Since the “HECTOR” product has a powdery consistency, when sprayed on an open surface, in the presence of a draft, it can “dust”. Therefore, first of all, you should treat holes, cracks, crevices and cavities from which the drug will not be blown out by a draft.
• Since the “HECTOR” product is used not only indoors, but also in the garden, beneficial insects can also be destroyed along with pests: beetles, spiders, ladybugs, and so on. Here you need to be very precise and careful when spraying the drug.

REVIEWS:

I’ve been fighting this infection for about 3 months, and I’ve tried everything. Nothing helped, they explained that insects were developing resistance to the drugs. I started looking for something special. I came across Hector on the counter, whose operating principle is to dehydrate the insect. It’s convenient to use, I sprayed it everywhere and started observing. On the second day, dried up corpses began to appear frequently, and after a week I began to notice that they had stopped biting. I don’t know how long I got rid of it, but I confirm that Hector is working.

Anton, Boryspil.

I bought it right away and then started reading the instructions. And for some reason I didn’t really believe that some kind of powder (not poison) would help me against this scourge - bedbugs. It is no longer possible to live with them, eternal lack of sleep, irritability, anger at everything. In general, I slept wherever possible, and what do you think - it helped! The next day, little corpses were blown across the floor by a draft. After about a week, I vacuumed the mattress and bed and there were already enough large corpses there. I sleep peacefully, ugh ugh. I hope it's gone forever.

Kirill, Ufa.

Every six months, bedbugs visit our apartment. You don't choose your neighbors. They poisoned us with different things, both liquid insecticide and dust, but dust with this principle of action was the first to be taken. To be honest, they didn’t really trust it, Hector is a new drug and there aren’t many reviews. Yes, and the price suited us, they processed it and began to wait. And what do you think, after the first day I started to come across dried up small change. The farther away, the larger the individuals lay on the floor. The general cleaning was done after 8-9 days, and this is where we saw the full effect of the powder. It helps, and it helps well. It has a long shelf life, keep it in your stash, I recommend it to everyone.

Nikolay, Tambov.

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.

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.

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.

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.
