Leopard for cockroaches - how the drug works, effectiveness, use at home

A series of insectoacaricidal preparations Bars is used to kill parasites in dogs and cats.

But, according to reviews from experimental enthusiasts, these drugs are also effective in fighting cockroaches. Moreover, they show effectiveness even when special chemicals could not eliminate the problem.

Therefore, we will try to figure out whether Bars really helps against cockroaches, and if so, how to use these pest control products so that it is effective.

Composition and mechanism of action

Like any other insecticide, this drug has an active substance, thanks to which the extermination of parasites is carried out. Leopard contains fipronil, which has shown in practice a very high level of effectiveness in the fight not only against parasites, but also against cockroaches.

The action of the active component is as follows. Upon contact with the drug, the active substance acts directly on the nervous system. First, the insect is paralyzed, and then breathing stops and death occurs.

If previously the drug was used only for its intended purpose, now its demand has increased significantly. And sellers of veterinary pharmacies will not be at all surprised if you voice the purpose of your purchase. Of course, like all insecticidal products, leopard requires proper use at home; not only the effectiveness, but also the safety of those living in the room will depend on this.

The principle of action of insecticidal powder

Dust is a white or grayish powder that is odorless. The effectiveness of its use and the characteristics of its effect on insects depend on the active substance. The active components of powder preparations are divided into several groups:

Pyrethroids

Preparations based on pyrethroids are most widespread. They have a nerve-paralytic effect on cockroaches. Synthetic compounds are analogues of natural insecticides. Among the common connections:

1. Cypermethrin is a contact-intestinal insecticide with high activity. Once in the body of cockroaches, it paralyzes their nervous system. Products based on it are approved for disinfestation in residential, children's and medical institutions. They belong to the least harmful hazard class 4. The residual effect appears for 1-1.5 months.
2. Permethrin is an insecticide that affects the central and peripheral nervous system. Accumulating in tissues it causes paralysis of arthropods.
3. Lambda-cyhalothrin is a white, odorless substance that is stable in light. It has contact, intestinal and repellent effects. It affects the motor centers of insects, ensures rapid destruction, the death of pests occurs within 24 hours.

Organophosphorus compounds (OP)

Phosphorus-based insecticides have intestinal and systemic effects. They cause paralysis and death of insects.

1. Chlorophos is a substance toxic to arthropods and has an acute intestinal effect on synanthropic insects. This is due to increased toxic properties in an alkaline environment.
2. Chlorpyrifos - the compound enters the body through the respiratory organs, stomach and body. The drug is resistant to the environment, has a paralyzing and acute intestinal effect. When used uncontrolled, it causes resistance in synanthropic insects.

Boric acid

One of the effective powders against cockroaches is boric acid. The substance is used independently and is part of the “Clean House” series of insecticidal preparations. The white powder is intended for antiseptic treatment, but is a deadly poison for insects. The acid acts through the digestive system, so the insect must eat it.

The substance is mixed into food baits; the base can be egg yolk or mashed potatoes. Poison balls are placed in pest habitats - under the sink, in the bathroom. The composition takes effect after a few days. Insects develop a disorder of nervous activity, paralysis and death occur. In places of movement, tracks of boric acid are poured. The powder gets on the paws and limbs, and is then transferred to food.

Borax has a similar effect; this substance can be used instead of boric acid.

Dusts that cause dehydration

Diatomaceous earth powder is crushed rock. Upon contact with the body of cockroaches, it causes damage to the chitinous cover. The fluid begins to quickly evaporate from the body. The process is accelerated by the absorption of water by the diatomaceous earth itself. As a result, insects die from dehydration.

How to use the drug correctly

If we talk about the use of this product, it is similar to the use of insecticidal sprays and aerosols. It is very important to follow the processing steps, since the effectiveness of the procedure will depend on them.

You will need to properly prepare the room, for this you need:

• You will need to move furniture away from the walls to gain access to baseboards and the backs of cabinets.
• Sweep the entire room and remove dust everywhere.
• Next comes wet cleaning. It is necessary so that when applied the substance does not mix with dirt, as this reduces its effectiveness.
• Be sure to hide food in the refrigerator, bags, containers. Dishes and all kitchen utensils are also hidden.

Before treatment, you must wear clothing that completely covers your body and prevents the substance from coming into contact with your skin. Be sure to use protective equipment, gloves and a respirator. After these simple steps, you can proceed directly to applying the leopard. The result will be influenced by how correctly the substance is applied, namely whether all surfaces on which cockroaches appear are affected.

Pay attention to the following surfaces:

• In the kitchen, you will need to treat all the baseboards, since it is in the voids that cockroaches make their home. The back walls of cabinets, refrigerators, and household appliances are a must. Walls behind the radiator and niches under the window sill. Don't forget about ventilation openings, door and window openings. Pipes under the sink.
• In addition to the kitchen, it is necessary to treat the bathroom and toilet. Insects such as cockroaches can go without food for a long time, but they cannot live without water. Therefore, most often their nests are located near water. It is necessary to apply the product to all corners, to the joints of tiles and pipes. Pay attention to the cracks in the walls near the pipes.

As soon as the procedure is completed, it is necessary to remove protective equipment, wash your hands, and wash your face. Next, you need to leave the room, preferably for several hours. Upon returning, the apartment is well ventilated and there is a draft. Then gloves are put on and exposed surfaces that people come into contact with are washed. Wet cleaning is carried out using a soap solution to remove the effect of the pesticide.

Most often, in order to rid an apartment of Prussians, repeated treatment is required, which is carried out after 2 weeks. This happens because the harmful effect is on adults, while the larvae remain untouched. Therefore, young individuals soon appear, which must be immediately destroyed, without giving them a chance to reproduce.

How does Bars work and why is it useful in the fight against cockroaches?

As I already said, the product is used to remove and prevent ticks and fleas from furry pets - dogs, cats, small rodents. However, its formula makes it possible to use the spray against Prussians. The main active ingredient in Barca is fipronil. This is a compound from the group of pesticides that has a nerve-paralytic effect on insects.

Upon contact with fipronil, the individual dies within a couple of hours due to complete paralysis and respiratory arrest caused by blocking the transmission of nerve impulses. Of course, cockroaches will not begin to lick the spray from the surface, but then how will they get poisoned? It’s simple: Prussians, although it’s hard to believe, are quite clean.

After walking around your apartment, they return to their nests and begin to wash themselves, clean their paws and antennae. This is how the poison enters the insect’s body, so there is no need to doubt the effectiveness of the spray.

It is noteworthy that fipronil is used in most modern insectoacaricidal agents. You may ask - if the same active substance is in different bottles, then what difference does it make what to use? Of course, you are right in your own way, but there are several nuances that speak in favor of Barca.

Below we will discuss in detail the advantages of the spray against specialized insecticides, and now I will tell you how to use this universal remedy to forget about nasty insects for a long time.

How to use Bars against cockroaches?

Pest control using Bars is no different from baiting Prussians with a special insecticidal preparation. The only thing is that there is no need to take your pets away from home: the product is absolutely harmless for them, because it was originally invented for cats and dogs.

• Open the package, remove the bottle and shake it well.
• Apply the spray to the habitats and movements of cockroaches.
• After a few hours, all that remains is to collect the dead insects and get rid of them in any convenient way.
• Ventilate the apartment and do a wet cleaning - there is no need to leave chemicals in the room.
• After 10-14 days, repeat the treatment: the spray only affects adults, without affecting the eggs.

As you can see, nothing complicated. If you don't know where the cockroach nest is, you can try to find out in the following way. As we know, Prussians are mainly nocturnal, going out into open spaces in search of food in the dark. When it gets well dark, turn off the lights in the kitchen for a while, and then go in and turn them on. Most likely, you will see several reptiles quickly running for cover. These are the routes along which insects move - these places must be treated.

In addition, the spray is applied to standard areas for disinfestation:

• on baseboards and corners;
• on the back surfaces of furniture;
• on the wall behind loose wallpaper;
• on and around the trash can;
• under the refrigerator and stove, under the washing machine;
• on cracks in walls and window frames;
• on kitchen cabinets;
• around the sink, bathtub and toilet.

Don't be lazy and skip some places.
Since “Leopard” only acts through contact due to its shape, it is important for us to treat as large a surface as possible to ensure contact of the mustachioed enemy with the poison. As you probably know, cockroaches can live for several weeks without food, but without water they will die from dehydration within a couple of days. Be sure to treat the area around the bathroom and sink - cockroaches may refrain from a late dinner, but they will definitely come for a drink. Where is the source of water in the house? That's right, a bathroom and a kitchen sink. By spraying the area around the plumbing fixtures, you can be sure that almost the entire colony has followed the poisoned path.

Why is Bars sometimes better than specialized insectoacaricidal agents?

“Bars” is no better and no worse than special preparations for cockroaches, because they have the same active ingredient, except that the concentration of fipronil and additional compounds in the composition differ. But still, this spray has several advantages, thanks to which it is bought to fight cockroaches more often than to treat fleas on pets. These include:

• safety - the product is non-toxic and absolutely safe for people and pets, since it was originally produced specifically for our four-legged friends;
• effectiveness - fipronil has been used for a very long time to exterminate Prussians, and quite successfully;
• versatility - with one bottle you can rid your pet of lice and your kitchen of mustachioed reptiles;
• absence of a specific smell - as you know, cats and dogs have a sensitive sense of smell, so Bars smells so imperceptibly that neither you nor your pet will feel discomfort

Features of the composition

Bars anti-cockroach remedy is available in the form of a spray. Sold in ready-made cans of 100 and 200 ml. The active component is a modern, new generation insecticide - fipronil. The substance enters the insect’s body through contact, during feeding, or by inhalation. The chance of getting poisoned increases several times.

Fipronil affects the functioning of the nervous system. Blocks the transmission of nerve impulses, paralyzes, provokes convulsions, and causes death. All this happens within a few hours after the poison enters the insect’s body.

Important!

The high effectiveness of the product against black cockroaches and red cockroaches does not mean toxicity to the human body. The dose to poison a person is extremely small. But during the work you should use personal protective equipment - gloves, a respirator, a suit.

Fipronil is resistant to temperature and direct sunlight. It remains to act on the surface for about 14 days, as reviews say.

Characteristics of the drug

There are a lot of insecticides for killing red Prussians in the retail chain. As a result of long-term use, cockroaches have already become accustomed to most of them. But “Bars,” designed to kill fleas and ticks on four-legged pets (cats and dogs), is something new for cockroaches. That is why the product actively copes with their destruction. The drug is sold in the form of aerosols of 100 or 200 ml in pharmacies and pet stores. It is made on the basis of a strong insecticide, fipronil, which has a nerve-paralytic effect. In insects, nerve receptors are blocked, convulsions, paralysis occur, breathing stops and death occurs.

Numerous reviews indicate the harmful effects of the drug. “Bars” for cockroaches helped to get rid of harmful insects once and for all, when many different poisons had already been tried, and hope for their destruction was lost, users say. It should be noted that the product contains repellents that repel pests, and they are forced to leave their homes. The drug, created to kill insects in animals, does not have a specific odor, which is very convenient for treating any premises.

The specific smell disappears within a few hours after airing the room.

Operating principle

Spray Bars is a broad-spectrum insectoacaricidal preparation. Upon contact with the treated surface, the pest receives a dose of poison. Within a few minutes, metabolic processes are disrupted, paralysis and death occur. If you use Bars for its intended purpose - for dogs, cats, the properties last for up to 2 months. When treating an apartment for cockroaches, the effect lasts for a maximum of 14 days.

There are several versions of why the drug was used against cockroaches:

• other insecticidal agents did not help;
• Bars spray was at hand at the right time;
• insecticide is affordable.

On a note!

During the experiment, it was found that the drug against fleas, ticks, and lice copes well with cockroaches. With just a few treatments, you can get rid of a colony of Prussians and clean your apartment. Leopard is a low-hazard substance, so it can be used indoors where there are pets.

Other benefits:

• instant effect;
• prolonged action for 14 days;
• absence of a specific smell in the room;
• affordable price;

One of the disadvantages is the frequent treatment of areas where cockroaches are most concentrated. It is recommended to renew the protective layer every week.

Efficiency

Bars remedy for cockroaches

The result of poisoning can be seen 2 hours after disinfestation. Insect corpses will continue to be seen throughout the week. Mass death of the family occurs within a month. Reviews of the Bars remedy for cockroaches confirm this fact.

I bought Bars for a cat. Treated periodically against fleas and ticks. When cockroaches appeared in the apartment, there was nothing suitable. Then I thought that Prussians were insects like fleas. Sprayed the room. I found several corpses within a week. I had to repeat it 4 more times, but I managed to get rid of the cockroaches.

Anna, Moscow

Fipronil is included in many effective cockroach medications. But for some reason only Bars works. It's all about concentration. It helps, I’ve seen it myself. It just turns out to be a little expensive if you carefully treat the apartment.

Andrey, Tver

Sprays do not help with severe infection of the apartment. Bars is no exception. But you can carry out disinfestation with an average number of cockroaches. Then there is a point. A gel containing toxic substances or a bait with boric acid can help increase the effectiveness of the product. They act very quickly in tandem. You can remove the Prussians in a month.

Marina, St. Petersburg

Spray Bars is sold in a veterinary pharmacy. The cost of the product is about 400 rubles. It differs depending on the regional location of the veterinary pharmacy and the pricing policy of the institution. Analogs containing fipronil - Dohlox, Regent, Domovoy.

Compound

Bars is produced by the Russian company NVC Agrovetzashchita. Sold in cardboard packaging with instructions inside. The shelf life is 2 years from the date of manufacture. After the first use it must be used within a year.

The active component is a modern broad-spectrum insecticide - fipronil. The substance penetrates the body of cockroaches upon contact, leading to muscle paralysis. Fipronil is classified as a low-hazard substance and, when used correctly, does not cause adverse effects. Resistant to temperature changes and sunlight.

On a note!

In the case of cockroaches, Bars is used for other purposes, but treatment carried out in accordance with the general instructions for working with insecticides guarantees quick results and the absence of side effects.

Benefits of Bras spray against cockroaches

In some situations, Bars spray is much more effective in fighting cockroaches compared to traditional means.

Its main advantages, which make the liquid quite popular, are:

• Undoubted effectiveness;
• Speed ​​of action;
• Ease of use;
• Economical use of funds;
• Possibility to purchase at almost any veterinary pharmacy.

The main negative aspect of the corresponding insecticide remains its price. It is more expensive than its analogues. But here it is necessary to clarify that the drug was not created to exterminate cockroaches, but to remove fleas and ticks from pets. In addition, if the product is really effective, then you won’t mind paying a little more money for it. The main thing is the end result.

Release form, price, where to buy?

Spray Bars is available in the form of a solution for external use. It is packaged in 100 and 200 ml bottles with a convenient spray dispenser. You can purchase the product at almost any veterinary pharmacy. Its price fluctuates around 400 rubles. Despite the rather high cost, the spray shows good final results, which makes it very popular among consumers.

Numerous reviews from people who have used Bars confirm its high effectiveness. As paradoxical as it may sound, quite often this product remains much more effective than classical insecticides.

Pros and cons of Bars spray

The product became popular due to several factors:

• price - on average in Russia, a spray with a volume of 100 ml costs 250 rubles;
• availability - sold in all pet stores;
• no greasy stains remain on the surface after use;
• the repellent is ready for use immediately after purchase;
• one can is enough for 30-40 m².

The disadvantages include the ability of cockroaches to adapt to the toxic substances contained in Bars, after which it ceases to be fatal to them.

In order to prevent cockroaches from becoming accustomed, it is necessary to thoroughly treat the areas where pests were noticed from the first use. It is recommended to purchase cockroach traps and chalk to kill the remaining insects.

Advantages and disadvantages

The effectiveness of Bars in killing cockroaches was tested by users through an experiment. It turned out to be effective and with timely treatment, insects completely disappear from the living space. The advantages of the drug include:

Safety for human health. When making it for processing animal hair, manufacturers provided all the requirements for its toxicity. Easy to use. The product is sprayed from a can. Economical use. The can is enough for a large area of ​​the room. The remaining funds can be stored and used as needed. No unpleasant odor. You may not leave the premises for a long period of time.

The only drawback is its cost, which is 300–400 rubles, which is more expensive than some other drugs. But considering its versatility (suitable for killing insects in animals and indoors) and effectiveness, the price is completely justified.

Indications for use

As indicated in the instructions for use of the drug "Bars", it is intended for the destruction of domestic four-legged ticks, fleas, lice and lice. It contains substances that have a detrimental effect on the nervous system of pests, causing paralysis and subsequent death. There is also a deterrent effect. In addition, it was found that this drug works well against cockroaches. It not only kills insects, but also repels them. This product is recommended for use in cases of low infestation.

Leopard, flea collar for dogs

Leopard insectoacaricidal collar for large breed dogs, Agrovetzaschita, Russia

Prescribed to dogs of medium breeds for the prevention and treatment of entomoses (fleas, lice, lice). For the prevention of ixodid ticks in dogs

INSTRUCTIONS for using the insecto-acaricidal collar Bars (Collar insecto-acaricidae Bars) for medium breed dogs

COMPOSITION AND FORM OF RELEASE: Insect-acaricidal collar Bars contains fipronil and an insect growth regulator, as well as auxiliary components as active ingredients. In appearance, it is a polymer tape 50 cm long, with a weak specific odor, equipped with a buckle for fixing it on the animal’s neck. Packed in cardboard boxes, 1 piece each.

PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES: The combination of insecto-acaricides in the collar exhibits synergistic action against larvae and mature ticks of the Ixodidae family and insects Linognathus setosus, Trichodectes canis and Ctenocephalides spp.

The high antiparasitic activity of the collar is due to the presence of fipronil and an insect growth regulator in the polymer tape. The mechanism of action of fipronil is to block the GABA-dependent receptors of the parasite and disrupt neuromuscular transmission, which leads to its paralysis and death.

The insect growth regulator inhibits the processes of chitin formation, disrupts the processes of molting, pupation and fledging of the parasite.

In terms of the degree of impact on the body of warm-blooded animals, the drug is classified as a moderately dangerous substance and does not have a locally irritating, resorptive-toxic, embryotoxic, teratogenic or sensitizing effect.

INDICATIONS: Prevention and treatment of canine entomosis (lice, fleas, lice). Prevention of infection of animals by ixodid ticks.

DOSES AND METHOD OF APPLICATION: After opening the package, put the collar on the animal, adjusting it in size so that there is a gap of 1 - 1.5 cm between the neck and the tape, then pass the end of the tape through the loops of the buckle, and cut off the excess.

In the first days of using the collar, an ixodid tick may attach, but after a day it dies and falls off spontaneously.

The duration of the protective effect with continuous use of the collar is: against ticks - 4 months, against fleas, lice and lice - 5 months.

SIDE EFFECTS: In most cases not observed. In some animals with hypersensitivity, signs of intoxication and allergies are possible (tremor, vomiting, excessive salivation and lacrimation, itching, irritation and redness of the skin). If these signs or other manifestations of intolerance appear, the collar should be removed.

Shake the spray 4-5 times before starting work. After this, spray the insecticide, holding the can at a distance of 30 cm from the surface.

After a day, restore order by collecting the corpses of cockroaches. If live pests are encountered, disinfestation should be repeated immediately until the insects have adapted to the repellent.

How to use Bars against cockroaches?

Bars spray against cockroaches is sometimes used more often than for its main purpose. Sometimes you can see a relatively comical situation when the seller of a veterinary pharmacy once again, selling a bottle of Bars, asks: “Do you need it for your dog or for cockroaches?” However, this only increases sales of the product in question, which is an excellent development for the manufacturer.

So, how to use Bars spray to eliminate cockroaches in the house? There is nothing complicated about it. It is used like most other similar aerosols.

Conventionally, the entire process of treating a room can be described in a few sentences:

1. Open the package and take out the bottle with the active substance.
2. Apply small portions of the liquid to all areas where you could potentially encounter brownies. Don't spare any expense. The more cockroaches get it, the stronger the effect will be. It is imperative to treat hard-to-reach places behind furniture, in various crevices, and the like.
3. Clear the room of insect corpses.
4. Re-treat the room or the entire apartment after 2-3 weeks.

In this way, it will be possible to fully protect the house from a repeated invasion of cockroaches. It is important to note that the main places in the apartment that need such disinfestation are the bathroom, kitchen and toilet. It is there that the main concentrations of Prussians are most often observed.

About why cockroaches are dangerous for humans - here!

Chemical means to combat ants

Boric acid

Boric acid is an antiseptic that is a white crystalline powder. Chemical formula – H3BO3. Boric acid affects the functioning of the nervous system of ants. With a sufficient dose, it leads to paralysis and death of the insect. For humans in small doses, which are necessary for processing, it is practically harmless.

To combat insects, you can simply scatter boric acid powder near the entrances to the anthill.

Honey bait

Mix a hot 20% aqueous sweet solution with honey or sugar. Pour into a saucer and place in places where insects gather. Place sticks on the surface of the mixture so that the ants can easily reach them. Take care that pets do not get poisoned. Periodically replace the old fluid with fresh one. Most of the ant colony should die within 2 weeks.

Egg bait

Mix 2 tablespoons or 2 egg yolks with 1/2 teaspoon of borax (or boric acid). We prepare small balls from the resulting mixture and place them where ants visit most often.

Borax

Combining with sodium, boric acid forms a new substance - borax, which is no less dangerous for ants than boric acid itself. Due to their similar properties, they are interchangeable.

Borax sugar solution

To make the solution, take 2 tablespoons of hot water mixed with 1 spoon of granulated sugar and 1/3 teaspoon of borax. After the mixture has cooled, add honey. Update it daily to get maximum effect.

Glycerin bait

For 1 tbsp. add a spoonful of water, 2 teaspoons of glycerin, 1 teaspoon of honey, 1/3 teaspoon of borax and 1.5 tablespoons of sugar, mix everything thoroughly and roll the resulting mass into balls. The resulting bait can be placed where ants most often run.

Lime

To rid trees of ants, it is necessary to treat their trunks with a high-percentage solution of lime so that it covers not only the trunk, but also the ground around it. And don’t forget, as already mentioned, about digging the soil with the addition of lime.

You can radically combat ants by using pesticides. The industrial poisons that are most often used to treat summer cottages against ants include the following chemicals. drugs that contain, in different doses, the active substance – diazinon. This is an organophosphate compound that affects the nervous system of ants and causes paralysis. It is included in such preparations as “Muratsid”, “Muravyin”, “Anteater” and “Grom-2”. There are other chemicals, such as FAS-double, which are stronger and more harmful.

Ant-eater

This chemical will get rid of both adult and ant larvae. In the treated area, the ants are in no hurry to make paths and do not create new anthills. The period of protective action is at least 3 weeks.

Ant

Ant is a reliable chemical agent for controlling black garden ants. Granular insecticidal bait. It does not need to be mixed or diluted with water. Does not harm earthworms. The consumption of the drug is 20-30 grams per 10 m2. The period of protective action is about 3 weeks.

FAS-double

The old name of the drug is Phenaxin. Used against ants and cockroaches. Ant paths are treated with this powder. The drug consumption is 2 g/m2. Enough for 2-3 months. Holes are pierced in the bag in the indicated places and pollination occurs from it. FAS-double can also be diluted in water and sprayed onto tree trunks to prevent ants from reaching their final food source - aphid clusters. If the drug gets on the fruits, they must be washed well before eating and the harvest itself can be harvested only 10 days after treatment.

Antiant

A modern means of combating ants on the ground. Powdery mixture, which belongs to the 4th hazard class. Does not harm other insects. Scatters into places of accumulation and movement (ant paths). There are two main active ingredients: Cypermethrin – 0.2% and Sumition – 0.2%. Enough for 10 m2 and has a long residual effect (7 weeks).

Precautionary measures

Despite the fact that Bars spray against cockroaches does not pose a danger to humans or animals, you should take precautions when working with the drug:

• Carry out processing with protective gloves and a mask, this will allow toxic components to penetrate into the human body or onto the skin;
• Place food in the refrigerator; it is unacceptable for the drug to come into contact with them;
• When using an aerosol, remove indoor plants;
• Do not use around children.

If safety rules are violated, you can get poisoned, which is accompanied by headaches, nausea and vomiting. If symptoms appear, consult a doctor.

Why are cockroaches dangerous?

In the apartment, red insects cause a lot of trouble. Crawling on food products, they transfer pathogenic bacteria, fungal spores, and helminth eggs to them. They often cause allergic reactions and dangerous diseases.

Prussians often become the culprits of failure of electrical equipment and expensive household appliances. If dark traces of insect feces and remains of chitinous shells are found in a living room, then you must immediately begin to fight them. The cockroach repellent “Bars” is suitable for this purpose.

Bars from cockroaches reviews

Bars has been on the market for a long time. During this time, it has managed to prove itself in the fight against various types of insects, this can be understood from customer reviews.

Kornienko, Moscow

After the Prussians appeared, we decided to try Leopard Forte. We prepared the room before treatment and treated problem areas with the drug. A few hours later, the corpses of the arthropods were discovered. According to the instructions, we re-treated it after two weeks. 3 months have passed and there are no pests in the house.

Ivanov, St. Petersburg

Leopard was used as a prophylactic after the main treatment. They sprayed all areas of the main concentration of individuals, and after a few hours they found single corpses. The treatment was repeated after 2 weeks. The insects no longer appeared.

Spray Leopard effectively copes with Prussians, despite the fact that the drug is intended for treating animal fur against lice and ticks. The composition contains components that kill cockroaches. The main thing is to carry out the treatment according to the instructions for use, while observing safety precautions.

Regent against cockroaches: instructions for use

Despite all the effectiveness of the Regent, you need to be able to use it correctly. The insecticide belongs to the second degree of toxicity, which makes it partially dangerous to the human body. Therefore, if you use this drug incorrectly, you can harm your own health.

The use of insecticide requires the mandatory use of rubber gloves and a respirator. At the time of treatment of the house, there should be no animals or small children in it. When in contact with intact skin, Regent does not cause visible damage.

However, if it comes into contact with open wounds or if it enters the human body with food, the insecticide can cause serious dyspeptic disorders (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea) and a general deterioration of the condition.

Instructions for use of Regent against cockroaches include compliance with the following recommendations:

• 1 bottle of the substance must be diluted in one liter of plain water.
• After this, the solution is poured into a spray bottle.
• Treat all necessary surfaces with the appropriate liquid.
• Wait for the final result to occur and remove the insect corpses.

An interesting point remains that Regent is in most cases used to treat fields against the Colorado potato beetle. To do this, you need to dilute 1 ampoule in a whole bucket (10-12 liters of water). However, this volume is not enough to kill cockroaches.

Some consumers even recommend mixing the contents of one ampoule with 200 ml of water

However, when working with such a concentrated solution, special care must be taken when treating the room from cockroaches.

Why is the spray so popular?

Its popularity is quite simple to explain, because when we make a choice in favor of one product or another, we primarily focus on efficiency and safety indicators. Our main goal is to get rid of the Prussians as quickly as possible, but at the same time, we do not want to harm those living in the apartment. Speaking of specialized insecticides, the most effective products usually have a high hazard class.

What does the leopard offer:

• This is a specialized veterinary product, which means it is safe for people and animals.
• Efficiency due to the active substance, which shows high results for many years.
• No “aroma”, because the drug is designed for pets who have a very developed sense of smell.

Let's sum it up

Answering the main question, does the poison help, we can say with confidence that it is effective. Taking into account the disadvantage, which is the fairly high cost compared to insecticides, we can say that it is completely justified. Despite the low level of toxicity, safety precautions must be observed.

In cases where the living space is heavily contaminated, contacting specialized services may be the right option. The fact is that the process of destroying large colonies on your own will be quite labor-intensive. In some cases, it may drag on for a long period. Therefore, the help of specialists will be very useful. If you live in an apartment building and know that your neighbors also have cockroaches, then the treatment must be carried out simultaneously in order to achieve a positive result.

Analogs from other manufacturers

Spray Bars has many direct analogues. All of them are produced for animals and help fight blood-sucking parasites. When using Bars for cockroaches, absolutely all sprays and aerosols with insecticidal substances can be called analogues. The following drugs have an identical mechanism of action:

• Dichlorvos;
• Raptor;
• Raid;
• Baron;
• Clean house.

The price starts from 150 rubles, and the bottle capacity starts from 250 ml.

Bars dog spray can be used against cockroaches, but its effect is similar to many other products that are designed to kill cockroaches. You need to think about expenses. A small bottle is enough for one full treatment; a bottle costs 400 rubles. You need to spend at least 2, that’s the same amount. The cost of the product will cost 800 rubles.

General description and composition

Bars is one of the modern insecticidal products, originally intended for veterinary practice to exterminate ticks and fleas in dogs. Later it turned out that the product is very effective in killing domestic cockroaches.

• fipronil is a new generation insecticidal substance, the main active ingredient;
• stabilizers;
• catalysts.

Bars is sold in 100 and 200 ml cans in ready-to-use form. The product is resistant to various temperatures and does not lose its effect when exposed to direct sunlight for a long time. Has passive protection.

When using Bars, be sure to ensure good ventilation in the room, but without drafts

Passive protection lasts 14-21 days after application. During this time, re-infestation of the apartment with cockroaches is impossible. The exception is if insects with resistance (immunity) to fipronil enter the apartment.

The average cost of Bars is 100 rubles. When disinfesting an apartment, it is recommended to do 2 treatments with a difference of 20-30 days. This is necessary in order to destroy already adult cockroaches, and then their offspring.

How does Bars act on cockroaches, and does it help? (+video)

The main active ingredient Fipronil affects the nervous system of insects, blocking the spread of nerve impulses and leading to various disorders of the nervous system. First, the insect experiences convulsions, and then a failure of internal organs.

After infection, the cockroach dies within a few hours, having managed to infect its other “compatriots.” Infection of other cockroaches occurs when one insect comes into contact with another. In addition, cockroaches tend to eat the corpses of their “relatives”.

This further promotes the spread of the toxin within the colony, so the entire colony dies within 2 weeks. Sometimes there are cases when most of the colony dies out, but individual individuals normally tolerate the effects of the toxin.

Such individuals are resistant or immune. There is no need to worry about this - they will no longer be able to give birth to offspring, so they will not be able to create a new colony. For safety reasons, you can simply carry out preventive treatments with Bars every 6 months.

Is the product dangerous for humans and pets?

If you follow the rules for using Bars established by the manufacturer, the likelihood of intoxication of people or pets tends to zero. The product is safe and low-toxic, unlike more specialized insecticides.

Accidental inhalation of a large amount of spray is possible, in which case this may lead to moderate consequences. Usually this is nausea or isolated cases of vomiting with relief. No severe poisoning by Bars has been recorded.

Despite the increased safety of the drug, it must be used carefully. Work on processing the room must be carried out in protective clothing, making sure to open the windows to ventilate the room .
