How to breed Tsifoks
Tsifoks is available in a liquid concentrate, which is more convenient than powder insecticides. Let's look at how to breed Tsifoks from bedbugs.
Proportional ratio of water and Tsifoks: 1 liter to 2 ml, respectively. It needs to be prepared in a special way: pour the required amount of water into a large container, pour in the insecticide and mix thoroughly with a stick (at least 5 minutes of intensive stirring). The solution is then poured into a sprinkler.
By the way! The instructions for use state that the aqueous solution of Tsifoks is only valid for 8 hours. Therefore, everything that has been prepared should be sprayed around the room, and not left for next time.
Mode of application
You can buy Cifox, but you cannot use it in its pure form. Before processing, prepare a special solution according to the proportions from the manufacturer. Only if you follow the recipe, the effect manifests itself most quickly.
Complete destruction of pests occurs within twenty minutes, which you can determine yourself by looking at the dead individuals. Concentrate your attention on the places where you most often notice insects.

We decided to poison the cockroaches with Tsifox. After treatment with the solution, after a couple of days, arthropod corpses began to appear. After 2 weeks, there was no trace left of the individuals. In addition, the product destroyed not only the adults, but also the larvae, since there are no more pests in the apartment. Tsifoks is an effective remedy that kills insects quickly. It contains a strong insecticide that blocks the respiratory system. Individuals die instantly. Due to the high activity of the toxic substance, it is popular.

Effect on insects
Tsifoks against cockroaches begins to act 30 minutes after treatment. Cypermethrin penetrates the insect body in two ways:
- Through the digestive tract;
- Through the chitinous shell.
After penetration, the drug begins to block the nervous system and paralyze the respiratory tract. The arthropod dies instantly. The description of the drug states that the highest activity is observed in enclosed spaces, the product works for up to 3 months. If used in water or outdoors, the validity period is reduced to 6 weeks.
Customer reviews show that the drug is active after the first treatment with small concentrations of insects; if there are a lot of them in the room, re-application cannot be avoided.
