Odorless dichlorvos Cockroaches feel like complete “masters” of life, crawling over products and things, rapidly multiplying. When they are first discovered, you should begin to destroy them. The effective, modern, odorless anti-cockroach drug Dichlorvos will help you cope with the problem.
Principle of action, active substance
The name "Dichlorvos" is well known to residents of post-Soviet countries. The chemical was widely used to destroy synanthropic cockroaches, ants, bedbugs, and other pests. It contained a highly toxic substance, dimethyldichlorovinylphosphate, which is dangerous to humans. Modern Dichlorvos differs from its ancestor. It is developed on the basis of a new type of insecticide. They are less dangerous to handle, effective and almost odorless. The main active ingredients are permethrin and cypermethrin - representatives of the pyrethroid group of toxic substances.
On a note!
A natural analogue of representatives of this group is found in Dalmatian chamomile flowers. Pyrethrum powder obtained from them is safe and effective against cockroaches.
The parasites have a neuroparalytic effect. As a result, the transmission of nerve impulses is disrupted, the cockroach is paralyzed and dies. Poison can enter the body through such organs.
- respiratory system;
- chitinous cover;
- mouth and stomach.
Such a variety of methods for poisoning pests makes odorless Dichlorvos an almost universal remedy. If the room is properly treated, the drug will definitely destroy cockroaches, leaving them no chance of survival.
Danger of the product for humans
Insects die from dichlorvos, but the drug is considered relatively safe for humans. But there is always a risk of poisoning or an allergic reaction. When inhaled, insecticides of this type cause nausea and dizziness. Coughing is considered a sign of either respiratory irritation or an allergic reaction.
In people prone to developing cardiovascular diseases, blood pressure may change, and sometimes tachycardia appears.
Advantages and disadvantages
The insecticide has pros and cons, as indicated by customer reviews. They highlight the following positive properties of the remedy against household parasites:
- price and consumer availability;
- quick results;
- no marks on interior items;
- prolonged nature of action;
- no odor;
- ability to decompose into safe compounds;
- versatility;
- efficiency.
The main disadvantage of Dichlorvos is toxicity. It is not recommended to use it in the presence of children and pets. Some varieties of the product have no effect on laid eggs and larvae, so it may be necessary to re-treat.
Aerosol cost
The advantages of Dichlorvos are its affordable price and the opportunity to buy poison for arthropods at the nearest store that sells household chemicals. The comparative table lists the estimated prices for aerosols from different manufacturers (data as of January 2022).

How to choose a bedbug repellent
Composition, equipment, expiration date
The various types of odorless Dichlorvos presented in the retail chain contain highly effective synthetic pyrethroids, which ensure high effectiveness of the product and the absence of resistance to its components in cockroaches.
On a note!
In addition to the main active ingredients, the product contains aliphatic carbohydrates, dimethyl sulfoxides, piperonyl butoxides, preservatives, fragrances, ethyl alcohol, and stabilizers.
The insecticide is produced in special cans equipped with a sprayer and a lid. This design allows for economical use of Dichlorvos and targeted processing. Packaging capacity 140 – 400 ml. For processing 30 sq.m. You will need a 190 ml can. The shelf life of the cockroach repellent does not exceed 2 years from the moment the package is opened. The pleasant smell of lilac, lavender or rose is achieved through the use of various fragrances by manufacturers.
Which one is better to choose?
It is difficult for a non-specialist to figure out which dichlorvos is better, since the products work almost identically and have common advantages and disadvantages.
Dichlorvos against bedbugs is the most effective drug.
It is recommended not to purchase general-purpose drugs, but to buy those varieties that are designed specifically to combat bedbugs. Universal types rarely help fight parasite larvae.
Products that are considered enhanced have proven themselves to be effective. Trade names certainly contain the words “Super”, “Plus”, “Forte”. Such options destroy bedbugs even after the first treatment. But you need to read the instructions carefully. Some products are so strong that a person can move into an apartment only a week after disinfection, and sometimes it takes longer.
Night insect repellents are considered a lighter option; the concentration of the active substance is reduced. They don’t help against bed parasites, but they do kill stink bugs. You can enter the room 2-3 hours after the treatment.

The consumption rate of the drug is 20 ml per 1 sq. m.
The instructions recommend the use of personal protective equipment and compliance with certain safety measures. These include the following actions:

Places where parasites are likely to accumulate are subject to careful treatment - radiators, corners, walls, baseboards, cracks, the space behind loose wallpaper. Be sure to spray the poison on the backs of furniture, panels, paintings, carpets and other objects where Prussians may live. To improve efficiency, it is recommended to seal cracks and replace worn structures.
After finishing treating the premises, you should leave the area for several hours. Upon returning, it is necessary to ventilate the home for 2 hours, carry out wet cleaning with a soap and soda solution, leaving hard-to-reach places and surfaces with which contact is minimized untouched.
Important!
It is advisable for children, pregnant women and sick family members to return to the apartment within 24 hours to eliminate the negative impact of the insecticide.

- Treat the area as soon as possible to avoid exposure to dangerous gases.

- To perform a thorough wet cleaning after etching, you need to wash not only the floors, but also the shelves and cabinets that may have received aerosol drops.
- Be careful.
Reviews
In the fight against cockroaches, I tried a large number of newfangled means. The desired effect was not observed. I decided to try Dichlorvos Neo without odor. My efforts paid off - the remedy turned out to be so effective that the hated parasites completely disappeared from the apartment. I recommend to all.
Victoria, Tver
We live in a house with a store on the ground floor. Cockroaches are frequent guests in the apartment. On the advice of friends, they decided to exterminate them with Dichlorvos. We processed everything as stated in the instructions. The result was pleasing - we managed to get rid of the cockroaches after 2 treatments.
Vyacheslav, Kirov
We moved into the apartment. At first, the presence of the “guests” was not noticed, but one fine day a red cockroach was discovered in the kitchen. They didn’t wait for the “invasion” and decided to use a radical method - they bought odorless Dichlorvos Varan. So far we haven't noticed any pests.

Is the remedy effective against parasite eggs?
Toxic substances cannot harm bedbug larvae, since the latter are well protected by the outer shell. Therefore, the owner of the apartment will have to carry out additional treatment, waiting until the new generation of insects has grown enough, but does not have time to lay eggs. The procedure is performed 10 days after the first one.
Bedbug eggs are a problem due to which they cannot always be eliminated indoors the first time.
Analogs
The Russian market offers a large selection of insecticides under the general name Dichlorvos. Sometimes “Dichlorvos” means any other anti-cockroach remedy in the form of aerosols. They differ somewhat in composition, active substances, their concentration, fragrances used, and name. The following aerosols are popular:
- Dichlorvos (regular, with odor);
- Combat;
- Raptor;
- Raid.
They have their advantages and disadvantages. It is up to the consumer to decide which type of odorless Dichlorvos to choose. The quality of processing depends on strict adherence to instructions and the complexity of the situation.
