Forsyth from bedbugs
Today, in living rooms you can find various insects that can cause inconvenience to their owners. Bed bugs in the home are a serious problem that causes a lot of trouble.

Therefore, if you find furniture bugs at home, the fight against them should begin immediately. Use the anti-theft agent "Forsyth" with a broad spectrum of action against synanthropic pests, whose testing shows its effectiveness. This relatively inexpensive product has a detrimental effect on adult individuals not only of bedbugs, but also cockroaches, fleas, and there are other drugs in the same series, for example, “Forsyth” anti-louse.
Description of the drug and principle of action
One of the most effective ways to combat insects today is the insecticide in the form of a concentrated suspension of bedbugs, “Forsight”, consumer reviews of which are only positive. It appeared on the market not so long ago.
The active ingredient is 20 percent permethrin. This chemical is not hazardous to humans. According to the manufacturer.
The drug acts only through direct contact with bedbugs, so it is very effective for use in places with large infestations, if you have a lot of domestic parasites and when places where all bedbug colonies accumulate have been identified. The device lands on the insect's shell, penetrates under it, paralyzes the parasite and gradually kills it. The advantage of Foresight is that it creates a protective coating that prevents the reappearance of insects for six months.
Advantages:
- economical consumption;
- simple method of application;
- does not leave stains or streaks;
- noticeable result after the first treatment.
Principle of action: the active components of the drug are deltamethrin, propoxur and lambda cyhalothrin. Once in the insect’s body, they block nicotine-dependent acetylcholine receptors in the nervous system. This causes a rapid disruption of the transmission of nerve impulses through the synapse. As a result, the pest dies from paralysis in extreme excitement.
Advantages of the drug
The main advantages of this product are the complete absence of odor, no toxic fumes, and it demonstrates low toxicity. You don't have to leave your home for a long time to avoid breathing in the poison.
This makes Foresight an ideal tool for disinfecting residential buildings. In addition, it is easy to use in practice: just dilute the emulsion with water. In two weeks of daily targeted struggle, you can completely destroy the entire population and, at least for the next six months, protect yourself from unwanted neighbors.

It is necessary to identify all bedbug nests, and if this does not happen, the parasites may continue to reproduce after treatment with an insecticide.
If you use the Forsyth insecticide to treat an apartment, it is best to take children and all family members not taking part in the process to friends or relatives during disinfection so that they do not accidentally drink or inhale the poison.
Preparation of the solution
"Forsyth" is sold in bottles. Before treating premises against insects, the product is diluted in one liter of water, which is better to be warmed up a little beforehand. To treat the average space, about 3 liters of prepared solution is required.
When bed bugs appear in your home, you need to treat not only your bed and furniture, but also baseboards and crevices where the insects can get in. The floor, walls and ceiling must also be cleaned. All surfaces must be thoroughly washed, since pests will only die if they come into personal contact with the chemical.
Surface treatment
You must take precautions and clean and prepare the apartment. Do a classic spring cleaning. It is enough to ensure that all surfaces are clean and free of small objects.
- Clean the entire apartment thoroughly. Use a rag to wipe down countertops and any other surfaces, floors, and interior and exterior cabinet doors. All cleanup should be done before the bed bug treatment process begins.

After a week, disinfection should be repeated using Foresight.
By following these simple tips and tricks, you can forget about the nasty bugs that live in your home forever.
There are cases when, after disinfecting an apartment, parasites appear again. This is because not all hard-to-reach nooks and crannies were treated; in some places the insects were able to survive. In this case, a new disinfection of the house is required.
Treatment
The treatment is carried out from a spray bottle with already prepared diluted product. The exterminator must wear a protective suit, goggles, a respirator or a gauze bandage . Hands should be covered with rubber gloves.
Before the spraying procedure, it is necessary to turn off the power to the apartment to avoid electric shock. First of all, cabinets (including shelves inside), beds, upholstered furniture, sockets, pillows and mattresses are processed.
