Among the huge number of insecticides, it is not easy to choose one that has the best effect. Experienced plant growers advise using the insecticide Intavir for indoor plants. This is an enteric contact drug with a wide spectrum of effects, neutralizing more than 50 different representatives of harmful insects. This product can be used on plants growing indoors, fruit trees, and vegetables.
Composition and release form of the drug
The insecticidal drug "Intavir" can be purchased in tablet form. The tablet with the active substance quickly dissolves in liquid. There is a powder form of the drug with similar dissolution ability. The concentration of the active element "Cypermethrin" is 3.75 percent. The main active element is included in the subgroup of pytertoids - analogues of plant insecticidal agents with contact-intestinal effects. When insect pests interact with it, they provoke nervous system disorder, organ spasms, convulsions and death. Natural “Pyrethrin” is included in the composition of extracts of chamomile, tansy stems and green mass of chrysanthemums. The product has a wide spectrum of action and is safe for plants.
"Intavir" is the optimal way to combat insects
Impact principle
The effect of Intavira is similar to the ancient method: the use of dried Dalmatian chamomile flowers. The flower has been used since ancient times and is trustworthy. Peretroid or the second generation of cypermethrin is an analogue of the natural substance.
The active ingredient is poisonous. After application to the foliage, the bark is effective (without increasing humidity) for up to 28-30 days. It enters the body of insects along with food and begins to destroy nerve cells. The applied preparation is not absorbed into plant juices, but remains on the surface in the form of a thin film.
Once ingested, the toxic component kills the insect. Approximate waiting time is up to 3 days. But the substance can only kill adults. Intavir has no effect on larvae and eggs. If it rains, the working solution (film) is washed off.
The pesticide cannot be used multiple times per season. Annual use leads to pests becoming accustomed to Intavir. Therefore, it is recommended to alternately apply insecticides.
Need to know! Intavir is a product that helps get rid of bed bugs. The toxicity is so great that in three doses there is a chance of eliminating the problem forever. It's not just furniture that is treated. Skirting boards, wallpaper, and radiators should be treated. After eliminating the insects, the room is ventilated and thoroughly washed with special products.
How does the product work?
The name of the active ingredient is borrowed from the name of the plant in which its highest concentration was detected - pyrethrum (Dolmatian chamomile). Synthesized artificial analogues, characterized by a stronger paralyzing effect on insect pests. The main effect is a paralyzing effect on various pests of the garden and home after treatment by irrigating the green mass of the plant. The drug has a subtle odor that attracts insects. A thin film is formed on the surface of the treated leafy part of the plants, which does not penetrate into their cells. When insect pests come into contact with the surface of plants coated with the drug, it enters the digestive tract. From there it quickly penetrates all systems of the body, causing inevitable death. The duration of action after a single treatment ranges from 15 days to 1 month.
Precautionary measures
Opened packaging cannot be stored. If the product is accidentally spilled, it must be collected in a bag and covered with sand, the bag should be packed and thrown into a container with household waste.
And although the manufacturer believes that the drug does not have a toxic effect on humans, you should wear protective glasses and gloves when working with Inta-Vir solutions. After work, the face and hands should be thoroughly washed with soap and running water, and the clothes in which the treatment was carried out should be changed.
Under no circumstances is it recommended to use containers intended for food purposes to prepare working solutions.
In case of accidental ingestion of the product, the mouth should be thoroughly rinsed with a weak solution of potassium permanganate and drink 2-3 tablets of activated carbon.
