Effective - a universal household insecticide for killing insects in residential areas. It is most often used to kill cockroaches due to the content of components that have the most pronounced effect on cockroaches.
For example, when sprayed directly, red cockroaches die in 29 minutes:
Black cockroaches die after contact with the liquid solution. Effective in 8.5 minutes:
Effective contains insecticides to which cockroaches are not known to be resistant. This ensures that any cockroach sprayed with the solution will die.
Effective contains three powerful insecticides at once
Effective contains insecticides to which cockroaches are not known to be resistant. This ensures that any cockroach that is sprayed with the solution will die.
Effectively kills cockroaches due to the simultaneous action of three components:
- Propoxur in an amount of 8.6% by weight of the drug
- Tetramethrin - 0.43%
- Piperonyl butoxide - 0.85%
Together they have a powerful nerve-paralytic effect on insects.
Once propoxur enters the nervous tissue, it blocks the enzyme that binds acetylcholine, an important neurotransmitter. Because of this, acetylcholine accumulates in nerve synapses without returning to neurons, and the connection between nerve cells and muscles is disrupted. Paralysis develops.
Tetramethrin disrupts the migration of potassium and sodium ions across the presynaptic membrane, which leads to an acceleration of the release of acetylcholine into the space of the nerve synapse. This speeds up the process initiated by propoxur.
Piperonyl butoxide blocks enzymes in the cockroach's body that break down tetramethrin. In this way it protects tetramethrin from degradation and guarantees its effectiveness.
Additionally, piperonyl butoxide accelerates the passage of tetramethrin through the chitinous integument of the insect's body. Thanks to this, Effective acts even when it gets on the wings, legs, or abdomen of an insect, and due to the same effect, it works quite quickly even after drying, when the cockroach simply runs over a layer of already dried product.
Brief description of the insecticide
Thanks to the innovative technology of Dutch developers, such a unique product as “Effective Ultra” is not considered dangerous or toxic for humans or animals. But at the same time, it is effective in destroying a large number of different types of insects that annoy a person in his home. Everyone knows how difficult it is to remove bed bugs, for example.

BUY
The peculiarity of the substance that attracts most buyers is that it smells practically nothing and is non-toxic to people! This is extremely important for processing institutions such as medical or childcare facilities, as well as human homes.
There is no known resistance in insects to even two of the components of Efficient
There have been no cases of insect resistance to at least two components of Effektiv simultaneously. This means that in any room, at least two out of three insecticides will act on any cockroach that comes into contact with the product. And this, in turn, ensures that the drug will kill any insect it comes into contact with.
Cases of resistance to either propoxur or tetramethrin alone are extremely rare. Of the several thousand cockroach populations studied in residential buildings in Moscow and the Moscow region, there are only a few populations resistant to one of them. These are hundredths of a percent of the total number of cockroaches. Consequently, in each particular apartment, cockroaches will almost certainly die from the action of each of the components of Effektiv separately, and will definitely die from the simultaneous action of all three insecticides in its composition.
Purpose
The insecticidal agent is intended for the destruction of synanthropic insects (red, black and American cockroaches, bed bugs, rat fleas, red house ants, crickets, silverfish, spiders, skin beetles, mosquito larvae) by organizations engaged in disinfection activities at facilities for various purposes: industrial and residential premises, at public utility facilities (hotels, dormitories, sports complexes), at public catering establishments, in health care facilities during final disinsection, in children's institutions (except for bedrooms, dining rooms and playrooms) on sanitary days and weekends, as well as by the population at home .
Effectively kills cockroaches after drying on a surface for 2 weeks
The instructions for use of the product state that the Efficient solution retains its insecticidal properties for 2 weeks after drying.
This means that even if a cockroach runs over the dried preparation, it will die.
Insecticides from Effective are grouped into microcapsules that retain their shape even after drying. When insecticides come into contact with the body of an insect, they are released from microcapsules onto the surface of the chitinous cuticle and are drawn into it, then penetrating into the muscles and nervous tissue, where they have a toxic effect. This residual effect of Efficient has been tested on red cockroaches:
And then on black:
Due to this action, surfaces treated with Efficient, on which cockroaches often run, are recommended not to be washed for 2 weeks after treatment: if individual individuals survive in the apartment in the most inaccessible places, or if new cockroaches get here from neighbors, they will die after moving around such dry treated surfaces.
Mechanism of action
It is a potent insecticide against synanthropic insects. The mechanism of action is as follows: after application to the surface, the insect comes into contact with the drug, the active substances penetrate inside and poison.
The drug has a prolonged effect; after application to non-absorbent surfaces, it remains active for 4 weeks, and on absorbent surfaces for up to 7 days.
The product is effective against any arthropods - insects, spiders, ticks, centipedes and woodlice.
Effectively kills any arthropods - its mechanism of action is realized in the body of any invertebrate that has the same structure of the nervous system as that of cockroaches. Due to this, they can destroy:
- Bed bugs at all active stages of development - nymphs and adults
- Cockroaches - red, black, American, furniture
- Ants, including on personal plots
- Fleas (on surfaces and hiding places only, NOT on pets)
- Beetles of any kind - weevils, borers, flour beetles, leather beetles
- Moth - both clothing and food
- silverfish
- Ticks - argas, ixodid, gamas, dust
- Spiders
- Moist
- Millipedes - nodule, centipedes, drupes, flycatchers
Watch a video of Efficient treatment in an ordinary apartment, where it was used to poison poisonous spiders, bedbugs, silverfish, and even an accidentally flown butterfly:
At the same time, according to the observations of disinfectants, Efficient acts as quickly as possible on cockroaches, and therefore in professional practice it is used specifically for baiting cockroaches.
Reviews about the product
Maria, Leningrad region. In our children's camp, where I have been working as a counselor for several years, this drug was used before the children arrived. In the dining room, the kitchen was treated for flies and cockroaches. The product is simply excellent! After one treatment, we carried out sewage disposal one more time for prevention, but only after 1.5 months. Although the appearance of cockroaches was no longer noticed, and very few flies showed up, they still decided to treat the children again between visits.
Slava Khotenkov, Arkhangelsk region. There are tons of mosquitoes in our area! Even though I live in an apartment, they still plague the residents - almost everyone has mosquito nets. But these bloodsuckers somehow manage to get through - through the ventilation, I think. In short, a neighbor once invited the sanitary service to his home to kill mosquitoes and block their access to the apartment. Here I asked for it - in my apartment they treated ventilation hatches, window slopes, door frames and even upper cabinets and storage rooms with the Ultra Effect. After such a total treatment, I didn’t notice any mosquitoes at home for 6 months. Then they appeared again, but not much. I called the sanitation company, they said that a mosquito net should be installed on the ventilation. I did everything myself, installed a mesh on the ventilation duct in the bathroom and kitchen. It helped! Now I have a life without a mosquito!
A bottle of Efficient is enough to treat 80 square meters. m. surfaces
In accordance with the instructions, to kill cockroaches, you need to prepare a working solution of 1 liter of water and 25 ml of Efficient. The drug in a 100 ml bottle is enough to prepare 4 liters of working solution.
According to the same instructions, to kill cockroaches, surfaces should be sprayed with a solution consumption of 50 ml per 1 square meter. m, if the surface does not absorb liquid, or 100 ml per 1 sq. m., if the surface absorbs liquids.
Therefore, for spraying non-absorbent surfaces, one bottle is enough to treat 80 square meters. m. area of material. Since cockroaches most often stick to hard, non-absorbent surfaces, you can count on spraying just such an area.
Practice shows that a bottle of Effective is enough to remove cockroaches from a standard two-room apartment. If the infestation is not severe, half a bottle will be enough to kill the cockroaches, and half can be left in case of repeated treatment in the future. In case of severe infestation, a solution from one bottle can be used to treat the entire apartment and destroy all the cockroaches in it.

Before starting treatment, wet clean the site, remove personal hygiene items and food. To apply the composition, use a spray bottle or brushes. After disinfestation, the facility is closed for at least 4-6 hours. Afterwards, ventilation and wet cleaning are carried out. It is prohibited to use the premises for their intended purpose without wet cleaning.
There are no known cases of poisoning of people and domestic animals with Effektiv or its solutions.
Effective is quite safe if you follow the instructions in the instructions for use. Today there are no known cases of poisoning of people or pets after using it.
All active components of Efficient are completely neutralized by enzymes in the body of warm-blooded animals, without leading to damage to the nervous system. They can have a toxic effect only on invertebrates, and to a lesser extent on cold-blooded vertebrates (fish, frogs). If a significant amount of the drug enters the body of a person, cat, or dog, typical signs of poisoning may appear - nausea, dizziness - which quickly stop if you go out into the fresh air and drink clean water.
If you follow the instructions in the instructions, the likelihood of significant quantities of Efficient entering the human body is practically excluded. The handler, working in a respirator, long sleeves and gloves, is reliably protected from the product entering the body. People who do not take part in the treatment leave the room while the room is being sprayed, and they also cannot get poisoned.
Precautionary measures
If, when processing a room, working liquid or suspension gets on the skin or mucous membranes, you need to quickly rinse them with cold water or a weak solution of soda (1 tablespoon per liter of water). If the insecticide gets into the stomach, you cannot induce vomiting - several tablets of activated carbon will help prevent absorption. After finishing the treatment of the room, you should thoroughly wash your hands and face with cool water.
Advice
Regardless of the well-being of the victim, if poisoned by an insecticide, you should immediately call a doctor or go to the nearest hospital.
