Instructions for use of Regent against cockroaches with reviews

What kind of drug is Regent?

Initially, Regent 800 was used to treat cultivated plants against garden pests. It was later noticed that the substance also has a detrimental effect on cockroaches.

Composition of the drug Regent

The main active ingredient of the insecticide is fipronil, a pesticide belonging to the second class of poisons. It is included in the composition in a ratio of 800 g per 1 kg of the drug and is characterized by long-term toxicity. Additionally, the poison contains permethrin (10%) and chlorophos (15%), which are converted in the intestines of the pest under the influence of stomach acid into very toxic substances.

Release form

Regent is available in the form of:

• powder (0.5 g bags or 100 g plastic jars);
• emulsions (in 5 mg ampoules or 100 ml bottles).

To disinfect a room from pests, poison in any form requires dissolution in water.

What kind of remedy is this?

Regent is an excellent insecticide, originally developed to get rid of garden insects. It has a very wide range of effects, killing many types of pests. We learned about its effectiveness against cockroaches and other synanthropic inhabitants quite by accident. How does the drug affect the body of domestic parasites?

The product contains fipronil, a drug from the phenylpyrazoles group. This is an innovative pesticide characterized by increased toxicity over a long period.

It has a strong neurotoxic effect on the body of insects. Once inside, fipronil blocks the transmission of nerve impulses. Thus, it causes a complete cessation of the nervous system, paralysis and death of the pest.

IMPORTANT! The regent even destroys populations that have developed resistance to other types of insecticides. Fipronil enters the body of cockroaches through contact or intestinal routes and is a systemic compound.

To receive a dose of poison, the cockroach only needs to run through the areas treated by the Regent. In addition, before his death, he will still have time to bring poison to the colony on his paws and poison his relatives

Fipronil enters the body of cockroaches through contact or intestinal routes and is a systemic compound. To receive a dose of poison, the cockroach only needs to run through the areas treated by the Regent. In addition, before his death, he will still have time to bring poison to the colony on his paws and poison his relatives.

How Regent 800 works on cockroaches

The drug is doubly effective, as it is capable of destroying a cockroach in several ways:

1. External. If the drug gets on the legs or chitinous cover of an insect, then after some time it seeps into its body cavity. There it affects the nervous system, disrupting its functioning. Also on the legs of the cockroach, the poison is transferred to the nests, further infecting other individuals.
2. Internal. If a cockroach eats poison, it enters the digestive tract, instantly having a toxic effect on the nerve endings and destroying the insect in just an hour or two.

Another quality of Regent 800 is that it affects any individual that comes into contact with the poison. There were no cases where a cockroach ate poison and did not die.

Instructions for use Regent 800

The manufacturer provides instructions for using the drug against cockroaches, but unfortunately does not indicate the dosage for diluting the solution. You need to look for information on how to mix poison with water yourself.

Below are recommendations that need to be followed before, after and during treatment of the room with Regent 800.

How to prepare premises for treatment

First of all, before spraying the poison:

• remove all household inhabitants from the apartment, including animals;
• either take out the aquarium with fish or cover it with a lid, turn off the compressor and open it only after ventilation;
• remove all products that may be affected by the substance, as well as yours and pets’ dishes;
• Place clothes, toys and household items in plastic bags and place them in the closet.

Prepare the room by following these steps:

1. It is necessary to ensure that the cockroach cannot drink or eat the poison. Clean up, getting rid of crumbs, dirty dishes, leftover food and debris.
2. Keep the room as dry as possible. Turn the taps on tightly, wipe the sink dry, and repair the water supply and sewage system if necessary (if there are leaks in the pipes).
3. Remove potted flowers and other objects that can absorb poison vapors.
4. Close the windows tightly.

How to breed Regent 800

The drug should be diluted and used only if safety precautions are observed. For the initial treatment of a room inhabited by a large colony of cockroaches, make a concentrated solution. Dilute an ampoule or 0.5 g of dry powder in 1 glass of warm water. The solution is immediately ready for use.

How and where to apply the prepared solution?

Before the procedure, buy a spray bottle. It will facilitate processing, save solution and ensure that the substance gets into hard-to-reach places. Fill a spray bottle with concentrated poison and treat all possible cockroach habitats, paying special attention to:

• semi;
• skirting boards;
• areas near the trash can;
• drains under the bathtub and sink;
• cracks;
• ventilation;
• window sills;
• legs and walls of cabinets.

The poison should be sprayed at a distance of 20 cm from all areas and surfaces. After spraying, leave the room immediately.

Effect of the drug

For the product to help, do not open windows and doors in the room for at least two hours after spraying. The highest concentration of fipronil is 1.5-2 hours after treatment. The substance immediately begins to actively influence the pest, however, it does not destroy cockroaches instantly, but over time, over several days. The poison will be effective for about 4 more weeks.

Preparing the premises for occupancy

After 2 hours, return to the apartment and open the windows. The poison is odorless, but its vapors can remain in the air, enter the respiratory system and have a negative effect on humans. Leave the room to ventilate for 1.5-2 hours. Then carry out wet cleaning, thoroughly washing all objects that people or pets may come into contact with with a saline or soap-soda solution.

How to use the drug for prevention

The drug is capable of destroying adults within a few days, but the poison will not destroy eggs protected by a hard shell. To get rid of all individuals forever, repeat the treatment after two weeks, making the solution less concentrated. For preventive spraying, dilute an ampoule or sachet of Regent 800 powder in 1 or 2 liters of water. Treat the room in the same way as before, being sure to follow all safety precautions.

Peculiarities

According to reviews, the concentration of the solution is not indicated on the Regent cockroach remedy. The owners in practice have determined how many granules or powder are needed for different levels of contamination of the room.

Helpful information:

1. For initial treatment, it is better to take 1 sachet or ampoule, which is diluted in warm water (250 ml).
2. For a secondary procedure or for prevention, the concentration is lower - 1 sachet or ampoule is required for 1-2 liters of water.

A strong solution improves the effectiveness of disinfestation. For repeated treatment, you do not need to prepare a product of the same concentration as for the first: the effect of the drug is not over yet, you just need to consolidate the result.

Security measures

Be sure to follow safety precautions. The poison is dangerous to humans and can cause poisoning if it gets into:

• on the skin;
• into the respiratory tract;
• into the digestive system;
• into the blood through wounds and scratches.

To protect yourself from the negative effects of poison vapors, when preparing the solution and spraying the room, follow these steps:

1. Wear clothing that completely covers your body. Ideally, a special thick suit or robe.
2. Wear rubber gloves on your hands.
3. Put a protective mask on your face. It is better if it is a respirator, so the vapors will definitely not get into the respiratory system.
4. Cover your eyes with safety glasses.
5. After treatment, wash your hands and face well, rinse your mouth with soda solution.

How does Regent affect pets and people?

• pregnant and lactating women;
• people suffering from allergies or asthma;
