Top 3 products Varan against bed bugs: reviews of the insecticide

Reader Question:

Maria

I remember dichlorvos from my childhood. They used to poison the cockroaches in our house all the time. The smell was horrible, but it was said to be effective. I decided to buy it to get rid of bedbugs. I read that the drug kills crawling and flying insects. But I'm afraid of poisoning. I used to have an unpleasant reaction to Dichlorvos: my skin and eyes itched.
Современная версия препарата отличается обновленным дизайном, неясно только, что по составу. Сравнить я не могу, т. к. не изучала типы активных компонентов в советском Дихлофосе. Это нормально, ведь в детстве о таком не думаешь. В хозяйственном магазине мне показали несколько препаратов этой марки, нужно выбрать один. Изучаю о средстве Варан Дихлофос от клопов отзывы, универсальный, без запаха препараты – они отличаются составом. Не могу определить лучший, поэтому прошу помощи специалиста. Буду признательная за ответ. Мария.

Such preparations contain insecticides of the pyrethroid group. As a rule, the products contain several active components of different species, as well as the substance piperonyl butoxide, which enhances the effect of the poison. Such a combination helps to increase the effectiveness, eliminating the possibility of the development of resistance of parasites to the poison. For this reason, you can choose any of the preparations Varan from bed bugs insecticide, reviews of real people about them will help to make a final decision. Regarding the effectiveness and safety level, I can say that all 3 preparations (Universal, Odorless, Forte) are about the same level. The difference is in some secondary properties (presence/absence of odor, intended use, amount of poison).

Varan Dichlorvos types

When the fight against bedwettersThe products of this brand help to defeat them. They differ in composition. To choose the right product, you need to compare their properties.

Anna, 42 years old

When bedbugs first appeared at home, I bought Varan (red). I treated the room for a long time, because there were a lot of things, while I packed everything in cling film. I found a couple of nests in the sofa and an armchair. After treatment passed 1 week, I repeated the procedure. And that was it, no more bites appeared.

Victoria, 29

Dichlofos spray is said to be odorless, but it still smells a little. I did not use it everywhere, because it would have been impossible to sleep. After a while, bed bugs appeared again, but here I admit that I blame myself - I did not want to treat upholstered furniture. I bought the powder afterwards.

Sofia, 28

I bought Varan Dichlofos based on the reviews. I can't say anything bad about it. It helps from insects, but my consumption was much more, for 1 room it took 3 cylinders.

Does Dichlorvos help against bed bugs

The agents produced under this brand provide the desired result - they help to clean the object from parasitesThe insecticidal agent can be used for the treatment of the apartment, but provided that the instructions for use were not violated: preparation of the apartment was performed, the insecticide was not removed from the main surfaces (furniture, floor) after the end of treatment. It is also important to alternate pyrethroid-based products with other preparations (containing FOS, neonicotinoids), otherwise the bedbugs will develop resistance, and Dichlorfos will stop helping.

Safety precautions

Aerosol, spray and freezing fog (sprayed by a fog generator) - all of these agents help to release small particles containing the poison. Microdroplets are trapped in the air when sprayed, though not for long. For this reason, protective equipment must be worn: respirator, gloves (rubber gloves only), goggles. It is important to wash hands and other exposed body parts with soap and water and rinse your mouth, eyes and nose when you are finished working.

Question to the expert

Emma, 32

When I bought Varan against bedbugs, the reviews cheered me up - there were a lot of positive ones. But my allergies started when the treatment was already in full swing. My throat was very itchy and my eyes were watering. I had to go out, but first I opened the windows so that the drug could get out.

Maria, 45

I had a gauze bandage at home and put it on when I applied Dichlorfos. But it didn't work, I felt like I was breathing the insecticide. I had to hold my breath or walk away altogether. But I couldn't work like that for long, so I left it to my husband. I had a headache for a long time afterward.

Customer Reviews

Alice, 32 years old

I liked the way the Dichlofos cleaned the room. There were even fewer flies. I used to take the same brand of product, of a different kind, but the effect was not as good.

Victor, 34

I have never used an aerosol before, I always bought a concentrate and prepared a spray. The principle of these products is similar, but it seemed to me that the aerosol wears off faster. I sprayed the drug several times until the can ran out, but it was too time-consuming for me.

Irene, 38

I don't know how much better the Dichlofos is than the others. But I can say one thing - the smell is really weak. Otherwise, the product is ordinary, there is nothing super new in it, but it works.

Sarah, 45

I emptied all the closets, did the laundry. Then I processed the apartment. I kept the rooms closed for two days. After that, I just came back. I opened everything, ventilated. And it helped a lot, I think, because short-term action, as the manufacturer recommends, will not help.

Anna, 37 years old

I took Varan from bedbugs, I also read the reviews. But for some reason I did not manage to get rid of the parasites completely. There are fewer of them, I even noticed that there are almost no bites in the morning. But still some insects are still at home.

Ask a question

- The aerosol cannot be a substitute for the concentrate or the hot/cold fog, although these means are similar in principle of influence, but the first of the preparations should be combined with others (powder, chalk), since the aerosol is designed for moderately infected objects;
- The mandatory is a double treatment, unlike many other types of products, the spray does not kill insect eggs under any circumstances, it is too weak;
- spraying the insecticide with the windows open will further reduce the effectiveness of the treatment.

Conclusion

Dichlofos Varan is a pyrethroid-based product. In addition, it itself is presented in three variants: Forte, Universal and Odorless. To choose the right one, it is necessary to analyze the properties of the preparations:

The active ingredients are different, but belong to the same class: cypermethrin, permethrin, tetramethrin. Their action is enhanced by piperonyl butoxide, which has no activity against insectsbut enhances the effects of poisons.
They are available in different cans: red, green and gold. And they differ in container volume, properties, and area of application.
The treatment is carried out in stages: first the object is prepared, then the substance is sprayed, and then you should wait for the poison to work. You should wear a respirator and goggles, because the fine particles do not immediately settle on the surface and can enter the respiratory tract and eyes.
