But more than 5 years have passed since I bought the first product. Now I have discovered that at least 5 remedies with this name have appeared. I am already studying the composition and properties: Supercila, Cyper, Neo, Super, Medilis Anticlop, instructions for use from bed bugs, reviews of real buyers. But in my humble opinion, they all work almost identically. I am not an expert in this matter, so I will not argue, but take for granted the opinion of a knowledgeable person. Tell me which of the preparations Medilis is better to buy to get rid of bloodsuckers at home. I would be grateful for an expert opinion.

To get rid of bed bugs, you need to know their peculiarities
Parasites cannot exist in an area where there is no food and the conditions are not suitable. Bed bugs look for places where people sleep, and may live nearby for a long time if the potential host has a comfortable (room) temperature and moderate humidity. It is possible to create intolerable conditions for them, but there is a possibility that the pests will enter a diapause phase, which resembles anabiosis, when all processes in the body are inhibited.
Bed bugs can stay in this state for many months, and they are almost immune to the effects of poisonous substances.
The room is treated during the day, but insects are active at night, so spraying will not treat crawlers parasites. Accordingly, the bloodsuckers will get a dose of poison through the outer covers when they leave the shelters, move around the surfaces. This may reduce the effectiveness of the treatment somewhat. In comparison, when using the hot or cold fog or smoke grenade method, the poisoning agent penetrates even the most remote crevices.
Treatment with Medilis is carried out with a break - up to 2 weeks. This is done in order to wait for the emergence of the young generation parasites. Then the larvae will also receive a dose of poison, but the offspring will not be able to develop and reproduce and will soon die. You must also remember that bed bugs do not eat other foods, but only human and animal blood. Accordingly, baits as well as intestinal-type insecticides will have no effect on the parasites.
What is an insecticide
Medilis is available in liquid form. Some varieties are available in concentrate form. A spray is also sold. The composition varies depending on the type of the drug.
The principle of action is the same - defeat the nervous system of bed bugs.
The poison penetrates through the chitinous shell into the body. And pests get a dose of a poisonous substance when they crawl on surfaces. Medilis products contain primarily pyrethroids, but some contain other components as well.
Types of Medilis
Certain varieties are known to a wider range of consumers, such as Anticlop and Cyper, which is partly due to the demand for drugs for a particular intended use.
But other remedies also perform their functions well.
They also contain insecticides, but the dosage or combination of components may be different, which affects the result of treatment. It is necessary to study the properties of each product to understand which option is best to use under different conditions.
Anticlop
The drug is a three-component product. The composition includes:
- permethrin;
- cypermethrin;
- tetramethrin.
The form of release is a ready-to-use solution. It can be purchased in a bottle with a sprayer.
This is one of the most convenient forms to use.
When a surface is sprayed, the substance is distributed evenly as small droplets of the product are released, covering the floor and objects with a thin insecticidal film.
Characteristics of Anticlop
The product was developed together with the Research Institute of Disinfectology and therefore its effectiveness is proven and verified. The advantage of Medilis Anticlop is its long residual effect. The insecticide retains its properties for 60 days after treatment. This helps to kill the larvae which appear later.
Principle of action: cypermethrin disrupts the flow of sodium ions, at the same time there is a change in the rate of opening and closing of sodium channels. At the same time the process of polarization of nerve cell membranes is inhibited. Tetramethrin enhances the action of the first 2 components - it disrupts metabolic processes with the participation of sodium and potassium ions.
These peculiarities of the substances interfere with the transmission of nerve impulses, which provokes paralysis.
Instructions for use "Medilis Anticlop"
Consumption of the ready-to-use product is not more than 10 g per 1 sq. m. This will provide a high level of efficiency at a moderate cost of purchasing the drug. The main steps of the instructions for use:

Description of Medilis Ciper
The principle of action is similar in general terms to the way the above drug - Medilis Anticlop works, reviews confirm the effectiveness of both drugs.
The Ciper variety refers to insect-acaricidal agents, it also destroys spiders, not only insects.
If necessary, you can treat the area. It is allowed to use the product at home, but in this case the smell will be stronger.
How to use Medilis Ciper
The general recommendations for use of the spray (given above) and the concentrate are similar. This is because Ciper is mixed with water and then poured into a spray bottle. The result is the same spray as in the ready-to-use form, which can be purchased in the store.
It is only important to mix the Ciper concentrate with water correctly: dilute 2 ml of insecticidal liquid in 1 liter of water.
And before use, the solution should be stirred to a uniform consistency for 5 minutes.
Super
It is an insect-acaricide, and it can also be used in the fight against ectoparasites (lice).
It contains fenthion, a substance representing organophosphorus compounds.
And the concentration is high - 24%, which makes the product dangerous for humans and animals if used improperly. It is available in bottles: 50 ml and 500 ml.
Characteristics of Medilis Super
The principle of action of this type of drug is based on cholinesterase inhibition. Under the influence of fenthion there is a decrease in the activity of the enzymes. This does not allow a number of internal processes to develop. As a result, there are signs of paralysis, pests die.
As a result, there are signs of paralysis and the pests die.

The drug is positioned as effective in the fight against bed bugs.
Description Medilis Supercila
The principle of action of cypermethrin and imidacloprid is similar - both components contribute to the disruption of the nervous system. The second of the substances binds to acetylcholine receptors of the central nervous system parasites.
Thanks to the simultaneous action of these components provides a double effect - parasites are killed faster.
Medilis Neo
This drug differs significantly not only from the analogues among the products of this brand, but also from other kinds of remedies. It contains a neonicotinoid - imidacloprid - as well as a component of the class of organophosphorus compounds - chlorpyrifos.
And the concentration of each of the substances is high.

Expert tips
- General cleaning after the end of treatment can be carried out after 2-3 weeks, if you clean surfaces from the invisible insecticidal film earlier, it will nullify all efforts;

Conclusion
Bed bugs live close to humans because they feed on blood. They can only be eliminated with contact or combined insecticides. Other features of the treatment must also be considered:
- Different Medilis products are used: Cyper, Anticlop, Super, Supersila, Neo. They differ in composition and contain insecticides of different classes.
- Each of the substances in the preparations has different properties, but what they have in common is the common result of their influence - the nervous system is affected. Bedbugs die of paralysis.
- Before treatment, the room is prepared. The working solution is mixed when the concentrate has been purchased. In comparison, sprays are already ready to be sprayed. When the work is finished, it is necessary to partially remove the poison from some coatings.
