Top 3 drugs Get (Get) from bed bugs: "Get Total", "Express", "pencil Dry", real customer reviews, instructions for use remedy for bed bugs

Reader Question:

Anna

When bedbugs appeared at home, I sent my husband to get a preparation for exterminating insects. He came back with the loot - he bought all the Geth products. They are produced under the same brand name, probably similar in many ways. It turns out that scolded her husband in vain, perhaps he was right to take these products, but at the same time, something tells me that I could have done with one of them. I understand it on an intuitive level, but I can't confirm it with anything.
As a result, my husband is offended: he tried, and he got it for nothing. Now I want to figure out which Goet's bedbug repellent is better. For example, I associate the pencil with the crayon "Mashenka", and the product Express - with a very fast effective treatment (just what we need in our situation). Total is probably for all occasions, an all-purpose product. We need a specialist to intervene. Can you tell me which of the preparations should be taken, and justify your opinion with something, so I can explain to my husband. Thank you.

Composition and product forms

Geth products are available in several varieties. They include a concentrate - a microencapsulated emulsion - as well as a solid substance.

Geth is considered one of the best household products that exhibit insecticidal activity.

The composition includes substances of different classes: pyrethroids, organophosphates and neonicotinoids, which depends on the type of agent. Taking into account these differences, the properties of the poison emulsion change.

Get Total

This means that if you use the product, the result of the treatment will be noticeable a little later.

Get Express

This preparation is similar to the above one in many respects. It is also a microencapsulated emulsion, but the manufacturer positions it as more effective. It is believed that the product produced under the brand name Get bedbugs marked Express provides the desired effect faster than Total.

For this reason, it is recommended to use these remedies in combination with each other.

Get Dry Pencil

The product is produced by the same manufacturer as the Total and Express types discussed. The pencil is applied to surfaces with different properties: hard, soft, fluffy, smooth. As a result, a film is formed that protects things, coatings from parasites. And it's matte.

No trace remains after application, so things do not get dirty.

The composition includes two active components:

• alphacypermethrin;
• imidacloprid.

The first of the substances is a class of pyrethroids, it is distinguished by its ability to exhibit intestinal contact action. This type of insecticide acts on the transmission of nerve impulses. At the same time, bed bugs are affected by imidacloprid, a neonicotinoid that binds to acetylcholine receptors of the nervous system, which causes signs of paralysis.

- Geth products are effective, this is confirmed by consumers every day, but I would not recommend using them often, as there is always a risk of developing resistance in insects;
- re not necessary to apply the product, it will lead to increased costs, and there is no need for such measures when Geth is applied;
- Average consumption of the working solution: 50 ml/sq. m (hard coatings) and 100 ml/sq. m (absorbent coatings).

Conclusion

Geth products are in demand, their popularity has not declined over the past few years. This is due to the peculiarities:

1. On sale are Total, Express, and a solid substance, the Dry Get pencil. The formulation includes different insecticides, and there are both one-component and multi-component preparations, both varieties differ in effectiveness.
2. To prepare a solution to kill bed bugs you need to mix the contents of the bottle and 1-2 liters of water, which depends on the type of product. The pencil is completely ready for use.
3. Get is characterized by prolonged action (6-12 years), so there are no direct analogues that would be as competitive. The substance containing the active ingredients differs in structure from analogues - it is a microencapsulated emulsion.
