I found all 3 options, but I don't know what to look for. They look almost the same, the design of the packages is different. One of the products (Super) comes in a large bottle, but also costs several times more. I need the help of an expert, because I can not figure it out on my own. Previously did not have to deal with such issues, no experience at all. Can you advise me which "Executioner" is the best. Thank you.

History of the Executioner
The remedy was originally developed in Germany. It was used in the barracks. The drug helped to get rid of bedwetters, даже когда их было очень много. Затем его начали использовать для борьбы с кровососами на объектах другого целевого назначения. Позднее (в 2013 г.) Палач появился в нашей стране, где также проявил свою эффективность. Препарат зарегистрирован, прошел проверку. Он работает быстро, уже через 10 минут после processing you can see the first results.
Composition of the drug and how the poison works
The original Executioner is moderately toxic due to its painful mild action on warm-blooded animals. The reason for such properties is the production of the product based on the insecticide fention. It is the most popular representative of organophosphates. This substance is used for the extermination of insects of different species: crawling, flying. The form of release is concentrate.
Fenthion acts on the nervous system of parasites. The mechanism of operation is the ability to inhibit cholinesterase, an enzyme found in the nervous tissue, which affects a number of processes, such as the transport of sodium ions, the regulation of excitability. This provokes disruption of nervous system function. As a result, paralysis occurs, pests die quickly.
The speed at which such treatment results are obtained can vary, depending on the dosage of fention and the method of its delivery to the infected surfaces.
The drug Executioner from bedbugs has an intestinal-contact action. So, it is equally effective in destroying various synanthropic and street insectsincluding blood-sucking specimens. For the removal of bed bugs from the object can be applied on the basis of contact or intestinal compounds. There are highly specialized insecticides - intestinal action. They will not help to remove bed bugs, as they will not get into their body (which is due to the peculiarities of the parasites' nutrition). So, it is recommended to use Executioner and similar products.
Effects on larvae and eggs
We need to learn more about the characteristics of the offspring of bedfellows parasites. Bedbug Executioner is used at different stages of development of these insects. Larvae are similar to adults in many ways, but they are smaller in body size and have not fully formed outer coatings. Due to the fact that the cuticle is renewed several times, larvae can be destroyed quickly. Fenthion rapidly penetrates the body through the outer covers.
While imago cuticles are quite dense and protect from many negative factors, larvae have a thinner chitinous shell, especially at the initial stage of formation after molting.
The drug acts on the young generation and adults individuals the same. The principle of operation of the substance boils down to the processes: lesion of the nervous system, paralysis, rapid death. However, in spite of the fact that the Executioner from bedbugs is used when individuals are just beginning to develop, the drug has no effect on eggs. The insecticide it contains cannot penetrate through the dense cuticle. Accordingly, the product in question should be applied at least twice: first the basic treatment is carried out, and after 2 weeks (when a new generation of parasites emerges from the eggs) the procedure is repeated.
How to use the product: instructions for use
If a concentrated liquid is used, you must proceed in sequence. This will allow you to properly perform the treatment, minimizing the risk of errors. Basic steps:
- preparation;
- preparation of the working solution: the concentrate is not used in pure form, it must be mixed with water;
- To deliver a bedbug remedy, choose the appropriate method, and it is important to know exactly what areas to treat;
- cleaning is performed, but not all at once, it is correct to remove the active ingredient from surfaces in stages.
Preparing for processing
Before starting the disinfestation procedure, you must turn off the electricity. This will allow you to freely apply the liquid substance, treat equipment and areas near switches, outlets. Further actions are mandatory before starting the work:
- Remove textile items if they may be infested (high risk if there are a large number of bed bugs at home), wash at high temperature: treat bedding, plaids, clothes, drapes;
- personal belongings are taken out of the room (hygiene items, underwear, cosmetics, towels);
- If woven items are not infected for sure, they are simply put away in airtight, sealed bags that can be left in the room to be treated;
- Large furniture is pulled out closer to the center of the room, but not too much, and so much so that there is a gap between the back wall and the wall, enough to handle hard-to-reach areas;
- the carpet is rolled up or also cleaned from bed bugs with an insecticide (in the second case, the preparation is sprayed over the covering, if it is possible to leave the apartment for a few days);
- the mattress must be removed from the bed and placed next to it at a slight angle, the sofa is unfolded (for cases where the design is folding) or partially dismantled;
- The walls are cleared of interior objects.
How to dilute the product
The product contains 27.5% fentione. This is a significant dose of insecticide, but it is not recommended to use the concentrate in its pure form, as this will increase the toxicity to humans and the consumption of the poisoning agent will also increase. It is necessary to mix the preparation with water, but it is important to use the proportions recommended by the manufacturer. Usually it is sufficient to add the contents of 2 bottles of Executioner in 1 liter of water.
If there are a lot of bloodsuckers on the object, you should dilute the drug according to another scheme - the contents of 3 cans and 1 liter of water.
How to use and applications
Prepared solution is used to exterminate bed bugs in the home and other objects. If possible, treat all coatings, furniture, furnishings and even appliances. But you can be guided by the degree of infestation of the object. If there are a lot of insects, it will be necessary to treat everything that is possible. When the parasites have still begun to spread throughout the room, this process is stopped by a simpler method. In doing so, spray poison only where bed bugs can be found in the first place:
- bed (frame and mattress);
- couch;
- chairs;
- plinths;
- floor and walls;
- old equipment that is not in use;
- photos (frames on the back side);
- wall clock;
- perimeter sockets;
- switches;
- windowsill.
You can use a working solution based on a bedbug repellent in two ways:
- spray with a respirator;
- Apply with a brush or sponge, rag;
- If there is a household fog generator at home, it can also be used.
The most effective is the latter method of applying the drug. However, buying it specifically for a single treatment of the room is impractical because of its high price. For this reason, the first method - the sprayer - is the most common. It repeats the same principle of action as the fog generator: it sprays the fine particles of poison, but the size of the drops in this case is smaller.
This reduces the effectiveness of the product, because the particles quickly settle and almost never reach the respiratory tract parasites.
Table: The amount of Executioner needed to prepare a working emulsion
To get an excellent result when treating the room with Executioner against bed bugs, the composition and volume of water for preparing a working solution should be known first. The exact amount of substance and liquid is given in the table.
Active compound concentration (%) | Volume of the product (ml) when mixed with water (l) | Volume of the product (ml) when mixed with water (l) | Volume of the product (ml) when mixed with water (l) |
---|---|---|---|
1 л | 5 л | 10 л | |
0,5 | 18,2 | 91 | 182 |

How to spot a fake
Now you can find different preparations with the same name - Executioner. However, not all of them are equally effective. Moreover, among such remedies there are those that are dangerous when used (can act aggressively against humans). It is necessary to pay attention to a number of signs. This will allow you to understand which variety you should buy. Features of original products:
- A correctly spelled name (with no mistakes or intentionally altered letters - a common way to mislead consumers who are looking for an original product, but do not study the label carefully enough);
- information about the manufacturer: contacts, address, registration data;
- The bottle must be in a standard color scheme, which is peculiar to it (defined by the manufacturer);
- There is a hologram on the packaging of the original Executioner;
- the drug has a characteristic odor - a faint, garlic-like odor, which is a feature of the insecticide fention.
"Executioner Super."
This drug is a full analogue of the considered Executioner. Interestingly, both versions are produced by the same manufacturer. The main ingredient is fention. The dosage is exactly the same - 27.5%. This suggests that Super Executioner is also effective. It should be used according to the same instructions: it should be diluted with water, you can take as a basis the proportions given in the table above. The poison works on a similar principle (it affects the nervous system), so you should be careful when working with it.
The bottle is different from the second version: it is made of white polymeric material, the label is decorated in white and yellow colors.
"Executioner Extra
This product is not a registered product (there is no information about it on the Rospotrebnadzor website), and therefore may be considered a counterfeit product of unknown origin, despite the fact that the label indicates the manufacturer. The composition includes cypermethrin. And the concentration of the active substance is high - 25%. If the formulation of the drug is correct, and the poisoning component exhibits properties like any pyrethroid, then even the Executioner Extra will provide a good treatment result.
Classic Executioner
The active ingredient is fentione, the concentration is 27.5%. The drug is available in a white polymeric bottle. The name is printed on it in red letters. On the side surface you can find all the necessary information about the drug and the manufacturer.
On the other side you can see a hologram - a sign of the original product.
Safety precautions for use
The concentrated product contains a significant dose of insecticide - a substance with a toxic effect. For this reason, one of the stages of using the Executioner against bed bugs according to the instructions is the preparation of protective equipment: goggles, polymer gloves, respirator, closed clothing and headscarf or other headgear.
Help in case of accidental poisoning
Further actions depend on the method of delivery of the poison into the human body:
- through the digestive tract: you need to flush (drink plenty of fluids), take a sorbent, further treatment - symptomatic: drugs are prescribed to eliminate the symptoms of poisoning;
- through the respiratory tract: this is the most dangerous option, it is impossible to reduce the insecticide in the body on your own, you need to go to the inpatient department of the nearest hospital, the drug will be administered intravenously;
- When the drug comes into contact with the skin, it is sufficient to wash the affected areas with a soapy solution.
Is the product harmful to humans. Hazard Class
Fentione, which is contained in the drug Executioner, is a class 2 hazard. It can cause harm if ingested undiluted.
Insecticide content decreases after mixing with water.
What to do after treatment. What to do to stop bed bugs from coming back
When the spraying procedure is finished, leave the room. Windows and doors should be left closed. This will kill as many as possible bedbugs. After 30 minutes or 2-3 hours (depends on how much free time a person has) it is possible to make through ventilation - open windows and doors. Immediately clean some (not all!) surfaces from the insecticide: armrests, door and window handles, shelves and bedside tables.
You can prevent the appearance of parasites if you take a number of measures:
- carry out minor repairs, it is important to eliminate cracks in the floor, walls, window and door units;
- treat the ventilation grille, baseboards with Mashenka pencil or Executioner;
- laying around the apartment strongly smelling herbs: Artemisia, tansy;
- regularly inspect the room;
- install a fine mesh mesh on the ventilation grid.
