And then I thought that I could compare the composition of well-known products from the store and Zonder anti-bug remedy, the instructions for use, price, reviews of real customers - everything so far speaks in favor of the new poison. I liked that the concentrate will be consumed slowly, because the liquid must be diluted with a large amount of water. The content of poisonous substances is not much higher than in many well-known preparations. I would like to hear the opinion of an expert, whether you can use Sonder at home. Thank you.

How to use the "Sounder" correctly
The drug has a powerful effect on bed bugs and therefore does not require simultaneous use of aids and methods. It can be sprayed or applied to surfaces. But despite these possibilities, it is better to resort to the traditional method - treatment with fine particulate matter. At home, this is achieved with a sprayer or a household generator fog.
"Zonder" - composition, mechanism of action, release form
The drug can be purchased as a toxic concentrated liquid. But it is not used in this form, because it leads to human intoxication and increases the cost of buying the insecticide, and it is quite expensive. Vials of different volumes are available for sale: from 50 to 250 ml. For domestic use, a small bottle is sufficient, as its contents will be diluted with water.
This will give you a large amount of product that is enough to clean a 1- or 2-room apartment.
The composition includes several substances that exhibit insecticidal activity. There are other components, all of which are important and perform their function. The remedy from bedbugs The probe contains:
- dicarboximide;
- chlorpyrifos;
- cypermethrin.
The principle of action of each of the substances is different. They represent different groups of poisonous substances. Thus, the first of the components is a synergist. The substance of this type does not exhibit insecticidal activity. Dicaboximide enhances the action of pyrethrins (natural poisons), their synthetic analogs - pyrethroids. Thanks to it different tasks are performed:
- increases the strength of insecticide action;
- the risk of insects developing resistance to the products used is reduced.
Chlorpyrifos is an insecticide representing the class of organophosphates. Its content in the concentrated liquid is 20%. This means that this component has a stronger effect on bed bugs. When it is used, the nervous system is disturbed parasites.
Chlorpyrifos accelerates the process of phosphorylation of the protein substrate found in nerve tissues.
In this case there is a change in the structure of the substance, a loss of properties. With the participation of such a substrate the process of transmission of nerve impulses is supported. If it loses its properties, the signs of paralysis gradually appear. The cause is overexcitation on the background of the convulsive activity of the muscles. The drug continues to work for 40-70 days.
The other active ingredient (cypermethrin) is a representative of pyrethroids. It is an insecticide of intestinal contact action, just like chlorpyrifos. Its principle of action: on contact with the poisonous substance in the body parasites The transmission of nerve impulses is disrupted, resulting in paralysis, and the insects die.
Accordingly, both insecticides cause damage to the nervous system, but in different ways.
What points to consider when fighting bed bugs
Bed bug probe helps kill insects at different stages: larvae, adults, nymphs and even eggs.
However, it is necessary to take into account the peculiarities of the composition: cypermethrin has no ability to penetrate through the protective shell of eggs, while chlorpyrifos, on the contrary, effectively destroys insects at any stage. Taking into account such differences in the principles of action of substances, it is not recommended to treat the room once. Still, it is better to repeat the procedure in 2 weeks, when a new generation of parasites will emerge from the eggs.
In addition, attention is paid to cleaning the room. But this should not be done after, but before the procedure. Thus, the working solution should not mix with dust during treatment. This will lead to a decrease in the effectiveness of the drug: microdroplets harden when they come into contact with dust particles. It is better to clean the surfaces, then the fine particulate matter will be deposited on the coatings and objects in an even, thin layer.
In addition, during cleaning there is an opportunity to find bed bugs' nests hidden in remote areas.
The main activities that are carried out in this case:
- move large furniture farther from the walls (it is enough to move the bed sofa, cabinets, chairs and bedside tables by 10-20 cm);
- open up access to baseboards throughout the room;
- They take pictures, photographs, clocks off the walls;
- turn off the electricity at the switchboard (at the entrance to the apartment or in the entryway);
- prepare tightly sealed bags for personal belongings that cannot be handled;
- textiles should be washed, because insect eggs could also be left on the fabric (females of bedworms make clutches in the most unexpected places, not always in the nests).
When treating with Zonder bedbug repellent there should be no people in the room, especially children, allergic people. Take out the aquarium, plants and remove animals.
You can use Zonder as a means of controlling other insect parasites
The drug is often used against bedbugs, fleas, mites. bloodsuckers. However, its composition includes insecticides of universal action, destroying pests of different species: synanthropic, street pests. Zonder eliminates bed bugs and other crawling insects, as well as flying insects (wasps, flies, etc.). And for each species it is offered to prepare a working solution based on the product with different proportions.
This will allow you to get the best results.

The drug costs more than many analogues. It can be ordered through an online store, it is more difficult to find the product in offline outlets (hardware stores). Some price suggestions are presented in the table below:
In the regions (Yekaterinburg, Perm, Nizhny Novgorod and other cities) it is much harder to find Zonder anti-bug medication. You have to look for it through online stores. Most often, delivery to other cities is from Moscow.
Advantages and disadvantages
Positive qualities of Zonder:

The disadvantages are few. They note the high cost. The drug, produced in a bottle of small volume, is more expensive than analogues in a large package. Other disadvantages of using the drug:
- you need to use the product twice, which complicates the disinfestation procedure;

Instructions for use
Application of Zonder requires the need to strictly follow the manufacturer's recommendations. The main stages of treatment:
- The room is prepared (peculiarities of this process are described above). This step should not be skipped, because it provides 50% treatment efficiency.
- The working solution is prepared.
- Treatment of the object (all or only the infected rooms) is performed.
- After you have finished spraying, you should also do some cleaning. However, there are a number of things to keep in mind when doing this.
How to prepare a working solution
Conditions under which components can be mixed:
- the air temperature is above +10°C;
- You need to constantly stir the solution to get a substance of uniform consistency;
- mix Zonder only with water without additives.
It is equally important to adhere to the proportions recommended by the manufacturer. So, to kill bed bugs, take 5-15 ml per 1 liter of water. The fewer parasites are in the house, the more the volume of the concentrate is reduced. For comparison, if the infestation is intense, you should take the maximum allowable amount of poisoning agent - 15 ml. Determine that there are a lot of bedbugs, you can tell from a number of signs:
- strong unpleasant odor, can be felt at the entrance to the apartment;
- dark marks on upholstered furniture - black dots that merge to form larger stains;
- nests of bed bugs are found inside the sleeping quarters;
- there are a lot of marks on the body in the morning.
How to treat the room
It is recommended to study the extended instructions for use, the label shows an abbreviated one. When the working solution is ready, it can be delivered to the work surfaces in various ways:
- sprayed with a sprayer, the principle of action of the spray is similar to the way the aerosol works - in both cases microdroplets are released, which quickly settle down, and when the parasite crawls over this area, it will receive a dose of poison;
- applied with a rag, sponge or brush - a more complicated method, because it does not allow you to evenly spray the substance, in addition, the procedure will take longer.
Areas to be treated:
- bed and sofa where people sleep;
- floor and walls (to a level of 1-1.5 m);
- plinths;
- interior items;
- window sills;
- on the perimeter of the outlets and switches;
- bedside tables, chests of drawers, closets - backs and insides.
Activities after disinsection
It is equally important to finish the treatment correctly. For example, if an aggressive agent is used, you need to wait a few hours, you should not stay on the treated object during this time. On your return, ventilate the room. You need to open wide the windows and doors. Through ventilation will quickly reduce the concentration of insecticides in the air. Next steps:
- a little cleaning is done - some coatings are cleaned from the poison, using a soapy solution, it is acceptable to replace it with a baking soda (alkali destroys the poison);
- After 2-4 weeks you can perform a general cleaning, but in hidden areas (under cabinets, behind them, etc.) the insecticide film should not be removed because the drug is characterized by prolonged action.

How safe is Zonder bedbug repellent for people and pets
The drug belongs to hazard classes 2 and 3 (depending on how the poisonous substance enters the human body). Thus, the risk of complications increases if the insecticide enters the respiratory or digestive tract. When the drug is quickly washed off the external covers, it does not cause any harm, especially if there are no injuries on the skin.
Is there an odor from the preparation from bed bugs Zonder, how strong it is, how quickly it evaporates?
The product exudes a fairly strong odor, which quickly disappears. The concentration of volatile substances decreases when the room is ventilated.
However, the odor will still be felt because a thin insecticide film will remain on the surfaces in the room. It contributes to the appearance of this trait.
