Composition and release forms
The drug Get for bedbugs is available in 100 ml bottles. The concentrated, white or slightly pinkish liquid consists of one type of toxic substance - chlorpyrifis. The top of the neck is covered with metal foil with the letter G in a figured frame. The name of the remedy for bedbugs is written in Latin font: Get total.
The concentration of chlorpyrifis in the original packaging is 5%. It is recommended to shake the bottle thoroughly before use. When opening the bottle, a faint aroma of orange alcohol tincture appears due to the added fragrance. The toxic substance itself is enclosed in polymer microcapsules, the integrity of which is disrupted upon contact with the pest.
Capsules up to 20 microns in size cannot be distinguished with the naked eye. Therefore, the liquid in the bubble appears uniform. The substance is heavier than water by weight. To ensure the effectiveness of the treatment, the bottle should be shaken vigorously several times before diluting with water.
On a note! To destroy 1 bug, one microcapsule of Get is enough, of which only 1 ml contains about 750 pieces.
The anti-bedbug suspension Get is used to combat bed parasites that prevent people from getting a good night's rest. The drug acts against adult insects, for which it is enough to wait 20-30 minutes. Pest eggs are also destroyed when a toxic substance gets on the masonry. The process of egg death continues for up to 3 hours.
After treatment, no traces of Get remain on wooden parts of furniture, upholstery, wallpaper, plastic, or tiles. The water base dries and the microcapsules are small enough to be noticeable.
First aid for poisoning
Poisoning is unlikely; the mixture is practically harmless. But if toxicity suddenly occurs, it is necessary to provide medical assistance:
- Give a liquid to drink , in this case, water with a weak composition of potassium permanganate.
- Induce vomiting.
- Take activated carbon according to the dosage: one tablet per 10 kilograms of weight.
If necessary, call a doctor or ambulance.
Mechanism of action on insects
When the substance is sprayed over the habitats of bedbugs, heavy capsules with poison settle on the treated surface, covering it with a dense layer. The shell gradually breaks down, releasing chlorpyrifis. The poison enters the respiratory system of pests, causing paralysis of surrounding organs. Bedbugs carry particles of the substance on their legs to the nest, where they poison their relatives. Also, the capsules are glued to the chitinous cover of pests, where Get against bedbugs begins a paralytic effect from the outside.
Places where insects accumulate are detected by traces of their vital activity. More often, the wooden interior surfaces of furniture are covered with numerous dark specks. Bedbugs can be found in the folds of the seams on the mattress, under peeled parts of the wallpaper. It is recommended to apply the toxic suspension to the following places:
- in the cracks under the baseboards around the entire perimeter of the apartment;
- treat the back of the furniture, moving it away from the wall;
- remove and spray wall decorations, paintings, clocks with the solution;
- the bed, sofa, chairs must be disassembled in order to treat all inaccessible places;
- pay attention to the floor, the area behind the heating radiators, and walls.
Important! The poison must reach all possible locations where pests are located. At the same time, most of the poison is carried by the bugs themselves on their legs.
Duration of action
The poison against bedbugs Get is packaged in microscopic capsules that float in an aqueous solution. The boxes do not open simultaneously, but over a period of up to 180 days. The prolonged action and the inability to survive upon contact with the substance makes the poison effective for the complete destruction of bedbugs inhabiting the apartment.
After spraying the product, the capsules fall to the floor, covering it with a continuous layer. The boxes crack when insects touch them. Young individuals hatched from eggs die upon contact with poison.
What does this popular product consist of?
GET is based on a five percent concentration of crystalline chlorpyrifos. It is not considered uncommon among broad-spectrum insecticides. At the creation stage, the component is placed in microcapsules (read about the use of microencapsulated drugs against bedbugs in a separate article). They are not visible to the human eye, but they effectively serve their purpose.
Sold as a white, opaque suspension with hints of pink. It is quite convenient to apply it to potential “shelters” of arthropods. By the way, this should be reported separately.
Efficiency
The first result after using Get bedbug repellent is noticeable after a day. Bedbug attacks at night practically stop, but in order to completely eliminate the population, the substance must destroy the eggs and the beetles that survived the treatment.
You can calculate how much money will be needed to eliminate all insects using the classification of home infestation by parasites:
- In the morning, bite marks were noticed on the skin, but no bedbugs were found during the inspection of the room. This is the first stage. To treat an average apartment of 1-2 rooms, 1 bottle of the product is enough.
- Bite marks cover 1/4 of the body, but no bedbugs are visible upon a superficial examination. It is recommended to increase the dose of the substance (3 bottles are enough for a 3-4 room standard apartment).
- A person constantly wakes up bitten. Upon examination, signs of insect life are revealed. Neighbors can't find pests either. This is the third degree of infection, in which a thorough treatment with Get should be carried out, using a bottle for each room.
- Bedbugs are detected during a thorough examination; the use of toxic substances gives temporary results. The fourth stage, when the use of other means causes the insects to become accustomed to the poison. As a result, insects become immune to the poison. It is recommended to treat the apartment with a high concentration of the substance Get, which is not addictive.
Important! A greater effect is achieved after simultaneous disinfestation of the neighbors’ apartment. This prevents the development of immunity in surviving insects to the toxic substance.

The price, of course, is not small, but the effect amazed me. Literally a few days later, dead insects began to be detected. A week later there was no trace of them left. The children are healthy, no one was hurt.”
- “I decided to buy Get because I tried a lot of other products, there was no effect. Let me note right away that there was a smell, and quite unpleasant. But on the second day I found the first victims. Three weeks passed, I didn’t see any live cockroaches anymore, which I’m very happy about.”

Reviews of the poison
- This is a miracle remedy! I never thought that the problem of bedbugs in the house could affect me, but it happened. At one “wonderful” moment I felt all the hardships and problems that these “neighbors” caused. The task was to remove bedbugs as quickly as possible. To be honest, I didn’t really believe that the Get product would work, but I soon realized that I had made the right choice. I found information about him on the Internet. Thanks to this product, bedbugs disappeared from my house very quickly! Many thanks to the manufacturers of this miraculous remedy.
- The bugs crawled to us from our neighbors through an electrical outlet and settled in the sofa. We had never seen these insects before, but when we started finding them in the sofa and examined them, studying photos on the Internet, we realized that they were bedbugs. We tried to remove it using cheap means, but my husband poured literally three bottles on the sofa, so much so that he soaked it almost through. We left for a few days, but our flatmates in the other room were simply suffocating from the smell of these products. When we returned, we saw literally a couple of dead bedbugs. We learned about the Get product and decided to try it. For a room of 14 sq. I used half the bottle. A huge plus is that there is almost no smell. Over the next days after treatment, I saw literally one still living bug. As stated in the instructions, in two weeks they died out completely, re-infecting each other, and for three months now we have been living a happy life without bedbugs!
- This is 100% salvation from bedbugs! I had never seen them before and didn’t think that they could crawl into a clean apartment away from their neighbors and settle in. For a long time I thought that an allergy appeared on my body, although it turned out that it was bedbug bites. When I found where they settled, it was a shock! And they lived in the cracks of the sofa, there was a lot of dirt, blackheads and dead insects. A friend advised me to call a team of exterminators, but I was afraid that the smell from the products they used would remain in the apartment forever. I took a risk and bought the Get product. I processed it myself according to the instructions, wearing a mask and gloves. The bedbugs completely disappeared after two weeks and never appeared again! Although after a month, and then after another three months, I treated my room again for prevention, since the product still remained.

He looked at the sofa and hit the table with his fist: “Come on, to hell with everything from here!” The bugs are frightened and head out the door in a chain. Only the smallest one constantly looks back from behind. The guy sobered up from such a picture and started laughing. The smallest bug, joyfully: - Guys! Let's go back, he was joking!

A complicated procedure for preparing an insect poisoning agent is not required: the drug should only be diluted with water in accordance with the instructions.
