There are times when no folk remedies help get rid of annoying insects in the country. The summer resident is already mentally prepared for chemistry, but does not want to try everything, but wants to choose a “reinforced concrete” option that works (process it once and forget).

Silverfish in the apartment
How to treat an apple tree against ants
For many, this will probably be a revelation, but recently, with a large (multiple) gap from other insecticidal agents, the drug “Tsifoks” is gaining real popularity. It is not for nothing that it has been adopted en masse by exterminators who, for money, rid premises and areas of insects.
Using Tsifoks for plants
In everyday life, with the help of Tsifoks you can eliminate pests, both on house flowers and on plants in summer cottages. Treatment of grass and flower beds against ticks, midges and ants is especially effective in early spring. The lawn can be used after the product has completely dried on the grass.
In summer cottages, you can spray flowering trees and shrubs, thus getting rid of aphids, spiders, midges, spider mites and other midges. Depending on the type of pest, the emulsion is sprayed on trunks, branches and root parts. In vegetable gardens and household plots, it is better to carry out the procedure in spring or early summer, when the harvest is still far away. And although Tsifox does not penetrate inside plants, it is not advisable to carry out treatment near crops used for food, but if this cannot be avoided, vegetables, herbs or berries should be rinsed well with running water.
If parasites or insects have infested the root or basal part of the plant, watering should be done with a diluted emulsion. These methods can exterminate ants, fleas, caterpillars, and worms.
special instructions
Since Cifox is a toxic substance, some rules must be followed when working with it. Otherwise, complications arise in the form of poisoning, rashes and other reactions. This medication is not recommended for use by people who are sensitive to pesticides. It is better to move out of the apartment for a few days until the drug wears off. The following recommendations must be followed:
- Do not leave dishes or food in the room. If it is not possible to take away kitchen utensils, you should wrap them in plastic bags or cling film.
- Children's toys and clothes must be taken out of the room.
- After disinsection, if there were any fabric items left in the rooms - bedspreads, curtains, they should be washed in water at a temperature of 90-100 °C.
- Ideally, the room is de-energized, since sockets and switches must be sprayed with the product.
Instructions for use and how to dilute
The concentrated composition must be diluted with water before use.
It all depends on what insects you are going to fight. As a rule, to combat mosquitoes and midges, a solution is prepared that contains 0.01% of the active substance. To combat larger insects, a working mixture can be prepared, which will contain up to 0.3% cypermethrin. After dilution with water, the drug should be used within eight hours. After this, its effectiveness practically disappears. If the diluted product has been left on for too long, it is better to stop using it and prepare a new composition. ( Video
: “Treatment of the area from ticks and mosquitoes”)
So, to protect yourself from mosquitoes, it is recommended to dilute 5 ml of the drug (one cap) in 500 ml of water. Mix the mixture thoroughly and place it in a convenient container, such as a plastic bottle. Using a sprayer you can treat your clothes. To spray the surface of the water, land, shrubs and lawns, it is better to use a spray bottle.
Fewer bloodsuckers penetrate into a city apartment. As a rule, there are no difficulties during processing here. As for a country house, where there are ponds and many different shelters, here the fight against insects will be more difficult. So, in order to prevent the proliferation of bloodsuckers, treatment should be carried out not only in the house, but also around it. An area within a radius of up to 100 m should be treated. Spraying with the drug “Tsifoks” will not only repel, but also destroy mosquitoes.
This product also kills larvae.
To achieve maximum effectiveness in mosquito control, certain processing rules should be followed:
- mow down all unnecessary plants in your area. Such preparation will reduce the number of places where insects can hide;
- treatment with the prepared solution is carried out using a sprayer, which will allow you to apply the drug in an even layer;
- The product is used to treat bushes, grass, trees, and walls of all buildings;
- if there is a body of standing water, its surface must also be treated. This will destroy mosquito larvae.
Storage conditions
Cifox is flammable! Cifox should be stored in special warehouses in a tightly closed container, away from heating devices and fire, separately from medications and food products. The container must have a label on it indicating the name of the drug, date of manufacture, and expiration date.
The working emulsion cannot be stored and should be used within eight hours from the moment of dilution.
Information about the drug is generalized, provided for informational purposes and does not replace official instructions. Self-medication is dangerous to health!
How to prepare an apartment before treatment?
The premises must be prepared in advance for disinfestation. To do this, empty all closets of clothes and belongings. Food, children's toys, dishes, and personal belongings are placed in thick plastic bags. Mattresses are removed from beds, sofas are dismantled.
Household appliances - refrigerator, computer, TV - should be covered with film or thick cloth. It is also necessary to de-energize the apartment for the entire treatment period to avoid short circuiting the electrical wiring.
Family members and pets are removed for the entire period of disinfestation. Aquariums are tightly closed, indoor plants are taken out or covered with plastic bags.
Residents may enter the premises only after the premises have been wet cleaned and thoroughly ventilated.

- 500 ml;
You shouldn’t purchase too much, the product is quite economical
. A liter bottle is only useful for repeated processing of very large rooms or for the work of professional teams.
Important. The power of Cifox largely depends on concentration. If you only want to get rid of fleas, then you need to dilute a small amount of the product
Analogs
Russian and foreign manufacturers offer a rich arsenal of compositions for killing harmful insects. Insecticides have different toxicity classes and effectiveness. The price range is also wide. The cost of treatment depends on the concentration of the drug and the rate of consumption per square meter.
Popular analogues of the drug Cifox based on cypermethrin:
- MediLIS – CIPER.
- Sychlor.
- Fas.
- Cyradon.
- Tetracine.
- Biocyfen.
- Extermin – C.
- Cipromal.

Instructions for use of Tsifoks
The drug is presented in the form of a transparent yellowish liquid with a pungent chemical odor. After dilution, the solution becomes milky
It is important to approach the processing correctly, to prepare not only the liquid, but also the room and special clothing. This product should not be used without protective suits, respirators or face coverings, and safety glasses.
If you come into contact with the drug without protective clothing, the corrosive components of the product will lead to severe allergic reactions or even intoxication of the body.
The emulsion is applied to floors, baseboards, walls, shelves, and the backs of furniture.
It is important not to forget to treat the surfaces behind paintings, cabinets, carpets, and sofas. The liquid begins to act 10-15 minutes after treatment
As a rule, the drug copes with the task the first time - there is no need to re-treat it. 10 hours after the procedure, it is necessary to ventilate the rooms and do a thorough cleaning of the house - wash the floors, walls, wipe surfaces, bedspreads, and wash fabric coverings with a damp cloth.
Composition and release form
The drug is produced in bottles of different sizes (50, 500, 1000 ml). A bottle of 50 ml of emulsion concentrate is enough to treat a small apartment. This broad-spectrum emulsion belongs to the group of second-generation pyrethroid drugs. The liquid contains the active substance cypermethrin, which belongs to the group of pyrethroids and is found in many insecticidal medications, and various additives.
Properties of Tsifoks
The high efficiency of the solution is explained by the fact that the active substance, when it gets on an insect, penetrates the skin inside, has a nerve-paralytic effect and kills it. Even with thorough cleaning after disinfestation, the drug will continue to act on insects.
Indications for use
This solution is used when it is necessary to destroy ants, flies, ticks, bedbugs, and fleas. The drug is useful for combating ixodid ticks - the causative agents of encephalitis and borreliosis. It can be useful for head lice or scabies to eliminate lice and mites. This emulsion concentrate is used when treating subway or railway cars against arthropods and other insects. The liquid is used not only indoors - it is diluted to combat the components of midges in water bodies or to remove synanthropic insects from suburban areas.
The secret of success is in the composition
The active component of Cifox 25 is the broad-spectrum insecticide cypermethrin. The total proportion of poison is 25%. Additionally, the composition includes fragrances and emulsifiers. An analogue of the drug is Cypermethrin.
The concentrate is sold in containers of different sizes - 50, 500, 1000 ml. Immediately before use, it is necessary to prepare a solution - add the specified amount of concentrate to cold water and mix. Pour into a spray bottle or spray bottle.
Cypermethrin penetrates the mosquito's body through contact, through the respiratory system. The death of the insect occurs within 20 minutes after contact with the poison. The insecticide disrupts the functioning of the nervous system, causes muscle paralysis and death. The cost of a 50 ml bottle is 400 rubles.
On a note!
Cypermethrin is included in many domestic and foreign mosquito repellents. The drugs differ from each other in the concentration of the active component and fragrances that mask the pungent odor of the insecticide.
How to dilute the drug?
Depending on the insects that need to be eliminated, the concentration of the solution will vary and this should be taken into account when preparing. Basic principles for diluting emulsion:
- Pour a small amount of warm water into a bucket.
- Then pour out the required volume of emulsion.
- Mix the resulting mixture very well.
- Add the required amount of water and stir thoroughly again, approximately 3-5 minutes.
- The prepared solution can be stored for a maximum of 8 hours.
To obtain a concentration of 0.01%, you need to take 5 liters of water and 2 ml of Tsifox. For 0.05% 5 liters of water and 10 ml of product. For 0.1% 5 liters of water and 20 ml of the drug, respectively.
Bed bugs, once in a human home, can ruin the life of anyone who gets in their way. Of all the possible pests that can live with a person in the same living space, bedbugs are the most undesirable. This is not surprising, if cockroaches and ants feed on food waste, then bedbugs exclusively on human blood, causing, in addition to mechanical damage to the skin, also serious psychological trauma.
It is known that even prehistoric dinosaurs were bothered by bedbugs with their bites.
Today, there are many different drugs that can successfully fight bed bugs. One of the most effective means can rightfully be considered - Tsifoks. This is an insecticidal drug that allows you to get rid of bedbugs and other insect pests in the shortest possible time, however, it is worth noting that along with the advantages, there are also some disadvantages that limit the use of the insecticide at home.

- Bloch.
- Cockroaches.
- Klopov.
- Much.
- Scabies, ixodid and rat mites.

Important! Under no circumstances should you treat reservoirs intended to provide water to residential areas, as well as in protected areas.
The toxicity of the product requires handling in a protective suit and in a ventilated area.
To proceed to processing, you should prepare a working solution.
Rules for preparing the emulsion:
- The drug is diluted with water and processing begins immediately, without delay for several hours. Water can be used from any drinking source or reservoir. The solution requires thorough dissolution of the product in water. To do this, when mixing the components, you need to stir constantly for about 7 minutes.
- After preparing the emulsion, it must be poured into a special container with a sprayer (whether it is a professional sprayer such as an Automax or an aerosol generator or a small one), which is capable of evenly covering the surfaces with the insecticide.
- To kill insects indoors, it is recommended to pour the emulsion into a special container capable of spewing droplets with a diameter of about 150-300 microns.
- To process large open areas, it is advisable to install the device on a car. A prerequisite for the sprayer: drops with a diameter of 25-155 microns.
- Fine-droplet sprays are commonly used to poison mosquitoes. To do this, make a solution with the drug in diesel or other oil in a ratio of 1:1-10, respectively. 400 ml of product is enough to treat 1 hectare.
Important! Be careful not to exceed the recommended dose per area.

The disadvantages include the following:
Rules for carrying out Tsifoks treatment indoors
To safely treat a room from unwanted insects, you need to remember some important rules:
- Carry out wet cleaning in the room.
- Place food and medicines out of reach of the sprayed solution.
- Prepare a container for the finished mixture and a sprayer. Ideally, a special spraying apparatus would be suitable.
- Take care of the personal safety of the person carrying out the processing. He must wear closed clothing, shoes, a scarf, gloves, and a respirator for breathing safety. After the event, you must take a hygienic shower, wash used clothes, and clean your shoes.
- During the event, be sure to ventilate the room.
- Do not eat, drink or smoke in the treatment area.
- 12 hours after the work, wash the room with warm water.
For chemical treatment, you can use a regular sprayer.
Preparation of a solution for the destruction of ixodid ticks
To prepare a solution against ixodid ticks, you need to dilute 5 ml of concentrated emulsion in 1–2 liters of water. The volume of the finished solution is calculated per 1 hectare of the area surface. The rules for preparing the solution are described above.
Rules for processing a land plot
To effectively treat an open area against ticks, you must adhere to the following rules:
Treat the area twice per season: in early spring before planting seedlings (April - early May) and in late autumn after harvesting (late October - November). Choose a dry, warm, windless day. In such weather, ticks are on the surface, making them easier to destroy. Ideally, three days before treatment and three days after it there will be no precipitation in the form of rain or snow. If it rains immediately after using chemicals, the poisons will be washed away and the result will be zero. So check the weather forecast. Perform the treatment no later than 40 days before harvesting. This is necessary so that the chemicals that fall on garden crops have time to be neutralized by rain, watering and plant activity. The danger of poisoning and severe intoxication of the body is high during the first month after treatment. Before the procedure, also remove garden furniture and equipment. On the day of the procedure, exclude children and pets from the area. Don't forget to take care of yourself too. Over the main closed clothing, put on a robe or a special protective suit, a scarf, gloves, and put on high boots or closed shoes. Protect your breathing with a respirator. After work, wash your clothes, shine your shoes and take a hygienic shower. Avoid chemicals getting into water, especially drinking water.
Enter the territory without protection after 3 days. Pay special attention to garden paths, recreation areas and areas near the entrance to the room. Spray any shrubs and trees no more than 1.5 meters high
The above makes no sense: there are no ticks there.
Among the most popular drugs designed to protect against mosquitoes, the product “” deserves special attention. This product is an amazing combination of affordable price and incredible efficiency. The drug is able to fight not only mosquitoes, but also other blood-sucking insects. The product is intended for protection not only indoors, but also outdoors.

Destruction of ants, scabies mites, fleas, bedbugs
The drug shows excellent results in the fight against small parasites. Along with the adults, the larvae and even the eggs die. To combat scabies mites, bedbugs, fleas and ants, it is recommended to use a 0.1 percent solution. After the diluted composition has infused for several minutes, you can begin processing:
- use a regular brush, which is used to treat smooth floor surfaces. The product must also be applied to the wall, to a height of up to 1.5 meters from the floor;

Who is Cifox fighting?
To combat ants, bedbugs, and ticks, Tsifox is used according to the following scheme. It is necessary to prepare a solution with a concentration of 0.05% and directly treat the room and places where parasites accumulate. A sprayer is used for processing. It is necessary to thoroughly treat the infected areas with the solution and leave for 12 hours. After this time has elapsed, the remaining product must be removed with water or detergent.
To kill cockroaches, prepare a solution with a concentration of 0.1% and spray it in the room. To process 1 sq. m, only 50 ml of solution is enough.
To defeat flies, just spray a solution of water plus Tsifox at a concentration of 0.1%
Pay special attention to the treatment of accumulation areas: toilet, trash cans, kitchen. It is best to carry out processing in the summer
One procedure will be enough to notice the result. Use 100 ml of solution per 1 sq. m regardless of whether spraying is carried out outdoors or indoors.
To eliminate mosquitoes in open areas, Tsifox is used with a concentration of 0.01%. Use near water bodies is permitted if industrial fish farming is not carried out there. The drug is consumed at 100 ml per 1 sq. m. m of treated area.
Advice! Despite the fact that the emulsion is not particularly toxic to humans, any processing must be carried out in protective clothing, goggles and a respirator. This will help protect the body from released vapors and prevent allergic reactions.
Price
The drug Tsifoks has an acceptable cost. The low concentration of the working solution (range from 0.01 to 0.1%) explains the economical consumption of the insecticidal and acaricidal agent.
The cost depends on the volume of the product:
- 50 ml – 180 rubles.
- 500 ml – 950 rubles.
- 1000 ml – 1400 rubles.

Description of the drug
In the bottle, tsifox looks like a liquid with a yellowish tint and a strong specific odor. When diluted, the solution loses its transparency and acquires a white milky color. The drug is almost invisible on the surface after drying, which cannot be said about its smell. The persistent aroma persists for a long time after treatment and it is better to leave the room for a day so as not to inadvertently get poisoned.
The product is usually sold in transparent plastic bottles of 50, 500 and 1000 ml. If you have to treat a one- or two-room apartment, then it is more advisable to buy a small 50 ml bottle. This is quite enough for 1-2 disinsections.
The active ingredient of Cifox is cypermethrin. This is a broad-spectrum insecticide belonging to the second generation pyrethroids. In addition to Cifox, this substance is contained in many other insecticides, for example, in Cucarache, the use of which can be read in the article:
The Zifox bottle contains a 25% solution of cypermethrin. When ingested by arthropods, it paralyzes the nervous system, which leads to the death of insects.
Tsifox helps not only against bedbugs. With its help you can get rid of fleas, cockroaches, midges, flies, ticks, lice and garden pests.
Most often, Tsifox is sold in bottles of 50 and 500 ml
The prepared solution cannot be stored. In this form, tsifox quickly loses its activity, and it must be used no later than 8 hours after dilution.
How to breed?
So, how to breed tsifoks from bedbugs? According to the instructions developed by the Research Institute of Disinfectology of Rospotrebnadzor, the drug is mixed with cold water in the following proportions:
- if the room is heavily infested with insects, take 2 ml of the product per 1 liter of water;
- when the population of bloodsuckers is small, 0.4 ml of insecticide is dissolved in 1 liter.
In the first case, a 0.05% solution is obtained, which acts for a long time after application - 3-4 months. One 50 ml bottle is enough to prepare 25 liters of the composition. This is a lot for treating an apartment, so it is more advisable to use half a bottle - 25 ml per 12.5 liters of water.
The second method can be used when the apartment is infested with insects only slightly. In this case, 4 ml of the drug is taken per 10 liters of water. The result is a 0.01% solution. At this dosage, Tsifox protects against bedbugs for a month.
When diluting, the following precautions must be observed:
- use gloves and protective clothing;
- keep the bottle with the drug low from the surface of the water to avoid splashing and splashing of the product;
- Wear special glasses to protect your eyes;
- Cover your mouth and nose with a respirator.
After pouring the product into water, the solution is stirred for 5 minutes. and pour into a spray bottle.
