Bedbug executioner - a popular German remedy for bedbugs

Bed bugs are parasitic insects for which the human home is one of the most favorite habitats.

Bedbugs can live on bedding, upholstery, and underwear. The described blood-sucking insects are extremely dangerous for humans: their bites are very painful; bedbugs often carry infections; may harm pets. In addition, insects spoil bedding, leaving their waste products on it.

The remedy for bedbugs “Executioner” is an effective and safe insecticide that will expel not only bedbugs, but also cockroaches, ants and other unwanted “neighbors” from your home.

Remedy for bedbugs Executioner

The remedy for bedbugs “Executioner” is quite popular in Russia. This is an effective medicine for killing bedbugs. It appeared in 2013. Manufacturer of insecticide from Germany. Due to widespread advertising, the product quickly became famous. And there are many positive reviews on the Internet about the drugs from this line. But any fame has a downside. Counterfeits have appeared on the market.

Therefore, we recommend that when purchasing, you be very careful about information about who produced this product and whether the manufacturer is an official distributor. The fact is that the main active ingredient in this product is a very strong poison, and the formula of the drug assumes its high concentration. Ask how dangerous it is to use the Executioner product. If you buy products from an unknown and uncertified manufacturer or a Chinese counterfeit, then you risk the health of yourself, your children, elderly relatives, pets and, especially if you have birds in the house.

Cost of poison

Affordable cost is one of the reasons for the popularity of “Executioner”. It is noteworthy that the more poison the buyer purchases, the lower the cost of each individual container. And since comprehensive control of bedbugs together with neighbors in the stairwell is considered the most effective, you can cooperate with them even before the start of disinfestation - at the time of purchasing the chemical. The table will tell you how much you can save on such a purchase.

Table - Cost of the product wholesale (data as of January 2018)

Number of containers, pieces	Total price, rubles	Price of one container, rubles
30	2000	67
60	3500	58
100	5500	55

The retail cost of one bottle is 70 rubles.

Despite the popularity of the product on the Internet, purchasing the chemical on the domestic market is not so easy. You can get it, but it’s not a fact that the poison you buy won’t turn out to be a fake. Russian importers of the German product buy the insecticide in Germany in large containers, and then package it in small bottles. The reason for secondary packaging is simple: it is much more profitable to sell in miniature containers than in large canisters.

If there are birds in the house, they will have to be given to neighbors or relatives while fighting bedbugs. Parrots and canaries can return to the family nest only a week after secondary treatment. And if the pet usually moves freely around the house, then for the first two weeks after the “move” you should not let it out of the cage.

Composition and release forms

The main active ingredient Fenthion is 27.5% in the Executioner product. It also contains antioxidants, stabilizer, fragrance, surfactants and solvents. The range of insects that “Executioner” helps against is very wide. It includes synanthropic arthropods such as red, black and American cockroaches, bed bugs, rat fleas, red house ants, adults and larvae of flies, mosquito larvae, crickets, silverfish, and spiders. Upon contact with the Executioner product, the death of the insect occurs within a few minutes, and the residual effect of the poison ranges from 6 to 12 days, depending on what arthropod you are fighting.

According to the acute toxicity rating scale in Russia, when administered into the stomach, the products belong to the third class of moderately hazardous substances, and when applied to the skin, to the fourth class of low-hazardous substances. Vapors of the product in saturated concentrations belong to the second hazard class in terms of volatility. With a single exposure, “Executioner” has an irritating effect on the skin, and a particularly pronounced irritating effect on the eyes.

The German remedy “Executioner” is available in the form of a powder that dissolves in water. One bottle should be mixed with half a liter of water.

Effect of the drug on bedbug eggs

In order to kill an insect, direct contact with the toxic substance and inhalation must occur. This is possible in an adult bedbug and larvae, and the insect eggs are reliably protected by a biological capsule. This durable shell is impermeable to poisons.

But particles of the drug remain on the egg capsule. Immediately after birth, the bug can become infected and die. The drug Executioner retains its activity for about a month.

Then it is gradually neutralized under the influence of sunlight and fresh air. Destruction of a colony of bedbugs can occur within 2 weeks. The treatment is repeated in case of severe infection.

How does the Bedbug Executioner work?

Executioner is effective as an insecticide and is moderately toxic to mammals and highly toxic to birds. However, before ordering this poison, ask yourself whether it is an absolute panacea for predatory bugs.

Fenthion is one of a class of insecticides called organophosphates. These chemicals work by interfering with the activity of cholinesterase, an enzyme that is essential for the proper functioning of the nervous system in humans and insects.

As a contact and stomach insecticide, Fenthion was previously widely used in the United States to control intestinal worms. It now no longer has FDA approval due to excess poisoning deaths.

How to apply poison to treated surfaces

To treat furniture, floors, ceilings and walls in the house with the Executioner preparation, it is better to use a spray bottle or a special attachment for spray bottles. If you don’t have such a tool, you can use a regular clothes brush (after applying the poison, it’s better to throw it away, first packing it in a sealed bag).

In addition, you can make an improvised sprayer yourself as follows:

take a plastic bottle with a volume of 1.5-2 liters; fill the container with a solution of a toxic chemical, using all precautions; We make several holes in the bottle cap. A red-hot nail can be used for this purpose; close the container and spray the product by pressing on the bottle.

Instructions for use of the Executioner

We recommend that you carefully study the instructions for use of the Executioner. Although the base active ingredient Fenthion is mildly toxic if ingested, inhaled, or absorbed through the skin, it is still important to understand that it affects the central nervous, cardiovascular, and respiratory systems and may irritate the eyes and mucous membranes.

Like all organophosphates, Fenthion is easily absorbed through the skin. If the substance splashes on you, you should immediately wash it off with soap and water. By the way, the clothes in which you carried out the baiting process must be washed and rinsed thoroughly many times. While symptoms of poisoning may be delayed in animals, in cases of poisoning in humans, symptoms usually appear immediately.
Of course, the German household remedy "Executioner" should kill only insects, but you must exercise extreme caution, because there are known cases of death of people with allergies associated with respiratory failure. There are several known cases of intentional or accidental human poisoning through ingestion or skin contact. People with respiratory disease, recent exposure to cholinesterase inhibitors or impaired cholinesterase production, or impaired liver function may be at increased risk of exposure to the substances in Executioner.
Organophosphate insecticides are cholinesterase inhibitors. They are highly toxic through all routes of exposure. If inhaled, the first effects are usually respiratory and may include a runny nose or cough, chest discomfort, difficulty breathing, and wheezing due to narrowing or excess fluid in the bronchi. Skin contact with organophosphates may cause local sweating and involuntary muscle contractions. Contact with the eyes will cause pain, bleeding, tears, constriction of the pupil and blurred vision.

Following exposure by any route, systemic effects may begin within minutes or be delayed for up to 12 hours. Signs of poisoning: paleness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramps, headache, dizziness, eye pain, blurred vision, constriction or dilation of the pupils of the eye, tears, salivation, sweating, and confusion.
Severe poisoning affects the central nervous system, causing incoordination, slurred speech, loss of reflexes, weakness, fatigue, involuntary muscle contractions, twitching, tremors of the tongue or eyelids, and ultimately paralysis of the body's limbs and respiratory muscles.
In severe cases, there may also be involuntary bowel movements or urination, psychosis, irregular heartbeats, loss of consciousness, seizures and coma.

Very important!

Death may be caused by respiratory failure or cardiac arrest.

Actions in case of poisoning

Executioner is not a highly toxic drug in humans, but in some cases individual reactions to this drug are possible. The following signs of poisoning should alert you:

inhibition of reactions and actions;
increased salivation;
vomit;
difficulty breathing.

If you experience such symptoms, you should immediately consult a doctor and bring the package of the drug with you. It is better not to take any medications, so as not to blur the clinical picture. This will prevent the doctor from making a correct diagnosis.

To exclude such situations, the manufacturer advises not to treat the room for more than 2 hours in a row, and to use personal protective equipment when working.

Carolina, Astrakhan region:
“The bugs bit the infant. Our young grandmother did not find bedbugs, she didn’t even see them, but my great-grandmother found them in my husband’s and my bed, on the sofa. But only our little one gets bites. Probably the skin is delicate. We threw everything out of the crib and bought a new mattress. The doctor advised him to treat everything in the house with the Executioner. I didn't like the smell - it was all kerosene. But it fades quickly. There are no more bites, everything has calmed down.”

Safety precautions when using the Executioner

When using the products, please note:

Before diluting bedbug killer, read the instructions
Chemicals should be kept out of the reach of children
Follow instructions for use, warnings
Prolonged indoor use should be avoided
In kitchens it is better to use passive agents (baits).
Remove or cover aquariums, bird cages and food items before spraying.

If a larger pest infestation is detected, professional help is needed. This should especially be considered for problems with bed bugs, cockroaches, mice and rats.

Preparation for processing

Before disinfestation begins, all people and pets must be removed from the premises.
Pack food and utensils in plastic bags and remove from the area being treated.
Use personal protective equipment: shoes, clothes (which should be washed immediately after treatment), rubber gloves, a respirator, safety glasses and a hat.
It is also necessary to remember about personal hygiene; it is prohibited during treatment: eating, smoking, going out into the air for at least 15 minutes every 45 minutes.
Before starting work, it is necessary to close all windows and doors - this allows you to get the greatest effect from using the drug.
Identify the places where bedbugs are most concentrated. Usually they are: beds, sofas, armchairs, carpets, baseboards, spaces behind cabinets and bedside tables, mattresses, pillows, blankets. It is advisable to move the furniture and treat the floor underneath it.
It is necessary to dilute the drug in the same container from which the treatment will subsequently be carried out. Typically a container with a spray bottle is used. The solution should be used no later than 8 hours from the moment of preparation; shake during processing.

Where to buy and how much does it cost?

The drug Executioner is sold almost everywhere. You can buy it in supermarkets in specialized departments for household goods, or in online stores.

Its cost is low, from 78 rubles. They usually offer to buy the drug in packages. 5 pieces per package cost 400 rubles, 10 pieces per package approximately costs 720 rubles. To treat a two-room apartment you will need approximately 20 bottles. Overall, it's not that cheap. But still remember the main thing: do not buy the drug in the markets and do not order through AliExpress. The penny benefit you are chasing may cost you serious health problems later.

Advantages and disadvantages of the drug

Unlike most drugs, this remedy does not cause adaptation in bedbugs and therefore no other means is required to kill them. "EXECUTIONER" has high efficiency.

It destroys insects in a short period of time and will not spoil furniture and other surfaces with stains.
It has fairly low toxicity, so the product is safe for you and your pets.
The unpleasant odor disappears in a short time.
Simplicity and ease of use.
It has a fairly low price.
By strictly following the instructions, any unpleasant consequences are excluded.
The insects die and their reappearance is practically impossible.

Disadvantages of the "EXECUTIONER" product

Like any insecticidal drug, “EXECUTIONER” also has disadvantages:

The main disadvantages include an unpleasant odor.
There is no spray bottle in the product packaging and must be purchased separately.
According to consumer reviews, the product is produced in a small container - a 5 ml bottle. It is enough to treat an area of 5m2. For an apartment of 60 m2 you will need 12 bottles.

How to distinguish a fake?

It’s very simple: read the composition of the “Executioner” product on the label. The fake Executioner product lists cypermethrin as its main active ingredient. This is a more powerful poisonous substance. It will act quickly on bedbugs, you will be satisfied, but the negative consequences on your well-being will not please you. If you see the name “Executioner Extra” made in Russia on the label, also be vigilant. This poison can be used, but it is more expensive and has a different composition.

Remember!

The protective hologram on the “Executioner” packaging is the main distinguishing feature of the original bottles.

How to dilute the product?

Executioner is a concentrated liquid for dilution with water. It doesn’t matter what the temperature is, but at room temperature the dissolution process will happen faster. One bottle (5 ml) per 500 ml of water.

Since the drug must be diluted before treatment, the required volume of solution is first calculated.

Excess toxic substance cannot be stored for a long time, it will lose its qualities. The maximum time for maintaining toxic properties after preparation is 8 hours. It is better to use the drug in the form of a spray, that is, you need to pour it into a container with a spray bottle.

Pros and cons of the product

Like any product, “Executioner” against bedbugs has two “flip sides of the coin,” so before you buy this product, dive into the problem and do some marketing.

You will have a lot of preparation and general cleaning before and after the procedure.
“Executioner” does not guarantee the death of insect larvae and eggs.

Reviews about the drug

“The bugs were incredibly annoying.
You wake up - your whole back is bitten, everything is covered in blisters. I changed the linen and washed the sofa with foam and bleach - to no avail. I bought it at the “Executioner” store just at random. I treated it as written in the instructions, and the bedbugs disappeared. I’ve been living peacefully for 3 months already.” (Vladimir Eshtrekov, 70 years old. Yoshkar-Ola). “My husband and I bought an apartment in an old building in the city center. Before that, some dubious asocial comrades lived there. It’s clear that a bug-roach has been planted. They poisoned the reptiles with the “Executioner” for two weeks. It helped. Now you can safely do repairs.” (Elena Avdeeva, 50 years old, Cherepovets).

“I met The Executioner last year. A neighbor at the dacha recommended it. She used it against flies. I treated the house in July to get rid of the infestation of annoying insects in August. In the end, I was pleased with the result; I didn’t even have to buy Velcro tape for flies.” (Nadezhda Lyange, 28 years old. Moscow).

What should you do before and after treatment?

Controlling bed bugs is a time-consuming and time-consuming task. Typically, even after repairs, cleaning and baiting, it is important to monitor for surviving bed bugs. When you use the Executioner, there is also a danger that some surviving eggs may appear, from which nymphs will hatch. This does not mean that the destruction was ineffective. As these eggs hatch, continued monitoring and subsequent destruction must be repeated. A classic chemical treatment program usually requires at least one follow-up every two weeks.

You can continue to sleep in your bed after using Executioner. But we recommend putting special sealed covers on mattresses and springs. Any surviving bed bugs in your mattress or box spring won't be able to get out to bite you. Covers also prevent bed bugs living in other parts of the room from taking up residence on the mattress or box springs.

If no significant reduction in bed bug numbers is observed after baiting, it may be necessary to consider a combination of other methods or the use of alternative pest control methods. For example, sticky traps or bed bug interceptors may be useful for several weeks after the extermination process.

The main thing is to prevent their return. First, do a complete general cleaning, thoroughly wiping, washing, washing everything. Don't miss a single corner, a single place. Then, since pests often migrate from a nearby infestation, you must deny them a “visitor visa” by carefully blocking all routes through which they enter your home.

Bedbugs enter mainly through door cracks or cracks in rooms. In some cases, even small cracks of a few millimeters in size are sufficient. As a precaution, all such access should be tightly closed and isolated.

Where to start processing

Executioner for exterminating insects
Processing procedure:

Disinfestation of the room begins with spraying the sleeping area.
After treating the outer surfaces of the sofa or bed, they are opened or turned over, providing access to the internal spring mechanisms and wooden structures. Sometimes you even have to remove or cut the fabric inside the sofa, since this is where bedbugs most often hide.
The mattress, bedding, carpets in the apartment, mirrors hanging on the walls, paintings and photographs are sprayed in a similar way.
The internal surfaces of cabinets and things stored in them are thoroughly sprayed with the Executioner solution so that they do not become a source of re-infection. Subsequently, clothes and bedding are washed.
Favorite habitats for indoor bedbugs can be folds of curtains, cracks in ventilation, under baseboards, window sills and near electrical outlets, during the treatment of which it is necessary to turn off the electricity.

The panicky state of indoor parasites can be observed even at the time of treatment. There is no point in wasting time catching them, since they will still not be able to avoid inevitable death.

How to properly poison bedbugs: step-by-step guide and tips

The apartment (house) should be put in order.
remove the debris of things, tidy up the mess, if there is one.
Move the furniture away from the walls (if possible) in order to treat the back walls, adjacent walls, baseboards, floors and various crevices.
Cabinet furniture - sofas, beds, armchairs, cabinets, cabinets - turn over in order to get to the bottom and floor underneath them.
Remove carpets, paintings, and lamps from the walls.
Carefully cover food and dishes tightly. Better yet, remove it from the premises altogether.
If you have pets, place them in another home for a day or two.
Remove children and unnecessary adults from the premises.
Turn off the electricity in your apartment or house!
Unscrew sockets and switches, because Bed bugs often choose them to live in. We need to treat it with poison there too.
Wear protective clothing.
gloves: rubber or cotton, but with a rubberized coating.
sealed safety glasses.
respirator or gas mask.
preferably rubber boots.
Open the windows or vents!
We pick up a spray bottle and start processing!

Where to process

It is better to start processing with large furniture: sofas, beds, cabinets.

Firstly, it is most likely that this is where bedbugs live.

And, secondly, it’s just easier: first jump around the furniture, and then calmly walk on open surfaces.

Next, don’t forget about:

all skirting boards, incl. ceiling;
reverse side of paintings, carpets;
walls, especially in places where there is loose wallpaper;
cracks in the floor;
balcony (yes, there too!). Well, of course, if it’s not winter outside!;
window frames and between frames;
ventilation grilles and, as far as possible, ducts;
hanging chandeliers, llamas and those lamps that were removed from the walls, floor lamps, etc.;
holes for sockets and switches (that’s exactly why it was necessary to turn off the lights throughout the apartment!);
in the bathroom (including under it), toilet.
behind the refrigerator.

Do not smoke, drink or eat under any circumstances! Don't forget that your hands and face have a coating of poison, and you don't need to bring it inside!

What to do after treatment

After disinfestation, the order is as follows:

We close the vents and windows;
We leave the premises, preferably for a day (24 hours);
We take off and shake out our protective clothing. We wash it, wash it as needed;
After 24 hours, you should clean:
You can wash only in those places that involve contact either with food or with people. Those. You can avoid washing behind cabinets, near pipes in a dark room, etc.
Carry out the entire frill with the windows and vents open.
Then ventilate the apartment (house) for 2-3 hours.
You can bring in your pets and animals.

Re-processing is usually not necessary.

But, in cases where there was a severe infestation of bedbugs or you simply carried out disinfestation poorly the first time, then it is worth carrying out all the activities again.

The bastards will definitely disappear the second time!

Why "Executioner"

According to the manufacturer of the product, this particular poison acts on bedbugs quickly and effectively.

But, of course, you and I understand that any manufacturer of anything will claim that its products are “the best.”

And in order for you to understand whether this is true about “The Executioner,” watch the short video below.

In it, a solution containing poison is sprayed onto the bug from a spray bottle. See for yourself what happens next to the bloodsucker!

The effect that kills bed bugs is achieved because the product contains an active ingredient such as Fenthion. Its mass fraction in the preparation is 27.5% ± 2.5%, and also includes a fragrance, stabilizer, antioxidant and solvent.

In scientific parlance, Executioner is an insecticide (i.e. a chemical substance whose purpose is to kill harmful insects).

It is an emulsion concentrate, a fairly transparent liquid mass, usually either colorless or slightly brownish.

Good news:

no traces of the solution remain after treatment.
and although there is a smell (somewhat reminiscent of garlic), it is not strong (at the right concentration).

How to calculate the required rate

The amount of product required for treatment is calculated depending on the area of the apartment, the degree of infestation and the number of objects where bedbugs can live.

One bottle is intended for an area of 5 m². Therefore, if the apartment has dimensions of 50 m², then 10 pieces will be required. But the localization of insects should be taken into account. If there is a lot of old furniture, then you may need to double the dosage.

Benefits of the drug Executioner

The main advantages of this tool:

Low degree of toxicity relative to the effect on humans. If the composition is prepared correctly and used according to the instructions, then no harm to the health of households and pets will occur;
Fast action and high efficiency. When using this product, the majority of insects die within 8 hours;
Convenient use. Making a working composition can be quite simple; you just need to mix the contents of the bottle in clean water in the required proportions;
Affordable price;
Convenient dosage. The product is packaged in small containers, so it is convenient to use if it is necessary to perform local treatment of areas where parasites accumulate. That is, using only one bottle, you can treat a closet or sofa, ridding it of insects;
It leaves no traces after use, the product does not leave streaks or stains on surfaces, and the smell easily dissipates the first time the apartment is ventilated.

Despite the novelty of the Executioner product on the market, many residents of our country, as well as the CIS countries, have already tried it. Consumer reviews are the most reliable source of all the required information, which is the answers to the most frequently asked questions. Therefore, you need to familiarize yourself with them separately.

In our dacha cooperative, all parasites are poisoned the old fashioned way, with vinegar or denatured alcohol. I didn’t take any risks and bought the Executioner before my vacation. Fifteen bottles were enough for a dacha with an attic and all the beds. I processed it, closed everything, went home, after 5 days I swept away a kilogram of bedbugs and the vacation passed without a single bite.

Maxim Moscow

The executioner is quite expensive. Tetrix or much cheaper. But the Executioner has no odor and after a couple of hours it loses its toxicity. When I treated the apartment with it, I was also amazed at the lack of smell. At the same time, Karbofos stinks incredibly, and the Executioner is like water. But when the bed splashed, the bedbugs ran out of him in droves. I poisoned them, and my son collected them with a vacuum cleaner.

Natalia, Pskov

The Executioner treated two apartments at the same time, mine and the neighbors. Everything was done according to the instructions. But the bedbugs disappeared from our neighbors, but not from us. More precisely, they appeared a month later. As we later learned, after processing the eggs can remain alive. We had to repeat the whole process again in our apartment. We didn't see any more bedbugs.

Andrey, St. Petersburg Read other reviews on VKontakte:

Our recommendations

1. We recommend the “Executioner” remedy for bedbugs both as a primary means of extermination and as a preventive measure. Repeated preventive treatment should be carried out no later than 5-7 days after the main treatment, reducing the consumption rate of the drug by half. Repeated treatments are required in 95% of cases.

When purchasing the “Executioner” product, beware of counterfeits, pay attention to the holographic sign, ask for accompanying documents and certificates. When choosing between a Russian manufacturer or a German one, we recommend giving preference in choosing the drug “Executioner” to the German manufacturer, as it is more effective
