"Regent" for cockroaches: reviews, instructions for use and effectiveness

Composition and release form

This powerful poison is based on fipronil. Additional components are permethrin (15%) and chlorophos (10%). The active substance poisons insects from the inside when they consume the solution. It enters through the chitinous cover after contact of the pest with the treated area.

As reviews show, “Regent” for cockroaches can be purchased in household chemical stores, garden departments, and vegetable gardens. The product is sold in 2 forms - bags of granules and ampoules. The room must be treated after creating the solution: ampoules or granules are mixed with warm water. The concentration of the prepared product is determined by the level of infection of the room or residential building: the more pests, the less liquid is required. The solution gets rid of even large populations of pests.

Prevention

Cleanliness in the apartment is the best way to avoid the reappearance of cockroaches. Daily cleaning, timely elimination of leaks and throwing away garbage are the basics of prevention. Moisture-loving insects need access to water; if they are deprived of it, they will consider the room unsuitable for living.

It is recommended to postpone watering the plants to the daytime, when the Prussians are passive. It is necessary to exclude access to food, especially wet ones. Don't forget that plastic bags are not a barrier for cockroaches.

Action

Taking into account the reviews, “Regent 800” against cockroaches is effective in large and small areas of the room. Exterminators use the composition for apartments, private houses, and industrial facilities. "Regent" has 2 types of effects on black and red cockroaches:

Contact. Pests crawl over the treated areas, the product penetrates inside with the help of the chitinous cover, the particles remain on the paws and antennae. Insects do not die instantly, the effect of the poison is slow, but the result will appear. Another advantage of contact exposure is the transfer of the chemical into the nest by the individual, which causes other cockroaches to become infected. As a result, population extinction occurs.
Intestinal. The insect swallows the solution, the poison spreads through the hemolymph. This leads to disruption of nervous regulation, resulting in paralysis and death. The drug acts quickly: death occurs 20-60 minutes after application of the composition.

Reviews

Most owners prefer this drug. Regent 800 acts actively, destroying not only the “barbels” crawling into visible places, but also other members of the population in the nest. The contact-intestinal action plus the combination of three active components explain almost 100% of the results after treating the apartment.

Reviews of the powder and concentrated emulsion are most often positive. Some owners are not happy that harmful insects die after a few days. Some drugs, for example, cockroach chalk Mashenka, act almost instantly, but Regent has a prolonged effect: individuals infect all members of the population, and all insects gradually die. A positive result still appears.

When infested by cockroaches, professional exterminators recommend the contact-intestinal insecticide Regent 800. The combined agent of the second class of toxicity has proven reliable and effective in exterminating populations of mustachioed pests. The effect occurs after a few days; repeated treatment is often required, but if the disinfestation rules are strictly followed, a positive result is guaranteed.

Average price, where to buy

The advantage of the drug is its availability. Manufacturers package the substance in packages of different sizes. This makes it possible to purchase the product in the quantity necessary to treat the premises at minimal cost.

So for bags with 0.5 g of the substance you will have to pay from 15 to 25 rubles. A package of emulsion or an ampoule can be purchased for 60-70 rubles.

Inna, Orel:
“I got cockroaches. I can't stand it! I go into the kitchen, preparing for battle. I started researching how I could get rid of them. I didn’t want to pay a lot for chemicals, but I wanted it to be reliable. I found out about Regent, read the reviews, and bought it. Well, in general, there is a result, there are no cockroaches!”

Considering that Regent 800 gives good results when used in agricultural areas, helping to get rid of ants, Colorado potato beetles and other pests, French manufacturers produce packages of 100 g granules.

Such a bottle of the drug is more expensive (from 2800 to 3700 rubles), but it saves the owner of a summer cottage from constantly replenishing the supply of the substance.

Buyers do not have to search for a long time for the necessary product. Regent 800 is easy to buy in hardware stores, as well as on the websites of various online resources.

Minuses

But as buyers confirm, the product also has disadvantages. The drug has class 2 toxicity, so it must be handled with care. And this applies to powder and emulsion. During disinfection, people must leave the premises.

Disadvantages include long-term destruction of pest populations. This does not happen instantly, but over several days. During this time, the cockroaches should receive the dose and die.

Instructions

It is necessary to kill cockroaches, acting strictly according to the instructions. This will allow you to get the desired result without undesirable consequences.

Prepare premises for treatment

Before diluting the product, you should wet clean the room (the drug is applied to surfaces that are free of dust and food particles), remove food, clothing, and toys from open access.

Furniture must be moved away from the walls, providing access to its walls and baseboards. Windows, vents and doors in the room being treated must be closed.

Preparation of an aqueous solution

When starting to treat rooms, it is necessary to dilute the powder or ampoules, observing the previously specified proportions.

Room treatment

During the treatment process, an aqueous solution is sprayed onto the back walls of furniture, baseboards, doors, window sills, and floors. The distance between the sprayer and the surface to be treated must be at least 20 cm.

Effect of the drug

For the product to work, leave the room closed for 2-3 hours.

Preparing the premises for occupancy

After waiting 2 to 3 hours, you can carry out work that will allow you to safely stay in the treated room. The room needs to be ventilated, surfaces (countertops, window sills, doors, floors) should be washed with soapy water.

After this, staying in the treated room will not cause harm to the person.

Peculiarities

According to reviews, the concentration of the solution is not indicated on the Regent cockroach remedy. The owners in practice have determined how many granules or powder are needed for different levels of contamination of the room.

Helpful information:

For initial treatment, it is better to take 1 sachet or ampoule, which is diluted in warm water (250 ml).
For a secondary procedure or for prevention, the concentration is lower - 1 sachet or ampoule is required for 1-2 liters of water.

A strong solution improves the effectiveness of disinfestation. For repeated treatment, you do not need to prepare a product of the same concentration as for the first: the effect of the drug is not over yet, you just need to consolidate the result.

Terms of use

According to reviews, “Regent” against cockroaches is easy to use. You must follow simple rules:

There should be no animals in the premises.
It is necessary to remove food, close windows, and protect items that can absorb product vapors. Indoor plants should also be taken to another room.
Since Regent is toxic, you need to use protective equipment. Before the procedure, put on old clothes with long sleeves, a respirator or medical mask, and rubber gloves. Clear plastic glasses are required for the eyes.
Then you need to dilute the ampoule or granules according to the instructions, create a solution of the required concentration. The milky white liquid is poured into a spray bottle to make it more convenient to treat all areas of the room.
You can spray the product on areas where pests live. The floor, baseboards, cracks, window sills, areas near sewer pipes, and the area under the bathtub must be treated. The solution is applied near the trash can, sink, cabinets, and furniture.
After this, you need to thoroughly wash your hands, take off your suit, rinse your mouth, and wash your face.
You need to leave the premises, and you can return after 1.5-2 hours. Ventilation is necessary. The composition has no odor, but toxic components can be in the air, which can lead to allergies, headaches, and respiratory tract damage.
It is necessary to perform wet cleaning of the room. Do not treat hard-to-reach areas so that the product works for a long time.
The secondary procedure is performed a week later. During this time, individuals hatch from the eggs. Without additional use of the product, the effectiveness will be low: new cockroaches appear, which increase the population.

Regent 25 is used for cockroaches in a similar way. Reviews indicate the effectiveness of the product only when used correctly. With these drugs you will be able to completely get rid of pests in a private home and apartment.

What consumers say

Now you can find many reviews about Regent. Here are some of them.

I bought Regent on the advice of a friend. Once I complained to her that I was completely tormented by cockroaches coming to “visit” a negligent neighbor. I bought the drug and did everything as my friend advised. I cleaned the entire apartment and went to work. Arriving in the evening, I was pleasantly surprised - all surfaces were strewn with dead cockroaches. This is how my months-long struggle with the Prussians ended! Anastasia, Samara

Just recently I purchased a home in a new house. But the joy of the housewarming gave way to disappointment due to the meeting with the Prussians. Unfortunately, I knew very well what it was and how much trouble it could bring. I decided to turn to my mother for advice. She advised the Regent. To be honest, there were certain doubts - the packaging says that it is a remedy for the Colorado potato beetle. But I decided to try anyway. The result amazed me. Some of the pests died, and some simply left the apartment. Natalya, Moscow
