When bedbugs appear, most of us immediately rush to the nearest household chemicals store. And what will we see there? An incredible variety of drugs against household pests will appear before your eyes: aerosols, dusts, concentrates. And at the same time, each product will have its own pros and cons, which, in turn, will only complicate the problem of choice. Today we will focus on one of the most popular insecticides - “Executioner”.
Why has this product gained such popularity among consumers? And there are several reasons for this:
- firstly, “Executioner” is one of the latest developments, which, during its short stay on the household insecticide market, has managed to establish itself as a very effective weapon against bedbugs;
- secondly, along with the fact that this drug contains a powerful insecticide that quickly exterminates pests, it is relatively safe for human health and domestic animals;
- thirdly, it is convenient and easy to use.
Among the huge number of fairly effective insecticidal preparations, this one stands out for its accessibility. To get rid of bedbugs in your sofa using the Executioner product, you will need only one bottle costing 70 rubles. Since bloodsuckers settle in places where people relax, one treatment of the sleeping area is often enough, especially if bedbugs have just appeared in the apartment.
Description of the drug
The Executioner contains fenthion, which is a lethal poison for insects. The death of bedbugs occurs a few minutes after its use. For warm-blooded creatures, including humans, the product is relatively harmless, having received the characteristic of a moderately toxic substance.
Executioner is sold in transparent 5 ml bottles
The composition of the Executioner was developed by German chemists, maximizing the toxicity of the active substance for insects and reducing its danger to people.
Externally, it looks like a transparent liquid of a slightly yellowish color. Sold in transparent bottles containing 5 ml of the drug. A distinctive sign of the product’s authenticity is a protective holographic sticker.
For total treatment with Executioner against bedbugs in a one-room apartment, you will need 10-15 bottles of the product. For a two-room apartment - 20-25 bubbles.
The great advantage of this drug is that insects do not become accustomed to it. Thus, you can re-treat the room with the same product without fear that the bedbugs have developed immunity to it.
Advice! If several nearby apartments are infested with insects, then it makes sense to cooperate with neighbors for total disinfestation, especially since the manufacturer’s official website offers discounts for purchasing large quantities of the drug.
Preparation of a working solution: how to dilute “Executioner” from bedbugs
To kill bedbugs, it is necessary to prepare a solution in which the concentration of the active substance is 0.50%. To do this, dissolve the emulsion concentrate in water, observing the following proportions:
- 1 liter of water – 18.2 grams of the drug;
- 5 liters of water – 91 grams of the drug;
- 10 liters of water – 182 grams of the drug.
To kill cockroaches and spiders, a more concentrated solution containing 1% of the active substance is required. To combat flies, fleas and ants, the concentration of the active substance in the solution should be 0.025%.
The emulsion is added to water at room temperature, stirring constantly to achieve a homogeneous solution. The prepared solution can be used within 8 hours.
When preparing the working composition, strictly follow the instructions. Don't break the proportions. The drug should be diluted with water at room temperature.

Instructions for use
The contents of one bottle are diluted in 500 ml of warm water. It is advisable to immediately stir the drug in the container from which the treatment will be carried out. You can buy a set of special equipment offered by the manufacturer of the drug. However, for one-time use such a purchase is unlikely to be advisable.
The remedy for bedbugs Executioner is economical. The instructions say that one bottle is designed for 5 m2 of room area. Thus, to treat one room of 10 m2 you will need 2 bottles.
The room is treated over the entire area of the apartment, not bypassing corners and hard-to-reach places.
Spray the following surfaces:
- side and inner surfaces of sofas;
- baseboards;
- places for attaching shelves;
- beds freed from bed linen;
- gaps between laminate or parquet boards;
- the surface of the wall behind the paintings;
- interior space of cabinets;
- bedside tables.
If you are carrying out such a procedure for the first time, then for greater confidence in a positive result, you should treat the balcony with the “Executioner”, regardless of whether it is glazed or not, window sills, ventilation hatches, a vestibule, if any, and even sockets, of course, first de-energized During the treatment process, bedbugs, “sensing something is wrong,” as a rule, run out of their secluded places and begin to look for “clean” territory. At this moment, it is not at all necessary to try to destroy them mechanically - the parasites will die in any case, even if they manage to hide in some crevice.
After treatment, the room is closed for 7-8 hours. Upon returning, the apartment is thoroughly ventilated for at least half an hour and wet cleaning begins. If repeated disinsection is required, it is carried out no earlier than 1-2 weeks after the previous one.
Advice! After the bug drinks blood, it goes to hard-to-reach places to digest it. If disinfestation is not carried out carefully, it will avoid exposure to the poison. Therefore, it is necessary to spray every crack and hole when treating an apartment with short-term preparations.
As practice shows, it is not necessary to use the “Executioner” for bedbugs more than twice. In addition, this product has one significant advantage: unlike many other similar insecticides, bedbugs do not develop addiction to this drug. Therefore, in the event of a second or third infection, you will not have to buy a new product, but use what is already available.
Precautions when using the drug
As mentioned above, “Executioner” is relatively safe for warm-blooded animals, which means that the possibility of poisoning still exists. Therefore, it is very important to follow certain safety precautions. These include:
- all residents, except the handler himself, and pets must leave the treated premises;
- the handler must use personal protective equipment, which includes a cotton-gauze bandage and gloves, while the legs and arms must also be completely covered with clothing;
- the procedure for baiting bedbugs should not take more than three hours - after this period of time, the handler must definitely leave the area treated with the insecticide;
- after carrying out work in the apartment, it is necessary to tightly close all doors and windows and limit access to it for at least 7-8 hours;
- the clothes in which the treatment was carried out should be washed automatically at the maximum permissible temperature;
- if the treatment is carried out in the summer, then it is advisable that after it the windows in the apartment are open for another day - this will guarantee that all toxic substances will completely disappear.
Characteristics of the insecticide
The Executioner poison works like other household poisons. It paralyzes the insect by preventing the transmission of nerve impulses. As a result, the bedbug’s life processes slow down and then stop altogether. It is noteworthy that the poison can be used not only against bed bugs, but also to eliminate flies, ants, locusts, moths and other “domesticated” pests. Fenthion is also dangerous to birds. This is one of the properties of poison that should be remembered during its use.
Features of use
The organophosphorus compound, which became the basis for the creation of “Executioner,” is used not only in everyday life. Poisons that contain this substance are the first assistants of amateur gardeners, and not only that.
- Summer cottage and agriculture. Fenthion reliably protects various crops from caterpillars, midges, aphids and other pests. It is used in the cultivation of rice, corn, pistachios, sugar cane and other plants. A gardener can safely spray plants with fenthion-based products on a farm plot several months before the fruits are fully ripened, without fear of being poisoned by eating them.
- Bird population control. Fenthion is practically safe for humans and warm-blooded creatures. But at the same time it is extremely dangerous for birds. Therefore, from time to time in different parts of the globe this organophosphate compound is used to control the population of one or another bird species.
Fenthion begins to act as soon as it penetrates the digestive system of the target of elimination or simply comes into contact with the surface of its body.
Properties of the drug
The drug is produced in our country, packaged in miniature plastic containers with a volume of 5 ml. Has the smell of kerosene. Contains:
- fenthion (25%);
- fragrances;
- antioxidants;
- stabilizers.
The product is active against adults, nymphs, larvae and eggs of bedbugs. Completely destroys parasites in five to six hours.
"Executioner" is a drug developed and tested in Germany.
Where to buy Executioner?
You can purchase the remedy for bedbugs Executioner at specialized retail outlets that sell insecticides, hardware and garden stores.
You can buy the drug directly from the manufacturer by leaving a request on its official website. You can often find advertisements for the sale of the product on the Internet.
Advice! Before purchasing the Executioner, you must ensure its authenticity. The original packaging is protected from counterfeiting by a holographic sticker. It's unlikely to be labeled as a fake.
How to spot a fake
The market for pest control products is full of counterfeits, and “Executioner” is no exception: the product often becomes the object of counterfeiting.
A real German medicine for bedbugs is sold only in 5 ml bottles. The product must contain instructions for use. Before buying and using a bedbug killer, check the integrity of the packaging: inspect the lid and sealing rings.
The product is safe for any surfaces: it does not violate the integrity of the paintwork, does not lead to cracks, chips and other defects.
Cleaning
After the Executioner bedbug remedy has taken effect, the room should be washed with soap and water or another detergent. Dead insects are collected using a vacuum cleaner and burned; all surfaces with which people can come into contact are wiped with a damp cloth.
Despite its low toxicity, the drug can still accumulate in the human body, so cleaning is carried out carefully, especially if there is a small child living in the house.
You can return to the apartment immediately after the room has been ventilated. The few remaining bedbugs die within a few days after treatment.
Effect on larvae and eggs
The drug kills young individuals much faster. This is due to the fact that the larvae have not yet had time to develop. Their body is still weak and some functions have not been developed. As the poison accumulates, the parasites die faster.
Moreover, the remedy Executioner for bedbugs
helps get rid of it at any stage of development. It even destroys individuals that have just emerged from eggs, despite the fact that the poison does not pass through the protective shell.
This is due to the length of the period during which the product exhibits a residual effect. It has been verified that after treatment, when the substance on the surfaces has already dried, the insecticide continues to act. Moreover, its effectiveness at this stage does not decrease, but remains at the same level. This allows you to get rid of insects at all stages of development; the need for repeated treatment disappears if all actions were performed correctly.
The insecticide acts on bedbugs at every stage of their development
What do the reviews say?
On the Internet you can find a huge number of reviews regarding the use of the drug “Executioner” and most of them are positive. People do not immediately identify bedbugs, which makes fighting them very difficult in the future. Over a short period of time, their numbers rapidly increase, and when residents realize that these little bloodsuckers have settled in their house, the problem can often no longer be solved with simple aerosols.
Judging by the reviews, the drug “Executioner” coped with the task perfectly well. The only drawback noted by users is the unpleasant odor after treatment. But at the same time, it disappeared very quickly, as soon as the windows were opened for a few hours. Consumers note its high efficiency and the fact that it often does not even require re-processing. Some were pleased with the versatility of the “Executioner” - upon returning to the apartment, the owners swept out not only a couple of kilos of dead bedbugs, but also cockroaches. In addition, the same reviews indicate that pest control workers also confirm the reliability of “Executioner” and are increasingly replacing previously used drugs with it.

- During processing, be sure to use safety glasses and latex gloves;
- Isolate the treatment area from children and pets;
- Do not exceed the dosage of the substance stated in the instructions;
- Do not mix the drug with other insecticides;
- Avoid contact of the insecticide with indoor plants and food;

No one is safe from the appearance of bedbugs in the house, but you can still protect yourself. So, preventive measures look like this:
- after visiting suspicious premises, always try to process your clothes in a clothes dryer at +60°C, in extreme cases, wash them at the maximum permissible temperature;
- if you spent the night in a contaminated room, for example, in the summer at a dacha, then after such a trip your clothes and backpack should be dry-cleaned;
- In summer, be sure to install mosquito nets on the windows;
- It is advisable to periodically lubricate the ventilation holes with a vinegar solution or place tansy and wormwood in them.
Interesting facts from the life of bedbugs can be learned from this video:
A bit of mysticism – what do bedbugs mean in a dream?
Bedbugs are so annoying to a person that they can even appear in a dream.
In this case, the dream will not carry any significant information. If you dream about insects out of the blue, then you need to start interpreting them.
Girl in a dream
The appearance of bedbugs in a dream in any case foreshadows trouble.
These could be minor problems, the appearance of an insincere person, betrayal of loved ones, illness, rivals in a love relationship, an audit at work, or the appearance of regulatory authorities.
If in a dream you managed to get rid of bedbugs, you will overcome all difficulties and can breathe easy.
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.
Effect of poison against parasites
"Executioner" is a contact insecticide. Possessing a scent reminiscent of kerosene that is attractive to bedbugs, it lures insects out of their hiding places. Upon contact with the parasite, fenthion, entering the respiratory system, has a paralytic effect on nerve impulses, leading to blockage of the internal organs of adults and their larvae, and death occurs.
However, the product will not be able to neutralize eggs protected by a dense shell, but the prolonged effect of the drug, reaching 5 days, allows you to destroy the larvae that hatched after treatment. If an area is infested with parasites for more than 14 days, to ensure destruction, repeated treatment is recommended after 5 days.
