What is Zonder for bedbugs and how to use it?
The presence of such a "neighbor" as a bug in the house can lead anyone to despair. These small blood-sucking insects cause a lot of trouble, and therefore you need to fight them immediately after detection. The most effective option is to use an effective insecticide. This is exactly what Zonder is. In the article we will consider its features and characteristics.
Description
Zonder is one of the newest Dutch developments. Its popularity is due to the fact that the bugs have not yet had time to get used to the composition of the product, and in fact they are very adapted to many substances, and it is not so easy to kill them once and for all. Zonder contains 3 main ingredients to get rid of unwelcome guests.
-
Pyrethroids. This is a certain class of poisons, very destructive for insects. Causes paralysis and seizures, which quickly becomes the cause of the death of the pest.
-
Organic phosphorus compounds. Contacting the body of the pest, these compounds directly affect the nervous system of the bug.
-
Synergist. This element has been added to increase the efficiency of the above two components. However, it alone can affect insects, affecting their gastrointestinal function.
The insecticide is marketed as a liquid concentrate. The container volumes can be completely different: these are small bottles of 100 milliliters, and impressive cans of 5 liters. The color of the preparation is light brown. The principle of operation is quite simple. It's no secret that bed bugs feed only on blood. Therefore, luring them with something, like cockroaches, will not work. Here you need a substance of contact action.
Being a microencapsulated agent, Zonder settles on insect bodies and is firmly attached to them. Tiny capsules of a substance containing poison break open when the parasites move, poisoning them. The individual affected by the toxin returns to "his own", bringing poison on his own shell. After some time, the poison paralyzes the pests, and they die. Zonder lasts approximately 7 weeks. During this time, all parasites will die.
Over the next 6 months, a partial effect of the remedy will persist.
Now let's consider a few more advantages of the drug:
-
a quick effect not only on adults, but also on the larvae;
-
a unique composition, thanks to which the bugs cannot adapt to the remedy;
-
long exposure time;
-
for responsible use - safety for adults, children, as well as pets living in the room;
-
the possibility of using in a variety of places - apartments, houses, enterprises, warehouse buildings, government agencies;
-
additional death of other parasites, if any.
As for the disadvantages, there are several points.
-
Prices. Zonder is quite expensive. For example, 100 milliliters of the drug will cost you 1,300 rubles. A liter of the substance will cost a little more than 6,000 rubles. Five-liter cylinders are most often in demand only by professional services.
-
Foreign smell. The tool has a peculiar aroma, and very few like it. Usually the smell disappears in a couple of hours, but sometimes it happens that it remains indoors for weeks.
Instructions for use
Very often, the treatment of premises with insecticides is trusted by specialists.... There are two main reasons for this.
-
Difficulties in calculations. When baiting bugs, you need to take into account many nuances: was there any previous experience in getting rid of them, the approximate number of insects, their place of residence. All of this affects concentration. In addition, European manufacturers indicate in the instructions the concentration, which may not be enough. This is due to the difference in climate, the number of insects, and their species. Therefore, it is sometimes difficult to calculate the dosage yourself.
-
Difficulties in application. Bedbugs are very small insects, and they can crawl anywhere. If this attack is with you for the first time, then, most likely, you have no idea about all their burrows and lairs. It is difficult for an inexperienced person to find all the hidden places of insects.
Nevertheless, self-processing is quite possible to try out. We will consider in more detail how to do this.
Preparation
This is a very important stage in keeping the premises intact and safe. The first step is to remove all bedding and mattress covers. Laundry is washed at the highest temperatures and can also be steam-treated. If it is winter outside and you live in a private house, then the bedding should be taken out in the cold and left there for 24 hours.
Besides, it is necessary to move the beds and sofas away from the walls in order to be able to approach them from behind. Blankets, covers, bedspreads are removed from furniture. They also inspect the walls themselves, especially where there are small holes or loose wallpaper. In such places, parasites may well be found. The skirting boards are removed and removed to another room. It is also advisable to remove the flowers, but if this cannot be done, they are covered with film or grocery bags. Children and pets should not be present during processing.
Important: before proceeding with the procedure for cleaning the apartment, you should visit your neighbors and talk to them. Perhaps in adjoining apartments they are also struggling with uninvited guests. In addition, the bugs of neighbors will be able to get back to your home after a while.
Treatment
Zonder is a concentrated product and must be diluted before use. For each liter of water, 5 milliliters of the product will be required. Correctly diluted composition will have the color of milk. However, if there are too many insects, the concentration can be increased. In this case, take 15 milliliters of the drug per liter of water.
After the product has been diluted, you need to start using it immediately. Take an unnecessary spray bottle, fill it with the composition. Then start processing all the places where the offenders lurk. It can be many locations: cracks in the walls and floor, furniture frame, window sills. Be sure to check the holes for ventilation, radiators. Go through the wardrobes, cabinets, sort out the linen. Be sure to look behind the pictures, because blood-sucking parasites may well be hiding there.
For hard surfaces, you will need 50 milliliters of product per square meter. Substrates that can absorb moisture will require 100 milliliters. After processing, you must leave the apartment for a few hours. All vents and doors are tightly closed so that the insecticide does not erode. Upon arrival home, the room is ventilated. Places that you often grasp with your hands should be wiped with a damp cloth. You can also treat them with an antiseptic. After 14 days, the cleaned room is thoroughly cleaned.
The disadvantage of Zonder is that this insecticide does not affect eggs - only larvae and adult insects. This means that reprocessing is the right solution. After general cleaning (14 days after the first cleaning), the product is used again. Then they act in the same way as in the first case: they wipe the contact points, wait 2 weeks, clean the room.
Security measures
Zonder has a chemical composition, so like any insect repellent, it must be used correctly. Do not allow this insecticide to come into contact with the skin or the respiratory tract. Here are some important rules for using the product.
-
Protect your skin and respiratory system. Be sure to wear a special suit, gloves and a respirator. You must also wear a special mask to protect your eyes.
-
Do not eat, drink or smoke in the cleaning area.
-
Zonder must not be applied to electrically conductive surfaces. It is forbidden to spray sockets, electrical appliances, wires.
-
When the treatment has come to an end, you should thoroughly wash your hands and take a shower. Collect all clothing and wash at high temperatures. If they are disposable items, it is best to throw them away. Glasses or a protective mask are treated with antiseptic compounds.
Besides, it is necessary to store the product correctly. The bottle is placed in a cool and dark place, where babies or animals cannot reach it. It is forbidden to store the product in tandem with medicines, household chemicals.
Important: if after treatment you feel a headache, nausea, pain in the eyes, or incomprehensible rashes appear on the skin, then do not postpone the visit to the doctor. The consequences of poisoning can be unpredictable.
Review overview
Almost all customers say Zonder is very good. The main point that was noted in the responses is the excellent effectiveness of the product. The insecticide does an excellent job, quickly destroying entire populations of unwanted neighbors. However, consumers insist that at least two treatments should be carried out in order to really get rid of the blood-sucking parasites.
As for the smell, it is naturally unpleasant. And yet, those who are tired of bedbugs are ready to endure it, if only for the reasons that other drugs emanate worse aromas that do not disappear from the apartment for weeks. And also in almost all reviews it is noted that Zonder is the only drug that helped not only get rid of pests, but also prevent their reappearance. All adult parasites, in contact with the agent, get out of their hiding places and die. All that remains is to sweep them off with a broom and discard them.
It is not recommended to use a vacuum cleaner.
As for negative responses, they also exist, but almost all of them are not related to efficiency, but to the nuances of purchase and use. For example, some people claim that they did not feel well after the treatment. It is quite possible to get poisoned if you neglect the safety rules, and this is not a secret. Others did not like the fact that the product is expensive and difficult to obtain. In addition, due to such a shortage, there are many fakes on the market. It is important to note that the Zonder is only sold in the following containers:
-
50;
-
100;
-
250;
-
500 ml;
-
1 l.
Canisters for 5 liters can also be found, but such an amount is not required for an ordinary consumer.
Each bottle of the product has a special hologram.
