There are many methods of fighting cockroaches, but toxic chemicals remain the most effective. It is not easy to pick up an insecticide: the market is filled with a wide variety of pest control agents (aerosols, pastes, powders, gels). That is why you should focus on the time-tested drugs. One of these tools is the German gel-paste from cockroaches Global. What is so good this insecticide?
Global from cockroaches: description and properties
Gel preparation "Global" (Globol) produces a German manufacturer. The insecticide is an opaque paste of dark beige color. Packaged tool in plastic tubes of 75 grams. The average price in Russia varies from 200 to 300 rubles per unit of production. The drug is economical, one package is enough to handle an apartment of 70 squares.
Composition:
- active ingredient chlorpyrifos (0.5%). The validity of the substance from 40 to 60 days;
- fatty base (cocoa butter);
- preservatives;
- attractants (enhance the effect of the main substance).
Thanks to this additive, the product does not dry out for a long time and has a pleasant chocolate smell that attracts cockroaches to itself.
How does the cockroaches?
Getting into the organisms of pests (through the respiratory tract), the active substance (chlorpyrifos) negatively affects the protein enzyme in the nerve tissues, which is responsible for the transmission of nerve impulses.
The infected insect becomes sluggish, crawls out of shelter even during the day. This strange behavior suggests that their coordination is disturbed by poison. A few hours after the poisoning, the paralyzed individual dies.
Distribution of the drug occurs in two ways:
- 1st method. The cockroach on its paws, which received its portion of poisonous fumes, transports the gel to the colony's habitat, generously supplying it to its relatives. The delayed effect of the poison is designed so that the insect does not die instantly, but managed to carry the insecticide nuggets into the nest.
- 2nd method. Chain reaction. Cockroaches - cannibals, they would never pass by a fellow who passed away from the poison and will surely eat his corpse. After that, all those participating in the meal will also get sick and die after some time.
Other forms of the drug "Globol"
In addition to the gel, Global is available in the form of:
- aerosol (400 ml.). This tool is convenient to use. The substance is sprayed from a distance of 10-15 cm. Directly on the nests of insects or on individuals themselves. Wash surfaces after treatment is not required. Particular attention is paid to places of watering insects: bathroom, toilet. At the time of spraying the premises of all living in the apartment should be sent for a walk for a couple of hours.
