How and when the drug "Executioner" was created
Description of the preparation
The poison-insecticide "Executioner" is a certified means corresponding to GOSTs, approved for use at objects of various categories, including in everyday life. The drug is produced in vials of 5 ml in the form of an emulsion concentrate, which must be diluted in water to obtain a working solution. The concentration of the emulsion is 0,035-1,000% of the active substance and depends on the type of insect.
The main component of the poison is an organophosphorus oily compound - fenthion, the concentration of which is 25%. In its pure form, it looks like a colorless liquid, but in technical form it acquires a yellowish color. The smell of fenthion is weak, slightly reminiscent of garlic aroma. The composition of the drug also includes: surfactants, fragrances, stabilizers and antioxidants.
"Executioner" works similarly to other household pesticides, penetrating with air into the respiratory system of insects or through the chitinous shell upon contact with the surface. Its principle of action on the body of bedbugs is based on the ability to inhibit cholinesterase, disrupting the transmission of nerve impulses. As a result, a number of insect organ systems fail and paralysis develops. The parasite loses the ability to move, feed and reproduce, and then dies. The rate of death of an adult depends on the amount of poison received and accumulated in the body. Complete destruction of parasites occurs within 5-6 hours.
Young bedbugs that do not have time to develop properly, the drug kills faster. Moreover, it has a detrimental effect even on larvae that have just hatched from eggs. Although the poison does not pass through the protective shell of the egg, it retains its effect on the treated surface after drying, poisoning the offspring that appear after a few days. This property of fenthion allows you to quickly get rid of insects at all stages of their development.
