Bedbugs are not the best neighbors, and therefore, once you find them in your home, immediately take measures to destroy them. Decide right away whether you will do this yourself or contact professional exterminators. And we need to approach this issue seriously because bedbugs, like all parasites, are carriers of many infections and diseases. And besides, they feed exclusively on blood, our blood. If you decide to do this yourself, then the question again arises before you, how to poison bedbugs? In this article we will look at such a remedy for bedbugs as Fufanon. Fufanon is a broad-spectrum insecticide that has proven itself in the fight against many parasites.
Fufanon description
The insecticide was developed by Danish and is a colorless oily liquid. The active substance is Malathion, an organophosphorus compound. The insecticide is an analogue of Karbofos, but with an improved formula and less toxic. Karbofos has long been used in agriculture and sanitary treatment of premises. Fufanon belongs to hazard class 3 (slightly dangerous) for humans and animals. Available in 5 ml ampoules and 1 liter and 5 liter canisters. Depending on the concentration of the active substance, 2 types are produced.
Fufanon super - 57% malathion, white to light yellow liquid with a faint odor. It has intestinal, contact and fumigation effects. Affects nerve impulses causing paralysis and subsequent death of the insect.
Fufanon Nova - 44% malathion, has the same properties as Fufanon Super, but is more designed for the treatment of fruit and berry crops and their pests.
How does the insecticide work?
The official instructions for use of Fufanon contain information that the drug begins to act soon after contact with the parasite. This product is a contact (fumigation) product. Having penetrated the insect's body, malathion immediately begins to destroy it - it disrupts the transmission of nerve impulses, gradually causing paralysis.
The death of a bedbug most often occurs after a few hours. The remaining individuals are inevitably destroyed within a few days.
Even one bug infected with an insecticide can spread poison throughout the entire colony of its relatives. The result is the development of a chain reaction, which allows you to quickly clear the room of unpleasant “neighbors”.
Important information! Manufacturers claim that 2-3 weeks after treating the home with Fufanon, all generations of bedbugs completely disappear. The drug completely deprives them of the ability to carry out any life activity and further reproduce.
Instructions for use of Fufanon
Before you start preparing the solution, you should protect yourself. Fufanon, like any insecticide, is poisonous and therefore we are required to wear personal protective equipment. We will need rubber gloves, goggles, a respirator and protective clothing. Next, we study the instructions.
- To kill bedbugs, fleas, and ants, dilute the product at 1.5 - 3.5 ml per 1 liter of water. Take into account the degree of contamination of the room; if necessary, increase the concentration.
- Against flies and cockroaches 9 - 11 ml per 1 liter of water.
- When using the liquid form of the drug, 5 ml of the product per 5 liters of water.
The consumption rate of the working (diluted) emulsion is 100 ml per 1 m2 for flies and cockroaches, 50 ml per 1 m2 for treating fleas, bedbugs and ants.
For convenience, we carry out the treatment by spraying using a paint brush or a spray bottle. Interesting fact: Bed bugs reproduce by traumatic insemination. The male literally pierces the female, placing future “bugs” in the female’s Berlese organ, where further development of the eggs occurs. A pair of bedbugs can reproduce up to 5 times in a lifetime, but laying eggs is possible only after mating.
Dosage for different crops
In order not to exceed the drug consumption rate, it is recommended to use a regular medical syringe.
Cucumbers, tomatoes
These crops are attacked by aphids, mites, whiteflies, sprout flies, and thrips. Seedlings should be treated when pests appear. If spraying does not help the first time, re-treatment is carried out after 10-14 days. The working solution is prepared from 2 ml of the drug per 1.5 liters of water. For an area of 100 m2, 10 liters of the finished solution are consumed.
In greenhouses, agriculture is attacked by greenhouse whitefly, leafminer flies, aphids and thrips. Plants are treated when parasites appear en masse. One application is enough for up to 35 days. The solution is prepared from 6.5 ml of pesticide per 2 liters of water; up to two liters of the finished solution are consumed per 10 m2.
Cabbage, peas, corn
To treat these crops, you will need 10 liters of ready-made solution per area of 100 m2. To prepare a working solution, you need to mix 2 ml of Fufanon with 1.5 liters of water. Crops are attacked by various pests: cabbage cutworms, aphids, whiteflies, moths, pea weevils, whiteflies, thrips, leafhoppers, bean moths, and pea codling moths.
Beet
To treat seedlings, you will need to dilute 2 ml of concentrate in a liter of water. To treat an area of 100 m2 you will need only 10 liters of the finished solution. Fufanon protects beets from leafhoppers, bedbugs, leafminer flies, beet aphids, and moths.
Sunflower
To protect the crop from attack by parasites, seedlings are sprayed. For the working solution, use 2 ml of concentrate per 3 liters of water. To protect an area of 100 m2, 10 liters of the prepared mixture are needed. Sunflowers are attacked by aphids and bugs.
Apple tree, pear tree, grapes, currants, gooseberries
To process these crops, prepare a mixture of 2 ml of concentrate and 1.5 liters of liquid. One adult tree requires up to 5 liters of the prepared mixture, and a young seedling - from 1.5 to 3 liters. For berry bushes and grapes, 1.5 liters of mixture is consumed for an adult plant and 1 liter of mixture for a young bush.
Cherry, sweet cherry, plum, strawberry
To treat plants, prepare a mixture of 2 ml of concentrate and 1.7 liters of water. Young fruit seedlings need about 2 liters of the mixture, and an adult plant - 5 liters. To spray strawberries, it takes 1.5 liters per 10 m2. Plants are treated when there is a massive attack of insects.
Raspberries
This plant destroys raspberry beetles, aphids, raspberry bud moths, mites, and raspberry weevils. To treat the bushes, make a mixture of 6.6 ml of concentrate and 3 liters of liquid. The first spraying should be carried out a week before flowering, and the second after harvesting.
Cuttings
To protect the cuttings from pests, they are soaked in the prepared mixture for a couple of minutes. The mixture is made from 2 ml of concentrate and 3 liters of water.
Ornamental plants
Ornamental crops are loved by mites, leaf miners, apple borers, leaf rollers and aphids. To protect plants from parasites, up to three sprayings are carried out during the growing season. The mixture is made from 6 ml of concentrate per 3 liters of liquid. Three liters of the prepared solution is enough to treat an area of 10 m2 of visible crown.
From domestic cockroaches and bedbugs
The use of Fufanon indoors against bedbugs, ants, fleas, flies and cockroaches has its own peculiarities. Sometimes there are even more insects than before using the drug. This is explained by the different body structure of domestic parasites from garden pests.
To treat the room, you need to dissolve an ampoule (2 ml) in two liters of clean water. If there are a lot of insects, you should take two ampoules instead of one. To prevent insects from hiding behind the furniture, it is moved away from the walls. The room is well ventilated beforehand, and after spraying the apartment is left for 2 hours. But it’s better to leave the premises for a day. After a couple of weeks, disinfection is repeated to destroy insect larvae and eggs.
You cannot leave even a centimeter of untreated surface. Furniture begins to be disinfected from the back. Don't forget about carpeted floors and walls - insects can hide there too.
Upon returning home, you should do a general cleaning and wipe the floors and doors with a weak soda solution (st/l per liter): this will protect against the penetration of toxins through the skin or through the respiratory tract. It is also recommended to wash all items and wash all dishes. Toxic substances settle densely on all surfaces and pose a certain health hazard. If there are animals in the house, you need to wash their bowls too.
Preparing the apartment for processing
Start with regular wet cleaning; using a regular vacuum cleaner you will partially reduce the population of bedbugs and their eggs in nests.
- Carefully go through all secluded places such as cracks in the floor and baseboards, folds of the mattress and upholstered furniture.
- We remove curtains and curtains, put clothes in closets (if interior treatment of closets is not required).
- We move the furniture away from the walls and, if possible, clear out the rubble (for easy access).
- Dishes and food are bagged and taken out in the same way as cosmetics and personal care products.
- People and pets are removed, the aquarium is tightly covered, and the flowers are removed.
- Remove carpets and paintings from the walls.
- Inspect the places where the wallpaper does not adhere tightly to the wall.
Analogs
The following drugs can be used as analogues of Fufanon Super:
- Paragraph;
- Averfos;
- Forssyth;
- Doublet;
- Confidant.
Raptor fumigators and Reid aerosols are no less in demand. As folk remedies, ammonia or ethyl alcohol, kerosene, turpentine, essential oils of lemon, grapefruit and tea tree can be used.
Where to process
- Skirting boards, cracks in the floor, places where the wallpaper does not adhere well to the wall.
- The reverse side of the mattresses, the frame of the bedroom set.
- Bedside tables, poufs, chests of drawers (pull-out shelves).
- The back side of paintings, carpets, sconces.
- Heating panels and spaces under window sills.
- Sockets and switches.
Smoking and eating are prohibited during the work process. If, while working with an insecticide, it comes into contact with your skin, you should immediately wash the area with running water and soap. In case of contact with eyes, rinse with plenty of running water.
Precautionary measures
The active ingredient of the drug, malathion, belongs to the toxic group dangerous to humans, so sanitization is carried out only in protective equipment. Before spraying, you must wear rubber gloves, a hat that completely covers your hair, a respirator, and clothing that covers all exposed areas of your body.
Do not smoke, drink or eat during treatment. At the end of the process, you must thoroughly wash your hands, rinse your face and rinse your mouth.
As for storage conditions, given the toxicity of the product, it can be stored in places inaccessible to children and light, and also separately from food products.
It is not recommended to use the drug for people with allergies. Do not pour any remaining product down the drain.
Price
Low consumption and high efficiency distinguish the insecticide. For one treatment of a medium-sized room, several ampoules or 5 ml of the drug are enough. Economical consumption and low cost are the advantages of an insecticide containing malathion. Estimated cost as of the date of writing the article of the effective drugs Fufanon and Fufanon Super:
- concentrated emulsion, volume 1 l – 1300 rubles;
- canister with a capacity of 5 l, concentration – 57%. Cost 4500 rubles;
- ampoule, volume 5 ml. Price – 25 rubles;
Advantages of the drug
The main advantage of the drug Fufanon is its prolonged action, which maintains the harmful effect for two weeks. This allows only one treatment of the room, during which it is possible to destroy a large population of bedbugs.
This is due to the fact that the larvae that hatch later receive an equally large portion of the pesticide and die. This way there is no generational change. Numerous positive reviews about this drug confirm its quality.
Fufanon is classified in group 3 in terms of toxicity. Allows you to kill bloodsuckers instantly. The manufacturer has highlighted the following advantages of the drug:
- A unique chemical component that provides high efficiency in the fight against parasites.
- Lack of resistance to it in bedbugs and other household pests.
- A high degree of evaporation, which allows vapors of the product to penetrate into the most inaccessible places and completely destroy bedbug nests.
- Serves as a repeller for new hordes of pests.
- The quality indicators of the chemical do not decrease under the influence of temperature changes.
- It is possible to combine it with other types of insecticides to enhance the destructive effect.
It is not advisable to combine the product with alkaline drugs, containing copper and sulfur.
What to do after treatment
We leave the room for 5 - 7 hours, for the best result for a day. Upon return, open the windows and thoroughly ventilate. Using a soda solution (250g per bucket of water), we wipe the entire contact surface of tables, the outside of furniture, etc. Complete cleaning should be carried out after 3 - 4 days. Fufanon is a contact insecticide, that is, it penetrates through the chitinous membrane into the inside of the bug and affects the nerve endings, causing paralysis and death of the insect. With proper treatment, the entire population of bedbugs dies within 3 days. The residual effect allows you to fight both adult individuals immediately and newly hatched eggs within 3 - 4 weeks. Bedbug eggs do not die during treatment because they have a strong protective shell, but the residual effect of the product kills the hatched larvae. The incubation period of which is about 2 weeks. We send the clothes in which the treatment was carried out to the wash, and take a shower ourselves.

Mechanism of action on bedbugs
Thanks to the drug and its action, no insects remain in the house in a short time. The main advantage of Fufanon is that it is not afraid of large areas of treatment. It is because of this that professional service workers also use it when carrying out professional pest control against bedbugs.
The principle of action is in many ways similar to such a drug for bedbugs as “Karbofos”. The active substance enters the limbs and chitinous cover of the insect, after which the insect’s nervous system begins to be blocked and the bloodsucker dies.
This remedy gains scale thanks to a chain reaction, when the poison spreads through the nest through a poisoned parasite and penetrates the bodies of other pests. The peak activity of the main component occurs in the first two hours after disinsection, but the drug has a long period of residual action lasting up to a month.
It is difficult to find a remedy against bedbugs that destroys not only the pests themselves, but also the clutch of eggs of these parasites. The drug "Fufanon ke" affects several generations of insects at once. Since after disinfestation it retains its poisonous properties for a long time. But it is worth noting that in some cases, this will still require re-treatment of the room against bedbugs.
Composition, active ingredients
The active ingredient in fufanon is malathion. This component is present in most drugs that are intended to combat insects and pests. In addition, it is part of preparations used for medical and agricultural pest control. The differences between the products lie in the level of concentration. This is an oily liquid in its natural form that has no color, but has a rather bright specific odor. Products using it have a rich brown color.
Reviews
“I used the drug Fufafon for a long time: there were no problems with insects after using it. Previously, I often used it to get rid of pests in the garden, and when parasites attacked the apartment, I was pleasantly surprised that the product was also suitable for treating it. At first I didn’t believe the reviews of other people, but “Fufafon” did its job perfectly, even if we used it twice! The only downsides worth noting are the strong chemicals of the drug and the unpleasant odor. Our fight against bedbugs was a great success! I recommend to everyone! This is a truly effective remedy for bedbugs!”

Elena, Nizhny Novgorod
“A friend recommended me the anti-bedbug product Fufanon. After the first treatment there were almost no insects. I used the drug again, and after repeated treatment, the blood-sucking bugs disappeared. My struggle in the apartment on my own was very successful!”
