Insecticide is one of the important drugs used by gardeners, gardeners and flower growers. Finding one that is effective, has the fewest side effects, and is inexpensive is difficult. But it's quite possible. When selecting a protective agent against parasites, they also take into account the fact that it must destroy not just a dozen pests, but much more.
If we consider the drug Intavir, then it meets all the indicators and requirements put forward by farmers. The product can be used in large and small areas, for fruit, berry and vegetable crops, on all types of soil. The spectrum of action of the insecticide includes more than 5 dozen parasitic insects.
Description and properties of the drug
An insect poison called Intavir was developed relatively recently by Russian scientists. It is an analogue of a natural toxic substance, but is produced synthetically.
The main component is cypermethrin. This substance is found in tansy, chrysanthemums, and chamomile. The substance is a reliable protection against attack by parasites.
Intavir contains a concentration of almost 4%. Which indicates use in only one case: infection by parasites. Prophylactic use is dangerous due to high toxicity.
The product is used when observing on plants:
- flower beetles and thrips;
- leaf rollers and tea moths;
- codling moths and cabbage whites;
- aphids and ants;
- carrot and cherry flies;
- weevil and Colorado potato beetle.
The drug is powerful and quickly effective. But due to the fact that some insects have strong immunity, it can be used repeatedly. For most parasites, one spray is enough for complete destruction.
Provided that the result is not observed for more than 3-5 days, it is recommended to use other insecticides. It is possible that the insect has already developed immunity to the active component.
Intavir is released in the form of tablets (one blister contains 8 tablets) or powder. It dissolves quickly and well in liquid, but decomposition in the soil lasts up to 30 days. The active substance - cypermethrin - is similar to a paralyzer.
Affects the nerve endings of the insect upon contact with the treated surface. When eaten, the effect occurs 2 times faster. Due to the fact that the parasite experiences convulsions and cannot move, it must be completely eliminated. In this case, the plant is not damaged, the substance does not negatively affect the crop.
Intavir can be used at home to treat indoor plants. But you should pay attention to safety precautions. Since the drug is toxic and will have a bad effect on the health of humans and animals.
Reviews
Ulyana, Pskov: “A good remedy for fighting caterpillars and aphids, but rather weak against the Colorado potato beetle - you’ll have to find something more effective. In addition, it is always impossible to completely dissolve it, although a friend advised me to use warm water. Well, I’ll definitely try this year.”
Alena, Leningrad region: “I have been using Intavir for a long time, but I am not particularly enthusiastic about its use. And all because it does not help fight eggs at all, which is why you have to re-treat it after 5 days. If something starts to happen again, then you have to select another drug, since this one no longer helps. Ask why then do I buy it at all? It’s simple: it’s cheaper to look for Intavir, and its cost-effectiveness doesn’t raise the slightest criticism.”
Natalya, St. Petersburg: “Despite the fact that it is very cold this year, everything is already sprouting in the garden. This means that very soon my beloved Intavir, which certainly doesn’t care, will be used. The only negative is that chemistry is chemistry, and although the drug is positioned as completely safe, I personally don’t think so, I carry out the treatment only with gloves and a special mask.”
Alexandra, Zarinsk: “Intavir is a good remedy, but it doesn’t take everything. For example, I haven’t treated potatoes with it for a long time, since the result with the beetle is zero, but for cabbage it’s just right! There is no smell of caterpillars or slugs after Intavir, as well as Intavir itself, which is washed off “once or twice” with water. Overall, I'm satisfied. I recommend".
The insecticide Intavir is easy to use and relatively safe. For maximum effect, it is recommended to strictly follow the instructions included with the drug.
Impact principle
The effect of Intavira is similar to the ancient method: the use of dried Dalmatian chamomile flowers. The flower has been used since ancient times and is trustworthy. Peretroid or the second generation of cypermethrin is an analogue of the natural substance.
The active ingredient is poisonous. After application to the foliage, the bark is effective (without increasing humidity) for up to 28-30 days. It enters the body of insects along with food and begins to destroy nerve cells. The applied preparation is not absorbed into plant juices, but remains on the surface in the form of a thin film.
Once ingested, the toxic component kills the insect. Approximate waiting time is up to 3 days. But the substance can only kill adults. Intavir has no effect on larvae and eggs. If it rains, the working solution (film) is washed off.
The pesticide cannot be used multiple times per season. Annual use leads to pests becoming accustomed to Intavir. Therefore, it is recommended to alternately apply insecticides.
Need to know! Intavir is a product that helps get rid of bed bugs. The toxicity is so great that in three doses there is a chance of eliminating the problem forever. It's not just furniture that is treated. Skirting boards, wallpaper, and radiators should be treated. After eliminating the insects, the room is ventilated and thoroughly washed with special products.
