Emulsifiable concentrate to be diluted with water for control of bed bugs - but also garden ants (Lasius niger), houseflies, red poultry mites, body lice and fleas. This product has been developed for professional use in sensitive rooms (living- and bedrooms, hotel rooms, etc.).
Geraniol (351 g/kg).
Bed bugs react differently to Geraniol com-pared to conventional contact-insecticides (e. g. pyrethrum). Geraniol is almost only effective as a contact insecticide. To achieve an optimal effect, the insect hast to be completely coated. There is no effect to the nervous system (sodium-potassium pump, block of the synapse), because the effect depends on the wetting of the insect. After the wetting, the water displacement out of the insect is very important. Geraniol is effective either through the respiratory system and/or after dissolving of the exoskeleton. According to that the cause of death is anoxia by aspiration, dehydration and/or effect of solvents to chitin and chitobiase or the wax layer that protects the body of the insect.
Gerinol-EC is sprayed as 4 % water dilution (200 ml concentrate/5 l water). 20 – 50 ml ready-to-use preparation/m² depending on the kind of surface. The preparation should not run off.
