Hello everyone, friends! They recently told me a story about how cockroaches were poisoned in a hostel. There, a whole floor was given for the needs of male students, and it can be assumed that after the students a host of cockroaches moved to the dormitory, no less tenacious than these same students.
Oddly enough, they cooperated and were able to cope with the parasites on their own. In this regard, I learned about the tool "Cucaracha" from cockroaches, feedback on which from the direct participants in this story was simply the best. I decided to tell you more about this drug!
The content of the article:
Overview of remedies for cockroaches Cucaracha
The cockroach remedy for cockroaches is one of the most powerful modern insecticidal drugs. It allows you to quickly and permanently get rid of insects in the house. But when using it, you need to consider that this chemical is extremely toxic.
What is Cucaracha
If you take the Russian-Spanish dictionary and see how the word "cockroach" is translated, it turns out that this is cucaracha. This general term has a specific meaning: this is the name of the local flying cockroach in America.
But in the fun song of the same name, it is not about insects, but about Mexican government troops - the song "Cucaracha" arose a hundred years ago, when a revolution took place in Mexico.
This modern product is available in two forms - gel and granules, its insecticidal effect is ensured by the fact that it contains malathion and cypermethrin, which makes this chemical superior to many other products. Therefore, even those who once despaired of taking cockroaches out of their homes speak with enthusiasm about Kukarache.
The powerful effect is explained by the fact that the cypermethrin pesticide has the ability to penetrate the chitinous membrane, and malathion acts as a catalyst, accelerating biological processes and leading to the death of an insect a maximum of an hour after the poison has entered its body.
But this is not the deadly potential: since the consistency of the product is such that the poison sticks to the cockroach, it drags all this to the rest of the population, and thereby reduces it very much.
Gel
The liquid form of Cucaracha is available in two packs, 50 ml and 1 liter. To carry out disinsection in the house, a 50-ml bottle with an emulsion is enough. Large volumes are used for industrial applications when it is necessary to process vast production areas.
Each bottle is accompanied by instructions for use, which details the algorithm of work. At the preparatory stage, you need:
- bring the rest of the family members, as well as cats, dogs and other pets, to somewhere;
- take home plants in pots to the neighbors, if there are bouquets standing in the vases - take them out;
- hide utensils, toys and other household items as far as possible so that they do not get a chemical;
- put everything edible in the refrigerator.
Already by these precautionary measures, one can understand that this remedy for cockroaches is very toxic. It is necessary to breed this thicker in the ratio of 3 ml per liter of water with a temperature just below room temperature.
Immediately before you start to poison cockroaches, you need to protect yourself beloved: a chemical protection suit would be ideal, but not everybody has access to this luxury, so you need to protect your eyes and eyes, covered with tight clothes and rubber gloves with your body and hands.
It is better to use disposable surgical gloves when working - they are thin, fit hands well and are easy to work in, and then be disposed of without regret. In order not to breathe toxic fumes, you will need a respirator.
For thorough processing of housing, it is desirable to slightly move large furniture away from the walls so that the sprayed liquid penetrates well on the back surface of cabinets, sofas, etc.
After processing in the apartment, you must open all the windows and leave the room and return no earlier than 4 hours (5 is better). And upon return, it is necessary to carry out wet cleaning.
Since the drug is very toxic, in addition to cleaning, you need to monitor your well-being so as not to miss the first symptoms of poisoning - nausea, headache and dizziness, general weakness.
The danger also lies in the fact that this tool does not have a pungent smell, like other drugs, and a person, when working with him, can, without noticing it, breathe in toxic fumes.
Granules
Granules of “Cucaracha” are packed in bags of 30 g and 100 g. As a rule, plastic bags are attached to the bags, on which the substance will need to be unloaded in small portions.
Method of application: a small number of granules on plastic substrates (if they are not, you can take ordinary sheets of paper) is laid out around the apartment in those places where cockroaches like to walk.
You can not use plates and other utensils for this - with the exception of disposable plastic, which are then to be disposed of.
Favorite places for cockroaches are the surface of kitchen cabinets and shelves, the surroundings of the bin, the space under the refrigerator. The latter is especially true, since in modern models at the bottom of the rear surface there is a tank with water that accumulates during automatic defrosting.
For cockroaches, this is an ideal watering place, so the bait laid out under the refrigerator is guaranteed to achieve its goal: in three days the apartment will be free from insects. It remains only to sweep them on the scoop and throw them away.
When working with granules, you need to be especially careful so that the product does not come in contact with either children or pets. You can not pour this poison into the sewer.
What to remember
If you chose this chemical, the advantages of its use include the fact that you don’t have to fight cockroaches for a long time: just one thorough treatment is enough - and after three days you can celebrate the victory. But so that it is not overshadowed by undesirable consequences, you need to be extremely careful and careful.
Any, even the best, remedy does not happen without side effects.In this case, it is the high toxicity of the drug "Cucaracha". Therefore, it is strictly forbidden to work without protective equipment and to neglect safety rules.
If you follow all the instructions and after processing to monitor cleanliness and remove food debris - you can forget about cockroaches for a long time.
Remedy for bugs Cucaracha
The drug Cucaracha is attractive for its effectiveness and accessibility. It smells rather unpleasant and sharply, but is able to bring out a population of insects in a matter of hours. What is remarkable, it is sometimes used even by specialized pest control brigades. It is sold in small bottles, as well as in liter containers.
How does the drug work?
The potent effect of the drug is achieved by combining two powerful insecticides in it. The first belongs to the substances of the pyrethroid group, it has a contact effect.
Even if you apply it once, it will then work for another month. The substance is not sensitive to ultraviolet and temperature extremes; in insects, immunity to it is almost never developed.
The second insecticide, malathion, also has a neuroparalytic effect for insects. But the substance quickly disappears from the surfaces. In some cases, insect resistance to it was recorded.
During the first three days, the maximum effect of using Cucarachi is achieved. During this time, the room is completely cleaned from parasites.
How to apply
It is impossible to use Kukarachu in the acquired form. The drug must be diluted with water in a proportion of 2.5 grams per liter of water. To take water low and not high temperature, preliminary infusion of the composition is not required, that is, it can be used immediately after dilution.
The easiest and most convenient way is to place the solution in a special spray gun and with its help carefully treat all surfaces, beds, furniture, not forgetting to look into the most secluded corners of the rooms. And do not forget about the various pantries and baseboards. There these creatures can definitely be caught red-handed.
And usually people forget about places like:
- all backs and sides of furniture;
- frame parts of upholstered furniture;
- the space near the windowsills.
After the treatment is completed, aerate everything. After all, you do not want to get poisoned? Open all the windows wide for about four hours, and then you can start washing. Dilute the soap solution and thoroughly rinse off any traces of the product.
Be sure to do another treatment in a couple of weeks! This is necessary so that the individuals hatched from the eggs also receive their dose of poison. Otherwise, the nightmare could happen again!
Security measures
With its effectiveness, Cucaracha simply cannot be non-toxic. When working with it, safety precautions will be required. A means of the second safety class, which means it can harm human skin or animal health.
The contained poisons in Kukarach neutralize their toxic effect in the gastrointestinal tract of warm-blooded animals. However, in large doses, it can lead to allergies and intoxication.
If you feel dizzy, mild nausea, impaired coordination, and even cramps, it is possible that you received poisoning with the drug. And malathion in general, according to test results, can cause cancer. But this is if it accumulates in the body for a long time.
If after processing you have at least a little money left in no case, do not pour it into the sewer pipes (sinks, bathtubs, toilets). Poison toxins are harmful to floaters, and can poison water bodies.
With such a delicate matter as removing parasites, neglecting safety rules is more expensive for yourself. Consider that no one at home is at home during the trial. Close even aquariums with fish tightly and turn off the compressor. Food must also be tightly sealed and put away.
Where to buy Cucaracha
Cucaracha is on sale. You can find it in many hardware or specialized stores in the country.
Many people prefer to buy the product over the Internet. For a small bottle you need to pay about 180 rubles. This is a relatively low cost, given the qualitative result of the drug.
Enough packaging for a small house or apartment with a margin. There is a drug in liter bottles, but it is used only where the area is huge or neighbors are chipped. Sanitary brigades also buy in such volumes.
Based on the same substances as in Kukarache, there are other effective drugs:
- Karbofos;
- Fufanon Super
- Tetrix
- Tsifoks
- Sipaz et al.
These products also contain the known cypermethrin and malathion in their composition and also have a high degree of effectiveness.
Buying professional products is dangerous; it can harm the body. Cucaracha is one of the drugs that can be used without worrying about health.
Reviews
- I’ll tell you about my experience, maybe someone will come in handy. I work in a hostel, well, you understand that in such places bed bugs are an integral part of the building. In general, we tried a lot than to poison, but Tetrix helps best. I work, san service, which poison insects. Only you can’t buy it yourself. We found a good alternative to Tetrix, Cucarach. Relatively inexpensive goes out to poison. If properly planted, then you can process all three floors. I really like the remedy, although it stinks terribly. But the sanitary and epidemiological stations, too, you know, smell like daisies. Ulyana Mikhailovna, Vologda
- My neighbors advised Kukarach. They poisoned bugs last year, but apparently they got to this. The tool turned out to be really effective. There wasn’t even a special stench, but he carried the “aliens” out of the apartment with his scoop. For the price, it’s not to say that it’s expensive, plus an economical expense. For my odnushka very little was needed. I did not dilute the drug at room temperature with water, but a little warmed up. So, in my opinion, the substances entered the process even better. Sergey K., Mozhga
- It was urgent to process the apartment, there was no long time for moving, the SES also changed their minds about calling. Found an inexpensive Cucaracha remedy. Thought not very effective, for such a price. But no. Everything went fine, processed, then removed everything and pah-pah. I do not want to jinx it, but it seems that nobody is dead. It is written that re-processing is required, but everything already suits me. Do you think it is necessary or not to nevertheless carry out repeated processing? Suddenly, not all the eggs died? Marina, Goose Crystal
- We took Cucaracha for our communal apartment. Not all neighbors then agreed to get bedbugs by professional services. I read reviews, stopped at Kukarache. We bought a large liter bottle with the calculation of the entire floor to process. So even half of it was enough for us. Only at first we did not know that it was necessary to do the treatment again after 2 weeks and in some places the little thing came out again. Well, we muffled it with the rest of the funds.In my opinion, Cucaracha is a great tool! Valentina, St. Petersburg

Quick cockroach death
If cockroaches run around the kitchen, then you are at risk. Insects will not eat you. They can infect some unpleasant disease, pests spoil food and make the overall appearance of housing somewhat unpleasant. It’s not necessary to catch cockroaches - it’s difficult and useless.
It is much more efficient to use special products, which are sold in a wide assortment by the respective stores.
One of them is Cucaracha from cockroaches. What are its advantages, how quickly does it kill insects and are there any safety precautions?
Composition and route of exposure
Cucaracha is an emulsion packaged in bottles. The main active ingredients are malathion and cypermethrin.
They are very powerful, especially when combined with each other. An insect that has come under their influence will lose its life in 30 minutes. The indicator is not absolute, it all depends on the characteristics of cockroaches in a particular region, but the figure is impressive!
This is not all - the emulsion sticks to the cockroach paws, the poison is in the nest. Its congeners are infected, and insects die massively.
The action of the insecticide lasts 30 days, during this time there will be no new cockroaches. There is a minus - the eggs will remain uninfected, so after applying Kukarachi, you will need to carry out additional processing of the room.
Instructions for use
Kukarach cannot be smeared on the surface immediately after opening the bottle - you need to prepare a working solution. To do this, 3 ml of the emulsion should be diluted in a liter of water. Please note that for maximum efficiency, the water should be cool, not icy.
The room must be prepared for processing:
- pets and plants are cleaned (we send children after them);
- general cleaning is done;
- food is cleaned in the refrigerator, the refrigerator is sealed with tape.
After that, the solution is sprayed with a spray at the places of the most dense accumulation of insects. Particular attention should be paid to the various slots, the space behind the skirting boards and the rear walls of the furniture.
Spray the ventilation grilles, especially if you are sure that insects come from neighbors. Regardless of the results, after 14 days should be re-processing. The procedure is necessary for the complete extermination of insects, which may have been preserved in secluded corners.
Safety precautions
Cucaracha is very poisonous. It can lead to fatal poisoning of pets, and a person can seriously suffer from exposure to chemicals. For safety, you should:
- use protective gloves and a mask (it is best to cover the whole body with overalls);
- after processing, the room should be left for 5 hours, leaving the windows open for ventilation.
Also, within 2-3 hours you need to carefully "listen" to your health. If poisoning has occurred, then the following symptoms will be:
- nausea;
- Strong headache;
- cramps
- dizziness;
- violation of coordination.
If signs of intoxication persist for more than 2 hours, then you should definitely contact your doctor - this is vital!

Very powerful insecticide - all pests died in a day. But my dog was poisoned - she vomited, convulsions started. Symptoms of poisoning passed by themselves after a few hours. This once again emphasizes the need for safety. Mikhail, Lipetsk
Remedy for cockroaches Cucaracha
The insecticide with the funny name Cucaracha from cockroaches is used quite often. The tool is inexpensive, does not lose its properties for a long time and does not cause addiction in living creatures.
But he has enough minuses. In addition, in terms of effectiveness, this poison is inferior to professional treatment. Before deciding on self-persecution, it is worthwhile to find out how Cucaracha acts on cockroaches and whether parasites have a chance of survival.
The mechanism of action on cockroaches
This drug against cockroaches has a contact effect on animals. When the poison enters the body of the parasite, it paralyzes the nerve impulses of the whiskered evil spirits.
Cockroaches are very gluttonous and quickly swallow the bait. In addition, for example, Cucaracha gel contains edible ingredients that the Prussians like.
One of the properties of an insecticide is a long-term effect. The death of the Prussians occurs within half an hour. In addition, in 2-3 days, cockroaches manage to infect relatives by transferring the poison to their colony. As for the duration of the drug, it retains its properties for up to a month.
Composition and release forms
Cucaracha is a combined poison from cockroaches. The chemical contains two active substances: cypermethrin and malathion.
The first component has a detrimental effect on the nervous system of cockroaches, leading to paralysis and rapid death. Malathion is also a powerful substance, poisoning the Prussians through the respiratory tract. Such a complex destroys adult cockroaches and larvae, but does not affect eggs.
Such chemistry from cockroaches comes in several forms:
- The emulsion that is used most often.
- Gel Cucaracha. It is convenient to use if the apartment is small and there are not too many cockroaches.
- Cucaracha in granules. They are placed on substrates in places where pests accumulate.
The liquid for the preparation of the working solution is sold in 50 ml liter bottles and bottles. For the disinsection of a three-room apartment, one bottle is enough.
Instructions for use
Since the product is very toxic, the instructions for use should be followed as accurately as possible. Before poisoning animals, you need to read how to breed Cucaracha. The emulsion cannot be poured onto the surface; first you have to prepare the solution.
On average, 5 ml of concentrate is required per liter of water. To combat bugs, fleas and other insects, half of this dose is enough.
Water should be cool, but not icy: it will be much more effective. Mix the liquid with a special tool, which is not a pity to throw it away.
The resulting solution is sprayed throughout the apartment. At the same time, you need to look into each slot, because cunning cockroaches can hide everywhere.
The granules on the substrates are laid out one teaspoon each. For every 10 meters of area, 3-5 substrates are required. The gel is applied with a dotted line around the perimeter of the apartment. This form is convenient in that a person does not come into contact with a toxic substance.
Observance of safety measures during the work with poisonous Kukaracha is very important. The instructions say how to use it correctly. Protective equipment must be taken care of in advance: it is best if the whole body is covered with overalls. Do not allow the product to get on the skin or mucous membranes.
When the bullying is finished, wash your hands well with soap. Then the pest must leave the apartment for at least 5 hours, leaving the windows open.
After work, you should listen to your feelings. If signs of intoxication appear, such as a lack of coordination or a headache, it is best to consult a doctor.
Keep Kukarachu in a cool, dark place out of the reach of children. Sunlight should not fall on it, otherwise processing will not bring any benefit. In a closed package, the product is stored for 2 years, and the working solution will have to be used immediately.
Where to buy Kukarachu and how much
An important question for the owners is where to buy the product. It is sometimes found in household departments and outlets for gardeners. Addresses stores tell any search engine.
If you don’t feel like wasting time looking, you should look into the online store. You can order such a tool online in a few minutes, besides the prices on the network are lower. True, you need to ask about the cost of delivery, which is usually paid separately.
The cost of a tube of gel is 55-60 rubles. Granules are sold in bags of 50 grams and cost 45-50 rubles. Given that it takes 5 grams of the product per substrate, bullying will require a few sachets.
You can buy an emulsion of cockroach from cockroaches in Moscow or St. Petersburg for 350-400 rubles. In order not to run into a fake, it is better to look at the photo in advance what the chemical looks like. It is advisable to buy it on the official website of the dealer, where they are always ready to provide the necessary certificates.
Pros and cons of funds
The remedy for cockroaches Cucaracha has several advantages over other insecticides:
- Fairly low price. For example, Raptor or Raid are 25-50% more expensive.
- The possibility of reuse thanks to cypermethrin, which is not addictive in pests.
- The insecticide begins to work after half an hour and retains protective properties for a long time.
- A wide range of actions. According to the manufacturer, the poison helps against cockroaches, bugs, fleas and other insects.
- No need to look long for where to buy Kukarachu. If it will not be in stores, then there is always a chemical on the Internet.
Among the shortcomings can be called a danger to people and animals - the chemical belongs to the third class of toxicity.
Another minus of poison is the lack of effect on oviposition. In most cases, the insecticidal agent must be sprayed again after two weeks.
Customer reviews
Reviews about Kukarache against cockroaches are very different. There are people who believe that this is the most effective tool, but some complain about the lack of results. Before treating the apartment with poison, you should find out what customers think about it:
- Review 1. Irina, Moscow: “When we were overcome by cockroaches, we read on the forum that Kukaracha was the best remedy for this infection. In the nearest stores such chemistry was not found, I had to order on the Internet with delivery. It was possible to remove the insects, but had to tinker: the processing was carried out three times. I can say that the drug helps, but only SES will help to quickly destroy these creatures. ”
- Review 2. Natalya, Novosibirsk: “A completely useless drug. I really hoped for this tool to destroy cockroaches, and customer reviews were good. Maybe I came across a fake, but Cucaracha did not help at all. Insects were not afraid of poison, and every day they became more and more. I had to urgently call the disinfection service. ”
Given how much the drug costs, processing an apartment in Kukarachei will cost you a lot. But even such a toxic agent does not help in all cases.
And cockroaches breed quickly, and valuable time will be lost. The only way to quickly exterminate pests is to invite SES professionals.
Specialists of this useful service act as ambulance. They are ready around the clock to come and save the apartment from unpleasant insects.
The work uses proven insecticides that are safe for the health of residents. For furniture and expensive equipment, you can also not worry: they are processed as carefully as possible.
The result of professional harassment will not disappoint customers. For all their services, pest controllers provide a guarantee. Repeated elimination may not be required, but if some of the insects still survive, the team will come again and destroy the remaining pests. The result of the work of specialists is cleanliness, comfort in the house and peace of the whole family.
