Application of Butox in veterinary medicine and disinfection of premises

The health of a pet depends significantly not only on the right food. Parasites that carry various infections and cause many other problems constantly strive to settle inside the animal’s body or on its fur. Ticks, helminths and fleas on a pet are a matter of concern for a caring owner.

With the help of a modern drug called “Butox”, it is possible to solve the problem of getting rid of parasites and provide your animal with a comfortable and healthy life.

Butox-50 AgroZooVet OLKAR.

COMPOSITION AND RELEASE FORM The emulsifying concentrate contains 5% of the synthetic pyrethroid deltamethrin.
In appearance it is a light yellow oily liquid, emulsifies well in water, with a weak specific odor. 1 liter of concentrate contains 50 g of deltamethrin. Packaged in ampoules of 1 ml. PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES Butox 50 has a wide spectrum of insecticidal and acaricidal action, is active against ixodid, scabies, chicken, cat mites, flies, midges, bedbugs and other ectoparasites of animals. Having entered the body of arthropods, deltamethrin contact or enterally accumulates in the ganglia of peripheral nerves and inhibits their activity. It disrupts the coordination of the pathogen's movements, then causing its paralysis, lethargy and death. The drug is moderately toxic to warm-blooded animals; in recommended doses and concentrations it does not have a local irritant or allergenic effect. Effective against ectoparasites resistant to phosphorus and organochlorine compounds. Toxic to fish and bees. INDICATIONS To combat animal ectoparasites (ixodid mites, scabies mites, lice, lice eaters, flies, horseflies, bedbugs, midges and others). DOSES AND METHOD OF APPLICATION Butox 50 is used only for external treatment of animals and premises. Immediately before use, prepare an aqueous working emulsion of the drug. Animals are treated by spraying or bathing. Buying animals Before carrying out mass treatments, each batch of Butox 50 is first tested on a small group of animals (10 - 15 heads) of varying fatness and age, which are monitored for 2 - 3 days. If there are no complications, treatment of the entire livestock of animals begins. After cleaning the bathtub for bathing, make a preliminary mixture of the required amount of Butox 50 (in accordance with the dosage for bathing). Distribute the solution throughout the entire container, then stir for 10 minutes. To get a perfect emulsion, you first need to pass 20 animal stirrers through the container. After the animals have removed 10% of the total volume of working fluid from the bath, it is replenished to the original level. In this case, 0.9 liters of Butox 50 is added to each ton of added water. Make sure that the first 20 animals wash again during the bathing course. Before treatment, animals should not be tired and should not be thirsty. Treatment in very hot weather is not recommended. After treating 2.5 - 3 thousand sheep, the acaricidal liquid is poured into settling wells, preventing it from entering water bodies or rivers. The bath is thoroughly cleaned of dirt and washed with water, which is also drained into settling wells. Spraying animals Before using Butox 50, it is necessary to make a preliminary mixture in 1 liter of water, add it to the required amount of water in the spray tank and mix thoroughly. During each course of treatment, a minimum of 3 liters of diluted product must be used per animal. The sequence of spraying the animal: ears, head, body, tail, area around the anus, limbs. Particular attention must be paid to the affected areas. Do not wash off the drug

It is not recommended to spray against the wind. Dosage

Frequency and dosage of use

According to the instructions for use, in the fight against lice eaters and fleas you will need a dose of Butox dissolved in 3-4 liters of water.

In the fight against ticks, Butox is used in a more concentrated form - 1 ml per 1.3 liters of water. The same solution is used for preventive purposes. It is used during peak pest activity, treating the animal every week.

Dog scabies are treated with 1 ml of emulsion diluted in 1 liter of water. The main thing is to follow the dosage and be sure to re-treat no later than after 10 days.

These dosages are given for the administration of a bathing solution.

If you decide to spray an animal, then you need to dissolve the appropriate amount of emulsion in a liter of water:

1. For scabies – 1 ml per liter.
2. For ticks – 0.7 ml per liter.
3. For fleas – 0.4 ml per liter.

The concentration of Butox solution depends on the purpose for which it will be used.
You need to spray the animal starting from the head and moving towards the tail. Paws and tail should be treated at the very end of the procedure.

Butox does not irritate the skin and does not cause side effects if the drug is used according to the instructions.

Indications for use of Butoxcept

Butoxcept is effective against fleas, lice, ixodid and scabies mites, weevils, whipworms, flies, mosquitoes, and to a lesser extent against bedbugs.

Instructions for use Butoxcept in ampoules also recommend the drug against parasites in loose products such as flour, beans, etc. But processing products with Butox is fraught with the product entering the body. And this can lead to poisoning or allergies.

So it is better to throw out contaminated products and treat the place where they were, for example, a pantry, with Butoxcept, in order to prevent parasites from re-entering new products. You can sort out the beans. As a rule, weevils infect no more than 25% of legumes within 3 months. Here we have already covered the question of how to deal with weevils.

General recommendations

Butox50 is a highly effective means of combating exoparasites and in some cases can have a sanitizing effect on a number of pathogens due to its pesticide action. When purchasing Butox 50 in ampoules, the instructions for it contain a detailed description of the procedure for treating your pet.

It's not difficult, but it does require some precautions.

The key feature of Butox is its low price; as a rule, you can buy the product in veterinary pharmacies in the form of one ampoule. Its cost is significantly lower than other “pipette” drugs that are used for treatment, and its effectiveness is much higher.

Also for Butox 50, the instructions for use contain information on the treatment of tick-borne infestations in animals. Moreover, treating your pet will cost a minimal amount, the effectiveness will be very high, and the toxicity will be low.

Despite the fact that few pet owners know about this quality of Butox, it is a highly effective drug for a number of diseases. It is distinguished by low toxicity, price and high efficiency in the fight against a number of parasitoses in animals.

In some cases, subject to safety rules, it can be used to treat a person under the supervision of a doctor. For example, for complex scabies, mites infestation of the scalp. Treatment is carried out once every 7-10 days, without violating the dosage.

Drug price

You can buy Butox at a veterinary pharmacy, a specialty store, or you can order online. The price of Butox for treating an apartment in ampoules is 90 rubles. per package. You can purchase 1 ampoule - the price is about 20 rubles. A canister with 1 liter of concentrate is sold via the Internet. The cost is within 4000 rubles.

Analogues of Butox

Due to the high cost, many people prefer to buy Butox analogues. These include;

• Bayofly;
• Sebacil 50;
• Neocidol;
• Butoxcept;
• Ectosan.

Can be stored for 3 years from the date of manufacture away from sunlight. Dilute before use, use the prepared solution within 24 hours.

How to use Butox for bedbugs

To kill bed bugs, you need to dilute 1 ml of the product in 1.3 liters of water. In case of massive infection of the premises, it is recommended to use the solution once a week for 2-4 weeks. If the effect is not enough, make a more powerful concentrate - 1 ml of product per 1 liter of water.

Before using Butox you need to prepare the room:

1. We move all the furniture from the periphery of the room to the center.
2. We disassemble, if possible, the structure of the bed for independent cleaning of bedbugs.
3. We remove all wall accessories.
4. We remove food, medicines, personal hygiene products, plants, and accessories for animals from the premises.
5. We carry out dry cleaning first and then wet cleaning.
6. Open the windows to ensure adequate ventilation in the room.

Next, we move on to treatment, which consists of applying the product with a spray bottle or other convenient device to the “favorite” places of bed mites. First we process the baseboards, doorways, and window frames.

Pharmacology

Pyrethroids are able to interact with lipids of the skin, as well as plant leaves. The water and organic solvent evaporate and the waxy substance adheres to the fats. For warm-blooded creatures, pyrethroids are low-toxic because they are almost not absorbed, remaining on the surface of the skin. The second defense mechanism is the rapid destruction of the active substance to harmless compounds. Cold-blooded animals do not have defensive devices, so the pyrethroid, when it gets onto the surface of the body or into the intestines of the insect, deactivates acetylcholine. The functioning of the nervous system is disrupted, paralysis occurs, and the arthropod dies

When working with Butox 50 and other drugs containing pyrethroids, caution is required. Drops that fall on a flower plant will kill the bees, and if the drug spills on the soil and then washes off with rain into the river, the fish will die

Compound

The active principle of Butox is deltamethrin, which is a synthetic pyrethroid. Dalmatian chamomile (pyrethrum) is known to repel insects, and the powder made from the flowers has long been used against bedbugs. Deltamethrin is a waxy substance that is insoluble in water. Therefore, an auxiliary component of the drug is an organic eluent. The insecticide is sometimes called Butox 50 because it is a 5% deltamethrin solution. It is an oily liquid with the smell of kerosene, capable of forming a stable emulsion with milky water.

Purpose

According to the instructions, Butox is used to destroy crawling and flying arthropods on animals, walks, pastures, and in premises including housing. The drug has a protective effect. You should not bathe the animal three days before and the same time after treatment.

Butox 50, like other pesticides, does not affect arthropod eggs, so you need to wait three days until the larvae hatch

In order for them to become poisoned, it is important not to dilute the pesticide. It is believed that the toxicity of pyrethroids for warm-blooded animals is 2000 times less than for cold-blooded animals.

But this is in case of contact with skin. Therefore, when working with Butox and analogues, it is necessary to protect your eyes, nostrils, and mouth.

Active ingredient and principle of action

Deltamethrin is used as the main active ingredient of Butox. This is a highly effective insecticide from the pyrethroid group used in agriculture. Like most isomers of this group, the action of deltamethrin is based on the activity of chrysanthemum acid, the free radicals in the formula are bromine atoms. In its technical form, deltamethrin is insoluble in water, so in the household it is used in ready-made form in Butox ampoules of 1 ml, the contents of which are diluted in 3-4 liters of water and used for treating premises and animals.

Method of penetration and absorption - contact and intestinal pesticide. Butox is used only for external use; recommended doses do not cause allergies. The substance is widely used in the agricultural sector, in households and in medicine to combat a number of parasites, harmful and synanthropic insect species. The deltamethrin formula contains only 1 isomer, which has a strong insecticidal effect. To create the drug, the one that has the most powerful insecticidal effect of the 8 existing isomers was chosen.

All pyrethroids have a destructive effect on the insect’s nervous system, disrupting calcium metabolism in synapses, and act on potassium-sodium channels, disrupting acetylcholine metabolism. As a result of strong stimulation of the nervous system, exoparasites die, and the protective effect of the active substance lasts about 15 days.

Analogue preparations of deltamethrin contained in Butox include butoflin, splender, decamethrin and others. The preparations are used for spraying agricultural crops and controlling pests. For warm-blooded representatives of the animal world, including humans, deltamethrin and Butox are moderately toxic substances. It is not used near apiaries; residues are not poured into open ground near water bodies due to the high toxicity of the isomers to fish.

Butox instructions for use and effect of the drug

The low cost of Butox may give the wrong impression of its weak effectiveness. In fact, this drug has proven itself to be a fairly safe and effective remedy. When using the drug, it is recommended to ventilate the apartment so that the pungent and unpleasant odor disappears.

“Butox” makes it possible to get rid of the following types of parasites:

• lice eaters;
• fleas;
• mites;
• flies;
• lice;
• vile;
• bedbugs.

The main active element in the drug is the pyrethroid deltamethrin. The product itself has a yellow-gray color and an oily structure. The destruction of insects and parasites is explained by the concentration of the synthetic pyrethroid deltamethrin in the peripheral nervous system of the parasites, which leads to blockage of impulse neural activity and death.

Using Butox on the skin of cats and dogs

“Butox” - a drug available to every owner of a cat or dog, differs favorably from other drugs in that it can be effectively used both on the skin and during the treatment of any living space, as well as the immediate sleeping area of ​​the pet. Thus, the destruction of parasites is carried out in any possible places in which they may be hiding. This is an absolutely safe treatment for both animals and their owners.

This product is used externally in the form of an emulsion solution - both for spraying the skin and for bathing. The oily solution is prepared immediately before use; it is prohibited to store this composition “in reserve”. It is also prohibited to use Butox on sick animals. It is not advisable to wet the animal’s skin 3 days before treatment and after 3 days, otherwise the effectiveness of the drug will decrease.

• For treatment for preventive purposes or, if necessary, to get rid of ticks, a dose of Butox (1 ml) is mixed in 1.4 liters of water.
• To treat the skin of a pet, use 1 ml of solution mixed with 4–5 liters of water. Bathing in this composition will make it possible to completely get rid of fleas and lice.
• During scabies, “Butox” is diluted in the amount of 1 ml per liter of water, the surface of the animal’s skin is treated twice with a break between treatments of one week.
• In autumn or spring, especially when parasites are more active, you need to use this drug every week.

If for some reason it is not possible to bathe your pet, then the instructions allow you to resort to spraying the skin, gradually moving along the body in the direction from the tail to the ears and completing the treatment with the paws. For treatment, the amount of product used is diluted in one liter of water:

• 1 ml – against scabies mites;
• 5 ml – against ticks;
• 25 ml – against lice.

After treatment, it is necessary to prevent your pet from licking the drug from its body. Short-haired animals are disinfected using a soft sponge in individual parts of the body; for the best treatment result for long-haired pets, it is recommended to bathe the animal completely. There is no need to rinse off the product after swimming.

After treatment, a residual effect is observed for two weeks. When one procedure is not enough and it was not possible to destroy all the parasites at once, then it is repeated no earlier than two weeks later.

Treatment of residential premises

Residential premises where pets and their owners live can also be treated with Butox. It will not only lead to the death of all fleas and lice, but can also provide excellent assistance in the fight against other flying and crawling insects.

“Butox” in ampoules has shown itself to be excellent in the fight against ants, flies, cockroaches, bedbugs and many other harmful parasites. The living space is treated with the composition of the drug, which must be taken in an amount per 10 liters of water:

• from crawling insects – 35 ml;
• against flying parasites – 20 ml.

When the wall or floor structure being treated has a relatively smooth surface, then five liters of solution per 100 square meters is enough. m. room size. With a porous structure, you will need twice as much solution.

How to determine the presence of parasites?

Signals of the appearance of pests in the body of a pet can be:

• fast fatiguability;
• weakened immune system;
• depression;
• drowsiness;
• spasms in internal organs and various pains.

Cautions

The instructions for Butox fully followed. Precautionary measures will enable you to avoid trouble while using the drug:

• the drug should not get into your pet’s eyes, mouth or nose;
• it is necessary to handle a pet only using gloves;
• It is prohibited to use this product simultaneously with organophosphate insecticides;
• The product is not used for weakened animals, with open wounds, or on damaged skin areas;
• when an animal exhibits high sensitivity to this drug, its use must be stopped immediately;
• After extensive treatment, the fur must be completely dry; at this time, it is necessary to protect the pet from licking the fur.

The main advantages of Butox:

• quite convenient and easy to use;
• affordable price for every pet owner;
• the ability to purchase the product at almost any veterinary pharmacy;
• the presence of a residual effect;
• absolute effectiveness when fighting parasites and insects on cats and dogs.

Affordable pet care

To summarize, the product in ampoules is one of the most affordable drugs for combating a variety of skin parasites for dogs and cats, which is most effective during a single treatment and can destroy the majority of pests.

The most important difference between Butox and many drugs for the same purpose is the need to dilute the product to make an emulsion, and not immediately drip it onto the skin. The emulsion is applied to the entire skin, and not at individual points.

Instructions for use

The insecticide is sold in glass ampoules. The concentrate is strong and requires dilution according to the instructions before use.

How to prepare the solution?

To prepare the solution, you need to dilute the ampoule in water (4 l). A veterinarian will help you determine the required emulsion concentration for a specific parasitic insect.

It is necessary to dilute the composition immediately before use, since the properties of the drug are not preserved in a diluted form.

Animal handling

External disinsection of animals requires compliance with its own rules:

Treatment of livestock or pets can be done by bathing or spraying with a spray bottle. If you plan to fight ticks, preventive measures, the concentration of the drug should be increased. Particular attention is paid to the fight against parasites in spring and autumn

Since insects are active, preventive measures are carried out weekly. Some parasites are not so simple and require repeated procedures. To combat scabies, a week interval is maintained between manipulations. When spraying, it is important to avoid getting “butox” on the mucous membranes and in the digestive tract. In this case, the composition is sprayed over the entire surface - from head to tail. During the period of manipulation, the animal must be isolated

Contact with other pets is excluded. Short-haired breeds are wiped with a sponge soaked in the preparation.

Note! It is not advisable to sleep with animals, pet them or have close contact after the procedure. Still, “butox” has some toxic effects.

Premises treatment

Disinsection with “butox” does not pose a danger to animals, and nevertheless, the dosage prescribed in the instructions should be maintained. Aerosol irrigation of industrial and residential premises, places where animals are kept, is carried out simultaneously with the animals. The concentration is diluted depending on which ectoparasites are planned to be combated.

If the surfaces are smooth, the product consumption is two times less than for the same area with a porous structure. For example: in the first case, 5 liters of “butox” are consumed per 100 m2. If the product is used for crawling pests, use a 0.3% concentration. To destroy flying insects, dilute 7.5 cm 3 in 5 liters of water.

Disinfestation of the chicken coop is carried out in the absence of birds. Perform mechanical cleaning of the room and spray surfaces. It is advisable not to let the chickens run for several days. After processing, ventilate the barn.

If cats and dogs have caused increased flea activity in the apartment, irrigate all surfaces, carpets, floors, and the animals’ favorite resting places. To do this, add 1 ml of the drug to 1.5 liters of water. During the procedure, animals and family members should not be in the apartment.

Let's celebrate! Return is possible only after thorough ventilation. After two weeks, the disinfestation is repeated, since the eggs were not damaged as a result of the first procedure, so the larvae will definitely be born.

Pest control

Treating the premises with Butox
Butox against fleas in an apartment is used according to the general rules. The spray bottle or bottle is kept at a distance of 20 cm from the surface to be treated. Treatment begins in places where parasites may live, or where larvae have been found.

Be sure to spray baseboards, window sills, walls at a height of up to 2 m from the floor, furniture on the back side, animal bedding, and the entire floor surface.

Disinsection must be carried out in all rooms in the house, since fleas can live in any of them. Insects do not build nests, but scatter eggs wherever they can. However, the room where the pet’s sleeping place is located must be thoroughly processed.

Important!

Butox flea repellent kills most insects within the first 2 hours. However, it is worth leaving the drug on the surface for about another day. In this case, the product destroys the larvae that gradually emerge from the eggs. Insects do not have time to go through the entire development path, do not have time to reproduce, and the family of parasites is exterminated.

At the end of disinfestation, the room must be left closed for at least 2 hours. After this, ventilate thoroughly for the same amount. Wash in places where hands may touch. After 14 days, to consolidate the result, it is necessary to re-treat the room.

General description and composition

Butox is a universal insecticide used against entire groups of domestic pests. Butox can be used to kill fleas, lice, ixodid and scabies mites.

The product is available in the form of a concentrated emulsion, packaged in 1 ml ampoules, and also in the form of a solution. Composition of Butox:

• deltamethrin is the main active ingredient;
• catalysts;
• stabilizers;
• fragrance

First of all, you need to treat the structural elements of the bed, the space around and under it, around the furniture

It is important not to confuse “Butox 50” for removing fleas and ticks from animals with Butox solution for treating agricultural premises. The latter is available in 1 liter bottles

In general, both options can be used to kill bedbugs, but the second is more effective.

The average cost of 10 Butox 50 ampoules is 90 rubles. The cost of the solution is 50 rubles per 10 ml (enough to treat one large room). The easiest way to purchase the product is at pet stores or household chemical stores.

How does Butox act on bedbugs, and how effective is the product? (+video)

Butox works on the same principle as most other insecticides. When the parasite comes into contact with the drug, it becomes infected, which slowly but surely affects the insect’s nervous system.

This period lasts several hours, after which the parasite dies. During the time that his nervous system “fails,” the parasite manages to infect other relatives. The bonus is that you can partially eliminate the problem with cockroaches.

Bed bug corpses will still contain a large dose of poison, so when cockroaches eat the corpses, the latter will also be infected. But Butox is not a specialized remedy against cockroaches, which is why it has such a scourge. it will help only partially.

The big problem with the drug is that it does not affect the clutches of parasites. This means that several repeated treatments of the room are necessary so that the hatched offspring are also infected. Usually 2-3 repeated treatments over 1-2 months are sufficient.

It is strictly not recommended to use Butox and other insecticides at the same time. The exception is specialized insecticidal products aimed at destroying the clutches of domestic parasites. In this case, the effect of the treatment will be extremely powerful.

Is the product dangerous for humans and pets?

Butox is a fairly aggressive and toxic substance, but if used correctly, the product will not harm either pets or humans. Serious harm can occur if the solution is accidentally swallowed or gets on mucous membranes.

To avoid intoxication, we carry out processing work in protective clothing. We use rubber gloves, construction glasses, a change of clothes with long sleeves, a respirator or even a gas mask.

When processing, windows should be open to allow fresh air to flow. But do not allow drafts - the doors must be closed. This way you will prevent both drafts and the penetration of product vapors into other rooms.

Composition and release form

The main component of the product is deltamethrin, which belongs to the group of pyrethroids of synthetic origin. It has long been known that pyrethrum can repel various insects.

It is very convenient that the drug can be bought in the quantity you need

The active component does not dissolve in water, as it is similar to wax. An auxiliary component is an organic eluent. The drug is often called Butox 50, because it is a 5% deltamethrin solution. The insecticide is an oily liquid with an unpleasant odor of kerosene, which forms a whitish emulsion. The product can be produced in different packages, starting from 1 ml glass ampoules and ending with 1 liter metal containers.

Pharmacology of the drug

Pyrethroids can come into contact with skin lipids. In this case, the solvent and water evaporate, and waxy substances join the fats. For all warm-blooded organisms, pyrethroids are practically non-toxic, since they remain on the surface and are not absorbed.

At the next stage of protection, the active substance is destroyed into harmless compounds . In cold-blooded organisms, the body does not have protective functions, so when the pyrethroid ends up on the insect's body or in its intestines, it deactivates acetylcholine. As a result, the arthropod experiences paralysis, after which it quickly dies.

The instructions for using Butox in veterinary medicine warn: when working with the drug, you need to be extremely careful . If the drug gets into the soil near the river, the fish will die, if it gets on a honey plant, the bees will die.

Video instructions about the qualities of this drug:

Precautionary measures

According to the instructions for use of Butoxcept 5 ml, this drug is moderately toxic for humans.

When working with it, you need to be careful, protecting your skin and face from the emulsion.

To do this, you should wear goggles, gloves, special clothing and a respirator. If the concentrate gets on your skin, you should immediately remove it with a stream of water. And before starting work, it is recommended to drink 7-10 tablets of activated carbon.

Butox 1 ml cannot be used on mammals that are under one year old or sick. It is also prohibited to combine Butox with organophosphate drugs. It is better to process cows during dry periods or give their milk to animals.

The drug should be stored in non-residential premises where there is no heating, since Butox contains a solvent that evaporates. The shelf life of the drug is 4 years at a storage temperature of -15...+40°C.

It is not recommended to consume milk from cows that have recently been processed

Efficiency

The domestic drug is much more effective than the imported one. A foreign product works great outside our country or in the first year of its appearance on the Russian market. Subsequently, this drug begins to be diluted, which reduces its beneficial properties. For example, spraying dogs

Butox has long been the most effective means of combating external parasites in Russia. The cost of the drug in large containers (especially for farmers) is much cheaper than in ampoules. The only negative is that the protection against ectoparasites is short-lived. It is necessary to repeat the treatment after 10 days due to the development characteristics of insects.

How consumers respond to the drug

Consumers who have used Butox-50 are usually divided into two camps: satisfied and dissatisfied. Satisfied people note the high effectiveness of the drug in the complex treatment of animals and the premises in which they are kept. They are also pleased with the low cost of the drug Butox-50, the price of which, we repeat, is about one hundred rubles per package (5 ampoules). Dissatisfied people complain about the degree of toxicity of the drug, as some experience allergic reactions. Some note a deterioration in the health of their pets and attribute this to drug poisoning.

The third category of livestock breeders believes that treating pets with Butox is already outdated, and prefers to use other flea and tick remedies that are more convenient to use, such as drops, sprays and collars.

Some consumers add the product to water and wash the floor to prevent and kill parasites. As a result, parasites do not appear or disappear.

Advantages and disadvantages of Butox-50

Like all drugs, Butox-50 in ampoules has a number of disadvantages:

• presence of a strong unpleasant odor;
• age restrictions (the drug is not used to treat animals under six months);
• the result does not appear instantly, but a day after application.

Along with this, the product also has a number of advantages:

• high level of efficiency;
• low level of toxicity;
• Availability: “Butox-50”, the price of which is on average 100 rubles, can be purchased at any pharmacy.

User experience with Butox

Customer reviews about the action of Butox confirm its effectiveness. Users note the presence of an odor that disappears 1–2 days after using the drug. The effect against parasites is observed after a day of treatment.

Many people prefer washing floors with a Butox solution to fine-drop spraying. This way you can avoid contact of toxic substances with objects that do not need treatment, and reduce the risk of butox getting on mucous membranes from the surrounding air. If there are pets in the apartment, they must be treated for parasites at the same time.

When it comes to direct treatment of pets, many people prefer other forms of flea treatment: drops on the withers, collars, sprays, shampoos. The drug market is large and users find the safest and most convenient products for treating pets.

How does the drug work?

Butoxcept accumulates in muscle tissue and ganglia (nerve ganglia) of parasites. Death does not occur instantly. In the case of instant death from most insecticidal septic tanks, the parasite's muscles cramp. As a result, after death, the same flea remains in the animal’s skin.

For different insects, the following are the effective periods of the product:

1. Fleas, lice – 2 months.
2. Mites, except scabies – 1.5 months.
3. Flies, whipworms - 1 month.
4. Scabies mites – 0.5 months.

Butox-50 in ampoules, instructions for use, analogues

Reviews of this drug often receive praise. What causes this? Let's figure out what the features of this tool are and how to use it correctly. The antiparasitic agent “Butox-50” looks like an oily liquid of light yellow color, which has a specific odor, not very pronounced. For use at home, use “Butox-50” in ampoules, which allows you to correctly and without much effort prepare an active solution that is safe for others. For convenience, the ampoules are packed in cardboard boxes of five pieces.

“Butox-50,” the instructions for use of which are in the package, is used to kill fleas, lice, lice, chicken mites, scabies and ixodid mites, as well as flies, mosquitoes and bedbugs.

The working solution of the drug must be prepared immediately before use. To do this, the concentrated Butox-50 emulsion is diluted with cool tap water in proportions that depend on what parasites are to be fought:

• Lice, fleas, lice eaters - 1 ampoule (1 ml) per 4 liters of water. Repeated treatment is carried out after a month.
• Ixodid ticks - 1 dose per 1.5 liters of water. The second treatment should be carried out after 2 weeks, and after that - as necessary.
• Scabies mites - 1 ampoule per 1 liter. Not only the affected area should be treated, but also the area around it. After a week and a half, the event is repeated.

Calculate the required concentration of the drug using the general formula:

(A*B)/C=X, where A is the required concentration of the working solution; B—required amount of emulsion (ml); C is the content of the active substance in the solution (%); X is the amount of concentrate (5%) required to prepare 1 liter of working fluid.

For example, you need to prepare a liter of solution with a concentration of 0.004%. The data is substituted into the formula and you get:

X= (0.004%*1000 ml) / 5%

X= 0.8 ml

This means that in order to prepare 1 liter of 0.004% solution, you need to take 0.8 ml of concentrate (5%); for 10 l - 8 ml of Butox (8 ampoules), which is diluted in a small amount of water and poured into a prepared container, then adjusted to the required volume.

Analogues of Butox-50 are the following drugs:

• "Neocidol";
• "Neostomazan";
• "Sebacil 50%";
• "Ektosan";
• "Biofly";
• "Deltalan-50".

Use of the drug "Butox-50"

Instructions for use suggest using the product exclusively for external use. Animals and premises are treated with the solution. The application rate of the drug depends on the type of pest.
