Security measures

Processing must be carried out in protective clothing, glasses and a respirator. The drug is low-toxic for humans, but its contact with the skin is undesirable, and in the eyes is unacceptable. You also need to exclude the entry of vapors into the lungs, that is, the bucket must be kept as far away from you as possible. During processing, it is forbidden to drink, take food, be distracted by conversations and foreign objects.

First aid comes down to the following measures:

• If the drug gets on the skin, you must immediately remove it with a clean cloth or cotton wool, being careful not to rub the product. After that, the skin is immediately washed with warm water and soap or soda solution.
• If the product gets into the eyes, they are washed under running water for 10-15 minutes.
• If the agent has got into the lungs, you must immediately stop work, change clothes and consult a doctor.
• If it gets inside, you should immediately rinse your mouth, try to spit out the liquid. Then take 2-3 tablets of activated carbon and wash them down with water.

If the alarming symptoms that have arisen after contact with the drug do not disappear within a few hours, you should immediately seek medical help.

The drug is stored in a wide temperature range - allowed from -15^aboutFrom to +30^aboutC. At the same time, it must be protected from fire, excluded from direct sunlight, kept out of the reach of children. Do not keep the product near food, feed, etc. The finished solution can be stored in an inaccessible place for several days, but it is advisable to immediately use the entire working solution.

What could go wrong?

As a rule, you should not expect instant destruction of all pests. "Akarin" gradually penetrates the body of an insect or arachnid, after which the active substance slowly kills the nervous system. In addition, it will take considerable time for insects to come into contact with the liquid. Therefore, the maximum effect under the condition of calm weather occurs on the 5-6th day, ie, almost a week after spraying.

It is worth remembering that the effectiveness of the drug is reduced if the treatment is carried out:

• in an area where there are a lot of weeds;
• on plants with strongly deformed, curled leaves;
• in rainy and / or windy weather, when precipitation quickly removes the components of the preparation from the leaves.

Therefore, it is optimal to thoroughly weed the bed or garden before processing, and the procedure itself should be planned for a clear, calm day (light wind is allowed).

Thus, "Akarin" is a fairly effective tool that allows you to completely destroy most of the known pests. Among the most tangible advantages of the drug is the lack of resistance in pests. Therefore, summer residents often have enough even 1-2 treatments per season.
