Traps
The Forsythe cockroach trap is a cardboard house with an interior coated with a special sticky substance. Inside the "house" is a treat for the cockroaches. The insects sense the scent and are drawn to it. They crawl into the trap through special holes and become stuck to the sticky layer. There's no escape from this trap.
The trap will help get rid of cockroaches if they have not yet managed to multiply in large numbers.
The sticky trap has a lifespan of three months. However, if it becomes filled with dead insects before this time, it must be thrown away and a new one installed in its place.
Traps are set in cases where it is not possible to use other means for some reason.
The following characteristics are considered to be the advantages of this type of drug:
- Sticky traps are safe for human health;
- The composition does not include harmful components and toxins.
The disadvantages include:
- a trap filled with dead cockroaches has a rather unpleasant appearance;
- This trap does not work on insect larvae, which means you will have to use it constantly.
A house infested with cockroaches looks disgusting.
Using a cockroach trap is simple: just install it in the place where insects are most often found. Make sure that children and pets do not have access to it.
Installation process:
- Print the box.
- Fold it along the marked strips.
- Remove the protective film from the adhesive layer.
- Unpack the tablet-shaped bait.
- Place the tablet in the center of the sticky mass.
- Close the trap.
The price of one trap-house is about 50 rubles.

Gel
The gel is available in special 30-milliliter syringes. One package is sufficient to treat a room of up to 70 square meters.
The drug can be used in children's and medical institutions.
The composition includes:
- insecticidal agent prometrin 20%;
- cockroach-attracting fragrances;
- flavor additives;
- bitter substances that prevent pets from eating the gel (however, cockroaches do not sense the bitter taste, so they eat the bait willingly).
The gel can be used at home and in public spaces. Insects begin to die within one to two days after the first application. The validity period is two weeks. After which the gel needs to be applied again.
Forsythe gel rids the premises not only of cockroaches, but also of ants.
Before applying the gel, close all water containers and faucets. This is to prevent cockroaches from accessing the water. After all, ingesting the gel doesn't kill the insects instantly. They return to their fellow insects, where they infect them through their feces. The product kills cockroaches from the inside, and drinking water can reduce its effectiveness.
The gel should be applied pointwise. This should be done wearing rubber gloves. Seven to eight drops of the product are sufficient for one square meter of space.
Gloves will protect your hands from getting the insecticide on your skin.
The advantages of this type of drug include:
- has no unpleasant odors;
- the product is safe for humans;
- Suitable for use in computer and telecommunication systems.
The only drawback is that the gel is not very convenient to use.
The price for one syringe of gel is 80 rubles.
Liquid
Forsythe in liquid form is a golden-colored concentrate from which an emulsion must be prepared.
Be careful when using antiparasitic treatment and strictly follow the instructions for the drug.
The liquid contains:
- the main substance is fenthion;
- solvent;
- stabilizer;
- fragrance;
- antioxidant.
The drug does not pose a danger to human health, but it is lethal to cockroaches. When it comes into contact with the insect's body, the liquid affects its nervous system, causing paralysis of the internal organs. The product can kill cockroaches at any stage of their development, except for eggs, which are protected by a special shell that prevents liquid from penetrating. However, immediately after turning into a larva, the cockroach encounters liquid and dies.
When using Forsyte cockroach control solution, follow the instructions exactly. Prepare the solution immediately before use. Dilute 50 milliliters of solution (one bottle) in one liter of water. The water temperature should be 50–65 °C. Algorithm for working with liquid against cockroaches:
- They clean the house or apartment.
- Close the windows and doors.
- Put on a respirator, gloves, and a protective suit.
Before spraying the product, be sure to use protective equipment against toxins.
- Spray the solution onto floors, baseboards, back walls of furniture, the space under the bathtub, sinks, trash cans, and also sewer pipes.
Spray the resulting solution on all possible places where cockroaches congregate, as well as nesting sites.
- In this way, all rooms where cockroaches were noticed are treated.
- After treatment, leave the premises for two hours.
- Then the apartment or house is ventilated for half an hour.
- Wet cleaning is carried out.
Forsyte liquid is classified as a low-toxicity product (toxicity class IV), but it is important to strictly observe safety precautions when working with pesticides. People and pets should be kept away from the area. Anyone spraying the area must wear protective clothing and a respirator, as the product has an unpleasant odor.
Gloves, goggles and a respirator will protect your health from dangerous consequences.
Cockroach liquid has the best results in controlling cockroaches. It also offers other benefits:
- versatility (the liquid can be used not only in residential premises, but also in offices, public areas, etc.);
- fights all stages of insect development;
- retains its properties for 4–5 months;
- the drug is economical: one bottle of liquid is enough for 40 square meters of space;
- affordable price - a 50 ml bottle costs about 250 rubles.
The disadvantages of the liquid include the toxicity of the drug and the need to use protective equipment.
The dangers of Foresight funds
The most dangerous product from Forsyte is its insecticidal liquid against cockroaches. It poses a danger to both humans and pets. If the product comes into contact with the skin, it will cause redness and irritation.
The absence of even one means of protection can have a negative impact on health.
If it gets into eyes, the product causes loss of vision. Therefore, it is very important to use all possible protective equipment when treating a room with liquid.
Liquid vapors can cause fainting, poisoning, and allergic reactions. If ingested, the drug can cause severe poisoning.
The preparation must be sprayed using a spray bottle, which must be washed with soap and water after use, but it is better to simply throw it away.
To avoid harmful substances getting into liquids during subsequent uses of the spray bottle, it is better to throw it away.
There is no need to be afraid of the liquid after it dries; in this state it is completely safe.
If you are unsure of your ability to comply with all safety requirements when using the liquid, it is better to use other Forsyte products—traps and gel—as they are completely safe and will not cause health problems.
Reviews
My friend and I rented an apartment in Moscow together and paid six months in advance. But when we moved in, we discovered the cockroach infestation was through the roof. My mom recommended Forsyth. We decided to buy the whole range just in case, so we treated it with gel and liquid, and set out traps. The cardboard houses were incredibly disgusting, so we decided not to repeat the experiment. But the other treatments worked perfectly—we no longer have any cockroaches.
I hesitated for a long time to try glue traps for cockroaches, unsure of their effectiveness without toxins. But the price—only 150 rubles—played a role. Figuring it was worth the money, I made the purchase. The results were mixed: dozens and hundreds of cockroaches died, but the population didn't disappear completely. I think the Forsyth trap is ideal for situations where there are only a few cockroaches, but it's certainly not effective for a severe infestation.
When choosing a Forsyth product, consider the number of cockroaches in your home. If there aren't many, sticky traps and gel will suffice. However, if there are a large number of pests, you should use an insecticidal liquid. However, it's important to remember the necessary precautions and protective equipment.
