ARS Ansu Cockroach Medicine How about brand introduction

Ansu belongs to Ace Pharmaceutical, which is the No. 1 insecticide brand in Japan, with a market share of more than 50% in Japan. In 1990, Japan Asa Pharmaceutical opened a production base in Tianjin, which became its production center in the Asia-Pacific region, and Ansu products can be easily purchased in China.
 
Ansu cockroach killing products are relatively complete, basically covering all mainstream cockroach killing methods. In terms of physical cockroach killing, Ansu has cockroach house products, compared with the general brand of cockroach house, Ansu Xiaoqiang Restoration Cockroach House is more detailed in design, there is a degreasing carpet mat design at the entrance, and the stickers on it can absorb the oil and moisture on the cockroach's body, and when the cockroach enters the internal sticky board, it is not easy to escape.
 
Cockroaches usually have a small range of activities, often hiding in the crevices, the cockroach house is difficult to fully control the number of cockroaches, in addition to the fixed point to remove a small range of cockroaches, the cockroach house is also used to detect whether there are hidden cockroaches in the house, when you find that there is prey in the cockroach house, you know that you should carry out cockroach removal work.
 
In terms of cockroach bait, Ansu has two formulations, one is the chemical agent 0.05% fipronil, and the other is the 35% boric acid formula. Fipronil was once a widely used insecticide in agriculture, but it degrades slowly in the environment and is highly toxic to aquatic organisms and bees and other animals, so it is banned by the Ministry of Agriculture and can only be used for sanitary pesticide or non-edible animals, such as the active ingredient of the pet deworming drug Fulion is also fipronil.
 
In the confined environment test, 0.05% fipronil has a good killing effect on both German cockroaches and American cockroaches, and can completely kill all cockroaches within a week. Ansu 0.05% fipronil cockroach bait is packaged in a small box, and the drug is placed in a plastic box with holes, which maintains the efficacy of the drug for a longer time than direct exposure point application, but the disadvantage is that the application is not flexible and suitable for use in living rooms and bedrooms.
 
Boric acid powder and fipronil are all health insecticides recommended by the WHO, and boric acid was also the mainstream insecticide product before the epidemic of chemical pesticides. Boric acid toxicity is not as good as fipronil, and the lethal efficiency of the sensitive strain of German cockroach is slightly worse, but the German cockroach is not easy to develop resistance to boric acid, and it is more environmentally friendly, and it is also a worthy cockroach killing product. A test by the Guangdong Academy of Agricultural Sciences showed that the boric acid powder bait has a poor control effect on the American cockroach, and if the American cockroach is the main invasive species at home, it is not recommended to use Ansu 35% boric acid bait.
 
Aerosols and fumigants are contact killing types, while bait and other methods belong to the stomach poison type, which can be lethal in very small amounts, and the contact killing type is far less effective than cockroaches actively eating poisonous bait because most of the agents will be wasted in the environment. In addition to fumigation to kill cockroaches, it also has a killing effect on mites and fleas, but this method is not so convenient to use, and it is easy to leave the agent in the home, so it is not recommended to choose this type of product.
