Reviews about Tsifoks

I bought for 220 rubles in the regular market.I wanted to get rid of mosquitoes in the country, last year there were especially a lot of them. I decided to increase the concentration on my own. The result was not long in coming, but after a week the bloodsuckers again began to bother again. Reprocessing resolved this issue as well.

We use cifox very often and every time against different pests. Parents save them from flies, sister from mosquitoes on the site, and we took to fight ticks. The tool has never failed. I am glad that enough for a long time.

Victoria, Moscow

Good, but he is powerless against eggs. I had to mix Tsifoks and Forsythe. 15 minutes after treatment, flaccid parasites began to crawl out of all the cracks. After 40 minutes, no movement was noticed. After processing, the required time was maintained and everything was rubbed with a soap-soda solution.
