Insecticidal gels containing the following agents as active ingredients: permethrin (0.4%), cipermethrin (0.1%), fenvalerate (0.5%), alpha-methrin (0.2%) were designed and studied under laboratory and field conditions. When applied to various surface types, the designed formulations of the gels caused 100% death of cockroaches, domestic flies, bed-bugs and fleas. The application rate is 2.5-10.0 g/m2 depending on the species of insects. The residual insecticidal action of gels on the surfaces is as long as 3 months. The designed formulations are approved by the Ministry of Health of Russia for their manufacture and application.
