If we keep pets at home, we should also kill insects often. Once bitten or stung by poisonous insects, it should be treated in time to avoid delaying the illness. The occurrence of bedbugs is relatively hidden. You can move the bedplate with bedbugs outdoors, scald the cracks with boiling water to kill bedbugs and eggs, and remove the sheets, pillow towels and clothes from the bottom for cleaning. When there are many bedbugs at home and it is not easy to clean them up, please ask the pest control company to help kill them.

Pests such as fleas, bedbugs, cockroaches, centipedes, booklice, dragonflies and Ma Lu, which often appear in the family, can be killed by drugs containing cis-cypermethrin.
