1. Classic Dichlorvos. The preparation contained, as an active insecticide, an organophosphorus compound that is capable of penetrating the insect's chitinous cover and damaging its nervous system. This drug could cause allergies, as well as serious poisoning and upset in people who have exceeded the dosage of the drug.
2. Dichlorvos "Eco".The drug contains in its composition cypermethrin, as well as natural pyrethrins( substances extracted from flowers of Dalmatian chamomile).The composition of the drug also includes a lavender flavor, which provides a pleasant smell.
3. Dichlorvos "Neo".The modern drug has kept from its predecessor only the name, which does not require advertising. In its composition, the agent contains 3 effective insecticides: permethrin, piperonyl butoxide, cypermethrin, which affect the nervous system of the insect. The agent is relatively safe for humans, and does not have a persistent unpleasant odor. Therefore, when choosing such a tool, it is quite appropriate to pick lice with Dichlorvos.

Important! Even the most modern and updated dichlophos preparations require great care in handling. If they are used indoors, then it is necessary to use personal protective equipment. If the product gets on the body - it must be rinsed thoroughly, and if necessary, even consult a doctor.
