I have Black bugs recently and since Milbemycin Oxime is not sold in the country, i decide to try %1 Ivermectin. Do you think it will work like it did on Red bugs?

I killed them permanently just using bayer dip. I think it was 20ml per cup of water they were all dead after 2 rounds of treatment

What about Display, and the intervals? There' s no Bayer dip here either.

Have Revive and dipped them two days ago, they were dead in 15 minutes.

Display is fine with bayer you just rinse them in tank water before putting back in. I did 2 rounds of dipping to be safe.

Great to see ivermectin as an alternative to interceptor
Are you sure your interceptor hasn’t gone bad — old or oxidized, etc.

Ivermectin is currently used mainly against parasitic worms, such as those causing river blindness as well as lymphatic filariasis. The Carter Center, using ivermectin donated by Merck, works to eliminate blindness in rivers in the Americas, as well as to eliminate African lymphatic filariasis where possible. In addition, ivermectin is used against mites, such as those that cause scabies and head lice that have become resistant to insecticides. It is also used to treat mites, certain lice, heart worm and other worms in dogs, can cats eat and other animals.
