Aquafumigator Aquafumigator for cockroaches Raptor is an effective and very convenient means for exterminating harmful insects in apartments and residential buildings. The active substance is a broad-spectrum insecticide developed in Japan. The drug has no direct analogues, is sold in hardware and specialized stores, and is affordable. When using, minimum personal protection measures must be observed.
Operating principle
The active substance is an insecticide, which, together with steam and small particles of water, is released into the air. Gradually settles on the surface, penetrates into hard-to-reach places, crevices, and soft fabrics of furniture. The poisonous effect begins after 30 minutes. The maximum exposure time is 2 hours, after which toxic smoke ceases to be emitted.
On a note!
The aquafumigator has an instant effect, its action is similar to aerosols and sprays, but it is much more effective because it gets into cracks and any hard-to-reach places.
After disinfestation is completed, the drug remains effective for a week. Under the influence of temperature and sunlight, it gradually loses its properties. To consolidate the effect and complete extermination of cockroaches, repeated treatment is required.
Smoke begins to be released during a chemical reaction after immersing the active substance in water. Unlike smoke bombs, you do not need to light the fuse or wait until the base begins to smolder. The active substance of the aquafumigator is not dangerous for others if the instructions are followed.
Positive feedback
Rented apartments are often infested with cockroaches! But this time it was a jackpot! Whatever cabinet you open, a whole army of large and small cockroaches, Prussians and some other insects climb out at you. While everyone is chickening out, you can have a good dance. Something crunches underfoot all the time. You don’t even need to try to trample them, they crawl under your feet. It is simply impossible to sleep, because the owners of the apartment are cockroaches, crawling wherever they want. It was really hysterical - you wake up, and these bastards are sitting in your hair. Feeee...
At first I tried to poison it using the usual methods - I put cockroach traps everywhere and smeared a special gel from a syringe under the cabinets, baseboards and sink. Usually after a week they all disappeared, but not in this case. Dichlorvos only helped to scare these reptiles away. There are too many of them.
I had to look for other methods. I considered folk remedies also useless with such an abundance of creeping creatures, and the markets did not offer anything special. But still, I found something new for myself - the Raptor aquafumigator. The review will focus on exactly how to use it to quickly solve the problem. Because with such an abundance of creeping insects, the recommendations in the instructions are not very effective. According to the instructions you need:
1. Turn off fire safety sensors before treating the room.
2. Close all windows tightly. If the balcony is glazed, then the door to the balcony should be left open.
3. Install the aquafumigator in the center of the room being treated, on a flat surface.
4. Calculate the required dose of the drug: one Raptor aquafumigator is capable of eliminating insects in a room of up to 30 m²
5. Re-treat the room after 3 weeks from the date of the first one, since there is a possibility of insect eggs being retained.
How to use:
1. Open the package and remove the contents.
2. Remove the metal container from the packaging.
3. Pour the water from the bag into the jar.
4. Place the metal container inside the jar of water.
5. Important! Leave the room being treated for 2-3 hours while the aquafumigator is in effect.
Now let's move on to the most important thing, which is not written in the instructions! LIFE HACK!
Regardless of the size of the apartment, for the first time place an aquafumigator in each room, kitchen and one opposite the bathroom in the hallway. Open all furniture doors slightly. Leave the room for 4 hours, and be sure to take your animals with you! After a week, repeat the procedure again. After 5 days, place another aquafumigator (or more depending on the area of the home, see instructions) in the center so that the steam enters all rooms. Ready! Within a few days, the remaining insects will disappear! Only 2 weeks and no cockroaches or other insects, you can sleep peacefully. A repeat procedure after 3 weeks will not be necessary. Acrid smoke will enter absolutely all the cracks and there will be no nests with eggs left. I think that this procedure can be repeated more often, and the result will only please you.
It will be a little expensive, but without strangers and safe! Doesn't bully neighbors
At first, of course, I used it according to the instructions. I bought one for an apartment of 35 meters, and after the first use, improvements were already noticeable. They fled as best they could. Even the neighbors came and asked to poison the cockroaches. That is, before I moved in, no cockroaches crawled into them? The smoke forced them to leave their nests! Of course, I didn’t want to wait until all the cockroaches were poisoned, and then I realized that I needed to increase the amount of poison. And as it turned out, it was not in vain! Two weeks later the problem was solved, and after another week nothing was crawling around the neighbors. I spent 5 packs on my living space, including the first one for the experiment.
Perhaps the creators of this poison did not imagine such a quantity of living creatures in a small home and considered that a one-time use was enough. But still, among the presented means to combat cockroaches, the Raptor aquafumigator is the most powerful remedy against cockroaches, ants, bedbugs and moths.
When you place a container of poison in a special liquid from the kit, very acrid smoke immediately begins to emit. I tested it on myself, because at first I thought it wasn’t that dangerous! It’s simply impossible to be indoors! The eyes water, the throat dries out and a strong dry cough begins. So you can get poisoned yourself. Therefore, you must leave the room for 2-3 hours. Better by 4! Because breathing indoors is still difficult. And most importantly, don’t forget about the animals, they will have nowhere to hide. When the smoke has already settled, there is no longer an unpleasant pungent odor, and it does not pose any harm to humans and animals. After the procedure, a smell reminiscent of some kind of perfume remains. It disappears completely from the room within a day. And in all sorts of cabinets and other unventilated places it can be felt for another week. That's why I repeated the procedure a week later!
The poison contains:
Gokylate (d-cyphenothrin) – 7.2%, binder and vaporizing agent.
The active ingredient Cyphenothrin (cyphenothrin) has established itself as a highly effective nerve agent for the destruction of all types of insects and their larvae, which has a residual effect, which provides a long-lasting effect. Cyphenothrin is a broad-spectrum insecticide that is safe for humans and pets.
The Japanese active ingredient cyphenothrin (cyphenothrin) and a special vapor-forming agent are placed inside a small metal container, which is installed in a plastic container partially filled with water. Upon contact with liquid, an intense thermal reaction begins, as a result of which vapors of the active substance are formed, penetrating even into hard-to-reach places. The drug completely destroys all types of insects and their larvae for a long time.
A small 7x7 container like this works wonders. An activator liquid is stored in a plastic container (it is pink and fills the plastic container a little less than half) and a metal container with poison, tightly packed in film. After opening the package, you must use it immediately or the contents will lose their properties. Stored in packaging for 3 years.
I keep one just in case! After seeing the number of cockroaches, I just can’t bring myself to throw them away, even though I ended up with an extra one.

The disadvantage is the need for several treatments, since after one disinsection, the larvae that were in the ooteca at the time of persecution survive.
Product Features
All aquafumigators operate in a similar way and have an identical device. A prominent representative of this product category is Raptor. Sino-Japanese development. The active component cyphenothrin is produced in Japan.
A highly effective insecticide kills cockroaches of any age, with the exception of larvae, which are in the ooteca at the time of disinsection. The death of insects occurs within a few minutes. The substance causes muscle paralysis, convulsions, respiratory arrest, and death.
The aquafumigator consists of several parts:
- square container for pouring liquid;
- a bag of distilled water;
- jar with holes, insecticide inside.
On a note!
There is nothing complicated in using an aquafumigator. If the instructions are followed, high efficiency and safety for humans and pets are ensured.
You can buy the product in specialized stores, supermarkets, or order online. The price of the Raptor aquafumigator for cockroaches is about 500 rubles.
Compound
The Raptor aquafumigator for cockroaches is produced in Russia. The brand appeared in our country in 1997; in terms of sales, the line of insect repellent products occupies a leading position. Attracts buyers efficiency, safety, affordable price.
The aquafumigator complex consists of a water container and a tin can with the active component. The jar contains holes through which smoke is released as a result of a chemical reaction. When the active substance runs out, the action of the aquafumigator stops. The elimination of cockroaches occurs without human participation in the disinfestation process.
The active substance is a broad-spectrum insecticide called cyphenothrin. Development of Japanese scientists. It is a low-hazard chemical and has a nerve-paralytic effect. If it gets on the skin or in the respiratory tract of cockroaches, it causes paralysis and immediate death.
General characteristics of Prussian repellent devices
Despite the assurances of manufacturers who convince a potential buyer of the effectiveness of this type of device, you need to understand that in fact they do not have such a powerful effect on cockroaches.
It’s worth starting with the mechanism of influence of the device.
The device for cockroaches in the PestReject socket and other similar devices are divided into 2 large groups:
- Ultrasonic wave generators.
- Electromagnetic field generators.
For any of these mechanisms to effectively influence the insect body, it is necessary that it use similar properties during its existence. This is how mosquitoes emit ultrasonic waves when communicating with each other, and thus transmit signals about approaching danger. Such devices have a very strong impact on them.
Since cockroaches do not use ultrasound or electromagnetic radiation during their existence, these mechanisms of influence have practically no significance for them. Of course, it is possible to emit frequencies so high that they will actually bring a lot of discomfort to insects, however, in this case, humans will experience similar problems.
In addition, it is very important to understand that various electrical devices are purely deterrents. Using them cannot talk about the destruction of pests.
At best, insects simply move to an area that is not covered by the device’s coverage area. When the latter is unplugged, the Prussians often return to their former habitats.
Instructions
The Raptor smoke bomb is made specifically for use in residential apartments and houses. One piece is enough to process 10 square meters. m area.
- First you need to clean the house, remove animals and other people.
- Water is poured into the container, a jar with the active substance is inserted, and within 5 minutes steam with insecticide particles begins to be released.
- Disinsection is carried out with the windows closed; it is recommended to seal the ventilation holes and doorways in the room with cling film.
- After completing the procedure, ventilate thoroughly and wash areas where your hands will touch. The alkaline environment finally neutralizes the effect of the poison. Add soap and baking soda to the water.
Important!
After 10-14 days, repeated disinfestation is carried out to consolidate the result and destroy young larvae. The nymphs do not have time to lay eggs, so the cockroach population ceases to exist.
Operating principle of the aquafumigator
Today, among the devices approved for use in residential premises, an aquafumigator is one of the most convenient and effective methods of fighting cockroaches. No additional equipment is required to use it. The kit includes: insecticide, steam-generating substance and containers for their use.
The operating principle of the aquafumigator is based on the reaction of a toxic substance with a vapor-forming reagent. The damaging effect is enhanced by the penetrating ability of steam, which easily enters narrow crevices and spaces hidden from the human eye, favored by parasites.
Before using the aquafumigator, it is recommended to vacuum the fluffy surfaces in the room and do a wet cleaning. It is better to move furniture away from the walls and close the windows tightly. The tightness of the room will enhance the effect of the toxic substance.
Before treating the room you must:
- Remove the bag with the special liquid from the kit and pour it into a suitable container.
- Place the container with the toxic substance into the container with the liquid, with the holes facing up.
After a few minutes, a chemical reaction will occur and steam will begin to be released. The poison has no effect on humans, but it is better to leave the room during disinfestation, which will last about 2-3 hours, or wear a respirator.
After completing the procedure, ventilate the room. Wash actively treated surfaces with soap or soda.
After 2 weeks, it is recommended to repeat the procedure. This will allow you to destroy parasites that have hatched from eggs and are not affected by the insecticide.
Reviews
There are different reviews about the aquafumigator. The remedy works much faster against cockroaches with an integrated approach - keeping the house clean, eliminating gaps, cracks in the wall, repairing leaking taps.
Last year I poisoned cockroaches in my apartment. I used the aquafumigator 2 times in a month. Got it out without much effort. Excellent tool!
Alina, Moscow
If everything in the apartment is neglected, there are hordes of cockroaches, the use of an aquafumigator alone is not enough. We need a powerful poison. In all other cases - an excellent remedy! There is no unpleasant odor, safe for humans and animals when used correctly.

Analogues of the Raptor company
To combat cockroaches the following are produced:
- poisonous bait traps;
- gel;
- aerosols.
Liquid products act similarly to an aquafumigator. They have an immediate effect and do not provide long-lasting protection. Traps and gels contain a toxic substance, bait, and food additives. Cockroaches eat the drug and die. To kill a large number of insects, it is recommended to use several products together.
Analogs from other manufacturers
The aquafumigator has no direct analogues. The steam from cockroaches penetrates soft tissues and not only concentrates on hard surfaces. Smoke bombs that emit dry smoke have a similar effect. Effective products:
- Japanese checker;
- Quiet evening;
- FAS.
The price of funds is from 50 rubles. up to 800 rub. a piece.
It is very convenient to use an aquafumigator in an apartment. All that is required is to place the jar and close the room tightly. After 2 hours, ventilate. It is easy to repeat the procedure 2-3 times a month if there are a lot of cockroaches. When combined with other Raptor products, the effect occurs quickly.
