Raptor an arsenal of effective cockroach repellents with which you will win both the battle and the war

Compound

Each form of Raptor has its own unique composition, but the action is identical. Active substances cause dysfunction of the nervous system, provoke muscle paralysis, and after some time death occurs. Cockroaches receive a dose of poison, manage to infect their brothers, young individuals in the nest, and soon mass death is observed. The exception is an aerosol, which acts instantly, penetrating the insect’s body through the chitinous cover and respiratory tract.

1. The aerosol contains popular broad-spectrum insecticides - cypermethrin, tetramethrin, piperonyl butoxyl, as well as a solvent for the base, a flavoring agent that suppresses the strong smell of poison.
2. In the composition of the gel, the manufacturer indicates a less popular insecticide - lambda-cyhalothrin, food additives, preservatives for long-term effects, a gelling agent that gives shape and prevents the drug from drying out.
3. The traps operate on the basis of a modern insecticidal substance – fipronil. It has a nerve-paralytic effect, retains its properties for a long time, and is resistant to sunlight. The composition is supplemented with preservatives, gelling agents, and flavorings.
4. The aquafumigator contains an insecticide - cyphenothrin, a vapor-forming reagent and a binder. Due to the formation of small droplets containing poison, the product penetrates into hard-to-reach places and settles on any surface.

All Raptor drugs are highly effective when used correctly.

Aquafimugator Raptor

Compound

The product was released in Japan. The main substance is cyphenothrin.

Mechanism of action on cockroaches

The substance cyphenothrin paralyzes the nervous system of adults and larvae. Contact with liquid promotes the activation of these processes. Thermal reactions are being started. During the process, vapors that are poisonous to cockroaches are produced. The concentration of the substance is high, which destroys all pests. The vapor form facilitates the penetration of the active substance into hard-to-reach places (walls, baseboards, ventilation).

Instructions for use

Place the poison in a container and leave the room for two hours. The insects will be destroyed over time.

Forms of release of "Raptor" products against cockroaches

Products under the trade name "Raptor" are available in various forms:

• Aerosol. Available in tin cans with a sprayer, the product is completely ready for use. The cost is about 200–250 rubles for a volume of 350 ml. One can can treat 50–60 m2.
• Gel "Raptor". Available in 75 ml tubes, its approximate cost is 200–250 rubles. One tube is designed to treat 10 m3 of space.
• Trap for cockroaches. It is a plastic container with holes and an active substance inside. Set includes 6 pieces. The price ranges from 170 to 200 rubles. A room of 10 m2 will require 2-3 traps, depending on the number of insects.
• Aquafumigator. It is a metal container with the necessary components: water and a plastic container with the active substance. The approximate cost of an aquafumigator is about 500 rubles. One aquafumigator destroys parasites over an area of ​​up to 30 m2.

Raptor - what is it and how does it work?

Raptor is the general name for a whole group of insecticidal agents. The manufacturer offers gel, traps, and aerosol. Let's look at the advantages of each of the products, and in addition, I'll tell you about a relatively new method of combating domestic insects - an aquafumigator.

Raptor gel

The active ingredient is lambda-cyhalothrin (has a nerve-paralytic effect). The principle of action is similar to other similar drugs: the cockroach tries the sent treat, returns to its relatives, infects them, and they all die. Keep in mind that to be more effective, the gel has a delayed effect: this is necessary so that the insect has time to infect as many fellow insects as possible before dying. Complete destruction of the entire population will take 2-3 days. The product is packaged in a plastic tube with a long spout; the volume is enough to treat a room of 10 square meters. The manufacturer recommends applying the drug pointwise at a distance of 2-4 cm. The shape of the packaging allows you to treat hard-to-reach places - under the baseboard, behind cabinets, cracks in the walls, etc. The gel has a prolonged effect - even after six months it remains effective. This is possible thanks to the presence of a special fatty substance, thanks to which the formula remains active for several months.

We are reading on the topic: Fas from cockroaches A cheap, reliable remedy

I would like to warn you right away - if there are children and pets in the house, then treat the room in places inaccessible to children and pets. Still, the smell of the gel - and it smells like apricot jam - will attract not only insects, so do not forget about precautions.

Raptor trap

The trap is a plastic washer with holes, inside of which there is a poison that attracts insects due to the content of aromas. The principle of operation is no different from other traps - one cockroach that eats a poisoned treat infects the others, who die within a few hours.

The epidemic will last until the last cockroach dies. The trap will completely destroy all insects in two to three days and will remain effective for several months. For the next six months, you definitely don’t have to worry about recidivist cockroaches, but after 7-9 months, it makes sense to update the traps if a red-haired scout sneaks past your neighbors.

Raptor aerosol

An aerosol exterminator is useful for those who have discovered a cockroach nest and do not want to wait until they are poisoned using a trap or gel. The product contains tetramethrin and cypermethrin, that is, it has two effects: immediate and prolonged. Unlike similar drugs, Raptor aerosol does not have an unpleasant odor and smells like mint.

In addition to spraying directly on insects, in which cockroaches die from the penetration of the chemical composition into the body through contact with chitinous covers, the product is sprayed from a distance of 20 cm onto the back walls of furniture, into corners and crevices in the walls, behind the baseboard, etc. It is necessary to treat all places through which cockroaches can enter your home, as well as all routes of insects and their possible habitats.

With one bottle you can treat a room with an area of ​​50-60 square meters. Don’t forget about personal protective equipment - gloves and a respirator, as well as ventilating the apartment after disinfestation. For best results, repeat treatment after 3-4 weeks.

Aquafumigator - a new word in the fight against insects

The most modern and easy-to-use product is, perhaps, the Raptor aquafumigator. This is a special device that emits fumes that are poisonous to insects, destroying all the insects in the house at once. Thanks to the operating principle of the aquafumigator, steam penetrates into the most inaccessible places, leaving not a single cockroach a chance. The fumigator will kill not only adults, but also their eggs and larvae. Although during operation the device more closely resembles a smoke bomb than a pest control device, the product is extremely effective. Essentially, this is the same classic fumigator, but with the addition of water, hence the unusual name.

Read on the topic: Vinegar is an effective remedy for cockroaches or a waste of time and effort

So, in the package you will find a plastic container, a metal cylinder with poison and a bag of water. The water must be poured into a container, and the cylinder with the powder must be placed in the water. A chemical reaction will occur and toxic vapor will begin to be released. The product is safe for people and animals. However, it is better to take children and pets away during treatment, go away on your own for 2-3 hours, and then ventilate thoroughly.

The manufacturer guarantees the complete and immediate destruction of cockroaches, but recommends repeating the treatment with an aquafumigator after a month - some insect eggs could survive, so it’s better to play it safe. The aquafumigator destroys insects thanks to the content of a special substance invented in Japan - cyphenothrin. This nerve paralytic insecticide leaves insects no chance and is a highly effective substance.

Instructions for use

All Raptor products must be used strictly according to the instructions.

Aerosols are used as follows:

1. Before treatment, children, animals, people suffering from pulmonary diseases, and allergy sufferers are removed from the premises. Dishes and food are packed in plastic bags.
2. The aerosol should be sprayed at a distance of about 25 cm from the surface, paying special attention to places where insects accumulate and trail.
3. 15 minutes after spraying, the room should be well ventilated for half an hour.
4. You can repeat the disinfestation of the premises after a month. The aerosol is sprayed into places where cockroaches accumulate or in those areas where they are most often found

Gels are used as follows:

1. The gel is applied in dotted lines, in strips of 2 centimeters.
2. Treat places where insects move and accumulate, paying special attention to cracks and ventilation.
3. Validity period is six months.
4. If necessary, remove the old gel and apply a new one. Cockroach gel is applied in 2 cm strips

The gel can be applied to paper strips and placed in places inaccessible to children and animals. After its expiration date, the drug will not have to be washed; it will be enough to throw the strips of paper into the trash and replace them with new ones if necessary.

Traps are installed like this:

1. Place in places inaccessible to children and animals near insect habitats.
2. The device is replaced with a new one after about 2 months.

The aquafumigator is installed as follows:

• Water, which is included in the package, is poured into a jar or any other container.
• The metal container is placed in the center of the jar.
• The entire structure is installed on a flat surface in the center of the room. The calculation is as follows: the coverage area of ​​the aquafumigator is approximately 30 square meters. m.
• It is left for 2-3 hours, during which you should leave the room being treated (pets also need to be taken out/taken out, just cover the aquariums and tape the gaps between the lid and the glass with tape).
• After the time has passed, the room is well ventilated.
• Repeated treatment is carried out 3 weeks after the first to destroy individuals that emerged from the surviving eggs of the previous generation. You should leave the premises while the aquafumigator is operating.

Precautionary measures

When using aerosols, the following precautions should be observed:

• work must be carried out wearing household gloves;
• Use a respirator to protect your respiratory system;
• To protect your eyes, use safety glasses.

It must be remembered that the substances contained in aerosols are highly toxic and easily penetrate the skin. Follow these guidelines:

• In case of contact with eyes, rinse them with running water and be sure to contact a medical facility.
• If you inhale the aerosol, open a window or go out into fresh air.
• In case of more severe damage, sore throat, asthmatic or allergic reaction, call an ambulance.
• After treatment with an aerosol or aquafumigator, be sure to ventilate the room for half an hour.
• The application of the gel should be carried out with gloves to protect the skin of the hands.
• During treatment, you should not smoke so that the product does not accidentally get from your fingers onto a cigarette or mouthpiece, and therefore into your mouth.

No special precautions are required when setting traps.

Combination of different means

To disinfest a room, you should follow the rules for combining different Raptor products with each other:

• You cannot use a gel/trap and an aerosol/aquafumigator at the same time, since the fragrances used in aerosols/aquafumigator will interrupt food attractants and trace pheromones found in gels and traps. If necessary, first treat the room with an aerosol or aquafumigator, ventilate well, and only then install a trap or apply a gel.
• The use of gel can be combined with the installation of traps.

Aerosol "Raptor"

It is worth saying that the aerosol form of release is considered the most effective. In addition, most strong insecticides require the preparation of solutions and mixtures before use; in this case, the drug does not require any preparatory procedures and is ready for use.

Compound

The effectiveness of the aerosol is due to the composition, which involves 3 active substances at once. The destructive effect is carried out using cypermethrin, tetramethrin, piperonyl butoxide, which perfectly complement each other and maximize effectiveness. As you know, pesticides have a very unpleasant and pungent odor; the raptor contains flavoring agents that remove them.

Mechanism of action

The active substances act in a complex manner and affect the cockroach through the respiratory organs, digestive system and chitinous membrane. Therefore, a cockroach can become infected with a pesticide by contact, simply by running over the drug, eating it with food, or simply inhaling the vapors. Pesticides affect the nervous system, causing paralysis and subsequently death.

Advantages and disadvantages

Like any other pesticide, this product has both positive and negative aspects.

The benefits include:

• Effective and fast action. A sufficiently high concentration of pesticides makes it possible to eliminate large colonies in a very short period; the substances begin to affect cockroaches immediately after spraying the insecticide.
• Easy to use. A convenient form of release, which makes it possible to use the product immediately after purchase; there is no need to waste time preparing any solutions or looking for a spray bottle.
• Economical. In order to treat an area of ​​60 square meters, you will need only one bottle and this will be a complete treatment.

Regarding the shortcomings, the following can be noted:

• Toxicity. When using, you will need to observe safety measures and strictly follow the recommendations, since it is dangerous for people and animals.
• Short action. Once applied to the surface, the substance evaporates quickly, so to achieve good results, the procedure must be repeated.

When sprayed, microparticles can enter the respiratory tract and mucous membranes of the nose, mouth and eyes, and this is very dangerous to health. The use of protective equipment is mandatory. Also, people and animals should not be in the room during processing. Cleaning will be required after treatment to ensure the safety of residents. The composition contains a solvent, so marks may remain on some surfaces.

Price

The price directly depends on the place of sale; on average, a bottle will cost 250 rubles.

Proper Use

Before the treatment itself, it is necessary to prepare the room. Move furniture away from the walls, hide food, kitchen utensils, and personal hygiene products. Sweep thoroughly, remove dust and wet clean. The drug should be placed on a clean surface.

Next, put on gloves, a respirator, safety glasses, and clothing should be with long sleeves. Shake the bottle and you can start applying. Attention is paid to hard-to-reach places, baseboards, back walls of cabinets, pipes, under the sink, behind the radiator, ventilation, all cracks and corners.

At the end of the procedure, change clothes, wash your hands with soap and wash. You need to leave the apartment for a while. Upon return, ventilate well and carry out wet cleaning using a soap solution. It is necessary to wash all surfaces that are accessible to humans and animals. The drug remains only in hard-to-reach places.

Reviews

• “Raptor helped us a lot. I managed to get rid of them in 2 times. True, the effect was not immediate, but the final result was pleasing.”
• “Wasted time and money. After use, we found a couple of dead cockroaches, but that was the end of it. We tried to repeat the procedure, but it did not bring any effect.”

Aerosol concentrate Barrier

The concentrated drug is a professional product used to kill cockroaches. The aerosol contains a formula that has no analogues in the world. This creates an effective barrier for insects. Its effect lasts for six months.

Aerosol concentrate

Characteristic

The product formula contains 3 active ingredients:

• bifenhtrin;
• Cypermethrin;
• piperonyli butoxydum.

The aerosol has a nerve-paralytic effect on insects, providing a long-lasting effect. Therefore, it is recommended to use it in rooms with a large number of cockroaches or to provide a barrier effect.

The active substances evaporate gradually. This effect is achieved thanks to a special formula. On the treated base, the effect of the drug lasts for a month. By coming into contact with active substances, cockroaches infect their relatives. Both of them die after a short period of time. During spraying, toxic components instantly enter the body of pests. The barrier penetrates well through ventilation barriers, into cracks and other hard-to-reach places.

Instructions for use

To obtain the desired effect, the manufacturer advises spraying the product on surfaces that do not absorb liquid. Such materials include: plastic, tile, linoleum, metal. If you treat porous substrates, the duration of the spray is reduced. The room is processed in stages:

1. The can should be shaken vigorously. Hold it vertically while spraying.
2. To ensure a barrier effect, the places where cockroaches enter are treated: entrance doors, windows, loggias, balconies, ventilation shafts, cracks.
3. To destroy existing insects, the places where they are most concentrated are subject to treatment.

The aerosol is sold in an 80 ml can. It can be used for three years. Average price – 220 rubles.

Aerosol against crawling insects

Consumers most often purchase Raptor aerosol, as it is convenient to use during processing. It effectively kills cockroaches when the insecticide is sprayed directly onto the insects. The aerosol quickly disappears and leaves no traces.

Characteristic

The Raptor contains:

• cypermethrin (a widely used insecticide);
• tetramethrin.

Aerosol

The product has a contact-intestinal effect. Cockroaches are not addicted to it, since the use of the main active ingredient, cypermethrin, began to be used recently.

Terms of use

Treatment of premises against cockroaches using Raptor aerosol against crawling insects is carried out sequentially, according to the following algorithm of actions:

1. Preparation of premises. Cleaning is carried out: the products are carefully closed and hidden in an inaccessible place.
2. Determine the area of ​​disinfestation. People who do not take part in the process of baiting insects, children and animals should not be in the apartment or house.
3. Windows, doors, and ventilation openings are closed.
4. Direct processing is carried out. Aerosol spraying is carried out in those places where cockroaches were most noticed: under sinks and bathrooms, around sewer pipes, in the trash can area, behind cabinets.

The aerosol can should be shaken vigorously, surfaces and targeted areas should be treated at a distance of at least 20 cm. Windows and doors should not be opened for 15-20 minutes, after which the premises should be ventilated. It is recommended to use protective equipment during processing.

The aerosol is sold in a 350 ml bottle. Shelf life – 3 years (from date of manufacture). Price from 153 to 240 rubles.

Where did the cockroach come from and what did it bring to us?

As you understand, an insect cannot appear in an apartment on its own, much less a whole family. It is obvious that the cockroaches have found some way into your apartment, and it is likely that a whole legion of Prussians could come to you along the same route. So, be sure to check:

• walls, floors in the apartment, on the balcony, in the bathroom and toilet for cracks (if you find them, all cracks must be sealed);
• holes in the wall that lead into the ventilation shaft (buy small mesh at a hardware store and install it on the ventilation in the kitchen and bathroom.

Nature has given cockroaches a flat body, thanks to which they can squeeze through even the narrowest gap. Most likely, insects entered your home in one of the following ways:

• through the ventilation shaft;
• through cracks in the floor, walls, communication hatch in the toilet;
• if you live on the ground floor, the mustachios could come from the basement;
• from the garbage chute they got into the entrance and then into the apartment.

As you can see, cockroaches are not particularly selective in their routes: sewers, garbage chutes - just imagine what their little paws touched on the way to your house. For those who do not suffer from a wild imagination, I will explain: cockroaches are carriers of all kinds of infection. Here are just a few of them:

• salmonellosis;
• dysentery;
• mycobacteriosis;
• helminths (eggs of roundworms, whipworms, pinworms, etc.);
• gastroenteritis.

Read on the topic: smoke bombs from cockroaches are one hundred percent destruction

Of course, you can object, they say, I don’t eat cockroaches and don’t touch them with my hands, I don’t care about any kind of infection. But you can’t know for sure what places and objects the dirty insect moved to in your kitchen immediately after it came running to you from the basement or sewer. A cockroach could crawl onto bread or fruit, onto your toothbrush, onto washed plates or into a cutlery rack, or onto a baby's pacifier.

Any food that has not been tightly packaged and put in the refrigerator can be potentially infectious - after all, the cockroach has probably tried a piece of everything. This is the main argument in favor of the fact that insects in the house must be combated. Fortunately, the chemical industry has long given us a wide selection of insecticidal products for cockroaches.

Gel "Raptor"

Raptor cockroach gel is no less effective than an aerosol and has several features.

Compound

Gel Raptor

The drug contains the active component lambda-cyhalothrin. This insecticide is not so common, but it is effective. The drug also contains food attractants, which act as bait and make the composition attractive to pests. You can also find a preservative in the composition, which preserves the activity of the components, and a gelling agent, which retains moisture and prevents drying.

How does the gel work?

The active component has a detrimental effect on the central nervous system and causes paralysis. But the effect is delayed, so that the infected pests, unsuspectingly, return to their habitats and infect other individuals. As a result, the entire population dies.

Advantages and disadvantages

The gel has a number of advantages:

• This product is one of the most effective. Reviews show that the product is really effective. It allows you to destroy all pests.
• The gel form is characterized by low toxicity and relative safety for animals and people. The active components do not enter the air, therefore they cannot penetrate the respiratory tract or mucous membranes (provided there is no close contact with the gel).
• Since the gel contains food attractants, pests will definitely pay attention to it.
• Long lasting effect. Since the gel does not dry out, its activity remains for a long time.
• Easy to use. It is enough to apply the composition to the surface. The narrow spout of the tube makes application very convenient.

Minuses:

• Not the most economical expense. One package is enough to treat a room with an area of ​​no more than 10 square meters, which is less than one average room.
• This form is not suitable for quickly eliminating pests; complete destruction may take several weeks.

How to use?

The gel is applied to the feeding and following areas of the cockroaches with a dotted line (about two centimeters of the composition and about 2-4 centimeters of free space).

Price

The cost of a 75 milliliter tube is about 230-240 rubles.

Follow the instructions when using.

Opinions

Reviews about the gel:

1. “The gel didn’t help. I once tried to watch cockroaches, and they avoided the gel. But the remedy turned out to be effective in the fight against ants.”
2. “As soon as cockroaches appeared, I bought this product. It helped us, at least we didn’t see the pests anymore.”

Gel

Compound

The composition of the product includes an insecticide related to pyrethroids, lambda-cyhalothrin. They are characterized by contact-intestinal influence. The active substance penetrates the pest through the respiratory system. Under its influence the nervous system is paralyzed.

Mechanism of action on cockroaches

The substance lambda-cyhalothrin has a delayed effect. The cockroach spreads it, infecting other insects. Prolonged action is ensured by the presence of preservatives. They contribute to a long period of action, since the gel does not dry out.

Advantages and disadvantages

Raptor is sold in specialized stores. The convenient tube spout helps distribute the insecticide in hard-to-reach places. The insecticide is safe because it does not evaporate. The Raptor tube is designed for 10 m2, which is not economical enough. The insects disappear a few weeks after using the drug.

Instructions for use

Apply the gel to areas where cockroaches are concentrated. The composition is applied in dotted lines, at intervals of two centimeters. Disinsection will be effective if adjacent rooms are treated in parallel with the kitchen. Thorough cleaning should be done before using the product.

Trap Professional extermination of cockroaches

The set consists of 6 discs. with an insecticide placed inside. This amount is calculated for an area of ​​up to 20 square meters. m. Price from 210 rubles. Storage is allowed for 3 years.

Composition, principle of operation

The composition is represented by the following components:

• lambda-cyhalothrin;
• water;
• glycerol;
• stabilizers;
• preservatives;
• Attractants are substances that provoke attraction to a scent.

Attracted by the aroma of vanilla and apricot, the cockroach falls into the trap and eats the poison. The poison penetrates the chitinous cover of the insect and through the digestive tract, disrupts the functioning of the nervous system, and provokes paralysis. The infected individual does not die immediately, but manages to bring the insecticide to the nest. According to the principle of a chain reaction, the entire colony dies.

How to use

Instructions for using Raptor traps read:

1. Determine the required number of disks based on: 2-3 pcs. for 10 sq. m. In case of severe infection, the consumption increases.
2. Install in places where cockroaches are localized: near sinks, sinks, on the shelves of kitchen furniture, near baseboards, behind the refrigerator.
3. To increase efficiency, replace used structures after 2 months.

Important!

The manufacturer categorically does not recommend combining the use of traps and Raptor aerosol, since the smell of the latter greatly reduces the chances of pests detecting the bait.

Gels and traps

A form such as gel and traps are often used in combination. The principle of operation of these forms is the same, but the execution is different:

• gel is a form of fat-based insecticide with added baits that are attractive to cockroaches;
• traps are produced in the form of plastic containers in which the same bait with a toxic substance is placed.

Insects, attracted by the appetizing smell, approach the droplets of the gel or enter traps and eat toxic substances. In this case, the insect does not die immediately, it returns to its habitat and infects many more of its fellows. The advantage of this form of Raptor insecticide is that the treatment does not require evacuating people and animals from the apartment.

How to use

Detailed instructions for use are on the packaging of the drug. Using the gel is as simple as possible; it needs to be applied in the form of a dotted line (dots with a distance of 2-4 cm) in the habitats and routes of cockroaches.

You can apply the gel directly to the floor, but it is easier to use narrow strips of paper or cardboard. Strips with the drug applied to them can be placed in the required places. The point of this action is to make cleaning easier, since you will just need to throw away the papers rather than wash the floor and furniture from stains of dried product.

The gel can be applied not only to horizontal surfaces, but also to walls; its consistency will not allow the product to drain. It is convenient to use the gel in closed places (behind furniture, etc.), but it is more convenient to install traps on open surfaces.

The principle of operation of these forms is the same, it’s just more convenient to install traps in open spaces without fear that the toxic substance will be licked off by a curious pet or a child will get dirty in it. There are no difficulties when using traps, the instructions for use are extremely simple, just unpack the container and secure it to the floor or wall.

Advice! The traps are equipped with special adhesive pads that allow you to attach them to almost any surface.
