Aerosol Aerosol Raid against cockroaches and ants is a product designed for self-removal of synanthropic insects. Inside the can there is a fast-acting insecticidal substance. There is no unpleasant odor due to the presence of special fragrances. Destroys adults, nymphs of different ages, and larvae after birth. It belongs to the third class of hazardous substances; if the instructions for use are followed, it does not threaten the health of people or pets.
Operating principle
Raid anti-cockroach aerosol is sold ready-made and does not require dilution with water. It operates on the basis of two insecticidal substances. Provides instant, prolonged action. Maximum effectiveness is observed in the first 2 hours, then the properties gradually disappear. The drug is finally neutralized after 14 days.
Raid enters the body of insects through the intestinal contact route, disrupts the functioning of the nervous system, and provokes muscle paralysis. Death occurs within a few minutes. The first results of the product are noticeable 30 minutes after surface treatment.
On a note!
The chain reaction is ensured by Reid's contact action. A cockroach, soiled with poison, crawls into a shelter and transfers a dose of poison to its relatives. Mass death of insects is observed within 3 days after disinfestation.
Description of the series
A mosquito repellent helps protect a person from being bitten by mosquitoes indoors as well as outdoors. The drugs are available in various forms, which helps to adapt them for any application.
This group of insecticides includes the following release forms:
- Aerosol.
- Plate.
- Fumigator.
- Liquid.
- Spiral.
- Express paper.
The action of Reid is due to the presence of such substances:
- cypemethrin;
- imporotrin;

Raid cockroach spray is the first aid when detecting insects in the house. If you react in a timely manner, you can get rid of cockroaches in one treatment. It is recommended to treat the entire room, not selectively in several places. Wet cleaning is carried out the next day. The maximum properties last for 2 hours, but a pronounced prolonged effect is observed for another couple of days. I liked the product, I recommend it!

Trap Raid from cockroaches
The trap works in such a way that cockroaches, following tasty odors, fall into the flask and begin to eat the poison. The toxic substance that is part of the trap not only kills insects, but also sterilizes them, that is, does not allow them to reproduce anymore.
The upper part of the trap body is made of transparent material, thanks to which the bait and all the actions that take place in the trap are clearly visible.
Application:
- Traps should be placed in dark areas or where cockroaches are most likely to live. It is best to place them under the bathtub, sinks, near the trash can, behind cabinets.
- It should be noted that using a trap and a spray at the same time is strictly prohibited. In this situation, there will be no effect; the smell of the spray will scare away insects from the traps.
To enhance the effect of the trap, place bait near it, in the form of a bun or a piece of bread.
Experts believe that traps are more effective than sprays.
Other forms of release
The Reid brand produces another effective product against cockroaches - a bait trap. The gel-like substance contains insecticides, flavors, and food additives. The design is a box containing the active substance abamectin. When consumed, the female loses the ability to fertilize and stops laying eggs. Traps are used in parallel with an aerosol to kill cockroaches and as an independent means to prevent infection.
Spiral
Spirals Raid against mosquitoes
Insecticide in dry form, designed in the form of spirals. To activate the active substance, it is necessary to set one end of the product on fire and position it so that the smell of combustion products ends up where people are.
This is a relatively inexpensive method of protection and very effective. Mosquitoes fly nearby, but when they try to get closer, they lose their spatial references. For 10 pieces you will have to pay an average of 60 rubles.
Review
A spiral is a rather dubious way to protect against mosquitoes in nature. In a semi-closed gazebo, it also saves, but in nature we didn’t notice the effect. The effectiveness of Reid spirals greatly depends on the nature of the wind, because it blows the active substance to the side, and mosquitoes calmly fly up to us and bite us. You also need to use additional cream or spray.

Analogs
Aerosols are the most common form of drugs with a toxic effect. They are easy to use, do not require strict adherence to personal safety; it is enough to use rubber gloves, a mask or a respirator. Many domestic and foreign manufacturers produce similar products. Effective remedies for cockroaches:
- Raptor;
- Clean house;
- Combat;
- Dichlorvos.
Aerosol Raid is effective for mild to moderate infestation, if there are too many insects, use concentrates or call specialists to carry out professional disinfestation.
Gel Raid against cockroaches
The manufacturer claims that after disinfection, cockroaches will disappear from the apartment within a week. This insecticide is considered effective only if there are a small number of insects and they have not yet settled in your apartment.
If you have pets, it is better to avoid this drug, as it has no odor and your pet may accidentally ingest the poison, which will lead to poisoning.
The gel is sold in the form of a small syringe, but despite this, one tube is enough to carry out the treatment in one apartment.
