3. Recommendations for using the aerosol

Unfortunately, no one is able to completely protect their home from the appearance of various parasites, including bedbugs. Therefore, the appearance of such unpleasant inhabitants as bed parasites can cause serious concern for home owners, and this is not surprising. The fight against uninvited guests needs to begin as soon as possible, and the recommended means for this is the Raptor aerosol for combating bedbugs.

After all, these almost invisible pests can cause a lot of trouble, such as minor irritation or redness of the skin due to bites, itching, allergic reactions and, worst of all, various infectious diseases.

Compound

Aerosol "Raptor" has a wide range of effects, affecting various household pests. It contains flavorings and solvents. But the main action is based on three insecticidal substances in the composition: piperonyl butoxide, tetramethrin and cypermethrin. They affect blood-sucking parasites as follows:

• tetramethrin (0.2%) has a nerve-paralytic effect on insects, but does not affect humans and domestic animals due to low toxicity;
• piperonyl butoxide (0.5%) is a “partner” of tetramethrin or its catalyst, enhancing the effect;
• cypermethrin (0.2%) is also a nerve poison and affects bedbugs at the larval and mature stages; has the greatest activity during the first 24 hours after treatment.

Important: The active substances act if the insect has not received its portion of the poison. Poisoning continues in the nest, during “communication” with other relatives.

Preparing the room for processing

Let's start with cleaning, using a vacuum cleaner we will partially destroy the insects encountered along the way, open the nests and determine the total number of infestations.

• We remove bed linen, curtains and curtains from the windows.
• We put food in the refrigerator.
• We pack dishes, cosmetics and personal hygiene products in sealed bags.
• We remove the carpet, paintings, and decorative elements from the walls.
• We remove aquariums and plants or cover them tightly.
• Place all clothes in the closet unless the closet itself needs to be treated.
• Bed linen and soft toys need to be washed or sent to dry cleaning.

It is not allowed to treat minor children, pregnant and lactating women. People with sensitive skin to chemicals. Smoking and eating are prohibited during processing. In case of contact with skin, wash the area with soap and water; in case of contact with eyes, rinse thoroughly with running water. At the first manifestations of an allergy on the mucous membrane, consult a doctor.

Operating principle

The mechanism of action of the “chemical triad” is as follows:

1. When the insect moves over the treated surface, the poison remains on its legs.
2. The insecticide penetrates the body through the chitinous cover, affecting the nervous system of the bug.
3. By contacting other individuals, the insect infects them, and they are subject to the same poisonous effect.
4. The parasites become paralyzed and die within 24 hours. The poison lasts up to 20 days, but over time its effectiveness decreases.

The effect of poison on bedbugs is weaker than on other indoor pests (cockroaches, ants). They are quite tenacious and quickly adapt to the action of toxic substances. Their survival is due to the fact that sprays and aerosols are not so concentrated and their impact is weaker.

Bedbug repellent "Raptor"

Note: If you treat the nest itself so that the poison gets directly onto the insects, this will guarantee their death. When treating places of their possible movement, Raptor cannot completely destroy parasites, since the active substances are poorly attached to the surface.

How to use

The room is treated with Raptor with the windows open.
Pets should not remain in the premises; aquariums should be closed. It is advisable to work in a mask or put on a respirator so as not to inhale fumes of toxic substances. The can is shaken to mix the active substances. During spraying, it is held at arm's length. All secluded places can be treated. Insecticide treatment is the best way to eliminate unwanted insects. The result will be as expected if you first find places where insects accumulate. This could be the frame of the sofa or the furniture next to it. If the wallpaper behind the bed has peeled off, spray it there too. Bed bugs love dark, secluded places.

After the procedure, you must leave the room for half an hour.

Price

The cost of the drug is within reason. Based on the region, the price varies from 150 to 300 rubles, maybe slightly higher. A person with an average “wallet” can easily buy “Raptor” for bedbugs at such prices. One cylinder is enough to treat a large room with furniture.

So, in the online store the approximate prices for this type of product are as follows:

• "Raptor" aerosol against crawling insects (350 ml) is offered at a price of 288 rubles,
• "Raptor" aerosol against bed bugs (225 ml) costs 357 rubles,
• "Raptor": an aquafumigator insect elimination system is sold for 437 rubles.

The price depends on the volume, shape, type of product and the specific online store or other place of purchase.

Reviews

Reviews about the drug:

• “When I noticed the bedbugs, I was terribly scared. There weren’t many of them, but I immediately went to the store and decided to buy Raptor, since this insect repellent is inexpensive and quite popular. I purchased three cylinders at once to definitely get rid of pests. I cleaned the entire room. Sprayed liberally and everywhere. Within two days I began to find dead bedbugs. Two weeks later I cleaned up and forgot about the problem.”
• “Bed bugs were found at the dacha and they started biting the child. The store only had Raptor, so I bought it. I sprayed everything I could. The smell is pleasant, no one got poisoned, no one even sneezed. But the effect was not pleasing. I found several bedbugs, the rest remained alive. Maybe there were some particularly tenacious ones, but in the end I bought a very strong and smelly product, and it helped.”

"Raptor" for bedbugs: instructions

All its inhabitants, including pets, must leave the apartment. Flowers should be removed from the premises, aquariums and terrariums should be tightly covered with glass (it is better to move them to neighbors). Products, dishes, and toys for children should be sealed. Close doors, windows, and vents in rooms tightly.

When treated with “Raptor” against bedbugs, “Raptor” is already ready for use and the following manipulations are carried out with its help:

1. Shake the can so that the components are distributed evenly.
2. Wear personal protective equipment: gown, gloves, mask.
3. The product is sprayed at a distance of 30 cm, with your arm extended forward and the container placed in a vertical position.
4. Spray one area for no more than 2 seconds to avoid creating a wet spot or puddle;
5. The treatment is carried out in a continuous line, which the bugs are not able to cross.
6. Particular attention is paid to the nests in order to spray the parasites themselves and their larvae (treating open areas will not give the same effect).
7. After the effect of “Raptor” on bedbugs, the apartment is left closed for half an hour, after which cross-ventilation is carried out for at least an hour.

The Raptor smoke bomb against bedbugs penetrates well into the most inaccessible corners and crevices and poses a danger to the most tenacious bedbugs. It is convenient for her to process uninhabited premises: warehouses, garages, dachas (in the off-season). In apartments, this procedure is dangerous due to the high permeability of the suspension of toxic particles.

Raptor remedy for bedbugs

Raptor trademark is familiar to many users - a huge number of products against all kinds of insects are produced under it. Blood-sucking parasites are not left out of attention either.

Advantages and disadvantages

It should immediately be noted that the “Raptor” product is not used exclusively against bedbugs . This is a universal drug against most crawling insects. This is one of its main disadvantages , since its action is not targeted against bedbugs, larvae and eggs.

At the same time Raptor has many advantages for which buyers choose it as a remedy for parasites:

• Widespread - the aerosol can be purchased at almost every hardware store;
• Safety to use - its components are selected so that they do not emit substances toxic to humans into the air. Even if the product is accidentally inhaled, in small quantities it is harmless and quickly eliminated from the body;
• No pungent odor - unlike most specialized insecticides, Raptor does not have a pungent, unpleasant odor. Thanks to the many flavors, after its use a pleasant, mild floral aroma remains in the air;
• Economical in use;
• Convenience - the use of the product does not require preliminary preparation, mixing the solution, etc.

Release forms

The Raptor product is available in many forms, but an aerosol and aquafumigator are best suited for killing bedbugs .

Aerosol “Destruction of crawling insects” is available in the form of a spray can. It contains active substances - cypermethrin , tetramethrin , piperonyl butoxide , various solvents and flavorings . As the name suggests, it can simultaneously be used against cockroaches, ants, and other insects.

Another product from the Raptor line, which has proven itself well in the fight against bed bugs , is an aquafumigator . It consists of two containers with insecticides and a bag of distilled water.

ATTENTION! When using an aquafumigator, you must leave the room very quickly - the smoke it produces causes a strong suffocating cough.

When connecting the containers, a strong reaction begins with the release of thick white smoke. It quickly spreads throughout the room, penetrating into every crevice and hard-to-reach place.

In addition, you can find the Raptor product on sale in the form of a fumigator , trap and gel . However, it should be noted that they do not help against bed bugs .

For example, a gel and a trap work on the principle of luring an insect to a poisoned bait, but the bug only reacts to human blood and is not interested in anything else.
