The Raptor brand logo with the image of a reptile and the slogan “checked - no insects” are familiar to almost everyone. The company was founded in 1996 with the participation of developers from Japan and Italy. The brand was the first to introduce fumigators to kill fleas, which were unusual for consumers at that time. The product range is regularly updated with new innovative products to combat all types of arthropods. Raptor for fleas in the apartment is represented by two preparations: an aerosol and an aquafumigator.
Aerosol Raptor
Raptor flea spray is available in a colorful blue can and positions itself as a universal remedy for eliminating all crawling insects.
Aerosol Raptor
The volume of one cylinder is 350 ml, this amount is enough to treat 30-50 m². The consumption of the product depends on the degree of contamination of the room, the number of furniture and surfaces that need treatment. Spray Raptor against fleas contains 2 active substances:
- tetramethrin is a pyrethroid that has an instant destructive effect; it penetrates with air through the chitinous cover into the respiratory system and destroys the nervous system of the parasite;
- Cypermethrin is a contact and intestinal insecticide that, when ingested by an insect, blocks the functioning of nerve receptors, which leads to paralysis and subsequent death of the pest.
In addition to the active ingredients, the formula includes piperonyl butoxide, propane, water and mint flavor.
Release forms for flea control
Raptor for fleas in an apartment or house is available in several forms, which are based on different principles of action.
Fumigator
A traditional insect fumigator is a simple method of pest control. According to user reviews, it is the flea fumigator that demonstrates 100% results.
The aquafumigator operates on the principle of evaporation of the active component – Cyphenothrin. This action is ensured by a vapor-forming agent.
The steam that spreads thanks to the flea fumigator in an infested apartment reaches the most inaccessible places. The effect of the drug on parasites is nerve paralytic.
Among the obvious advantages of purchasing:
- simplicity and ease of use;
- no need for operator presence - steam spreads uncontrollably in space;
- positive effect against not only fleas, but also other pests;
- relatively low cost.
Among the disadvantages of the fumigator: the need to free the home from its inhabitants during and after disinfection.
Plates
Traditional mosquito repellents are also effective against fleas. The attribute is impregnated with a special composition, which, after connecting the mosquito plate to the network and heating it, begins to release substances intolerable to insects that have a nerve-paralytic effect.
Fumigator liquid
Flea fumigator liquid contains a volatile insecticide. A popular one is prallethrin. It affects the nerve endings of parasites, creating a block of signals to the nerve endings.
A liquid that has a high concentration of the active ingredient is more effective - 1.6%.
There are various types of liquids on the market, the choice of which is based on the purpose and conditions of use of the product:
- standard insecticide-based liquid;
- liquid for children (with a reduced concentration of the component);
- bio-option based on natural raw materials;
- odorless liquid.
Attention! The fumigator liquid can also be used outside the device. Since the main condition for the action of a substance is its heating and evaporation, the component is applied to any hot surface, for example, dropping a few drops of liquid onto a hot incandescent lamp.
Aerosol
Raptor for pest control in aerosol form is the most common option. It is used for self-treatment of space and surfaces indoors.
If you take precautions, the product not only demonstrates the expected effect, but also does not harm family members, including pets.
The Raptor anti-flea spray contains three basic components:
- Tetramethrin. Responsible for the neuroparalytic effect of the drug. In combination with cypermethrin it forms a poisonous tandem.
- Cypermethrin. Affects the nervous system of adults and larvae. The effect of the component lasts for the next 3 weeks while the substance remains on surfaces.
- Piperonyl butoxide is a synthetic component that multiplies the effect of the other two components.
Attention! The volume of the product against fleas and other pests is large - 350 ml. The amount of substance is enough to treat a room of up to 50 square meters.
Mechanism of action
Aerosol Raptor against fleas has an immediate and prolonged effect. When spraying the product, all fleas caught in the treatment area die instantly. After the drug settles on the surface, it forms a kind of insecticidal film, contact with which kills adult fleas and larvae.
On a note!
The aerosol does not have a destructive effect on insect eggs. But given that the residual effect of the drug lasts for 7-10 days, this time is enough for larvae to emerge from the embryos. Young fleas are worm-like caterpillars and cannot avoid contact with treated surfaces.
Fumitox
Fumitox for fleas in the apartment is a worthy alternative to Raptor. The product contains: prallethrin, tetramethrin, DV-permethrin, chamomile extract, etc. The drug is recognized as one of the safest agents in pest control.
The product is sold in the form of an aerosol, plates, tape, spiral, liquid . Most often, preference is given to an aerosol, which begins to act immediately after use. If a fumigator is used, the effect of the drug is noticed after 5-10 minutes.
Advantages and disadvantages of the product
Aerosol Raptor
Spray Raptor against fleas has a number of advantages compared to other insecticides:
- Quick result - after disinsection, 70-80% of fleas die.
- Affordable cost - the price of one can is 180 rubles. You can buy it in any household chemicals department.
- No need for complex preparatory work.
- Using an aerosol is very convenient; there is no need to prepare a solution or carry out any manipulations with it. Just open the can, shake it and spray it around your apartment.
- The product has a pleasant minty smell.
- Penetrates into all hard-to-reach places.
- Economical - one cylinder is enough to treat a typical one-room apartment.
- There are no ozone-depleting components in Raptor.
The disadvantage of the aerosol product is its toxicity. Therefore, the treatment of premises should be carried out in a respirator, protective clothing and in the absence of people or pets.
Precautionary measures
"Raptor" is a fairly strong insecticidal agent that requires careful and very careful handling:
- It can only be sprayed away from open sources of fire, food and switched on electrical appliances;
- Store the can at room temperature away from direct sunlight. Heating the can above 40 degrees is life-threatening;
- Do not use the spray for other purposes. “Raptor” is produced to combat different insects - the composition of all analogues is almost the same, but the concentration is different;
- Make sure that children do not get to it;
- Take the used canister to a special recycling center;
- Remember, it cannot be burned, punctured or disassembled;
- If the insecticide gets on your mucous membranes or eyes, rinse them with water. For more serious problems or illness after flea baiting, consult a doctor.
Advice! Do not use a product that is more than three years old from the date of manufacture. In this case it is absolutely useless.
Features of using Raptor aerosol
Using aerosols does not require special skills. The instructions for using Raptor against fleas state that the product will be most effective if the apartment is treated in all rooms and adjacent rooms. Preliminary dry and wet cleaning will also invariably affect the result.
It is worth understanding that the destruction of fleas in the house is a set of measures that include not only disinfestation of the premises, but also treatment of pets against parasites using products intended for cats, dogs and other animals living in the house. Often these are hamsters and guinea pigs.
Before spraying the product, it is necessary to prepare the room: cover the aquariums, remove food products, move furniture aside if it blocks access to walls or baseboards.
Rules for using the aerosol:
- There should be no people or animals in the room.
- The person carrying out the treatment must use a respirator and clothing that tightly covers the skin. If you do not have a respirator, you can cover your mouth and nose with a terry towel.
- Open the can, shake it several times and hold it in a vertical position, spray into areas where fleas accumulate.
- At the end of disinfestation, close the windows and leave the room for 1 hour.
- When you return home, ventilate the rooms.
- Wash objects and surfaces with which there is daily contact with soapy water. Floors, baseboards, and walls are not subjected to wet cleaning for 10 days.
Review
Fleas appeared in our house last fall, when the cat came from the dacha and brought these parasites with him. We noticed them on time, so we immediately treated the apartment with Raptor aerosol. Just in case, we even paid attention to the hallway and kitchen. No more insects were seen!
Olga, Perm
Reviews of Raptor for fleas indicate the high effectiveness of the product for killing blood-sucking parasites. However, if personal safety rules are not followed, health may deteriorate, which is manifested by dizziness, irritation of the respiratory tract, sore throat, nausea, and vomiting.
Conditions for a successful fight
To quickly get rid of parasites, you need to choose the right remedy and follow a certain sequence:
- Try to discover the cause and source of infection. It doesn't have to be a cat or a dog. Some varieties can enter the house due to rats, mice, or from the basement or street. And then settle on an animal.
- Treat your pet against and provide it with further protection.
- Carry out thorough disinsection using personal protective equipment.
- Do some general cleaning. The result will depend on how you carry it out. Because eggs can be removed with a wet cloth and a vacuum cleaner.
- Carry out preventive measures. A fumigator, essential oils, plants and wet cleaning are suitable for these purposes. You should also periodically check the sleeping place of your pet and itself.

Review
Fleas attacked the apartment in the spring. We moved to the first floor and could not even think that we would encounter these parasites. Neighbors recommended the Raptor aquafumigator. At first I was skeptical about it, since a spray of the same brand did not help my mother when her dog became infected with fleas and brought them into the apartment. But the aquafumigator coped with its task! Now I recommend this drug to everyone.
Irina, Moscow
The disadvantage of this product is that disinfestation cannot be carried out in the presence of apartment residents, so it is necessary to ensure the absence of household members for 3-4 hours.

Danger of insects
Earth flea bites are far from harmless. On the contrary, they pose a great danger to humans. First of all, it is severe itching and allergic reactions. Even anaphylactic shock cannot be ruled out. Bite wounds can fester and eczema forms in their place. Infection is also possible .
In addition, fleas carry dangerous, fatal diseases . These are typhus, plague, hepatitis, encephalitis, salmonellosis. Fleas are also carriers of helminths: cucumber tapeworm, nematodes, and toxocara. Added to this is sleep disturbance due to fear of bites, the inability to invite guests, and, as a result, extreme stress.
In case of bites, you should never scratch them to avoid infection. First, the wounds should be washed with soap and water. Then treat with an antiseptic, for example Chlorhexidine. To eliminate swelling and itching, use antigestamines and ointments. In particularly serious cases, you should consult a doctor. For animals, flea bites are no less dangerous. Small dogs or kittens can even die from parasite bites. Animals scratch itchy areas and can cause infection.
Product range
There are various devices and devices on the market. Electrofumigators using plates are one of the means of protection. They are plugged into horizontal sockets so that the plates do not fall out of the device. More modern models have a fork that rotates, so this device can be used in both horizontal and vertical positions. The plates are valid for 12 hours, the maximum coverage area is 20 square meters.
Insecticides have different odors. Some smell sharp and unpleasant, others fill the room with the aroma of citruses, tea, and various herbs. But aromatic additives can cause an undesirable reaction in the body, so drugs that do not have any odor are more popular.
How plates with a certain insecticide work is already known. Manufacturers guarantee that after 15-20 minutes of using the device, mosquitoes will die. This efficiency is pleasing, but it also forces you to carefully read the instructions provided by the manufacturer in order to know how to use the plates correctly without endangering yourself and your children.
Among the variety of drugs, the following have proven themselves well:
- Children's mosquito repellent plates from Nekusayka series. The protective substance contains not only an insecticide, but also chamomile extract. A special design of the electric fumigator has also been created that children cannot disassemble. If the child does take the device apart, he will not want to lick its components, since they are specially coated with a bitter substance. There are also ones that work for 8 hours, so they are convenient to take on vacation, fishing, or hiking.
- Trademark mosquito repellents, Gentle Protection series. They are good because they have no odor and are safer for adults and children. Customer reviews of this product confirm its good effectiveness and the absence of any side effects.
- Nezhenka plates for use in rooms where children are located, brands.
- Killer. Plates from a Russian manufacturer, which contain pyrethrum - a natural substance. They are odorless, the action begins 10-15 minutes after turning on the device. One plate is enough for 12 hours. They do not pose a danger to people and animals.
- (PICNIC Favily). The plates are produced in Russia. There are 10 pieces in one package. The active substance is prallethrin, it is non-toxic. Also contains Dalmatian chamomile and: tea tree and. The plates should not be used if there are children under 5 years of age in the room. The validity period of one piece is 10 hours. Can be used in conjunction with any type of fumigator.
Despite the fact that manufacturers try to make their products as safe as possible, individual reactions to the plates still exist. To avoid problems, you should adhere to the following recommendations:
- a fumigator is used several hours before the child goes to bed;
- if the child begins to sleep restlessly, or has a runny nose, watery eyes, sneezing or coughing, the device must be turned off immediately, then ventilate the room and no longer use this type of plate;
- the electronic device should be placed at a distance of one meter from the baby’s bed;
- when using the device, it is recommended to close the fish aquarium (if there is one in the house), since the insecticide may be dangerous for aquatic inhabitants;
- observe fire safety measures.
If everything is done correctly, then restful sleep and relaxation in nature are guaranteed to all family members.
Mosquito plates
Today, few people will be surprised by an ordinary home fumigator. It is easy to use, cheap and very effective. In just a few hours of operation, it will kill all the insects in the room, and if you turn it on all night, it will even make it possible to sleep with the windows open without mosquito nets. However, is it as harmless as the manufacturers claim?
Rules for disinfestation in an apartment
Carrying out flea disinfestation
- If there is a cat or dog in the house, treatment begins with the animal. You can remove fleas from a cat or dog using pharmaceutical products. Veterinary pharmacies offer a wide selection of flea medications for pets: shampoos, sprays, drops, collars for various breeds of cats, dogs, their weight category and coat thickness. After eliminating parasites on an animal, you should put a flea collar on it to prevent re-infestation. If drops were used on the withers, the effect of which lasts 1-3 months, there is no need to use the accessory.
- It is imperative to treat all pet accessories: cat or dog bedding, toys, accessories, houses. Pests can be destroyed by boiling or using a solution of flea medication that was used on the animal.
- Wet and dry cleaning in the apartment. Females do not bother laying eggs in a quiet, secluded place; they do it on the go, as a result of which the embryos scatter throughout the room. Eggs are found in furniture upholstery, children's toys, and carpet pile. Using a vacuum cleaner can significantly reduce the number of eggs.
- Textiles and bedding must be treated with a steam generator or subjected to another method of temperature exposure: washing at high temperatures, treatment with a hot iron sole, exposure to sunlight or freezing if sub-zero temperatures are recorded outside.
- All accessible surfaces must be washed with a disinfectant solution.
- When using insecticides against fleas, you should take care of your own safety. All work should be carried out wearing a respirator, closed clothing, and gloves.
- During disinfestation, no household members or animals should be in the apartment. Aquariums and insectariums are covered with glass.
- Flea poison is applied to furniture, baseboards, and walls at a distance of 1 meter from the floor. Particular attention should be paid to places where household waste and flower pots are stored, since this is where flea larvae prefer to live.
- At the end of the procedure, leave the apartment for 2-3 hours, after which it is ventilated.
- In case of severe infestation, the treatment is repeated after 4-5 days.
Principle of operation
The Raptor aquafumigator is a system for eliminating insects using the chemical compound tsifentorin, which has the ability to paralyze the nervous system of adult individuals. This domestic development has a wide spectrum of action due to its operating mechanism. A few minutes after turning on the device, the production of tiny particles of an aqueous suspension saturated with a toxic substance occurs. Cold steam easily overcomes all barriers, settles on surfaces, and penetrates into upholstered furniture.
The water particles sprayed by the aquafumigator are so small that they spread freely in the most inaccessible places. This is extremely important when exterminating bedbugs that breed in pillows, mattresses and sofa backs. This disinsection method is considered the most effective, since the neurotoxic poison does not settle on objects, but penetrates inside along with the water suspension.
The Raptor aquafumigator for cockroaches or bedbugs contains a toxic substance whose molecular weight and density are extremely low. Thanks to this feature, the smallest suspension does not fall onto the treated surfaces, but floats in the air for some time. This allows you to completely disinfect the room - from ceiling to floor.
Cifentorin is stable in open air. A few days after spraying cold steam, its concentration remains unchanged.
The chemical compound does not have a toxic effect on warm-blooded animals:
- adults and children;
- cats, dogs;
- guinea pigs, hamsters, rabbits.
But after penetrating inside the body of insects, tsifentorin rapidly spreads throughout the cells and tissues. The nervous system turns out to be completely paralyzed, insects lose the ability to move and reproduce.
Before using the aquafumigator, you need to move the aquarium house to a safe place.
Feasibility of use
The aerosol allows you to get rid of insects in any case. How fast this will be depends on the effort of the person and the contamination of the room. If the insects have not had time to breed, 1 treatment will be enough. But it must be done carefully and according to all the rules. If there are a large number of bloodsuckers, repeated treatment may be required after 10–14 days. Then it will take a month to fight. It should also be understood that if the cause is not established, then infection can occur one after another and Raptor has nothing to do with it. If fleas are brought by a pet, then along with disinfestation of the premises, you need to deal with them as well. There are plenty of funds. There would be desire and a little patience.
You can get rid of fleas much faster than, say, bedbugs. They are sensitive to poisons and do not develop immunity. Habituation occurs in rare cases. But this drug remains effective even under such conditions. There are several active substances. If one doesn't work, the other will kill.
There is no need to use strong concentrates. The processing will be the same, the principle of action does not change, but the toxicity increases.
Efficiency
Action of aquafumigator
The results of the aquafumigator are superior to sprays, concentrated liquids, traps, repellers, dusts, and gels. The action of the product begins immediately after the release of smoke, the result does not take long to arrive. All that is required is to ensure the tightness of the room, warn neighbors, worry about safety, and turn off the fire alarm, if any.
On a note!
Smoke bombs have a similar effect on insects.
Reviews about the Raptor aquafumigator for cockroaches are mostly positive, but sometimes they are not in favor of the drug.
The only insecticidal product that helped us. We tried to get rid of the cockroaches for a long time; we no longer had the strength to do anything. The last hope remained in the aquafumigator. We did everything according to the instructions. We left for 3 hours. An unpleasant smell spread through the room with the first puff of smoke. The fog remains impenetrable after half an hour of disinfestation. It took a long time to ventilate, but the dead cockroaches on the floor were pleasing. I used a broom to remove insects with great pleasure. The apartment was additionally treated after 2 weeks. I was very afraid of the reappearance of cockroaches in the apartment. It's okay for now. We live quietly for six months.
Irina, Moscow
We bought fashion products. Very convenient to use compared to other Raptor products. There is no need to pound the solution or spray the whole house. They put me in the middle of the room and left not for 3 hours, but for the whole night. They took a small child with them and grabbed a cat. Upon returning, I was not impressed with the result. A couple of dead insects, several individuals dying. It smelled terrible, it took almost 4 hours to ventilate. But the most interesting thing was ahead; by evening the Prussians appeared again, alive and well. No further comments. We had to call exterminators to kill the cockroaches.
Tatiana, St. Petersburg
We live in an old multi-storey building. In the basement, the cockroaches were bothering everyone, they decided to call the SES and poison them. They arrived, conscientiously carried out treatment against cockroaches, but after their visit, all the residents of the first floors howled. The red Prussians crawled up. After consulting together, we decided to use the aquafumigator simultaneously in all apartments. The most important thing is to ensure tightness, so that the residents of the upper floors of the house do not say “thank you” to us. We decided, we did it. At the end of 3 hours, everyone went home with interest. This is how we dealt with it together. A second insect control treatment was not required.

Smoke bombs
Smoke bombs for fleas
It is advisable to use flea fumigators in the form of smoke bombs when the premises are extremely infested with fleas. More suitable for exterminating parasites in basements and entrances.
There are several variants of checkers, differing in the set of active components. Sulfur compounds and insecticides are used.
The effect of smoke fumigators lasts about 2 hours. After thorough ventilation, the poison evaporates and finally disappears on the surface after washing with water with the addition of baking soda and laundry soap.
Fumigators are dangerous to others. Disinsection should be carried out using a respirator. Leave the room 5 minutes after smoke appears. Ensure the room is completely sealed.
- place the checker on a fireproof base,
- set fire to
- leave the room for 2 hours 5 minutes after smoke appears.
Disadvantages: fire hazard, unpleasant odor that lasts for a long time after treatment. Advantages - rapid destruction of fleas and larvae at different stages of development. Smoke penetrates into any cracks, leaving fleas no chance of survival. However, it does not affect eggs. To completely eradicate the parasite population, it is recommended to re-treat after 14 days.
Effective means – Quiet Evening, Mukhoyar, Climate, Fas, City. The average price of products is 250 rubles.
Buyers' opinion
Reviews of the Raptor aquafumigator against bedbugs confirm the effectiveness of the product.
We decided to try a new product - a fumigator. Raptor has never failed with mosquitoes; it has earned trust as a fumigator against these parasites. Convenient to use, no need to set it on fire. The smell is present, but disappears quickly. Kills house bugs, but after 2 weeks they repeated it again. If the room is heavily infested, another insecticidal preparation must be used. In terms of effectiveness, it is between an aerosol and a concentrate.
Oleg, Moscow
We removed the parasites with a fumigator the first time. Convenient tool. No need to run around with a spray can for bed bugs, it will do everything itself. Better than an aerosol. They installed them in every room in the apartment. The room was left closed for 3 hours. Aired it out and the smell disappeared almost immediately. There is no need to be afraid that a fire will start during the destruction of parasites, everything is provided for. Good Raptor products help get rid of bedbugs the first time.
Natalya, St. Petersburg
It is allowed to use an effective means for prevention. Can be used in any room. Refers to low-hazard substances. When used correctly, it does not harm humans or domestic animals, but is dangerous for fish and amphibians.
