Mosquito repellent Raptor is one of the most effective means of protecting your premises from blood-sucking insects. The fumigator first appeared in the late 90s of the last century. Convenient, effective, safe products were immediately loved by the population, since the problem with mosquitoes indoors was solved in 5 minutes. Raptor mosquito repellent is produced in two versions - plates and liquid. The product occupies a leading position in sales during the warm season.
general description
Raptor mosquito repellents have been produced in the Russian Federation for many years.
Today such goods can be found in the markets of many foreign countries. It is “Raptor” that is preferred by most consumers. Such a great demand is primarily due, of course, to the advantages of this substance over its analogues. The drug "Raptor" is characterized by the following factors.
- Maximum level of efficiency. Absolutely all of its types that are on the market today very quickly destroy annoying mosquitoes.
- Long shelf life - about 2 years.
- Safe composition. It is completely safe for humans. The preparation contains substances that have a negative effect exclusively on insects.
- Simplicity and ease of use.
- Reasonable cost and availability. You can buy the product in any store at a low price.
- Mobility. The assortment includes varieties of “Raptor” that can also be used outdoors. This is very convenient, as you can take them with you fishing, nature, or dacha.
- Compactness.
It is worth noting that before entering the consumer market, the drug undergoes a number of laboratory tests that confirm the effectiveness and safety of the product.
The main substance acting on mosquitoes in the Raptor product is d-allethrin. This is a new generation poison that does not harm the health of humans and animals, of course, if its dose is insignificant. However, it has a detrimental effect on blood-sucking insects. When a mosquito inhales the aroma of a drug that contains even a small amount of poison, it is paralyzed, and after 15 minutes the pest dies.
Safety
Both Raptor products are safe for humans and pets when used correctly. At the moment, there are no cases of poisoning with these drugs. Poisoning with a fumigator is possible only in cases where the product is stored in a place accessible to children or pets - they can open the packaging and swallow the contents of the jar. The concentration of cyphenothrin in the drug is not enough to kill a person or large animal, but it can cause poisoning. Cyphenothrin poisoning is manifested by nausea, convulsions, increased salivation, sweating and lethargy.
What you should know
When using the product, you must follow the safety rules:
- Plug the drug into a working, working outlet that is located a meter away from the bed;
- In an apartment with small children, it is better to use liquid or plates in a fumigator created specifically for children;
- Do not handle the operating device with wet hands;
- Indoors where there are pregnant women or people suffering from allergic reactions, use is not recommended;
- Do not use in an apartment where birds or aquarium fish live, they cannot tolerate the release of toxic substances and die.
The drug must be stored in places that are difficult for children to reach, and also ensure that the product does not get wet, otherwise it will be ineffective.
Raptor is a popular mosquito repellent that provides protection indoors or outdoors. The composition contains a modern poisonous component that has a paralytic effect on bloodsuckers, after which death occurs. At low concentrations, Raptor repels mosquitoes; at high concentrations, it has a destructive effect. A special safe series is produced for apartments where small children live.
Bedbug treatment areas
Since the bug mainly leads a sedentary nocturnal lifestyle and feeds on blood, we will look for it not far from our vacation spots. Beds, sofas and all bedside furniture. We process:
- Mattresses seams, labels, zippers.
- Sofa cushions, furniture frames, joints of elements.
- Back side of carpets, paintings.
- Bedside tables, chests of drawers (bottom, pull-out shelves, back wall), poufs.
- Gaps in the floor and baseboards.
- Bedside electrical appliances, sockets and switches (disconnect power in advance).
- Places under the window sill and heating panels.
- Joints and places where wallpaper does not fit tightly.
For prevention, we will treat ventilation shafts, entrance door frames and window frames. Carry out the cleaning after 2 - 3 days, the presence of corpses will indicate the effectiveness of the treatment, if you need to repeat disinsection, do it in a week. Raptor spray can be used in the initial stages of infection or as a preventive measure. If the premises are severely infested, resort to the use of more powerful drugs, such as Confidant, Averfos, Cypermethrin, Agran, Fufanon, Alatar, Get, Medilis, etc.
-Doctor. My head itches! - Darling, you got bitten by bugs. - Is it possible to take them out? - Certainly. It's $10 from you. - Well, we have free medicine! - Hm-yes. It looks like the bugs have already reached the convolutions.

What are there
According to the principle of heating activation, the fumigator comes in two types:
- Electric. Connects to the network via an outlet, uses batteries or a rechargeable battery. The main element is a microresistor. It heats up to about 150°C. Bottles with toxic liquid or plates impregnated with a repellent composition are attached to the device;
- Pyrotechnic. It is a spiral or plate made of wood flour. The solution has already been applied to the canvas. Ignites with fire. Combustion of the material is accompanied by the release of odorous smoke.
Ultrasonic and light. Fumigators occupy a separate category. The name is given for the result. In fact, this is a slightly different device, since the work is not based on vapors or gases. The device turns on from the mains, begins to make a sound or emit light, which has a negative effect on mosquitoes.
Liquid
It is a fumigator with a removable transparent container containing liquid with the active substance. Action lasts up to 60 nights. Raptor mosquito repellent liquid is odorless, does not irritate the human respiratory tract, and does not affect the well-being of humans or pets when used correctly.
Operating principle
Fumigator Raptor for protection against insects
The active component is an insecticidal substance developed by Japanese scientists - etok. It begins to act when heated - it is released into the air in small portions. How Raptor acts on mosquitoes can be seen with the naked eye. Insects rise up to the ceiling, fly randomly, do not land on a person, and after a while they fall immobilized. The subsidence of the mosquito squeak indicates the rapid effectiveness of the fumigator.
On a note!
The principle of operation is extremely simple. This disrupts the functioning of the nervous system, causing paralysis and quick death. Not only mosquitoes, but also other flying blood-sucking insects are affected by the substance. The Raptor product frees the room from midges and flies, and helps to cope with fleas and bed bugs.
Usage
The operating instructions are straightforward. In the evening, you should plug the mosquito fumigator into an outlet and leave it overnight. After only 5 minutes of operation of the device, the mosquito squeaking subsides, within half an hour the pests die, others do not fly into the room even with open windows and doors. One bottle lasts approximately 60 nights.
- The instructions for use contain some prohibitions on the use of the fumigator - small children under 3 years old, a room with an area of less than 5 square meters. In other cases, use the Raptor fumigator without restrictions.
- In a closed room, you should turn on the device half an hour before bedtime, after which you can turn it off. With the windows open, the fumigator works all night.
- In rare cases, individual intolerance to this substance appears. The person feels weak, headache, dizzy. In this case, use of the product is prohibited.
Proper preparation for disinfection
The instructions included with the device warn that the toxic substance is enough to treat 1-2 rooms.
Advice
If the size of the room exceeds these values, then it makes sense to purchase a larger number of aquafumigators and place them at an equal distance from each other
You should pay attention to areas where insects appear more often and treat them first.
The device is not difficult to use; you just need to follow the steps described in the instructions step by step.
- Put food in the refrigerator.
- Place children's supplies, books, toys in a sealed bag.
- Do the same with dishes and personal hygiene products.
- Open all the cabinets, lay out the chairs and sofas.
- Seal the hood with any adhesive tape.
It is better to use stationery or masking tape as tape. The hood is sealed to prevent insects from crawling into the neighboring apartment, from where they can return in a few days.
Aquarium fish are not warm-blooded, so they should be moved to a safe place. Despite the fact that tsifentorin helps to quickly get rid of cockroaches, the aquafumigator is harmless even for hamsters when used. But there is a risk of individual intolerance to the toxic compound.
It’s worth making an agreement in advance with friends or relatives and giving them the animals for a couple of days.
After turning on the device, steam begins to form and quickly spreads throughout the room. For some people, the water suspension provokes a sore throat, watery eyes and cough. To prevent possible allergic reactions, you should leave the room during the treatment.
Device Features
Raptor is a great way to get rid of mosquitoes in an apartment or house. High efficiency and simple principle of use are the main advantages of the device.
A mosquito fumigator is a heating element located in a plastic container, which has special wicks and plates impregnated with an insecticidal substance. It is enough to plug the Raptor into a mosquito repellent outlet and, under the influence of temperature, the chemical components begin to evaporate, negatively affecting insects.
Reasons for appearance
Where do midges come from in an apartment? Midges are attracted to treats:
- rotten fruits, melons, grapes;
- tomato peel remaining after collecting juice;
- fermented beer or wine;
- sour compote;
- juicy fruits, beautifully laid out in a vase in the kitchen;
- food stored on the table instead of the refrigerator.
Other factors that provoke a midge invasion:
- wet rags in the kitchen and bathroom;
- rotten tea leaves in flowerpots (a natural product is often used by housewives to fertilize the soil);
- an uncovered trash can with rotting food waste;
- high humidity in flower pots, water in plates under flowerpots due to excessive watering.
An abundance of food, spoiled foods, heat plus high humidity are an ideal environment for the development of fruit flies. Tiny fruit flies are also brought into the home by fruit from the supermarket that contains insect larvae.
Plates
Raptor mosquito repellent plates
Mosquito protection in the form of plates with a formidable dinosaur on the packaging is familiar to everyone. This was the first product of the Raptor brand for the destruction of bloodsuckers in a residential area. The green plates are in sealed packaging individually and are sold together with a small device - a fumigator.
Operating principle
Raptor mosquito repellent plates act similarly to liquid. When heated, an active substance is released into the air - an insecticide with a nerve-paralytic effect. The active composition is identical - it's the same. The plates are saturated and the insecticide is activated when the temperature rises.
Usage
Using the fumigator is very simple. It is necessary to remove the plate from the packaging, place it in a special section of the device, and connect it to an outlet. In a closed room, connect the device half an hour before bedtime; with the windows open, leave the device on all night. You can notice the harmful effect of the active substance on mosquitoes after 5 minutes.
On a note!
Do not use the same plate several nights in a row. Outwardly, it practically does not change, but after 10 hours of work, the active substance completely disappears, further use of the product is pointless.
Operating principle
The product is made in the form of flat rectangular strips of cardboard impregnated with the active substance. The plates are activated using special fumigator devices due to heating and evaporation of toxic impregnation.
The product retains its anti-mosquito effect for 8 hours, after which it changes color to white. The maximum area of the room covered by protective fumes is 20 m2.
The plates are produced in sets of 10 pieces, each of which is sealed in a sealed compartment. The product contains fragrances to give the product a pleasant aroma and insecticides:
- D-allethrin and its derivative esbiotrin. The substance paralyzes the nervous system of mosquitoes and leads to their death.
- DEET. A universal toxin that destroys most insect pests.
- Isopropanol An alcohol whose toxic effect exceeds that of ethanol. Along with the plates, it is part of aerosol sprays against mosquitoes.
- Prallethrin. A synthetic pyrethroid that instantly kills blood-sucking insects.
As additional components, natural repellents are added to the impregnation for the plates - extracts and essential oils of chamomile, cloves, eucalyptus and other plants that repel insects in the wild.
Spirals and rods
In addition to products for electronic devices, Raptor is also produced in the form of pyrotechnic fumigators - spirals and rods. To trigger their toxic effect, you need to set fire to the free edge of a pressed tube soaked in insecticide and leave it to smolder.
This method of mosquito protection is good because it protects people within a radius of 3 m, lasts 7 hours and is safe for people and pets. D-allethrin kills the first insects within the first 15 minutes and acts until the spiral completely fades.
Smoldering fumigators are used only outdoors due to their toxicity when the permissible concentration is exceeded. Like other insecticides in the series, Raptor is not recommended for use in places where there are children and pregnant women.
When using spirals and rods, it is not necessary to monitor them, but it is recommended to follow fire safety rules:
- use a metal, ceramic or glass stand;
- do not install near flammable objects;
- keep away from animals and children.
Raptor is a trusted manufacturer that produces some of the most popular mosquito repellents in a variety of convenient formats. Depending on where a person wants to protect himself and his family from insects - indoors or outdoors, everyone can find a suitable effective remedy.
Aerosols
Raptor sprays are designed for collective protection of a group of people outdoors. A preparation based on the insecticide transfluthrin is sprayed near the resting place to protect against attacks by mosquitoes, fleas, ticks, mosquitoes, ants and flies.
It is recommended to treat shrubs and trees, outdoor tents and fences of gazebos in the country with an aerosol. Spraying is carried out for 7–8 seconds at a distance of 55–60 cm from the object of application.
The duration of action of the product in dry weather is 8 hours, but decreases in strong winds and precipitation. Aerosol Raptor is produced in 400 ml bottles.
The spray is not recommended for use on skin or clothing, or for use near small children and pregnant women. To avoid the sprayed insecticide getting on the mucous membranes, treatment is carried out in the direction of the wind, directing the stream away from you.
Pyrotechnics and their features
The plate or spiral must be disconnected from the set if there are several of them in the package. The device is quite fragile and requires careful handling. Then the fumigator is placed on a fireproof base. This could be a plate made of tempered glass, porcelain, a piece of brick, stone or a metal element. The tip is set on fire with a lighter or match, and the flame is immediately blown out until it smolders. There should be some smoke left. The space should be at least 1 m free on each side of the fumigator.
The spiral can be hung. The main thing is to maintain a distance from people, animals and flammable objects.
This product is best used in open spaces. In outdoor conditions, you can place several pieces at once around the perimeter on the non-windy side.
Indoor use is possible, but not recommended. It is permissible to fumigate a room of up to 20 square meters, provided the windows and doors are open. The duration of smoking is no more than 15 minutes. Be sure to ventilate for half an hour afterward. The person must leave during processing.
Strict precautions are required due to the toxic composition. The main substance is most often allethrin, esbiothrin, and less often pyrethrin. The poison is especially dangerous for insects and fish.
The main advantages of pyrotechnic fumigators:
- Possibility of outdoor use. It can be difficult to turn on an electric device at the dacha, during a fishing trip or a picnic. The spiral will easily work in outdoor conditions. Also suitable for non-glazed loggias, balconies and verandas;
- duration of protection. Burning is smooth and can be kept in an open space for up to several hours;
- efficiency. Blood-sucking animals are very sensitive to allethrin and its brothers, they lose orientation in space, die, and are isolated away from the source. Reduces the need to apply skin repellents;
- low cost. Pyrotechnic spirals are much cheaper than devices and also save energy. One piece can be set on fire several times if it is not used entirely at once.
The disadvantages are also obvious:
- toxicity. It creates problems for home use, can cause poisoning if safety precautions are not followed, it is undesirable to use it near children and pregnant women;
- incompatibility with fish. It is forbidden to light a spiral in the same room with aquariums and directly on the banks of reservoirs;
- fire hazard.
Conclusion: Suitable for limited situations, mainly during outdoor recreation.
How does an aquafumigator work?
The active substance is in a metal container. When water is added, a reaction occurs that produces steam. It is able to penetrate everywhere, destroying cockroaches even in the most secluded corners. This makes it possible to get insects everywhere. Cyphenothrin is a nerve agent. The effect of the product lasts for a long time.
Aquafumigator
Review
I had an awful lot of cockroaches. All sorts of gels didn't help much. For some reason I didn’t trust such means as an aquafumigator. But I decided to try it one day. She brought it, installed it, and left the house with the children. We also had to take the animals with us. We returned home about 4 hours later. There was a strong fog in the apartment, the stench was terrible. I sent the children and the dogs for a walk and rushed to get some air. Although by the time I got to the balcony, I thought I was going to cough up my lungs. The reaction to this smell is very unpleasant. But my cockroaches didn’t like this either. And immediately there were a lot of dead people, and then they continued to die. But still, I’m unlikely to risk using it again if I can’t find somewhere to go for a day - the eldest child managed to get pretty sick.

Is the Raptor fumigator harmful for children?
Of course, one can hardly call a fumigator useful for small children. However, you need to understand that mosquito bites are even more harmful. Here you have to choose the lesser of two evils. That is why experts recommend using a fumigator in children's rooms. Of course, there should be certain concerns. For example, the use of this device is contraindicated for small allergy sufferers. For infants, you can use fumigators with plates that emit less active substances. This product is developed specifically for young children.
Is the Raptor fumigator harmful to animals?
In the instructions you can find information that the Raptor fumigator is safe not only for humans, but also for pets. Experience shows that when a high-quality fumigator is turned on, animals lie calmly in their place. You will notice that nothing bothers them. Of course, if the turned on device had a negative effect on pets, they would try to stay away from the working device. But this doesn't happen. From this we can conclude that the active substances that destroy insects are absolutely safe for the “younger brothers”.
How much does it cost to buy Raptor for mosquitoes?
As we have already found out, to safely use the Raptor fumigator, you need to take care of purchasing a high-quality device. To do this, it is recommended to contact only specialized retail outlets and online stores. Don't be confused by the fact that the goods here will be a little more expensive than on the market. This way you can be sure that you are purchasing original and safe products. Some stores also hold seasonal promotions. During this period, you will be able to purchase the necessary goods at significant discounts.
Fumigators for liquid and plates are sold separately. You can also purchase a whole set consisting of the device itself and replacement plates or a bottle of liquid. The cost of a set for 30 nights is about 230 rubles. The price of a separate bottle of liquid is 160 rubles. To purchase the device itself you will need to spend about 70 rubles.
Rules of application
Aquafumigator Raptor
Both Raptor and other types of aquafumigators contain potent poisons. When working with this product, safety must be observed to avoid poisoning.
After preparing the premises, open the packaging and take out the container. A small amount of water is poured into a plastic jar (a bucket of ice cream, mayonnaise, etc.). The container is placed inside the jar. Placed in all rooms. Removed from the apartment before the active steam release phase.
Important!
The room should remain locked for at least 3 hours, but the effect will be greater if you do not return to the apartment for 6-8 hours. Upon returning, all rooms must be thoroughly ventilated. Wash your hands with soap.
The Raptor aquafumigator for cockroaches, reviews of which can be seen below, is recommended to be used again after 3-4 weeks: after new cockroaches hatch from the eggs.
Review
Somehow we missed the moment when cockroaches appeared, not paying attention to them while there were few insects. We caught ourselves when they were almost walking over our heads. My wife and I decided that nonsense like gels and sprays would not save us. We decided, fortunately in Moscow there are no problems with this. Before the call, I began to monitor what was currently being produced in this area. Well, I saw aquafumigators. I decided to try it before calling specialists. The family had just left for the sanatorium, and I and the men were getting ready to go fishing.
I placed them everywhere: in each room, in the kitchen, in the hallway, in the bathroom and toilet. I wanted to stand and see how it would all happen, but already at the initial stage of steam production I could not breathe. Left. Three days later I returned, the house no longer stank much. I aired everything out, removed the corpses of insects, and washed everything. There were no complaints from neighbors about the smell. And with just one treatment they disappeared! Of course, a month later there was a repeat, but not so much - I installed only three things for the entire apartment. Well, I sealed all the cracks so that this disgrace would not happen again.

To avoid increased concentrations of insecticide in the air, it is not recommended to use Raptor in rooms that are too small - less than 5 square meters. In large rooms, to increase the effectiveness of the drug, several fumigators should be turned on in different sides of the room. Otherwise, a person is faced with a situation where Raptor does not help.
Do not use the product in a room where children under 3 years of age sleep. The ban is associated with the baby’s weak immune system, and the development of individual intolerance is possible.
