Raptor mosquito repellent in a socket: varieties and instructions

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.

How does a mosquito fumigator work?

A fumigator against flies, midges and mosquitoes is a device that heats an insecticide placed in it.
This could be a liquid chemical or a special plate soaked in mosquito poison. Under the influence of heat, the insecticide begins to evaporate and the vapors of this poison scatter around the fumigator, affecting insects. The energy source for heating is either electricity (these are home fumigators that are plugged into an outlet) or battery energy (this is how a portable battery-powered outdoor fumigator works). Typically, prallethrin or diethyltoluamide is used as a fumigant, that is, a toxic substance. It is considered harmless to warm-blooded creatures, which means humans, dogs, cats and other hamsters. But how does a fumigator work on mosquitoes and other cold-blooded creatures? Nervously paralytic, which means first paralysis of insects, and then their rapid death. This fumigator helps against midges, mosquitoes and other flying insects. This, by the way, is the difference between a fumigator and repellents. The latter only drive away mosquitoes, which can give a less noticeable result. True, this result is only possible indoors. As an outdoor mosquito fumigator, it will be ineffective.

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.

Choosing mosquito repellents

When choosing the best option, you need to consider several factors:

• Under what circumstances is the struggle being waged? If you are planning a trip to nature, then in this case all means of protection will be suitable, except for plates and a fumigator (a device used with mosquito repellent liquid and plates). If an insect attack occurs at home, then it is much more effective to purchase liquid. It is completely odorless and the active substance evaporates faster.
• Price category. The price of mosquito repellent plays a very significant role. Not every person can afford to purchase an expensive product, even despite all its advantages.
• Harm to health. The most important factor. Not a single person in the world wants to get burns, injuries, or poisoning while fighting harmful mosquitoes, so it is vitally important to carefully read the composition and follow the rules of use. When using Raptor mosquito repellent in an outlet, the instructions are required to be read.

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.

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.

Application of liquid

Raptor mosquito repellent liquid, which contains a pyrethroid, can combat mosquito attacks. This insecticide is contained in chamomile - today it is synthesized artificially. Liquid mosquito repellent Raptor The liquid insecticide is bottled, each of which has instructions for use. It is enough to insert the container with the product into the body of the device and plug it into a power outlet so that the contents of the bottle begin to be sprayed into the air. The result becomes noticeable after 0.5-1 hour

The effectiveness of the procedure depends on the duration of exposure to the device. A small concentration of the substance in the air only repels insects. A stronger saturation of toxic components can even cause the death of pests. The liquid insecticide has virtually no harm to humans. It is only possible that you are allergic to the active ingredient. To avoid leakage of the insecticidal substance, the bottle with liquid must stand vertically (neck up).

Long shelf life is another advantage of Raptor liquid. It retains its properties for 5 years. The cost of the product varies between 250-300 rubles. If the component runs out, you can make the fumigator liquid yourself.

Plates for children

Children's Raptor plates have the same principle of operation as for adults. When the device is connected to the network, the plate heats up from the ceramic element and begins to gradually release the active substance into the air.

Children's plates Raptor

Particles of the drug penetrate the insect's respiratory system and paralyze the insect's nervous system, leading to its death.

The plates contain two powerful insecticides:

• Pyrethrum is one of the very first human-created insecticides of plant origin. It is obtained from Caucasian chamomile. It combines high efficiency and harmlessness, even for a child’s body.
• Etok is a substance with pronounced effectiveness. It was created by Japanese scientists and has a strong nerve-paralytic effect.

The combination of these two potent insecticides provides reliable and gentle protection against blood-sucking insects in the apartment.

Characteristics of the drug:

• One plate provides 8 hours of restful baby sleep.
• The drug is designed for use indoors.
• The plates are odorless and do not cause allergic reactions in children.
• One package contains 10 plates.

Raptor Anti-mosquito protection for children

To ensure healthy sleep for children and adults, it is recommended to take adequate measures to combat blood-sucking insects. However, if the child is under three years old, then you should provide him with other safe methods of protection and consider having mosquito nets on the windows.

Impact on humans

There are no completely safe plates and liquids for killing insects. Any product contains components that have a toxic effect on humans. When using repellents, you must carefully read the instructions on the package. It indicates how long the fumigator is turned on.

The device should not be left running all night, especially in a small room with closed windows. After using it, ventilate the room. Some types of drugs should not be used in rooms where pregnant women and small children live. A warning about this must be printed on the packaging.

The toxic substances included in the drug do not pose a danger to people due to their low concentration. They are used without consequences for a short time, but with prolonged exposure they poison not only parasites, but also humans. The insects will die, but people will also suffer. A fumigator that works all night can cause weakness, dizziness, nausea and vomiting.

Insecticides sometimes cause allergic reactions: lacrimation, runny nose, swelling of the mucous membranes of the throat and nose. This is due to the fact that their components are intolerable to a particular person. According to doctors, repellents cause allergies in 12% of people.

Fumigators should not be used to protect small children from mosquitoes. Isopropanol, diethylmethylbenzamide and other components in repellents pose a danger to children. In children, these drugs cause a sore throat, swelling in the nasopharynx, and in severe cases, convulsions may occur.

Fumigators should not be used in areas where children under 3 years of age are present. To protect small children, pregnant women and people prone to headaches from mosquitoes, it is better to use mosquito nets on windows. Folk remedies are also used to repel mosquitoes:

• clove oil;
• camphor;
• carbolic acid solution, which is used to treat hands and face;
• valerian.

Fumigation of juniper needles, pine and spruce cones with smoke gives good results.

Operating principle

Most of these remedies are fumigators. They are produced in different modifications, but have a similar operating principle: they contain a plate impregnated with the active substance or a bottle with liquid. When the device is connected to the mains, it heats up, facilitating the evaporation of the insecticide.

Insect repellent Raptor

Until recently, pyrethrin, which was extracted from chamomile flowers, was used to make repellent. Now the active substance is obtained artificially. A small concentration of pyrethrin in the air repels midges and mosquitoes, while a high concentration leads to paralysis and death of insects.

What you should know

When using a fumigator, precautions should be taken.

1. The device should only be plugged into a working outlet located at a distance of no closer than 1 m from the bed or sofa.
2. To protect a child’s sleep, it is preferable to use special plates or Raptor Nekusaika liquid. One plate is enough for 8 hours of work, a bottle of liquid is enough for a month.
3. When the fumigator is switched on, do not handle it with wet hands or leave it unattended.
4. It is not recommended to use the device in a room where there are pregnant women and people prone to allergies; there are safer mosquito repellents for pregnant women.
5. Aquarium fish and birds cannot tolerate toxic fumes that evaporate during operation.

The design of the repeller includes material impregnated with a substance that is aimed at getting rid of insects. A ventilation system is also included. Promotes the spread of particles of the substance that enter the respiratory system of bloodsuckers, thereby affecting them.

Aquafumigator

Insects need to be gotten rid of

An effective remedy against all types of insects, as well as their eggs. With the help of the active substance and a special vapor-forming agent, a reaction with water occurs. As a result, vapors of the active substance are formed, penetrating even into microcracks on the floor and walls. Instructions for use:

What are there

According to the principle of heating activation, the fumigator comes in two types:

1. 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;
2. 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.

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.

Fumitox

Fumitox for bedbugs is sold in the form of a gel placed in a syringe with a dispenser. The product contains active permethrin. The drug is odorless and after application retains its original properties for about 2 weeks. The gel is used to treat baseboards, furniture, cracks in floors, and bed legs.

Caution should be exercised near soiled objects, furniture, wallpaper, as the resulting stains are difficult to remove.

The effectiveness of the drug is inferior to aerosols and sprays. Poisoning of parasites is possible only after direct contact with the substance. Moreover, the gel is not dangerous for eggs, which is fraught with the unhindered growth of a new generation.

How does an aquafumigator differ from “hot” fog and smoke bombs?

As we said above, the aquafumigator is similar to “hot” fog and a smoke bomb in its principle of operation. However, the aquafumigator has some advantages that distinguish it from these types of premises treatment against parasites:

• What distinguishes Raptor from a smoke bomb is its fire safety and the fact that it does not emit any noticeable odor or fumes into the atmosphere. And unlike a checker, an aquafumigator does not cover furniture, walls, ceilings and floors with a white coating. In addition, Raptor is completely safe for the health of pregnant women. The same cannot be said about a smoke bomb.
• The smoke device also contains an insecticide, to which most types of pests have already developed an addiction. For example, checkers based on permethrin and cypermethrin. Experiments have shown that if you light a saber near a cockroach and leave it even for five hours, it will not die.
• Raptor differs from “hot” fog by its low cost. Now in hardware stores it is possible to purchase a complete set of aquafumigators for 450-500 rubles. But calling a specialist to treat an apartment with “hot” fog will cost the owners 3,000-4,000 rubles.

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.
