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.

Aerosol composition
Raptor provides the destruction of blood-sucking parasites and reliable protection against re-infection. The aerosol formula contains 3 insecticides:
- Cypermethrin. A second-generation pyrethroid that penetrates the chitinous shell into insects and blocks the transmission of nerve impulses. Immobilizes bedbugs and causes rapid death. Retains toxic properties on treated surfaces for 20-30 days;
- Tetramethrin. Pyrethroid class insecticide. Has a detrimental effect on the nervous system of insects, causing paralysis and death. Loses effectiveness with prolonged exposure to direct sunlight;
- Piperonyl butoxide. A substance that enhances the effect of pyrethroids. Accelerates the penetration of insecticides through a dense shell and is a catalyst for cypermethrin and tetramethrin.
An additional component of the composition is the solvent Eskol D 40 of organic origin.
Security measures
Remember that residential premises are treated using toxic pesticides that can harm the health of people and animals. Safety measures must not be neglected. Be sure to read the instructions for use and strictly follow the recommendations.
During the procedure, wear clothes that completely cover your body; you should wear gloves on your hands. When substances come into contact with the skin, allergic reactions occur, which are accompanied by irritation, rash, and inflammation. If the product gets on an open area of skin, immediately rinse thoroughly with water.
The respiratory tract must be protected with a respirator; toxic fumes are hazardous to health and can cause quite serious health problems. If you experience symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, weakness and other signs of poisoning, you should immediately go outside and call an ambulance. It is equally dangerous if the substance gets on the mucous membrane; if this happens, rinse with water and consult a doctor.
Insecticides are also dangerous for pets, so it is very important to move them to another room during treatment. Remember that small children and animals do not understand that you treated the apartment with poison, so they will lead their usual lifestyle
Things can rise from the floor and come into contact with a surface that, in our opinion, is inaccessible. It is very important to wash all surfaces after treatment to prevent dangerous situations.
Traps
This is a plastic disk with holes in the walls. There is bait with poison inside. The poisonous substance is fipronil 0.05% concentration. The bait contains a preservative and a gelling agent.
Cockroaches sneak through the holes and feast on the bait. The poison does not immediately kill the insect, but has a prolonged effect. The cockroach becomes a carrier of poison and gradually infects the entire colony. Fipronil disrupts the transmission of nerve impulses, causing insect paralysis and death.
Safe for humans. They can be placed in hard-to-reach places. The trap's effectiveness period is on average six months. The standard package consists of 6 traps. 2-3 traps are placed per 10 m2 area.
The advantages of traps include:
- Easy to use;
- Safety - toxic substances do not penetrate into the air and do not poison the atmosphere. Children and animals cannot get the poison from the trap.
- Long lasting effectiveness.
- There is no contact with surfaces, so no traces of the drug remain.
Flaws:
- High consumption of product (2-3 traps per 10 m2).
- Traps destroy the few individuals that fall into them. If the population is large, it is better to combine the drug with others.
The price of a package of 6 traps is about 220 rubles.
Advantages and disadvantages
When used correctly, the Raptor aerosol completely eliminates the bedbug population, leaving the apartment clean. The product has a number of positive qualities:
- due to the composition, which includes three strong insecticides, it acts quickly: insects experience paralysis and death within 15 minutes after exposure;
- since the concentration of toxic substances is insignificant, it is not very toxic and has no effect on the human body;
- has a barrier function, affecting insects entering the apartment for 2-3 weeks;
- has a pleasant aroma of jasmine or mint, without causing irritation during processing;
- does not leave stains or streaks after spraying surfaces, does not spoil soft coatings;
- affordable and sold in specialized departments of stores or online stores;
- does not cause any difficulties in use: it can be used to treat an apartment immediately after purchase;
- one cylinder is designed to treat a surface measuring 60 square meters, which indicates its efficiency.
All these positive qualities are fully manifested when the entire apartment and every corner of it have been exposed to the drug. Even if one of the rooms is not infested with bedbugs, they are able to lay eggs in it, so the effectiveness of the impact will be minimized.
You can hire professional exterminators who guarantee 100% results.
The drug has some disadvantages:
- insufficiently concentrated composition (typical of sprays), which may affect the effectiveness of killing blood-sucking insects;
- bedbugs have the ability to adapt to this product, which ceases to affect them;
- universality of use, that is, it is designed for different pests, which reduces the impact on a specific insect.
Note: If you purchased an aerosol, but you are going to spray it after some time, then you need to store the can away from heat and light. Its contents are under pressure and may ignite when heated.
Aerosol operating principle
The drug has a nerve-paralytic effect. During the spraying process, the product covers the surface to be treated with a thin layer. As they move, the parasites touch the poison. It penetrates the chitinous cover and disrupts the exchange of sodium and potassium ions. There is intense production of acetylcholine, a substance that provokes convulsions, paralysis and death.
Aerosol against bedbugs Raptor is produced in metal bottles with a capacity of 225 ml, equipped with sprayers. The kit includes additional attachments that make it easier to use the product to disinfect cracks and crevices.
The aerosol form of Raptor has advantages over other poisonous drugs.
- Available in finished form. The liquid does not need to be diluted with water to treat surfaces.
- It has a light, unobtrusive odor that does not cause unpleasant sensations.
- Ensures the death of bedbugs 1-2 days after the composition hits the chitinous shell.
The low concentration of toxic components guarantees the safety of the formula. The drug does not pose a threat to human health, but is harmful to bedbugs, ants and cockroaches. Insecticidal activity lasts 3 weeks. During this period, re-infection of housing is impossible.
Effect of the product on bedbugs
The composition of the “Raptor” product includes three active substances.
- Cypermethrin affects the nervous system of bedbugs, both adults and larvae. It causes the greatest damage on the first day of use, but remains active for 20 days. Resistant to sunlight;
- Tetramethrin is a nerve poison, slightly toxic to people and domestic animals;
- Piperonyl butoxide does not have a toxic effect on insects, but seriously enhances the effect of other components.
The product begins to act against the insect the moment it runs over the surface with the composition applied to it. When one pest meets another, the toxic composition can be transferred from individual to individual. The death of the parasite is observed within 24 hours after its contact with the poison.
However, the effectiveness against bedbugs is still lower than against other crawling insects. This is explained by the small concentrations of poison in the Raptor composition, as well as the general resistance of the bug to external influences.
The greatest effect is achieved if the product is applied directly to the nest or clutches of parasites.
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.
