Gel

Compound

The composition of the product includes an insecticide related to pyrethroids, lambda-cyhalothrin. They are characterized by contact-intestinal influence. The active substance penetrates the pest through the respiratory system. Under its influence the nervous system is paralyzed.

Mechanism of action on cockroaches

The substance lambda-cyhalothrin has a delayed effect. The cockroach spreads it, infecting other insects. Prolonged action is ensured by the presence of preservatives. They contribute to a long period of action, since the gel does not dry out.

Advantages and disadvantages

Raptor is sold in specialized stores. The convenient tube spout helps distribute the insecticide in hard-to-reach places. The insecticide is safe because it does not evaporate. The Raptor tube is designed for 10 m2, which is not economical enough. The insects disappear a few weeks after using the drug.

Instructions for use

Apply the gel to areas where cockroaches are concentrated. The composition is applied in dotted lines, at intervals of two centimeters. Disinsection will be effective if adjacent rooms are treated in parallel with the kitchen. Thorough cleaning should be done before using the product.

Step-by-step instruction

Shake the can vigorously.

Calculate the required amount of product for your premises.

Spray the product in places where insects accumulate

Pay special attention to baseboards, cracks, kitchen modules, and plumbing and sewer pipes. Also, don’t forget about household appliances; cockroaches prefer to settle in places that are so safe for their life.

It wouldn’t hurt to treat the surface of the floor, countertops and even walls.

You've probably noticed that it only takes a few seconds for cockroaches to scatter to secluded places if you unexpectedly disturb their evening stroll through your kitchen. This “super speed” is explained very simply, each Prussian does not just run away chaotically, but moves strictly along a certain route, along his own well-trodden path. This means that it is necessary to influence their horns so that part of the toxic composites enters the insects’ bodies through their legs and accelerates their death.

Close windows, vents, doors hermetically and leave the room for 30 - 60 minutes. There is no need to increase this time period, because the chemical elements contained in the composition undergo half-life very quickly.

After the specified time has passed, ventilate the apartment well. Now you can return to the room.

Aerosol

Compound

The main components are cypermethrin, tetramethrin and piperonyl butoxide. Cypermethrin is considered a second generation pyrethroid.

The principle of operation of the Raptor aerosol

Advantages and disadvantages

Aerosol Raptor is able to provide a quick effect due to the good distribution of the substance on a liquid basis. One can will be enough for 50 m2. Traces from spraying insecticide can be quickly removed from the surface. The disadvantage is the rapid volatilization of the insecticide, which requires re-treatment.

How to use it correctly

The room must be prepared in advance. Products must be carefully closed. Windows and doors are tightly closed. Shake the can before use. The room is closed during disinfestation and subsequently ventilated. The disinfestation cylinder is placed vertically and all hard-to-reach places are carefully treated.

Advantages and disadvantages

The disadvantages of the product include:

• a noticeable disappearance of the population occurs 7-12 days after application of the gel;

Compound

During the process, vapors that are poisonous to cockroaches are produced. The concentration of the substance is high, which destroys all pests.

Advantages and disadvantages

The peculiarity of checkers is their size, range and composition. Smoke penetrates into hard-to-reach areas of the room. Differs in the speed of impact on insects. The negative impact is manifested in the long-term persistence of residual odor and high toxicity.

How to use correctly

For residential premises, you should take a composition of lower concentration than for use in open areas and industrial buildings. An effective result is achieved through significant concentration due to the high density of smoke. Before the procedure, household items are packed. All doors and windows are tightly closed. The smoke lasts for about a day; upon returning to the room, wet cleaning is carried out.

• Disinsection should be carried out after other people and pets have left the premises. After the drug has been in effect for 2 hours, you should ventilate the room well and wash areas where your hands may touch with soda solution.
• Be sure to use personal protective equipment.
• Do not eat food or drink water during disinfestation.

Reviews

Anna, Peter

“We recently moved to a new apartment. The light was on in the kitchen for weeks - it was scary to go in. The home improvement store recommended Raptor. We bought everything - spray, gel and traps, as recommended by the manufacturer. It didn’t help right away – after a month I could approach the sink without screaming.”

Olga, Lipetsk:

“It gets rid of cockroaches, but not for long. The consumption from the tube is high, it takes a lot of money to process everything. Expensive and ineffective. But I liked the smell of vanilla and fruit.”

Daria, Moscow:

“Previously, I used company traps to bait cockroaches, they didn’t help much. Then I read on the Internet that gel is better. The store only had this brand, so we bought it. At first I liked the gel, it smelled nice. The cockroaches ate the gel on the first day, then they didn’t even come near. I didn’t see any corpses or a decrease in the number. It’s a pity - this is already the 4th product that was bought in vain, money was wasted. I had to call the poisoner.”

Julia, Voronezh:

“I bought the gel in the supermarket section, I didn’t expect it to be effective. For three years now I had been looking for a suitable remedy and did not hope that such a thing existed and would get rid of this muck - I poisoned it with crayons, balls and boric acid, remedies for the Colorado potato beetle. I liked the pleasant apricot smell, after a day I started finding the corpses of cockroaches, they completely disappeared after a month. I’m happy with the drug, I use it all the time.”
