They eat everything: regular food, gouache from children's drawings, wallpaper glue. And a sea of ​​infection spreads throughout the house on their little paws. Today, the household chemicals market offers a large selection of different products to combat parasitic insects. Raptor products are one of the most popular.

Composition of the products, how they act on cockroaches

The main component of the Raptor series insecticides is synthetic pyrethroids.

Synthetic pyrethroids are insecticide chemicals that are used to kill insects. They are analogues of natural pyrethrins.

These substances act on insects as neuroleptic poisons, that is, penetrating through the chitinous cover, they affect nerve cells and destroy them. This leads to paralysis of the insect and its death.

The action of all cockroach remedies is based on damage to the nervous system of these parasitic insects

The composition of the product is largely determined by the form of its release:

• Aerosols. The composition contains three insecticides: cypermethrin, tetramethrin and piperonyl butoxide. The first two have the main effect, and the third, piperonyl butoxide, is a synergist, that is, it strengthens and fixes it to achieve maximum effect.
• Gels. Contains the pyrethroid lambda-cyhalothrin or chlorpyrifos. They have a wide spectrum of action and durability. The gel also contains food baits and preservatives. Accordingly, this drug enters the body of the parasitic insect through the intestinal tract, which leads to infection and death. The gel is a contact agent, so the insect does not die immediately, but has time to return to its habitat and infect the entire population.
• Traps. Contains lambda-cyhalothrin. Trace pheromones, which insects use to mark the path to food for other individuals, and food pheromones, milk fat, which also attract pests, were used as bait. Lambda-cyhalothrin has enteric contact properties and affects the nervous system of insects, causing paralysis. An infected cockroach does not die on the spot, but transmits the toxic substance along the chain, thus destroying the entire population.
• Aquafumigator. It contains cyphenothrin, a latest generation insecticide, and a vapor-forming agent. Upon contact with water, active evaporation of a toxic substance begins, which penetrates the insect’s integument in the same way as an aerosol.

Aerosol concentrate Barrier

The concentrated drug is a professional product used to kill cockroaches. The aerosol contains a formula that has no analogues in the world. This creates an effective barrier for insects. Its effect lasts for six months.

Aerosol concentrate

Characteristic

The product formula contains 3 active ingredients:

• bifenhtrin;
• Cypermethrin;
• piperonyli butoxydum.

The aerosol has a nerve-paralytic effect on insects, providing a long-lasting effect. Therefore, it is recommended to use it in rooms with a large number of cockroaches or to provide a barrier effect.

The active substances evaporate gradually. This effect is achieved thanks to a special formula. On the treated base, the effect of the drug lasts for a month. By coming into contact with active substances, cockroaches infect their relatives. Both of them die after a short period of time. During spraying, toxic components instantly enter the body of pests. The barrier penetrates well through ventilation barriers, into cracks and other hard-to-reach places.

Instructions for use

To obtain the desired effect, the manufacturer advises spraying the product on surfaces that do not absorb liquid. Such materials include: plastic, tile, linoleum, metal. If you treat porous substrates, the duration of the spray is reduced. The room is processed in stages:

1. The can should be shaken vigorously. Hold it vertically while spraying.
2. To ensure a barrier effect, the places where cockroaches enter are treated: entrance doors, windows, loggias, balconies, ventilation shafts, cracks.
3. To destroy existing insects, the places where they are most concentrated are subject to treatment.

The aerosol is sold in an 80 ml can. It can be used for three years. Average price – 220 rubles.

Reviews

After several years of saving, we collected money for an apartment. Yes, in an old panel house, but they were happy about that too. We started making repairs and were horrified to discover that cockroaches were crawling out of all the cracks. On the advice of a friend, I treated all the rooms with Raptor aerosol. Only corpses remained. Sveta

I used gel. It became interesting how the Prussians would like him. I watched them for some time. In my opinion, they simply ignore him. True, after two treatments they still disappeared. Maybe he's just scaring them away? Vladislav

I myself had never encountered Prussians; I helped my parents get rid of this evil spirit. The mother tried different remedies - it didn’t help. I brought her gel and several packages of Raptor traps, the problem was solved. Kostya

How not to buy a fake instead of the original?

Today there is a great demand for traps to get rid of cockroaches, so the chances of purchasing counterfeit goods instead of the original ones increase. Most often, scammers counterfeit products from well-known brands, such as the manufacturer of insecticidal preparations Raptor.

It also happens that a fake at first glance is no different from a real trap, and all its flaws are discovered only after some time. To protect yourself from such troubles, purchase insect traps should be made only in those stores that you trust.

Do not buy the drug at those retail outlets where the cost of the trap varies greatly in one direction or another from its average market price in the region.

Precautionary measures

When using aerosols, the following precautions should be observed:

• work must be carried out wearing household gloves;
• Use a respirator to protect your respiratory system;
• To protect your eyes, use safety glasses.

It must be remembered that the substances contained in aerosols are highly toxic and easily penetrate the skin. Follow these guidelines:

• In case of contact with eyes, rinse them with running water and be sure to contact a medical facility.
• If you inhale the aerosol, open a window or go out into fresh air.
• In case of more severe damage, sore throat, asthmatic or allergic reaction, call an ambulance.
• After treatment with an aerosol or aquafumigator, be sure to ventilate the room for half an hour.
• The application of the gel should be carried out with gloves to protect the skin of the hands.
• During treatment, you should not smoke so that the product does not accidentally get from your fingers onto a cigarette or mouthpiece, and therefore into your mouth.

No special precautions are required when setting traps.

Combination of different means

To disinfest a room, you should follow the rules for combining different Raptor products with each other:

• You cannot use a gel/trap and an aerosol/aquafumigator at the same time, since the fragrances used in aerosols/aquafumigator will interrupt food attractants and trace pheromones found in gels and traps. If necessary, first treat the room with an aerosol or aquafumigator, ventilate well, and only then install a trap or apply a gel.
• The use of gel can be combined with the installation of traps.

Where did the cockroach come from and what did it bring to us?

As you understand, an insect cannot appear in an apartment on its own, much less a whole family. It is obvious that the cockroaches have found some way into your apartment, and it is likely that a whole legion of Prussians could come to you along the same route. So, be sure to check:

• walls, floors in the apartment, on the balcony, in the bathroom and toilet for cracks (if you find them, all cracks must be sealed);
• holes in the wall that lead into the ventilation shaft (buy small mesh at a hardware store and install it on the ventilation in the kitchen and bathroom.

Nature has given cockroaches a flat body, thanks to which they can squeeze through even the narrowest gap. Most likely, insects entered your home in one of the following ways:

• through the ventilation shaft;
• through cracks in the floor, walls, communication hatch in the toilet;
• if you live on the ground floor, the mustachios could come from the basement;
• from the garbage chute they got into the entrance and then into the apartment.

As you can see, cockroaches are not particularly selective in their routes: sewers, garbage chutes - just imagine what their little paws touched on the way to your house. For those who do not suffer from a wild imagination, I will explain: cockroaches are carriers of all kinds of infection. Here are just a few of them:

• salmonellosis;
• dysentery;
• mycobacteriosis;
• helminths (eggs of roundworms, whipworms, pinworms, etc.);
• gastroenteritis.

Of course, you can object, they say, I don’t eat cockroaches and don’t touch them with my hands, I don’t care about any kind of infection. But you can’t know for sure what places and objects the dirty insect moved to in your kitchen immediately after it came running to you from the basement or sewer. A cockroach could crawl onto bread or fruit, onto your toothbrush, onto washed plates or into a cutlery rack, or onto a baby's pacifier.

Any food that has not been tightly packaged and put in the refrigerator can be potentially infectious - after all, the cockroach has probably tried a piece of everything. This is the main argument in favor of the fact that insects in the house must be combated. Fortunately, the chemical industry has long given us a wide selection of insecticidal products for cockroaches.
