Raptor funds for fleas in the apartment

The Raptor brand logo with the image of a reptile and the slogan “checked - no insects” are familiar to almost everyone. The company was founded in 1996 with the participation of developers from Japan and Italy. Trademark first introduced fumigators for killing fleaswhich at that time were unusual for consumers. The product range is regularly updated with new innovative means to combat all types of arthropods. The flea raptor in the apartment is represented by two drugs: an aerosol and an aquafumigator.

Aerosol Raptor

Flea Spray Raptor is available in a colorful blue spray bottle and positions itself as a universal remedy for eliminating all crawling insects.

The volume of one cylinder is 350 ml, this amount is enough for processing 30-50 m². The expense of the product depends on the degree of contamination of the room, the amount of furniture and surfaces in need of processing. Flea spray Raptor includes 2 active substances:

  • tetramethrin - pyrethroid, which has an instant killing effect, with air it penetrates through the chitinous cover into the respiratory system and destroys the nervous system of the parasite;
  • cypermethrin is an insecticide of contact and intestinal action, when an insect enters the body, it blocks the work of nerve receptors, which leads to paralysis and subsequent death of the pest.

In addition to the active components, the formula includes piperonyl butoxide, propane, water and a mint flavor.

Mechanism of action

Flea Raptor Aerosol has an instant and prolonged action. When spraying all fleasthat are in the treatment area die instantly. After the drug settles on the surface, it forms a kind of insecticidal film, from contact with which adults and flea larvae die.

On a note!

Aerosol does not have a destructive effect on insect eggs. But given that the residual effect of the drug persists for 7-10 days, this time is enough for larvae to appear from the embryos. Young fleas are worm-shaped caterpillars and cannot be avoided in contact with treated surfaces.

Often these are hamsters and Guinea pigs.

Feedback

Fleas appeared in our house last fall, when the cat came from the cottage and brought these parasites. We noticed them on time, so they immediately treated the apartment with Raptor aerosol. Just in case, we paid attention even to the corridor and the kitchen. No more insects seen!

Reviews of the Raptor from fleas indicate the high effectiveness of the means for the destruction of blood-sucking parasites. However, in case of non-observance of personal safety rules, a deterioration in the state of health is possible, which is manifested by dizziness, irritation of the respiratory tract, sore throat, nausea, and vomiting.

Only for this there is no need to contact specialized firms, it is enough to purchase a system. In different stores, the cost of the product is different and ranges from 400-500 rubles.

Feedback

Fleas attacked the apartment in the spring.We moved to the first floor and could not even think that we would encounter these parasites. Neighbors advised a raptor aquafumigator. At first she was skeptical about him, because a spray of the same brand did not help my mother at the time when her dog became infected with fleas herself and brought them to the apartment. But the aquafumigator did its job! Now I recommend this drug to everyone.

The disadvantage of this tool is that disinsection cannot be carried out in the presence of the inhabitants of the apartment, therefore it is necessary to ensure the absence of household members for 3-4 hours.

Features of the use of an aquafumigator Raptor

The sequence of actions is described in detail in the instructions for the Raptor insect killing system:

  1. Open the package, get its contents.
  2. Pour the liquid into a plastic container, which manufacturers call a jar.
  3. Install the metal container in a jar of water and leave the room for several hours.

It is recommended to install an aquafumigator in the center of the room. To ensure the penetration of active substances into all habitats of parasites, cabinet doors must be open. One system is enough for processing 30 m², so if the living area exceeds this indicator, it is advisable to purchase 2 copies. If necessary, re-treatment is carried out after 3-4 weeks.

On a note!

For the time of disinfestation, it is necessary to disable the fire safety sensors.

Reviews on the innovation of the Raptor brand are very diverse. Mostly all of them confirm the rapid destruction of parasitic individuals. Negative reviews are associated with non-compliance with the instructions and incorrect calculation of the dose of the drug. If the apartment is large and only one device is installed, then insecticidal vapors cannot penetrate into the farthest corner.

    I live on the ground floor and with the onset of heat, fleas always appear. She laid out bunches of herbs, but no use. This year I tried aerosol Raptor. I liked the remedy - popped up and went for a walk, and when I returned, not a single living insect was there.

    The cat brought fleas from the walk and had to study the arsenal of means to destroy parasites. The animal bought a shampoo and a collar, and for processing the apartment they decided to test the Raptor spray. Despite the low cost, the tool did an excellent job.

  3. Karina

    Fleas appeared in the apartment, although there are no animals, they may have penetrated from the entrance. I encountered this problem for the first time and I don’t know how to poison these parasites. The situation is exacerbated by the fact that for the company with bloodsuckers cockroaches started.

      In your case, I would recommend using the Raptor aquafumigator. It destroys all types of insects and does not have to purchase a bunch of different means.

  4. Oleg

    Aerosols have a definite plus - a quick result. Only I doubt that the spray can have a prolonged effect, so always after a week I spend additional treatment of the apartment.

    1. Irina

      One flea treatment of the apartment was enough for me.

  5. Lyudmila

    Recently acquired an aquafumigator and regretted the money spent. Contrary to expectations, all fleas have not disappeared. A week has passed since the disinfestation, and the parasites continue to bite. I’ll wait a few days, if the parasites do not disappear, I will call professionals.

  6. Natalya

    Spray Raptor always process my husband's clothes after the hunt. Previously, these annoying insects and strove to settle in the apartment. And now complete order - I packed all my clothes in a bag, sprayed with aerosol and not a single flea has a chance of survival.
