Entitled cockroach trap many imagine glue or other devices where an insect runs in order to feast on the bait, but can no longer get out of the trap. The Raid Max cockroach traps are based on another principle - the poison inside the box as a bait does not kill the pest right away, which allows it to run into its colony and infect the maximum number of individuals. An additional blow to the reproductive function of insects is an insecticide that regulates reproduction, which entails the inevitable death of the entire family.
Operating principle
A distinctive feature of the products of the famous company "Reid" is a double effect on insects. The Raid trap system approach works on two fronts at once: it poisons an individual by swallowing a poison bait or, when it is in external contact with it, limits the ability to reproduce using a special regulator.
A cockroach that has entered a trap and ate poison does not die immediately, but can live for several more days. During this time, he spreads poison on his limbs and body in nest, colony clusters and infects other relatives.
On a note!
If an insect ran past poison baits, it received a dose of radiation from an insecticide, which is located in the device that regulates cockroach breeding. Even avoiding death, the individual ceases to give offspring, which also reduces their total number.
Product Detail
Carton packaging Raid Max contains 5 devices: 4 baits and one regulator. One package is designed to cover an area of 20-30 square meters. m, but with a strong spread of pests, it is recommended to double the product consumption.
You can buy products of a well-known brand at specialized outlets or on the websites of online stores. The price of packing traps varies from 200 to 300 rubles.
On a note!
The prices indicated for the goods on the websites of online stores are comparatively lower than the prices at stationary points of sale. This is offset by the cost of delivery, which often exceeds the size of the purchase itself.
Despite being safe for others, Raid traps must not be installed or stored with food. To fix the baits and the regulator on a vertical surface, use double-sided tape.

Reviews
The experience with traps is mostly positive.
I bought this product after I read positive reviews about the cockroach traps Raid. After several unsuccessful attempts get rid of the prusaks using other methods, I decided to try not the cheapest option. Using aerosol in my case, it is impossible, as I am allergic and have a small child in the house. After applying the Raid, a few weeks became noticeably less cockroaches. And after 2 months they disappeared completely. Periodically found their corpses. I was satisfied with the product, I recommend it to everyone.
