The Raptor aquafumigator is great for getting rid of insects
The essence of the fumigator
An aquafumigator for cockroaches appeared on domestic markets not so long ago. The basis for the operation of this product is the heating of the key active ingredient, which leads to the evaporation of the synthetic components of the product. Due to this, it is possible to overtake the insect, which is hiding in the most inaccessible places. In accordance with the type of heating element, the following types of fumigators can be distinguished:
- Smoke. This is a special spiral that, when burned, produces smoke harmful to cockroaches.
Due to its distribution through the air, vapor with the active substance reaches all secluded places - Electrical. They are a miniature device into which a plate with the active substance is inserted. After connecting the outlet collector, the component heats up, and the evaporation of the insecticide leads to the destruction of pests.
- Aquafumigators. Water is mixed with the active substance, after which the mixture evaporates. This is not only a highly effective option, but also the safest.

Using a smoke fumigator
Smoke devices are sold under the trademarks Quiet Evening, Raptor, City and Tsitum. The most popular among the listed products is the Raptor smoke bomb, designed to kill insects over an area of up to 30 m². Its spiral heats up quickly and, using smoke, evenly distributes insecticides throughout the entire area of the treated room, destroying not only adult Prussians, but also their eggs and larvae.
A smoke bomb works in 3 ways in the fight against cockroaches:
- It releases toxins that penetrate the stigma and hemolymph of insects, paralyzing their body and leading to death.
- Covers the Prussian shell with toxic substances that quickly saturate its entire body.
- Evenly distributes insecticides over the walls, floors and furniture in the apartment. Cockroaches that survive the use of a smoke fumigator will move around the room, and the poison remaining on its surfaces will settle on their limbs and penetrate into the body.
For a smoke bomb to be effective, it must be used in strict accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Before you start using the device, you must:
- move the furniture in all rooms where disinfestation needs to be carried out away from the walls;
- open all doors in cabinets and bedside tables;
- leave the doors to all rooms, toilets and bathrooms open;
- close access to the ventilation system;
- remove dishes, clothes and other household items from the apartment or securely hide them;
- take pets to neighbors or relatives, cover the aquarium with cling film, remove plants and flowers.
The Raptor smoke fumigator against cockroaches must be used when there are no people in the house. The person handling it should put on a respirator before starting work. The smoke bomb must be placed on a non-flammable surface. Before use, you need to pour water into the reservoir that comes with the fumigator, and then light the wick. Immediately after this, the person must leave the home, tightly closing the front door behind him. The device is designed for 3 hours of operation. It spreads acrid smoke around itself, which penetrates into all rooms, corners and crevices, while destroying cockroaches. You should enter the house 6 hours after setting the smoke bomb on fire. To get rid of the smell of smoke, the home must be thoroughly ventilated by opening all windows and creating a draft. You should also wet clean all areas exposed to toxic smoke.
The main disadvantage of smoke fumigators is the strong specific odor that can persist in the treated room for several days. For this reason, devices of this type are not recommended for use in homes where small children and people suffering from respiratory diseases live.
Drug Raptor
The Raptor aquafumigator insect elimination system is effective in combating not only red cockroaches, but also a number of other parasites. It is used everywhere with the exception of medical institutions and institutions for children. A small amount of water is required to activate the working device. The instructions for the drug indicate precautions that should be observed.

The Raptor aquafumigator against bedbugs can also be used successfully. The active ingredient in it is cyphenothrin. This compound is absolutely safe for people and does not serve as a source of toxins. The component continues to operate even when used in open space. Several days after spraying the aqueous solution, the concentration of the active component remains quite impressive. After cyphenothrin penetrates the pest’s body, the active compound blocks the function of movement and reproduction.

When the active substance comes into contact with water, it begins to evaporate, killing insects in its path
Thanks to this, this disinfection method is considered the most effective. The density of cyphenothrin is low, so it takes some time for the suspension to settle. Also, for a certain period, the product continues to float in the air, which guarantees absolute disinfection while simultaneously covering a large space.
Water devices in the fight against cockroaches
Water devices (aquafumigators) have gained popularity due to their high efficiency and affordable price. The Raptor aquafumigator deservedly holds the lead among such devices, which contains cyphenothrin, a poison that paralyzes the nervous system of insects, but is absolutely harmless to humans. The device can be used in houses and apartments where small children live. The main advantage of an aquafumigator is its versatility: it is capable of cleaning your home not only from cockroaches, but also from mosquitoes, bedbugs, flies and other insects. One device is enough to eliminate uninvited guests in an area of up to 30 m².
Before using the Raptor aquafumigator for cockroaches, the premises intended for disinfestation must be prepared according to the same scenario as in the case of using a smoke bomb. After this, the fumigator should be placed on a horizontal plane in the center of the apartment and water should be added to its reservoir. Upon contact with liquid, the device will begin to intensively emit steam, with the help of which cyphenothrin will spread throughout the premises.
When steam appears, the person performing pest control must leave the home. Returning to it after 5-6 hours, the first thing he should do is ventilate the rooms and do a wet cleaning of the entire house.
For cockroaches, the aquafumigator acts only on adult insects and does not destroy their eggs. To prevent the reappearance of cockroaches, it is recommended to carry out repeated disinfestation 14 days after using the device. Thanks to this approach, it will be possible to get rid of the annoying Prussians completely.
Instructions for use
The instructions for use of the Raptor fumigator contain key recommendations. If they are not followed, the effectiveness of cyphenothrin will be reduced. Perhaps there will be no results at all. You must proceed as follows:
- First, remove the aquafumigator system from the packaging. It consists of a working container, a liquid bag and a container with a toxic compound.
Carefully follow the instructions for use to avoid unforeseen situations - Place a plastic jar in the central part of the room. The surface on which it stands must be level.
- The liquid contained in the bag is poured into the indicated container. A metal container is also placed here. It is important that the steam vents are located at the top.
This is interesting: bedbugs reproduce.
The processing process begins in a matter of minutes. During this period, you must have time to leave the room, tightly closing the door behind you. After installing the mechanism, wash your hands thoroughly with water. To treat a room of 30 square meters. I need 3 hours. Once this process is completed, the room is ventilated. The processing time can be increased by up to 12 hours.
This procedure can be repeated after a few weeks. This is explained by the resistance of cockroach eggs. They remain immune to the drug.
Instructions for use
Acrid smoke fills the room within 30 minutes, standing like an impenetrable wall. Before starting disinfestation, it is recommended to warn neighbors so that they do not call the fire department and ensure the tightness of the room.
Carefully seal doorways, seal ventilation openings, and close windows tightly. If there are exotic creatures or fish in the apartment, tightly close the lids of the aquarium, insectarium, terrarium, and seal the edges with tape. Or remove it from the premises during disinfestation.
How to use a cockroach fumigator
Step-by-step instruction:

Within a few minutes, a chemical reaction will occur between the active component and the liquid, and smoke will appear. After this, you must immediately leave the room for 3 hours and close the doors tightly.
You are allowed to enter the house no earlier than after 4 hours. During this time, the aquafumigator will stop emitting toxic smoke, the insects will die, and the concentration of poison in the air will decrease to a level safe for humans. Ventilate the apartment, clean, wash the floors with soda solution. This is where the destruction of insects ends.
Preparing the premises
The treated area must be prepared in advance. This is the most important stage of disinfection. What to do:

When choosing such a device, you need to take into account its possible pros and cons. The main advantage is the safety of the product for animals and humans. Other benefits:
- efficiency;
- ease of use;
- the ability to process hard-to-reach places.
The disadvantage is that the active component does not affect insect eggs and their larvae, which is why it is necessary to resort to repeated treatment. The presence of a smell, which forces you to thoroughly ventilate the premises, is also a disadvantage of this product.
