Raid Max Trap Under the name of a cockroach trap, many imagine glue or other devices into which an insect runs to eat the bait, but cannot get out of the trap. Raid Max cockroach traps are based on a different principle - the poison inside the box as bait does not kill the pest immediately, which gives it the opportunity to run to its colony and infect the maximum number of individuals. An insecticide that regulates reproduction has an additional impact on the reproductive function of insects, which entails the inevitable death of the entire family.
Operating principle
A distinctive feature of the well-known product is its dual effect on insects. The systematic approach of the Raid trap works on two fronts at once: it poisons the individual by ingesting a poisonous bait or, upon external contact with it, limits the ability to reproduce using a special regulator.
A cockroach that has entered a trap and eaten poison does not die immediately, but may live for several more days. During this time, he spreads the poison on his limbs and body to the nest, the place where the colony gathers, and infects other relatives.
On a note!
If an insect ran past baits with poison, it received a dose of radiation from the insecticide, which is located in a device that regulates the reproduction of cockroaches. Even having avoided death, the individual stops producing offspring, which also reduces their total number.
Product Detail
The Raid Max cardboard package contains 5 devices: 4 baits and one regulator. One package is designed to cover an area of 20-30 square meters. m, but if there is a strong spread of pests, it is recommended to double the product consumption.
You can purchase products from a well-known brand at specialized hardware stores or on online store sites. The price of packing traps varies from 200 to 300 rubles.
On a note!
The prices indicated for goods on online store websites are comparatively lower than the cost at stationary points of sale. This is offset by the cost of delivery, which often exceeds the size of the purchase itself.
Despite their safety for others, Raid traps are prohibited from being installed or stored with food. To attach the baits and regulator to a vertical surface, use double-sided tape.
Cockroach traps RAID MAX 4 pcs + reproduction regulator
What is this? Cockroach traps RAID MAX 4 pcs + reproduction regulator - a modern trap consists of two special designs. One serves to kill cockroaches and their larvae, and the other promotes mass sterilization of parasites. As a result, the colony is no longer able to reproduce.
What is it valuable? This drug can be successfully used as one of the main means in the fight against insects. Together, the two designs allow you to achieve stunning results. Compared to other traps, the effect will not take long to appear. By placing the product in places where arthropods travel, you can easily clear their presence from your home. The drug retains its properties for a long time, killing most cockroaches in the house. Consumption with a low number of cockroaches is 3-4 pieces per 7 sq.m., with a high number of cockroaches 6-8 pieces per 7 sq.m. Long duration of action up to 3 months. Not addictive. The baits are made of transparent plastic, so you can independently control the amount of active substance remaining for insects.
How does it work? This product is a trap that attracts pests and can ensure their effective destruction without human intervention. Each package contains discs containing active chemical compounds that penetrate the insect’s body and lead to its death. The poison does not work immediately, killing the pest only after some time. Cockroaches that come into contact with the trap carry the active substances on themselves. The affected individual continues the standard life cycle, enters the nest, and transmits the poison to its relatives. Within a few days, the entire colony is infected, and within two weeks, the toxic substance that accumulates in the insect’s body destroys it.
How to use? It is best to wear latex gloves when unpacking and laying out baits. In this way you will be able to avoid direct contact with the main active ingredient. It is best to use all disks at once - this will increase efficiency. Place baits in areas where cockroaches are most likely to congregate. You can monitor their behavior and see where they hide when the kitchen light is turned on, and place the poison as close to this place as possible. Good places would be corners and areas near walls. The manufacturer has added Velcro to the back of each disc so you can attach them to vertical surfaces. Renew traps every 3 months; this guarantees complete protection from cockroaches even after the nearest colonies are destroyed.

Advantages and disadvantages
Raid Max bait traps, unlike analogues from other companies, guarantee the gradual destruction of the entire population of Prussians. Like all products of this type, there are definitely pros and cons.
The disadvantages include:
- relatively high price (about 2 times higher than similar devices of other brands);
- slow results up to 3 months;
- conspicuous black boxes can spoil the interior of the house.
Reid has many more advantages:
- easy way to use;
- no pungent odors;
- guaranteed success in exterminating cockroaches, including those coming from neighboring apartments and premises;
- safe for use in homes with small children and pets;
- no need to clean the trap from dead insects
Release form and composition of the product
There are now several types of raid tools available, each of which has its own characteristics:
- Spray. It is one of the most effective and promises quick and good results. Convenient and easy to use.
- Gel. Unlike a spray, it has a slow effect. But the advantage is the long-term effect after treating the room.
- Trap. It is more of an auxiliary and preventive remedy. In the fight against large colonies of cockroaches, as a separate pesticide it is ineffective.
The formulations use different active substances. For example, the MAX 4+1 raid has 2 active components at once, therefore it is considered the most effective among baits. The first component prevents the reproduction of Prussians, the second - in addition to its destructive effect, eliminates the possibility of addiction to the poison.
The spray is available in bottles of different colors, and they all have different active ingredients. If we talk about the purple bottle, then the destruction of cockroaches is carried out thanks to cyfluthrin. This spray has a milder aroma, which is important when people living in the room suffer from asthma, allergies and respiratory diseases. It is quite economical; with the help of a bottle you can treat 50 m2 of area. It is used not only against cockroaches, but also helps kill fleas, bedbugs and other insects. Has a prolonged effect up to 6 months after spraying.
The spray in a red bottle is quite popular. Its effectiveness is ensured by its composition, which includes 4 active substances: cypermethrin, prallethrin, imiprotrin and flavoring. The first 3 components are aimed at destroying individuals, they paralyze the insect, and then death occurs. The last component attracts insects with an aroma that they cannot bypass and always come into contact with the pesticide.
Regarding this form of release, such as gel, it refers to products that have a low level of toxicity, which makes them the most harmless. But despite this, they are quite effective, and in some cases simply irreplaceable. After all, a very common situation is when treating a room with an insecticide showed very good results, the cockroaches disappeared, but after a short period of time, they reappeared. This can happen for several reasons, the most common being young individuals that emerged from larvae. After all, it is not always possible to find nests, which means the clutches remain intact and the appearance of new longhorned beetles simply cannot be avoided. In such cases, gel raid helps a lot.
Dichlorvos is one of the most powerful raid agents. It is quite toxic and its use is only possible if the instructions are strictly followed. It allows you to cope with large colonies when the room is heavily infested. In addition, it has a huge advantage: thanks to poisons, you can get rid of the larvae. It is also worth mentioning about long-term exposure after spraying; pesticides are active for 6 weeks.
Traps are also irreplaceable, since in addition to their destructive effect on the Prussians, they are absolutely harmless to humans. They do not emit fumes that can cause harm. They operate as follows: each bait contains an insecticide that attracts pests and then has a detrimental effect.
Instructions for use
Procedure for installing Raid Max against cockroaches:

Aerosol Raid against cockroaches
Aerosol Raid against cockroaches is a modern, effective insecticide that is popular in many countries. The drug is intended to combat cockroaches in hard-to-reach places. The spray has a detrimental effect on both adults and larvae.
The spray contains components of a variety of pyrethroids, which act on the nervous system of the insect. In case of poisoning, pests die from damage to vital organs.
Use of the drug:
- Before disinfection, carry out general cleaning.
- Remove your family members and animals from the premises.
- Open all windows, vents and doors.
- Shake the can well.
- Spray the product on baseboards, cracks in the floor, places near pipes and trash cans, back walls of kitchen units, places where insects are most concentrated. The aerosol should be sprayed directly onto the surface; it should not be sprayed simply into the air.
- After treatment, leave the room for 2-3 hours. Leave the windows for ventilation.
- After airing, wipe tables, chairs, and cabinets with detergent.
Pros:
- Instant action.
- Protects the room from insects for another 4-6 weeks, continues to poison cockroaches.
- The aerosol contains fragrances that actively attract pests to areas treated with poison.
Minuses:
- Strong smell.
- Toxicity.
Since the insecticide is toxic, which can cause poisoning and allergies, it is worth treating the room in a special suit, gloves and a gauze bandage.
Aerosol Raid against cockroaches is a very effective fast-acting remedy, but when using it you should not forget about the personal safety and health of your loved ones.
If, after all, you or someone in your family is poisoned by aerosol vapors, you should thoroughly rinse your nose and eyes, rinse your mouth, and wash your skin if the spray gets on it. At the first signs of poisoning: dizziness, nausea, you need to drink about one liter of water and clear your stomach, inducing vomiting, and then drink, following the instructions, activated charcoal and a laxative. But it is better to call a doctor at home.
Reviews
Experience with traps has been overwhelmingly positive.
I bought this product after reading positive reviews about Raid cockroach traps. After several unsuccessful attempts to get rid of the Prussians using other methods, I decided to try a not-cheap option. The use of aerosols is excluded in my case, since I am allergic and have a small child in the house. After using Reid, after a couple of weeks, there were noticeably fewer cockroaches. And after 2 months they disappeared completely. Their corpses were periodically found. I was pleased with the product and recommend it to everyone.

Traps can be used in combination with other cockroach repellents: in gel form, aerosols, sprays, powders and other types of preparations. The effectiveness of insect control in such cases increases.
Advantages
As with any insecticide, there are pros and cons, for example:
- kills larvae and adult cockroaches;
- active substances entering the body of arthropods cause irreversible processes in the reproductive organs;
- ease of use;
- the trap is not scented;
- competitive price
- effectively copes with cockroaches.
The trap can be used when the apartment is not infested with a large number of cockroaches. You need to make sure that crumbs and water do not remain on the kitchen table. If you neglect this advice, the insects will feed from the kitchen table, and the bait will remain untouched.
Important! Practical experience has shown that it is impossible to use both aerosols and traps at the same time. The artificial scent of lavender overpowers the smell of the bait. Therefore it will not be effective.
Reid's analogues
Reid produces more than just cockroach traps. Its line of products includes aerosols:
- Reid aerosol against cockroaches and ants
- Aerosol Raid against flying and crawling insects with “Lavender” and “Spring Meadow” aromas.
