Review of Raptor products for fleas in the apartment, instructions for use, reviews

Using professional flea control products

Most insecticides that can be seen on store shelves today do an excellent job of killing fleas, at the same time promising the buyer the death of other unpleasant neighbors from the insect family.
When purchasing, pay attention to the chemical composition - it should contain organic phosphorus compounds or substances based on pyrethrum (chamomile extract ), harmful to fleas. The general principle of their action is damage to the nervous system, causing paralysis and death of the insect.

In order for the purchased drug to fully meet your expectations, you must proceed as follows:

First, the house is thoroughly cleaned to get rid of trash.
Carpets are removed from the walls and removed from the floor for cleaning and drying.
Furniture moves away from the walls

The drug is sprayed or applied to all surfaces of the house: on the floor, in corners, on baseboards, along the perimeter of doorways, in all nooks and crannies where insects hide
All windows in the apartment are closed and she is left for several hours.
Then the premises are ventilated, the house is wet cleaned and traces of the used insecticide are removed.

Composition of the drug and its use

The product is available in a 350 ml can. This amount is enough to treat a room with an area of about 50 square meters. m. Two cylinders can be used to treat a house. The effectiveness is beyond doubt, and the reason for this is the unique composition. The drug contains 3 active substances that act on the nervous system of insects.

cypermethrin,
tetramethrin,
piperonyl butoxide.

Each component individually can kill fleas. And together they enhance each other's effect. Insects have no chance! They enter the body through contact. First they cause paralysis, then death. They act on adults and larvae. The eggs remain unharmed. But that’s not a problem either! Because a layer is created on the treated surfaces that will not lose its strength for another 1 week.

Raptor is available in the form of gels, traps and aerosols. To combat fleas in apartments, the third type of drug is suitable, which is sold in metal cylinders, their volume is 350 ml. This product is enough to treat an apartment with an area of 35-40 m². The aerosol contains:

cypermethrin, a substance that has a detrimental effect on the nervous system of adult insects and their larvae,
tetramethrin, which guarantees an active nerve-paralytic effect,
piperonyl butoxide, which enhances the combination of the previous components.

Thanks to its complex effects, Raptor quickly and reliably gets rid of pests. The constituent substances provide a contact effect for insects, which leads to instant paralysis and death of fleas. An important feature of the product is that it retains its properties for 15-24 days from the moment of spraying and affects even those pests and larvae that were securely hidden.

In order for the aerosol to provide the expected effect, they need to be processed using special technology. Before manipulation, be sure to wear rubber gloves and a respirator. This is necessary to avoid possible contact with the active components of the spray. If this rule is not followed, a person sometimes experiences nausea and slight dizziness.

Before the procedure, pets should be removed from the house, all plants should be removed, and small children should be removed. After this, you need to close the windows and doors in the room. Then you need to clear the baseboards (move the furniture, remove the tulle, hide all things and decorations). It is also necessary to treat carpets and soft toys using a steam generator. 24 hours before the procedure, you need to wash your bed linen and remove parasites from your pets.

The aerosol should be sprayed in all areas where fleas may live. You should not carry out the treatment close to the surfaces, you need to do this at a distance of 20-30 cm. The product should be sprayed onto baseboards, walls, cracks and places where cats and dogs most often sit, as well as on the flooring and various cracks.

After this time, it is recommended to ventilate the house. Fresh air needs to be supplied for 1-2 hours. Next, you need to wash the floors with detergent, and also carefully treat the shelves, tables, etc. But the baseboards cannot be touched for 2 days. Otherwise there will be no expected result.

Release forms for flea control

Raptor for fleas in an apartment or house is available in several forms, which are based on different principles of action.

Fumigator

A traditional insect fumigator is a simple method of pest control. According to user reviews, it is the flea fumigator that demonstrates 100% results.

The aquafumigator operates on the principle of evaporation of the active component – Cyphenothrin. This action is ensured by a vapor-forming agent.

The steam that spreads thanks to the flea fumigator in an infested apartment reaches the most inaccessible places. The effect of the drug on parasites is nerve paralytic.

Among the obvious advantages of purchasing:

simplicity and ease of use;
no need for operator presence - steam spreads uncontrollably in space;
positive effect against not only fleas, but also other pests;
relatively low cost.

Among the disadvantages of the fumigator: the need to free the home from its inhabitants during and after disinfection.

Plates

Traditional mosquito repellents are also effective against fleas. The attribute is impregnated with a special composition, which, after connecting the mosquito plate to the network and heating it, begins to release substances intolerable to insects that have a nerve-paralytic effect.

Fumigator liquid

Flea fumigator liquid contains a volatile insecticide. A popular one is prallethrin. It affects the nerve endings of parasites, creating a block of signals to the nerve endings.

A liquid that has a high concentration of the active ingredient is more effective - 1.6%.

There are various types of liquids on the market, the choice of which is based on the purpose and conditions of use of the product:

standard insecticide-based liquid;
liquid for children (with a reduced concentration of the component);
bio-option based on natural raw materials;
odorless liquid.

Attention! The fumigator liquid can also be used outside the device. Since the main condition for the action of a substance is its heating and evaporation, the component is applied to any hot surface, for example, dropping a few drops of liquid onto a hot incandescent lamp.

Aerosol

Raptor for pest control in aerosol form is the most common option. It is used for self-treatment of space and surfaces indoors.

If you take precautions, the product not only demonstrates the expected effect, but also does not harm family members, including pets.

The Raptor anti-flea spray contains three basic components:

Tetramethrin. Responsible for the neuroparalytic effect of the drug. In combination with cypermethrin it forms a poisonous tandem.
Cypermethrin. Affects the nervous system of adults and larvae. The effect of the component lasts for the next 3 weeks while the substance remains on surfaces.
Piperonyl butoxide is a synthetic component that multiplies the effect of the other two components.

Attention! The volume of the product against fleas and other pests is large - 350 ml. The amount of substance is enough to treat a room of up to 50 square meters.

Efficiency

Action of aquafumigator

The results of the aquafumigator are superior to sprays, concentrated liquids, traps, repellers, dusts, and gels. The action of the product begins immediately after the release of smoke, the result does not take long to arrive. All that is required is to ensure the tightness of the room, warn neighbors, worry about safety, and turn off the fire alarm, if any.

On a note!

Smoke bombs have a similar effect on insects.

Reviews about the Raptor aquafumigator for cockroaches are mostly positive, but sometimes they are not in favor of the drug.

The only insecticidal product that helped us. We tried to get rid of the cockroaches for a long time; we no longer had the strength to do anything. The last hope remained in the aquafumigator. We did everything according to the instructions. We left for 3 hours. An unpleasant smell spread through the room with the first puff of smoke. The fog remains impenetrable after half an hour of disinfestation. It took a long time to ventilate, but the dead cockroaches on the floor were pleasing. I used a broom to remove insects with great pleasure. The apartment was additionally treated after 2 weeks. I was very afraid of the reappearance of cockroaches in the apartment. It's okay for now. We live quietly for six months.

Irina, Moscow

We bought fashion products. Very convenient to use compared to other Raptor products. There is no need to pound the solution or spray the whole house. They put me in the middle of the room and left not for 3 hours, but for the whole night. They took a small child with them and grabbed a cat. Upon returning, I was not impressed with the result. A couple of dead insects, several individuals dying. It smelled terrible, it took almost 4 hours to ventilate. But the most interesting thing was ahead; by evening the Prussians appeared again, alive and well. No further comments. We had to call exterminators to kill the cockroaches.

Tatiana, St. Petersburg

We live in an old multi-storey building. In the basement, the cockroaches were bothering everyone, they decided to call the SES and poison them. They arrived, conscientiously carried out treatment against cockroaches, but after their visit, all the residents of the first floors howled. The red Prussians crawled up. After consulting together, we decided to use the aquafumigator simultaneously in all apartments. The most important thing is to ensure tightness, so that the residents of the upper floors of the house do not say “thank you” to us. We decided, we did it. At the end of 3 hours, everyone went home with interest. This is how we dealt with it together. A second insect control treatment was not required.

Rules for disinfestation in an apartment

Carrying out flea disinfestation

If there is a cat or dog in the house, treatment begins with the animal. You can remove fleas from a cat or dog using pharmaceutical products. Veterinary pharmacies offer a wide selection of flea medications for pets: shampoos, sprays, drops, collars for various breeds of cats, dogs, their weight category and coat thickness. After eliminating parasites on an animal, you should put a flea collar on it to prevent re-infestation. If drops were used on the withers, the effect of which lasts 1-3 months, there is no need to use the accessory.
It is imperative to treat all pet accessories: cat or dog bedding, toys, accessories, houses. Pests can be destroyed by boiling or using a solution of flea medication that was used on the animal.
Wet and dry cleaning in the apartment. Females do not bother laying eggs in a quiet, secluded place; they do it on the go, as a result of which the embryos scatter throughout the room. Eggs are found in furniture upholstery, children's toys, and carpet pile. Using a vacuum cleaner can significantly reduce the number of eggs.
Textiles and bedding must be treated with a steam generator or subjected to another method of temperature exposure: washing at high temperatures, treatment with a hot iron sole, exposure to sunlight or freezing if sub-zero temperatures are recorded outside.
All accessible surfaces must be washed with a disinfectant solution.
When using insecticides against fleas, you should take care of your own safety. All work should be carried out wearing a respirator, closed clothing, and gloves.
During disinfestation, no household members or animals should be in the apartment. Aquariums and insectariums are covered with glass.
Flea poison is applied to furniture, baseboards, and walls at a distance of 1 meter from the floor. Particular attention should be paid to places where household waste and flower pots are stored, since this is where flea larvae prefer to live.
At the end of the procedure, leave the apartment for 2-3 hours, after which it is ventilated.
In case of severe infestation, the treatment is repeated after 4-5 days.

Raptor for fleas. Instructions for use

To get started, you need to complete a number of activities:

treat all surfaces of upholstered furniture, carpets and soft toys with a steam generator;
wash bed linen in boiling mode;
Treat your four-legged friends against parasites. There are all kinds of drops, sprays and shampoos for this.

And only after this is it possible to use an aerosol.

Clear your home of small children, plants and animals. At the same time, the presence of a small child in the treated room is unacceptable not only during the period of spraying the aerosol raptor, but also desirable during the entire period of exposure to the drug. The drug is very toxic, so in addition to poisoning, the child is more likely to develop an allergic reaction to the drug.

Prepare the area to be treated in the apartment. To do this, you need to move sofas and furniture away from the walls at a distance of 10 to 15 centimeters. This is necessary so that it is possible to process the baseboards and all hard-to-reach places. Wear protective equipment: rubber gloves and a respirator to prevent contact with toxic substances.

Rubber gloves to avoid contact with toxic substances

Shake the can. Keep it vertical while spraying.

Spray the aerosol mainly in the expected habitats of fleas at a distance of 25 to 30 centimeters from the surface. To achieve the greatest effect, it is necessary to treat all baseboards, crevices, all flaws and cracks, favorite habitats of cats or dogs. In this case, walls must be treated to a height of up to 1.5 meters, since fleas live up to one and a half meters from the floor.

After completing the treatment procedure, you must leave the apartment and leave it closed for up to 50 minutes. This is necessary so that the particles of the drug can penetrate into all hard-to-reach places. After the time has passed, the room must be ventilated to remove all the unpleasant odor.

Important! Wet cleaning using detergents should be carried out no earlier than three days later. This is necessary in order to prevent the appearance of new insects.

Aerosols against fleas

Dichlorvos Neo, Varan, Eco, Universal - means for the destruction of flying and crawling insects, including blood-sucking individuals.

The maximum effect of using Dichlorvos is observed in the first 2-3 hours. Processing is carried out with the windows closed. Estimated price 80-120 rubles.
Clean House is another effective remedy against fleas in the house. The active ingredients are tetramethrin and cypermethrin, which have an instant killing effect on adults. The residual effect lasts 12 hours. It is recommended to spend this period of time outside the apartment in which the treatment was carried out. The bottle is equipped with a convenient sprayer, which greatly simplifies the procedure in hard-to-reach places. The flea remedy costs 200-20 rubles.
Combat is one of the most expensive weapons in this category. Depending on the location of sale, its purchase will cost 400-600 rubles. The product line is represented by Combat Multispray, Combat Super Spray, Combat Super Spray Plus.

The advantages of the product are the absence of a persistent chemical odor, instant results, the presence of a convenient nozzle, and antibacterial action. Also, the flea remedy in the apartment does not leave stains on furniture or marks on fabric materials.
Raptor - an aerosol with the image of a reptile was appreciated by many buyers. Two active components provide high destructive power, and a long-lasting residual effect that lasts for 7 days allows you to get rid of a new generation of pests that appeared after the aerosol spraying. One can can cover 30 square meters. m, the price varies within 200 rubles. After the procedure, a mint aroma hovers in the apartment.

It is effective against adults and larvae, but has no effect on eggs, so after a week the procedure is repeated to prevent resumption of reproduction. It is not recommended for use in apartments where children under 3 years of age live.

Review

I live on the first floor, so I periodically have to repel attacks from various insects, including. I tried different aerosol options, but I liked Raptor the most. It destroys parasites outright, and even re-treatment is not required, although the manufacturer recommends it.

Maria, Moscow

Features of the drug

"Raptor" is sold in 350 ml bottles. One such spray can is more than enough to treat an apartment of 50 square meters. m. The effectiveness of the drug is explained by the presence in its composition of three active components that complement and enhance the effect of each other:

cypermethrin;

Each of these substances works according to the contact principle. Once in the body, they affect the flea's nervous system and lead to rapid death.

Features of using Raptor aerosol

Using aerosols does not require special skills. The instructions for using Raptor against fleas state that the product will be most effective if the apartment is treated in all rooms and adjacent rooms. Preliminary dry and wet cleaning will also invariably affect the result.

It is worth understanding that the destruction of fleas in the house is a set of measures that include not only disinfestation of the premises, but also treatment of pets against parasites using products intended for cats, dogs and other animals living in the house. Often these are hamsters and.

Review

Fleas appeared in our house last fall, when the cat came from the dacha and brought these parasites with him. We noticed them on time, so we immediately treated the apartment with Raptor aerosol

Just in case, we even paid attention to the hallway and kitchen. No more insects were seen!

Olga, Perm

Reviews of Raptor for fleas indicate the high effectiveness of the product for killing blood-sucking parasites. However, if personal safety rules are not followed, health may deteriorate, which is manifested by dizziness, irritation of the respiratory tract, sore throat, nausea, and vomiting.

Terms of use

Using Raptor aerosol to combat insects
Instructions for using Raptor against fleas are extremely simple, but require compliance with certain rules to increase the effectiveness of the drug.

Before disinfestation, it is necessary to clean the house. Vacuum the carpets, wash the floors with water and vinegar.
Tidy up your pet's sleeping place. Larvae live under rugs, near the toilet, and adult fleas hide in the house.
Close windows and doors and ensure the room is airtight.
Move furniture away from the walls.
Hide clothes, dishes, food.
Remove pets from the apartment.
There should be no other people in the room.

You need to prepare rubber gloves, a respirator, a suit with trousers, a long-sleeved jacket. It is prohibited to process an apartment without personal protective equipment. Immediately after the procedure, the suit should be thrown into the wash.

Traditional methods of killing fleas

If whole hordes of fleas have filled the apartment, you won’t be able to get them out using folk remedies; you need to purchase strong insecticides or call a pest control service. If you are afraid of strong chemicals, keep your apartment tidy, shake up things you rarely use more often, and try to detect insects before they have time to breed. These parasites have been known to mankind since ancient times, when the chemical industry did not yet exist and reliable insecticides were not produced. Neat housewives could not put up with the fact that small insects were jumping around the house; they found ways, if not to destroy, then at least to significantly reduce the colony of parasites.

The most common herbal and fairly effective insect repellent is chamomile. The powder from this plant is often sold under the name Pyrethrum. Before using the drug, make sure that it does not cause an allergic reaction in anyone. You can sprinkle this natural product on upholstered furniture, clothes, shelves in closets, and baseboards. Leave the product out of the reach of children and pets until the next general cleaning.

Fleas do not like certain odors and may leave a room where the air is saturated with unpleasant odors. Such products include turpentine, kerosene and denatured alcohol, but they are best used in non-residential premises. Even if the whole family gets used to the smelly atmosphere in the apartment, any guest will run away from the house after the first minutes of their visit. When wet cleaning, you can add a little ammonia to the water; after a few hours, the unpleasant smell will disappear.

You can place napkins soaked in essential oils or dry plants around the house:

sagebrush,
tansy,
garlic,
pine needles
mint,
citrus peels,
eucalyptus.

Often folk methods of insect control are based on the use of the simplest and most common substances. Any housewife will have baking soda and salt in her kitchen. Mix equal parts of these products and rub the powder into carpets, soft toys, blankets and other items covered with lint. After a day, vacuum the treated surfaces, and then take them outside and pat well. After a few days, repeat the procedure to destroy the parasites that have hatched from the eggs.

Security measures

Remember that residential premises are treated using toxic pesticides that can harm the health of people and animals. Safety measures must not be neglected. Be sure to read the instructions for use and strictly follow the recommendations.

During the procedure, wear clothes that completely cover your body; you should wear gloves on your hands. When substances come into contact with the skin, allergic reactions occur, which are accompanied by irritation, rash, and inflammation. If the product gets on an open area of skin, immediately rinse thoroughly with water.

The respiratory tract must be protected with a respirator; toxic fumes are hazardous to health and can cause quite serious health problems. If you experience symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, weakness and other signs of poisoning, you should immediately go outside and call an ambulance. It is equally dangerous if the substance gets on the mucous membrane; if this happens, rinse with water and consult a doctor.

Insecticides are also dangerous for pets, so it is very important to move them to another room during treatment. Remember that small children and animals do not understand that you treated the apartment with poison, so they will lead their usual lifestyle. Things can rise from the floor and come into contact with a surface that, in our opinion, is inaccessible. It is very important to wash all surfaces after treatment to prevent dangerous situations.

Buyers' opinion

Reviews of the Raptor aquafumigator against bedbugs confirm the effectiveness of the product.

We decided to try a new product - a fumigator. Raptor has never failed with mosquitoes; it has earned trust as a fumigator against these parasites. Convenient to use, no need to set it on fire. The smell is present, but disappears quickly. Kills house bugs, but after 2 weeks they repeated it again. If the room is heavily infested, another insecticidal preparation must be used. In terms of effectiveness, it is between an aerosol and a concentrate.

Oleg, Moscow

We removed the parasites with a fumigator the first time. Convenient tool. No need to run around with a spray can for bed bugs, it will do everything itself. Better than an aerosol. They installed them in every room in the apartment. The room was left closed for 3 hours. Aired it out and the smell disappeared almost immediately. There is no need to be afraid that a fire will start during the destruction of parasites, everything is provided for. Good Raptor products help get rid of bedbugs the first time.

Natalya, St. Petersburg

If we talk about the disadvantages, then there is only one; all residents and animals need to leave the premises during the treatment; they can be returned to the apartment after at least 3 hours.

Treatment with an aquafumigator is performed as follows:

If the apartment has fire detectors, they need to be turned off for a while;
It is necessary to take out the container and place it on a flat surface, place it in the very center of the room;
The product from the bag is poured into the reservoir.
Next, you should leave the apartment, having previously closed the windows and doors.

After spraying, you need to leave the room. Upon return, ventilate the room well and carry out a wet cleaning. After about a month, the procedure is repeated.

Plates

The well-known plates also work against fleas. Due to the substance with which the plates are impregnated, when heated, a toxic chemical is released, which has a nerve-paralytic effect. But more often they are used as auxiliary or preventive agents.

Quality of the drug

Raptor fumigators have a number of advantages:

Be sure to move all the furniture away from the walls, since the walls need to be treated from the floor to fifty centimeters in height.
It is necessary to separate all fabrics from hard surfaces.
Food products are carefully packaged and hidden in cabinets and refrigerators.
It is best to remove pets from the house for a while; if there is an aquarium in the apartment, then it should be well covered and, of course, turned off.
All windows and vents are urgently closed.

After the disinfestation is completed, after 2-3 hours the apartment should be well ventilated, and cleaning can only be done after three days.

Having properly prepared the apartment, the treatment can be completed in a few hours.

How to use Raptor

Before you begin disinfection, you need to treat some surfaces:

Upholstered furniture, carpets, soft toys - with a steam generator;
Boil bed linen;
Use any flea drops, shampoo or spray on pets.

If you need to treat a very large house, then it is better to buy several cylinders; they certainly will not be superfluous. After following the above recommendations, you can proceed directly to treating the entire room against parasites.

First you need to remove children, plants and pets from the area being treated. The drug is very toxic and can negatively affect them. After treating the premises, children are not allowed to remain there for some time.
Move all furniture away from the wall so that all surfaces can be treated. Close all doors and windows.
Wear rubber gloves and a respirator to avoid contact with toxins.
Shake the can well.
The aerosol should be sprayed at a distance of 30 cm in places where fleas live. Of course, it will be much better if you disinfect all baseboards, cracks, walls, and places where pets are. The walls are processed 1.5 meters high.
After the procedure, you can enter the room only after an hour has passed. This is necessary so that the spray penetrates into all hard-to-reach places.
After an hour has passed, the room must be thoroughly ventilated.

General cleaning using detergents can be carried out only three days after treatment. Otherwise, the entire protective film will be erased and the maximum effect will not be achieved.

The Raptor flea remedy should be stored at room temperature, low humidity and out of direct sunlight. Keep away from children.

Many people are concerned about the question of where to buy Raptor for fleas. It can be found in any stores, be it specialized hardware stores or grocery stores. Online stores also sell this flea remedy.

Smoke bombs for fleas

It is advisable to use flea fumigators in the form of smoke bombs when the premises are extremely infested with fleas. More suitable for exterminating parasites in basements and entrances.

There are several variants of checkers, differing in the set of active components. Sulfur compounds and insecticides are used.

The effect of smoke fumigators lasts about 2 hours. After thorough ventilation, the poison evaporates and finally disappears on the surface after washing with water with the addition of baking soda and laundry soap.

Important!

Fumigators are dangerous to others. Disinsection should be carried out using a respirator. Leave the room 5 minutes after smoke appears. Ensure the room is completely sealed.

Instructions for use:

place the checker on a fireproof base,
set fire to
leave the room for 2 hours 5 minutes after smoke appears.

A universal drug. It also affects adult insects and larvae. In the case of this type of parasite, it is very important. Because the larvae do not live in close proximity to fleas. They can be under a trash can, an animal's bedding or in its sleeping place, under a box of vegetables, or in the toilet. They feed on waste and blood is not necessary. These are small worms that crawl into dark, damp places.
Ease of use. There is no need to mix the substance with water and prepare the desired concentration. The manufacturers took care of everything. All you need to do is remove the protective cap and shake.
Prolonged action. According to the manufacturers, it does not lose its properties within 2–3 weeks. However, under the influence of sunlight, the properties are still lost. Every day his influence is weaker. Therefore, Raptor actually works against fleas for 1 week. But this is enough to destroy the entire population. Since most insects die in the first 2 hours of disinfestation.

Availability. The product can be bought everywhere. Even in places where one cannot assume its presence. In industrial stores, grocery stores, specialized stores. The price of 1 can ranges from 100 to 250 rubles.
The modern buyer chooses products that are odorless or with pleasant aromas. Raptor in this case is beyond competition. The smell of lavender can be heard during treatment. But when aired it disappears completely.

Product quality. In recent years, this brand has not let customers down. Mostly there are only positive reviews in their direction.

Aerosol Raptor is a popular flea remedy. Many owners, faced with harmful insects in their homes, choose an inexpensive, accessible product with active properties. Unlike many insecticides, the aerosol destroys not only fleas, but also the egg-laying of biting parasites.

Five reasons to buy Raptor flea drug:

efficiency (harmful insects often die after the first treatment),
noticeable effect
ease of use,
reasonable cost,
economical consumption.

Aerosol use

Everyone is familiar with the “Checked – No Insects” logo. The Raptor trademark was founded in 1996. Since then, Raptor for fleas in the apartment has been produced in the form of an aerosol and an aquafumigator.

The consumption of the product depends on the degree of insect infestation

The spray is available in a blue can and is a universal remedy for killing crawling insects. The volume of the cylinder is 350 ml, which is designed to process from 30 to 50 square meters. The consumption of the product is affected by the degree of contamination and the number of surfaces that need to be treated. The effectiveness of Raptor flea aerosol is due to the following active ingredients:

Tetramethrin is a pyrethroid that instantly kills parasites. It enters the respiratory system with air and leads to the destruction of the pest’s nervous system.
The insecticide cypermethrin is a contact substance. Under its influence, the nerve receptors in the parasite’s body stop working, which paralyzes its body and leads to death.

Auxiliary components of the spray are water, propane, mint flavor and piperonyl butoxide.

Advantages and disadvantages

Raptor flea spray has a prolonged effect. All parasites that come under treatment during spraying die instantly. The drug forms a film on the surface after settling. It destroys individuals and larvae that subsequently come into contact with it.

It is worth knowing that the drug is not capable of destroying insect eggs, however, the effectiveness of the insecticidal film remains for ten days. During this time, the eggs will hatch into larvae, which will not be able to avoid death from the treated surface.

The Raptor product can kill only adult insects, but not their larvae

Features of use and side effects

You don't need any skills to use aerosols. The instructions for using Raptor against fleas indicate that the maximum effect can be achieved if you treat all areas of the apartment at once. Preliminary wet cleaning will have a good effect on the result.

It must be taken into account that the destruction of parasites consists of a complex of various measures. This is not just disinfection, but also the treatment of pets (cats, hamsters, dogs and guinea pigs) with special preparations.

When disinfecting a room, do not forget about treating the pets that are in it.

Before you start spraying, you need to hide all the food in the refrigerator. If you have an aquarium, then you should cover it. It is also necessary to move furniture that is close to the wall. Correct use of aerosol:

There should be no people or animals in the apartment.
Anyone handling premises must use protective clothing and a mask.
Shake the can vertically 3-4 times. You can start spraying.
Upon completion of disinfection, leave the apartment for a couple of hours, after closing all windows.
After the time has passed, ventilate the apartment, do not wash the floors and walls for 10 days. Using a soapy solution, wash only those items with which people will come into direct contact.

After finishing treating the room with Raptor, the room should be ventilated.

Failure to comply with safety rules can negatively affect a person’s well-being and lead to nausea, sore throat, dizziness, and vomiting.

Precautionary measures

The use of insecticides in everyday life is associated with risks to the health of people and animals

Therefore, it is important to take precautions when using RAPTOR at home. To a greater extent, they relate to aerosol, but an aquafumigator against fleas in an apartment must also be installed, strictly adhering to the manufacturer’s recommendations:

Before processing, put on protective equipment: gloves, clothing that completely covers the body, a respirator.
Avoid contact of components with mucous membranes and skin. If this happens, rinse thoroughly with plenty of water. If you feel worse, call an ambulance.
Inhabitants of the house: pets, adults and children must leave the house during treatment.
Do not allow products to come into contact with fire, food, or electrical appliances.
Store RAPTOR in a dry, dark place, away from children and animals, at room temperature for no more than 3 years. Avoid exposure to sunlight and overheating above +40°C. Do not disassemble the structure.
Discard immediately after use.

How to kill fleas

On animals

There are several forms of insecticides that can easily rid your pets of parasites and prevent their reappearance:

Injections and tablets. They are more suitable for use in clinics, as they often cause severe allergies and other bad reactions.
Powder. Not the best product, as it crumbles before it starts to work.
Shampoos. A completely effective remedy that, together with water, rids the animal of parasites from the very first use. Disadvantage - not all animals like to bathe.
Sprays and aerosols. A very effective, but also very toxic product that will destroy fleas, but can harm the animal itself. In addition, it is difficult to keep your pet from licking its skin for several hours. But the effect is almost immediate.
Drops. The liquid product is placed in a bottle with a dropper. It is easily applied to a place inaccessible to the animal’s tongue (along the spine and on the withers) and completely rids it of parasites in a couple of days.
Collar. In a few days it destroys or repels all fleas and for a long time (1-2 months) prevents them from appearing again. Helps destroy lice-eaters and ticks. May cause irritation upon contact with pet's skin.

Indoors

Only 2 forms of insecticides can be used against fleas - aerosol and powder.

This is due to their diet - blood-sucking insects are not tempted by the usual additives used in everyday life. In addition, do not forget about flea larvae, which also need to be destroyed. They are inactive and live under baseboards, in other crevices and accumulations of debris.

Aerosols

They act almost instantly, but not for long. They have very toxic properties and can poison not only fleas, but also apartment residents with pets.

Before you begin processing, you should take care to follow the safety rules - remove everyone alive from the room, put on protective equipment on your face and hands.

Then close the vents, windows and doors tightly, preventing fresh air from entering

room. Shake the can and spray the insecticide in all suspicious places, secluded corners and accessible surfaces. After finishing the treatment, leave the apartment for 2-5 hours.

After returning, thoroughly ventilate all rooms without closing the windows for at least a couple of hours. To remove traces of insecticide, clean with water and detergents.

The most popular aerosol products are Raid, Raptor, Executioner.
