Remedy for cockroaches from the Raid trademark: reliable protection with proper use

The “cockroach raid” is one of the most effective insecticides that can destroy the parasites living in the house in a relatively short period with minimal effort. And despite the fact that these insects are very tenacious and under favorable conditions can exist for a long time (some individuals up to five years), this modern drug successfully copes with them and provides reliable protection for some time after processing.

Raid - a quick fix

Cockroaches are unique creatures that can eat not only food waste and plant debris, but also paper, skin or soap. They are quite unpretentious and with enviable ease can adapt to almost any conditions. At the same time, cockroaches can develop immunity to certain pesticides, which greatly complicates the fight against them.

On a note! According to the observations of biologists, cockroaches do not show sensitivity even to radiation!

These unpleasant insects prefer to hide in secluded places during the day and only after dusk they crawl out of their shelters in search of food. And since they often come to living quarters from dirty basements and sewers, they are capable of causing considerable harm with their appearance - cockroaches on their legs and antennae carry causative agents of dangerous diseases. Plus, settling in the apartment, they can damage the wiring and spoil expensive electrical appliances.
And one of the means that can save you from cockroaches is "Raid". According to the manufacturer, this drug is highly effective and is able to clean your home from a wide range of pests in a short time, both as crawling and flying. But is it really so? Let's get it right.

Spray can

Aerosol "Raid" is designed to combat cockroaches and ants in residential areas. After processing, small particles of insecticide settle on different surfaces, penetrate into inaccessible places and provide reliable protection against insects for six months.

According to the manufacturer, the Reid aerosol is not based on a highly effective formula with a triple effect:

• works both against adults and against larvae;
• provides instant destruction;
• guaranteed to protect the room after treatment for one and a half months from re-infection.

Getting into the body of the pest, poisonous components violate the conductivity of nerve impulses, which leads to paralysis and subsequent death of the insect. But at the same time, considerable toxicity of the drug should be taken into account, because of which it should be used in personal protective equipment.

According to reviews, with a strong infection of the apartment with cockroaches, spray can "Raid" shows not the best results. He really scares away insects, but only for a while, and pretty soon they reappear in their homes.However, it is possible that the wrong application is to blame?

Terms of use

1. Before proceeding with the treatment, it is necessary to tightly close all the windows and doors in the room and remove all people and animals from it. If there is an aquarium in the room, it is covered with glass and the compressor is turned off. You should also open the cabinets and cabinets, freeing all shelves from utensils, food and other things. They are put in sealed bags or taken out of the room.
2. To protect the respiratory tract and skin, the handler should wear a respirator or a regular cotton-gauze dressing and clothing made of a dense material that will completely cover the arms and legs. These protective measures will prevent the penetration of toxic particles into the lungs and prevent the contact of the drug with the skin.
   

   On a note! If an insecticide enters the skin, an allergic reaction may develop in the form of a rash, itching and redness!

3. The spray can is opened, shaken intensively several times, and spraying begins on the outstretched arm. In the first place, inaccessible places where cockroaches like to hide: baseboards, corners, wallpaper joints and cracks should be exposed first of all. Then the product is applied to the place under the sink, behind the refrigerator, stove and kitchen set. Lastly, all other surfaces are sprayed. However, one should not direct the jet simply into the air: it should spread at a distance of 30 cm from walls, floor, ceiling and furniture. Do not forget to use an aerosol near the ventilation grille and around outlets, where escaped individuals can hide. If this is not done, then after a while, when the danger passes, they will return to their homes.
4. After processing, you must leave the room and close it for several hours. Then the windows are opened to properly ventilate the room. Now you can carry out wet cleaning using a soap solution, while hard-to-reach places are better not to be washed, leaving a layer of the drug on them.

Important! This condition can occur only in those cases when you are absolutely sure that neither children nor pets will get to these zones!

In advanced cases, after a couple of weeks, it is recommended to re-spray, which will help to destroy the surviving cockroaches and hatching from the eggs of young individuals. If this is not done, the parasites will quickly replenish the population of the colony and the fight against them will have to be resumed from the very beginning.

Traps

Raid traps are also able to rid your home of cockroaches. But they only work in a different way. This device is a container of polymer material. In an open trap, where cockroaches can freely enter, is a poisonous component - abamectin. This substance acts not only as a poison, but also sterilizes surviving individuals. As a result, the population loses its ability to reproduce and gradually its number decreases.

Terms of use

Raid cockpit traps are extremely easy to use. They must be located close to habitats and the possible movement of pests: near the bin, under the bathtub, in the corners of the room, etc. Thanks to the transparent case, you can control the process of filling the container and change it in a timely manner to a new one.

Important! It is necessary to install and change traps with gloves, and then wash your hands thoroughly!

Traps from the Raid trademark show rather good results in the extermination of cockroaches, moreover, as the reviews indicate, they sometimes work much better than an aerosol spray. However, it should be borne in mind that with their constant and frequent use, insects can develop resistance. This point is important not to miss and replace the product with another, which will differ in chemical composition.

Important Tips

1. Even if there are a lot of cockroaches in your house, you should not use aerosol with traps. In this case, you will not get a positive result: an aerosol will only scare away insects, because of which traps will be inaccessible to them.
2. If during the use of an aerosol product you feel unwell, which manifested itself as a sore throat, shortness of breath, severe cough, dizziness or nausea, you should immediately stop working, go out into the fresh air and wash your face after a while.
3. If the product gets on the mucous membranes, eyes and nose should be immediately rinsed thoroughly with water. Moreover, this procedure is carried out for a long time. Upon completion, it is advisable to instill eyes with an irritant, or consult a doctor.
4. If for some reason you and / or someone else in your family has been poisoned by contact with the active substance in traps, then in this case you should, first of all, drink plenty of water and induce vomiting, and then call the carriage without fail Ambulance.

With proper use of "Raid" is really able to clean your apartment from cockroaches. But only when using drugs do not forget about your own safety. If it is established that insects come to your house from an apartment behind the wall, you must fight them with your neighbors, otherwise all your energy and money will be wasted.
