Aerosol "Destruction of crawling insects" produced in the form of a can. It contains active substances - cypermethrin, tetramethrin, piperonyl butoxide, various solvents and flavors. As the name suggests, it can simultaneously be used against cockroaches, ants, and other insects.
Another tool from the Raptor line, which performed well in the fight against bed bugs, is an aquafumigator. It consists of two tanks with insecticides and a package with distilled water.

Impact of funds on bedbugs
The composition of the "Raptor" includes three active substances.

At the meeting of one pest with another, it is possible to transfer the poisonous composition from individual to individual. The death of the parasite is observed during the day after its contact with the poison.
However, the effectiveness against bedbugs is still lower than against other crawling insects. This is due to small concentrations of poison in the "Raptor", as well as the overall resistance of the bug to external influences.
