Reviews
Fleas are a sore subject for us, since we live on the ground floor. Parasites from the basement jump right into our apartment. Them bites cause great discomfort, especially worried about children. Already more than once called pest control. Their processing yielded results, but it was short-lived. After 3-4 months, everything was repeated again. It was especially difficult during the season of mass insect invasion: in spring and autumn. Neighbors advised to buy the Raptor fumigator. The mechanism was activated according to the instructions. They returned to the apartment after 4 hours, but the haze in the apartment was still present. When I opened the windows for ventilation, I managed to breathe in an unpleasant smell, after which my throat tickled for a while. Well, the result was really magnificent - dead fleas were found in many places. The tool is very effective. I advise everyone who is tired of a problem like fleas.

Although there are no animals in the house, fleas somehow wound up. I tried a lot of money, including spraysbut it was not possible to completely remove the parasites. Here and there a couple of bloodsuckers appeared, after which she again found bites on the body. I bought a fumigator already out of despair, because I spent a lot of money on all the tests, and nerves too. When she returned to the house, there was practically no smell; in addition to dead fleas, a moth and a couple of beetles of an unknown species were also found. The treatment was repeated after 3 weeks. More than 3 months have passed since then, during which time no fleas were found. I recommend the tool is very effective.
