Flea raid

Flea Raid is one of the best aerosols from blood-sucking synanthropic insects - flea, lice, bedbugs, cockroachesas well as flying: midges, flies, mosquitoes and moth. The convenient form provides coverage of a large area of ​​the apartment, penetration into the most secluded places, profitability, efficiency.

Composition and principle of action

The active substance of Raid aerosol is an insecticide from the group of pyrethroids - cypermethrin. Synthetic insecticide is resistant to light and other external factors, which ensures its long-term effect. The flea raid keeps its high activity for 26-28 days.

Cypermethrin is a complex of 8 isomers, each of which acts on a specific type of insect. This is the reason for the wide spectrum of aerosol action. Cypermethrin belongs to hazard class 3. Raid against fleas has low toxicity for humans and warm-blooded animals, but for insects it is a strong poison.

Interesting!

Scientists, studying the effect of insecticides on humans, noted their toxicity to children under 3 years old. This is due to an imperfect immune system and the curiosity of babies. If the rules for processing the apartment are not followed, the insecticide enters the intestines of the child. Pyrethroid metabolites have been detected in the urine of children. Insecticides reduce the child's ability to perceive speech, and the repellents that are part of many drugs for treating an apartment from insects negatively affect spermatogenesis and increase the risk of developing leukemia.

When an insect enters the surface of the body or its intestines, the drug blocks the transmission of nerve impulses to the muscles. Muscle paralysis leads to the rapid death of adult insects and their larvae. It does not affect egg laying. Therefore, in order to exterminate the entire generation of fleas, it is necessary to repeat the processing of the apartment after a while.

Since the aerosol is used for processing residential premises, the manufacturer introduced synthetic fragrances with the smell of lavender, spring greens or orange into the Reid product. They additionally have a repellent effect on parasites.

Instructions for use Raid

The flea raid, the instruction for use of which is written on the surface of the container, should be used for mild infection of the apartment, since the concentration of insecticides in the aerosol is low. With a severe defeat, it is better to use professional means of combating fleas and other parasites.

One spray can is enough for single room processing. The drug should be sprayed with a spray 20-30 cm from the surface. It is necessary to process the places of accumulation and the possible presence of fleas until droplets of the product appear on a hard surface and until the tissues are slightly moistened. Thoroughly spray the places where parasites accumulate, the area where the litter of the pet is located. Then it is necessary to process the upholstered furniture, carpets, floor, walls, skirting boards. To erect a “barrier”, the product must be sprayed around window frames, door frames, floor slots, along the perimeter of the shower enclosures to avoid the penetration of fleas from basements and attics.

Important!

The raid after drying leaves a greasy film on the surfaces, preventing the rapid destruction of the insecticide.You can remove it by wet processing with an alkaline solution. Therefore, all surfaces to which tenants touch the hands should be wiped with a soap-soda solution and washed thoroughly with water. The product does not stain the fabric, which makes it possible to use it on upholstered furniture and carpets, but it is better to wash textiles after soaking the products in an insecticide solution.

Room processing should be carried out by closing windows and doors in order to exclude a large consumption of the drug and its weathering. The spray forms the smallest droplets in the air that can get into the airways of the person who is processing. Therefore, personal protective equipment should be used - a respirator or a cotton-gauze bandage and glasses. Cypermethrin irritates the skin and mucous membranes, so the body must also be closed to prevent Reid.

The room must remain closed for at least 2-4 hours. The same amount of time will be required for high-quality ventilation.

Cypermethrin negatively affects the condition of birds, aquarium fish. Therefore, they should be removed from the premises for the period of disinsection of the apartment from fleas and other parasites. If the aquarium cannot be removed, then it is covered with glass, and the compressor is turned off. At the time of processing, animals must be removed from the premises.

Re-treatment is carried out a week after the first. This time is necessary for the appearance egg larvae. If necessary, the third treatment is done 21 days after the first procedure.

Important!

The instruction to the tool warns that the tool can be dangerous to pregnant women, weakened people and small children. At the time of processing, they should be removed from the apartment and they will be able to return only after thoroughly airing and neutralizing the remains of the drug.

Flea control must be comprehensive, therefore it is necessary with the help of special products for cats, effective drops for dogs eliminate fleas on the animal, which is their peddler.

Signs of poisoning and first aid

Fragrances mask the unpleasant odor of insecticides, but do not assume that the product is completely safe. Individual sensitivity to the components of the Raid can lead to poisoning. Signs of intoxication are:

• muscle weakness;
• dizziness;
• abdominal pain;
• nausea and vomiting;
• headache.

In animals, muscle contractions, tremor of the limbs, and salivation may be noted.

Reviews

I constantly buy and use Raid. In the country, fleas appear every year. But it’s worth processing the house with Reid and you can live in peace without fear of them bites. For two years of using the product, I can only make sure that Raid is what you need in the country. He at the same time exterminates flies and mosquitoes. Grapes grow near the house, so before using the aerosol. nowhere to go from nasty flies. Yes, and he has a pleasant smell - no need to move out long after spraying.

Our dog lives in the yard, but sometimes runs into the house - the children run. After each visit, fleas attacked us. What did not fight with them! Both Ryzhik were treated and the house, but fleas returned with enviable tenacity. It turned out that they are "nesting" in a doghouse. Only after they treated her with a Raid did the dog stop dragging them into the house.

After the grandmother was renovated in the next apartment, all of her “tenants” came to us. In the morning I began to collect my daughter in the garden, and on her bites. They were afraid that the bugs, but it turned out that grandmothers fleas and cockroaches moved to us. I bought the Raid, processed everything only once - and all this "evil" disappeared. Now, just in case, I have a couple of spray cans in stock - in the apartment of a roommate-neighbor, they will also be doing repairs soon.

I live in an old house, where a wet basement is located under my apartment. What kind of "little animals" from there does not come to me! If it weren’t for the Raid, you would probably have to give the entire salary and buy a guide to insects. And so I bought a couple of Reid spray cans in the nearest store and I struggle with all the jumping, flying, crawling and biting parasites with the same tool. Very successfully, they all die.
