Does not work! I sprayed it directly on the flys and gnats and they just kept walking.

Waste of money
Completely worthless. Sprayed directly on houseflies and didn't kill them. A complete waste of money.

We're sorry to hear those pesky gnats are still hanging around. We anticipate this to easily knock bugs out with ease. However, as this is a contact killer, it will not keep killing once the product has dried. Rest assured, we have many other options to get you back to a bug free home and would love to help you find one. Just give our team a call at 1-800-558-5252 (weekdays between 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. CT) and mention reference number: 23242702.

It doesn't work. Years ago it used to...
This stuff doesn't work on Phorid gnats, and they know it doesn't work. You can spray it right on them and they just go about their merry way. It might have worked back in the 70s and 80s, but it is garbage now.

let's be honest
The rave reviews are from the manufacturer. this is a fact because it is very easy to see that this product DOES NOT WORK. A baby fly can fly into the mist and survive way after you have stopped observing. it will not swerve or shiver or collapse - it is even rejuvenated by the darn spray

Gets the job done!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Raid is a tried and true brand to get the job done! I love how strong it is against the pesky insects and how quickly it works! I do have to be careful because of my dog but when I can get that opportunity to clear house raid dispenses the power! The scent is strong and overpowering at times but that’s to be expected!

DOES NOT WORK AT ALL
We have gnats flying everywhere and we have sprayed this stuff all over and it does not have effect on the gnats. They will land on a surface that was just sprayed and walk all around and then fly away. If you don't catch the gnat in flight, it doesn't faze them, and even then, you have to use a ton to kill it. Would not recommend

We’re sorry to hear that Raid® didn’t take care of those pesky gnats. When used as directed, this product is designed to quickly kill bugs on contact. Since it’s a contact killer, it’s no longer effective once the sprayed area has dried. For the best results, we recommend using multiple products as part of the Raid® Defense System (control, attack & prevent). We’d appreciate the chance to talk further and help you find the right solution. Please give us a call at 1-800-558-5252 (weekdays, 8 a.m.–5 p.m. CT) and mention reference number 22996634. We look forward to hearing from you!

What Happened??
I don't know if a fly can laugh, but I would imagine that the flies I'm trying to kill are dying of hilarity, ironically, they're not really dying though! I don't know if you changed your formula or what has happened but RAID is no longer who it used to be. historically. There was a time when if you needed to kill anything that crawled RAID could handle that and now I have to go look for alternative measures.

Very disappointed, waste of money.
Very disappointed with this product. The spray does not work and the quality is very poor. The flies keep coming back, and it is not worth the money. It does not kill flies effectively.

Not too Bad
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works about as good as the indoor spray. Doesn't kill "on contact". Some nasty lil suckers take a minute or two so natural instinct is to keep spraying until they're dead because who wants to watch a poisoned bug crawl around their home into a hole not knowing if it's actually dead or now mutating lol and in the process blowing through almost the whole can of spray.....they may be onto something here 😱🤔🤣. Spiders are in their own level of hell and I swear they are plated with armor because this spray and most others seem to just tick them off more than anything. Ants, random weird bugs and such are the typical dead in a minute or so bugs so if you're just knocking out the basics, this will do!

We suggest combining products according to the Raid® Defense System (attack, control, and prevent) for the most effective results. We’d like to provide further assistance as we stand behind our products.
