A: Great question! This is designed to stream spray up to 22 feet of liquid. If you are looking for a foam formula, we recommend giving the Raid® MAX Foaming Wasp & Hornet Killer a try. Hope this helps! – Megan, SC Johnson Consumer Care

Best hornet spray out there.
I just used this a few minutes ago. This kills bees mid-air! My husband used it last summer on a nest and they all fell to the ground and died. I'm ordering more. Can't live without it, lol.

This is the only wasp spray I will buy
This is the only wasp spray that actually kills the wasps. Other sprays stun them for a minute, but they come right back at you.

Did not work after using both cans.
I used both cans and the product did not work. I had success with another brand so it's definitely an issue with RAID. I'd leave no stars if I could.

Raid Bug Spray beware - do not buy!
This product is useless. Either the wasps/yellow jackets are immune to this pesticide or the product is just not good at all. I used 2 of these sprays and didn’t eliminate any of them at all. I should’ve trusted the bad reviews that I’ve read but I needed something to get rid of these bugs and I figured Raid is a reputable brand.
1 reply from Raid_Product Expert team - 11 months ago
We’re sorry to hear about your experience with Raid®. Our unique formula and powerful spray are designed to quickly eliminate wasps on contact. Since this is a contact killer, it works only when it directly touches the insect, and once the product dries, it’s no longer effective. Please know we’re here to help you get back to a bug-free space! Feel free to reach out to us at 1-800-558-5252 (weekdays, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT) and mention reference number 22962255. We look forward to assisting you! – Megan, SC Johnson Consumer Care

Finally!
I bought two other wasp and hornet spray that didn't work. I tried the foaming wasp and hornet spray and it worked better than I had hoped. 3 treatments for a nest I couldn't even see in my window sill and in 24 hours no more wasps!

Great Wasp killer
I prefer this one over the foam one. This one shoots right at the target and kills the nest and Wasp instantly.
Great product

Uselss
Complete waste of time and money. I soaked the Yellowjacket swarm and their nest entrance with this spray. Did nothing but disperse the swarm. Still flying in and out of the nest like nothing happened. Only good thing is the spray range is pretty decent allowing you to spray from a safe distance.

Keeps wasps away
I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. Works great with stopping wasps from coming around. Fast acting and full coverage in hard to reach places. Price is great for the spray.

Kills bugs with ease
I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. The raid max was great to pop up and kill the bugs really well. The coverage and foam really piled up on the bugs and melted away easily, to then be washed off with later after it cleared up. I highly recommend this product.
