Raid Ant Products Review

Raid’s Ant and Roach Killer Spray is made to kill both ants and roaches on contact. With an easy to use can, all you have to do is point and spray to kill these bugs in and around your home.

The spray will stay effective for up to four weeks once you have sprayed it somewhere. This ensures that you have lasting protection in your home for other ants and roaches that you missed. Spray this insecticide around cracks and crevices where bugs may be able to get in.

Not only will this provide a protective barrier, but it will kill the ants that come in contact with it. This spray is also effective against waterbugs, silverfish, spiders, and beetles.

Many ant and insect sprays are highly effective, but they tend to leave a nasty chemical spray behind. While some cover that up with scents, Raid has developed an unscented spray that eliminates the smell problem altogether.

This ant and roach spray kills on contact. Whenever you see ants or roaches, you just spray this product, and they’ll be killed.

Like the scented version of this spray, the unscented version acts as a preventative measure as well, keeping bugs away up to four weeks after you have sprayed it. Additionally, this product does not contain any harmful chemicals that are known to deplete the ozone.

The Precision Placement Ant Gel from Raid is a bait rather than a contact killer. What this means is that once you have placed this bait, the ants in your home will be attracted to it. The poison found in the bait is slow-acting, meaning that once the ants eat it, they’ll live long enough to bring it back to their colony.

During this process, more ants from the colony will come back to their bait, and the poison will spread to the rest of the colony members. Eventually, a small amount of this gel can kill an entire colony and its queen.

Easy to use, all you have to do is point and squeeze. The gel will do the rest on its own.

While the Concentrated Deep Reach Fogger may look similar to contact sprays, it’s a little different in that rather than shooting a stream or spritz of the product; it forms more of a fog—hence its name, fogger.

This product is often used for what is referred to as “bombing” rooms or areas. Basically, you can use this product to target an entire room. Spray and fog up an entire room to kill any ants or other insects living in there. The fog will reach all the cracks and crevices other products can’t find where ants, spiders, and roaches may be hiding.

Not only will this formula kill without leaving a mess or stains, but it will keep working for up to two months.

After bombing a room, it is best to stay out of it for eight to ten hours. The product can cause harm and irritation and isn’t good to inhale.

The Raid Max Bug Barrier is Raid’s longest lasting defense against bugs. The unique nozzle on this product is battery-powered for continuous spraying. The steady stream lets you create a barrier to defend your home from a variety of bugs. All you need to do is press the trigger to create a continuous stream that you can use to spray a steady perimeter.
Targeting several different kinds of bugs, the Max Bug Barrier will continue killing and defending for up to 12 months. It can be used in both indoor and outdoor areas, creating a sticky surface that deters and kills bugs.

The spray is virtually odorless and is very easy to use. It will not stain hardwood surfaces, either. It is safe to use around pets, but a warning from the company states it is toxic to fish and aquatic life. It can also irritate your skin if you come in contact with it. After use, make sure the product dries completely before small children or pets are in the area. If there’s a lot of excess indoors, you can wipe up what’s left. The product’s residual effects will ensure treatment beyond the initial spray.
