Raid Essentials Multi-Insect Killer Spray Bottle, Child & Pet Safe, for Indoor Use, 12 oz (Pack of 3)

First of all, this product is AMAZING. I was hesitant because a lot of “pet safe” products are actually useless, but this is built different! I can confirm it is pet safe (after my immunocompromised cat accidentally got some on him, washed himself, and was fine before I even smelled it on him) AND it actually kills numerous kinds of bugs. Within seconds! I’d say the average time is about 15-20 seconds but it immediately injures insects (so they don’t fly/jump/crawl away before you can get them again) which is GREAT. Cockroaches, spiders, flies, ants, this works on all of them the same. My ONLY drawback is that it is oil-based so if you use it on the floor you’re going to want to clean it afterwards or be aware of how it would affect your paint/granite/wood floors if left there in excess. But I will say if you are able to leave some of it (or just lightly spray an area) it VERY effectively prevents further insects in that area for I would say approximately 3-5 weeks at a time. I don’t know if it’s the scent (which is a lemon and some other scent I can’t name, but is not at all toxic or gross) or whatever is in it, but this ABSOLUTELY WORKS, VERY WELL. I use it liberally and my cat is completely fine and my cockroach infestation is completely gone. 100/5 recommend!

Obviously it's oily. It's made from essential oils. But this stuff works and is non-toxic to humans and their pets. Not only does it kill ants (probably due to drowning more than anything) but they hate the smell and will avoid the area for as ling as a residue lasts. We spray it on the (slate) floor around the cats feeding area (wipe down after spray so it's not an oil slick) and the ants don't come back for a long, long time. Great stuff. Highly recommend.

I was expecting something with a lighter scent since it’s made for indoors. I’m realistic and know the product is going to have a certain smell but this is overpowering. Im glad this came in a multipack as one of the sprayers quit working after about 5 sprays. Leaves an oily residue where you spray so be aware of that.

The best to knock the life out of bugs

Bought this because it is Raid (I grew up in the 70s and 80s with those animated bug commercials, and that's kinda how Raid products work) and description said it's safe around pets and people. Can't tell if this product works or if the bugs just get caught like monsters in the tar pit and die trying to get out. It is SO OILY and it does not dry it remains on surfaces. Your kitchen cabinets will look like you're running a short-order diner. Oil everywhere it touches. The kitchen floor became a skating rink when slippers picked up some residue and left oily footprints everywhere. What I did find it useful for is the back of the cabinets under the sink around the hole for the drainpipes. A remote buggy gateway away from the daily action where you want a tar pit. Also used under the plant pots. There is herby essential oil smell that is strong when first applied then lingers. For the price I'll stick to the indoor/outdoor mint mixture.

The smell is kind of strong a weird lemon oil type smell that does get kind of overwhelming. Still not as bad as some other pest control products. And it’s oily and messy. You have to wipe it off after you feel it’s done it’s job. But the insects are stopped in their tracks. Drops flying insects on contact in midair and crawling insects begin staggering when they come in contact. I have 2 five pound dogs and it didn’t appear to affect them at all. Which is why I tried it. I’ll definitely use it again.

I recently tried the Raid Essentials Multi-Insect Killer, and it’s been highly effective for getting rid of a wide range of insects, including ants, spiders, and flies. I love that it's made with essential oils and more natural ingredients, so it's safe to use around pets and kids without the strong chemical smell. The spray is easy to use and works quickly on contact. If you’re looking for a safe yet effective way to manage household pests, I highly recommend this product!

I ordered once, got the three count and it worked fine. So I figured I would make it a regular re-order to keep my house stocked with the plant based spray. Every order I’ve gotten after the initial one has had non-working spray mechanisms. Every single bottle had to be cracked open and poured into a separately purchased spray bottle. Since it was so difficult to open, I even had to have help from my son to get the factory sent bottle open to use. After several shipments of the same, my family and I have had enough. I will pay the extra and grab it from Walgreens where at least I know it’s usable upon receipt.
