Raid Essentials Ant, Spider & Roach Killer Aerosol Spray, Child & Pet Safe, Kills Insects Quickly, for Indoor Use, Rosemary Mint Scent, 10 fl oz

Tried many different pet safe sprays. This is my favorite one. It's not too strong in scent compared to others sprays (I've had some where the scent lingers for DAYS or is strong and offensive to the nose, not this one - this is nice and mild and goes away after you clean it up), it's an oily spray but it cleans MUCH easier than other oily sprays I have tried, and it does what it's supposed to do. Kills roaches and even wasps! I know it's not advertised for wasps but I tried it on one when I had nothing else nearby and it was flying by my pets who would have happily tried to eat it; the wasp immediately slowed and then dropped and it was one of those hardy wasps that don't care about anything. Love this spray! I always reach for this one over my other pet safe sprays.

I was a little skeptical about how it would work since it uses essential oils as a base. It actually works well for on-contact killing of insects though! I have a 1 year old baby, a dog, and a cat so I like to be careful what kinds of insecticides I use in our home. And we live in Houston, so bugs are a constant issue. I’ve used it, and it works. Plus if you like the smell of Rosemary and mint, the smell is so refreshing. Would highly recommend! It’s only downsides are it’s only for on-contact killing, and can’t be used effectively for border protection from bugs coming into your home, and it’s oily since it comes from essential oils. But hey, it works as advertised! I would personally give it a 4.8 star rating. It doesn’t quite check all the boxes, but it does a great job overall.

Kills those bugs just fine!

So, while it is good for pets (in this case a cat), I don't think it's too great for actually killing the insects quickly. From the video...it did not really kill on contact and I ended up with a spider in my bed. Video was sent to a friend group, but it was definitely a special way to spend my 2am time. In the end I was able to find the spider in the bed, catch it and took it outside. When used on a bug on the floor, make sure to clean up the floor after using, it can become very slippery and I may or may not have pulled a muscle after a little slip and slide. It has a nice mint smell to it, so it's not the chemical smell you normally get with but spray.

This definitely DOES NOT kill on contact, but does kill if you’re able to spray it until the roach drowns. I opted for this Raid because it’s pet friendly and I’m scared my cat would ingest the regular raid somehow. This stuff smells rather nice and killed the two roaches I saw, but only after I was able to corner them and spray them until they drowned lol. Because this is made from oils, there is a thick residue left behind. It took me a long time to get all of the residue off of my floors, counters, etc because the oils just kept spreading around more. It took days BUT I think the left over oil and scent have kept the roaches away as I haven’t seen one since. I’m terrified to see one again, mostly because ew hate roaches but also because of the mess this stuff will make. It’s worth it though to know I’m not harming my cat when I need to use this

I bought this when I was infested with ants and I loved how this raid for ants it kills them instantly without having an unpleasure smell. I knew this would be my all time but because it’s safe to use around kids.

Bug deadly.

It does work, however the smell is so over powering that it's toxic. Regular raid you can spray it, it smells bad but you can leave and go shopping, or out to eat and come back and the smell is gone. This stuff smells so bad that you can spray it, clean it up, leave for work, come home and complain about how bad it STILL smells, sleep another night, wake up with a massive headache, go to work and come home and it STILL SMELLS. And!!! It's so frickin' oily that it leaves a residue on everything that requires more scrubbing than if I had just doused my counter tops with regular raid and tried to clean that off. I got a little of this stuff on my bathroom mirror and it looks like I tried to wipe my mirror down with crisco or something after trying to wash it off. I can deal with the oil, but the smell is absolutely intolerable. Seriously, just DON'T.
