What Customers Are Saying

The Raid Wasp and Hornet Killer is an effective product that kills wasps and hornets instantly on contact. The long-range spray allows users to apply the product from a safe distance, and the foaming formula helps trap the insects. While the chemical smell can be strong, the product is generally successful in fully eliminating wasp and hornet infestations with repeated applications if needed.

Hornets Be Gone!

Would Recommend

This worked splendidly to knock out a hornets nest in a difficult area. It sprays in a stream so you can not only disable the hornets in the nest, but kill their larvae as well. In fact, the stream was so powerful that it knocked the nest down.

Kills wasps as promised!

Would Recommend

I am absolutely terrified of wasps and they seem to know it because they keep coming in my house. I am never without a container of this stuff. I especially love the long range, and it kills them almost immediately. This has saved me a lot of stress. It does leave a kind of residue behind so just be careful where you spray it!

Handy Wasp Killer (I recommend buying it)

Would Recommend

So my house during the summer always gets pests and stupid wasps. and every time I talk to my dad about them he goes outside to where I said the nests are and he brings a raid bottle so I know he likes them and every time they have worked. we just forget to take the nest after a day though. Very effective and useful definitely recommend it!

Works great on wasp and hornets. I purchased one and was charged for 2. Did not notice the incorrect charge until around a week after purchase.
