Would Not Recommend

This stuff doesn't work on Phorid gnats, and they know it doesn't work. You can spray it right on them and they just go about their merry way. It might have worked back in the 70s and 80s, but it is garbage now.

Gets the job done!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Raid is a tried and true brand to get the job done! I love how strong it is against the pesky insects and how quickly it works! I do have to be careful because of my dog but when I can get that opportunity to clear house raid dispenses the power! The scent is strong and overpowering at times but that’s to be expected!

DOES NOT WORK AT ALL

Would Not Recommend

We have gnats flying everywhere and we have sprayed this stuff all over and it does not have effect on the gnats. They will land on a surface that was just sprayed and walk all around and then fly away. If you don't catch the gnat in flight, it doesn't faze them, and even then, you have to use a ton to kill it. Would not recommend

Raid Flying Insect Killer Outdoor Bug Spray - Fres

Not too Bad

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works about as good as the indoor spray. Doesn't kill "on contact". Some nasty lil suckers take a minute or two so natural instinct is to keep spraying until they're dead because who wants to watch a poisoned bug crawl around their home into a hole not knowing if it's actually dead or now mutating lol and in the process blowing through almost the whole can of spray.....they may be onto something here 😱🤔🤣. Spiders are in their own level of he...

Fresh scent

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just got done with using this Raid outdoor bug spray the mosquitoes in the south are ruthless this year, it worked fairly well the smell isn’t gagging like some other bug sprays I used in the past. I did notice I had less bites on me after I was done doing my yard work. Spays a good fair range overall I’d buy it again!

Great working bug killer!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This stuff works great on flying insects. They die immediately upon contact with the spray. I only used it on some gnats that were in our backyard, and they instantly died and fell to the ground. I haven’t had an opportunity to try them on other flying insects, but I was impressed on how quick the gnats were gone.

good

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used Raid Flying insecticide to kill all the cockroaches. I went down to the pantry and kitchen area and saw less and less bugs. It was really great. The scent was pleasant, fresh and did not leave a bad smell. I will buy it again to deodorize the kitchen area.

Great product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] “I’ve been using this Raid Flying Insect Killer for a while and it’s super effective at eliminating flies and mosquitoes instantly. The Outdoor Fresh scent is nice and not overpowering. I love that there’s no lingering chemical odor, making it ideal for use around the house and yard. It’s also easy to spray and covers a good area. Definitely worth keeping on hand, especially in summer!”

Easy to Use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This spray was easy to use. I sprayed it outside our front and back doors where mosquitoes and flies linger around. It did work on the slower flying bugs, but it was harder to catch the faster ones.

Easy to store and use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The packaging is easy to store and use. I haven't had the opportunity to use it on a bug yet so im not sure how effective it is. Ive used products similar to it and they've worked.
