Works great

Would Recommend

This review was collected as part of a promotion, and the opinions are my own. As the hot weather comes, that usually means ants, no matter how clean you keep your home or apartment. Ants don't discriminate, they come to all homes and places of abode. I recommend this ant spray because it is safe for pets and doesn't smell like any insect spray. It's basically odorless and does a good job killing ants and keeping them away from returning. Highly recommended for those that get nauseous smelling i...

Effective product that works without any doubt. I tried it immediately upon arriving home because of the bugs running around and now there is no need for an exterminator. This review was collected as part of a promotion, and the opinions are my own.

Quick results with pleasant aroma

Would Recommend

I really like Raid essentials. I have fruit flies & tiny ants in my kitchen so I wanted to try Raid essentials. My concern are my pets which we have 5. It's reassuring to read that this is safe to use around pets. I sprayed the baseboards where I have seen tiny ants. I sprayed the window sills just above the baseboard area. The first thing that I noticed was that Raid essentials actually smells nice. Instead of choking from a nasty chemical smell Raid essentials made the kitchen area smell nice....

Household Insects Be Gone!

Would Recommend

Another quality product from Raid, this time providing an excellent pump spray bottle for ridding yourself of household insects. Ants, flies, roaches are just of few of the common insects it kills. The product is also safe for use around children and pets. I like the pump spray bottle rather than the aerosol cans. Give this product a try!!!

Smells nice, does the job

Would Recommend

The biggest thing is that Raid does what it says and is also safe around my pet. I didn't realize when I got it, but it has essential oils and actually has a light, pleasant smell. I think it's the lemongrass! I'd recommend if you wanna use this in the house to kill ants and not have it reek like a chemical factory. (This was collected as a part of a paid promotion.)

Easy trigger spray and safe inside

Would Recommend

I sprayed this around doors and windows, and I was pleasantly surprised at how there is not a strong lingering odor. This is safe around kids and pets. I like how it is made with essential oils. It feels more sustainable than other pest control products. I do wish the bottle was bigger as I do not think 12oz will last very long.

Finally!

Would Recommend

I am so happy that Raid has finally made a product that is safe for use around kids and animals ,as I have both in my house! First, I have to say the scent is way better than traditional insecticides. It's pleasant and non-toxic smelling. I also think it works as well as the regular stuff. I hope they keep making it.

Perfect for indoor or outdoor use

Would Recommend

I love that this spray uses essential oils. I used it both outside and inside, around my front door. It doesn't smell bad and works effectively. It worked within a couple of minutes and was easy to use. I would purchase this again. This review was collected as part of a promotion, and the opinions are my own.

As summer is coming so are the bugs. Raid Essentials Multi-Insect is a big killer infused with essential oils creating a much more pleasant smell.

Designed for ease of use & has light lemon scent

Would Recommend

The first thing I noticed about the Raid Essentials Multi-insect is the bottle design. The trigger style made it very easy to open and use. There are a few beetles in our basement, and I sprayed the Raid following the detailed directions on the instructions behind the back label. It has a light scent of lemon and doesn't smell like some other heavy chemicals. I like that is marked as a product that is safe for use near children and pets. I plan to take it with us when we travel this summer. This...

A game changer.

Would Recommend

The Raid Essentials Multi-Insect killer is a game changer. It comes in a nice bottle that is easy to hold and spray down the insect of your choice. Today I saw a fly die in less than 15 seconds. That's how fast this works. I love that it is safe for use around Children and Pets and while there is a strong scent it can be quite pleasant with the Lemongrass oil in the ingredients. Definitely will come in handy on these hot summer days. This review was collected as part of a promotion, and the opin...
