Caused eye hemorrhage

Would Not Recommend

My landlords maintenance men sprayed this into my open apartment windows without warning. When I realized what was happening I ran downstairs to close the windows and my apartment was so full of the smell I could taste it. I had to go to urgent care for the migraine it caused and the next day I developed a hemorrhage in my eyeball. DO NOT USE THIS IF YOU CANNOT READ THE INSTRUCTIONS and apparently do not let any get into your lungs. I hope my cat is ok. Also I saw hornets out back today (Mo...

Hard to tell--would not spray.

Would Not Recommend

I really can't say how well the product works as the can I got was apparently defective. It will not spray at all--just foamed out the top of the container running onto my hands.

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!

Tried both this version as well as the foaming option, neither worked. Definitely does NOT kill on contact.

Worked great

Would Recommend

Bought this tnhis morning and used the whole can on a nest inside the wall in my basement -- a hole to outside where they got in. Plugged the hole once i emptied the entire can in the nest. Kills the yellow kjackets instantly.

I bought to cans of this to spray yellowjackets and the spray got on my new roof and literally ate a hole through it. I do not recommend sc johnson raid wasp and hornet killer to any one for any reason.

Finally!

I bought two other wasp and hornet spray that didn't work. I tried the foaming wasp and hornet spray and it worked better than I had hoped. 3 treatments for a nest I couldn't even see in my window sill and in 24 hours no more wasps!

Garbage product

Would Not Recommend

This is the second product I have tried from Raid that has failed on everything it says it's supposed to do. Do you even have quality control at your company. First off this whole sprays 22ft is absolutely a joke lol. It sprays maybe that distant the first 2 seconds then it goes to about 8 ft. Also the kills on contact thing is an even bigger joke. I literally sprayed an entire next of yellow jackets and then just flew around ticked off and not one of them died. I love wasting money, thank...

Yellow jackets

Sprayed 5, 17.5 oz cans over 3 days from 5 feet away. Less active but still swarming. Under a shrub which I most likely will kill. Carpenter bees dead on contract. These guys fly away.

Kills bugs with ease

Would Recommend

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. The raid max was great to pop up and kill the bugs really well. The coverage and foam really piled up on the bugs and melted away easily, to then be washed off with later after it cleared up. I highly recommend this product.

Keeps wasps away

Would Recommend

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. Works great with stopping wasps from coming around. Fast acting and full coverage in hard to reach places. Price is great for the spray.

Nice wasp spray

Would Recommend

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. The product comes out in a long foamy stream to entirely cover the nest or group of wasps. You don't have to get too close. It also doesn't have an unpleasant smell. Effective.

Raid did the job.

Would Recommend

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. I had a huge wasp nest outside of my house and this Raid took care of the problem quickly. It was easy to use and the spout was strong enough to reach the nest even though it was high up. Thus works on more than wasps so it's a win win.

Works great

Would Recommend

I purchased this raid max foaming hornet & wasp killer and it works well. I like the foaming action as it seems to work faster than the old style sprays and it works to stop them from flying. I recommend this product 100% Full disclosure I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review

Great purchase!!

Would Recommend

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. Raid max is a great product to have on hand specially, now that it's summer for any forming wasps or hornets it is a product that I have previously use and have a lot of trust in and will repetitively be purchasing for the years to come.

Great Product

Great product. Kills the bugs almost immediately. The scent isn't overwhelming and because of the packaging its easy to spray without getting it on you. It is well worth the price.

Great wasp product

Would Recommend

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. At first I sprayed a test area because I wanted to make sure that I used the product right before spraying it on the wasp nest. I sprayed the nest for a few seconds and then I ran . I came back to check after a few minutes and I didn't see any movements from the nest. The next day, I found 3 dead on the floor and there was still no activity on the nest so it definitely worked. I will be using this again because there are two spot...
