RaidEssentials Ant Spider, and Roach Killer Aerosol Spray, Child & Pet Safe, Kills Insects Quickly, for Indoor Use, 10 oz

Immediately noticed the little sugar ants that were coming in from outside have stopped. I will continue to spray occasionally to keep them out! Smell is a strong lemon but goes away after a couple of hours.

I’m leaving this review TWO YEARS LATER. Because I still rarely see a spider or live insect of any kind besides those asian beetles every fall. This stuff works great and keeps the bugs away.

Husband is a bug freak and we have 4 cats and i won't let him sray unless it's pet friendly. Safe to use and smell isn't too bad but takes a few days to disappear. He claims it works OK.

Doesn't kill on contact. Its more of a deterrent.

These are great for pest control around pets or kids, or just for people who don't like spraying chemicals all over their house. They get rid of pests well.

I live in the south. We have more hot months than cold, and therefore, more months of insect activity. I know deep down, that insects serve a purpose and some are actually essential to some facets of nature. However, I find most of them loathsome and quite terrifying. I can't stop my skin from crawling up my back when I see a bee or a roach.I have tried so many "home-defense" products that I just sprayed and sprayed and sprayed before anything died. I've tried the mixtures so deadly you have to wear gloves when mixing - I've tried other things you spray, things you hang, things you place in corners and drawers - just to stop having to see the nightmare inducing, segmented and horrifying bodies of insects.I bought Raid Essentials Ant Spider and Roach Killer mainly because it doesn't harm animals. I have two rabbits and one cat that are loved dearly, so this seemed a good choice.I had NO IDEA how awesome it would be. My house is very old and has a few cracks and crevices (that's a separate product review all together!). It started when a few big bees had somehow gotten through one of those cracks. Bees down south can be so big that their "buzzing" can actually be felt in your bones like a vibration. I was so scared, but I picked up the can and confronted the source. One little spritz and it was knocked out of the sky and down DEAD. It worked so fast and so totally, that I immediately bought two more cans so I could leave them in strategic places around my home.The next test was when a huge water bug came slouching out from under my frig. In case you don't know it, "water bug" is a euphemism for GIANT ROACH. Anyone who has dealt with them knows that they are FAST when threatened. I sprayed it, thinking I would need half the can to kill it, and would definitely have to chase it, but no! It literally froze in death mid-step. I soon discovered that ANYTHING else that even walked over where the Raid was sprayed died instantly. I find carcasses of little unlucky bugs around my ac unit frequently.I wish they sold this variant of Raid by the gallon so you could strap it on your back and just soak everything in front of you.The only two drawbacks? The scent isn't the best, and it's oily. If it gets on your floor, falling is inevitable if you don't get it up (I use a bleach mix to cut the oil). I've smelled worse, and cleaning it up is easy, so no big deal. To me, this stuff is worth every single penny. I'll never buy anything else.Quite simply, my message is: Hate scary bugs? Buy this.

It works!
