Raid Fly and Wasp Killer

Apparently there are nearly 100,000 known species of flies and it feels like every one of them can be found on my property, at least every species native to south east of England. In the past I always used Raid with satisfactory results but, having been berated by my environmentally aware friends for using such dangerous chemicals and aerosols, I gave up the can a couple of years ago in an effort to prove my green credentials. But this year, as Spring approached and the weather turned warmer and the flies returned, I again resumed my nasty spraying habits! This could have been a simple review of the effectiveness of the product but I felt it should also address the ...  Read the complete review

I'm not a person who normally buys fly sprays and this can was only bought after a hysterical me begged the nice lady in the co-op at 9:30pm on a Sunday night for something to kill the monster spider which had invaded my space. The co-op, surprisingly, don't sell spider killer but I got some sympathy and came out with a can of Raid because it was the closest thing to my needs. My 400ml spray can cost £1.85 but is probably cheaper elsewhere. I came home and sprayed every nook and cranny where the evil spider could have hidden but frustratingly have no idea if it worked as I have never found a body or a live spider either. Oh well, I decided to put my ...  Read the complete review

I bought a can of this Fly & Wasp killer as a precaution as my Husband has a serious allergy to wasp stings. He should go and get one of those portable injection kits incase he gets stung but having only moved to this city not so long ago, this is on the "To Do" list. On the plus side- I don't think being stung is that much of a common thing. I have (fingers crossed etc) never been stung ever. As we are aware of the potential danger should my husband get stung, I bought a can of this killer spray to rid the house of flying insects and wasps especially over the summer when the windows are open a lot. One can 300ml will cost you ...  Read the complete review

Ok I know that using a spray can is not very good for the environment but Mr king wasp had obviously organised a convention for flying animals in my front room and that was certainly not good for my personal environment. Before you all tell me how bad I am, I must tell you that this was not my first choice of pest prevention, I tried those plug things, a fly swat, I even tried an electric version of a fly swat but it didn't work nothing worked until I tried Raid. I found the tin of raid in my local Sainsburys, it was located in the same aisle as laundry detergents. The 400ml can cost £2.29 which I thought was very good value especially as it works so ...  Read the complete review

Having a wasps nest in my ceiling- (not good for someone who is as afraid of wasps as she is snakes!) I am trying my hardest to get used to grabbing the spray can rather then run out of the flat screaming. (I don't think my neighbours would appreciate it at 3am every morning!) I have no real choice. I need to sleep, eat, and live in my home. Wasps are something I thought I would have to live with seeing as I cannot afford to have a wasp killing person put, and I live halfway up in a block of flats. I doubt killing the nest is even possible. My next best thing? Killing them one by one, until they get the message. Searching everywhere from ...  Read the complete review
