Advantages: Good price, easy to use, works very well.
Disadvantages: Awful smell.
We are definitely getting to that time of year where bugs & insects are rife and I can be a little bit of a chicken when it comes to getting rid of them by myself so my other half got a bottle of this Raid Fly & Wasp Killer.
It's suitable for many flying bugs including wasps, flies & mosquitoes and it's very simple to use. Just spray a few short bursts in to the room with the flying insect problem and then leave the room ensuring all doors & windows are closed. Leave for around 10 minutes and then when you return to the room all of the flying bugs should have been killed and then you can simply sweep or vacuum them away.
The can is very easy to use with a press down dispenser and a 1 second press with dispense no more than 2g of product. Be sure to keep this away from pets & food as well as ensuring if you suffer from a breathing difficulty such as asthma that you steer clear of breathing in any of this spray.
The smell is not pleasant at all and apparently it's an 'outdoor fresh scent' but it's definitely not! It's awful and not something you'd want to breathe in but once you've used it and killed the bugs it's fine to open the windows to try and clear the smell (although you may then get more bugs and it's a catch 22!).
It serves it's purpose very well and at around £1.65 per 300ml can I think it's a very reasonable product as you get many sprays in the bottle and the only downside is the awful smell of this product and for this reason I am rating it 3/5.
Summary: A fantastic fly & wasp killer with an awful smell.
