Raid Kills Bugs Dead "Raid Kills Bugs Dead" slogan The phrase itself is often attributed to the poet Lew Welch, who worked for the agency at the time. The line was first used in commerce in 1966 and was trademarked in 1986.

Raid® Ant & Roach Killer 26 kills ants, roaches and other listed bugs on contact and keeps killing with residual action for up to four weeks. Avoid spraying near baits to make sure bugs can bring the bait back to where they hide. Read label before use. Use only as directed.

If you're using the foggers, it should be 24hrs. If you have any of their belongings in the room I.e litter box, bed, food bowl, toys, they should be covered and protected from the fogger. If you're just spraying for roaches around the room, protect their belongings and keep them out for about 6–8 hrs.

Obey all cautions and warnings to protect your family. Keep pets and children out of the room while spraying the insecticide until the spray dries (at least 30 minutes). Use it to keep bugs out.

RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks)

It's common to see roaches after a pest control treatment. They come out of their hiding spots because they are dying. You can use a vacuum cleaner to clean up the ones you see, but you don't need to use any chemicals. Expect to see them for up to two weeks after the roach spraying treatment.

When the cockroaches or other pests are sprayed with cockroach spray, they absorb it through the skin. As soon as the chemicals strike their bodies, a knockdown effect is felt by these red insects, preventing nerves to transmit signals or messages. This leads to paralysis and death.

15 minutes After applying Raid® spray products such as Raid® Mosquito and Fly Killer, give the treated room or area some air! Exit the treated area and keep the room closed for 15 minutes. Then thoroughly ventilate before re-entry. Read the product label for more detailed instructions.

After applying insect-control sprays, you should wipe up the spray if: Your goal is to simply kill the one or two bugs you just sprayed. You didn't aim correctly and sprayed in an area you didn't mean to treat. Or if you sprayed more than you intended to.

Regardless of the type of pest treatment that was applied, a good general rule of thumb is to give pest control treatments 2-4 hours to set in and then an extra 30 min to breathe with windows open and fans on to allow fresh air to flow through before returning.

You can sleep in the room after spraying it if it's a non-residual raid. You're good to go after cleaning up the Raid. If it's a lingering raid, though, you won't be able to sleep in the room once you've finished spraying it with the Raid. You can use Raid to get rid of bed bugs, cockroaches, and other insects.
