SJN697322 - Raid Ant Roach Killer - Fragrance-Free

Okay so here's the deal - I live in an older apartment building and every summer like clockwork, the ants start marching in like they're paying rent. I've tried so many different sprays over the years and honestly most of them either smell terrible or don't actually work, or sometimes both. When I saw this was fragrance free I was like yeah right, but figured I'd give it a shot anyway. First thing I noticed when I used it was that it literally has no smell. Like none. I sprayed it in my kitchen around the baseboards where I kept seeing the ants coming in, and I didn't have to open windows or worry about my cats getting bothered by fumes or anything. That alone was a huge win because I used to have to basically evacuate for 20 minutes whenever I used other sprays. But the real test was whether it actually killed the bugs, and man does it deliver. I sprayed along the window sills in my kitchen and bathroom where I kept seeing these little scouts, and within like 2 minutes they were done. Not just running away - actually dead. And here's the thing that really impressed me, they didn't come back. Usually with sprays they come back in a day or two from a different spot, but I did a thorough job spraying the perimeter of my kitchen and I haven't seen a single ant in there for weeks now. I keep one bottle under my kitchen sink which is like my main arsenal spot for cleaning stuff and bug killers. I also bought a second one that I keep in the bathroom cabinet because we had some roaches showing up near the pipes under the sink and this stuff took care of them too. The spray nozzle works really well - you can do a wide spray if you're covering a bigger area or adjust it to a more focused stream if you're targeting specific spots. What I really appreciate is that it kills on contact but I don't feel like I'm gassing myself out or putting something super toxic all over my kitchen counters. I've used it near where I prep food (obviously I wipe down after) and I don't worry about residue or smell getting into my stuff. My girlfriend has pretty bad allergies and she hasn't had any reactions to it at all, which is saying something because some of the scented sprays I used to use would make her eyes water. The bottle is a pretty good size too - I've been using it regularly for like 2 months now and I'm only about halfway through. I'm not drowning the place in it or anything, but I do a preventive spray around the kitchen and bathroom baseboards probably once a week, plus hitting any bugs I actually see. So it definitely lasts. One thing I learned is that you gotta actually spray where they're coming from, not just where you see them walking around. I got down on the floor with a flashlight and found the little cracks and gaps where they were getting in, and I hit those spots hard. That made a way bigger difference than just spraying the ants I could see on the counter. I also used this when I saw a roach in my bathroom at like 2am which was honestly terrifying. Hit it with this spray and it was dead before I could even grab a paper towel. Haven't seen another one since, and I'm convinced it's because I sprayed around all the pipe openings under the sink and behind the toilet. The fragrance free thing really can't be overstated. My last apartment I used one of those heavy duty sprays that smelled like straight chemicals and I swear the smell lingered for days. This one you can spray and then go about your day immediately. No headache, no having to explain to guests why your apartment smells like a factory. If you're dealing with ants or roaches and you're sick of products that either don't work or make your place smell like a hazmat situation, definitely grab this. It's become a permanent staple in my cleaning supplies. I actually recommended it to my neighbor who was having the same ant problem and she texted me a week later saying it worked perfectly for her too. Just make sure you get the entry points and not just the bugs you can see, and you'll be golden.

We've been having a pretty bad ant problem lately & they go after anything food related that gets left out. Our compost also gets covered by large swarms of them. We've tried a few things. Ant bait worked OK for a while but I think they eventually became immune or got wise to it. Also tried ultrasonic repellers which didn't work at all. I generally avoid bug sprays because they usually have that awful toxic chemical smell but this is very mild. I don't even smell anything at all & doesn't seem to ruin wood surfaces but probably a good idea to clean it up with a sponge after. It does kill on contact as advertised & somehow it must have some kind of chemical that acts as an anti-pheromone because it's kept them away for over two weeks even with allot of food scraps in our compost. Very good effective product. Highly recommend for anyone dealing with a troublesome ant problem.

Ants were moving in already this spring. This worked quickly to get rid of them. There isn't an odor and safe to use around pets although I still wouldn't let them in the room until the product dried

This Raid roach killer works great it kills them nasty little roaches on contact. It really is unscented. It says it lasts for 13 weeks to keep killing the roaches. That part I'm not so sure about. I've sprayed quite heavily around the dishwasher. I still see roaches crawling around it. So I have to spray again and try to get them before they scatter. So I would say just spray the roaches when you see them. Don't depend on this spray to keep killing roaches after your done spraying.

This is the best roach spray on the market when you consider value for the money, cans are massive, there is no scent as advertised, and they are very easy to use, however they do NOT kill on contact so the effectiveness is exxxxxagerated. I have had to spray some roaches several times to even slow them down which leave a lot of residue that I thn have to clean up. All in all its a good spray but definently does not kill on contact and unfortunately some bugs crawl out of sight leaving you to wonder if they even died. GROSS!

Love to use this for summer months.

I like this product ! It’s highly effective and the smell isn’t as strong and doesn’t linger !

Great value for the money.

The raid cockroach killer is really good
