Raid MAX Perimeter Protection Refill, Up to 18 Months of Protection, Indoor and Outdoor Use, 1 Gallon (3.78 l)

This is the best product for all types of bugs, ants, spiders, roaches and all creepy crawlers. It gets the job done and it doesn't have a strong smell.

Great product!!!

Our fence was covered in webs, we used this and haven’t seen another one all summer Great for wasps too, spray comes out well

So our new house has become a favorite for many types of spiders and ants. The professional pest control man says that they just seem to love certain homes! Perhaps, but I don't like seeing ants parading around the house saying, "Let's invade boys!" He can take charge of killing them for the low, low price of just $75 a month. Ouch! I decided to take matters into my own hands, so I bought this Raid Pest Control. Two bottles of it and I proceeded to spray it around the entire outside of the house. I also sprayed it around doors and windows and even along the paths back to the yard where the ants were holding their daily meetings! So, did it work? Yes and No. The next two weeks, the number of ants and other pests dropped considerably. All except on the front covered porch of our house. For some reason, the ants decided not to concede that territory. So, I sprayed it again after a few days. Keep in mind, there was no rain during that time, and I coated the porch, which is about 10 x 8 feet of concrete. The ants went away again, but within 3 days they were back. I considered using a flame thrower, but that seemed to be a little over the top. I thus concluded that this product, Raid, works well on contact and when it is fresh, but it doesn't seem to work as well after 3 to 4 days. I know the product says it will work for a prolonged period, and it does around our garage...but the ants on our front porch simply take a few days off and then return in mass. I like the product and find that it works some of the time. However, for pesky ants, it doesn't seem to stop them. We've since started using a gel product that the professional companies use, and it works much better. Perhaps I'll review it in the future after we monitor it for more time. My conclusion: This Raid product will help control pests, but it doesn't quite do the job on everything.

Great product works as intended

Always works great

This product does NOT kill on contact, nor does it act to deter, or kill roaches after the fact. What it does do is attract more roaches. I have sprayed areas where I saw one roach, not an infestation, but after spraying those locations, I now see many roaches in those locations. So this product is worse than useless. I wish I could give it negative 5 stars. I used the spray bottle, then refilled it with this refill. I have another unopened refill bottle. I won't be using the remainder of this product. It literally makes the problem worse. I have more roaches now than when I started.

This barrier is very good; it keeps the ants away! I will keep this on hand always
