Raid Essentials Fly, Gnat & Mosquito Killer Aerosol Spray, Safe for Use Around Children and Pets, 10 oz

I'm happy with this product. I thought my other product was working well, and I was getting flies from my neighbor below me. Turns out, the spray would just knock out gnats (kill flies) and they'd re-emerge, all the while I was thinking they were just a new set of small flies (oops). This smells nice and appears to be safer than many other products. The oil does STAY on the surface you spray it on, and if used in the ceiling it eventually forms into a larger drop to wipe off.

It really does kill Gnats. I didn't realize how many I had ! It does leave oily residue. That is a down side. But I'm using around house and porches. Nothing has worked better!

I purchased this Raid Essentials Fly, Gnat & Mosquito Killer Aerosol Spray for something safe to use in the house. First of all, it makes a terrible, oily mess anywhere you spray it. I would only recommend using it outdoors, unless you're ready to clean up the surfaces it lands on when you use it. Worse than the mess though, is that this spray is entirely ineffective at killing flies. I have sprayed it directly on flies and they simply fly away. The scent of this repellent is not too bad, but I will not purchase this again because it does not kill flies.

Does kill gnats and flies but leaves a slippery film on counters and floors.

Ok, I never write reviews, but this one needs one! I was at war with these darn fruit flies I felt personally attacked and victimized by them because they came out of nowhere !! There was no fruit or anything anywhere! I am OCD with cleaning so they were about to win and get the house! I even called an exterminator and they just said it has to run its course there’s nothing really for them just spray and kill eggs yeah no! This is SPARTA!!! lol live footage of me in the house with them throwing everything Then I searched Amazon oh Amazon how we love you! And found this spray! And now I’m here like bring it on !!!! Because no other spray worked! I sprayed them with regular raid fly spray and I swear they got angrier and morphed together to form hands to slap me 😂 but this SPRAY!!! Oh the demise it’s glorious muahaha

This is mildly effective. Where the instructions say that after spraying the bugs to wipe up if there's residue, be prepared to use soap and water. The spray goes everywhere and if you don't use soap it leaves everything greasy. Not like other essential oil based products I have used.

I purchased this three years ago been working great every time I have fruit flies,I have now used it all and purchasing it again, it does leave the walls or anything oily but I live it on till next day so it catches any other flies with the oily wall then clean up.

Great product has no order that makes you cough 😷 its oil based so can get slippery, do not spray on your window screens
