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

Excellent spray for my gnat infestation. And safe around children and pets. Have tried other sprays, but Raid is very effective, has a pleasant order plus it's a great value.

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's labeled as an "aerosol spray"... And though the sprayer itself (as in, the mechanism for getting it out of the can) is technically aerosol, THIS SPRAY IS NOT MEANT FOR THE AIR. Apparently, it's meant for treating SURFACES... I guess to kill bugs that land on them? If you read the fine print on the back of the can (after you order and receive it), it will tell you all this. It will tell you specifically not to spray this stuff in the air. Because, if you do -- if you use it the way all other mosquito sprays are used, by misting it into the air so the mosquitos breath it and die while they're flying around -- it will GREASE YOUR ENTIRE HOME. This stuff is oil. It doesn't mist into the air at all. Instead, it settles in greasy pools all over your floors, the surfaces in your home, and all of your stuff. It greased my girlfriend's laptop. I found my dog licking it off of her paws. The floors had to be mopped several times, and were still slippery for a day afterward. No. Just no. Why anyone would want this is beyond me. To purposefully grease their kitchen counters with bug poison, I guess? Don't do what I did -- don't buy this. And if you do, read the can and do what it says. And then go out and get regular mosquito spray to actually kill the mosquitos with.

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

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.

We've tried using this for weeks and I don't think it works at all

This Raid sprays a fine mist for great coverage Kills flying insects instantly and is super easy to use Another really good Raid product

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!
