Can Raid Spray Effectively Get Rid Of A Bed Bug Infestation?

Bed bugs are objectively one of the worst pests you could ever find in your home. One of the reasons they're so irritating is they are masters of elusive maneuvers. These pesky insects get into your house by hiding in handbags, hitching rides on your luggage, boxes, and just about anything that enters your house from the outside. They can lay their eggs in your belongings, and once that happens, your room is immediately infested.

Raid is one of the more popular brands of home insecticides that you don't need to be a pro to use. A quick blast will send unsuspecting insects into the great beyond. As you scratch the growing number of bug bites on your skin with contempt, you'd probably wonder if Raid insect killer would work on bed bugs, too. Well, the answer is yes, but you have to use the right one.

Raid is effective against bugs, but they have specialized products depending on the type of pests you have. Using a can of Raid cockroach spray on bed bugs probably won't give you the results you're looking for. This is because their formulas are customized for specific nervous systems related to that particular insect. Roaches are vastly different from bed bugs because bed bugs feed on blood, and roaches don't. You'll need a Raid product that targets bed bugs and their eggs.

The first step to getting rid of a bed bug infestation in your house is making sure that you identify them first, and then you can take the necessary steps to rid yourself of them using the proper insecticide. The Raid Max Bed Bug Crack & Crevice is ideal for killing these pests because it's a foaming spray. This means that, unlike the mists of other Raid products that dissipate after being sprayed, it turns to a liquid form and coats even the deepest cracks and crevices in your bed frame where the bed bugs would be hiding and lasts eight weeks. When using, spray your bed frame, mattress, and closet space — basically every nook and cranny. Repeat this every week for eight weeks for maximum efficacy.

If you're looking for an efficient bed bug killer that won't warrant you calling in a professional exterminator, Raid Max is your best bet. It's mattress and wood-safe. Just don't forget that the foam spray is an aerosol product, which makes it flammable, so it should be kept away from heat and flames. Make sure you wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water after each use.
