Raid won't hurt your plants, but it will hurt everything else including the dogs that eat the raid-sprayed bugs.

Spray the DDT all through your house and breathe deep!

@TheJamesmario Not sure what you mean by full clip, but no. Though I know so much about the ad campaign from memory (see my site Raid Bug Drama in flickr/groups) I have very little resources on hand. All I have is 2 magazine clips. One my friend tokka posted on my site about Raid Roach Traps from 1981. Also have one of my own at home about Raid Fogger in 1984 which I'll post myself when I learn how.

@pierre72ify i saw a glimpse of that ad on "love at first bite" with susan saint james, do you have the full raid clip?

@plopnod I carry it a big step further in that I want to unwanted bugs. You've probably figured that since you know I want roaches which are unwanted by about 99% of the world. They're so pretty with their colors, antennae and gentle. It's mainly a mission to help the creatures who are downtrodden and hunted all the time. Whether they're beneficial or a pest doesn't matter to me at all. Though your position is somwhat different from mine your closer than most. Keep in touch!!

@pierre72ify Hey thanks :) Most people just don't seem to what to take preventative measures to prevent unwanted bugs around the house.They just settle for a can of Raid,or any of the other numerous bug sprays on the market.Some bugs should be welcome!Orb weaving spiders are great to have in the house!They don't crawl all around the house,and they catch flies,mosquitos,and other unwanted bugs.

Nice to see another bug person..."never succeded when pulling them out of traps" lol

@plopnod A fellow bug person? I would NEVER use Raid either after what I've seen it do to my poor bugs over the years, both in the cartoons and in real life. My landlord used the foggers on my roaches in 1988 and afterward I saw many on their backs wiggling looking SO helpless and defenseless. Plus I never succeded when I tried to pull them out of the traps. Anyway, whatever your reasons are, BLESS YOU FOR YOUR POSITION.
