Raid is toxic to pets only if your pet ingests it. They may also have an allergic reaction to it if their skin comes in contact with it. If you suspect that your pet has ingested Raid or is having an allergic reaction on their skin, contact your vet as soon as possible.

Can you sleep in a room after spraying Raid?

In conclusion, you shouldn’t sleep in your room after you’ve sprayed Raid. Wait until after you’ve cleaned up the area exposed by Raid products and the room has had several hours to air out with the aid of a fan.

How do you flush poison out of a dog’s system?

In some cases, your veterinarian may choose gastric lavage. He will pass a tube filled with water into the stomach to flush your dog’s system that will wash the substance from the dog’s stomach.

Raid is not toxic to your dog or cat unless they ingest it. Some clear signs that your pet has ingested it and is now poisoned include vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, coughing up blood, collapsing, a racing heart, strange behavior, and pale gums.

The content of this page is not veterinary advice. A number of factors (amount of substance ingested, size of the animal, allergies, etc.) determine what is toxic to a particular pet. If you think your pet has eaten something potentially toxic, call Pet Poison Helpline or seek immediate veterinary treatment.

Most pesticides or insecticides (typically those that come in a spray can) are basic irritants to dogs and cats, and result in clinical signs of drooling, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. In general, these are usually not a large poisoning concern unless the dog or cat directly ingested the product from the container or bag or if a pet’s symptoms become persistent. That said, there are some rare types of pesticides that are mixed with dangerous other chemicals or insecticides (such as organophosphates or carbamates), which can be life-threatening when consumed.

If you think your dog or cat was exposed to a pesticide, contact your veterinarian or Pet Poison Helpline for treatment recommendations.
