Raid Flea Fogger Directions

Fleas are a common pest that live in warm environments and thrive by hopping a ride on your pet to feed on their blood. Once an infested animal enters your home, flea eggs and larvae are deposited on your couches, carpets, beds and floors. Raid Flea Killer Plus Fogger is a specialized product manufactured by S.C. Johnson Inc. to kill fleas and hatching eggs in rooms 12 feet by 12 feet or smaller. By carefully following the product's instructions, you can rid your home of fleas for up to four months.
