Raid (insecticide)
Raid is the brand name of a line of insecticides produced by SC Johnson, first launched in 1956.
The initial active ingredient was the first synthetic pyrethroid, allethrin. Raid derivatives aimed at particular invertebrate species can contain other active agents such as the more toxic cyfluthrin, another synthetic pyrethroid. Currently Raid uses Permethrin, Tetramethrin, Cypermethrin and Imiprothrin to kill insects.

Famous quotes containing the word raid:
“Each venture
Is a new beginning, a raid on the inarticulate
With shabby equipment always deteriorating
In the general mess of imprecision of feeling.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
