For example, Raid Max® Ant & Roach Killer 300 ML, kills cockroaches, ants and other household crawling insects on direct spray. When used according to direction, it keeps on killing with residual action even after you spray, for up to four weeks.
To be on the safer side, it is advisable not to sleep in the room if you have sprayed it with the raid. After spraying RAID you should allow it to dry with air. You should close the room for at least 15 minutes and then ventilate it thoroughly to remove its harmful effects in the air before re-entering the room.

Because of chemicals like cypermethrin and prallethrin which are used in Raid, breathing in these toxic fumes can cause serious problems to your lungs and airway, resulting in coughing, nausea, and wheezing — and if they come in contact with your skin, burns and itching, warns Safety.
Not unless you're using it in extremely large quantities. The chemical ingredients in a spray that actually kill insects—things like permethrin and imiprothrin—are not flammable.
It's best to avoid mopping your floors for 6-8 weeks. Also skip on wiping the surfaces of the edges, skirting boards and kickboards of your walls. In the meantime, sweeping, dusting and using the vacuum cleaner should be sufficient.
Pest control services suggest a certain time to stay away from the home once the work is completed. Once the service is completed, they may usually recommend staying out of your house for a time of around 2-4 hours. However, this may vary based on the type of service, and also extend up to a maximum of 24 hours.
If you do go to sleep with the remnants of the morning's bug spray still on your skin, you'll likely be fine. Making a habit of it, though, is ill-advised. Bug spray is a pesticide, and pesticides can build up inside the human body via the liver.
They will be safer for the cats once dry, but the chemicals have been developed to remain effective for weeks (which is how they still kill the insects) so try to avoid using it in places that the cats frequent.
Although products such as Raid are relatively safe to humans (when used as intended), the act of huffing, smoking, snorting, vaping, plugging, drinking and/or injecting Raid or other bug sprays can cause irreversible neurological damage, or even death.
IF ON SKIN: Rinse skin immediately with plenty of water for 15-20 minutes. Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice. IF INHALED: Move person to fresh air. If person is not breathing, call 911 or an ambulance, then give artificial respiration, preferably mouth·to-mouth if possible.
It takes about 40 minutes of real-time for a raid to simply expire, although all the Illagers still spawned within the village will be there as you return to it. In case you'd rather not start a raid but have the Bad Omen status effect, the best way to get rid of it is to drink a bucket of milk.
At a minimum, you and your family should wait at least 30 minutes before going outside and walking around the area that was sprayed. Keep your pets indoors during this period as well. Waiting at least 30 minutes reduces your chances of breathing in pesticides or getting them on your skin, clothes, etc.

If you leave the spray and let it dry, it will keep killing cockroaches with residual action for up to 2 weeks as long as the bugs come in contact with it. Be sure to read the label before use.
Once the product's dry, it's fine. That's another thing homeowners should be aware of is that unlike pesticides back in the day, new products are odour free, and are applied as a very fine mist to the targeted surface areas only.
