Raid is the brand name of a line of insecticide products produced by S. C. Johnson & Son, first launched in 1956.

The initial active ingredient was allethrin, the first synthetic pyrethroid.[1] Raid derivatives aimed at particular invertebrate species can contain other active agents such as the more toxic cyfluthrin which is also a pyrethroid.[2] As of 2019 Raid Ant & Roach Killer contains pyrethroids, imiprothrin, and cypermethrin;[3] other products contain tetramethrin and prallethrin as active ingredients.[4] Raid Flying Insect Killer, a spray, uses piperonyl butoxide and D-phenothrin.[5]

The brand was sold as Ridsect for Malaysian market.
