Raid Wasp and Hornet spray on my ceiling and wall.?
There was a giant fly in my basement, so I used the Raid Wasp and Hornet spray to kill it. I shook the can very well, but the Raid still sprayed in a thick stream. The Raid got all over my ceiling, almost in a spiral fashion. It also got on my wall.
How can I get rid of it WITHOUT using paint and/or things that I would have to go buy. Water on a paper towel sort of worked, but not that much. Will this cause permanent damage?
PETS: For those pet lovers out there, I made sure both of my cats are upstairs and not near the Raid or where it was sprayed.
Also, a little bit got on my microfiber couch. Can I fix that?
Any suggestions would be very helpful. Thanks so much!
The major ingredient in Raid after the toxins is a very light mineral oil - Stoddard Solvent, to be precise, exactly the same material as WD-40. The other ingredients are either volatile propellants or tiny fractions by weight.
You may remove it with any mild detergent - dish soap in warm water for your walls and a micro-fiber compatible upholstery cleaner for your couch. Any residual materials will eventually evaporate but that may take several days. Further, the mineral oil will attract dust and act as a solvent for it with the potential for permanent staining if you do not deal with it immediately.
I strongly suggest that you invest in a kit proper to the material on your couch. On the tag it will be marked with W, S, or W/S which tell you whether compatible cleaners are water or solvent based or either. You will be able to use it more than once.
Next time use a fly-swatter or a plant mister. Both work just fine.
