When spraying raid for outdoor use, is it okay to get some on the flower part of the plants?

It will borwn most flowers, but shouldn't hurt the plant. Try not to soak the leaves. If insects are bothering your plnts, use insecticidal soap on the plants themselves-- in the cooler part of the day, not when it's hot and not on wilted plants.

No you should not get contents on the plants, leaves or blooms. It is the chemical and the propellant , as if you used an aerosol. Raid is quite oily and thereby penetrates the cells of the leaves and can turn that portion of the leaf opaque. Wash plants with water when you have an accidental contact.
Reply:It would depend on the type of raid that you used. But for most types it shouldn't harm the plant at all. You may have discoloration of the flower. Now if you are trying to get rid of ants on your plants there are other solutions for that. But it shouldn't harm your plant.
Reply:no, you shouldn't spray the flower
Reply:Yeah, it wont hurt your flowers. But dont completely flood your plants with it. Also, if you have pets, be sure not to get it around anywhere your animal might be for the next couple of hours until it dries.
