how dangerous is raid??

we had a huge wasp nest right outside the back door next to the kid toys. i sprayed the hell out of it with raid. and it got everywhere!! all over the walkway. the kids are outside barefoot.

does anyone know how safe it is for them to walk on it???

i was thinking of spraying the porch with a hose.

i wouldn't let them walk on it. i don't like using anything like that just because it's not good for the earth & i don't want my kid around it. i wouldn't let them walk barefoot on it ...

Raid is bad all around. I would throw out the can and never buy another.

If you hose down your walk, the chemicals will go into the surrounding grass, flowers, or the gutter. It;s bad for vegetation and running downt he gutter will just transport the posion.
