Not as good as it used to be

I hate bugs. Like, it really bothers me when I see one in my home to the point I can’t even focus on anything else until I kill it. So when I moved into my own home when I was 23 I religiously purchased raid Max (the blue one) every 2 to 3 months because it worked so good. Fast forward, I’m now 43 and I still purchase raid max every 2 to 3 months so I am pretty familiar with how good it worked. I’m not too sure if the formula has changed, but I see that the can is now red and black. Since the can color has changed, it seems to me. The formula has also changed, because now when I spray a bug/roach, it takes forever for it to die. It almost seems like the bug has to stay still until I completely soak it. I’m pretty disappointed in it now.
Twenty plus years ago this product came in a silver can. Twenty years later the can is blue, but I am just as overwhelming satisfied today as I was then! I have contemplated becoming an exterminator for close friends and family. Incredibly awesome product!!!
Love the product but hate the quality of the can....

Raid Max is my go to for killing ants and many other pests. Lately, every can I buy is hard to get all of the spray out. I have at least 3-4 cans that will not spray anymore and all are either half full or practically full. The spray stops coming out of the straw and the can. I would love to be able to get all my money's worth out of the product, but can't do so if the spray isn't coming out.
I would recommend this to a friend!

We're sorry to hear this! If you haven't already, be sure to thoroughly shake the can prior to spraying each time. This ensures the product is mixed with the propellant. We stand behind our products and are here to help. When you have a moment, please give us a call at 1-800-558-5252 (Monday through Friday 8 AM to 5 PM CT) and provide reference number 020807214A. - Hanna, SC Johnson Consumer Care
This product works great to kill roaches. The problem is we have now wasted money on three cans of it, a two pack plus a single can and all of them stop spraying halfway through the can! The cans have been kept clean and dry. It is a disappointment to spend money on something that wastes half or more of the product. The comment/complaint page on their site will not send.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I'm so sorry to hear this! Please know this not the quality we'd expect, so rest assured your comments have been shared with the right people on our team. When the product receives a good shake before each spray, we expect you to get the full use out of every can. As this wasn't the case, we'd like to help further. When you have a moment, please send us an email here: https://contact.scjbrands.com/en-us and provide reference number: 019663555A. - Skye, SC Johnson Consumer Care
I love the product and it works but the nozzle is easily broken. I took mine back to the store where I had purchased it, and had a difficult time returning it for a new one. The store manager acted as if I had broken it deliberately. I think the Raid company should tell the stores that these cans can be replaced.
