Is Raid harmful to Chickens

[Liendecker]

My son took a can of Raid outside yesterday and started spraying yellow jackets with it. Couldn't believe he did this!!! I've kept the chickens up all day. Can it harm them if they eat a yellow jacket that has been sprayed and if so how long do I need to keep them up?

Yes raid is harmful. Try to clean up the dead yellow jackets, then hose down where it was sprayed it should be reasonably safe after that. You should probably hose for at least a few minutes and wait until any puddles are gone before releasing your birds.
