SC Johnson said it is voluntarily recalling some containers of its Ant Nest Destroyer 2 and Max Wasp & Hornet Foam Bug Killer 2, which are sold under the Raid brand.
Health Canada issued the recall on April 16, saying that the affected Raid products were sold in Canada between December 2023 and January 2025.
SC Johnson said there were approximately 456,804 cans of the affected products sold in Canada.
The company says the recall was issued after the aerosol cans showed “signs of leaking.” Health Canada said customers should “immediately” stop using recalled products and check the codes on the can to see if the product has been impacted by the recall.
Product code for the Ant Nest Destroyer 2 is PCP: 30744 and for the Max Wasp & Hornet Foam Bug Killer 2 is PCP: 30746.
The issue was limited to cans manufactured at a specific facility, according to the Health Canada recall notice. It only impacts the two products sold in Canada.

The company said it will give a refund to those who bought a can of the product that falls under the recall.
Customers who have a product impacted by the recall have been advised to visit the company recall website to submit product information, including product UPC and lot code. Customers could claim up to $20 in refund per product, the company said.
Next Steps
The recall notice said that customers should handle the aerosol cans carefully while using personal protective equipment, such as gloves.
It also said not to flush the product into a sanitary sewer system or surface water.
Health Canada advises that customers use “appropriate containment” to avoid environment contamination.
If any product has leaked, Raid advises customers to sweep or shovel the product into a container and discard it.
Raid said the product is considered pesticide waste and customers needed to follow federal, provincial, and local regulations for disposal.
Skin or eye irritation could occur if the product gets onto skin, SC Johnson said. Consumers are advised to avoid getting the product on skin, eyes, or clothing. The company also advises to avoid breathing in the chemical.
If it gets on skin or clothing, the company says to remove the clothing and rinse skin for 15–20 minutes. If it gets in the eyes, the company says to hold the eye open and rinse with water.
