Echoing Jim's comment earlier, I can't find any Raid products that are legal to use anywhere but in residences. Keep in mind it is illegal to use any pesticide in a manner inconsistent with its labeling, so if the directions only refer to residential use, you cannot legally use the product in museums, libraries, living history centers, etc. If you see a can of Raid in a closet or on a cart at work, dispose of it properly and educate your staff about reading pesticide labels before purchasing and using products.
