* SideBySideDemonstration: In some ads, the homeowner first tries to kill the bugs with a blank spray insecticide. It doesn't even make the pests sneeze. Then, the same sequence is repeated with a Raid can, which easily erases the vermin from existence.

The shtick is simple--a few insects or other vermin enter a household, planning to live off of its members parasitically. Then, an invisible hand sprays them with Raid insecticide until they no longer exist. Cue the campaign's tagline.

* FamousLastWords: The most iconic part of the ads is the pests screaming "RRRAAAAAAAIIIDDD!!!" before dying.
* OhCrap: The commercials for Raid pest killers have been doing this for years, with whatever TalkingPest in the commercial shouting "RAAAAAAAAAAID!" before dying.
* {{Tagline}}: From 1956 to 2016, "Raid Kills Bugs Dead" and "It smells good, but it really, kills them dead".
* TalkingPest: Ads for the campaign tend to start with a TerribleTrio of cockroaches, mosquitoes, or other insects infiltrating a house or revealing themselves from the cracks or under the furniture. They then have some dialogue lines about how they are going to [[{{Pun}} pester]] the humans or what great life is to live off of them. Then a Raid tin appears out of nowhere, sprays its contents onto them, and kills 'em dead.
