Raid Bugs - The free-spirited bugs (usually cockroaches) who invade kitchen spaces and other living areas in a series of TV commercials produced for S.C. Johnson's insecticide advertisements since 1956. The Raid bugs generally have crossed eyes and spiky tufts of black hair on their heads and a trembling mouth filled with fear (voice provided by Mel Blanc) when they set their eyes on the spray can of Raid about to shot its deadly fumes in their direction. As these creepy crawlers run for cover they usually cry "Watch out! It's RAID!!!" The S.C. Johnson & Sons Inc. was founded in 1886 by Samuel C. Johnson.
