What Customers Are Saying

Customers praise the product for rapidly eliminating carpenter bees and ground wasps, with most reporting complete eradication after one or two applications. The long-range spray is valued for safe distance application. Many find it outperforms other brands they tried. However, success requires direct spray contact with bees or nest openings; indirect spraying often fails. Some customers report needing multiple cans for deep ground nests. A notable minority experienced inconsistent results despite following instructions, with a few describing no effect even after repeated applications. Overall, most consider it effective when applied correctly.

Make sure not to lose the red plastic tube.

Would Recommend

Works well, though I’ve found sometimes carpenter bees that are exposed to it are able to eventually recover. Only real complaint is it’s easy to lose the red tube that you need to attach to the nozzle in order to effectively use it.

Foam expands to go deeper in holes

Would Recommend

Works as intended. The applicator helps reach into the carpenter bee holes and the foam expands even more to reach further.
