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.

Would RecommendWorked great! Killed them all

Good for forming a physical blockage of foam.
Would RecommendFact that this sprays a foam which expands and totally blocks the entrance to and from the Hive forces the wasps to walk, climb or try to fly their way right through it, which is often fatal for them. The downside is that part of the liquid volume is taken up making the foaming part and not the killing part the mix.

Being in the ground, they are smart enough to want to be sure there is a log, stone or some type of cover both at the opening and right over the nest to keep it dry, so you need to study during the day where they somewhat enter. Then at night you can move or remover any coving to get to the nest area, then spray into the opening or if the nest is showing spray it. But one thing that works extremely well, i...
