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.

Great for ground nesting yellowjackets

Would Recommend

The foaming action combined with the spay extension makes it easy to seal up a yellowjacket nest in the ground. Follow the directions. It took me two applications on two large nests and one application on a smaller nest.
