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.

Fast & Effective!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Took care of a big wasp nest in minutes! The spray reaches far, works instantly, and kept me safe from stings. Definitely my go-to for any wasp or hornet problem.

First can didn't work, but the second can did!

Would Recommend

I had some kind of bees building a nest underneath the platform for my air conditioning unit. All of this sits on River Rock. I knew that I needed something that I could stick a straw underneath and have it foam everywhere to reach them. This ended up doing the trick, but the first can did not foam. I shook as directed, but a week later I saw bees flying out from underneath there again! I returned what was left of the first can and got a second can, and that can seems to have done the trick. ...
