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.

Works great - killed yellow jackets in my wall.

Would Recommend

I was able to use the tube to insert it into the wall where the yellow jackets lived. I think about 99% of them died. I saw a little bit the next day and just repeated the process. Prior to this, I have used a generic wasp/hornet killer. Two bottles, sprayed it outside and tried to penetrate the wall. It did not do much.

Don't by this product

Would Not Recommend

I did not like this product. It only seems to work when directly sprayed on the yellow jacket, which is hard to do with flying insects.

The end of bees

Would Recommend

I've been having an issue with carpenter bees eating their way thru my porch. I bought this and it kills on contact. I haven't had an issue since using this product. Make sure to fill in the holes with wood putty so the bees don't try and come back!
