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.

Effective but a Bit Messy

Would Recommend

It's infected product. The challenge is that it's a film that spreads out more quickly than is convenient, so it's messy. It did help us get rid of the Carpenter bees along with having a trap. That combination made the difference.

Unfortunately didn’t work for my carpenter bees

Would Not Recommend

Used one can on my carpenter bees and it wasn’t working. I purchased another can of this thinking maybe I had just gotten a bad batch but still did not work at all. I sprayed into all the holes. I sprayed on the wood, I sprayed the bees directly and nothing phased them. Frustrating.
