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.

It is stinger season

Instant kill. Just what is needed. Make sure you aim it to hit the wasps first or they could fly at you. They have great visison.

Does not foam.

Would Not Recommend

It does not foam and drips down your arm when you go to apply it. It has killed a few of the carpenter bees but doesn't really act as a deterrent from the areas we treated.

Did not kill any carpenter bees much less "Kills On Contact". Used the entire can and couldn't kill a single carpenter bee.

Remove carpenter bees

Would Not Recommend

I like that it’s foam product. It’s easier to fill holes where the carpenter bees make. It works well to keep them away and keep them from making new holes.
