Description

Spectracide Wasp & Hornet Killer aerosol eliminates wasp and hornet nests with a jet spray that reaches up to 27 feet. Use this product outdoors where insects live and breed. This product's powerful spray will also kill insects that return to the nest over the next few days. The non-staining formula can be used around most home siding depending on age and cleanliness (see product label for details). Also controls tent caterpillars, scorpions and ants. To control wasps, hornets and yellow jackets, spray at sunset when these insects are least active. Stand a safe distance from the nest - don't stand directly underneath. If it's windy, stand with the wind at your back to avoid spray drift. Spray the nest until soaked. Wait at least 24 hours before removing the nest. Do not use this product in or on electrical equipment due to the possibility of shock hazard. Use of product on evergreen and holly is not recommended as damage may result.

Great product, works as advertised.

I've been using Spectracide Wasp & Hornet Killer for years. The price is cheap, and it works in seconds. Knocks them out of the air and off nests, and the nests are never reoccupied, nor do the eggs hatch. They squirm on the ground a bit then die. The spray range is great for those high up nests. I don't know what's up with those 2 bad reviews. They must be keeping the product outside in the heat and cold, I don't know. I keep it in the house so mine is not exposed to such temperatures, and it just keeps working. A 2 pack usually lasts me 2-3 years. Keep up the good work Spectracide and I'll keep using your product.

Doesn't even slow them down!

It doesn't work! I sprayed a red wasp, and sprayed...and sprayed. I'm surprised I didn't drown it. It didn't even skip a beat. I finally squished it with the side of the can. I thought maybe it was like a super wasp. Today a yellow jacket got in the house. I grabbed the spray and the same thing. It wasn't fazed at all. I eventually just squished it with the can. I'll be buying another brand.

This spray was easy to use and went the distance without fizzling out. It also killed the wasps and yellow jackets without me getting attacked.

Meh!

I'm sure there is a better product for killing wasp. This product is not so good. It takes forever for the wasp to die.

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.

Waste of money and time

Doesn’t work. And when I went back and read the reviews, seems like the 5-star reviews are commercials. Probably fake.

Affective on nest and it was easy to use. The spray is long enough to use at a safe distance from the wasps.

Sprayed an entire can on a nest, and it did not kill the paper wasp.

#1 Weapon of Choice

My days of running down the street in a blood curdling scream is over! We've recently seen an uptick in wasp activity around the house. This spray has a long range and does the trick. I've tested it out from 20 feet away without having to run back in the house like a maniac. It works. My neighbor is a cop and informed me this should not be used on people.
