    yellow jack spray

    By Galen on 10/16/2014

    It doesn't kill the nests. I sprayed into the nest after the bee's were all settled if for the night about 9pm and they all came out the next morning. So much for killing them instantly.

    Spectracide wasp and hornet spray value pack

    By Bobbie on 05/25/2017

    Foamed and dripped for about 2 ft. Both cans. Wet wasp but they just flew off or just came back to nest. I had to stomp them to kill them. Bought Raid. Sprayed the distant and killed them!

    Inaccurate

    By James on 07/25/2019

    Does NOT kill on contact. Does NOT spray "up to" 27 feet. This product WILL stain some siding. But most importantly, this product DOES NOT KILL ON CONTACT. I sprayed a nest and it took at least an hour or so for the wasp to stop moving.

    Complete waste of your money

    By Ed on 07/25/2017

    This product is a complete waste of your money. You can hose a wasp down 4 + times and it will still get up and fly away. They may die eventually but after you have bought 6-8 cans of spray to kill a handful of wasps..... Find something better, this isn't it.

    Spectracide Wasp and Hornet Killer Spray

    By Howard on 08/08/2020

    Have bought this product for last 10 years and it use to work great, but this year it's not the same! It foams and does not kill on contact. Bought two cases and very disappointed. Dangerous to use now, wasp will fly away and sometimes at you.

    Does kill on contact, however...

    By Jarod on 09/25/2020

    I bought this because it said up to 27 ft jet spray. I figured I had to go up about 15, so it should be fine. Not even close did I come to getting up there. 12 at best at about a 39 deg angle. Do not buy with the though it may shoot close to that. I do not know where they got 27 foot. But It cant go that far unless you're shooting straight down off a deck or patio.

    Basically, gives wasps a bath.

    By M on 08/17/2019

    Perhaps wasps have become resistant to this stuff, but it certainly does not kill on contact, or ever, as far as I can tell. Like other posts describe, when sprayed, the wasps fall to the ground and then get up and fly away. If you're quick, you can stomp them, so maybe it's good for that.

    It has worked on three different wasp nests.

    By Laura on 08/01/2016

    I have used this product on three different occasions. It was used on wasps, the kind that make their nest hanging. I sprayed in the beginning stages of the nest and it worked. Killed the wasps instantly and they didn't come back. Today I am going to try and use in on a ground nest, and I am not sure if its bees, wasps, or yellow jackets. Its a established nest, under a thorny rose bush (AHGGG) which is why I have left it undisturbed till now. One of the buggers stung me while I was pruning so they have to die now.

    Does not work.

    By Scott on 07/13/2022

    Does not kill on contact.. Can literally hose wasps down and they will fly around soaked in this stuff, come right back to nest. Waste of money, time, not effective at all!

    Bald Faced Hornets

    By Cindy on 09/06/2020

    I used this on a bald faced hornets nest I found built in some overgrown ivy. I used the entire can, waited a couple of days and no return hornets. Was able to remove the nest with no problems. I'm now using it to try and keep the yellow jackets and bald faced hornets from returning to the flowering ivy on my neighbors tree which overhangs my property as my dog is highly allergic to bee stings. I just sprayed can number 3 ... going to have to find something else to use because after a day or two they're back like gang busters. :(

    Does NOT kill on contact

    By Gary on 07/07/2023

    I had several yellow jackets that I sprayed fly away after a direct hit. Don't waste your money on something that does not work as advertised!!

    Useless

    By Norbert on 08/02/2023

    Zero stars. Like somebody else mentioned: "Basically, gives wasps a bath". Seems not to bother the wasps at all.

    The best stuff i ever used

    By Ladette on 05/02/2022

    First off for the folks that left bad reviews you all either are potentially so dumb you did not use it right or we are talking about 2 completely different products. First hornet nest i used it on i was so nervous after already being attacked by them that I barely sprayed much because i was trying to high tail it outta there an it bout killed the entire nest of close to 100 wasp! An this stuff destroys roaches an everything else damn good!!
