User questions & answers

Question:	Has anyone tried this on the red arizona paper wasps?Did it work
Answer:	It is immediate. You may have to apply another time in a week or so if you see any that may have been out at the first treatment. Good Luck.
Question:	Will it stain white stucco? Can you wash it off
Answer:	They of course are looking for water, If you spray it in the drinking area, just do it when there are not birds around, However you will have to scrub the bath part out, it will poison the birds..You can spray under the bird bath or around but best to keep out of water part.This product is best suited for spraying in openings that wood boring bees are trying to nest. Once sprayed, put some steel wool like a plug in hole, then use wood fill to seal up..that is what it is mainly intended for..Perhaps there is another product that is safe around water that will not disturb birds but keeps bees away? Homework time!!.
Question:	Would it work by spraying general areas where wasps are? I don’t see a nest but there are wasps around my rooftop I need gone
Answer:	yes you can i let it sit for one month and still came out with no clogging
Question:	Can you use this as bear mace
Answer:	Yes. Absolutely. The product works very well.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can I use this inside my house
Answer:	I'm not sure about how safe it would be to use this in the way you're thinking about. I'd try sealing all around the pipe/hose running from the AC into the house using sealant foam. I hope this was helpful. Good luck!
Question:	this two pack sells for $4.88 at home depot. 1/2 your price
Answer:	Killed a lot of bees in my case;even outside around an roof area it keeps them away! ☠️👍🏿 Never saw bee eggs though but I'm pretty sure it kills them even easier.
Question:	is this good for bears
Answer:	It is a "foaming aerosol". It sprays as far as you need it, then it foams on contact. Quite effective. There is also a normal 15 ft spray available.
Question:	My yellow jacket nest is in the ground. How can I get enough into the tiny hole to kill them?? Thanks
Answer:	I have tried a lot of sprays for yellow jackets in the ground and this foaming spray seems to be working the best. When I spray with other sprays, the yellow jackets come out of the hole and chase me. This foam has no real odor and the foam quickly seals them in the hole while it is killing them. This keeps them from flying out and coming after me. I just have to watch for the few that are outside the hole and they always seem to be puzzled long enough to make it work safely. I think the low odor helps here. One thing I learned is to shake the can well then spray the solution into the hole for several seconds, filling the hole as much as possible. The foam will then rise up out of the hole and the next day they are gone. Good luck.

Question:	What are the Active Ingredients? Cannot read the image above and nothing from the seller
Answer:	This can be used for both deer and rabbits.
Question:	Does it come with a “straw” for precision spraying? My wasps like to nest behind my siding, so need a straw to reach those hidden areas
Answer:	Yes, your dog will be drawn to it but it does a great job keeping the deer away! I recommend this, just train your dog to stay off.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this kill asian giant hornets

Answer:	It shoots a straight stream, not a broad spray. Sorry...
