The extension tube helps to direct spray into target treatment areas. For carpenter bees, treat active tunnels where activity has been observed. Leave the entrance hole open for 48 hours after application to allow the bees to contact and distribute the insecticide throughout the nest galleries. Then plug the entrance hole to prevent reinfestation of old nesting tunnels and reduce the chances of wood decay. For ground-nesting yellowjackets, use the extension tube to spray Spectracide Carpenter Bee & Ground-Nesting Yellowjacket Killer Foaming Aerosol directly into holes in the ground where yellowjacket activity has been observed. After 24 hours, cover the hole with soil. For best results, spray early in the morning or late in the evening when yellowjacket activity is low and most yellowjackets are in the nest. Read the entire label before use.

A:Â You might want try a wasp spray. Some can spray pretty far. The other option is to get one of those Ortho concentrate sprayers for a garden hose and load the jar with an insecticide concentrate or use your power washer.

Effective
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Wasp and Hornet spray from Spectracide is really effective killing wasps. It is easy to use and acts fast. The potency of the spray is amazing, you can reach wasp flying up to 27 feet away. This is really an insect spray to keep in handy for spring and summer time where there’s so many wasps and hornets around.

Spectracide wasp & hornet
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so glad I got Spectracide 18.5 oz wasp and hornet spray. It is definitely something I need around outside of my home. The wasp and hornets seem to always be flying around when I am doing things around the outside of my home.

Continues Working for Days
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wasps like to make homes in the corners of the windows on the upper level of my home where they are protected from the elements. I do not like that location because it is right above the front door entrance to my home where they create a nuisance. I love this product has a jet spray that reaches up to 27 feet. That is perfect because it reached the second store eave where they were housed with ease without the need to drag out a ladder. I also appreciate the non-staining formula since my primary purpose was to use the product around my home siding. By the next day I saw no noticeable evidence of wasps swarming around the nest. Since I am not easily able to get up so high to remove the actual nest, I also like that this product continues to kill insects who return to the nest over the next few days. I have also used this product successfully to discourage the carpenter bees who burrow into my wood decking. I only wish this product contained a more targeted and controlled sprayer head. The can sprayer splattered and saturated the entire area around the nests also.

Killed them All
I had a 4" diameter yellow jacket nest built in the mulch under a small bush. Once I discovered where the nest was located I sprayed it with this product and it killed the yellow jackets. My biggest problem was that I disturbed the nest when I located it and I did not wait long enough to spray it, so I had to spray it twice. If you have a nest spray at night when the nest is fully occupied.

I used a bug zapper light/lamp and placed it at the entrance of the ground yellow jacket nest around 8pm (this takes care of the nest guards) then took the lamp out to apply the Specticide around 10:30pm at night using the red straw right at the entrance of nest and let her rip. In the early morning, i applied the rest of the spray can just to be sure and there were no more yellow jackets in the after noon, they are all gone so i closed the hole and called it a successful job. Poor bees, but we have children constantly around that area (front corner of the house) and we cant risk the children get stung by them yellow jackets.

Not sure if it is working....
Carpenter bees are going through a gap between the vinyl siding...
I sprayed this product between the gap but I still see bees hovering.
I dont know what to do. Is it working?
If the manufacturer sees this message please help.
What do I do to fill that gap after spraying? Steel wool? Caulking? Foam?

Effective and the Price is right.
After doing a long research on the web, I decided on the Spectracide. It worked. With the provided tube, I could reach in the tunnels through the drilled holes by the carpenter bees. 5 minutes after spraying, both the male and female crawled out and dropped dead on the ground as indicated by the picture.
