Ortho Home Defense Hornet & Wasp Killer7 - Sprays 20 ft. Above Ground (3-Pack)

A bit of advice. Research the type of nest or hive. Once you find out what type of nest to hive it is, you can determine the type of spray foam or spray killer you think would be most affective. During the spring and weather warming up, I noticed a mud dauber nest forming on the front door on the ceiling overnight. Small, but mighty! Once that foam hit? A wasp immediately flew away! I honestly haven’t smelled anything. Not like hot shots where sense can make me sick. However, it has kept the wasps away. And I’m satisfied by that! I do it everyday to 3 times just to keep them from coming back. Hopefully I can get a brave soul to help knock it down and go bye bye! Ain’t no stinging bug coming by me! I’m pretty satisfied. It does take time and research (thank google) and knowledge in the bug department, to determine which type of hive it is. Then you can tell if this foam spray works quickly and effectively. Sometimes it takes a couple of brands to determine the killing ingredient for each brutal hive or nest. But so far? I do love this one! It’s powerful. Granted it has sprinkled foam but it does spray far! And that’s all that matters! It kept them stingers away!

Texas, man. Wasps, crazy cockroaches, all kinds of bugs. You never know. Wasps especially. I use this every season to stop them making nests around the house. I love it. Every house needs it.

This has easily been the most effective pesticide I've found for dealing with wasps thus far, even managed to get rid of the wasps that were flying in & out under the overhang of my house behind the siding (expecting there is probably a hive under the siding, but I never saw another one fly out or in from there again after I sprayed that particular crevice on the front of my house from one end to the other). I suspect it leaves a residue behind that is deterring them from coming back to the same locations that you may have sprayed. I usually only see small hives (pretty rare to find one larger than a super ball, but it has happened), but spraying the area around it in addition to the hive itself is usually enough to keep them from going back to that particular place.Of course these wasps are pretty persistent & keep coming back (they've been returning to the same place under the siding for years, that was until I sprayed it with this poison), I keep finding new hives I have to take care of fairly regularly in different places, but this poison gets rid of any new clusters fairly quickly (until they come back & start a new one somewhere else). Because of this & running through cans fairly quickly, I've been purchasing these fairly regularly (usually 3 cans per order, but those typically only last a couple days to a week), but based on their effectiveness, I see the cost fairly cheap based on it's performance.Note that I've also tried a Raid brand that can spray 30 feet away (spray, not foam), but the effectiveness of that product didn't even come close to what the foam brands can do, I typically won't purchase anything other than a foam pesticide when dealing with wasps anymore. Of course I am still looking for another option for those that keep returning after I take care of another one of their hives, so I might consider purchasing some kind of deterrent (maybe some kind of fogger) if I can find something that will work.I will point out however that it's possible to get a can with a bad top on it, I did once out of the 9 cans I've purchased over the past few months (1 still unused, 1 I've started to use, the 1 can I had to throw away & get a refund on it). The top on it apparently was not correctly fitted to the tube & the poison came out on my hand 4 times before I eventually gave up on it & called Amazon to explain the issue. I didn't see the loss of the can as a big issue however, just knew it would be sooner before I ordered more.

Haven't had to use it, Hope I don't.

We have a serious red wasp problem that we have been battling for years. This worked!!!

Easy to knock down wasps without getting stung!

Had great strong stream and covered nest completely in foam. Tried hot Shot since then. Awful. Back to Ortho.

With the ingredients being basically identical, the most important aspect of a product like this is its ability to deliver to target. The Raid brand product hit the target 15 feet up precisely, with no overspray, down to the last drop in the can. The Ortho product had a bit more clinginess, but also had massive overspray with only 1/3 of the can used (I tried 2 cans, same issue) to the point where I had to change my clothes and launder them because the spray went all over the place, as you can see in the attached picture.
