I couldn't remember but hot shots in the black can sprays really powerful stream. Wasps drop dead on contact vs cheap spray, and it leaves a residue that makes any remaining ones not come back. The Why traps work great as the lure Wasps, Hornets, Yellow Jackets (WHY)
Wasp & Hornet Spray: Which brand sprays the furthest?
- Thread starter Egg_Head
- Start date
Where do these buggers come from? One warm day here and they are flying about all over, seemingly out of thin air.
Update on this: I purchased off Bezoszon one of the spray can holders that attaches to an extension pole (which I already had) A few things I learned: As stated earlier, you definately need to start with a fresh can of poison. Your aim will not be great at full pole extension plus there is a learning curve on how to preset the angle of the can and a full can will still deliver payload at obtuse angles. Plan on using 80% of a full can per attack. Product worked as described, pretty ingenius I'd say. I would have never known such a product existed w/o this forum.
I have a Roundup branded sprayer with a three position nozzle, like pictured below.
The stream setting sprays good 20 feet into the air when fully pressurized. That’s good enough to reach the eaves on the second floor.
I spray Bifen with this sprayer around the house and on any wasp nests. Works awesome.

Around 25 ft.
Garden hose with a sprayer with concentrator nozzle at the end of the sprayer.
I came across another sneaky hiding place for wasp nest while cleaning pine needles out of the eaves trough. It was in the upper part of an eaves trough in the inside corner were two meet. I found the foam very handy the the cramped space. Here’s a shot of the nest after soaking in the foam overnight.

When I worked maintenance for an apartment complex we used black flag and it shoots far and drops Hornets instantly. It also leaves a smell that Hornets don't like so they go elsewhere. I also like the yellowish-green WHY traps which work well, just be sure to refill the scent pad and water.
You want this stuff. Hose end sprayer or pump sprayer...mixed as directed and spray the nests and surrounding soffits, gutters, etc. They'll be dead in 24-36 hours...all of them.
I just use high pressure water from a power washer. No chemicals, no residue, blows the nests to smithereens.
