It delivers fast, on-contact elimination of carpenter bees and yellowjackets by saturating tunnels and ground nests. Ideal for professional-grade pest control, it works best when applied during low insect activity periods and includes a strategy to prevent reinfestation by sealing treated areas. ## Description Spectracide Carpenter Bee & Ground-Nesting Yellowjacket Killer Foaming Aerosol expands to hard-to-reach areas where insects live. 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. Review: Works great! - It’s so easy to use. I could even figure it out. So far wasps are staying off my deck.

Any suggests on how to kill them?** A: 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. **Q: Wait is this an aerosol spray or foam?** A: Hi there--Lets see. Its' an aerosol that you put a small straw into the spray opening (included). When you spray it, can spray pretty far, about 5-6-feet and it is like a foam that can get into places the bees go, like under fascia on siding. If you keep the straw out, it sprays like a regular aerosol. Worked good for me. **Q: Does this work on other bugs?** A: Hi marsha, thank you for the inquiry regarding our Spectracide Carpenter Bee and Ground Nesting.

I could even figure it out. So far wasps are staying off my deck. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wasp killer refill *by G***E on 6 June 2025* The refill looks fine ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product *by R***K on 23 March 2024* I know wasps are valuable pollinators and I feel horrible for being afraid of them. However, I have been swarmed and stung all over the head a few times in my life and it is a very unpleasant experience. It seems that the paper wasps in my area are extremely grumpy and I am clumsy and make them angry easily. I am tired of being stung and this product has helped me a lot. It shoots very far, so i am able to just crack the front door a smidge and blast nest builders off my front porch without betting stung. As long as the little buggars stay out of my mailbox and off my front porch, they may have any part of the yard they want. An added plus is that this spray is also excellent for self-defense. I keep a can at the ready when camping so that if I feel threatened, I can use it to fend off aggressive humans or other critters without causing them permanent injury (unless the are a wasp). It shoots very far and I am sure it would stop a human from attacking if sprayed in the face. Just make sure you run, because they will be angry when it stops burning. ## Frequently Bought Together - Spectracide Carpenter Bee and Ground Nesting Yellow Jacket Foaming Aerosol for Insects, 16-Ounce - RESCUE!
