Wondercide - Wasp and Hornet Killer Aerosol Spray - 10 oz - 2 Pack

Every review is inherently personal. What one might hail as a groundbreaking success, a revolutionary triumph that reshapes understanding or thrills beyond measure, another might find merely adequate, or even profoundly disappointing. My recent encounter with the Wondercide Wasp and Hornet Killer Aerosol Spray perfectly encapsulates this sentiment, transforming my initial doubt into genuine admiration. My immediate need was stark: an active wasp nest was rapidly being built right by my front door, presenting a clear and present danger. My selection of the Wondercide - Wasp and Hornet Killer Aerosol Spray with Natural Essential Oils - Kill Wasps, Hornets, and Yellow Jackets - for Porch, Patio, and Outdoor Areas - Pet and Family Safe - 10 oz. - 2 Pack was purely pragmatic: it was the only solution available for overnight delivery, and honestly, for no other reason. I just needed something, fast. Upon first deploying the spray, the aroma was the initial surprise. Far from the harsh chemical fumes I'd anticipated from a pest killer, it presented a scent reminiscent of a pleasant bathroom air freshener. Admittedly, this immediately triggered skepticism. My thought process was direct: "If it smells this good, there's no way this stuff is actually going to work on something as tenacious as wasps." My initial skepticism was completely unfounded, and I braced myself for disappointment. However, my preconceived notions were utterly shattered. With a direct hit to the nest, the results were astonishingly swift. Wasps began dropping out, not just stunned, but undeniably dead. The efficacy was immediate and undeniable. I was genuinely impressed that something with such an agreeable scent could be so lethally effective. It was a groundbreaking success for me, turning a moment of urgency into a surprising triumph. This surprising success prompted me to do what I probably should have done before purchasing: I revisited the product's online description to learn more about what I had just used. And I can confidently say, the description holds true: Kills by Contact: The product description promises a "quick kill and fast knockdown" of wasps, and my experience meticulously confirmed this. The 15-foot long-distance jet spray was also highly effective, allowing me to maintain a safe distance while effectively tackling the open-faced nest. Protects Your Home and Outdoor Areas: While my primary use was for a specific nest by the front door, knowing it's versatile for "porches, patios, decks, playscapes, and more" speaks to its broad usefulness for outdoor pest control. Safe Around Kids and Pets When Used As Directed: This was the revelation that truly elevated my opinion. Discovering it's "safe to use as needed throughout outdoor areas around kids, pets, and your loved ones, when used as directed," provides an enormous amount of peace of mind, especially when dealing with pests in high-traffic areas. Plant Powered and Proven Effective: The use of "steam-distilled natural essential oils of lemongrass and geraniol" explains the pleasant smell and provides a "safe alternative to commonly used sprays you may have in your garage or shed that contain questionable ingredients." The absence of artificial colors or fragrances is a significant bonus. Easy-to-Use and U.S.A. Made: The aerosol format is straightforward and easy to deploy, and knowing it's "propelled by CO2 USA made* and powered by plant-based active ingredients" further adds to its appeal. In summary, what began as a desperate, last-minute purchase based solely on delivery speed transformed into a genuinely impressive discovery. Wondercide's Wasp and Hornet Killer not only swiftly solved my immediate pest problem but did so with an unexpected pleasantness and, critically, a commitment to safety that I now deeply appreciate. This product truly reshaped my understanding of effective pest control. I wholeheartedly recommend this product for anyone dealing with stinging insects. Just remember to follow the directions for optimal, safe use. It delivered a revolutionary triumph for me!

product leaves can as a stream. Range is as stated in literature. Kills wasps on contact. They don't return to nest. In using the stream, it is difficult to hit every insect in the time you have before the insects locate you... . Would be good if the product had a fogger switch.

I absolutely love this wasp and hornet spray. Not only does it kill wasps on contact, but I've also found that it works well as a repellent. I started spraying the perimeter of our metal awning where wasps frequently gathered. Since using this product, I've noticed a significant reduction in activity—I'd estimate about an 85% decrease. Is it 100% effective? No, I still see the occasional wasp, but the difference has been impressive. Another thing I appreciate is the smell. It smells much better than traditional wasp sprays and doesn't leave behind that harsh chemical odor. When used as a repellent, it does leave a visible residue where it dries. On my metal awning, the sprayed areas simply appear a little darker. Since the awning is covered, rain doesn't wash it away, but I've found the residue comes off easily with a garden hose when I want to clean it. For me, that's a small trade-off for the effectiveness. As an unexpected bonus, I've noticed it also attracts and kills small flying insects like gnats. Most importantly, I feel more comfortable using it around my pets. Knowing it's made with pet-friendly ingredients gives me extra peace of mind while still being effective against the insects I'm trying to control. Overall, this has become my go-to wasp spray, and I'll definitely continue purchasing it.

Well I should have know better. Be warned to read cafefully. "KILLS BY CONTACT. Proven to work and easy to use, this aerosol spray is designed for quick kill and fast knockdown of wasps. With a 15 feet long distance jet spray, it kills wasps, hornets, and yellow jackets. Also treats open-faced hives." When you get the actual can it will specifically say it does not work on closed faced hives. That would have been useful product information to have the the description. Sure let me run around my yard and try to hit every wasp there with this stuff. When was the last time you saw an open hernets nest or wasp nest. my fault for not looking closer but it is still misleading in the product description. Write what you place on the can, please and thank you.

As described, effective, easy to use and does not smell strong at all.

I was plaqued by those little buggers, wasps, yellow jackets, hornets they were even dive, bombing me and my poor cats and their catio I reached a point that I was calling somebody out to come and do it, but the neighbor came over and said give me that can of bug spray that you bought and I said OK not thinking it would do anything and I’ll be darn it killed him instantly and it’s safe for people and pets and that’s the most important thing to me and my cats that’s why I bought it. It worked better than any other brand out there so if you have a problem like I did and were plagued by them, dive bombing you and everything else this is the brand to buy yeah it’s a little more expensive so what it’s better for you and it’s better for your cats and the end of the day that’s really what matters is your pets and you so just buy it you’ll love it and it comes with two cans so you can’t go wrong. That’s $10 each all right that’s my two cents peace out.

We have 2 nests wide by side in our exhaust vent of hour home with appx 20 hornets on them. I sprayed this from about 2ft away though it would have easily sprayed something 8ft away with precision. They didn't even swarm afterwards but instead started to drop and die within seconds. literally. it was glorious. The only thing you have to worry about is the product smelling like essential oils. lol. 100% would recommend to folks not wanting to use the poison in or around their home.

It smells nice but kills on contact is false. I tried this as an alternative to “Wasp Freeze” and it was very apparent Wasp Freeze works way better and kills immediately. This stuff here is oily and smells good though
