Control Solutions82770003 Stryker 54 Contact Insect Spray, 15 Ounce (Pack of 1), Clear Aerosol

Well after spending over $40 on multiple cans of Raid Wasp & Hornet Spray, not only the kind that foams and shoots 25ft but also the can that had the same type straw sticking out of it and was specifically noted for Wasps and Hornets, 2 of those, all of which the yellow jackets living in my outside wall somewhere behind the siding must have eaten for breakfast and then continued having spawn, I discovered this stuff after google hunting what to do because nothing was working. The yellow jackets had gotten behind the siding and were entering, (and exiting the same spot thankfully), right beside the entry door I use. Nothing worked, I guess the foam couldn't get into the siding as far in as their nest was. And you cannot use bug bombs, read the label carefully, cannot use in any room or space smaller than 5ft x 5ft, so that was out. Then surprise surprise, another harem of yellow jackets made a nest under one of the white wood pillars to the left of my front porch entry steps, the alternate entry I had been using because it was not safe using the side door by the drive. So then I had enter/exit through the garage. Was finally fed up with that and worried the mailman would get stung or someone else inadvertently approaching any door, worried someone would be allergic, worried the yellow jackets would swarm, and thankfully I found this stuff. First night waited until 10pm, that's the special hour they are finally done bumbling back into the nest, I learned a lot, they cannot see well so wait till it's pitch dark, flicked on the porch light, got the ladder up, inserted the wand into the entry point in my siding, sprayed 3 puffs, a total of only about 3 seconds total, and waited. Because it says to spray so little I thought I'd see them coming and going still in the morning, no way this stuff would get them when nothing else had. I was wrong. I may have noticed 1 trying to enter the nest, saw zero exiting, found one dead one on the ground, and never saw them again. So far so good. Next night 10pm I put the wand up under the area they dug out at the base of the porch pillar, gave 3 good puffs on the want, not more than 2 seconds, went to bed. Zero activity the next day, zero yellow jackets, the only thing I saw the next day was knats flying around the entry to the former nest, I guess wanting to eat the dead yellow jackets. I can now enter my home from any door I want and know anyone coming is going to be safe. I would give this stuff 20,000 stars if I could. Only thing I will say is if you are going to spray anywhere you will be able to breathe it wear a mask or cover your mouth. I actually bought 2 cans, my neighbor had them in his attic for months, they had chewed through the ceiling and were going into the room their grandkids stayed in, so the Grandkids couldn't stay over anymore. He must have had multiple nests and multiple entry points but two days later I visited and zero yellow jackets visible trying to enter from above their deck. They WERE trying to escape by going into the Grandkids room but they were also dying. To finish this book up, do NOT waste your time and money buying cans and cans of Raid, they eat it, I know this stuff isn't cheap but I still have over 3/4 of the can remaining, and plenty for next year, and the next, so yeah it kind of is cheap. One more tidbit, I did the 3 puffs for 3 seconds two times, one night and the next for good measure. That's my 20 cents.

After spending $30 on HD wasp spray to no avail, I researched what to do about the yellow jackets that had nested in a crack in the mortar right at our front door. My brother had similar problem and spent $300 on an exterminator and I couldn't afford that. So read about this product and thankfully it was a great price on here. Used 1/2 the can on day 1, immediate results! Used other 1/2 on day 2 and problem was gone. Didn't even need the dusting powder they also recommended afterwards!

I had a pretty massive and active yellow jacket nest in my backyard that I noticed when I was mowing. I already had some tempo dust so I just sprinkled a bit at the nest entrance and noticed no more activity for a few days.Went on vacation and came back and saw that the nest was active once again and they had also tunneled out another exit. I found this product online and read the reviews about how well it does and decided to pick it up.This product does not spray like your normal wasp spray, it is more like a mist that only sprays out about a foot or so. I read some reviews on here that said this didn't affect yellow jackets at all so I wanted to make sure it would kill them instantly if I was going to have to stand directly at the hole to do it. I sprayed a small "puff" at one of the yellow jackets near the entrance and I have never seen a yellow jacket die so quickly. It fell out the air on contact and landed on the ground completely still. That was when I knew this stuff was going to work.So I followed what the reviews said and waited until night and pretty much had to run up and stick the nozzle almost directly in the entrance. I was pretty nervous they would come out of the other entrance and attack me so I made sure to wear extra clothing and gloves. I only sprayed for about 5 seconds and saw absolutely no activity. I waited a few minutes and treated the other entrance for 5 seconds as well. I didn't have any tempo dust left so I waited until the next morning hoping that did the trick. I was a bit skeptical about how effective it would be since the nest was so large.Next morning I saw ZERO activity from either entrance of the nest. I waited a few days to make sure the hatchlings wouldn't start working on the nest again and saw a few stragglers coming in and out of the nest every few minutes or so but nothing close to the activity I was originally seeing. Once I got some more tempo dust I treated both entrances again and this time dusted both entrances. I can now say that the nest is completely dead.This product works extremely well, the only downside is how close you have to get to the nest to effectively use it. I am pretty sure I didn't even need to use the tempo dust on the second treatment but I would suggest getting some if you have the money to spare just to ensure you completely kill the nest in the first try. Overall though I am very pleased with this product.

Waited until dusk to ambush the nest of ground wasps. They had built an extensive nest between the cement porch and house. I tried diatomaceous earth, boiling water nightly, vinegar nightly. I exhausted natural methods. I would have let them be if the nest wasn’t in a high traffic area. This spray worked in one application! It has an extended tube which allowed me to reach into the crack between the porch and house. A couple wasps had not yet made it to the nest and they were brought down instantly midair with this spray. I was worried about any lingering chemical smell, but there was nothing. Definitely recommend this product: 1- ease of use 2- extension spray tube for hard to reach areas 3- works instantly 4- no lingering chemical smell

Stryker is good at killing common insects, but you should use it cautiously around houseplants. The propellant can burn your houseplants. If you plan on using this around plants, you should use a non-aerosol version of pyrethrin. Stryker has a fair knockdown of common insects but isn't the best at preventing further insect infestations and needs to be reapplied. It has a fairly strong odor, and the area must be aired before entering.
