Key Features
This spray has a number of important features that unite practicality and high efficiency.
- Long-range jet spray: The best thing about this spray is that it can reach nests as far as 27 feet. The great range feature means the user can access even tough to reach nests without having to risk their lives.
- Ready to Use Aerosol: The item is available in an aerosol can that is fully mixed. Homeowners do not have to prepare a complex measurement but only have to point and spray, and the procedure is fast and effective.
- Non-Staining Formula: The formula is made to prevent staining of most home siding. Nonetheless, siding conditions do not always behave the same way, so users are advised to test a small area before applying it more extensively.
- Broad‑Spectrum Control: The spray of Spectracide not only goes after wasps and hornets. It also addresses yellow jackets, mud daubers, tent caterpillars, ants, and even scorpions; it is a multi-purpose outdoor pest control solution.
- Residual Effectiveness: This product will also have long lasting results unlike some sprays that kill only on direct contact, and the insects may resume their nesting later on the next few days.
- Time of Application: The spray is most effective at sunset or at sunrise - the period when there is least insect activity, and when the pests are most likely to be within the nest.
- Safe Nest Removal: After spraying, a nest is not supposed to be disturbed within 24 hours. This makes sure that leftover insects are neutralized first before they are removed.
- Safety Reminder: The spray should be used outside only. Near electrical appliances, it should not be used because it can be dangerous.
Benefits
This spray provides multiple benefits that enhance safety, convenience, and home protection.

- Preserves Home Appearance: With its non-staining formula, siding and exteriors can be treated without leaving visible damage, provided surfaces are tested first.
- Multi-Pest Coverage: The wide range of target insects makes the product a valuable all-around defense for backyards, gardens, and outdoor structures.
- Time-Saving Efficiency: The powerful aerosol quickly soaks nests, reducing the need for repeat treatments when applied correctly.
How to Use
The spray is simple to apply. However, the correct technique is the most effective.
- Choose the Right Time: Spray during the morning or evening when the pests are not as active.
