you won't be disappointed. One of the best products I have ever used. I would be SHOCKED if you have issues. We have dozens of guys using them in their deer stands now. Maybe more.

Finally!

Used the truck a few times, couple hours' worth, and no wasps. So I figured the green mothballs worked. But today a wasp flew straight into my chest when I opened the door. Then I realized this was the first time I'd opened the passenger door. Presto there in the door jamb was a nest. Not sure how I missed it before. Nuked it with wasp spray and scraped it off after it soaked in. And yep I re-checked all the other door jambs very closely.

2 hours later I go out to sit in the sun and have a beer when I find 3 wasps building a new nest on the frame of the garage side door! Wasn't there this morning so I'm guessing these were survivors quickly building a new nest. Nuked it as well.

Another front of the war opened last week. Wasps had a nest up inside our patio umbrella. I laid it on it's side and chucked in the Hot Shot poison thing noted above into the folds. Took a couple days but those are gone now as well.

I'm hoping the wasp season is over.

I'm glad I'm not the only one! I've had to knock down a whole bunch of wasp nests being built under the eaves of my house and garage. Nuked them all with wasp spray and knocked them down.

Guess I better look up,
I have been away from home most of this spring,
just got back to mowing the yard yesterday.

lucky to have my daughter, "Queen of the House" take care of the mowing most of the time.
she says "you run over my flowers, you are banned from mowing"

we have six acres of grass and trees.

ahhh hell no

never even seen one of those.

I 'll stick to the wasps, they don't bother anyone usually. I only get rid of their nests if it's in something that gets used
