Wasp Nest Killer Powder

This worked a treat with one application. We had a wasp going back and forth to the roof tiles above our single storey extension. We tried spraying with mint which is supposed to be a deterrent but that only worked for about 5 minutes after application. We bought this along with an applicator available separately and didn’t have to use much. It was very simple to apply with the applicator. A few poofs and that wasp never came back. The size is way more than we needed a few tea spoons would have done the trick but we not have plenty more should we have any further issues as the bottle seals very securely. Although it’s not cheap it was still considerably less than calling out an expert, and great value when you consider we’ll probably have enough here to deal with any wasp problem for the rest of our lives! We were also mindful not to allow this to drift onto plants, bird food etc. The product certainly works and is easily sprayed with precision with the right applicator so I would hesitate to recommend this to others.

Did the job. It was a very busy nest with an entrance in the last row of roof tiles above the fascia. The nest itself wasn't accessible but puffing in plenty of powder under the tiles towards where I thought it was, made sure any wasp returning would walk through it and carry it into the nest. Having said this, the application wasn't easy. You have to make sure the bottle is held at a downward angle. Applying the powder late in the evening (after 8pm and no wind) worked. Within 3 days no more wasps. I am allergic to wasp stings, so I had to cover up and make sure no skin was exposed. Make sure you wear a mask.

We had an infestation of wasps in our house a couple of weeks ago - they gained access via a tiny hole in some flat roofing at the from of our house over a bay window, and next thing I knew there was hundreds of them flying in and out. It was quite disconcerting as the buzzing could be heard in our living room, and crumbs was it loud - it sounded like they had an army of miniature lawn movers in there with them. Whilst I don't want to kill any living creature these guys became a right nuance and had to go after a few close encounters with us trying to get in out own front door. The most important advise I can give is... WHAT EVER YOU DO, TAPE THE LID DOWN BEFORE USE! Otherwise it all just falls to bits, leaving you vulnerable and at the mercy of confused yet angry wasps. I made this mistake the first time I went out and it could have been a lot worse considering I was stuck up a ladder at the time. Thankfully I was well protected (daughter's Halloween mask, and covered up head to toe) and managed to make a quick escape into safety. My subsequent effort with the lid taped up as per the photo was a much bigger success. You will probably need to use the powder at least twice - for me it took about 4 or 5 goes to rid us of them completely, and that was down to the fact the the nature of the opening they used meant I had no choice but to squirt it upwards rather than down into it. I suspect if I was able to get above the entrance and squirt the powder down it would have been a more effective and simpler task. After the first attempt a number of wasps flew at me, covered in the powder and looking like the angry ghosts of wasps past. The numbers decreased over the next few days with each new attempt until now they are no more. Soz wasps but it was you or me. In summary then, this did the trick and was a lot cheaper than paying the council £65 to do the job for me. I could have done without the lid drama adding extra excitement but if you know the problem it's easy to address.

Excellent result from this product

Have a wasp nest at the base of a hedge. Applied the powder into the nest entry in the evening which reduced activity significantly by the next day. Waited a day then reapplied powder and blocked entry hole. Several days later the wasps had created another entrance. I could have persisted I suppose, but I gave up and left them to it in the end as I read that wasps are in decline this year and are good for nature so should be left alone if not causing a danger. Hey ho!

If you have or get wasp nests buy this product, honestly i had a nest in my outside main gas box and it filled the box. My friend managed to get the powder into the nest it took 3 attempts as it was not the easist to get to, it killed the nest and still have plenty left an excellent buy

This stuff really works. I live in a bungalow and I had a wasps nest right outside my lounge window, little buggers kept flying into the lounge so I had to close the window. At that point, I didn't know I had a nest, I just got a little suspicious as to why so many wasps were in my lounge. Anyway, right under the eves there was a little gap leading to my loft and they were coming in and out, but at that stage, they were all pretty small so the nest must be at an early stage. I couldn't reach it without a ladder but I wanted them gone, so I looked through Amazon's huge range and settled on this product along with the powder. It arrived the next day so just before dusk I went out and without the need for a ladder I gave the hole a quick blast. It was very simple to do and seemed to cover the wasp hole nicely. A few came out but were covered in the foam and couldn't fly, I left them to bed down for the night. I had a look the next morning and they were still in and out of the nest, so I got the foam and gave the hole another quick blast of the foam, which covered the wasp hole nicely once again. A fair few wasps came out of the hole again but couldn't fly due to being covered in foam, I left them to settle in for the day. At dusk, I got the ladder and squirted the powder into the wasp hole, and got away from the nest pretty darn quick. Quite a few wasps trying to fly back into the wasp nest were stuck as the hole was blocked with the powder and they were getting covered in the powder, I left them to settle in for the night. The next day there were still wasps flying in and out but not as many as the day before, I got up the ladder and gave the wasp hole another squirt of the powder blocking the hole. Once again quite a few wasps were trying to get back into the wasp hole but it was blocked with the powder, I left them to settle in for the day. The next day they had managed to dig the wasp hole out but there were no wasps coming out. I kept an eye on the nest and still to this day there are no wasps anymore. I don't know if it was the foam or the powder but the nest is dead and gone so as far as I am concerned it's worth the money. I know the nest is probably in my loft and the wasp hole I am poisoning is only the entrance, the wasps do the rest by carrying the poison back to the nest, infecting more wasps and eventually killing the queen.

I bought this powder to get rid of the wild bee nest in my garden, they were a threat to my cat and my family wandering around the garden and they had built a nest under a pile of wood/soil that I had to remove and clean. I tried to apply the applications around and inside the nest entrance, generally at night. I can list the pros and cons as follows: Pros: - I did not experience any technical problems with the cap and tip of the fog. By squeezing the bottle a little, it sprays directly towards the target. But for a nest built deep under soil or bushes, like mine, this spraying may not be enough. Other liquid alternatives can be tried. Cons: - It didn't work at once. I had to apply it 3 times, I still haven't reached a 100% solution, maybe the problem may be that the nests are too deep, but I tried to apply as much as I could directly to the entrance and inside of the nest.
