Raid Defend Outdoor Defense System Wasp and Hornet Bug Spray Outdoor Insect Killer, 17.5 oz.

I used this on a very small yellow jacket nest that was inside an vacant AC Unit. I did some research beforehand and bought a few other items for preparation and to have for future use if need be. Step 1. Identify the type of insect safely and from afar. Google is your best friend and Google image search. See if you can zoom in with your phone camera and see how big the nest if it's an area you know your exits. I did this during the day rather than the night. If you're shining a light on them in the night and do disturb them, they can't see good so they will go straight to the light. Step 2: Wear clothes that you don't care about throwing away or buy a full size plastic raincoat poncho that Walmart carries for $3-$5. They are disposable. Also get some throw away long gloves and safety goggles. Walmart has all these items for less than $10. Use a mask! I had some but you can find decent small packs at Harbor Freight or even at Walmart. Step 3. Do it in the very early morning or very late evening. Make sure there isn't a breeze and KNOW YOUR exits to leave. Luckily I hid behind a door mesh that we have on our doorway so I had double the protection. The only con of going at it early in the morning is depending how early, you may not get them all because some of them take off to forage during the morning / day. I got lucky and was able to get all 5 but one of them got a chance to escape but came back and died with the residue. Step 4. Make sure there is no wildlife or stray animals in the area when you do this. Also if it's on a porch or area that your animals lay down or walk on. If you have to do it in that area, use warm water with soap after your done killing the nest as soon as you can. If it drips, do not clean the area you spray, it does leave a small residue so if any others come back they will die if they get enough on them because wasps or any of these types of insects constantly clean their feet. So they will ingest it. Anyway, clean the area. I had to clean the area because some of the spray fell on the stairs underneath the AC Unit. I have feral cats who come and hang out so I didn't want them to get harmed. Again warm water like a few gallons and dawn dishsoap. This is just an extra precaution I did. Step 5. Good luck and if you feel like this is too much, hire pest control immediately. This is all I can think of to help but it did take care of my issue. For prevention, I spray my porch and the area with a diluted mixture of dawn soap, peppermint, and lavender oil. Again its diluted so it keeps most bugs away, including roaches. I do it carefully so no issues with harm to any of the furry animals who visit. I buy my oils from Amazon. :)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This wasp and hornet spray gave me great results. The spray reaches a good distance, making it easier to use while keeping a safe distance. It works quickly on contact and was very effective at getting rid of the wasps. I especially liked being able to treat the area without getting too close. I would definitely buy it again and recommend it for outdoor use.

I can locate a space, spray it well, and instantly the bugs are gone. The spray last me a very long time, and the brand is very trusted. The can is sturdy and the sprayer is nice. It is easy to travel with and store. Great product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had a HUGE wasp or hornet—honestly, I'm not sure which one it was—and living in Florida, these guys are no joke! 😳🪰 Thankfully, this product did exactly what I needed it to do. It eliminated the wasp/hornet quickly and efficiently, without me having to get dangerously close. The spray nozzle has great range and accuracy, so I could aim directly at it from a safe distance. Even better, there was no annoying spray-back or backfire. For me, this was the perfect solution to an unwanted, very intimidating visitor. Those things looked mean, and I was definitely not interested in getting any closer than necessary! 😂 Overall, it worked quickly, sprayed accurately, and got the job done. Florida wasp/hornet: 0. Me: 1. 🏆😂

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I keep a can of this Raid spray in the garage mainly because of that 22-foot stream. It lets me knock out wasp nests under high eaves and gutters without having to drag out a ladder or get dangerously close. The instant knockdown is solid, and because it is non-conductive, I don't have to worry about popping off a stream near outdoor light fixtures or outlet boxes. The main trade-off is the petroleum base, which leaves an oily residue on vinyl siding or windows that you'll have to wipe down later, and you definitely want to keep the overspray off any nearby plants or garden leaves. I usually hit nests at dusk when the whole colony is back inside, soak it real quick, and then just leave it alone for a full day before knocking the empty nest down.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This thing is great. We have a wasps problem here in Arkansas and they are vicious. I was being chased by ome and remembered I got this from influenster and ran in the shed grabbed that bad boy and it spray niiiice. I'd almost say it could be good for bear spray as it smells pretty potent but i wouldn't recommend you spray a bear with it, lol. It stayed clean, a nice straight line. I couldn't tell you about the residue as I didnt touch it. I store mine in the shed
