wasp spray

Nest elimination aerosol

Wasp spray is an insecticide designed to kill wasps, hornets, and similar stinging insects.

Most formulations shoot a concentrated stream up to twenty feet, allowing users to attack nests from a safe distance: I hit the nest with wasp spray at dusk when they were less active.

The spray typically contains pyrethroids that paralyze insects on contact.
