Control Solutions Inc. 82770003 Stryker 54 Contact Insect Spray, 15 Ounce (Pack of 1), Clear Aerosol

I had a pretty massive and active yellow jacket nest in my backyard that I noticed when I was mowing. I already had some tempo dust so I just sprinkled a bit at the nest entrance and noticed no more activity for a few days. Went on vacation and came back and saw that the nest was active once again and they had also tunneled out another exit. I found this product online and read the reviews about how well it does and decided to pick it up. This product does not spray like your normal wasp spray, it is more like a mist that only sprays out about a foot or so. I read some reviews on here that said this didn't affect yellow jackets at all so I wanted to make sure it would kill them instantly if I was going to have to stand directly at the hole to do it. I sprayed a small "puff" at one of the yellow jackets near the entrance and I have never seen a yellow jacket die so quickly. It fell out the air on contact and landed on the ground completely still. That was when I knew this stuff was going to work. So I followed what the reviews said and waited until night and pretty much had to run up and stick the nozzle almost directly in the entrance. I was pretty nervous they would come out of the other entrance and attack me so I made sure to wear extra clothing and gloves. I only sprayed for about 5 seconds and saw absolutely no activity. I waited a few minutes and treated the other entrance for 5 seconds as well. I didn't have any tempo dust left so I waited until the next morning hoping that did the trick. I was a bit skeptical about how effective it would be since the nest was so large. Next morning I saw ZERO activity from either entrance of the nest. I waited a few days to make sure the hatchlings wouldn't start working on the nest again and saw a few stragglers coming in and out of the nest every few minutes or so but nothing close to the activity I was originally seeing. Once I got some more tempo dust I treated both entrances again and this time dusted both entrances. I can now say that the nest is completely dead. This product works extremely well, the only downside is how close you have to get to the nest to effectively use it. I am pretty sure I didn't even need to use the tempo dust on the second treatment but I would suggest getting some if you have the money to spare just to ensure you completely kill the nest in the first try. Overall though I am very pleased with this product.

This time of year is when yellow jackets are prone to becoming more active. We noticed a few in our bathroom and discovered that they had made their way into our home via a gap in the siding. In the morning they aren’t as active and I was able to apply pesticide to the nest that they had built. Having a spray nozzle that extends was instrumental as it allowed me to spray directly into the gap with no overspray. It made the application much more safe and effective. I additionally spayed inside the home around a window and there was no mess or odor.

I tried for weeks to treat the soffit and siding over my front door and window for an extensive yellow jacket nest using Delta Dust in the evening. But every day it was swarming with yellow jackets coming and going with very little change in activity. So I did more research and found Stryker 54. I treated the main entrances that evening and I did seem to anger a small group of them doing that but none stung me and there was NOTHING the next day. I treated it one more time the following evening for good measure but I haven't seen a single yellow jacket enter or leave the nest in days. I did have to lean up and get the nozzle close to the entrances but it worked perfectly. I cannot recommend enough and am so glad I don't have to pay $$$ for a professional who likely would have recommended removing siding and soffit to reach the nest. I couldn't afford that right now.

Kills pretty quick and continues to kill when anything comes in contact with it. Highly recommend!

I bought this to destroy a hornets nest in the underside of my house. They are going inside the brick wall where the concrete connects the brick. I have tried Raid and Hot Shot with negative results, no dead bees. I bought this can as my sister said it worked for her. The hornets are out of reach from the ground, but I did manage to get some spray to the area, but not much. The can would only spray with no long stream for distance! They didn't like it, but flew off and a dozen or more came out. I'm not taking a chance on getting on a latter and getting stung. So will call an exterminator. I feel this would have worked if I could have gotten closer.

Newer update! I used this on some and nests near my home, and it worked perfectly! Within 24 hours, our ants were cut down by 90%! I’m ordering more now! Lol ** yes, it’s a mist, but it’s supposed to be. It acts like a gas filling the entire cavity where the nest is.** ** if you’re looking for some thing to get a hanging yellow jackets nest, a traditional foam, or stream style spray would probably work best.** ** I could care less about the smell, as long as it works** I am petrified of yellow jacket nests. I had a ground nest that I really had no idea how big it was. But there was a lot of activity. I’m sure foaming products would work, if you could get it deep enough in the hole. I was not confident I could do so. When I saw that this product was more or less a gas, that filled the entire cavity, I thought that was the best solution. Turns out it was. Wait until dark, sprayed about a quarter to half of the can, saw no bee activity while doing it. Put some diatomaceous earth down over the hole, figuring at the very least I’d be able to see if they were still exiting, and thus far they are not. If something changes, I will update my review. As it stands this is probably the only stuff that I will use for in ground yellow jackets nest.
