Fast and effective
Works perfectly and quickly at killing carpenter bees as well as spiders, wasps, and other pests I’ve had to deal with.

ONLY product that FINALLY KILLED OUR YELLOWJACKET PROBLEM!!
This is the ONLY thing that FINALLY killed our Yellowjacket problem! My 12 y/o son and I are both very allergic to ALL bees! And we had thousands of Yellowjackets make a nest in between the wood boards and into the ground behind it, right in our parking area next to our front porch! The bees apparently did this while we were on vacation. I got stung 5 times just trying to get into my car twice!!! I had to try to park back farther after that, and walk in a big circle way around that area just to have to try to get near it anyway to get onto our porch to get in the house. We tried 4 different sprays that said they killed Yellowjackets. NONE of those even affected them!! Every single night, my fiancé sprayed the area in between the the wood where the bees came in and out. That way all the bees were in the nest and would get the poison on them. This spray is GREAT because it also expanded into the wood into the nest itself that was in the ground behind the wood that we couldn’t get to! Every single morning, we seen about 50-80 bees dead on the ground in front of the wood! We had to spray nearly an entire can every night for a week and a half to kill all the bees that were in that HUGE nest!! After there was no more bee activity there, my fiancé sprayed the area with clear flex seal to help reseal over it so that the bees couldn’t get back in there. There are now no more bees there and my son and I can now safely get in and out of my car and I can park back in my parking spot!! NEVER STOP MAKING THIS SPRAY!!!! It saved both mine and my son’s lives…. Along with our Epi-pens! We couldn’t be more pleased with how quickly and effectively this killed the yellow jackets when nothing else would!

Better than anything else I’ve found but not perfect
I keep ordering these because we consistently have carpenter bees and I haven’t found any better sprays. That said, this spray has not worked perfectly. I have had experiences spraying it directly on a bee without it killing the bee!
H**!
The foaming makes this great
This is my go-to for getting rid of stinging jerks when they dig in to tight spaces. It flushes them out and they don't come back.

Best spray for ground nesting yellowjackets
We tried all the internet tricks to get rid of a persistent ground nesting Yellowjacket nest to no avail. Then this gem popped up on Amazon. It worked perfectly! The bees are gone! The spray can was easy to use with a spray nozzle that you could stick into the entrance of the nest to really get the spray in there. This product is worth every penny (and then some)!

Other brand is better
Very disappointing product. I purchased the Spectracide Carpenter Bee and Ground spray hoping it would finally take care of the bees around my porch, but it did absolutely nothing. I followed the instructions exactly, applied it multiple times, and even tried treating the area at different times of day — the bees kept coming back like the spray wasn’t even there. The nozzle isn’t great either; it clogs easily and makes it hard to get a steady, targeted stream. The product runs out quickly, and for the lack of results, it feels like a total waste of money. Overall, this spray did not solve the problem at all. I wouldn’t recommend it.

Spectracide Carpenter Bee and Ground Nesting Yellow Jacket Foaming Aerosol, 16-Ounce
This spray works well enough. It took a couple of hours to be somewhat effective, so although it works I really wish that it worked faster.

Foam worked where wasp spray couldn't
The nest was underground then up under my sidewalk. Nothing else would touch these wasps. They laughed at my wasp poison spray. They flew right thru clouds of it. They bit my dogs and friends. Then I found this Foam. We would see new holes pop up from different sides of the concrete. But we foamed each one. We got them. The foam worked. It built up into areas the spray wouldn't reach. Quality good. Spray and straw worked well. Effective.
