Gets the job done but not from 20 feet away

The stream was weak and definitely did not travel close to 20 feet. I was only spraying a wasp nest about 6 feet above my spraying height and I had to walk withing about 6 feet of it to hit with the weak arching spray. Thankfully not many wasp came out as I was practically right under the nest. You have to trust and break off plastic pieces in front of the spray nozzle which isn't clearly stated on the can.

Wasps be gone!

We have used this product for years. I have cans stashed all over the house and near doors as I am allergic to their sting. Never an isse until recently. Twice I've opened a fresh can and it just dribbles out. First time just tossed the can but have the 2nd can but can't remember where it was purchased and no reciept. After reading many of the reviews, this seems to have become a bit of an issue? Can you help, still the best product to kill wasps, but too pricey to keep tossing cans that don't spra.

Kills wasps and hornets... also flowers.

I've used this spray quite often and it is effective. I had ornamental shutters and some wasps decided to make some homes behind them. A quick shot at them during the night and they were all dead. But below these shutters are the flower beds on the ground. Areas that had drippings from the spray, those flowers died. Annuals and perennials.. so be careful.

Disgusted

My raid I bought didn't even work! I am so digusted that I spent my money on a product that was broken the cap twist part wouldn't come off like it was suppose to. Now I have 1 old nest and a bunch of wasps looking around in my garage and back porch for a place to start a nest.

THree cans and wasps are still there in the hundreds!

I ended three cans of these "guaranteed to work" product after the first did not KILL the nest waiting two days between applications! Giving reasonable time for each to do the job well, it has not! I am upset and without $$$$ and still with the problem!

Formula change ruined the product for me

For decades, 'RAID in the Black can' was my product of choice when it came to Wasp & Hornet spray. Used to knock 'em out of the air. Well, that changed about 2 years ago. I sprayed a small nest (3 Wasps) and they dropped, then shook it off and flew away. That never, ever used to happen. I checked the ingredients, and there was my answer. It will kill Wasps, but I've noticed as the can sits (ages), the effectiveness seems to diminish. Forcing you to by fresh cans every season. Oh well, things change. No longer worth the premium price in my opinion. I switched to a more reliably effective brand.

Works well when you CAN spray it out of the can

I have nearly a full can of your product and it will not spray. I also have 2 hornet nests on my front porch and another over the entrance to my house from the deck. Waited until dusk last night to spray your product, and nothing came out. Now I have 2 hornet nests at my entrance of my house , a full can of real kill that will not spray. Any suggestions?

Worked wonders

This hornet spray worked great. I had 3 nests on my patio. The big one had probably 40 hornets residing, the other 2 had probably 10-20. One can completely annihilated all three nests, and about 95% of the hornets in those nests. Other than the few that were able to get away, the rest of them dropped instantly.

Did NOT perform anywhere near advertised in two key areas.

Bee's are dangerous insects, and this product did not perform anywhere close to advertised in two key areas. Kills on contact, and distance of spray. Product says it sprays 22 feet, but in reality it went about 8 feet. I soaked the nest and exit hole with 3 cans and the bees kept coming out through the spray. I was fortunate to be able to drive my car up to the nest because they flew through the spray and we're trying to get into my car even as I was spraying them though a mostly closed window. It does NOT kill on contact. Without the protection of my car I would have been in trouble, because there was a swarm of them still flying and trying to get into the car. I would NOT recommend anyone use this without protection. I do think the nest is exterminated, but I'm waiting another 24 hours before I go investigate. I will have a different brand of bee killer with me when I do that. .

Not sure what "electrically non-conducting up to 32,500

Nest the size of a softball ballooned to twice the size over a few days. Waited until dusk during a downpour to spray on nest under the eaves near the back door. Spray comes out quick and shoots really far. The hornets didn't know what hit them. It was a the US Navy Seal team. Got in,got out, hornets dead.
