Final Thoughts

So there you have it, our list of the best wasp, hornet, yellow jacket and bee sprays. Some of these also work on killing other pest species well. Do be mindful of a few things when battling a nest with a killer spray product.

Always shake the spray well before use, stand back facing the wind and apply treatment during sunrise or sunset when they are least active [May: We suggest sunrise, so that it is still bright enough for you to monitor what’s going on after treatment.].

As much as possible, consider wearing a mask, a pair of gloves and even goggles. Avoid standing on step ladders of ladders so that should there be any need to move around, you are able to do so.
