Bought the pack of two, but only needed one. A decent-sized bald-faced hornet nest was built directly next to my primary entrance to my house, hanging above the door. Thankfully no stings/attacks yet, but because of the location, unfortunately they had to go. Until it was sprayed, the nest was constantly active, even at night. The Plan: Wait until 1 hour after sunset, then try to spray the sentry hornets posted on the outside before they can alert the colony to swarm. Aim all around the nest to wet it initially, then close in fast and aim straight into the entrance hole. If I see movement at the entrance, spray it again. The goal is to block up the entrance with as many hornet bodies as possible to prevent others from leaving. Wait 24 hours, then repeat the next night for any foragers that were away at the time. I also had a shop vac set up in my garage in case they swarmed, I panicked, and I somehow ran out of Raid all at the same time. How it went: Waited until an hour after sunset. A sentry was posted on the outside as expected. I bought and wore a beekeeper suit (way overkill with the Raid spray) just in case. I executed the first few steps exactly as planned - soaked nest, then moved in to create a wall of hornet bodies at the entrance. It worked perfectly. Not a single hornet made it out. The sentry died where they stood. Beekeeper suit, shop vac, and the second can of Raid were not needed. Nest had 100+ hornets in it, and I confirmed the queen died when I took the nest down the next day. ONLY negative I can think of is that because these sprays are so pressurized and therefore can spray over 20 feet, the can REALLY does not last long. If I set a timer, I would be surprised if you could spray a continuous stream for a full 15 seconds before the can was empty. But honestly, I think that's a fair trade-off for the distance it travels. Most people (including myself) probably use way too much out of caution. Final assessment: I am impressed. This spray made a stressful job easy, and helped prevent my family from getting stung. I was worried that not getting the foaming version would cause me issues, but realistically I know my bountiful spraying would result in most of the foam falling off. By morning I couldn't smell any of the spray around the entrance, and I still had a few seconds of spray left in the can (could still feel it when shaking the can, but not much). Would recommend. And since the nest was at my door, my doorbell got a front row view of the action (photo is from when I closed in to block the entrance after soaking the nest).

This works so well! Husband got rid of a bunch of wasps and they didn’t return for a year. This is economical for how long it lasts.

I’ve been really impressed with this Raid Wasp & Hornet Killer spray, it works quickly and does exactly what it promises. The long-distance spray is a huge advantage because it allows me to treat nests around my house from a safer range, which is especially important when dealing with aggressive wasps or hornets. The formula acts fast, within seconds you can see results, and it’s strong enough to kill the entire nest, not just a few insects, which saves time and effort. Another thing I appreciate is how easy it is to use. The nozzle sprays steadily without clogging, and the can feels sturdy and well-designed. I used it around my roofline and backyard, and it handled both small and larger nests effectively. It’s also convenient that it comes in a 2-pack, so I can keep one in storage for future use or emergencies. Overall, this spray gives me a sense of control and safety when dealing with pests. It’s reliable, powerful, and a great solution for keeping my home and outdoor areas comfortable and protected.

I bought this Raid Wasp & Hornet Killer after discovering what appeared to be a tiny airborne kingdom being built under my eaves. The wasps had clearly claimed squatter's rights and were acting like they paid the mortgage. This spray turned me from a concerned homeowner into an action movie hero. The long-range spray let me maintain a respectful social distance from the angry sky raisins while still delivering an eviction notice. Within seconds, it took effect and it was clear how effective it was. What impressed me most was the reach. I didn't need a ladder, a prayer, or a last will and testament. Just point, spray, and watch the HOA of insects receive their final warning. The can sprayed consistently, worked quickly, and gave me enough confidence to walk through my backyard without feeling like I was entering a boss battle. If wasps could leave reviews, they'd probably give this one star. Since they can't, I'm giving it five.

This makes the hornets and wasps drop dead instantly, but it ran out quickly and got me stung by a wasp.. it smells awful but it gets the job done!

Had several wasp nests. Was able to spray from a safe distance. Wasps are gone and haven’t tried to restart nests. Price is very reasonable

I live in a new build and in the past couple of months I have had the displeasure of finding that wasps have decided to move in with us in the form of 5 nests throughout the outside of my home. Some of the nests have been in high areas under the overhand of my roof where it is essentially inaccessible unless you have a very tall ladder (which I do not). I purchased this product and am so glad that I did! It sprays very far, enough to hit the nest on the overhand of my second story and completely wiped out the nest. I sprayed about 2 months ago and the wasps have not returned and the nests have not been remade. I am very happy with this product.

Perfect for ridding myself of hornets nest under my postbox. Was able to stay far enough away to he safe. Shoots spray straight where required.
