No idea i know it wirks well around the house for insects by leaving an invisible layers, so that when self cleani.g insects such as roaches it affects tbere nervous system. I believe if you put it on the meat it may kill them if they land on it if they are slf cleaning. I knlw spiders are a little tricky because they do not clean thwmselves,but from what i understand it kills the beacuse of the trace amounts of insecticide left on other insects they eat so maybe. I would contact a local college science deprtment or the manufacture or just try it. If it doesnt work on the wasps you will have a vreat insecticide for around the house.

I have never tried this method, however I am sure that if you can get them to ingest the suspend sc it will kill them.

I have them both. The 375a has not been effective for me on carpenter ants, so I use it for other types. The Carpenter Ant Bait works well for me on carpenter ants specifically, but give it a few days to be effective. Note also that I use them outside. Find the paths they travel and sprinkle some bait. It ends up eliminating those that have gotten into the house.

It works fantastically on the majority of common household ants. However, depending on geographical locale, there are some specialty variety ants which require very specific remedies. I mix two different baits. One uses peanut butter the other jelly or jam. About 1teaspoon boric acid to two tablespoons of either mixture. Mouse ants are drawn to either protein based (pb) or sugar based (jelly/jam) foods. Mouthing both out covers your bases. Explorer ants find the goodies and carry them back to the nest where other ants and larvae are red and poisoned by them. Other ants follow the explorers' trails and repeat the process. Before long, no more ants. You may have to pay with the proportions. Too much boric acid and the explorers die before they reach the nest or do not touch it to begin with. Too little acid and all we do is give our house visitors a really good free treat. Of course the baits must be kept out of reach of children and pets. Good hunting!

Greg, the best insecticide for ants is Termidor. No question, hands down number one. Baits tend to take a while so I nail them with Termidor. They cannot detect it period. However, do not spray Termidor inside. Good luck

I don't know the answer, but my gut would tell me to use the one that sprays the furthest distance - toward nightfall when it is cooler, so most of the group is inside the nest and less active. You might want to look at this reference and see if this brand has a stunning agent to prevent them from coming out and stinging before you can take cover! Also take care not to crush any as they release alarm pheromones that bring the rest of the colony to their rescue. http://www.wvu.edu/~exten/infores/pubs/pest/hpm7002.pdf I would also try to figure out what attracted them there in the first place - spilled drink, etc. to prevent future infestations!

This stuff works amazingly well!!! Clean first real good and apply as directed. We didn't see many dead ones, but now we don't see any live ones crawling around. They feast, go back and kill the nest. It did take a few days!!!

According to information on previous review the active ingredient is Fipronil. According to Wikipedia "It is a slow acting poison. When used as bait, it allows the poisoned insect time to return to the colony or harborage. In cockroaches, the feces and carcass can contain sufficient residual pesticide to kill others in the same nesting site. In ants, the sharing of the bait among colony members assists in the spreading of the poison throughout the colony. With the cascading effect, the projected kill rate is about 95% in three days for ants and cockroaches. Fipronil serves as a good bait toxin not only because of its slow action, but also because most, if not all, of the target insects do not find it offensive or repulsive." Regarding whether the attractant is "sweet" or "protein" -- I really don't know; however, the ants that we killed had been attracted to sweet thing.

Sorry, I did not try it on yellow jackets.. just spiders and scorpions. Worked great on them.. won't use anything else from now on.

I bought it for yellow jackets and I can tell you it did NOT work at all. I was using the store bought peel and stick cardboard strips and they were working perfectly, although getting very pricey. I applied to this stuff to both the entrance and surrounding area as well as making my own sticky cardboard traps and hanging it up. This stuff did not work. Caught a lot of ants and really tiny mites, but that was it. I image the most it would do to carpenter bees is minorly annoy them.

My son-in-law uses it mainly outside for mosquitoes and it completely incinerates them. I've hit a few flies inside and they're dead with one hit. If I hold the zapper down low and swing upward, I can usually catch them mid air. I look for the body on the floor so I don't step on it. The zapping sound (snap, snap, snap) is great! I don't know about bees and wasps.

Not sure, they both have some same amount of Abamectin, as the active ingredient. Abamectin is a delayed-action insecticide, allowing for greater overall colony control. I have only been using it for about a week and it seems to be working, I have seen only about 3 ants in the house since I put out the baits. Also, it's attracting and I hope killing roaches too!

I received "FC ANT KILLER Bait Gel". I used it with "sweet ants" (those teeny tiny ones) and found it did not help much. I had much more luck with a bottle of Terro Ant Killer, placed on cardboard and replaced twice daily. They swarmed the Terro but never really touched the gel. Was disappointed in my results. I'm going to try both again as I am now finding Carpenters around.

Delta dust will kill anything that moves, including humans if ingested. For larger pests it may take longer to die. It's a neuro toxin. Our wolf spiders took a while, even with direct contact spray. My pest guy says anything that will "clean itself" will ingest this. This is why bed bugs die, even though they live off of blood. They, like most insects, clean themselves like a cat. Gross!

I would say yes. It is an pesticide and you should follow the instructions. Make sure your hands are covered (gloves),wear a mask when applying the treatment and use a hand duster. I had a terrible infestion of carpet beetles and beg bugs and when I applied the Delta Dust and I saw a big difference in 2 weeks. They are gone and I periodically repeat a treatment. I don't want them back ever again. I like delta dust because it kills a variety of insects and pests and wasps is one of them. Use it and it will get rid of those wasps. Good luck.

I haven't tried it on a yellow jacket or wasp. I didn't want to anger it if the electric swatter didn't kill it instantly. The Executioner Pro kills gnats and small flies immediately! Big flies are stunned and fall, to be finished off by your preference. I used it on a katydid (big green grasshopper). It fell but quickly flew away. I hope this helps.

Pretty well but hasn't killed them all. over time I'm confident. There is a bait they make that seems to have good reviews. I'd look up German cock roaches.

It should work on hornets... I think we've got one... The big idea is those entrances are shaped like cone with cut top, wide from outside, narrow on inside... Insects have no problem get in, but it's almost impossible to get out for them... I just used some review advice and used water with sugar, juices or fruits can ferment and you will have not so nice smell. Just change it once you see it's full of corps or gets dry: the fresher bait, the cleaner, the more intense smell...
