is it reliable enough to kill a wasp?

As a rule I don't kill any type of bee as they kill other bugs or make honey and pollinate plants. That being said it would probably kill a honey bee but I don't think its strong enough to kill a wasp or a mud dubber ( big slow black bee ). Good luck

It is not that powerful and we are not talking round shotgun pellets (the pattern is unreliable at best.) You would mainly have an angry wasp. This is called bug a salt but its really only a fly mosquito designed gun. A better solution for that problem is a tennis racket where you tighten up the pattern toward the center. I used that quite reliably on wood bees and wasps that were eating on the side of our cedar plank house growing up.

As far as I know, he hasn't tried that yet. Personally, I believe it would if you are within range. It's worked on every bug he's aimed it at within the proper range. It took me two tries to kill a big spider because I was afraid to get close enough. You have to be within three feet of your target. Good luck!

If you intend to use this on a wasp, the wasp may survive and get angry, so you better have a plan bee.

Not sure, Beth, but it is some lethal stuff so I would imagine it to be pretty effective against any sort of insect. It says that it kills termites, so...

I've only used it on flying insects (wasps, mostly.) It is practically instantaneous with them. My guess is it's worth the try with fleas-you'll know quickly if it works or not, and if not, you'll have it around for other pests when needed.

Hi Rebecca, I'm sorry about your wasp problem. We have this product and I certainly wouldn't want it sprayed in my car. It is on a timer and would spray the chemical at timed intervals. I have no idea if it would even work with wasps. Good luck on your quest to find a resolution to your wasp situation!

In my experience, the wasps were gone in about four days time after I hung the waspinator up and I did not see any evidence of them building nests nearby or anywhere else on my house- my house was 1300 sq. ft. with a large barn next door to it. I don't know what the radius distance is, but it did work for me. The wasps leave the territory area, but I'm not sure how big that really is.

Sorry it took so long to answer back. I've used only on carpenter ant and wasps!! It works great on those two.

I'm not sure. It appears we have fewer wasps & yellow jackets where I placed the Waspinators. That said, I'm not certain if it's because there have been fewer of the pests this year because of our rainy summer, or if it's because the product worked. Wish I could be more helpful.

I would say it depends on what areas you plan on using it in. I used it on our roof cap" metal roof" and under the eaves and spot use wherever I detected wasp activity on or around the house.We live rural on heavily wooded property and the house is under regular attack by various insects. I really like the product and it works great. I found large established wasp nests in plumbing vent pipes and when dusted wasps fell and died immediately. I use about 3/4 of a pound in a season. Our house is 3700 sq feet.

According to the company information it will not deter wasps that have already nested but it does deter any new ones from establishing one. I find this to be accurate from my experience. The drawback is that you have to bring it In from the rain because it's basically heavy tissue paper. Better would be to make them out of a polyester fabric so they can be out regardless of the weather. The posted range is about two hundred feet but I would guess the wasps would have to have really good eyesight to be deterred that far.

Yes, it does. There was a wasp in my house today, and I chased him around til the Zapper could make contact. After the first zap, he then dropped to the floor and I zapped him a few more times, as he was still moving. But YES, he ended up DEAD!

i think it is a great bug killer, and would kill any kind of bug. it sure got rid of the stinging scorpions around my house. it keeps killing after you spray it on the floor for months.

Bug Warrior is extremely effective for all types of flies. I have used it for wasps / hornets effectively. As for mosquitoes it's overkill; they just vaporize. Highly recommended.

Yes it is. It's effective on anything that moves including hornets, wasps, scorpions, and any other insects that you can think of. It is well worth the money. Just be careful buying it from some of the third party sellers on Amazon. They try to charge twice the amount that Amazon charges. If Amazon is out of stock, buy it at The Home Depot for less than five dollars per can. I've seen some sellers on Amazon charge as much as $11.00 per can which is a total rip-off. I hope this helps.

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.

All of those, wasps, bees, and flies, are generally a lot faster and more aware of their surroundings and danger. If you are lucky (and brave) enough to actually capture one of these, I believe the bristles are strong enough to hold the little critter. Catching them up against a window would be easiest since they "think" they can get away. What you do with them once caught would be the real question. If you want to release them outside then that's pretty simple. If you want to flush them, that may be more of a challenge. But if you are asking if the Catcher is strong enough, the answer is yes.

Yes, Denise, I am amazed how well that aspect works. We have plenty of wasps flying around the yard but none bother with this feeder. I've had lots of trouble with other feeders in the past. Can highly recommend this one!

Maybe not KILL but it'll certainly take down any flying insect so you can step on it. I think it destroys their wings then they're not going anywhere. I love it!
