Wondercide - Wasp and Hornet Killer Aerosol Spray with Natural Essential Oils - Kill Wasps, Hornets,and Yellow Jackets - for Porch, Patio, and Outdoor Areas - Pet and Family Safe - 10 oz - 2 Pack

Every review is inherently personal. What one might hail as a groundbreaking success, a revolutionary triumph that reshapes understanding or thrills beyond measure, another might find merely adequate, or even profoundly disappointing. My recent encounter with the Wondercide Wasp and Hornet Killer Aerosol Spray perfectly encapsulates this sentiment, transforming my initial doubt into genuine admiration.My immediate need was stark: an active wasp nest was rapidly being built right by my front door, presenting a clear and present danger. My selection of the Wondercide - Wasp and Hornet Killer Aerosol Spray with Natural Essential Oils - Kill Wasps, Hornets, and Yellow Jackets - for Porch, Patio, and Outdoor Areas - Pet and Family Safe - 10 oz. - 2 Pack was purely pragmatic: it was the only solution available for overnight delivery, and honestly, for no other reason. I just needed something, fast.Upon first deploying the spray, the aroma was the initial surprise. Far from the harsh chemical fumes I'd anticipated from a pest killer, it presented a scent reminiscent of a pleasant bathroom air freshener. Admittedly, this immediately triggered skepticism. My thought process was direct: "If it smells this good, there's no way this stuff is actually going to work on something as tenacious as wasps." My initial skepticism was completely unfounded, and I braced myself for disappointment.However, my preconceived notions were utterly shattered. With a direct hit to the nest, the results were astonishingly swift. Wasps began dropping out, not just stunned, but undeniably dead. The efficacy was immediate and undeniable. I was genuinely impressed that something with such an agreeable scent could be so lethally effective. It was a groundbreaking success for me, turning a moment of urgency into a surprising triumph.This surprising success prompted me to do what I probably should have done before purchasing: I revisited the product's online description to learn more about what I had just used. And I can confidently say, the description holds true:Kills by Contact: The product description promises a "quick kill and fast knockdown" of wasps, and my experience meticulously confirmed this. The 15-foot long-distance jet spray was also highly effective, allowing me to maintain a safe distance while effectively tackling the open-faced nest.Protects Your Home and Outdoor Areas: While my primary use was for a specific nest by the front door, knowing it's versatile for "porches, patios, decks, playscapes, and more" speaks to its broad usefulness for outdoor pest control.Safe Around Kids and Pets When Used As Directed: This was the revelation that truly elevated my opinion. Discovering it's "safe to use as needed throughout outdoor areas around kids, pets, and your loved ones, when used as directed," provides an enormous amount of peace of mind, especially when dealing with pests in high-traffic areas.Plant Powered and Proven Effective: The use of "steam-distilled natural essential oils of lemongrass and geraniol" explains the pleasant smell and provides a "safe alternative to commonly used sprays you may have in your garage or shed that contain questionable ingredients." The absence of artificial colors or fragrances is a significant bonus.Easy-to-Use and U.S.A. Made: The aerosol format is straightforward and easy to deploy, and knowing it's "propelled by CO2 USA made* and powered by plant-based active ingredients" further adds to its appeal.In summary, what began as a desperate, last-minute purchase based solely on delivery speed transformed into a genuinely impressive discovery. Wondercide's Wasp and Hornet Killer not only swiftly solved my immediate pest problem but did so with an unexpected pleasantness and, critically, a commitment to safety that I now deeply appreciate. This product truly reshaped my understanding of effective pest control.I wholeheartedly recommend this product for anyone dealing with stinging insects. Just remember to follow the directions for optimal, safe use. It delivered a revolutionary triumph for me!

I absolutely love this wasp and hornet spray. Not only does it kill wasps on contact, but I've also found that it works well as a repellent.I started spraying the perimeter of our metal awning where wasps frequently gathered. Since using this product, I've noticed a significant reduction in activity—I'd estimate about an 85% decrease. Is it 100% effective? No, I still see the occasional wasp, but the difference has been impressive.Another thing I appreciate is the smell. It smells much better than traditional wasp sprays and doesn't leave behind that harsh chemical odor.When used as a repellent, it does leave a visible residue where it dries. On my metal awning, the sprayed areas simply appear a little darker. Since the awning is covered, rain doesn't wash it away, but I've found the residue comes off easily with a garden hose when I want to clean it. For me, that's a small trade-off for the effectiveness.As an unexpected bonus, I've noticed it also attracts and kills small flying insects like gnats.Most importantly, I feel more comfortable using it around my pets. Knowing it's made with pet-friendly ingredients gives me extra peace of mind while still being effective against the insects I'm trying to control.Overall, this has become my go-to wasp spray, and I'll definitely continue purchasing it.

I was plaqued by those little buggers, wasps, yellow jackets, hornets they were even dive, bombing me and my poor cats and their catio I reached a point that I was calling somebody out to come and do it, but the neighbor came over and said give me that can of bug spray that you bought and I said OK not thinking it would do anything and I’ll be darn it killed him instantly and it’s safe for people and pets and that’s the most important thing to me and my cats that’s why I bought it. It worked better than any other brand out there so if you have a problem like I did and were plagued by them, dive bombing you and everything else this is the brand to buy yeah it’s a little more expensive so what it’s better for you and it’s better for your cats and the end of the day that’s really what matters is your pets and you so just buy it you’ll love it and it comes with two cans so you can’t go wrong. That’s $10 each all right that’s my two cents peace out.

Leaves an oily mess.It smells a bit like conventional bug spray.I used it to get rid of wasps and to stop them from congregating near my entrances and it seems to work. It looks like it’s also keeping them away as I’ve noticed the wasps and Yellowjackets have been very active these past few weeks.Me and one of my kitties were stung so I’m not going to do nothing but I didn’t want to spray pure poison (the conventional sprays) either for many other reasons-like my pets and honeybees.This seems to be doing the job.——————————Update: it has kept a swarm away from a previous spot and a new different kind of wasp swarming a different spot.One strange side “benefit” is it may attract fruit flies, but the fruit flies seem to be killed by it too.

I was having a problem with wasps on my sunporch. The wasp sprays I had tried were not the answer because one leaked as I sprayed and none of them sprayed far enough away to reach the wasps. So they didn’t die, but turned to try and attack me.A friend told me about Wondercide and it solved the problem. It sprays so much further that the spray hits the wasp killing them on contact. I will certainly buy again.

It smells nice but kills on contact is false. I tried this as an alternative to “Wasp Freeze” and it was very apparent Wasp Freeze works way better and kills immediately. This stuff here is oily and smells good though

Recommend for smaller wasp nests. The spray is pretty far, but the solution goes pretty fast too. There was immediate impact when I sprayed the wasp nest and any wasps came crashing down! The Wondercide does leave a chemical like scent but it was light enough where it didn’t feel overpowering, and we didn’t smell it anymore going back to the location a few hours later to ensure no more wasps appeared.

Very small volume. It literally has to hit the wasp. It attracts every other bug in the world. So after spraying, the wasps are still flying around because they were not touched by this wondercide. and everything i sprayed now has a layer of bugs on it from last night.It is effective, if you spray directly on the wasp - wasp may die.. but also may fly away.Leaves a spot that has to be washed away afterwords.
