Apicide Insecticide Dust Powder (10 Ounce)

Took care of my bee problem quickly

Great product

Yellow jackets had a nest under my siding and were getting into the house somehow. Used a little blower tool to puff this stuff into the hole where the nest was and it riled up the wasps pretty fierce. All of them were well dusted in the powder and went on flying around going in and out. However, within a few hours the nest was fully inactive. No wasps going in or out. This is great. Means the slow acting nature of the powder let the drones drag it into the nest and expose the queen before they finally bite the dust. I barely used 1/3rd the bottle so this will be great next time this happens.I will say, you can buy this thing for nearly half price direct from the manufacturer website. I didn't notice until after I ordered. All well. I'm not upset about it. I'll buy direct from now on, but with how effective this is the one bottle might last a few years. Very happy with this purchase!

Easy to apply (I followed the directions), but I cannot speak to the efficacy of the dust - I applied it in the early morning, during late winter, and apparently a good frost had either done some good pre-work (the wasps did not come out of their ground hole), or the frost had already done them in altogether. Anyway - I applied the dust, un-attacked, I walked away, and I have not seen any wasps since. This is a ground nest.

Based on the dozens of wasps I saw entering a hole where two gables met on my roof, I deduced that I had a wasp problem but could not locate the nest. I tried spraying both wasp killing spray and foaming wasp killing spray into the entrance hole with no luck. I then tried two different traps set outside with bait and, still, no luck.I then tried this powdered product and, where other products failed, this product appears to have solved my wasp problem (fingers crossed). The bottle comes with an applicator tube for getting into tight areas and I recommend applying at dusk on dry days when it is not too windy. The directions advise against contact with the skin, so I recommend putting a large, inside out ziplock bag around your hand when using the bottle, then flipping the bag inside out and sealing it with the bottle inside so you can hopefully seal the powder from moisture when not in use.

I used this powder and it solved my problem with the yellowjackets. My pest control guy came twice and I was not willing to pay for a 3rd visit because he didn't really solve my problem. He however gave me guidance. I was a little upset at him, but at the same time, I learned how to do it myself so I wouldn't necessarily have to hire him for stuff like this. What a dilemma.

The product arrived with instruction to remove the inner seal. The inner seal was already removed. I do not know how much content should have been in the contaitner but the container was only half full. You are to cuit the cap and then push a straw into the cap. To dispense you squeeze the bottle. The instructions state if the straw does not fit well, TAPE IT. It didn't fit well. Who sells a product knowing the deploying mechanism does not work. It didn't. I ended up taking the cap off and dumping the content. Cannot get it to dispense tothe area needed, where I cannot reach, because of this failure. Product will not work if you cannot get it to where it is needed. Horrific.

I had a wasp nest in my concrete foundation wall and I used this and in 2 days they were all deadI used it again at my aunts house where she had a nest inside the shingles same thingAll gone within 2 daysI had to use like a little dust blower I bought separately to apply this but I highlyRecommend
