The best wasp and bee spray on earth.. Login/Join

Yes it's that time of year and I'm to old and fat to run a forty yard dash so I offer my little secret. Rainbow Technology, Telco & Power Wasp & Ant Spray, used it for years on the farm in Pennsylvania, it's death in a can to flying miscreants. Utility company strength and means business. Don't waste your money on box store bargains. Highly recommended.

I refinish furniture etc as a hobby. I use various sprayers and lacquer for my finishes. There is nothing that will drop a nest of wasps etc faster than lacquer thinner. I put a 3' wand on the spray gun and one quick squirt with the thinner.....instant death. I can even hit the strays coming back to the nest. It burns them chemically so fast they are dead faster than they can react.

Hope you're using it on wasps, hornets, and yellowjackets but not on honey bees. Honey bee populations are greatly declining, they are relatively gentle (usually sting only if stepped on or swatted), and are vital to many crops.

Yep, and starter fluid does it too.

Too bad for paint (at least the chlorinated stuff), although it does work awesome too!

I use Raid wasp and hornet killer. Kills 'em immediately, and if you douche the hive it'll kill those returning to it.

My company I retired from, Florida Power and Light used to by that product by the truckloads, always had it in stores for crew check outs. We encountered huge wasp nests in our transmission and distribution substation infrastructure. It would wipe a nest clean on contact, instantly. You don't have the luxury of time when spraying those huge nests, especially high up in the towers. Excellent product!

This is what I had in my trunk at a Pilot truck stop when one of their employees got stung. A storage container had several nests inside and out. You get long range with the little red tube attached. I kilt 'em all.

When I worked for our local electric company years ago, we would use something similar. Took electrical tape to hold down the nozzle and toss a few bottles in an electric vault or pad mounted transformer and slam the lid shut. Waited until the buzzing stopped, then went to work.

Are you referring to one of these?
