A:  No. Doesn't stain vinyl siding. Have used several times

A:  Used successfully on carpenter bees but can't vouch for any other bees.

A:  I don't think you are supposed to kill honey bees. It worked marginally on carpenter bees around my shed last year....but they are back this year so I have to spray again. I sprayed in the holes, plugged them up and even tried to spray the bees directly. It took a few tries to make any kind of impact.

A:  Not very effective against carpenter bees or yellow jackets. Tried four applications on ground nesting wasps and they are still present

A:  Thank you for your question. Our product isn't formulated to kill honey bees so we cannot guarantee the product will be effective.

A:  Yes, but you cannot aim into a hold as easily.

A:  Yes you can

A:  Don't think it would work well and don't think I'd try it, would be afraid it would spray on me.

A:  I would not recommend this to ensure best application. Return product to your store or utilize an alternate nozzle, potentially from wd-40 or another similar application style product.

A:  Thank you for your question. Yes, you can spray directly from the nozzle. The extension tube is for use in applying inside cracks and crevices.

A:  I doubt it, just Carpenters.

A:  It did not work for me

A:  Hi Augie,thank you for the inquiry regarding our Spectracide 16 oz. Aerosol Carpenter Bee and Ground-Nesting Yellow jacket Killer Foam.This product is not geared for killing honey bees as they are good for the environment it may be harmful to them.Please contact us at 1-800-917-5438 or email us at youropinioncounts@spectrumbrands.com so that we may better assist you.

A:  Don't Kill honeybees! Find a beekeeper to come collect them.

A:  Yes it will, just protect your face with a shield in case of malfunctioning, the can will shoot a liquid from far away. Make sure you aim correctly.

A:  From my experience, the foam covers the entire area and kills everything moving. I even spray it on ones that are flying in midair and it brings them down instantly.

A:  Yes, this should take care of them. Waiting until dusk when they should be settled, then spraying, allowing the foam to expand and suffocate them.

A:  I tried. Yes for a period of time ... But they come back at the same spot....

A:  Yes it worked I sprayed it every few days. Over a span of spraying it about two weeks reduced significantly.

A:  Thank you for your question. Our product will kill the ones that contact the wet chemical; however we cannot guarantee that this will eliminate the nest as you're unable to determine the exact location or spray directly.

A:  It should work, I would use the foam type and try to access it from the attic or soak it good from the outside. Beer safe and think about a way out should you miss the nest. Best to do it at night when they are dormant.

A:  Not that I know of, since you are spraying into one wood area.

A:  Thank you for your question. Our product may cause damage to trees and shrubbery.

A:  Has not harmed mine. I sprayed around my rhododendrons, box wood, and Azelea last year numerous times with no harm.
