Stryker Wasp and Hornet Killer will kill wasps on contact up to 20 ft. away.
For cicada killer wasps, it is commonly recommended to use Delta Dust in each individual burrow. Cicada Killer wasps thrive in disturbed environments, such as landscaped yards and places where bare soil is exposed. You can discourage the wasps from nesting in your yard by cutting your grass on the highest setting and by adding a thick layer of mulch to flower beds during the Cicada Killer Wasp season. These wasps do not like over-saturated lawns either, so over watering during their season will help prevent them. Unfortunately, there is no foolproof way to prevent cicada killer wasps.
We also like to let our customers know that the Cicada Killer wasps are beneficial insects that provide free pest control for a couple of months each year. Cicada killer wasps paralyze and provision their burrows with other insects to feed their young. The beneficial Cicada killer wasps, while large and intimidating to see, are mostly harmless and there have been very few reports of anyone getting stung by just being near them. In most cases where a sting was reported, the wasps were being held or molested in some way. Cicada Killer Wasp stings are also reported to be almost painless.
Stryker Wasp and Hornet Killer is a product that kills on contact and it does not offer a residual. If you are wanting a product to use that will leave a residual or continue to kill after it has dried, Cyzmic CS would be a great choice. We also have a great guide on How To Get Rid of Wasps.
When applying Stryker Wasp & Hornet Killer, it is safe as long as you keep pets/children out of the area while you treat and until the product has had time to completely dry or settle. Always be sure to follow the product label instructions.
