The Gotcha Sprayer Pro adaptor
enables you to attach and trigger wasp and hornet spray from an extension pole, for killing wasps, paper
wasps, yellow jackets, Carpenter Bees, and hornets nests. The Gotcha Sprayer Pro
will trigger virtually any aerosol can diameter, length, and nozzle style used
for spraying and killing wasps, yellow jackets, and hornets nests. It
attaches to any extension pole with a standard American threaded tip.
It will attach to your existing extension pole (if it has a standard American
threaded tip) or you can purchase an extension pole
from our online store.
Mud Dauber Wasps:
Mud Dauber wasps do not live in social
colonies. They form nests that look
like long thin tubes out of clay or mud. These
nests are where they lay eggs, which grow into larvae and eventually into more
wasps. Mud daubers build their
nests in protected areas, such as, house siding, window boxes, sheds, decks, and
overhanging ceilings. Mud Daubers
are thin and shiny, usually either black and brown, or they could have orange,
yellow, and black markings. They
usually feed on spiders. Mud
daubers can be controlled relatively easy using the standard wasp and hornet
spray.Using a Gotcha Sprayer
or Gotcha Sprayer Pro adaptor and an extension pole, you can simply attach a can
of wasp and hornet spray, extend the extension pole and spray the nest in short
quick blasts. Do this around dusk
and the mud daubers will never know what hit them.
Using a scraper to remove the old nest, will help ensure that other queen
mud daubers won’t move in. Using
the Gotcha Sprayer in addition to the wasp and hornet spray will allow you to
minimize the amount of chemical sprayed all over the house and yourself.
You will be able to position the wasp and hornet spray directly in front
of the nest without trapping yourself on a ladder.
Some wasp and hornet sprays are petroleum based and can discolor siding,
damage shingles, and kill surrounding foliage. Using wasp and hornet spray with the Gotcha Sprayer
adapter and an extension pole allows you to minimize the mess and over-spray.
Spraying wasps, yellow jackets and hornets is
much easier with the Gotcha Sprayer and Gotcha Sprayer Pro. Spraying cans of
aerosol wasp and hornet spray from the ground when trying to reach the peak of a
roof or the eaves is a messy job, not to mention getting the over-spray on your
house, in your eyes, and in your lungs. Simply insert a can of wasp and
hornet spray, secure by tightening the strap, attach to an extension pole, and
spray. Easily kill wasps and kill yellow jackets. By positioning the
wasp and hornet spray directly in front of the nest, there is less over-spray
and is much safer than using a ladder. With the Gotcha Sprayer Pro you can
easily add a duster for applying insecticide dusts. Sometimes wasp and
hornet spray alone will not kill carpenter bees. Using the Gotcha Sprayer Pro
with a powder duster, enables you to leave a residual dust in the carpenter bee
nest, eventually killing the carpenter bees. The Gotcha Sprayer Pro can be
purchased alone or as a kit, enabling you to spray aerosols or powder dusters
yet costing much less than the Bee Pole or the Dustick (dust stick).
The stinging insects that people most commonly come in contact with are classified in the order of Hymenoptera. That includes:
yellow jackets, hornets, and wasps. In general, yellow jackets, hornets, and wasps have a negative reputation around people, however when they are not intruding in our personal space, they can be helpful in certain ways:
yellow jackets, hornets, and wasps feed their young largely on flies and caterpillars.
yellow jackets, hornets, and wasps help keep these pests population in check. Unfortunately, the personality of these insects changes as the season progresses. Early on
yellow jackets, wasps, and hornets will only defend their nests when they feel threatened. As the season progresses and food sources become less available, they become more aggressive.
yellow jackets, hornets, and wasps are considered social insects and live in colonies. Within the colonies there is a distinct hierarchy between builders, gatherers, and reproducers. Some colonies of insects continue for many years, others such as
yellow jackets, hornets, and wasps start over every year.
Using the Gotcha Sprayer Pro
and our Powder
Duster can even make dusting the garden for slugs and beetles an easy
job. The Gotcha Sprayer Pro
can be angled so you don't have to bend or stoop down to apply the dust.
The combination of the Gotcha Sprayer Pro
and our Powder
Duster let's you apply the dust close to the vegetation, reducing waste and
drift.
