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.
