Because I am going to be bringing animals into the barn for food production I wanted to limit the amount of poison I spray around (particularly in aerosol form). I saw this at Walmart for about $4 and thought I would try it, worst case scenario I could go back for something more toxic. <\/p>\n<p>This is not a typical aerosol spray, more of a stream, and a reasonably powerful one. This allows you to be farther away (I tried about 12 feet) from the nests as the wasps leave. The spray works quickly but not instantaneously &#8212; the wasps move around for 1-2 minutes before they completely stop. They do not fly very well, or very far, if they were on the nest when sprayed. I did follow one and it flew several feet away, landed on a wall and then succumbed to the pesticide.<\/p>\n<p>On top of the effectiveness is its alleged safety for children and pets. One of the ingredients is peppermint oil, which gives the barn that post-toothbrushing scent that is pleasant without being overpowering.<\/p>\n<p>The company also makes a wide range of sprays for other specific pests. I have also used the flying insect aerosol, it was similarly effective.<\/p>\n<div class='ctx-module-container ctx_default_placement ctx-clearfix'><\/div><span class=\"ctx-article-root\"><!-- --><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Organic peppermint wasp killer <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false},"categories":[18],"tags":[1550],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13084"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13084"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13084\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13287,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13084\/revisions\/13287"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13084"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13084"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13084"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
