Best Wasp Nest Spray Canada 2026 — PMRA-Legal Foams & Jets Compared

What Makes a Wasp Spray Legal in Canada? (Start Here)

Before comparing foam patterns and jet distances, the question almost nobody asks: is the can in your hand legal to use in Canada at all? Every pesticide sold for home use here must be registered with Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) and must display a PCP registration number on the label — usually a five-digit number after “Registration No.” That number means the exact formulation and its label directions were reviewed for Canadian use, and it makes the label legally binding: the directions on a Canadian can are not suggestions, they are the law of how the product may be applied.

This matters for wasp sprays specifically because the most famous wasp sprays on the internet are American. Spectracide Wasp & Hornet Killer — the one with the “up to 27 foot” jet claim that dominates US reviews — is registered with the US EPA, not the PMRA. So are US-labelled Hot Shot aerosols and the US formulation sold as Raid Wasp & Hornet Killer 33, which is not the same registered product as the Canadian Raid can. Under the federal Pest Control Products Act, importing, selling, or using an unregistered pesticide in Canada is an offence. A can that crossed the border in a trunk, or shipped from a third-party marketplace seller who does not filter by country, is grey-market — and every product recommendation below is a Canadian-registered alternative that makes the grey-market can pointless anyway.

One practical habit solves all of this: flip the can over and find the PCP number before you buy. Brand names migrate across the border; registration numbers do not.

Why Foam Wins for Most Canadian Wasp Nests

A wasp colony is not the dozen wasps you can see on the nest — it is several hundred to several thousand insects, a laying queen, comb full of brood, and a rotating shift of foragers who are out hunting when you attack. A spray only ends the problem if it handles all four, and this is exactly where format matters. A carpenter bee is the opposite problem — a solitary female in a single tunnel — and a jet aerosol aimed at the hole is the wrong tool; treating a carpenter bee gallery calls for a dust that stays in the shaft.

Foaming aerosols like the Canadian Raid Wasp & Hornet Bug Killer expand on contact into a wet blanket that does three jobs at once: it knocks down the wasps it touches, it physically plugs and coats the nest entrance so wasps inside struggle to boil out at you, and it leaves a treated barrier that returning foragers must crawl through for hours afterward. That third job is the quiet killer — the foragers who were out at spray time come home overnight, land on the entrance, and pick up a lethal dose. The active ingredients in Canadian-registered cans are typically fast-knockdown pyrethroids (the tetramethrin/d-phenothrin family), which are exactly what you want here: seconds-fast on contact, low toxicity to mammals at label rates, and short-lived in the environment.

Wilson’s WaspOut foam takes the same idea further with a heavier expanding foam that can smother an entire exposed paper nest — the classic grey football under a deck rail or soffit — and that pushes usefully into holes: a ground-nest burrow, a gap behind siding, a fencepost cavity. If your nest is a visible envelope or an entrance hole rather than open comb, WaspOut’s foam coverage is the most complete of the picks.

Straight-stream formulas trade the blanket for a narrow jet that throws farther, and here it matters a great deal which can you are actually holding. Ortho sells Wasp B Gon MAX Wasp Killer Spray in Canada — Health Canada PCP 33723, registered to Scotts Canada Ltd. — while the 20-foot Ortho Home Defense Hornet & Wasp Killer 7 that fills American search results is EPA-registered and appears nowhere in the Health Canada pesticide label database. Among cans you can legally buy here the longest published throw belongs to Raid Wasp & Hornet Bug Killer 7, which SC Johnson rates at up to 5.7 m; Scotts Canada rates the Wasp B Gon MAX foam at 2 to 2.5 m (6 to 8 feet). The trade-off with any stream is real: it runs off vertical surfaces, so a jet-treated nest more often needs a second application the next evening.

How to Spray a Wasp Nest Safely (The Full Technique)

Wasp spray injuries are almost never about the chemical — they are about stings, falls, and panic. The technique below is how licensed technicians think about a nest, scaled to a consumer can:

• Go at dusk, or just before sunrise. The entire colony — queen included — is home, temperatures are lower, and wasps are sluggish and reluctant to fly in the dark. A mid-day attack kills the wasps present and leaves hundreds of foragers to return to a furious nest.
• Dress for it. Long sleeves, long pants, closed shoes, snug cuffs, eye protection. Skip the cologne and skip loose clothing wasps can get inside.
• Plan the exit before the first press. Know exactly which direction you will walk — not run — and make sure the path is clear of hoses, toys, and patio furniture you will not see in low light.
• Stand at distance, upwind, never underneath. Use the far end of your can’s rated reach — Canadian manufacturers publish roughly 2 to 5.7 metres depending on the formula — positioned slightly to the side of the entrance’s flight line. Directly below a treated nest is where dying, dropping, still-stinging wasps land.
• Soak the entrance first, then the envelope. The entrance hole is where defenders emerge; plug it with foam in the first second of spraying, then coat the rest of the nest until it is visibly saturated.
• Leave. Do not linger to admire the work. Walk your planned exit immediately and give the nest 24 hours.
• Re-check the next evening. Steady traffic at the entrance means a second dusk treatment. Zero activity across a full warm day means you can knock the nest down and bag it — wearing gloves, because residue and the odd surviving wasp are both possible.

Two hard rules sit on top of all technique. First, never treat a nest from a ladder at dusk — if you cannot hit it with both feet on the ground, it is a professional’s nest. Second, never seal a wall-void entrance right after spraying. Yellowjackets trapped in a void will look for another way out, and the other way out is frequently through your drywall into a bedroom. Treat, wait days for zero activity, then seal.

Ground Nests, Wall Voids, and Other Special Cases

The hanging paper nest is the easy case. The two nests that generate most Canadian sting incidents need their own handling:

Ground-nesting yellowjackets — the colony living down a hole in the lawn or under a shed slab — are meaner, bigger than they look, and often have a second exit. Expanding foam into the burrow at dusk is the right DIY tool, but placement, timing, and knowing when to stop matter enough that we wrote a dedicated playbook: see our guide to getting rid of ground wasps in Canada.

Wall and roof voids deserve real caution. If wasps are entering a gap in siding or soffit and you have seen even one wasp inside the house, the colony may already be near the interior finish — spraying the entrance can push survivors inward. That specific scenario, plus any nest you cannot reach from the ground and any household member with a sting allergy, is where a licensed structural exterminator earns the fee. Typical single-nest treatment pricing across Canada is broken down in our pest control cost guide.

And remember that killing this nest is not wasp-proofing the yard. Nests you destroy in July were founded by queens in May; next spring brings new queens. Reducing attractants and intercepting foragers is a separate job — our guides to the best wasp traps in Canada and the best yellowjacket traps cover the trapping half, and the full-season strategy lives in how to get rid of wasps in Canada.

There is a third job no aerosol can does: protecting the space you actually sit in. A can ends a nest and a trap pulls foragers toward the fence line, but neither puts anything between a scavenging yellowjacket and the plate in front of you — mesh does, and because wasps are far larger than the midges screening is normally specified for, ordinary netting is enough. The low-commitment version is a pop-up screen house pitched over the table, compared by size and frame in our screen tent and screen house guide. If eating outside is a permanent fixture rather than a few August weekends, it is the zip-around mesh curtains and not the roof that keep insects out, which is exactly the distinction our hardtop vs soft-top gazebo comparison makes before you spend the money on the wrong half of the structure.

Timing: Why July and August Nests Are a Different Animal

A wasp nest in late May is a golf ball with one queen and a handful of workers — a single foam treatment ends it in one evening with almost no risk. The same nest in mid-August is a football or bigger holding hundreds to thousands of workers with brood to defend, and late-season colonies get progressively more aggressive as natural food declines. The practical takeaways: treat nests as early in the season as you find them; expect a large August nest to need the full technique above and possibly a second application; and weigh the pro option more heavily as the season wears on. By late September in most of Canada, frost is weeks from solving the problem for free — a distant, high, out-of-the-way October nest can often simply be left to die, since abandoned nests are not reused next year.

What Not to Use

For completeness, the popular non-answers. Gasoline poured into ground nests contaminates soil, creates a fire risk, and is illegal pesticide use. Boiling water scalds the top of a burrow and enrages the surviving 90% of the colony. Dish-soap sprays kill the individual wasps they drench but leave no residual for returning foragers and force you within arm’s reach of the nest. WD-40 is a solvent myth with the same fatal flaws. Beyond being ineffective, applying any substance as a pesticide that is not registered for that use is itself contrary to the Pest Control Products Act — the same law that keeps the grey-market cans out. A registered foam can costs less than a pizza and does the job from metres away; there is no scenario where the improvised option is the smart one.

What Is the Best Spray to Kill Wasps?

It depends on what you are actually killing. For a nest, a foaming aerosol that plugs the entrance and leaves residual behind is the right answer. For loose wasps working a patio, deck or pool, a fast-knockdown aerosol kills the ones it hits — but they keep arriving until you find and treat the nest they came from.

That distinction is the one most buying guides skip, and it is why people feel a can “did not work.” A wasp aerosol has two completely different jobs. Colony work is a single application at dusk against a structure you can see, and it ends the problem. Forager work is spraying individual scavengers that fly in from a nest that might be four houses away — and no aerosol solves that, because you are killing a replenishing stream rather than a population. If you are emptying a can a week around a picnic table, you do not have a spray problem, you have an unlocated nest or a food-source problem.

For forager pressure specifically, the levers that work are interception and exclusion rather than contact spray: bait traps hung at the property line to pull scavengers away from the seating area (our wasp trap comparison and yellowjacket trap guide cover placement, which matters more than brand), lidded bins, covered drinks and cans, and mesh over the space you actually sit in. A contact aerosol is the wrong instrument for a yard-wide problem and the right one for a nest.

One scenario deserves naming because it comes up constantly and is genuinely urgent: heavy wasp activity around a pool or play area with an allergic child in the household. That is not a shopping decision. The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology advises that anyone who has had a systemic reaction to an insect sting — hives away from the sting site, swelling of the face or throat, or any breathing difficulty — carry epinephrine and be evaluated by an allergist about venom immunotherapy. In that household, the nest gets located and removed by a licensed applicator, and nobody stands under it with an aerosol can.

What Do Professional Exterminators Use for Wasps?

Not the consumer can. The professional kit is three classes the retail aisle does not stock: freeze aerosols for instant knockdown on exposed aerial nests, insecticidal dusts for wall voids and ground burrows, and residual liquid concentrates mixed and sprayed to stop queens rebuilding. Reach, residual and placement — not raw toxicity — are what separate them from a hardware-store can.

Freeze aerosols are the ones you see in technician videos. PT Wasp-Freeze II throws roughly 15 feet and drops the nest surface temperature hard enough that defenders fall rather than fly, which is the whole point: a foam can knocks wasps down over seconds, and seconds are long enough for a large colony to launch. Freeze products are also formulated with high dielectric strength, which is why they live on the truck — a great many nests sit on meter boxes, service masts and outdoor light fixtures, and a technician cannot pick which of those a job will involve.

Dusts are the class that most changes outcomes, and almost no consumer roundup covers them. Delta Dust (deltamethrin) is waterproof and rated for use in food-handling areas; Tempo Dust (cyfluthrin 1%) delivers contact kill plus up to about a year of residual. Both are puffed into a void, a burrow or a wall cavity with a bulb duster or a telescoping extension pole. The reason dust beats foam underground and inside a wall is mechanical: foam wets out, collapses and stops a few centimetres in, while dry particles drift through the cavity, coat the surfaces wasps must walk over, and stay lethal after the moisture is gone. One Canadian caveat: neither Delta Dust nor Tempo Dust appears in the Health Canada pesticide label database, so both are US-market products rather than commercial-class Canadian ones. If your nest is inside something, dust is what the professional reaches for — the format and its safe use are covered in our wasp dust guide.

Residual concentrates — Suspend (deltamethrin), Demand CS (lambda-cyhalothrin, microencapsulated), Tempo (cyfluthrin), Stryker — are diluted into a pump or backpack sprayer and applied to eaves, soffits, fascia and rail undersides. This is the only product class that addresses next month rather than tonight, because a treated soffit is a surface a founding queen will not successfully build on.

The professional wasp kit, class by class

The honest conclusion for a homeowner: for a reachable nest with a visible entrance, the consumer foam does the same job the professional freeze can does, just a few seconds slower. The professional advantage is not chemistry, it is the dust, the extension pole, and the willingness to work at height — which is exactly the boundary where you should stop and call one.

How to Permanently Get Rid of Wasps

There is no permanent wasp spray. The nest you kill in August was founded by a queen in May, and next May brings new ones. Permanence comes from four things done in order: intercept founding queens in spring, seal entry points after winter die-off, remove the food that draws scavengers, and put a residual on the surfaces queens prefer to build on.

1. Intercept the queens, in April and May. A founding nest is the size of a golf ball and holds exactly one insect — the overwintered queen, who is doing all the building and foraging herself. Killing that nest costs a two-second squirt and no risk, and it prevents the thousand-worker colony it becomes. Walk your eaves, soffits, deck rail undersides, shed corners, playset joints, grill covers and patio-umbrella folds every week or two in spring. This single habit removes more late-summer wasp problems than any product decision.

2. Seal after die-off, never during. Every gap in soffit, siding, fascia, brick weep or vent screen is a future void nest. Sealing them is the durable fix — but the timing is not optional. Seal in late winter or very early spring, once the colony is dead and before new queens are prospecting. Sealing a live nest in is the classic disaster: trapped yellowjackets chew laterally and emerge through the drywall on the inside of the house. Also worth knowing so you do not waste effort: abandoned nests are not reused the following year, so removing an old grey football is purely cosmetic. The cavity is what gets reused, not the paper.

3. Take away the late-season food. From August onward yellowjackets stop hunting insects and start scavenging protein and sugar, which is why they suddenly want your food. Lidded bins rinsed occasionally, fallen fruit picked up, pet food indoors, recycling rinsed, cans and glasses covered outdoors, and compost turned under rather than left exposed. This is unglamorous and it works better than anything you can buy.

4. Residual on the build surfaces. The only genuine multi-week lever is a residual applied to eaves, soffits and rail undersides in spring, so a prospecting queen cannot establish. In the United States homeowners can buy the concentrates above from pest-control supply retailers; in Canada that class is largely restricted to certified applicators, so the practical homeowner version is a domestic-class residual or an annual spring service visit.

One regional exception matters: in mild-winter parts of the southern United States, yellowjacket colonies can survive the winter instead of dying off, producing perennial multi-year nests. Where that happens, “wait for winter, then seal” fails, and the sequence above has to start with professional removal rather than a calendar.

Why Does WD-40 Kill Wasps?

Because it is a petroleum distillate, not because it is an insecticide. The oil film coats and clogs the spiracles — the paired breathing openings along an insect’s abdomen — and strips the waxy cuticle layer that holds water in. The wasp dies of suffocation and desiccation over minutes, rather than the seconds-fast neurotoxic knockdown a registered pyrethroid produces.

So the folk claim is mechanically true, which is why it will not die on the internet. It is still the wrong tool, for four specific reasons rather than a general sneer:

• No residual. The foragers out hunting when you spray come home overnight and land on an untreated entrance. An oil film is not an insecticidal deposit; it kills only what it wets.
• It forces you close. A lubricant aerosol has a short, low-volume throw. Delivering enough of it to matter means standing within a couple of metres of a defending colony, which is the single most dangerous variable in this whole subject.
• It is flammable. People aim it at nests tucked beside light fixtures, junction boxes and grills. That is a fire and an electrical hazard at the same time, and it carries no dielectric rating.
• It is not legal pesticide use. Applying any substance as a pesticide when it is not registered for that use violates FIFRA in the United States, exactly as it violates the Pest Control Products Act in Canada. This is the same rule in both countries, and it is the same rule that keeps unregistered cans off Canadian shelves.

The dish-soap recipe that circulates as short video works by the same physics and fails the same way: surfactant lets water wet through the cuticle, drowning the individual wasps it soaks, while doing nothing about the brood, the queen or the foragers. A tablespoon of dish soap in a spray bottle is a fine tool for one wasp on a windowsill. It is not a treatment for a colony, and a registered can costs less than the ingredients.

Wasp Spray Rules in the United States: What the EPA Number Means

Everything above about PCP numbers has an exact American counterpart, and readers on either side of the border should know both — because the products, the shelves and the law all change at the line.

In the United States, pesticides are regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). Every legal can carries an EPA Registration Number on the label — a two- or three-part number such as 1021-1613 or 1021-1852, where the first block identifies the registrant and the second the specific product. 40 CFR Part 156 even governs how it must appear: in type of similar size and style to the surrounding print, running parallel to it, so it cannot be buried. That number means the EPA reviewed and approved the exact formulation and the exact label directions, and the directions are legally binding — the label is the law, precisely as it is in Canada.

States add a second layer. Individual states may impose restrictions beyond the federal label — limiting use at sensitive sites, or barring a below-label application rate that FIFRA section 2(ee) would otherwise permit — but a state may not authorise anything the federal label prohibits. “Check your state” is real advice in the US in a way it is not in Canada, where the PMRA registration is national.

So Spectracide, Hot Shot and the US Raid line are entirely legal products — in the United States. They are EPA-registered, sold at Home Depot, Lowe’s, Walmart, Ace Hardware and grocery chains, and an American reader should buy them without hesitation. The restriction described earlier on this page is directional, not a judgement about quality: an EPA can is not registered for Canada, and a PMRA can is equally not registered for the United States. Both statements are true at once, and they are the same rule seen from two driveways.

Wasp, Hornet or Yellowjacket? Identify It Before You Buy a Can

Format advice is worthless if the nest is not the kind you think it is, and one very common North American nest breaks the central rule of this guide. Here is what you are actually looking at.

Polistes paper wasps build an open umbrella comb — bare hexagonal cells on a short stalk, no paper envelope, no entrance hole. That last point matters enormously: the “plug the entrance with foam” technique that defines this page has nothing to plug on a Polistes comb. Instead you saturate the comb face and the adults sitting on it directly, from the underside upward, at dusk. The good news is that these colonies are small — often under fifty insects — and comparatively slow to defend, so a single thorough treatment ends it and format matters far less than on an enclosed nest.

Yellowjackets (Vespula) are the enclosed-nest, single-entrance, hundreds-to-thousands species this guide is otherwise built around, and the scavengers that show up at food. In the eastern United States and eastern Canada the common species are the German yellowjacket (V. germanica) and the eastern yellowjacket (V. maculifrons); in the west, the western yellowjacket (V. pensylvanica). Practically they behave the same: defended entrance, aggressive from August, ground or void nesting.

Bald-faced hornets (Dolichovespula maculata) build the grey aerial football people photograph and post — black and white, high in a tree or under a soffit, exposed. Despite the name they are genetically yellowjackets, not true hornets. They are also the most defensive nest in the average yard and the one most likely to be out of safe ground reach, which makes them the classic call-a-professional nest.

Cicada killers are the enormous solitary wasps that alarm American homeowners every July. Females dig burrows in bare sandy soil or lawn edges, and while they look like something out of a monster film, males cannot sting at all and females almost never do unless handled. Do not spray them. They are solitary, they do not defend a colony, and they disappear on their own in weeks.

Mud daubers build the small tubular mud pipes on walls and under eaves. They are solitary, essentially non-aggressive, and they hunt spiders — a beneficial insect doing free pest control. Scrape the tubes off if you dislike them; do not empty a can at them.

The northern giant hornet (Vespa mandarinia), the “murder hornet” of 2020 headlines, was declared eradicated from Washington State and the United States by the Washington State Department of Agriculture and the USDA on 18 December 2024, after three years with no confirmed detections. It was found in Whatcom County in 2019 and four nests were destroyed in 2020–21. If you are staring at a very large hornet in a US or Canadian yard, it is a European hornet, a bald-faced hornet, or a cicada killer.

When Wasps Peak: Regional Timing Across North America

The seasonal advice earlier on this page is written for Canada, where frost reliably ends the problem. Below the northern tier that assumption breaks, so here is the same calendar for the rest of the continent.

The trigger everywhere is soil temperature, not the date: overwintered queens emerge when soil warms to roughly 50°F (10°C). That is late March to April in the Mid-Atlantic, with the first workers on the wing by May, colonies expanding through June, and peak size from July into September. Aggression peaks in August and September continent-wide, because that is when colony size is at maximum and the insect prey feeding the larvae is collapsing — which is also when foragers switch to scavenging your food.

In Canada and the northern United States, the first hard frosts in October end it. Everything but the new queens dies, nests are abandoned, and they are not reoccupied the following season.

Across the southern United States, wasps are active from March into November. Yellowjackets commonly stay on the wing from September well into early December. In south Florida some Polistes nests persist year-round with no true die-off, and in mild winters southern yellowjacket colonies can survive to become perennial multi-year nests — the enormous ones that make regional news, and the reason “just wait for winter” is bad advice on the Gulf Coast.

Every Wasp Spray Format, With the Actives Named

The foam-versus-jet split earlier covers the two formats on a Canadian consumer shelf. Across North America there are six, and knowing which one you need is more useful than knowing which brand. Actives are the pyrethroid family in almost every case — fast on contact, low mammalian toxicity at label rates, short-lived outdoors.

The pattern worth internalising: the format is chosen by where the nest is, not by how big the wasps are. Exposed and reachable, use foam. Exposed and high, use a jet or freeze. Inside a wall or underground, use dust. Trying to prevent next year, use a concentrate. A jet aimed into a void wets the first few centimetres and accomplishes very little, which is the most common way a competent homeowner still fails.

How Far Wasp Spray Actually Reaches

The distance printed on the can is the number that sells it, and it is measured in conditions you will never reproduce: a full, warm, freshly-shaken can, fired horizontally in still air. Against a real nest, on a real evening, plan on usable reach landing well short of the printed claim — treat roughly 30 to 40 percent short as a working margin rather than a tested figure.

Three things eat the difference. Aerosol pressure falls with temperature, so a can that sat in an unheated garage before a cool September dusk sprays visibly shorter. Any breeze breaks up the far end of a jet, which is exactly the part you were relying on. And a stream only stays coherent for part of its flight — past that point it becomes drift that will not deliver a lethal dose to a nest surface. Plan on the realistic column below, not the label.

This reframes the 27-foot argument on ground that works in both countries. Forget jurisdiction for a moment: a 27-foot can is a 16-to-19-foot tool, and a typical two-storey soffit is 18 to 22 feet up from where you would be standing. The number that sold you the can does not actually put you outside the nest’s response radius. Buy for measured reach, and keep the rule that outranks every product decision — if you cannot hit it from the ground with distance to spare, it is a professional’s nest.

The dielectric footnote nobody publishes. A surprising share of nests sit on or beside electrical equipment — meter boxes, service masts, floodlights, junction boxes. Some wasp aerosols are formulated to be electrically non-conducting and state a rating on the label: SC Johnson rates the Canadian Raid Wasp & Hornet can electrically non-conducting up to 41,000 volts (the US Raid Wasp & Hornet Killer 33 label states 32,500 volts), and BASF states PT Wasp-Freeze II shows no breakdown up to 49,300 volts, which is why it is a truck staple. A can with no dielectric statement should never be aimed at energised equipment. Kill the circuit at the breaker where you can, never spray into an open panel or meter enclosure, and hand anything touching the service drop to an electrician.

Where to Buy Wasp Spray in the United States and Canada

In the United States, consumer wasp aerosols are stocked by Home Depot, Lowe’s, Walmart, Ace Hardware, Tractor Supply and most grocery chains, typically in the range of about $5 to $12 a can with twin-packs cheaper per unit — genuinely trivial money against the cost of a service call. The more useful American advantage is the professional channel, which sells to the public: DoMyOwn, e-commerce pest-control supply houses and regional walk-in supply counters carry the freeze aerosols, dusts and concentrates described above. Expect a freeze aerosol in the mid-teens to mid-twenties, a bottle of dust in the twenties to forties that will outlast several seasons, and a concentrate in the forties to nineties that makes many gallons of finished spray. For a homeowner with a recurring void or ground-nest problem, one bottle of dust and a bulb duster is the single highest-value purchase in this entire category.

In Canada, the shelves are Canadian Tire, Home Depot Canada, Rona, Home Hardware and independent hardware stores, at roughly $8 to $18 a can. The professional tier is the real difference, and it is a harder line than most guides admit: PT Wasp-Freeze, Delta Dust and Tempo Dust return no records at all in the Health Canada pesticide label database, so those specific US products are not legal to sell or use in Canada, while the Canadian equivalents that do exist — Demand CS (PCP 27428), Tempo 20 WP (PCP 25673) — are commercial-class and sold only to certified applicators. That is why the Canadian homeowner playbook leans harder on foam and on hiring out the void and height work. If you are comparing the broader category rather than nest sprays specifically, our wasp killer comparison and ground wasp guide cover the adjacent formats.

One buying note that applies in both countries and saves a genuinely bad evening: buy two cans, not one. Running out mid-application on a large nest is the situation that produces stings, because the reflex is to move closer rather than to walk away. A spare can costs less than a takeaway coffee and removes that decision entirely.
