Yep, that stuff works extremely well. Shoots a good distance too.
The nest was inside the wall of my house and I could only get to the entrance hole they were going in and out of. I could not get to the actual nest. Other companies would not come out and kill them, they wanted to tear the siding off my house and remove the queen. I went through five friggin cans of wasp spray, used dish soap and water in a spray bottle, Murphy's Oil Soap in water, Ammonia and actually sprayed WD40 in the hole. It all worked till it dried up. Then they would come back cuz I couldn't get to the nest and kill the queen. I tried for two weeks to kill them or make them move and failed. So, ya, $250 and ten minutes and it was over. As far as the rodent problem goes, I used every store bought method to get rid of them, poison pellets, smoke bombs, granules of some sort that soak into the ground that make them move but non of that worked so I again had to have a professional come in and get the job done. But by the opinions that are shared by some of the members here about pest control and nuisance critter management, I should have charged them to destroy the wasp nest and tunneling rodents. After all, its my land and I have every right to charge somebody to help me.
OK you aint gonna believe it. I hate Yellow Jackets, This right here is sure fire and easy..... find the hole wait till night fix a paper bag with a couple spoons of seven dust in it tape the opening of the bag around the hole then tear a hole thumb size or a little larger in the bag.... Ha Ha the bees go in and out as usual and in a couple of days they all will be dead and you'll be happy. Its the best thing I've ever done to kill a nest of yellow jackets.
I know this is way off topic but very useful as the conversation turned.
