Athea 8401 Buzzsaw Wasp & Hornet Killer - Dual-Action Stinging Insect Aerosol
Buzzsaw Wasp & Hornet Killer is a colorless liquid EPA-registered insecticide aerosol formulation containing 0.20% tetramethrin, 0.125% phenothrin, petroleum distillate, carbon dioxide propellant with a 20-foot shotgun blast spray pattern that provides fast knockdown and kill of flying wasps, yellow jackets, hornets, and hornet nests both indoors and outdoors in attics, cracks, crevices, eaves, porches, patios, around electrical equipment, power lines, and window frames. The dual-action chemistry combines tetramethrin for rapid contact knockdown of flying insects on contact with complete kill occurring within seconds while phenothrin provides excellent long-lasting residual action preventing regrowth and reinfestation of treated nest areas. The high dielectric strength of 41,000 volts measured by ASTM test method D-877-87 makes this aerosol safe to use around electrical equipment, power lines, transformers, and electrical installations without risk of electrical damage or short-circuit hazards.
The 20-foot shotgun-type blast enables application from safe distances away from aggressive stinging insects reducing operator exposure to wasp and hornet attacks during nest treatment procedures and maintaining safe working distances from nests positioned high in trees, eaves, and difficult-to-reach locations. The colorless liquid formulation provides complete visibility of the spray stream enabling operators to confirm coverage on nest openings and ensure complete saturation of target nest structures. The solvent fragrance indicates active insecticide chemistry while the carbon dioxide propellant ensures consistent blast force throughout the entire container. The convenient aerosol format requires no mixing or dilution enabling rapid deployment in emergency situations requiring immediate nest elimination. The twelve-can case format provides convenient supply for pest control professionals, facility maintenance teams, parks and recreation departments, and homeowners requiring reliable stinging insect control throughout seasonal peak periods. The EPA registration number 10088-115-68562 provides regulatory compliance verification for use against wasp, yellow jacket, and hornet nest control in designated applications.
