■ Bee — Wasp — Hornet 



Killer 



Here is a safe method of get- 

 ting rid of these insects when 

 they become a problem. Look 

 for the nests where they congre- 

 gate. The nests may be in 

 devices, holes, cracks, under 

 rocks, eaves, trees, outbuildings, 

 etc. Move back as far as possible 

 and direct the jet-stream into the 

 nests. Those insects hit di- 

 rectly with spray will fall to the 

 ground shortly. Since the 12- 

 foot jet-stream is residual, the 

 insects that come in contact 



with it will die soon afterward. 14-oz.
