Gotcha Sprayer Pro

This worked out really well for spraying a wasp nest high up on our house. I didn't have the problem the other reviewers had with the can slipping. It has quite a bit of tension. it does seem like this design could have been a little better to prevent it from slipping, but it wasn't an issue in practice.

My father-in-law ended up using the wasp spray directly w/o the elevated spray attachment (my first pass didn't kill them all) and he got wasp spray all over our house and had to clean it off. When I used the elevated spray attachment I was able to be much more accurate and sprayed exactly where I wanted to.

After previously removing another nest using ladders, hoses, and a shovel, I decided to take a chance on a second nest using something that promised to be much safer, cheaper, and more effective. With a bee suit (found on Amazon for $22) and Acme-threaded, 20’ extension pole (from retail hardware store), I quickly installed this product, inserted can of wasp spray, and went to work (best performed as a night time operation to ensure wasps are inactive). The product worked better than hoped, allowing me to fully and completely soak the hornet’s nest under the eave of my roof. When first spray can finished, I calmly lowered the pole, changed cans, and gave it a second dose. I completely covered the nest with a controlled spray, actuated by the lever attached to the pull-cord (included). Nothing fancy, but extremely simple and effective. It even has a locking hinge to optimize spray angle. Given the price of wasp removal in Northern Virginia, I reckon I just saved $300. Thanks!!

This was easy to install on my existing pole I use for washing windows. The Ortho Wasp Spray fit perfectly and was held neatly in place, although I added a piece of duct tape to secure it. I have a roof that is almost 40 feet above ground and the hornets built a large nest under the eves, which means I had to attach this to a pole and also climb a later to the first story. I extended the string with some parachute cord and my wife was able to activate it from the ground while I held the pole and it worked perfectly. A very clever and useful item - a good buy.

This is a great little invention. Simply attach this device to the end of a pole, mount your spray can in it and you're off and running. I purchased this to get a can of wasp spray up 30 ft in the air to take care of business. Now, you must understand that I'm wildly allergic to bee and wasp venom. I don't want to get stung by any means. Using my new pole mounted death spray and some serious concentration, I was able to soak those wasps pretty well until I decided to drop everything and run like heck. The entire apparatus fell and hit the ground without suffering any damage. I was impressed! The sprayer holds the can securely and it includes plenty of string to mount this to a very long pole.

Setup took 5 min or less. Attached to a 30-foot pole. Screwed on like a brush or paint roller. sprayed the 2nd-floor area with pinpoint accuracy. I used wire ties on the pole to keep the string tied to the pole. It does not come with wire ties. No big deal, I have lots of them.

Used this with the bellows duster to enable me to spray Delta dust in an active Carpenter Bee hole in the eave of my 2 story home, from only about 10' high, as my ladder would not come close to reaching the 24' I needed to get to it. I already had a telescoping extension pole for painting ceilings with a roller, so I did not need to buy one of those. Solved the Carpenter bee issue in one day.

I had a wasp problem. Had is the key word. I had my doubts when this arrived but the Gotcha Sprayer really works. Super easy to use. Place your wasp spray in and secure it with the strap. Attach a pole, I used an expandable metal pole I use for painting. Go out at dusk when they are all back in the nest and pull the string and spray. This works really well due to the Gotcha Sprayer can be angled and it easily gets all the way up to the eaves on the 2nd floor of my home. I used this also on a hornet nest in my Maple tree. No more nests !! No more wasps flying around the front of my home! I highly recommend it!!

Amazing invention which aided my invention for painting in the dead center of huge walls and making people wonder how. It angles but then the draw string doesn't work as great so that's just something I have yet to really investigate further for a woek around but I think it can be done and for flat vertical surfaces no problems at all.

Great product! I tried spraying a hornets nest in the eve of my home and the 20’ stream from the can at ground level couldn’t reach it.

I purchased this aerosol can holder and rigged it to the end of my telescoping tree trimming pole which gave me plenty of reach to spray the hornets nest.

Quality, made in America plastic holder and securely holds the spray can. I was able to angle the holder just right to spray and the string was easy to pull to make the spray come out.

Works great! Super easy to sufficiently tighten the spray can with the clever black twist nut component, and even though the instructions didn't explain how, it was simple to change the angle of the can/spray with the silver nut at the base hinge point. Minimal effort required to dispense the spectricide spray can by pulling the string, even at the end of a 16 ft aluminum pole. Definitely worth the $30+ to not have to play the precarious rush-down-the-tall-ladder-and-bolt-for-it game to avoid overspray or getting stung after spraying the highest wasp nests.

I used this to spray hornet nests under the tiles at the edge of the roofline, which is 20' high some places. Although pretty much made of all plastic, it feels reasonably solid. It's easy to add and remove the spray can, adjust the angle of the can, and then spray. You will need to supply the pole the device attaches to.

One bit of advice if you are spraying wasps or hornets. Don't use the hornet spray with a 25' range. Since you'll be getting up close to the nest with this device, this type of spray ends up spraying way to much and in too narrow of a stream. You'll drain the can in about 15 seconds. Instead grab something with a 5' range. It probably won't mentioned being for hornets (because they don't want you getting withing 5' of hornets nest) but should work fine for killing them. I used the Black Flag Spider and Scorpion Killer. Contained the same active ingredient as the 25' hornet spray I had been using.

I had my doubts about this product but they were proved wrong. I have a metal roof which is about 25 feet high. It would be no fun to climb a ladder, spray a wasp nest, and try to get back down before the wasps come after me.
I used a window cleaning extension pole and the device fitted perfectly. I had taken the device to the store to buy the wasp killer to make sure it fit. But after trying different cans I think any can would fit!
I shook the can well, lifted to the roof, and sprayed the wasps. It was that easy and worked great.
Note: try to picture the correct angle you need to adjust the device to. The first time I pulled the line I sprayed my windows, not the wasps.
