Gotcha Sprayer Pro

I tried a cheaper unit from another manufacturer that simply did not work. When you pulled the rope the can pushed down. This unit cost more but it works! It holds the can firm when you twist the strap. Super easy to use . . . super effective. I used the adjustment to aim the head upwards and with the extension rod I have I can hit around 25 feet up. Works great! Buy it. I made the mistake and bought the cheap version. I tried duct tape and other make shifts but it was junk. Never got it to work. Save your money. Buy this one.

I used standard paint roller extension poles and they fit perfectly. To keep the line from tangling I used twist ties to keep the line from wrapping around the pole. Tape down the opposite side of the twist tie so it doesn't move. I used a 14 oz can of Flex Seal and it held the can firmly with no issues. Attaching the can to the sprayer was simple. I extended the pole up to 10 feet and all worked well. The can holder angle can be changed so you can spray without tilting the can too much. All and all it was easier than I thought and kept me from walking on a metal patio roof.

I was a bit hesitant about buying this. But thought what the heck, I'll try it out. To my amazement it works really good. It screwed right onto a painters pole, I got the can mounted up to it and ran the string down to the end. I was able to spray paint the roof on my metal shed with a lot better results than what I was initially planning. The only thing I will say which has nothing to do with this product, is when you're painting with spray can stuck out on a stick 10 feet away, don't expect professional results, at least if I'm doing the work. Outside of my personal skill set in painting this product work really well, I'm glad I bought it.

This product worked well for me. I have an extendable metal window cleaning tool, so unscrewed the squeegee from that and it fit the product. By the time it is extended 15 ft up or so, the spray can feels a little heavy and unwieldy, but it worked. A word of advice--use gloves, as some of the spray can run down the pole. Saved me the time of calling someone out and listening to a pitch about the necessity of paying some monthly amount for years to come to keep on top of various pests that I don't have. Couldn't get a straight answer on the phone for the price to remove a wasp nest, so I just paid for this and did it myself. Thumbs up!

I received this device a few days ago. I used it for the first time today. I followed the instructions precisely and placed it on the end of my 17.5 feet long extension pole. It completely eliminates the need for my extension ladder! Durability? We'll see. I absolutely love this thing. I used it to spray the small gap into my upper siding where yellow-jackets were entering and going into my attic. I'm thrilled something this useful and simple exists! It's a product that's made my life measurably better. Thank God this happens once in a while! I'm a licensed civil engineer. A BIG thank you to the creative, thoughtful person who designed it! Simple, effective, and VERY useful. It may actually save lives by preventing unnecessary ladder use.

Just used this device for the first time. I have wasps that build in the eaves where it forms a V, some 35 feet away up a steep roofing section. I ordered the extension pole and Gotcha Sprayer. Very easy to set up and use (yes, please read and follow the instructions). I used Spectracide Wasp and Hornet killer with 27' of range (not really--if there's any wind at all it's more like 20'), hooked it up to the Gotcha, ran the pole in the V of the gutter at full extension of the cord (17' I believe) and got within about 15' of the nest and nailed it. Highly recommend the Gotcha--well made in the USA, and it works like the big dawg! --Steve b.

Just got mine today and it works great. I tried 2 random extension poles (Rubbermaid and Quickie) and it threaded on perfectly. No trouble tightening the strap to hold the can in, though you do have to turn the knob with moderate hand pressure to hold the can securely - I can see that someone with poor hand strength or arthritis might have trouble. Some people have had problems getting the device to spray without the can moving down in the holder. The above point may help with that. I also suspect that it helps to insert that can in as far as it will go (as shown in the picture) so that the lever is up as high as possible - this will provide an optimal fulcrum and decrease the pull force needed to actuate the sprayer.

My wife and I were able to get rid of a scary large hornet's nest under the eve of our shed over 3 nights of spraying with this adapter and a painters pole with extension. I highly recommend this adapter, and it saved us from calling a pest control company and paying hundreds of dollars. I made a 6" straw that fit over the nozzle of the hornet spray can and was able to get the spray in the hornet's nest hole with very little difficulty. I filled the nest full of foaming spray in 5-6 seconds. It worked great! I think the hornets were done after the first night, but we sprayed 2 more nights just to make sure. On the fourth day we brought the nest down with a power washer. Yes, they were all dead.

Area to be sprayed was roof section overhung by slightly higher roof at leaving +/-6 inches clearance. Distance from my hand to target about 10 feet. Adjusted the turn screws to angle the spray head and sprayed aerosol of Lasttseal liquid spray to seal leak. Now, I even managed to fit an aerosol can of Great Stuff foam to overspray the area just to make sure wind driven rain would not get into cracks I might have missed.. Spray foam cans have a trigger top which is not suited to the Gotcha device. Solved the issue by snugging the plastic can fitting to the top of the Gotcha trigger until it was perfectly aligned with 1/16 in. between Gotcha the trigger and spray can.

Noticed some wasps on an upper story eave. Didn't want to be on the rooftop or on a ladder when we sprayed them (because they will swarm) so went looking for a solution on the internet. This product fit the bill. There was another that was cheaper but had more iffy reviews so purchased the Gotcha Pro.

Worked like a charm. Attached the Gotcha to a paint extension pole, and two applications later the wasps were gone.

Worth $30 when you consider what a trip to the ER would cost instead.

Earlier this year, I had a hornet's nest attached to the power drop on our home. In order to reach it (though aerosol cans state "can spray up to 25'), I had to use a ladder to get on a lower roof to be able to spray the nest. Last week, I found a second nest about 20 to 25 feet up in an oak tree. It got me thinking about whether there might be an adapter tool that would hold the spray can atop an extension pole.
I did a quick search on the Internet and found several versions.
I'm very pleased with this model as the cost was right and there were several helpful features on the adapter that made it customizable to different situations.
I used it to spray 3 cans of wasp and hornet spray and easily destroyed the nest. I already had an expandable aluminum pole that I've used for window washing and other jobs and this adapter easily screwed to the end of that pole.
I recommend this, wish I had it earlier, and know it will come in handy in the future.

One of the best features is being able to angle the pole relative to the can, as aerosols spray best when upright.
I've now got the wasps under control, and realize that with this gadget I don't need to buy the "20-foot spray can" for wasps--I can use less toxic products in the future. Also, the long-distance wasp spray can lasted only about 15 seconds. Regular spray cans last longer, so in the long run, this will pay for itself. Anything in a spray can will work with this gadget.

After reading about can potentially slipping, I wrapped can in a bit of non-skid shelf liner before tightening, which worked. Also, a camping headlamp helped me see, as I was spraying high up at night (when wasps are quiet). A disposable face respirator (from painting supplies) eliminates breathing the spray.
