Wasp repellent.
This is excellent. I put some near a nest in my loft and by the next morning wasps stopped coming to the nest and never returned. A fantastic product, gorgeous smell and natural.Thanks for a fantastic product.

Done the job
Worked well as a repellent while I got rid of a wasps nest great if your eating outside just spray around table & canopy area and does keep insects at bay for a while smell is strong but not unpleasant

Good ingredients
It smells lovely. The tiny spray goes into my purse for whenever I’m out. I’ve filled an old window spray to sit by the garden table.

Strong smelling but not effective at deterring wasps
My use:I got this for using against wasps that have taken up home in the roof (made from pot pan tiles) of an outbuilding I use.After just having some roof work completed I didn't like the idea of having to get pest control in to then move all the tiles and try and work out where the wasp nest was.Scent:The scent is strong and although I diluted it, I left it stronger than recommended to try and get rid of the wasps extra quick. I quite like the scent as it is fresh and citronella is easily notable, therefore if you have to spray it in close proximity it's fine (unless you don't like citronella).Effectiveness:I'd observed where the wasps were coming in and out of and not only sprayed it directly on the tiles and in the gaps where they were coming in and out of, but I also sprayed it on some cotton wool balls so they were soaked and popped them in the gaps under tiles. This way even if the other solution was washed off with rain, the scent would remain.I have seen no effect on the wasps whatsoever and the most effective my spray bottle has been is when I used it to hit and kill a wasp directly. (It's worth noting that I didn't use the tiny atomiser bottle that comes with the product but that I used a washed out glass cleaner sprayer).Value:The scent is as strong smelling as they claim and therefore you do get a few dilute spray bottles worth, however, I found it ineffective. Maybe if it were sprayed in areas wasps had been in the past it would prevent them from resettling, but once a queen has taken nest I think it's unlikely this will dissuade her and the drones.I might try spray this around my studio to try and make it less appealing to mice (as they apparently have a strong sense of smell), although to date extra strong garlic powder hasn't worked (most likely because they have young in a nest so won't abandon them).Alternatives:I also tried foam wasp killer spray which does kill the wasps but is expensive. Also the foam disappears quite quickly so unless a whole load of wasps come out and touch it it's going to have a limited effect.What worked better is high-vis wasp killing traps filled with a paste of jam, diluted in hot water and white vinegar. The traps were full of wasps and trapped and killed a lot more in a short and longer space of time than anything else.Also for anyone thinking it's better not to kill them as they are pollinators, so are other insects like bees that the wasps kill to feed to their young. When using white vinegar in traps it only attracts wasps, hornet and flies. I've not had a single bee in any of the traps.*** If you've found this review helpful, please click 'like' and check out my other related reviews. ***

Tells the bees to buzz off!
The media could not be loaded. Absolutely fantastic product, the results speak for themselves! We had a swarm nest in our chimney, but after spraying the entry points liberally with this (fired from a powerful water pistol), the very next day the queen evacuated into a nearby tree, then left the area completely. The cost of getting the bees removed professionally was eye watering, this was a simple, safe and ecologically sound way to send them packing!

It does the opposite!
This does the opposite!!Since spraying it, more wasps have come, and are attracted to the area I’ve sprayed.You can literally see them flying to crawl over it.Waste of money
