Bug Spray on a Pole

by Steve

Gotcha SprayerThe Gotcha Sprayer allows you to put a can of bug spray at the end of a long pole, and kill the little creepy crawlies from a safe distance.

It's probably best used for spraying wasps nests.

I remember having to crawl up on my roof to kill a colony of wasps. They were flying all over my house and yard, and they were building more nests. I had to do something. I bought some spray, and read the instructions. It said to wait until morning, while the wasps were docile.

So, I waited for sunrise, and crawled up there just as the sun starting peeking over the horizon. I made a practice attempt at walking as fast as I could to the ladder in case I needed to make a break for it. Then I gave them a good dowsing, and kept on spraying as long as they weren't flying. They dropped out of the nest as soon as the spray hit 'em.

Even their pupae fell out of the nest. I saw some of the tougher wasps trying to pick up a pupae and carry it off to safety. It was a sad day for them. I could hear Samuel Barber's "Adagio for Strings" playing in the distance. I kept telling myself, "Yeah, I got 'em! I got 'em!", just to keep myself from feeling bad.

Well, I guess this extension pole will let you kill a stinging squadron of buggers without having to witness the aftermath.
