Kerminate wasp nests safely
Created by a professional pest controller with over 20 years’ experience, the Kerminator Wasp Lance is a reusable wasp nest treatment device that bridges the gap between current DIY options, and the application devices professionals use out in the field. The lance accurately discharges a measured dose of insecticide into the entrance of a wasp nest, from a safe distance, at speed and in one shot. Treatment is completed before the wasps realise that their nest is under attack, which for the user, also allows for a much calmer exit strategy. Key features include extendable carbon fibre poles, flexible end tube and pre-filled cartridges of insecticide.
The Kerminator has extendable, carbon fibre poles that put a safe, two to three metre distance between the user and nest during treatment, whilst the flexible end tube allows users to accurately target the entrance of a nest from any angle.

The lance is reusable, lightweight, strong and built to last. Most wasp nests in residential

This product appeals to consumers who understand the limitations of current DIY products, the excess spillage of toxic insecticide on roof tiles and the ground underneath treatment areas, and the cost of regularly calling out
