The one thing that comes to mind when I used this product for the first time was, "You almost Got it"
I think the idea is great, but this product falls short of actually working correctly on it own. I had to add some additional home made parts to make this product work.
Basically when you put the spray can in the device and then pull on the string, the can slips in the holder and the sprayer level never makes good enough contact with the spray button on the can for it to spray. What I did to solve this problem was to first secure the can to the can holder part of the device. That worked better, but I then had an additional problem. The additional problem was that the can holder is so thin and flimsy that it would bend under the pressure of pulling the string. So to fix this problem, I took a small piece of wood and taped it to the back of the can holder and to the poll the device was on, This kept the holder from bending. With both of these modifications, I was able to use the product. But it was far from working as well as the commercials show.
So my advice is this, if you need this product to use once or twice and you have the ability to modify it to work correctly, it is worth the 10 bucks. But if you need a completely working solution, better call a professional or look for another product.

I was looking for a solution to address some bee and wasp nests under our eaves, but without dragging out a ladder and ending up covered in spray residual. This inexpensive item really does the trick! Construction is of satisfactory quality (not flimsy, but not like steel, either). It easily fits the oversized cans of bee spray sold at most home centers and snugly threads on to any extension pole with a male threaded adapter. The thin string provided for remotely pulling the trigger is serviceable, but can be easily replaced with something more substantial.

The key, I found, was to making sure the can was not inserted to tightly to the top trigger actuator. The trigger actuator needs a bit of space to be able to press down fully on the spray button. Be sure to test it on the ground. With it installed and tested, I was able to extend my reach 16 feet with my extender pole. This, plus the 10 - 12 foot reach of the spray allowed me to get all but one of the eave nests I was aiming for. The one I couldn't get is up well over 30 feet, so I'll need to break down and get the ladder out. AT least it can be a shorter ladder than without the Spray Extender!

A really clever product at a reasonable price that works well.

We recently built a home with a beautiful wooded lot. The downside is that lots of "critters" like our house too! We have a major problem with wasps and yellowjacket nests under the eaves of our house. My husband travels on business and I end up doing alot of the house chores. I have tried reaching the nests with sprays that claim to reach marathon distances only to have them fall just a few feet short of my target. I have also tried extension ladders...but I almost had an accident falling off when the angry wasps decided to bomb me before I could get down. This is why I was excited to find this gadget on Amazon. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to use and it fit perfectly on an extension pole I already had. I am only 5'2" and this thing is a life saver! I have even used this to spray a bat that decided to roost in the gables above my front porch. I found this to be much safer and more humane than the bb gun alternative I was considering! I have already used this item several times since purchasing it and assume this summer will get lots more use. I highly recommend this product.

This extender is absolutely worthless unless your spray can requires almost no pressure to depress the spray button. If any pressure other than a very, very light pressing action is needed to activate the spray then the very cheaply weak plastic extender's structure bends and unable to press down and release the spray.

I tried to use this extender with EcoSmart Wasp & Hornet Spray and it was a joke. Save you money and find a better extender that actually works.

Really no complaints! I read the reviews but since I have extender poles decided the price was too good and just got the spay attachment. This is a great deal!

Since I am older I don't feel really safe getting up on an extension ladder. With this product and a long extension pole I can reach a lot of places on the underside of my roof that would normally require an extension ladder. This sparyer just fits the bill. It fits several different size spray cans so can use spray paint or a larger can of wasp spray. Great product.

I purchased this product to reach a nest that is built at the peak of my roof and it really helped. The sprays seem to not go as far as I need and this product, the spray close spray extender, allowed a blast of spray to hit right on the wasp nest.

I also like how it adjusts to hold other cans - I also used it to spray non-stick coating on my satelite dish to prevent icing!

When I found this, Amazon stated that others also bought Wasp-Freeze brand wasp and bee spray along with the Spray Close 6001. Beware, the can of Wasp-Freeze is too long to fit in that contraption. The can is 2 inches longer than a standard can of wasp/hornet spray. You will need to use duct tape or something to keep the can from moving, but it could take several tries, peeling off the tape and retaping, before you get it to optimally release the spray. It was a real hassle. I imagine it works fine with regular cans.

Love this product! It let me spray a wasps' next that was high above the ground, and set into the support of a building. The only direct line of sight would have put me right under the nest. Instead, I put the spray can in the extender at a 90 degree angle and took care of the next safely and easily.

Plus it attaches to standard extension poles (or your handy broom handle).

the spray extender is a wonderful product only if you don't have a can longer than 11in
