Mastering Onslaught® PowerShot: Tips for Effective Stinging Insect Control

Protect Surfaces with a Non-Staining Solution

One of the most frequent concerns from homeowners during any insect treatment is damage to siding, decks, or other exterior surfaces. Onslaught PowerShot addresses this with a water-based formulation that won’t stain. For PMPs, this means fewer customer callbacks, no unsightly residue and less worry about insurance claims related to property damage.

Take Advantage of the Powerful Jet Spray

Onslaught PowerShot offers a jet spray that reaches nests from up to 20 feet away. This feature allows technicians to target stinging insects with precision while minimizing risk. The spray’s reach helps avoid the need to get close to active nests, providing an extra layer of protection during treatments.

In addition, PMPs have praised the straw attachment, which enhances precision. The straw isn’t just for treating bees and wasps—it’s perfect for directing spray behind siding, into voids and other tight exterior spaces to manage additional pests like spiders without needing to carry multiple products.

Quick Knockdown and Control

Speed matters when managing stinging insects. Onslaught PowerShot delivers fast knockdown of wasps, hornets, yellow jackets and other stinging insects. This quick action reduces the chance of stings during treatment and ensures that nests are neutralized efficiently.

But the benefits don’t stop at knockdown—Onslaught PowerShot also kills insects that return to the treated nest. This helps ensure the entire colony is treated, reducing the need for follow-up visits.

Save Time with Flexible Coverage

PMPs appreciate how Onslaught PowerShot simplifies their work. The additional insects on the PowerShot label reduce the need for multiple products. A technician can treat a spider issue out of reach without going to the truck to get another product or worrying about staining. This versatility not only saves time but also means fewer materials to carry, supporting more efficient service calls.

This “Now & Later” approach ensures that treated areas remain protected long after the initial treatment.

Tips and Tricks from MGK Technical Department

• Be safe. When possible, treat when insects are less active and more likely to be in the nest, such as dawn or dusk.
• Don’t rush. Take some time to observe flight patterns. There may be more than one entrance to the nest. Make slow movements and remain steady.
• Spray thoroughly. When treating nests, spray for 2 seconds to ensure full coverage.
• Apply easily. The aerosol can is lightweight and can be used one-handed, which is useful for ladder applications.
• Get precise. Use the straw attachment for applications that require additional spray precision and/or distance.
