Erik and Karen,
I have copied the info on mint oil spray below. Raid and Raid-like
products do not hold a candle to this stuff. In fact, I have never seen
a product that will kill wasps as quickly as this will (FWIW I have no
interest in any company) If you have an Ace Hardware in your area, they
also sell it. Here are some links.

"GREEN": "ENVIRONMENTALLY-RESPONSIBLE" E.P.A. Registered
"Wasp & Hornet Killer" is a POISON-FREE convenient, ready-to-use,
aerosol which can shoot a long 15 foot range stream and will allow the
applicator to stand a safe distance away from the wasp, hornet, yellow
jacket, or bees nest during treatment. Since this product is certified
as "POISON-FREE" by " Scientific Certification Systems" due to its MINT
OIL base, concerns about "Toxicity" and "Impact on the Environment"
regarding your family, pets, employee staff, and surrounding environment
is inconsequential. In fact, due to the safe nature of this product, it
is EXEMPT from EPA registration under the Federal Insecticide,
Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA).
In today's world, the increase in governmental restrictions and public
concern limiting the use of traditional pesticides in sensitive
environments such as public schools and facilities almost mandates the
use of "NON-TOXIC", POISON-FREE insecticides. This product is safe to
use around children, pets, and even vegetation !
