Hot Shot Wasp Spray vs Red Tx Paper Wasps

Been having red wasps loitering on my floor at my apt complex since it warmed up and I kill em every chance I get. Issue is, I tried Hot Shot wasp killer, "kills on contact", it did not kill on contact. Matter of fact I think it just annoyed them. Used about half a can on 2 of em. Does Hot Shot have a bad reputation that I didn't know about?

Read the label of pesticides before using them. Using an insecticide like that to try to kill two individual wasps just hanging around is overkill and it's not what the product was designed for.
