    Works Well

    By Sarah on 06/07/2009

    Verified Purchase

    Well, I have a spider issue in my house, as many others do as well. I have a small studio apartment in California, very old and in an area with a lot of trees. I bought Delta Dust to spray around my house as a preventative. So I've only used this hand duster with that product. I've found it very easy to use, and great for getting into all of those cracks and whatnot around my apartment. It has semi-clogged once, but I just shook it hard and that resolved the issue. I read somewhere to put a couple of rocks in the blower to keep clumps from forming, but I did not have that issue. It may be that since California has such a low humidity level that clumps are not as likely. The blower was very easy to fill, cap, and begin to use immediately. I have seen that as the dust gets low, I have to shake it a bit to settle the contents at the bottom, but it's not a huge problem. So I've had a very positive experience, and I've very glad I got this to distribute the Delta Dust with.

    Excellent value

    By Vincent on 04/06/2011

    Verified Purchase

    There are more expensive dusters on the market and I believe the old saying "you get what you pay for".  In this case as a home owner and not a professional, I took a chance on the least expensive and am happy with my choice. Follow directions and it will work four stars good.

    Great Product!

    By April on 07/02/2010

    Verified Purchase

    I was looking for something to apply BT to my cole crops. The Hudson Adjutant tin duster was terrible and cost me almost twice as much! It required constant shaking and lots of muscle power. The bellow hand duster is much easier to use and more accurate. Love it. Thanks!

    Low cost duster that works well!

    By Richard on 06/25/2010

    Verified Purchase

    I got this to use with Delta Dust in our crawl spaces and have now started using it to blow the dust into cracks between the wood siding too. It works well, just be careful when filling it since the stopper hole is about the same size as the Delta Dust 1lb bottle top.

    Works, but could use flexible tip

    By Dorr on 06/06/2011

    Verified Purchase

    This is a good, reasonably priced product which does what it says it will do; that is, applying insecticidal dusts. However, I'm using it exclusively for carpenter bee control, and the dust must be applied up into their carefully drilled holes. Up, not sideways. The rigid tip on the applicator makes this impossible. This caused an issue for me, but I was able to work out a solution. I bought a length of flexible tubing and duct- taped it to the end of the applicator tip. This allows me to bend the tubing and shove it into the bee holes. It would be nice if a piece of tubing could be included as a free "accessory." Mine cost 54 cents at Lowe's.

    Carpenter bees

    Easy to use. Just fill and squeeze. Tip fits into bee holes with ease. Nothing bad to say about it.

    Necessity for applying any dust formula

    By Lavonne on 04/13/2011

    Verified Purchase

    This duster is a great little tool; just make sure that when you fill the duster, you are outside as the dust is flying everywhere. I made the mistake of trying to fill inside and I had a mess.

    Duster Clogs with Drione Dust

    By Jlw on 08/09/2010

    I used this duster with Drione dust and it worked ok at first, but then started clogging. The Drione dust was about 90% fine powder with about 10% larger particles. The larger particles kept clogging the nozzle, which is frustrating when you're on your hands and knees or bent over trying to use the duster. A piece of wire (coat hanger) would unclog it, but was a pain. I'm not sure if I had a bad batch of [Drione] dust or not.

    Short life, then leaked

    By Barbara on 04/18/2013

    Verified Purchase

    I have used this duster for only 6 months and the bellows cracked which then leaked the dust. Poor quality.

    The Mighty Little Duster

    By Donald on 07/15/2010

    Verified Purchase

    I have always enjoyed working with the hand duster.  It allows you to get into small areas and cracks and crevices where the insects hide and live. A great tool to use.

    Garbage

    By Mike on 07/06/2017

    Sorry DMOPC, but I bought one of these and it was horribly cheap quality. The sides are so thin it'll tear if anything remotely sharp is even in the neighborhood. That's the last thing you need- go to use it and end up with a face full of dust, or have it end up all over a customer's home. I found the same type, MUCH better quality on Amazon. Kills me to say it since I buy all my supplies here. This is the first, and only thing bought through DMOPC that I wasn't satisfied with.

    Nifty device

    By Lisa on 05/23/2010

    Sure helped me distribute the DE powder and shoots from far away also. No clogs yet..smooth applications..does puff the dust out or with less puffing makes a nice stream of product.

    Cracked after a few months

    By Paul on 05/05/2013

    Verified Purchase

    total bummer...the rubber base cracked after just a few months (in several spots). I loaded it up with some powder, squeezed it, and the powder shot out from the sides (instead of out of the nozzle).

    Bellow Hand Duster for Delta Dust

    By Esther on 08/16/2010

    Verified Purchase

    This is a must have item if you have wasps under your siding. One application using the bellow hand duster and the Delta Dust took care of my problem. Also they were building inside the door of a parked van, this also allowed the dust to get where it was needed. Great product. I had one last year and misplaced it, had to purchase a second one.

    Was much smaller than I expected but the quality seems very good. This would be much more useful if there was a longer tube available.

    Works as described

    By Karen on 10/04/2014

    Verified Purchase

    The duster needs instructions in the description as the instructions are not included in the package. Hold the duster with the cap on top to get the heaviest spray; cap to the side for medium spray; cap upside down for the least amount of spray. Put 3 pebbles in the container to keep the dust/pesticide loose and moving. Store in dry area to keep container clear of clumped pesticide. Duster works wells and distributes diatomaceous earth in a clean straight line in consistent amounts. The duster is not transparent as shown in the picture. The container is heavy duty rubber housing the heavy duty springs.

    Hand Duster

    By Roger on 10/04/2011

    Verified Purchase

    What I had to do is place a label on the duster to identify what was in there. I also had to tape down the top to prevent it from being knocked off. My recommendations are to have containers that could be shipped with a (caution- Drione Dust- Kills Bees & Wasp) label already on the container. The top could be a screw on top to prevent accidental spillage.

    Could be better

    By Darrell on 04/01/2015

    Verified Purchase

    The bellow hand duster works well, but would be better if the metal tubing where the dust comes through, would be more tapered at the end. When you go to use it in small spaces, too much dust comes out. Needs to be more of a tapered end.

    Expert Response  Expert response:
    You can adjust how much dust comes out of the duster in two ways. First, try filling the duster with less duster. Secondly, adjust the orientation at which you hold the duster: hold the duster upside down, with the black stopper on the bottom, to release the smallest amount of dust.

    Bellow Hand Duster

    By Bonita on 11/18/2011

    Verified Purchase

    This product does its job extremely well. Emits a fine, consistent dust with little effort. But if you are chemically sensitive beware. Its bellows is made of some kind of rubber or plastic that gives off a very strong chemical smell. I am chemically sensitive and have had to enclose this duster in a thick plastic bag, to keep down the odor in my kitchen cabinet where I store this item. I have found that strong chemical off-gasing comes with many of the Chinese made products where the "price is right." If you are not chemically sensitive you should be very happy with the practically of the duster. I have used it to fight fleas in my apartment.

    Dust Lightly!

    By Pat on 12/26/2011

    Verified Purchase

    This duster works very well. I'm using pure boric acid at this time, and will probably add a bit of insecticide to it. I find that I have to be careful when squeezing it to only let out a tiny amount at a time, so as to leave an almost invisible coating of the dust, and not a pile here and there. I have been advised by a pest control professional that roaches will not walk into a pile of boric acid or other material, if they can see it they will go around it. So the person using this duster should make sure they are not squeezing too hard and letting out too much. Other than that, it's a great little device and I'm glad I got it.

    Good quality, works well

    By Lynne on 06/01/2011

    Verified Purchase

    I found this easy to use for applying DE (diatomaceous earth) into cracks/baseboards inside my home. The opening in the top is large enough to easily fill the duster. It seems heavy duty enough to last for several years at least.

    Item received was not as pictured

    By Nancy on 11/21/2012

    Verified Purchase

    The Bellow Hand Duster I received was not as pictured - though I ordered it as pictured. The one I received had a red base and the glue around the wide rubber band that attached the middle rubber section to the base was hardened and cracked. When I squeezed the center part of the duster, the product I was using buffed out around the cracks and created a mess. I ended up re-gluing it and it worked OK.
