    Q
    How do I fill the duster with the Drione Dust?
    A
    There is a lid on the Drione Dust that unscrews from the top.  Also, the top black part on the bulb dusters that the clear extension tubes attach to also unscrews off of the bulb part of the duster.  This will reveal a wide opening and will allow you to pour the dust in the duster, and then put the lid back on.  You should do this outside in case any misses the opening, and just remember also that you should only fill the duster about 1/4 of the way for best results.  You should never fill the duster more than half way or there will not be any room in the bulb duster for air to force the dust out.

    How many ounces of dust does the B&G Bulb duster 1150 hold?
    A
    The B&G Bulb Duster 1150 holds 10 oz. of dust but to use the duster correctly you should not place more than 6 oz. inside the duster at a time.  You want to leave some room for air to compress the dust for it to apply the proper amount when you are using it.

    Q
    How much dust should come out of the B&G Bulb Duster 1150?
    I'm not sure if I using it wrong but when I dust with the duster held upright, there doesn't seem to be much coming out at all. If I point down or hold horizontally and squeeze, more comes up. I am attempting to squeeze dust into some carpenter been holes on my fascia but I cannot tell if any/enough is coming out.
    A
    The  B&G Bulb Duster 1150 is designed so just a small amount of dust comes out at a time.  You only want to apply enough dust to kill insects. If a there is a large pile the insect may go around the dust. The duster could also be clogged and would need to be cleaned out.

    Q
    Will dusting with a B&G Bulb Duster 1150 under a lattice enclosed porch work to kill yellow jackets?
    Bees under porch
    A

    If you apply to holes that the yellow jackets are going in and out of, dusting will work to kill them. Tempo 1% Dust would be a great choice to use in the B&G Bulb Duster 1150.

    Q
    Getting stung from carpenter bees while dusting?
    I have a carpenter bee problem on the outside of my shed. I know the males can't sting and the females rarely sting. Whats the chances of getting stung dusting the holes? I have multiple holes 10 or so all around the shed (some might be old and not used but I don't know so I need to do all of them). I do see 3-4 bees at times outside buzzing around the shed but no more that that. Does the female or males usually come out right away after being dusted? Should I do all the holes at once even if more bees come out or do as many until they start coming out? Any help will be appreciated without getting stung. Thanks
    A
    It is highly unlikely to get stung by the carpenter bees. It would be best to make the application with B&G Bulb Duster 1150 during the times of the days the bees are less active. Such as early morning or later evening.

    Q
    Can the B&G Bulb Duster 1150 be used for outside application?
    We have nests behind our cement stairs. We are unable to move the stairs but there is a gap of about 1/2 inch between the stairs and outside wall.
    A
    The B&G duster would be a great tool for treating the gap around your stairs or similar cracks and crevices around the structure. Depending on the insect, you will want to choose an insecticide dust with some residual, such as Delta Dust, which is moisture resistant.

    Q
    Can the B&G Bulb Duster 1150 be used with the Niban Granular Bait?
    A

    We do not recomend that you use Niban in the B&G Bulb Duster 1150. The Niban comes in a tip and pour bottle for easy application. We recommend applying the granules with a hand spreader for applications in large areas or using the B&G 2 Quart Duster. Niban can be applied indoors and outdoors. For outdoors: apply where ants forage or in a 2-4 foot band around your home. It can be applied on lawns and in gardens. Indoors: Spread in attics, cellars, crawl spaces, cracks and crevices.

  • Asked by Jennifer from Atoka, Oklahoma

    Q
    What is the use for the thin clear tube connected to the side and top of the B&G Duster Bulb?
    Brand new B&G Duster clear plastic tube is crimped to the side and runs down through the top of the (what looks like) the applicator base down into the bulb. The opposite end (inside the bulb) is crimped or melted as to prevent the tube from coming out. It looks like it may be for shipping purposes or to maybe unclog the tip but in pictures and videos some dusters have the tubes some do not.
    A
    I apologize, but we are unclear as to which duster you are asking about. Please clarify what duster you are referring and I would be happy to help.
