Drione works!!
By None on July 23, 2008I spoke with Mike about a horrible problem I had. BEDBUGS! We got them on our travels from another state. Mike realized right away that I had a problem and the product arrived FAST! I rid my whole house of this menace in less than 2 weeks. Drione Dust is awesome. I have recommended this site to everyone who hate bugs as much as I do. Unfortunately, I pitched my 1920's wooden sleigh bed before I found this site. Drione works and kills within 24 hours.

I had a huge problem with boring bees (had already killed 27 with a squash racket). I applied the drione dust to one of the many holes in my log house and then I started finding dead boring bees around my house. Now after 2 months I have yet to see any new holes or bees. Thank You

Excellent
By Tina on August 14, 2010I live in an apartment and the management decided it was time to get the bed bugs treated. We were told the exterminators would come once a week for 3 weeks and after that we should have no more issues with bed bugs. After almost three weeks, we still saw no difference and were suffering from sleepless nights. A friend suggested Drione dust and I decided to give it a try since i was very disappointed with the on-going treatment. Drione dust proved to be magic and with just one treatment that I left on for 42 hours, I am happy to say 'Adios bed-bugs'. I strongly recommend this product for all those folks suffering. You'll need the Bellow hand duster with it as well.

Incredibly effective!
By Mark on April 17, 2007Can't say enough good things about Drione Dust. It's been incredibly effective for me. I've cleaned out 3 or 4 yellow jacket nests with it. They were all within walls and cracks, so injecting it into the cracks at night was all it took -- just one application. I've also taken down large spiders with it, and just recently knocked out a nest of carpenter ants. I don't know how it works, but I don't care. Highly suggest purchasing the applicator/injector. Much easier to aim the stuff.

Great stuff!
By Donna on August 21, 2006This is the second time we have a had a hornets nest in the last two years. The first time we paid a "pro" to come and do the job for us, who had to come back a second time to reapply. This time we tackled the problem ourselves (along with DMOPC) and there was not a single hornet coming in or out the next morning, thanks to Drione Dust. Great great stuff at 1/2 the cost. Thanks!!

drione dust drops 'em in their tracks!
By Patty on April 28, 2013 Verified Purchase
I have a house that spiders, wasps and stink bugs love. That would be a problem if it weren't for drione dust. It is the greatest agent I've ever used, and before I found it, I had tried everything. The pyrethrum stops the most ambitious bugs in their tracks, whether they're crawling, flying, or just hanging around. I would recommend it to anyone who thinks they have a pest problem that can't be gotten rid of. This stuff definitely works!

taking aheadprecautions
By Donna on April 1, 2013 Verified Purchase
A friend told me about the drione dust can't say anything good or bad, didn't have a problem with any insects but I know there's a epidemic going on so I just took precaution just in case. Hopefully I won't have to have any problems since I already use the dust

bed bugs
By Blaine on November 8, 2012 Verified Purchase
bed bugs hate this stuff. I have been dealing with bed bugs for 3 years. The only things I have found that keep them at bay is laying down a thin bead of phantom spray at the wall and floor then laying down Drione Dust all along the perimeter of the room and under everything. stove fridge dresser desk bed ect. its still not a cure all but I have had a lot of experience with this and its your best shot.

Great Product
By Rodger on September 21, 2012I purchased this along with a Centrobulb Duster to eliminate a bees nest in my log cabin. The bees were entering through a large crack on the outside. I put some dust in the crack one night and they were gone in a very short time. Great product.

Dust is good for longer impact
By Pete on August 20, 2012Don't buy a cheap applicator..the longer tip is better. Dust was recommended in a very fine and light application in the cracks, behind outlets, bed frames to keep Bed Bugs out afer Temprid was spayed. Very effective..Goggles, gloves, good face mask ect. cover up it does not take much to burn the skin. Nothing can survive this stuff.

Kills em dead
By John on August 10, 2012I had a couple holes around where the TV cable and other wires come into the house, where red wasps had nested. Couldn't get a spray in there to kill them. Used this one dark night to dust in the holes. Next morning there were tons of dead wasps on the ground under the holes. For several days after, dead wasps would appear on the ground. This stuff kills and keeps killing.

QIs Drione dust safe around people and pets?
I have a newborn and two dogs. If we were to buy Drione Dust and treat our house for ticks can I have the newborn and dogs in the house while treating? If not how long until we can go back into the house? Also is it safe to be in the house after treatment with a newborn and two dogs?
ADrione Dust is a very safe product and also very effective. Like any product you need to make sure you apply it as directed and read all instructions for it to work properly on insects and be safe for your family. Drione Dust is meant to be applied in cracks and crevices, underneath appliances and inside wall voids. If you apply it correctly and in these types of areas it will not be accessible for your pets and children to come in contact with but it will be in the places that bugs like to hide. You do not have to remove the pets and children while you are treating, but it would be a good idea to have them in a different room while you are applying the dust. After 30 minutes have passed after you have applied the product it is perfectly safe for them to be back in the room that you treated.

November 12, 2010 Laure asked:
QWhat's the difference between bedbug spray and dust?
ASprays come either in a can or a concentrate that you mix with water. Sprays need to be re-applied every 7-10 days in most situations. Dusts need to be applied with a hand duster and most last for around 6 months. When you are dealing with bedbugs, it is important that you use both a dust and a spray. The reasoning behind this is that while dusts may last a long time, they also take a long time to kill the bedbug(time that the bedbug will still be able to breed), bite and lay eggs. Sprays offer a faster kill, but do not last very long. Also, dusts must only be applied to areas that will later be inaccessible such as wall voids, under furniture, under carpets, etc. Many of the bedbug sprays can be applied to the mattress, box spring, couch and other areas that are a bit more sensitive. Professional standards require the use of both dusts and sprays. We recommend purchasing one of our bedbug kits as they come with all of the insecticide products you need to do a proper treatment.

QWhat's the difference between Delta Dust and Drione Dust?
Besides being waterproof, what is the difference between Drione Dust and Delta Dust?
AThe only real difference is that they are different active ingredients. Delta Dust has an active ingredient of Deltamethrin, and Drione Dust is a 1% natural pyrethrin. Both are very effective and our most popular dust products that we sell. They just kill the insect in different ways. Either is a great choice.

QWhat is the shelf life of Drione dust?
ADrione Dust will remain effective as long as it stays dry. You should keep the lid on at all times and keep it away from moisture. We have customers that have had Drione Dust for over 5 years and it is still effective.

QIs Drione Dust water proof?
If I were to dust the perimeter of my house and yard, would it stand up to water? And if not, what would you recommend?
ADrione dust is not waterproof. The only dust that is waterproof is Delta Dust. Delta is also labeled to kill most of the same insects as the Drione dust.

Irene from Yonkers Ny asked:
Qwhat can i use to rid ground hornets in my yard
AYou can use Drione dust directly applied to the nests with a hand duster for ground hornet control. We recommend that you either treat very late in the evening or very early in the morning to minimize the risk of attack. You should note that Drione dust takes a few days to kill the hornets and will not immediately knockdown the insects.

Mary from Dade City, Fl asked:
QWhat is the best way to irradicate brown recluse spiders using Drione Dust?
AYou would want to dust behind and underneath furniture, appliances, garage perimeter and inside wall voids. All dusts pretty much work the same way and all are OK on spiders. But the inherent problem is that spiders are hard to kill because they do not groom themselves. Unlike other insects that walk over dust, get it on their legs, and then groom themselves, spiders do not groom their legs and therefore do not ingest the dust as easily. For this reason, glue boards and sprays are typically used more often. We have a spider kit that is very popular for brown recluse spiders and all spiders in general that we would recommend.

Mark from Buffalo N.y. asked:
QIs Drione dust the best available product for reg. and carpenter ants for N.Y.?
ADrione dust will help eliminate any type of ant that crosses over treated areas and is a good choice for ant control. Drione works very well when applied directly to ant nests in voids and cracks and crevices as well.

John from Liberty, Mo asked:
QHow many pounds of Drione do you need to treat a 3600 sq foot house for spiders and which duster would be best?
AAccording to the Drione dust product label you will need to use 16 oz per 1,000 sq ft of surface area being treated. Most folks will only use 1 lb of dust when treating their home because they are not covering all 3,600 sq ft. Instead all treatments are kept to cracks, crevices and voids around the perimeter of the rooms. The Bellow Hand Duster is our best selling hand duster for home owners.

Danny from Ny,ny asked:
QIs Drione dust poisonous to dogs if inhaled or swallowed?
My dog just recently inhaled some Drione Dust and swallowed some, is it poisonous?
AYes, if Drione dust is inhaled or ingested in large quantities your dog could have an adverse reaction to the dust. In small quantities you most likely would not see any reaction other than sneezing as the dust could be irritating to the mucus membranes in the nose and mouth. We recommend that you take your dog to the veterinarian for an examination just to be safe. We have linked the Drione dust product label and MSDS in our answer so you can easily print them out to give to the vet.

Larry from Commack, Ny asked:
QWhat are the risks and wise precautions for overhead work today where Drione Dust was applied in July 2008?
I have a main floor bathroom exhaust fan that vents through flexible duct that passes through to the outside above a ceiling where Drione Dust was applied to solve a bee problem in July 2008. Would a contractor be in danger doing a fan replacement? What should I caution him to do or not do?
AThere are three basic active ingredients in Drione dust, Pyrethrins, Piperonyl Butoxide, Amorphous Silica Gel. Both the pyrethrins and Piperonyl Butoxide have lost their potency and should no longer be an issue for anyone. The Amorphous Silica Gel however does not fade away over time, it is a desiccant and can be irritating if it gets in your eyes or if it is inhaled. People working around these old deposits of dust should wear eye protection and a dust mask and should wash their hands before eating, drinking or using the toilet.

John from Washington Dc asked:
QCan I safely use Drione dust on a mattress? Under the sofa?
I bought Drione dust and it says the mattress should be dusted to treat bedbugs but it also says people shouldn't touch it? In a related question, can I apply the dust to the underside of my sofa?
AYou can safely apply Drione dust to areas that are listed on the Drione product label. When using on a mattress stick to the tufts, folds, and edges of the mattress and then put the mattress pad and sheets back on the mattress so you do not directly contact treated areas. You can also safely dust the underside of your sofa as that is an area that will not be readily accessible to skin contact.

John from Washington Dc asked:
QCan I apply Drione dust beneath my radiators? How close to the radiators can I safely put the dust?
ADrione dust should not be placed close to a radiator as it could over heat the product making it degrade more quickly than it normally would, and if the radiator gets hot enough it could potentially cause a fire. You should keep the dust far enough from the radiator to keep the dust from repeatedly getting heated up.
July 15, 2011 Bruce asked:
QI purchased Drione Dust in 1999. It still seems to work. How affective is it at this age?
AThe manufacturer recommends that you use Drione Dust within 3 years of the date of purchase to ensure maximum efficacy. That being said, Drione does contain Amorphous Silica Gel which is a desiccant that can last indefinitely.

QWe have outdoor fleas because we live in the woods. Will Drione Dust work to get rid of the fleas?
ADrione dust is labeled for outdoor flea control in lawns. The Drione dust product label (bottom of pg 2) recommends that you use 16 oz per 1,000 sq ft. This type of application can get very expensive and can be washed away when it rains. We recommend you purchase and use our Outdoor Flea Kit which comes with an insecticide to eliminate the jumping biting adults and an Insect Growth regulator to stop the growth cycle of the immature fleas.
