    Dustick Deluxe Kit

    By Dave on 08/02/2011

    Verified Purchase

    Overall the kit worked fairly well. There are a few things I would like to see changed to make it better. On the poles themselves only the terminal attachment to the end has a push button snap. This needs to be on all of the poles. As it is now, if you try to turn the pole for a better angle, the poles slip and the terminal attachment slides around. If all of the poles were fixed to each other with the push button snap, this would not happen. The aerosol top needs some work. The lever on the top that pushes down on the button of the can will not work on most wasp spray cans which is what it would mostly be used for. I had to rig a rubber "button" on the underside of the lever to allow it to reach the can button well enough to spray. Also the can attachment will only shoot 90 degrees to the pole. This means you need to be directly under the nest when spraying. This can get exciting. The attachment needs to have the ability to swivel out to at least 45 degrees so you can spray at an angle. The duster top and the scraper worked well and really have no complaints there, other then needing the poles to not slip around. Overall the kit did the job with some effort and "MacGyvering" to get ti to do everything I needed.

    Coming from a PMP

    By Jason on 08/24/2013

    Verified Purchase

    Not really happy to tell you the truth. I have been using the Dustick for my business for quite some time and the standard kit without the attachments has paid for itself over and over and over again. Normally I am a straight duster when it comes to nests. Its cheap and easy and does the job, end of story. I attempted to use the aerosol attachment tonight and was just flat out disgusted that I even spent the extra money on it. I set up a can of wasp freeze on there and went to work. I was 20ft. under a very large nest. I put the can all the way up there and tried pulling the string. With the sway of the poles (I know they were trying to go light but when you get that fourth attachment on there it starts getting like a circus act) and the added weight of the can attachment it took 2 of us to be able to pull the string without ending up with the can 2 feet from where we wanted it. Once we got this part down off we went and guess what? We both got SOAKED in wasp freeze. As the previous poster mentioned...you have to stand DIRECTLY under where you are spraying. The wasps didnt bother me much dropping dead all around AND ON me, but taking a bath in Wasp Freeze sure the hell did. Stick with the regular stick and buy the scraper tool. Mine has paid for itself over and over again. Until they do something about the aerosol top its gonna sit gathering dust for me.

    Excellent Product for hard to access locations

    By Paul on 06/26/2011

    Verified Purchase

    I recently ordered the Dustick Deluxe Kit along with Drione. We own a log home and every spring we have a problem with carpenter bees. In previous years I would buy an aerosol can of bee spray and use a "spray and caulk" method. The problem was that I could not access the out of reach areas that are higher up on our home.T he Dustick handles these areas extremely well.  I can easily use the full extension and reach locations 20+ feet above my head. It disperses the Drione very well regardless of how many extensions you use. Admittedly, with all the extensions the Dustick gets a bit wobbly to control at first. My technique was to slide it up the wall as I added extensions. This helped avoid the wobbly balancing act I initially encountered. My only wish is that you would come up with an attachment that would enable me to insert a small cork into the carpenter bee openings.  Drione followed by a cork is a standard method for combating carpenter bees.  Right now I only can cork the areas lower down that are within reach. Thanks for making such a well built and helpful product. For anyone who will have a recurring need I recommend this product.

    Dustick Deluxe

    By Anonymous on 08/20/2013

    Fantastic! Works like a charm. I was able to kill lots of nests in places I was not able to reach even with ladders. It was nice to be able to remove all the old nests as well that were building up. This also works very well close to the ground with no sections attached. Well worth the money!!

    Dust stick

    By Dean on 05/11/2018

    The plunger is the same as the old dust stick and the poles are the same but the top part that holds the chemical is plastic. Not made as good as the old one

    Dustick deluxe kit

    By Jay on 10/11/2019

    For the money that this cost I thought it could be built a lot better. The dust canister is extremely cheap. I had a very hard time getting to shoot dust up under the siding of a house(about two feet off of the ground). I just feel for the money you spend on this, it should work a lot better.

    Not so great

    By Mark on 05/03/2020

    This thing is garbage. It constantly clogs. Don't waste your money listening to the hype.

    Expensive, but worth it

    By Rod on 06/15/2018

    The duster is the first tool that has allowed me to treat carpenter bee holes in the eves and upper logs of our home. The duster is easier to use than I anticipated, and the carrying case is functional for storage and transport between our log home and log cabin. The price truly caused a moment of "pause" but the recommendations from some fellow log home owners convinced me this was the right tool for the job. Hopefully this review will help overcome any reservations others might have about this pole, duster and scraper. I should note that I have not used the aerosol top.

    Meh!! 30 year PMP I wouldn't buy again!!

    By David on 11/09/2019

    Very top heavy when fully extended making it hard to place tip in bee hole. Once in the hole you need to hold carefully with one hand and then pump with the other. This motion makes it hard to remain in the hole. Once you master this aspect you still need to know that it's a very small amount of dust that comes out. Overall very disappointed. If you're a pmp try the birchmeier dr5 with the XL8 extension, pricey but easier to use and more dust.

    Works

    By Domyown on 06/15/2020

    Works very well. Only needed 3 of the 4 attachments (20' reach includes my height). Strong, sturdy, I will use again if needed. This has been a very good product. Don't be shy about pressing the handle with force to achieve complete coverage in hole/ tunnels. It will shoot out the other end. May need to move tip at different angles to find which direction tunnel goes. Before sending up the black applicator shake to make sure dust is loose about 1/2 full at least. Reapply if needed but give it a couple days first if your application was good. Dusting is not immediate but results are quick. Would recommend this. Top heavy and not meant for reaching long horizontal sections with extensions (would go 2 sections to reach sideways about 10 feet). Have not used the sprayer attachment yet. When applying make sure you are personally covered as some dust will fall from above. Wore a hoodie, gloves, glasses, pants shoes and face covering. Avoid breezy/windy days if possible as the dust can carry.

    Save your money

    By Tim on 03/27/2023

    The cheaper re design of this duster is a piece of junk. I have 16 years in the pest control industry and all I can say it doesn't work as intended. Very disappointing.

    Wonderful Updates

    By Andrew on 06/20/2022

    I used to use the Dustick when I worked for a competing, national pest control company. Of course, most of the equipment there was dated, but still worked. However, Dustick made some improvements. The first I noticed was that the new stick that attaches to the scraper and other tools is now a different color than the rest of them, which makes it easier to find that pole section. The second that I like is that the pole sections have a smooth shaft. The only complaint that I have is that the sections do not rise very high, so it's difficult to use from the ground with higher eaves.

    A must have to keep you off the ladder!

    By Jesh on 06/12/2020

    This is a must have tool when it comes to stinging insects and keeping off a ladder. The only thing that I wasn't wild about was that they replaced the metal canister with a plastic one now. It doesn't affect the functionality, but I don't know who long it will last. The connector "extension" is also blue, which helps when you are setting up the connections. Overall, great product.

    Great for Carpenter Bees

    Very good product. Very good price. Exactly what you need for carpenter bee or hornet treatments on elevated locations.
