    Worked GREAT!

    By Jennifer on 09/28/2008

    The siding on my home is red cedar and apparently it is a favorite treat for CARPENTER BEES. They were making terrible holes in the siding like perfectly round bullet holes, and then the woodpeckers would come along and peck at the wood making long channels so they could reach the carpenter bees behind the wood. It was a mess. My painters filled the wood with BONDO and caulk and wood filler...but that did not stop the bees. Over night they bored right through ALL of the products and the fresh paint. I called three exterminators but everyone told me they would spray and I would have to pay again and again in a few months because you could not kill them with just one spray. I BEG TO DIFFER!  I found Delta Dust and I puffed it into the fresh new active holes that the bees made after painting. Within 24 hours I picked up over thirty dead bees on the ground around my house (I have small dogs and I did not want them eating dead poisoned bees). By 48 hours the count had risen to over SIXTY dead bees... and there are NONE flying around the holes, or siding any more! DELTA DUST IS A MUST for carpenter bees. It worked GREAT!!!!

    Amazing!

    By Rhonda on 06/23/2006

    We have ordered Delta Dust in the past to control Brown Recluse Spiders. It is amazing! We had our house sprayed for several years, twice a year, and we would still have Brown Recluse Spiders. I found your website and ordered Delta Dust from you, and our Brown Recluse Problem has been cut in half. We continue to apply the Delta Dust and see great results. Thank You!! P.S. We use it as a perimeter treatment and also in wall voids, in the attic space and under the house. I am very thankful for your product as we were killing approximately 5 spiders a week before we used the Delta Dust. I still find them now and then, especially when the dust has been washed away outside.

    This stuff saved my sanity and my marriage!

    By A on 06/23/2011

    My husband picked up bed bugs in a four star hotel while away for work in the UK. We know that's where he got them because he'd seen one inside his suitcase the day he returned and he was asking me if I knew what it was.  I didn't and we just thought it was "a bug" not realizing that a within a week we'd both be covered all over our abdomens and arms with the nasty bed beg bites.  We vacuumed, cleaned, tossed bedding, dry cleaned etc but they kept coming back.  Until I did my research and discovered Drione dust.  Follow the instructions to a T and you'll succeed in eradicating those evil, disgusting pests. We also did the "Vasoline" around the feet of our bed which helps keep them from climbing up the bed from other areas of the home.  It was HELL. HELL!!  But we beat them. We also bought the air tight mattress and box spring protectors.  They work!  It's all good, it all helps.  Good luck!

    Great results!

    By Carrie on 01/13/2007

    I use a hand duster to puff Delta Dust into wall voids by inserting the duster underneath my baseboards. It will kill whatever is living inside the walls or travelling along the perimeters of the room. Also used Suspend SC (liquid version of Deltamethrin) with a gallon sprayer on top of the dust for an added punch-- this duo of Delta Dust and Suspend SC has given me great results in getting rid of earwigs, spiders, ants, and fleas.

    When I moved into our new home, I was shocked to see that there were bugs already there, roaches. A friend of mine told me about Delta Dust, but I wanted to do research myself. With the positive reviews I bought it and thank god I did. I have not see a pest in my home since. Thanks for Delta Dust!!!!!  I definitely will recommend buying.

    Amazing againsts stink bugs!!

    By Marilyn on 03/28/2008

    You have probably saved my home. I have an infestation (almost overnight) of STINKBUGS. Very difficult to get rid of. Got the Delta Dust - amazing - within just a few day they were gone . It states the product last for 6 months but it hasn't been that long, however just having relief from the constant pest is great.  I must say I did not have much luck with the duster - difficult to spray. Ended up using a turkey baster, sorry guys. But I really encourage any one with a problem with Stink bugs to get this and get it FAST!

    It works

    By Chris on 09/17/2010

    I highly reccomend this. I had a nest of wasps between my aluminum siding and the backerboard of the house. I tried aresol insecticides which were pretty useless. All I ended up with was a pile of dead wasps but they were breeding faster than I could kill them. I blasted this stuff in the crack they were coming and going out of and the next day they were gone. I don't know what happened to them; probably a dead nest behind my aluminum siding but isn't that what we're going for here?

    Gets rid of bedbugs fast!

    By Martha on 08/16/2011

    Verified Purchase

    I researched bedbug treatment on the internet, and found that different types of treatment, like Pinesol and bleach were recommended. However, none worked in the least. But then I remembered that I had used the delta dust for fleas a while back, so thought I'd check to see if that would do the trick for bedbugs. Delta Dust did indeed advertise that bedbugs were also treatable. Using only a little dust, primarily at the baseboards (since I had read that that's where they like to hide), from that moment I have had no more problems! Very highly recommended.

    This is amazing for Bed Bugs

    By Jade on 03/09/2013

    I love this dust. I live in Chicago and I use this as a crack, crevice and perimeter treatment after spaying Fenvastar with Gentrol and this is amazing! The other products worked great for residual kill of the bed bugs, with them lessening after the first treatment...but this helped me the most because it helped me find out where these little nasties were coming from in my bedroom. I live in between 2 adjacent apartments that have both been confirmed as infested (FINALLY-after I took a bed bug on a pin to my landlord) The bed bugs from the apartment on the right were coming in through the front door, and were confirmed, but then I started seeing them coming up my bathroom sink which is connected to the infested apartment on the left (tenant bug bombed). So I sprayed my FenvaStar under the sink and problem solved....or so I thought. So, after I dusted the perimeter, there was a crack in the wall that we shared by the bathroom. You should have seen these bugs running from the crack......so next step is to caulk it to slow the flow of new 6 legged tenants from infested neighbor on the left, but it it wasn't for this dust helping me to find the source, I would have been in bed bug hell forever! Although it was fun watching them run then go into convulsions after hitting the dust! :D Thank you so much again for carrying these products! So much money has been saved because I will have to treat for the remainder of the year and it has also helped to educate my landlords about how to properly treat bedbugs in their buildings(landlords current PCO is LAZY, 5 minute spritz and he's in and out, but they are now aware of that issue and are taking proactive steps so it may get better, they just needed to be educated on how to select a PCO specialized in bed bug removal for large buildings).

    It works but takes at least two weeks

    By Jay on 06/13/2011

    Verified Purchase

    I got a whole colony of ground nesting bees in a small garden right next to the entrance where our family go in and out the house. There were probably 20 holes in the small garden. When the sun was high and weather was dry, they would be flying around that area. I was certain that one of our family member would got stung sooner or later. I ordered the dust and a duster (Centrobulb Duster), and started using it right away. Although the recommendations suggest us to apply it in the evening when we were sure the scouts have gone back to the nests, I found that I could not see most of the nests in the evening because the outside was dark (and there were too many holes to keep track with). I ended up applying the dust in the early morning when there was enough light to see all the nests and when the bees were still inside their nests. After a few days, I still saw bees flying around (but in a significantly fewer number). I applied the second time. A few more days later, I started flattening some of the nests. But soon I had to back off because I heard buzzing sound near my ears. I applied the dust for the third time in the next morning. I noticed that the nests that I had flattened didn't re-open. This gave me hope. A few days later, I decided to flatten half of the nests. This time no bee bothered me any more. The next day I found that none of the flattened nests were re-opened, and I flattened the rest. None of the nests are active ever since. This stuff works! I will apply a layer of mulch over that area, and that will be the final chapter of this event.

    Delta Dust

    By Mike on 05/16/2010

    Verified Purchase

    We started doing our own pest control, used this for the block walls, targeting the spiders and scorpions.  We've seen no scorpions and the spiders including black widows died immediately. Use a mask the dust is fine, and use the bulb sprayer it's handy and user friendly.

    Good for ants and general coverage

    By Richard on 06/25/2010

    Verified Purchase

    I've been using EcoDust (nice smell!) but switched to Delta Dust given the good results I got from the granules last year. It's an easy dust to distribute, no clumping, and with a good duster provides good coverage. In the short time I've had it out, it's been very effective against the larger black ants (these are not carpenter) that have been coming into the house. I've been using the hand duster to blow this dust into cracks in the and around the house foundations and the wood siding where the insects may be nesting. It's small and dusty enough to really get into the tight spaces and it cleans up easily if you get any on the wood.

    Works for scorpions!

    By Neil on 04/28/2011

    Verified Purchase

    Delta Dust has finally made our yard scorpion-free! We've been using Cy-kick which has helped tremendously, but only after using the Delta Dust in all the cracks, crevices and borders have we been completely free of scorpions. And you definitely should use the centrobulb to dispense it. We even put a barrier of the dust at the base of the house and along the bottom of the perimeter concrete wall. When we first put it down, we found a couple of scorpions that were mostly dead after treading through the powder, but now we don't find any at all when we check at night. Great product!

    I used this dust to kill two yellow-jacket nests that were behind siding. I hit the nests once and noticed a few bees flying around after 2-3 days, so I hit them again. I have not seen a bee since. I would buy it again and I like the fact that it is waterproof.

    Good Ol' Delta Dust

    By Marty on 11/28/2015

    We've been using Delta dust for about 10 years now. Using the Bellow Hand Duster, I squeeze a puff (like a small smoke cloud) behind each switch cover and outlet cover once a year, and our house stays critter free 100% of the time. And, if it keeps critters away in Florida, it will keep them away anywhere!

    Delta Dust

    By Ron on 05/02/2011

    Delta Dust is one of the most effective and easy to use insecticides. It will kill fire ants, carpenter bees, and nearly everything else. With the puffer, it lasts a long time.

    Delta Dust insecticide

    By Paul on 08/02/2011

    Verified Purchase

    Got it to mainly control cicada killer wasps. It seems to be working. Don't see as many flying around but new holes are still popping up. So I keep dusting away. Works best if you can get the dust directly on them. So I have to camp out around thier nest and wait for them to fly in. Works on ants too.

    Very good for silverfish

    By Diane on 08/03/2011

    Verified Purchase

    Tired of using a professional exterminator to rid my home of silverfish, I purchased Delta Dust and it has truly helped me eliminate these little pests. Would highly reccommend to others. However, the dust is very fine so make sure no children or especially no pets are near you as you apply the dust. Great product.

    Did not work as I had hoped

    By Pk on 05/30/2012

    Verified Purchase

    I was thinking I could just squeeze the plastic container and it would send a stream of powder upward into the infested carpenter bee holes. Didn't work. So this product was a disapointment. Ended up using Tanglefoot which I should have thought of in the first place.

    Expert Response  Expert response:
    The dust products are not intended to be used directly from the container. They will not apply the dust straight up. A hand duster should be purchased for this application.

    I have an ongoing problem with roaches in a property I own, they've been there for a very long time over a decade and there's simply no getting rid of them even though I've sealed off every crack crevis and hole with caulk and then some. This stuff seems to have worked well so far, it's hard to find a product these roaches aren't immune to, this is working for now, will try some other stuff when it stops.

    Excellent Product For It's Designed Use

    By Bryan on 08/28/2012

    Not a good product for flying, stinging pests such as wasps, bees, yellow jackets, etc. It is fantastic in commercial restaurants for German Roaches. I use this water-proof dust in wall-voids to eliminate the possibility of infestation for a minimum of 6 months. This gives me more time to work the equipment and contents of the kitchen without worry of re-infestation. Great in weep-holes for exclusion of standard household pests.

    I had a drain pipe leak for several months in the crawl space and as a result a roach infestation on my hands. The leak was repaired and I covered the entire crawl space floor with Delta dust. Within minutes the roach exodus began. Hundreds and hundreds ended up dying on the lawn that day. Very effective product.

    Delta Dust Insecticide

    By Tom on 06/08/2011

    Verified Purchase

    Delta Dust Insecticide is one heavy duty insecticide for ridding your home of the dreaded stink bug! We live in a wooded area and our house has lots of windows that the stink bugs migrated to every morning. It was not unusual for us to have 20-30 stink bugs in the morning. After applying Delta Dust approximately 2-3 weeks ago the stink bug population is dwindling quickly. You may have to clean up all the dead stink bugs and to me that's much better than living with the live ones. Delta Dust Insecticide has proven it WORKS ON STINK BUGS!!
