Customer Reviews for Bellow Hand Duster

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Bought the duster to help apply diatomaceous earth around home. It allowed me to spread the DE into crevices that I couldn't do by hand.

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.

Works great!!! I read some not so great reviews but bought this anyway. Other reviews said it had a clumping problem which I didnt see at all. Performed better than I expected. I was spreading drione dust into carpenter bee holes.

Worked perfectly. Item was damaged in shipping. I called the company, and a free replacement was immediately sent. Nice to deal with a company who is focused on customer service/satisfaction. I highly recommend this company.

The bellow hand duster works as advertised. It's very simple to use. Just open the rubber stopper at the top, pour the powdered insecticide into the bellow, and put the rubber stopper back in. It puffs a little or alot of insecticide, depending on how hard you depress the bellow. I wore disposable rubber gloves, safety glasses, long sleeve shirt, hat, and breathing apparatus when I used mine, as I was using the bellow over my head. I also puffed as much of the insecticide as I needed quickly and walked away, as the dust does become airborne and you don't want yourself or anyone around you to breathe it in. Safety first!

Works well. The fill plug is on the bottom while you are dusting of course, or the dust would just all blow out immediately. And don't forget to place the attached cap on tightly while filling the duster. Since the low-cost is a big plus I have given it a full 5 stars after initially selecting 4 -- a mundane product but everyone needs one. How about 5 or 10% Boric Acid and 90% DE.

We used it all day long - and it worked very well. We are having issues with a neighbor that let her dishes go for weeks because of a depression episode. The house is a rental and the roaches have been a problem since it turned into a rental unit. I have turned the property into the city code enforcement and they have made her clean the property. Once that happened, we used this to apply dust to our joint fence line, then all around my house and underneath in the crawl spaces and air vents. So far - no more roaches.

I used this with Deltamethrin powder around corners, window sills, and 3/8 to 1/4 inch holes in walls. For the hole in wall application the plastic end piece must be removed. I also used it outside, but if there is any wind it can be a bit dangerous because it can blow back at you. In any case it is best to wear a mask. The only trick I found was that it will not always blow out powder if held upright. If the duster is held sideways or even inverted you can usually get it to expel powder. It seems to be a function of how full the duster is. In any case a nice addition to the toolbox.

We use this with the Delta Dust to control ants and carpenter bees. Would recomment a few marbles inside it to stir up the dust when you give it a shake. My last one gave up because I left it out outside all summer 2 years in a row and it is not UV resistant, kind of a dumb move on my part.... This duster can adjust from an ultra fine very small "size of a marble puff" to a stream of pure powder. Takes some practice to learn to use, but after you do this does an excellent job.

I looked for a simple solution to get rid of the Carpenter Bees that had returned to attack my wooden sunscreen. My tall son was able to spray the holes where the bees lay their eggs. All of the bees were gone by the next day. Any bees that will hatch will be killed by the dust that was sprayed in the holes. As always reading and following the instructions is important. Also, reading the reviews is helpful. My order came quickly and well packed.

I have several of these dusters, and most of them are not very good. This one is the best built and it does not leak when you squeeze it as the others do. The clear bellows allows you to see how much powder is inside and that is a plus as well. I recommend it.

I used this duster with the CimeXa powder for bed bugs. It works great; easy to use and does a great job. I would recommend to others who are having problems with these pesky pests.

I'm allergic to bee stings so eradication was a necessity. One application of PyGanic 1% Pyrethrin Dust in the Bellow Hand Duster took care of my yellow jacket problem immediately. The bellows was easy to use and an effective way to distribute the dust.

I am pleased with the product and the shipping and handling were unbelievably fast. It would be great to have something like this in a larger size. I would like to be able to "pump" a powdery pest control product under my house or in my attic. Is there a large size or similar product that would work? This one is good for the out-of-the-way cracks and under appliances. I am pleased with the purchase.

Carpenter Bees swarm my home every spring. This spring I used Delta Dust and the Hand Duster to tackle the problem. It worked and I am so thankful!!! I very seldom find any bees now. The duster allows you to get into the hole they have bore. It worked great.
