The perfect, well made bulb for use with Tempo Dust. Well made and comes with a good variety of tubes and tips for a wide variety of applications. Well worth the money, should last for many years.

I received this product very quickly- only 3 days. The product is made well and strong and sturdy. Nothing flimsy about it. I like the small connected cap for the spray attachment nozzles, however the cap cannot fit on the long skinny nozzle unless it is removed from the connector. I plan to buy another.

This item works great! I stun the wasps with DE instead of spraying with insecticide. Used someone's idea of dropping a couple of metal washers inside to help stir things up when I shake the bulb, then give it a gentle squeeze while pointing in direction of wasps building their nest. They become disoriented and usually fly away. If some return, simply repeat the application. The bulb & additional tubes are good quality and I expect to be using this item for years to come.

I had a major ant infestation. In the ceiling, coming in through base boards, coming in under the stairs etc. I also have decks and crawl spaces that are a perfect place for them to gain entry. It takes only a few minutes to figure out how to use this duster to get the best "spray". With the different attachments I can get inside openings in my open beam ceiling, in small spaces between the floor and base boards and dust several feet out under my deck and in the crawl spaces. I can also dust the walls easily. Love this thing!

I use this to blow Evergree Pyrethum Dust which is OMRI approved into house walls that have yellow jacket nests. Works great. Nice to have this equipment that can deliver this organic product to its target area.

Good quality build and materials. The attachments are very handy although I wonder if the narrowest of the tubes put out enough dust. All the instructional videos say it would but I'm very inexperienced and like to see the powder coming out. Need to keep shaking to keep dust flowing but that's with any duster, not a complaint.

I was previously using the little green bulb, which constantly leaked and over dusted. I finally broke down and bought this one. It's amazing! Does not leak, holds a lot of powder, and puffs a very light mist of dust (depends on nozzle attachment--I use the smallest one). I highly recommend this duster.

Great Product

Was this review helpful to you?  YesNo

I purchased a red bulb duster, with a brass tip. It's well made, but the fill-hole is too small. I purchased the 1150 duster because it's also rubber, and it has a larger fill hole. But one must make sure that they only fill it half way, or it won't work. My only dislike of this product is the soft plastic tips. Metal tips wouldn't wear down as you drag the tip across the areas being dusted. I hope you will change your tips in the future, because those soft plastic tips won't last. I already destroyed one tip from dragging it across the top of the baseboards inside of my home.

I used the B&G Bulb Duster 1150 to use insecticide dust powder to treat wood eating bees. The problem with this bulb duster is that it only works good if you fill it full of powder. If it is half full it will not work. So if you don't have enough powder to fill it ,you can't use it.

I love my Centrobulb (hope it's back in stock soon- need a new one in the near future- nah! -next time i'll make it a case), don't get me wrong. BUT, now my love of great dusters is torn, because- once owning, using, & becoming familiar with this duster (& having incorporated it into my applications), i love it too! Superior product. No wastful, messy, unlawful & undesirable product over-application with this one, when used correctly/ as instructed. Note: ALWAYS be familiar with your dust insecticide. Some dusts tend to clump more than others, & may require marbles, pebbles, etc, to prevent clumping. If clumping/ clogging continues to be an issue, MAKE SURE YOU'RE STORING YOUR DUST INSECTICIDE PROPERLY/ AS PER LABEL. Is your dust being kept dry? Has it been/ is it being exposed to moisture?

I had a large active yellow jacket nest in the ground. I tried spraying them several times and flooding. My tenants were getting stung and my landscaper and handyman' dog were run off! The duster and powdered pest killer was effective. 15 minutes and BOOM! Gone.

I have had a recent, ongoing problem with silverfish in my house. My cat is very allergic to chemicals, so I did not want to have my house sprayed with chemicals to eradicate these bugs. I bought this duster bulb to fill with diatomaceous earth to spray under kitchen and bathroom cabinets and around the perimeter of closets, etc. I bought food grade DE, so as to not harm my cat and grandkids. The duster works VERY WELL!! I am very happy with it - it is easy to use and gets the product while it's needed. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND these duster bulb!!

Product was as described. Does the job it was designed to do without any problems. Wise decision.

My only complaint is the way the duster performs. I did watch the website video and it seems like it should puff out more dust . If you tip it just at the right angle it works better. A friend who has used this product suggested putting some 3/8" nuts into the bulb to break up the powder. Makes sense to help break up the powder, but it still seems to be weak on the output. I'm just a novice so maybe with practice it work better.

We purchased this bulb duster to use with Tempo 1% pesticide to hopefully eliminate our wasp problem inside the siding of our house. It worked well and allowed my husband to "spray" it into the underneath of the siding. He wore a bee suit I purchased elsewhere as the wasps did swarm around him as he had to get close up to the area. The duster worked and was very easy to use. The pesticide came out with each squeeze of the bulb and we followed directions by not overfilling it. Worked great! Very thankful to avoid the $200 + for a pest control company to come to our house.

Our company continuously uses all B&G products because of reliability and the quality. Highly recommended for do it yourself applications and professionals. Also the employees in Norcross, Ga office were very helpful and knowledgeable!

Works exactly as described. Will continue to use if needed. Would of gone 5 stars if they included some plastic gloves in package as well.

We have a house that has newer windows and we have tons of trees. The tracks in the windows were a spiders haven. I was always cleaning spider webs off the outside of the windows and it was so annoying. Finally I found the B&G Bulb Duster! I filled it with High Yield Multi-Use Dust and puffed it in the window tracks and a plate at the bottom of the window track. Wahlah! No more spiders so far. It has been two weeks and my windows are still clean. Fingers crossed, but I think I have found my remedy!

Great product works very well I would recommend it to friend's and family

Unit is complete with everything you need for its purpose. Well constructed--not a cheap looking or feeling unit. As with any duster, I would recommend putting two marbles (normal size) in the bulb and shake it almost every time you go to puff it. It is perfect for shooting in holes/cracks where you can't shoot straight in. I'm pleased with the unit.

This is a well made duster. The attachments work great to apply to different areas. I used mine to dust borax under cabinets and in fine cracks around the house. Roaches be gone already.

This allows me to address small infestation problems fast while they are small problems. Deterrence is far easier than evictions :-)

The rubber B&G Bulb Duster 1150 is a durable, premium design compared to some of the plastic bellows type puffers that I saw online. I followed the instructions and only filled bulb half full with Tempo 1% dust insecticide. I had to shake the bulb between puffs to keep dust flowing but it delivered plenty of dust to get the job done. Holding bulb at about 45 degrees downward seemed to work best. Extension tube attachements are included for hard to reach areas. FYI, I forgot to bring the extension tubes with me to a site. So I duct taped 2 plastic drinking straws with flex necks onto the bulb and that also worked great! I used the bulb duster on two yellow jacket nests so far. One below ground and one overhead in a house soffit. The bulb duster performed perfectly both times! FYI, apply dust at night and use a work light stand. The dust weery yellow jackets attacked the work light stand and did not see me! In both cases I used Tempo 1% insecticide dust and the nests had zero activity the next morning. I did not get stung and I am very happy I chose the rubber B&G Bulb Duster 1150 and Tempo 1% to get rid of my yellow jacket nests!

While I don't yet know the results from the chemicals that I ordered, the Duster works great, and easy to use. Don't try it on a wet or damp day, though.

We'll made. Worked well. The applicator tips could be a little longer.

I purchased the B&G Bulb Duster 1150. When it arrived it sat on the dining room table a couple days. When the package was finally opened it was noted that there were no plastic tips! I reached out to Do My Own about the missing tips, expecting a lot of runaround as it was about a week after receiving it. On a Saturday, I sent them an email, on the very same day I got a response that they would send me the tips ASAP. That's on a Saturday folks. I can't be happier with the Real Customer Service from Do My Own!!! It is such a rarity these days to get true Customer Service I am so Happy! Thank YOU - Do My Own rocks! P.S. the duster and Tempo 1 took care of the wasp nest underneath our cedar siding.
