Customer Reviews for Centrobulb Duster 12 in. Extension

Bought this in 2009 and have no regrets. Holds a lot of dust and is very forceful in getting the dust in crevices - my particular application was the soffits of my home on the second story no less! The extender is high quality brass metal. The curve at the end is great to be able to angle where you want the dust to go. Much better than those little hand dusters. One caution: upon release of the bulb after squeezing, be careful that debris in the crevice does not get drawn back into the bulb.

I bought this to use with the Delta Dust so I could stop carpenter bees from ruining my kids' wooden playset. The extension tube made reaching the holes easier, as did the curved tip. This duster is very heavy duty rubber and I was glad it wasn't something cheap and breakable. Holds a surprising amount even when only half full. Glad I won't need to keep refilling everytime. Getting the hang of squeezing the right amount of dust does take attention and practice. I didn't want to make the dust pile up at the opening of the bee hole and not get down into the tunnels so I squeezed lightly/moderately at a medium/slow rate. It also worked better for me when I held it upside to use it. It must have been effective because there has been no bee activity since I used this with the Delta Dust.

This centrobulb duster is a great product for using your dust products. I learned about this product because my exterminator uses it. The shape of it is perfect for reaching under baseboards. I'm definitely buying this product so that I'm able to exterminate on my own.

Ordered this to apply diatomaceous earth. Arrived quicker than the earth. Seems heavy duty, both rubber and metals. Filled about half full, it applied a fine layer quickly and easily. I tested it on some small beetles and ants passing through a bathroom. No more bugs. Powder will stack on the mechanism and fall off when you pull it out of bulb. Makes a small mess. Fine product. Fine service.

Every year we have yellow jacket nests in our kids play areas. I bought this as a replacement for my homemade bottle duster. Works 10x better, especially dusting holes in the ground where the bulb has to be held vertically. Extension helps too. Solidly crafted. Strongly recommend.

I purchased this along with Drione dust 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. Get the extensions!!

As a matter of fact, don't even bother asking for an insecticide duster unless you plan on getting a look like you just stepped out of a U.F.O. This product works as advertised. Had ants swarming around and in a tree, and this products took care of them. So far so good. I highly recommend this product. Built to last and comes with an extension. Thanks DoMyOwnPestControl.com!

This product works EXACTLY as it should. Unlike certain lesser all-plastic dusters that I've seen, this one does NOT leak dust where the cap attaches to the body. There is nothing wimpy or fragile about this duster. The only thing that MIGHT go bad on it (after MANY years, with reasonable care) is the rubber bulb, which could get brittle and crack (as all rubber products will, eventually)--but with reasonable care (don't leave it sitting out in the sun for ever & ever, or expose it to extreme heat), it should last for many years. A first class piece of professional quality equipment, well worth its high price!

I bought the duster to put a lot of dust in to a hive that was behnid the side panels of my house. Due to the location the only place to put in the nozzle to spray was right up against the roofline. It was nearly impossible to get it to put out any heavy amount of dust as I couldn't ever really get it sideways or upside down. I ended up holding it up side down and getting quite a bit of dust (probably 5-10x the amount of dust) in to the extension and then keeping some pressure on it held it up to the roofline and sprayed away. If you can hold this in a way that it's up side down it works great but holding it upright not so much. In the end I found a small rubber hose and connected it to the end and was able to hold the bulb upside down and put a lot of dust in that way. A flexible extension allowing this would have worked really well. Another hive made it's home in my water meter and as I was able to hold the bulb perpindicular to the ground it put out a lot of dust. All in all it took me a few days and some jerry rigging but I saved myself a bunch of $$ so I'm happy I bought it.

This duster is absolutely the one to purchase if you are looking for a good, sturdy, versatile, reliable duster. We have used to apply Drione, Tempo, and DE dust and each product is applied smoothly with this item. A nice fine dust [which is what you want with these products] is applied with one quick squeeze. There is no clogging as there are with the other dusters we have tried. The bent tip makes it even better to reach under places where bugs like to hide. This item is so good that we purchased a second one just to have as a spare. Other dusters are less money. This one is worth every penny.

I've used this product previously as a professional pest technician with a major company. The only thing that would make this better is having a screen inside the cap to help break up clumping material.

I love this tool! The 12" extension makes this tool so easy to use. It delivers a nice light dusting in either the upright or downward facing positions. I can control how much product is delivered by how hard and fast I compress the bulb. I do have a bit of leakage between the bulb and metal top when using the tool in the downward facing position but that is easily controlled by using two hands. I purchased the tool to deliver diatomaceous earth indoors and on plants. It works so well, I've been telling all my gardening friends about it.

The Centrobulb Duster did not work as I expected. The duster repeated got clogged. I should have selected something else.

I used this duster to hit two yellow-jacket nests that were behind siding. The duster worked well when held horizontal or lower. When I used it upright, hardly anything came out. To hit areas where I needed to hold it upright, I would turn it horizontal and puff it to put dust in the tube, and then hold it upright to hit the area. I would get one or two puffs upright, before I had to repeat the steps. I shook the duster often during the entire process. I was not completely thrilled with the duster, since it is supposed to be able to dust correctly at any angle, but I would buy it again.

Excellent tool for dusting bees. This duster is well made and heavy duty and should last a long time. The angled tip works great to puff the Drione in several directions to make sure you get to the bees. Awesome product and well worth the very reasonable price!

Our friend who is in pest control suggested we buy this product to use with his "pest powder" to use to rid our wood covered house of bees and wasps. The pests would crawl up in between the wood and make their nests. You could hear them buzzing in between the slats of wood. This Duster worked very well...the long extension fit great between the wood and shot the powder in and all the bees and wasps would soon fly out. We would highly recommend this Duster.

We ordered the Centrobulb Duster w/12" extension when we ordered the Drione Dust to exterminate ground nesting yellow jackets. My wife had been stung once, so we order both items. She used the Duster in the ground entrance as well as dusting the inner part of the spruce tree, which was above it. It worked, and still have no bees!

Excellent duster. I use it for diatomaceous earth, and it works great if you give it a tap every few dusts. Holds a lot more that all other smaller size dusters, perfect for home greenhouse and garden use. When filled it lasts longer because of the efficient dusting with each puff. I've tried six other small dusters and this is the clear winner by a lot

The Centrobulb duster worked well both vertically and horizontally. This is a quality product. You just need to tap the bulb when the dust clears the applicator to reload. This product was delivered timely (within 5 days) and was packaged well. I will use DoMyOwnPestControl again!
