Delta Dust Insecticide - Questions & Answers

Yes, Delta Dust is labeled for roaches and works great.  However, you typically will see better results by using additional products along side the Delta Dust.  You should apply dust underneath appliances and inside wall voids in the kitchen, but you should not apply dust openly into cabinets and drawers.  Our most popular product for the cabinets and drawers that is safe to use around food handling areas is Advion Roach Gel. Below is a link to a great article on the best treatment for roaches.

Yes, Delta Dust is perfect for underneath and behind appliances as well as in wall voids and cracks and crevices.  All of these areas can be treated without removing any food from your kitchen.  Of course, you would not want to dust in the open if you have food sitting out on the countertops exposed.

Yes, Delta Dust is very safe to use indoors around pets and children. You should keep children and pets out of the room while you are applying the product, and then it is ok to allow them to come back in once you are done.  Of course, you want to use common sense and not dust out in the open or inside the parrots cage, but if you apply Delta Dust into the areas specified on the product label, (cracks and crevices, under appliances, and inside wall voids) there should be no issues.

Delta Dust is an excellent product choice for treating a bees nest.  If the bees are in a utility room, there must be a vent or opening where the bees are going in and out.  The key to treating the bees nest is to apply the dust where they fly in and out.  You would want to apply early in the morning or late at night when the bees are not as active.  Go up to the opening and just apply two quick puffs and walk away.  Wait a couple days for the bees to pick up the dust when they go through the opening and spread it around to the other bees in the nest.  You should open the utility closet once you no longer see activity going in and out of the opening the bees were using.  You may have to dust twice to completely knock the whole colony out.  Repeat the same steps again if need be.  You should wear a basic dust mask when cleaning only as a precaution.
