    Since flood we have palmetto bugs
    Since flood two years ago we have had palmettos each year I have counted 10 and 12 respectively. That's 22 too many. And yes they are palmettos I wish they weren't. Please list everything I need to buy to rid myself and prevent future bugs. Also I have two feral cats that live under my house and 8 cats that live inside along with a teaching squirrel. (Pet squirrel used for school visits and off times is a pet. Their lives cannot be endangered.

  • Asked by Jeffrey from Hauula, Hawaii

    Q
    How to treat inside hollow concrete block walls for roaches. Beach house in Hawaii on ocean.
    I have tried everything, even tented the house but the enamel paint on the walls prevented penetration of gas. Place is clean, tight, no garbage problems, and I have used powders in attic and interior walls, built on slab. They have moisture from the ocean and humidity, and food might be old dead comrades in the walls. This has been going on for years and in summer they come out in numbers and die on floor...stink up the place, seem to stay inside walls mostly during rest of year. I am thinking of drilling holes at intervals and putting a cap in the hole for treatment access. Have caulked many gaps, still have a few trim boards to do. Spray(cedar oil) and worse stuff and gel every 3 months, exterior granules and spray. Roaches not infesting inside house, come out of walls and die on floor...scares the vacation renters. What can I put in these walls that will fume the voids? I am afraid to let up on the treatments and have not tried stuff that gets carried back into the walls...they die before they can return. Need a roach expert guru opinion.
    A
    There is not a product that can create a fog within the wall voids. Using an insecticide dust such as Delta Dust is the longest lasting treatment for voids since the formulation is very stable. This dust is also moisture resistant. You can use residual sprays along baseboards and baits in cracks and crevices up high. You can also place glue boards in areas where you have seen activity to better identify what kind of roaches you are seeing so that you can better tailor your treatment.

    Q
    Bedbugs help!
    I already know that this dust should only be used for cracks, crevices, etc. But, I have bedbugs in my living room and my sweeper does not do a great job at vaccuming the eggs up. Is there a good spray or dust that will cover all of the large areas as well and kill pretty much all of the eggs, adults?
    A
    Delta Dust Insecticide works great for bed bugs in wall voids, such as, outlets, etc. We highly recommend and have had great success with our Bed Bug kits.   Please also, review our article How to get rid of Bed Bugs.

    Q
    How long does it take to kill bed bugs?
    A
    The kill time of Delta Dust Insecticide can vary depending on the age of the bed bug and other environmental conditions. However, it typically takes 3-7 days to kill bed bugs once they cone in contact with the insecticide. Delta Dust should not be the only product used in the fight against bed bugs as it does not kill quick enough.

    Q
    If I only have a very small location to use Delta Dust, can I apply directly from the tip of the bottle?
    I have wasps entering a exterior electrical outlet so I was going to place it around the outside perimeter of the outlet.
    A
    Delta Dust is intended for application with a hand or power duster, with a paint brush or by other suitable means, for hiding and runaway areas and other places where insects are found. We recommend removing the cover on the exterior electrical outlet and using a Bellow Hand Duster to apply the Delta Dust inside the electrical outlet and the areas between the outlet and siding. Without getting the dust inside the outlet, we can not predict if the Wasps will come into contact with dust if it is just applied around the outlet. When treating around electrical outlets, use dusters fitted with plastic or fiberglass spouts, or place a small section of rubber hose or plastic tubing over the metal tip to avoid contacting electrical wires. These tubes will also enable you to reach around corners and beneath cabinet voids that would otherwise be impossible to treat.

    Q
    Will 1lb of Delta Dust treat a basketball size Yellow Jacket Nest?
    I have a basketballl sized yellow jacket nest that I plan on using Delta dust to treat entrance and then inject into nest (in attic). Will 1lb of product be enough for this endeavor?
    A
    A 1lb bottle of Delta Dust is enough to treat 1,000 sq feet. When applying, the duster should be filled only halfway - no more than two-thirds full. This allows for adequate air space to create the desired air/dust mixture prior to application. If there is too much dust in the duster, clumps of dust on treated surfaces may result, leading to overapplication. Please refer to our Article "How to Get Rid of Yellow Jackets" before treating for safety tips and proceedures.

    Q
    Is Delta Dust Insecticide effective for killing roaches? I have an incredible problem.
    A
    Yes, Delta Dust Insecticide is effective for killing roaches. Delta Dust Insecticide would be best used in the wall voids. You cam remove the faceplates of your electrical outlets and dust inside the wall voids. However, if you have a roach infestation we would highly recommend our Roach Control Kit #2. This professional kit includes 1 packet of Demon WP Insecticide (which makes 4 gallons of finished solution) for spraying the outside perimeter of the home and inside underneath appliances, behind cabinets, under toilets and sinks, etc. You'll also get 4 x 35 gram tubes of Invict Gold Roach Bait Gel--one of the best roach baits on the market. Invict Gold can be applied up high in the kitchen in the corner of cabinets and in cracks and crevices in kitchens and bathrooms. The bait contains a slow-acting poison that attracts and kills feeding roaches, who also spread the bait to other roaches by contact or by sharing food. Finally, 20 Gentrol Point Source stations provide an IGR (Insect Growth Regulator) that will stop roaches from laying eggs, helping to halt the infestation. The combination of an IGR with roach bait is a highly effective roach control strategy that is widely used by pest control professionals. Demon WP must be applied with a 1 gallon pump sprayer, like the Chapin 1 gallon sprayer.

    Q
    Apply to Kitchen Electrical Outlets
    I plan to apply delta dust with a duster to all electrical outlets in my house, after removing the outlet covers. I'm curious though, I have 3 outlets in my kitchen that are right above the counter space...is it ok to apply the delta dust to these outlets. One of these outlets experienced a fair amount of ants last year. I guess I'm a little nervous about dusting that close to a food space even though I'm dusting into the wall void. Maybe I'm being over nervous with my first use of this product. :-) Finally, do I need to wear a make and gloves when using the duster?
    A
    Yes, Delta Dust can be applied to all the outlets in your kitchen, as well as in your home. It is not necessary to wear gloves or a mask. Make sure that you are doing a light dusting in these areas so that the pests will walk through it and dry out. Since it's in the wall voids, it will not affect your food.

    Q
    My 50 pound dog licked a carpenter bee most likely killed by Delta Dust. Should I be concerned?
    A
    If Delta Dust is inhaled or ingested in large quantities your dog could have an adverse reaction to the dust. In small quantities, like licking a dead insect, you most likely would not see any reaction other than sneezing as the dust could be irritating to the mucus membranes in the nose and mouth.

  • Asked by Mdj from Philadelphia, Pa
    05/28/2015
    Q
    Which is the most powerful bed bug repellent
    I know about the options for non-repellent treatment (like Temprid SC, Phantom, etc) but I really need a repellent solution: I'm only getting bed bugs from one source - through the wall of a neighboring house (the person who lives there is very old and doesn't want to combat the bed bugs!). So I want to spray a repellent along that side of my house.
    A
    We do not carry any products that will repel bed bugs. If you share an adjoining wall with someone who has bed bugs, we would recommend using a dust, such as Delta Dust, in the wall void if you can put anything under the baseboards. This is a long term treatment for bed bugs, as well as various other pests as well. You will do a thin layer on the floor so that the bed bugs walk through it and dry out. This is not instant and should be done every seven months. This could be a possible solution so that they do not keep coming into your unit.
