You must keep out of reach of children and pets. Delta Dust is very safe to use indoors around pets when used as directed on the product label. 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. It is used in cracks and crevices where they do not have access. For a successful program, please take a few moments to review our article on How to Get Rid of Roaches for additional information. We suggest applying the products in our Roach Control Kit along with non-chemical methods.
Delta Dust Insecticide is a great option for use in holes where wasps are boring. This dust is waterproof and will last for up to 7 months in an undisturbed area.
Delta Dust Insecticide can last up to 8 weeks in undisturbed areas and does not have to be applied every time sprays are done. You can apply every other month.
Delta Dust Insecticide can be applied to listed areas for controlling many pests which geckos eat. If treating theses pests with insecticides such as Delta Dust, it should reduce the gecko/lizard population. They are driven to seek food elsewhere. There are no toxic products labeled for geckos, lizards or any reptiles or amphibians, and given the highly beneficial nature of these creatures there is not likely to be any product for them any time soon. The reason they are on your property are because they can find food and proper habitat. Take away their food and they will forage somewhere else. Take away the conditions they need for hiding and they will seek refuge someplace else.
You really have two options here:
1.Exclusion. Total exclusion can be hard to achieve particularly around the roof-line where there are going to be gaps that would be very hard to close off, but there also could be some obvious flaws such as broken vent screens, holes around cables, pipes or wires, or gaps under doors. All of these can easily be closed with brush strips, caulking, copper mesh (Stuf-Fit), or some other suitable material. Exclusion is the best choice, because it is permanent, and eliminates or reduces the problem in the future too.
2.Outdoor habitat modification. In short, get rid of the reasons geckos are there in the first place. They are there because they are finding the food they need to survive (insects) and a place to harbor. If you can eliminate either of these essentials, you can get rid of the geckos. Spray a good residual insecticide such as Cyzmic CS around the outside of your home to help cut down on the number of insects the geckos are eating. If geckos cannot find enough food they will either move on or starve. Eliminate as much clutter and debris around the outside of your home as possible to eliminate the places geckos like to hide. Rake back mulch or rocks at least 6 inches from the structure. If you need to get rid of the geckos that are already indoors the only options are catching them by hand or using glue boards placed in areas where the geckos travel.

If Delta Dust Insecticide is just applied in the attic and not the living areas or areas where people frequent, then there are no time restrictions for re-entering the home. When used inside living areas, it would only be applied to cracks and crevices and it is safe to return to areas once it has settled. Typically just 30 minutes-1 hour is fine.
If you already have the Delta Dust Insecticide, you could certainly use that to dust the area the carpenter ants are coming in and out of along the tree. Any that walk through it will pick it up on their bodies and transfer it through the colony. However, if you have not yet purchased the Delta Dust, drenching the root zone, trunk and activity points of the tree with a product like Dominion 2L would likely provide a more thorough elimination of the carpenter ant colony in its entirety. You can also apply Maxforce Complete Granules around the trees and structure as well once the drenched areas are completely dry (when it is not raining also). Please take a few moments to review our treatment article/videos on How to Get Rid of Carpenter Ants for a successful eradication.
