    Q
    Safe to be inside the house with AC on while delta dust is sprayed in the attic?
    Is it safe to have your Air conditioner on and be inside the house while Delta dust is sprayed?
    A

    Yes, Delta dust is safe when used as directed per the label. As long as you're applying around vents in crack & crevices where insect may enter and not directly inside vents. In addition, Delta Dust should not be broadcast over the entire attic. Instead you should only concentrate on dusting the cracks, crevices, voids and other areas where these insects may harbor.  This would be done using a hand duster like the Bellow Hand Duster.

  • Asked by Danny
    03/09/2011
    Q
    Is this the best dust product for waterbugs along with using a spray chemical?
    A
    Delta Dust is a good choice because it is the only dust that works even when it is wet and it can last for up to 8 months. The American Roach, also known as a waterbug, is rarely known to have large infestations indoors because of their need for high moisture and their slow development. Cold temperatures can drive them indoors but they are usually controlled quite well with insecticides and granule roach baits such MaxForce Complete Insect Granules.

    How can I eradicate yellow jackets in or under a foundation bush?

    Please check out our article "How to Get Rid of Yello Jackets". If you can get close we highly recommend applying a dust like Delta Dust that is water proof and when the yellow jacket comes in contact with it, the dust will transfer from bee to bee killing adults and larvae.

  • Asked by Deborah from Mobile, Al.
    11/21/2013
    Q
    We have discovered a large yellow jacket nest in one corner of our attic which borders the outside wall. The nest is about 20 x15 inches. The nest is located in an area that overhangs our front porch. What is the best way to get rid of these pests?
    A

    We recommend dusting the entry points of the nest with Delta Dust if you know where the nest is located inside the structure. Yellow Jacket treatments should always be conducted at nighttime, when the Yellow Jackets are the least active and least likely to sting. Please also wear protective clothing or a bee suit. Please read the article below for additional information on treating yellow jackets.

    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
    How long should I leave my heat pump off after I apply Delta Dust to my crawlspace?
    We are dusting a 28x48 crawlspace using the dustin mizer and delta dust. The duct work is under house but covered with plastic sheeting on underbelly (double-wide manufactured home). I see that directions indicate to turn off fans, etc and close vents. How long should I allow the dust to settle before I turn it back on?
    A

    Depending on how heavy you apply the dust will play some part in it, but usually you can allow the dust to settle for at least a few hours and it would be fine to resume normal use of the ducts since it is covered by the sheeting.

  • Asked by Michael
    12/28/2016
    Q
    How do I treat wall voids for bed bugs with Delta Dust?
    Been battling bed bugs for quite sometime. I have used Temprid SC at .16 per gallon of water with Gentrol at 3oz per gallon, then rotated to Phantom TI/IT at it's strongest levels as well with Gentrol again.. Took the beds apart, they are in encasements. I have searched every inch of the room and believe they are coming out of the wall. Obviously I need to treat every wall void and only removing 2 outlets on the wall will only treat 2 wall voids out of a possible 16 wall voids... So is it okay to just drill a hole then dust and then cover it with spackling?
    A

    We generally would not recommend creating new ways for bed bugs or other insects to access voids or hide by drilling holes into the walls. A remote wall void would be the last place for bed bugs to go, and they are usually only present there in cases of severe infestations that have been present and untreated for years; you would be able to see bed bugs easily in other areas of the structure. We suggest using Delta Dust or another dust such as CimeXa Dust where you fairly easily treat using a hand duster such as the Long Shot Puffer Duster. (CimeXa Dust is very successful as part of bed bug treatments and cannot break down over time.) Keep in mind that bed bugs, like other insects, wants to stay close to their food source. I recommend taking a few moments to review our Bed Bug Inspection Guide and performing a thorough inspection of the area if you believe there are still bed bugs but are having trouble locating harborage areas. You can also use monitoring tools such as ClimbUp Insect Interceptors or Trappit BB Detectors to help monitor areas where you suspect there may be insect activity.
