Customer Reviews for Delta Dust Insecticide

Ordered this to handle some wasps that were burrowing under my concrete steps. I was seeing lots of dirt piling up with wasps coming in and out right by my front door. Applied some Delta in a hand duster and problem solved! Will definitely be using this around the house for all my wasp problems. For reference, the pest companies wanted $150 for single applications (they want you to get on contract), this proved better results in one application than i've had from subsequent "professional" applications.

We had been combating Acrobat ants on the front porch that were nesting up under the siding. Companies we talked to told us to use attractants which we tried for a month with no help. Gave up on those products and decided to use this Delta dust on the front porch with a duster. Worked like a charm. Dead ants are falling out of the area they had tried to nest in up under the siding.

We had a very active wasp's nest inside a brick wall. Couldn't miss the hole used as the entry/exit point for the nest due to the "bee-line" of heavy traffic. My husband was spraying them with canned spray, when he literally ran in and asked me if I had any more of that powder I used before on the ground nest. We had Spectracide granules on hand, but he said, no it was more of a powder. I had purchased a very similar 'white powdered dust' product a few years ago. Couldn't remember the name or where it was purchased from, but I do recall that it was pricier than this delta dust. Then I came across this site. Ordered the powder and below applicator. Within a few days the shipment arrived. In the late evening, at dusk, sprayed the delta dust right at and also into the opening. Didn't want to spray a heavy clumping because I did not want to deter the wasps from using the opening (my fear was that they would move further into the wall and somehow end up creating an opening in an interior wall or into the attic. Didn't want to just do a light dusting, like I would along an interior base board either. Ended up with a visible coating around the opening's walls, but no clumps, then I sprayed twice into the opening. Stopped at this point, because I didn't want to prolong my time, and figured I'd apply again a couple of days later. Noticed some slow activity the very next morning. Was unable to keep an eye on it for the remainder of the day, but following, no activity at all. Worked with only 1 application. Glad to have extra dust on hand though just in case we find other nests. Also am planning to spray the perimeter of the attic ... just in case they did move up the wall and because last autumn, we noticed a number of stink bugs up there. Hoping this helps to put an end to that issue too.

Second time ordering Delta Dust. Shows no mercy to ants and carpenter bees. I had purchased the bulb duster with my 1st order, recommend buying one of those too.

My daughter recommended this product to me as I was having trouble with ants. Everyone in Florida, sooner or later has ants. The stuff my former exterminator used never worked. The stuff in the hardware stores is just as bad. It has taken some time but I now have 2 days ant free. A little bit goes a far way with the bellow/puffer

I have many trees on my property that are leaking sap and the hornets and yellow jackets absolutely love it! I heavily coated the spots on each tree, pulled up a chair and watched the magic happen! No exaggeration the Delta dust has killed thousands :) I have tried many things to erase these pest over the years, even thought of cutting down the trees. Delta Dust = Miracle

Wasp had made a nest inside a soffit of a covered patio. After some research, I ordered a blower and this dust. Just after midnight I blew generous amounts of this dust into cracks and crevices of the nest entry. By noon the same day, there was very little activity, and by noon the next day, there was no activity. After a week, still no activity, caulked the entrance.

I had a three year old garage fascia board infestation of carpenter bees - numerous holes. I applied one application of Delta Dust in mid May, just prior to egg laying. Four days later there were no bees. I'll plug the holes in about another week, three weeks after application. If new holes appear, I'll apply again. So far I'm very pleased.

Used this for Carpenter Bees. They were everywhere and no spray would work on these guys. I bought the Delta Dust and dusted the holes one evening. The next day I found TONS of dead bees and kept seeing more and more dead ones. I now have 0 bees!!!!

The product is great! I bought a few years ago and I purchased again! It takes care of ants, bees etc. We not only use the product ourselves but my daughter and father-in-law do also. After seeing how well the product works why switch to something else. Great company and great product. I will continue to purchase again.

This is the best stuff yet for the notorious Carpenter Ant. It also deals with spiders and other bugs. ++++++ The white powder is tacky looking - , but, worth it.

We had a wasp nest behind the siding along side the door to our deck. The wasps were always active as we used the doorway. Eventually, I got stung on the ankle. I got right on DMOPC.com because I had ordered insecticide a few years ago for a camel cricket problem we had and was very pleased. After some research I ordered the Delta Dust with the Bellow Hand Duster. My husband blew the dust into to opening one evening and we have not seen another wasp since. Worked like a charm and we can now enjoy our deck again with no worries! Thank you DMOPC! You have helped us save 100's of $$$ by doing it ourselves!

I bought this in order to deal with a carpenter ant issue. On the first day the ants were done. Easy to use. Will recommend to friends.

I do avoid reviews and the follow ups for what I do think! Anyway, having these so called crazy ants, etc. really bug me and the pest control people no action. It also was on TV here in Wesley Chapel, no way to get rid of them. I did buy 2 of the Delta Dust with the the product to put the dust into. For real I have not seen crazy ants or the sweet ants. I also have told many people about your place, even the pest guys! This product does work, killed ants that enter the window. The pest people did know of Delta Dust, they don't use it. Why? It is costly and they also did not know it is water proof for under the drains! The reason I did write the review for you and Delta Dust! Also get that small green product to use, it is cheap and work good.

Over the years, I've bought a few terrific produts from DMOPC. Origionally for a black widow issue I had , then a spring tail nuessance, and of course fire ants now and then being in Texas. Long story short, all of their products are so effective and most are non-toxic if used per labeling, I decided to perform preventative maintainence on my home. After doing a bit of research, I discovered Delta Dust to have the longest lasting residual of any dusting product, even if it gets damp/ wet. Short of running water, deltamethrin is one of the best products for the money for it's lasting residual. It worked out great in my weep holes around the outside of the home. I'd pump dust in one weep hole, and 3 and 4 holes down you could see a light cloud of dust escaping, which proved to me the total coverage the dust could cover with just one light application so I went inside and dusted in any wall voids, under tubs, etc, etc. And lasting 8 months or so per treatment...I'm confident in it's ability to do it's job of simply maintaining my property by eliminating any pest issues before they even exist. The money I've saved over the years has paid for the products in itself by eliminating a need to pay for an exterminating company. Basically with one application of the product...it's paid for itself, but you still have plenty of product left to do it yourself for years to come.

I had carpenter bees really bad. I used the Bellows hand duster to blow Delta dust into each hole I could find. After a couple of days, fewer bees were flying around. I watched where they went and found holes that I'd missed. Dusted them and now there are NO carpenter bees. I had wasps going under the siding of my mobile home, and two days after spraying dust at the bottom of the siding, there's only an occasional wasp trying to get in there. I'll do another application for them. Thank you for this product.

I had a pest professional tell me "you can not do anything to get rid of carpenter bees" in our newly purchased investment property. My husband's solution was to just tear down the deck that was infested. It had not been maintained or treated for a while!! The bees were bad!!! I didn't believe the pest control professional and I did NOT want to see my husband tear down the deck, so I started doing research on my own and I found this website and this product. After reading all about these bees from various websites, I decided to purchase this product and take care of the bees myself. When I tell you we had a minimum of 30 bees that would swarm you when we walked out onto the deck, I am probably under estimating. I bought the centralbulb duster as well, and loaded it with some dust and went over EVERY hole in the deck, and there were a lot of holes and crunching noises coming from the railings!! The next morning, 20 bees dead! And they continued to drop. It has been 3-4 weeks now and no more bees after only 1 application. Now the deck can be enjoyed again. In the fall I plan to plug the holes once I know they are completely gone. Bonus, you do not have to use a lot of the product for it to work, it will last a long time and you'll have plenty leftover if any more decide to make a home in your wooden deck or siding!

We have those typical pesty California bees that hover around and always join you when you eat outside. It was a huge bee nest - they had bored inside a retaining wall made of pressurized 4 x 4's. Everytime I used a wasp-type spray product, they simply found a new way in and out. The Delta Dust and the Centrobulb Duster with extension rod did the trick in just one night! I applied it amply, and I wore extreme protective gear. (By the way, several years ago we hired a professional to clear a nest from the hollow of a tree and he used the same Delta Dust product! The tree is still alive and well; the bees were killed.) My $$ investment at DoMyOwnPestControl was wise, as I spent less $$ in killing off one nest, than I would have by hiring a company. And now I have the tools to fight the next inevitable nest. 1. Mark your nest during the day. 2. Make your attack several hours after dark. 3. Protect yourself well. Wear two layers of clothing (They will sting through blue jeans.). Use duct tape to close the ends of heavy gloves and your pants legs. Wear a hood. Protect your face with netting. Duct tape the netting to the hood. etc. etc. etc. 4. Use a flashlight minimally. They are excited by the light.

I struggled to eliminate a yellow jacket nest inside a wall behind siding having tried several liquid spray products. None worked for longer than a day. I wore protective gear and found the locations of entry and used Drione Dust and within 24 hours the bees were gone. I'm confident with the risidual dust in there they will not return. Great product.

My husband had been fighting yellow jackets that had made a home in the outside wall of our house for months. We ordered the delta dust and bellows duster. Both products worked great. After a couple dustings they have bit the dust. We called and were told exactly what we needed, ordered it, and received the products promptly. We'll definitely keep ordering from DMOPC. Thanks.

After several attempts to kill a swarm of yellow jackets in a retaining wall - using several different products - we ordered Delta Dust as a last attempt to kill the pests. On the first application, literally hundreds of yellow jackets were dead outside of the wall the next day. We re-applied a week later and haven't seen another yellow jacket since. Easy to use, great results.

I used Delta Dust against both carpenter bees and all kinds of spiders and had great results. A young lady across the street had a house full of c/b's and it took the Delta Dust about two weeks to get the job done but this was a huge nest. I used a puffer and it didn't take allot of D D,I used the puffer per directions. I'm very happy with my products. Thanks!

I have used this item. It seems to have worked. I put it in all the hole that I seen. If I seen another hornet I would check for holes and put the stuff in it also. I would recommend this product.

We dusted the baseboards as a double protection method, after the exterminator went through. It provided us with peace of mind. My fiance put on goggles, long sleeved shirt/pants, face mask for mouth/nose, & gloves when applying it. It poofs out kinda funny & sometimes it'll get clogged & you have to shake it to get it to unclump inside (put a penny in it to help break up the clumps if it's a recurring problem), but it's still effective. I had to wash out the lid once, cause it got stuck in the tiny hole we cut out, but it only happened once. It got on my fiance's & my skin a little bit. We both washed our hands immediately. I had no reaction, but my fiance's skin turned red & itchy. It went away later & no problems occurred (just don't scratch it, cause the discomfort will last longer then). My eyes would dry out around the stuff, which is why he wore goggles, even tho his eyes were fine. It's really quite safe, if handled per instructions. ALSO, keep your pets in another room when applying!!! They'll walk up to what you're doing & breath in a mouthful of this stuff cause it poofs up sometimes as you apply. Once it has settled (we waited 10-15 mins), it's totally fine. Our cats haven't even so much as sneezed since applying this weeks ago. All in all a great product, for a decent price! Thanks for this Delta Dust!
