Details

D-FENSE DUST is a ready-to-use insecticide dust which exhibits effective knockdown and residual control against the pests listed when used according to label directions.

D-FENSE DUST can be used for residual pest control in and on buildings and structures and their immediate surroundings.

D-FENSE DUST is intended for applications with hand or power duster, with a paint brush or equivalent means, to hiding and runway areas and other places where insects are found. In living areas, make applications in such a manner as to avoid depositions on exposed surfaces or introducing material into the air.

In the home, all the food processing surfaces and utensils must be covered during treatment or thoroughly washed before use. Exposed food must remain covered or be removed.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

To apply insecticide directly into cracks and crevices, use a bulbous duster or suitable equipment. Apply lightly and uniformly to infested area. Pay particular attention to cracks and crevices; service ducts; false floors and ceilings; wall voids; around electrical and telephone fittings and equipment; around water and sewer pipes; under and behind cabinets, refrigerators and sinks; around windows and doorframes; along baseboards; in attics and crawl spaces.

WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including crystalline silica which is know to the State of California to cause cancer. For more information go to https://www.P65Warnings.ca.gov

    Didn't Do The Job

    By Anonymous on 06/30/2013

    I purchased D-Fense Dust mainly for scorpions. To test it's effect, I caught a scorpion, placed it in a container & sprinkled Dust on it. 24 hours later, the scorpion was alive and well. I don't know how well it works on other pests, but it has little or no effect on scorpion.

    Bed bugs be gone

    Verified Purchase

    I have never slept so well. I am extremely happy with this purchase. I have been battling bedbugs for almost a yr now..and finally after so much cleaning and throwing away, and cleaning some more I gained some peace of mind. I'll still use it as directed, but very happy I purchased it.

    Ground hornets

    By Mark on 09/13/2013

    Had to remove wooden walkway to locate nest entrance. Got stung once but did locate entryway. Previous to this application of dust through walkway cracks proved unsuccessful. When applied directly into hive, D-fense worked well. However, this is not "fast acting". Took 3-4 days before nest went dormant. Did get the job done...

    No effect seen on scorpions

    By Ml on 09/07/2017

    I'm dealing with Arizona bark scorpions. I put one in a jar that I had lightly dusted with D-Fense. No effect after a day, so I dusted lightly again. No effect after two days, so I dusted again... by which time the bug had visible amounts on its back. After five days still no effect. Another reviewer here had similar results. I wonder why this is labeled for scorpions.

Q
We bought D-Fense Dust and want to know when to appy it to yellow jacket nest in the ground.
A
D-Fense dust can be applied to any active yellow jacket nest. We do recommend that you wait until late in the evening to do the application as the yellow jackets will be less active and less likely to sting.

Q
Will D-Fense Deltamethrin Dust harm cats if used outdoors and they come in contact with the over spray?
A
Yes, D-Fense Deltamethrin Dust is very safe to use indoors and outdoors around pets and children. You should keep children and pets out of the room/area 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, but if you apply it into the areas specified on the product label, (cracks and crevices, under appliances, and inside wall voids) there should be no issues. D-Fense Deltamethrin Dust can be harmful if it is ingested by animals. D-Fense Deltamethrin Dust can stay active for several months after the application. We will say that most animals will not eat D-Fense Deltamethrin Dust because there is nothing to attract them to the dust and it would be extremely drying to the inside of their mouths if they did try to eat it. Still, it is best to contact your veterinarian if you think your pet ingested D-Fense Deltamethrin Dust. We have linked the product label and the MSDS in our answer so that you may print them out to give your veterinarian.

Q
Why is D-Fense Dust ban in NY?

is it because is a health hazard?

A
D-Fense dust is not banned in NY.  Pest control professionals in NY are allowed to use it.  We just cannot sell it to unlicensed professionals.  It is not our choice.  New York lawmakers have passed laws that do not allow homeowners to use professional products.  To find products that are approved to ship to NY, please see our New York product page.
