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.

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.

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...

This dust is effective on American Cockroaches, ants, and other insects on the target label. Treat floor drains for American Roaches and weep hole for the ants. Lasts a long time and will not wash away. Wouldn't recommend for German Cockroaches in restaurants because it is a repellent. Need Borid or Boractin for those.

I had a yellow jacket nest in the ground behind my house. I found the hole after I got stung. I went out at night and shot a couple of bursts of DF in the hole. No reaction from the YJs. Went out the next day and there were a number of YJs around the hole looking sick. A couple flew out of the hole. Repeated the application that night, shot several bursts right in the hole. The next day some dying by the hole so I gave them another shot. Some days later they are all dead.

Just as good as Delta Dust. As a pro, it's becoming a favorite material, especially in those damp/ wet pest environments where other materials break down rapidly.

Do My Own Pest Control has a great price on this product. Plus be sure to purchase a bellows duster to apply D-Fense Dust orbany insecticidal dust for that matter.For the average DIYer using a bellows duster and one container of D-Fense dust will last for a very long time. Watch an application video here or Utube. This products works sndcwill help in your fight against insect intruders. In using this D-Fense Fust...understand that it is very easy to use far too much. Dust plumbing/wall voids using the bellows duster with light puffs. Overdose can result in what I term as

You people at Do My Own Pest Control are absolutely awesome! You obviously care to go the extra mile to assure great service and satisfaction of your customers. I recently notified you I went on a hunt to locate my shipment due to UPS leaving my package at the post office (a first) and there was a new mailman in my route who didn't bother to deliver my package. I notified you via email, and I received my following package with a notice from UPS stating; Per request of Do My Own Pest Control, we are to leave your package at garage. I don't have a garage, but they left it at my door. Thanks so very much for your impeccable service!

Had some old dust and neded 2 containers to treat my daughter's new house. Had grain weevils in her cabinet bases. Used the D-Fense Deltamethrin Dust and it has gotten rid of these pests in a few days. Worked great & was priced affordably!

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.

After spreading the dust generously in and around basement several weeks ago we are seeing record amounts of centipedes. I had expected an increase in sightings immediately after application but a quick reduction after several days obviously not getting that. The worst thing is they seem very alive and healthy.

Great insecticide. Used it with the B&G Bulb Duster 1150 with great results. One application eliminated 25+ carpenter bees in the 4 active bee holes in my wood deck. Dusted in Fall, when the new bees hatched. Just have to plug the holes.

I was originally going to get the Tempo dust but after speaking with an associate at DMOP,She suggested Delta dust. This is the generic version of Delta dust. I purchased the Long Shot puffer duster with this. It took 6-8 nightly applications over a 10 day period before the nest was completely inactive. There was no rain during this period. The nest was difficult to access as it was underneath a deck with no access. I had to dust the two cracks between the deckboards where the bees were entering and exiting. Where it was "cracks" there was very little for the dust to adhere to. My thought is that EVENTUALLY they tracked enough dust into the nest from the surface to eradicate the nest. I wonder if the Temo dust would've been more effective. Overall, I am glad it worked, The last time we had a pest guy come out it was $110. This was a $50 investment and we should have enough left over for many more applications if necessary.

A few puffs of this dust in the area where yellow jackets were nesting was all that it needed to end our wasp problem.

I used this dust in carpenter bee holes and they now are all gone. I have seen no activity! Also, it was easy to use with the duster I bought with it.

I had a yellow jacket nest in wall of my house. I knew right where their entrance was, went out after dark and sprayed the dust in with no problem 3 nights in a row and it did nothing...they kept on coming. The 4th night I put a ton of dust in the hole and plugged it with tin foil. Somehow they found a way around that also.

I was really upset by this product. I should have noticed how this product scooped when I placed it into my pressurized and hand dusters. VERY DISAPPOINTED.

I poured some of this into a yellow jacket entrance in the ground. It will not kill them immediately but within 3-4 days the nest was dead. Real easy.

Great product/website. Need bulb duster for application, available on their website. Hint (best price on web). You will need to drill hole, apply product and plug hole. I personally used colored snap in screw covers (available at home improvement/hardware stores) with corresponding drill bit; as to match interior of patio doors. Thanks!!!

It was difficult to pour into duster without spilling it everywhere. I use paper clip to open a hole in cone area. didn't work. so I poured the 'dust' slowly into duster, which still covered my counter top. the instructions were glued to the bottle.

Excellent dust product. The best product I've used with my duster. Very fine powder which doesn't create piles or clumps of DE.
