    Q
    Is Drione Dust safe around people and pets?
    I have a newborn and two dogs. If we were to buy Drione Dust and treat our house for ticks, can I have the newborn and dogs in the house while treating? If not, how long until we can go back into the house? Also, is it safe to be in the house after treatment with a newborn and two dogs?

    What is the shelf life of Drione dust?

    What's the difference between Delta Dust and Drione Dust?
    Besides being waterproof, what is the difference between Drione Dust and Delta Dust?
    A

    The only real difference is that they are different active ingredients. Delta Dust has an active ingredient of Deltamethrin, and Drione Dust is a 1% natural pyrethrin.  Both are very effective and our most popular dust products that we sell.  They just kill the insect in different ways.&nb…

    Q
    What's the difference between bedbug spray and dust?
    A

    Sprays come either in a can or a concentrate that you mix with water. Sprays need to be re-applied every 7-10 days in most situations. Dusts need to be applied with a hand duster and most last for around 6 months. When you are dealing with bedbugs, it is important that you use both a dust and a spra…

    Q
    I have a swarm of bees (over 2000) that went into a wall through cracks around wall air conditioner.
    Will Drione Dust kill the entire nest? How big can it get in a 4 day period?
    A

    Bees do reproduce but every colony is different and most would not grow too much in size in 4 days.  Treating a colony is actually quite easy if you know where the entry/exit point is.  Drione Dust will work great for this, along with a B&G 1150 Bulb Duster.  At night after dusk w…

    Q
    How quickly does Drione kill bees?
    I have several honey bee queens going into several small holes around the house that were made long ago by termite extermiators. I never saw this happen before. I have some Drione purchased 1 1/2 years ago. I used duster to apply Drione in some of the holes that I have seen honey bees going into. I have seen one bee going in and out several times over an hour or so while I patiently watched apparently unaffected by the dust. I had expected a quicker result. I say they are queens because, except for a few that seem to have settled on a hole, they appear to be examining potential places to call home. They are fuzzy and have some brown or orange color.
    A

    Drione Dust can take time to kill an insect.  The bees that have picked up the Drione Dust from the treated holes will die, but not until the bees ingest the dust.  When bees walk through a hole or land on a surface that you dusted, they pick up the dust on their bodies.  Later, when they groom …

    How much area does a 1-pound container of Drione Dust cover? I would be using it for a wasp problem around the sliding glass door.
    A

    The area that a 1 pound container of Drione Dust covers will depend on a lot of factors.  However, the dust goes a very long way.  Especially for wasps, you only need to apply 1 or 2 quick puffs in the area where they are entering and exiting.  Typically a pound of dust would be enoug…

    Can I safely use Drione dust on a mattress? Under the sofa?
    I bought Drione dust and it says the mattress should be dusted to treat bedbugs but it also says people shouldn't touch it? In a related question, can I apply the dust to the underside of my sofa?
    A

    You can safely apply Drione dust to areas that are listed on the Drione product label. When using on a mattress stick to the tufts, folds, and edges of the mattress and then put the mattress pad and sheets back on the mattress so you do not directly contact treated areas.

    Q
    I purchased Drione Dust in 1999. It still seems to work. How affective is it at this age?
    A

    The manufacturer recommends that you use Drione Dust within 3 years of the date of purchase to ensure maximum efficacy. That being said, Drione does contain Amorphous Silica Gel which is a desiccant that can last indefinitely.

    Q
    How quickly can Drione Dust 'cake up' due to atmospheric moisture if it never directly touches water?
    Will caked up Drione dust remain effective? I have a feeling that Drione dust will be more effective against bedbugs than Delta dust, but I am worried about moisture causing it to become ineffective.
    A

    Your question is really difficult to answer accurately. It will really depend on how much moisture is in the environment where the dust is applied. Drione dust only works if it is dry. Drione dust tends to work just fine without caking in a normal home environment. Both Delta Dust and Drione dust se…
