    Q
    Is Drione dust a repellent?
    I know that Drione dust can kill roaches, as I have used it before for roaches. But I have heard it somewhere that Drione is a repellent, which is not advised to use against roaches, particularly German. Is this true?
    A

    Drione Dust will not repel roaches or other insects when applied as directed. Dust is one of many tools you can use to help control a roach infestation. However, if applied too heavily, then insects may avoid the treated areas. What an insecticide dust like Drione Dust will not do is spread from one roach to another, like you would get from a roach bait gel or a non-repellent spray such as Phantom II Aerosol.

    Q
    Will Drione Dust kill carpet beetles?
    Many Carpet Beetles in my home.
    A

    Drione Dust  is not labeled for carpet beetlesFor indoor carpet beetle control you may want to consider a product such as Nyguard Plus. This product contains an insecticide to kill the roaming adults and an insect growth regulator to stop the harder to kill immature beetles from reaching a reproductive state which in turn will break the cycle of infestation. As an added bonus this product also contains a deodorizer for carpet applications. Please take a few minutes to read our How to Control Carpet Beetles article for an in depth explanation of how to control this pest

    Q
    I have wasp nest in outside vent that goes to my bathroom exhaust fan. Can I use Drione Dust on the outside vent?
    A

     Drione Dust will work great for this, along with a B&G 1150 Bulb DusterAt night after dusk when the bee activity is minimal, dust the area where they are flying in, coating the entry point.   When the bees fly in and out in the morning they will get the dust on their bodies and bring it back into the nestThe bees will pass the dust around and usually within 24 - 48 hours (depending on colony size) the colony should be dead

    Q
    Can I apply Drione dust beneath my radiators? How close to the radiators can I safely put the dust?
    A
    Drione dust should not be placed close to a radiator as it could over heat the product making it degrade more quickly than it normally would, and if the radiator gets hot enough it could potentially cause a fire. You should keep the dust far enough from the radiator to keep the dust from repeatedly getting heated up.

    Q
    I would like to use Drione Dust in my attic. However, I have an attic or "whole house" fan. Can it be used there? If so, how far from the fan.
    A
    Drione Dust should not be broadcast over the entire attic. Instead you should concentrate on dusting the cracks, crevices and voids and other areas where these insects harbor. If you have vents that blow air through the attic and into the home caution should be used to take care the dust is not blown through the vents.
