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.
We have more tips on controlling this pest in our guide How to Get Rid of Roaches.
Drione Dust should not be stored in a vehicle for long periods of time. You should keep the lid on at all times and keep it away from moisture and high temperatures (below 90) preferably in a cool dry place.
If you are looking to get behind shutters and deck boards and plan to use the Drione Dust, then you want to go with the B&G M1150 Bulb Duster. Though dusts work best in cracks and crevices, holes where you see insects coming and going etc and not in areas where there is not a surface for it to settle on. Typically spraying around and behind shutters where you can reach would be best for most pests. Cyzmic CS is a great option to use. We also have a great general pest prevention guide that can help in the long run as well.
Drione Dust is not labeled to control cluster flies, if you are looking for a dust that will treat both you can use EcoVia WD.

We cannot recommend that honey be collected and consumed from a bee hive where Drione Dust was used since this product is not labeled for use on any kind of edible plants, animals, or animal products.
Drione Dust is not labeled for carpet beetles. For 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.
Drione Dust will work great for this, along with a B&G 1150 Bulb Duster. At 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 nest. The bees will pass the dust around and usually within 24 - 48 hours (depending on colony size) the colony should be dead.
