    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.
     
    We have more tips on controlling this pest in our guide How to Get Rid of Roaches.

    Q
    How do I apply Drione Dust behind shutters?
    A

    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 works terrific in treating bees. With the application of Drione dust in the holes, the adult bees will pick up the dust and transfer it into the holes to the larvae.

    Q
    Would any honey found in wild hives that have been treated with Drione Dust be good for human consumption?
    I have a neighbor who had an exterminator spray a few honey bee nest in her barn with Drione dust about 7-9 months ago. The bees are still active. I am considering going remove the bees and put them in hives. Do I need to destroy all honey and comb as I remove the bees?
    A

    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.

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

    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.

    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 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.

  • Asked by John from Washington Dc
    09/16/2011
    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.

  • Asked by Catherine from Kansas
    09/18/2014
    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.
