Customer Reviews for Drione Dust

Dusted area of infestation in a log cabin. Put dust in between the logs and checks. Kills almost instantly. Ants came pouring out and died. Continued coming out and dying for a day or so. Am going to use a ground solution and gel to be sure under the cabin in the crawl space to be sure eradicated.

I bought this after doing research on the computer.the pest stuff you buy at stores does not have enough pesticide to kill anything really.all those major brand names are nothing.this is what you need.i sprayed it on some different insects and nothing moved after 5 seconds .and not one bug around my house.only bad thing is it did not ship when it was supposed to.but they refunded my shipping.I will always use do my own pest control.make sure you do the right measurements

I have been struggling to eliminate the Red Wasps. I could always slow them down but never get the nests I used Drione powder spraying under the shingles and cracks around the house concentrating where I knew was thier paths. Results from one application. No wasps in garage or house And very few in tbe yard. Very sucessful

This is our second purchase of Drione Dust. We have found it very effective for black carpenter ants.

In 2000, I bought a cedar log house that was 10 years old and we were the 5th owners! Previous owners had neglected the carpenter bees and every spring/summer there was a virtual black cloud of them that hovered around the whole place! My kids used to chase them with tennis rackets for fun. I tried using various insecticides sprayed on the wood or mixed into stains applied to the wood, but they were not effective since the bees don't actually eat the wood, they just chew holes in it. I started using Drione Dust applied directly to the bee holes in the logs with a bellows hand duster and the results were almost immediate. Within a couple of minutes, females were abandoning their nests and dozens of them were falling helplessly to the ground. I have been diligent in using this product annually and as-needed. The key is perseverance since these guys come back to reproduce where they were born. Today I have virtually no carpenter bees to speak of and it's no problem to treat the occasional invaders on a spot basis. Drione also works GREAT for carpenter ants! I found a colony between the logs inside a little used coat closet recently. I forced Drione between the logs with the duster and within 15 minutes there were hundreds of little ant bodies scattered all over the floor of the closet! I'm sold!

I used Drione Dust with the bellow hand duster this summer to control dozens of cicada killers. The products seemed to work effectively, but time will tell. This will be an on going battle because I am sure I didn't find all of the tunnels to kill off the larvae. On the recommendation of other customers, I put some small pebbles in the bellow duster and that seemed to help keep the dust from clumping.

Excellent product. Was looking for a dust to use for bees was discouraged when the one we wanted was not available for sale in NYS. I emailed customer service and they directed me to Drione. No more bees!! Just wish i tried this before the several sprays and foggers that worked but did not eliminate them. Drione worked wonders inside and outside well worth the money and would of saves us lots had we tried it before the sprays. Recommend it to everyone and will be purchasing it again next spring.

I had bees all over my house, in the eaves, behind shutters, in the walls... I paid an extermintor $200 a couple years ago to get rid of this problem. I did it myself this year for less than a quarter of that price. Worked great! Make sure to get the pump for it also.

Within one day of using this product, my bee hive was gone. I call it the miracle dust. Nothing else worked. 100% satisfied.

I ordered this for my sister who lives in a high-rise. The apt. manger keeps fighting bed bugs from her apt. and many others. The spray they were using was not helping I ordered this for her after reading about it and she put it down everywhere, under the bed, around baseboards literally everywhere in the apt. Two times a day she would sweep up the dust from under her bed and there would be 3-5 dead bed bugs. She did find that a chair in the living room was where they were nesting and she threw it away and just kept the dust down religiously and she would find them dead everywhere so this does work. She is now bedbug free. However, since she lives where this can be an ongoing problem she is going to keep the dust down all the time around the baseboards and around her door.

The Carpenter bees started coming out this weekend and in preparation I had dusted the holes a few weeks ago. What a difference! I noticed dead bees all over as the dust was more than they could handle. I am impressed so far. We'll see how this keeps up.

I have a cedar log home. The carpenter bees were destroying it. One application of Drione with a bellows duster into the holes got rid of all the flying bees. Will most likely have to apply again when the eggs hatch and grow into bees. This works very fast.

A little complicated, here's the short story. We have a 10 foot tall railroad tie wall that bees have found as a haven. This is not good since we have people working and walking by there. First application Wednesday night was a little messy, my fault with the new bulb applicator. Thursday morning check, no activity (good). Return to location Saturday afternoon, some residual bee activity, reapply dust much better than the first time Saturday night. Sunday morning check, no activity (better) . Looks to be the best product for this situation, I have tried many. Sorry bees and bee lovers, if we didn't have people there, it wouldn't be a problem. We have tried hives and everything else to get them to relocate.

I purchased the 1 lb drione and now I just purchased the 7 lb pail. In Florida we get very tiny ants in the kitchen and bathrooms. After using Drione I no longer get ants. Now I apply monthly and do not have bugs and it's safe for my toy dog.

Yellowjackets had burrowed a nest next to a bush, and some research suggested Drione Dust was the best remedy. Being fearful of the wasps, I used an old turkey baster to blow the dust down into the nest hole at dawn, then ran away. Within a few hours, no more activity. Expensive stuff, but worth it.

I had Yellow Jackets nesting underneath my vinyl siding. I bought the wasp/hornet spray which does kill them on contact, but only the ones around the entry point for a day or two. Because I could not see exactly where, or how large the nest was I did some research and learned about Drione Dust. I was able to apply the dust (with a below hand duster) into the opening where they where entering and exiting through, as well as between the overlap of the siding segments. The following week some additional wasps were hanging around, so I reapplied the dust again and haven't seen any others. Once It seemed that they were gone, I sealed the openings.

We found a wasp nest behind the siding and tried to eliminate the wasps but wasn't successful until we spray Drione dust into the tiny holes that the waps used. One treatment and we haven't seen a single wasp since.

Used this to get rid of some hornet nests inside walls. Applied it using a Bellow Duster late in the evening and next day no more hornets. There's enough product for 50+ applications. Definitely worth it since it will cost you a couple hundred for a professional.

Use at a K-12 school works very well. Kills yellow jackets very well. Word of warning once you dust the yellow jackets they go crazy. About a day later they are all dead.

This stuff works! I had bees inside the wood siding on my house and tried sprays to kill them and it didn't phase them. So I bought this after reading the reviews. Put two applications in the hole and the bees are gone!

I purchased drione dust to combat a yellow jacket nest in a floor void. First, i tried using your typical spray can aerosols to no avail. After much frustration, i turned to the internet for help and came across this product and figured i'd give it a shot. Best decision i ever made and worth every penny! With just one application i wiped out the entire colony in 24 hours. The next day i checked the area for activity and all i found were dead, dust covered yellow jackets all over the ground. I will be purchasing the 7lb pail in the near future to dust my attic and the remaining floor joist voids to prevent this from happening next summer.

I loved this product so much, I bought another one. It worked perfect for the carpenter bees in my log home. I also purchased the bello duster and plugs that I have not used yet.

The carpenter bees were returning for another run at the house this year, and I puffed some of this into their existing holes. The bees came out and died. That's what I was looking for. I went and puffed a bit more in a week later and nothing. Haven't seen any around the house. This Fall, I'll fill the holes, and hopefully that will be that. Worth every penny.

I used it yesterday. There were lots of bees between gutter and wood on south side of patio. They started to bump and make noise around gutter and flew out. Only saw one today. I plan on putting steel wool in area between gutter and wood.

This is the best product we have used to get rid of the carpenter bees that have plagued us for years. It exceeded our expectations. It is easy to use and not harmful to us. We have been telling everyone about Drione and highly recommend it.
