Customer Reviews for Dustick Deluxe Kit w/ Duster Top, Aerosol Top and Scraper Tool

Overall the kit worked fairly well. There are a few things I would like to see changed to make it better. On the poles themselves only the terminal attachment to the end has a push button snap. This needs to be on all of the poles. As it is now, if you try to turn the pole for a better angle, the poles slip and the terminal attachment slides around. If all of the poles were fixed to each other with the push button snap, this would not happen. The aerosol top needs some work. The lever on the top that pushes down on the button of the can will not work on most wasp spray cans which is what it would mostly be used for. I had to rig a rubber "button" on the underside of the lever to allow it to reach the can button well enough to spray. Also the can attachment will only shoot 90 degrees to the pole. This means you need to be directly under the nest when spraying. This can get exciting. The attachment needs to have the ability to swivel out to at least 45 degrees so you can spray at an angle. The duster top and the scraper worked well and really have no complaints there, other then needing the poles to not slip around. Overall the kit did the job with some effort and "MacGyvering" to get ti to do everything I needed.

Not really happy to tell you the truth. I have been using the Dustick for my business for quite some time and the standard kit without the attachments has paid for itself over and over and over again. Normally I am a straight duster when it comes to nests. Its cheap and easy and does the job, end of story. I attempted to use the aerosol attachment tonight and was just flat out disgusted that I even spent the extra money on it. I set up a can of wasp freeze on there and went to work. I was 20ft. under a very large nest. I put the can all the way up there and tried pulling the string. With the sway of the poles (I know they were trying to go light but when you get that fourth attachment on there it starts getting like a circus act) and the added weight of the can attachment it took 2 of us to be able to pull the string without ending up with the can 2 feet from where we wanted it. Once we got this part down off we went and guess what? We both got SOAKED in wasp freeze. As the previous poster mentioned...you have to stand DIRECTLY under where you are spraying. The wasps didnt bother me much dropping dead all around AND ON me, but taking a bath in Wasp Freeze sure the hell did. Stick with the regular stick and buy the scraper tool. Mine has paid for itself over and over again. Until they do something about the aerosol top its gonna sit gathering dust for me.

The plunger is the same as the old dust stick and the poles are the same but the top part that holds the chemical is plastic. Not made as good as the old one

Very top heavy when fully extended making it hard to place tip in bee hole. Once in the hole you need to hold carefully with one hand and then pump with the other. This motion makes it hard to remain in the hole. Once you master this aspect you still need to know that it's a very small amount of dust that comes out. Overall very disappointed. If you're a pmp try the birchmeier dr5 with the XL8 extension, pricey but easier to use and more dust.

I had to order a replacement canister because the original one stopped working after I refilled it, I think it was clogged up, I tried to unclog it but wouldn't work after only 2 years

It’s kind of flimsy and the poles do not lock together. They just rest on top of each other and the duster is weak and inconsistent.
