Questions & Answers

Is it possible to use this product on bushes and plants?

Yes, it gets rid of ants and stink bugs.

Are carpet beetles killed by this?

Nothing on the container specifies what it will be in charge of. However, beetles are listed in the Amazon description. It worked for me when I bought it for bees.

Do yellow jackets respond to this powder dust insecticide?

Yes! That's exactly what I intended to do with it. I waited until it was dark before squirting a bunch of it into and around those suckers' hole. They vanished without a trace for the rest of my life.

It worked to get rid of wasps and hornets
5/5

I'm not sure if it was wasps or hornets that did it, but I'm confident it worked. However, because it does not kill on contact, don't expect them to be completely gone the next day. For me, the entire process took about 36 hours. This is how it went for me. 1. br>br> Wasps / hornets were constantly coming in and out of a hole on the side of a window over the course of several days.
2. I looked into using foam insecticide, but it stains vinyl siding and doesn't seem to work well in this situation.
3. I ordered this dust-based insecticide because it had the quickest shipping time.
4. I put on a good mask, airtight eye protection, and a long sleeve shirt and stuck my head out the window around 9 p. m. that night.
5. I didn't order a duster, so I blew dust into the container and sprayed it around the hole several times. I'm pretty sure there was some dust in the hole as well.
6. The next morning, I noticed that the white powder had completely covered this very early stage nest.
7. I was dismayed because there were still a few wasps in the area. But then I realized they couldn't land anywhere because there was a layer of powder covering the entire area. They could see that there was no way out.
8. I double-checked the next day in the morning. There were no wasps to be found. I checked several times throughout the day and did not see a single one, whereas only a few days prior, several were constantly visible, tirelessly building the nest. br>br>However, now that I've used this powder, I have two recommendations. 1. br>br> Because it's so fine, it travels with even the smallest air current, so if you're sticking your head out the window like I did, I recommend turning on a fan to your side (don't block the flow) to ensure no powder enters your home.
2. Even if it's a cheap one, invest in a duster. It's just that puffing the powder precisely from the 1 pound container is difficult. That isn't what it was made for.

Yellow jackets have taken up residence within our confines
5/5

When sprays failed, this was used to kill them. We sprayed the powder at night when they are slow moving, and once they crawl through the powder, they are dead. We were able to spray it down inside the wall and kill the hive. It took a few days to get all of them, but I think this is a fantastic solution to a bad problem. These are aggressive wasps that kill our honey bees, and this year they have gotten out of hand.

It worked perfectly! By the next morning, the hornets were no longer present.

Yellow jackets are a type of bird
5/5

I purchased this product to deal with a yellow jacket infestation that was causing a 1/4" hole in my vinyl siding. After dark, I went outside and dusted powder into the hole with a hand duster. I waited 20 minutes and went outside with a flashlight to check, and I couldn't believe the wasps had already started to emerge from the hole. The following morning, the pests were strewn across the ground. I really like this item.

So far, the product has been excellent! I've noticed a significant decrease in the number of springtails we have, and I'm hoping they'll be completely gone by next month
