Sbestily Bug Treatment Powder Bulb Duster Diatomaceous Earth Applicator

Worked really well and is nicely made. Someone cared when they designed this, hard to find quality like this these days.

For some background, I've been fighting with carpenter bees. For some reason they've been multiplying in numbers the last 5-10 years, and turning all my stuff into Swiss cheese. I've tried the wood+glass traps with limited success; I get a few bees per week, but after 4-5 years of having them hanging, I wasn't getting more than a few dozen per season. So I decided instead of using a passive approach of hanging traps near their hotspots, I'd be a bit more proactive. They seem to repurpose the holes year after year, going deeper and deeper into the house, deck, fence posts and anything else, so I decided to dust the holes. HUGE DIFFERENCE in effectiveness! When looking at applicator products, I knew I wanted something with a latex base and metal tip to mist food-grade, harmless-to-human Diatomaceous Earth ("DE") up into every bee bore hole I could find. While it's a little cumbersome to fill, and becomes slightly less effective at misting when it's less than half full, it does a beautiful job of misting the DE up into the holes. Within a day, I started seeing carpenter bees laying around the yard, finely misted in white dust, dying. It was quick! What usually Best part is: No chemicals harmful to me, pets, or other wildlife. No issue of collateral damage to other pollinators like mason bees or honey bees. And because the bores are protected from the elements, the dust stays up there and keeps working. I'm 3 months out from lacing the 60-70 holes I could find, and my boring season this year, which normally lasts through August, is already over. My kids have noticed already, they're annoyed and/or scared of the hovering carpenter bees all over the yard ... it's rare to go outside and see one anywhere this year. If you're having similar problems with carpenter bees, you want to get a grip on it, and you need a simple but effective product you think will last a few years (although I don't see myself needing to re-apply based on how effective it's been!) this is definitely a product I'd recommend time and time again. Although, with these all-caps-random vendor names who knows if "YIBAO" will still exist by the time this thing wears out, if ever!

Works great for what I need and it is very small.

Great duster for the price. Good for small areas.

I picked up this Bug Powder Duster to treat a few stubborn areas around the house with a powder pesticide. First off, it came with a collapsible funnel and a measuring cup, which was a really thoughtful touch. Filling it up was totally hassle-free. No mess, no wasted powder....just pour, close, and go. Once loaded, I gave it a squeeze and was surprised by how much powder it delivered with minimal effort. It gets the product deep into cracks, crevices, and holes, exactly where pests love to hide. The nozzle was long enough to get into tight spaces, but not so long that it was awkward to handle. The duster itself feels sturdy and well-made, and I get the sense it’ll hold up well over time. Highly recommend for anyone dealing with bugs and using powdered pesticide.

excellent puffer

I bought this to kill wasps above ceiling between floors. Was able to get powder through drill hole in ceiling; however, to get only 1 scoop of the Delta powder into the hole took about 1000 squeezes.

Works well. Make sure you tighten the end cone nozzle tight. My first one came off and I couldn't find it so I had to buy a new unit.

Great handy tool for dusting diatomaceous earth. One kind of has to learn to use it or it can blow out too much. Bought two more - one for someone else.

Fonctionne très bien pour étendre la terre de diatomée. Belle qualité. Livraison rapide

My project: I needed to puff some boric acid into my ceiling to get rid of carpenter ants. I filled the bulb with tablespoon of boric acid (the amount I needed for the job), tipped the applicator up into the hole in the ceiling and squeezed, but the contents just sat at the bottom of the bulb and never shot out. The tube extends about 3/4" into the bulb, but doesn't reach the bottom of the bulb where the powder lies. It turns out you need to fill it more full, but not completely full, and instead of squeezing the sides of the bulb, you need to push on the end of the bulb. This eventually gets the powder up near the base of the tube and into the airstream so it will in fact "puff" out the nozzle. Instructions would have been nice to have, but there aren't any (hence 4 stars). You can't try to use it like a turkey baster when using dry powders.

Comes with everything you need to be able to take a powdered insecticide and apply it as an aerosol. I am very new to this approach and still am experimenting. However, the measuring cup and funnel that comes with the product made it so easy to get started. My one tip is to remember to shake the bulb vigorously just before applying to the infestation to maximize its effectiveness. My only regret is that I didn’t purchase this sooner as it would have helped previous attempts tremendously.

This is a professional tool, incredible quality. Very much appreciate it! Thank you for including a cap on the top so it’s easy to store with powder inside as well. 10/10
