ASPECTEKSafe and Practical Insect and Ant Killer Powder Sprayer, Powder Duster with Extension Nozzle for Diatomaceous Earth and Other Dust or Baits

Who likes powder all over? No one. And this is not the perfect delivery system for diatomaceous earth, but it is way better than any other I've found. It's low tech and effective. I use it under the tiles on my home. I can focus the stream of powder under the shingles. I wash off the powder that has hit the foundation, and then I use it where the foundation hits the earth. It helps. I have to use it a few times to really control the ants that I'm competing with, but it is effective. I use it in the kitchen, too. When they find their way in, I find their trail and use diatomaceous earth where they enter the kitchen. I live with as much d.e. as I think I have to for a few days, and then wipe it up. It's organic, toxin-free, safe for my dogs, and I'm winning. I'll do what it takes to keep all those things going, and this little delivery system helps me do that.UPDATE 8/2/21 I still use this thing and the d.e. still works. I have to reapply after heavy rain where the ants are ... what's the word ... most tenacious. But after the reapplication, they go away again. It's worth it to me to not have poison lying around anywhere. It's a pretty clever delivery system and it works. I think there was a little red tip on mine when I got it; it works better without it, I think. More d.e. And when I apply it, now, I poof the d.e. under my bottom shingle and let it fall to the foundation so it's actually a twofer. If enough hits the space between the shingle and the ground, a whisk broom (sometimes a wet whisk broom) does the trick.

No one likes using chemicals, but when I saw this apparatus, I bought it I only put in a quarter of the size worth of ant powder turned it upside down to get a very light puff to come out and I dusted my perimeter of my kitchen hallway and my bathrooms this is a great little tool if you’re concerned about putting too much Ant powder in your house

Pretty cool little item. Able to inject diatomaceous earth DE) into small cracks and to "puff" it around areas where bugs can get in. I used this outside around a potted plant that was being infested by small ants - the next day they were gone! Wet weather negates the effects of the DE but you can always re-apply when it's dry outside. You can also use it in a basement or under cabinets. It makes applying DE much easier.

I had a yellow jacket nest in my defunct chimney by the front door. They were getting in through a tiny crack in the mortar and I hadn't been successful in getting wasp spray into the crack. After some research, and a few painful stings, I found this puffer and some powdered insecticide. I went out at night and the little tube was perfect for directing the powder into the crack. I gave it a few good puffs, then waited for the next day. I never saw any yellow jackets going in or out after that, and more importantly, spared myself getting more painful stings.As a bug lover and bee keeper, I respect our little stinging friends and this was a last resort as I had to walk past their entrance to get into my house. I like that this puffer directs the insecticide only where you need it to go, reducing any collateral insect deaths. And it kept me from being exposed to the chemicals as well. A+.

This duster got the job done but it requires a lot of fussing, rotating, many tries, patience. I needed a cheap solution to a one time use in small area. It worked and it was cheap. But it was not a good experience.

Seems to work well, so far haven't seen any ants

Constantly clogs. After every push, I have to turn upside down, bang it several times while pulling the bulb all the wall open again. It is at this point when the DE actually decides to actually come out. If I then hold the Duster sideways, at about a 45° angle, with the tube upwards at about 30°, I'll get one push out of it, and have to repeat the entire process over. I use it for dusting my plants and corners of my chicken coop with Diatomaceous Earth. I tried this using only a small amount of DE and it did the same thing.Useless. Not even worth even sending back.

This product works well. The distance and distribution are good.
