DeltaDust® with DeltaGard® is the world's first and
only 100% waterproof insecticide dust, so it works in the wet and damp places
that insects love.
Nothing short of
running water will disturb it, making DeltaDust an ideal crack and crevice
treatment. It's effective against a broad spectrum of insects at a wide range of
labeled use sites, indoors and out, especially against fleas and ticks in rodent
burrows, as well as around pet kennels and in zoos.
Since its effect is not diminished by moisture, DeltaDust provides
a residual of up to 8 months with a DeltaGard active ingredient concentration of
just 0.05% — probably the lowest of any insecticide dust
anywhere.
What's more...
DeltaDust is odorless, and is an
economical buy --- a standard 1 lb. bottle covers ~2000 sq. ft.
Cannot be shipped to: NY, NJ, CT, VT, AK
Delta Dust should not be the only product used against Bed Bugs as it does not kill quickly. For best results, use a contact kill such as Bedlam in addition to Delta Dust.

Extended Information:
 |
- DeltaDust is intended for application with a hand
or power duster (Actisol® DPA or similar equipment), with a paint brush or by
other suitable means, for hiding and runaway areas and other places where
insects are found.
- In living areas, apply in such a manner as to
avoid depositions on exposed surfaces or introducing the material into the air.
In the home, all food processing surfaces and utensils should be covered during
treatment or thoroughly washed before use. Exposed food should be covered or
removed.
- To apply insecticide directly into cracks and
crevices, use a bulbous duster or other suitable equipment. Apply lightly and
uniformly to infested area. Pay particular attention to: cracks and crevices,
service ducts, floors and ceilings, wall voids, around electrical and telephone
fittings and equipment, around water and sewer pipes, under and behind cabinets,
refrigerators and sinks, around windows and door frames, along baseboards, in
attics and crawl spaces. The amount to be applied will vary with the site but
should usually be in the range of 2-3 grams of DeltaDust per square yard (or 0.5
lbs per 1000 square feet).
Proper Dusting Tips:
- When applying, the duster should be filled only
halfway - no more than two-thirds full. This allows for adequate air space to
create the desired air/dust mixture prior to application. If there is too much
dust in the duster, clumps of dust on treated surfaces may result, leading to
overapplication of the product and messy spills.
- Between each squeeze, the duster should be shaken
slightly to get dust floating inside the unit.
- When applying dust into cracks and crevices and
on surfaces, gently squeeze the duster to ensure the application of very thin
layers of dust. When dusting correctly, you should barely be able to see the
dust emerging from the tip of the duster.
- Before relaxing your grip on the duster, pull it
away from the surface or crack you are treating to prevent sucking up lint,
moisture or debris. Small amounts of these items will eventually cause lumping
and/or clogging of the duster.
- Place several pebbles or small ball bearings in
your duster to keep the dust agitated and ensure than any clumps are broken up
prior to application. Also, always keep the screen inside the duster in place as
this is designed to help maintain a fine dust consistency.
- When treating around electrical outlets, use
dusters fitted with plastic or fiberglass spouts, or place a small section of
rubber hose or plastic tubing over the metal tip to avoid contacting electrical
wires. These tubes will also enable you to reach around corners and beneath
cabinet voids that would otherwise be impossible to treat.
- Carry a small brush and a damp cloth. These can
be used in the event that dust accidentally drifts out of cracks and crevices
and onto non-target areas. Use the brush to push excess dust into cracks, and
use the cloth to wipe up.
- Do not apply dust to baseboards.
- Apply dust carefully and judiciously so it does
not travel to areas where it might represent a hazard. Prevent food
contamination by not applying dust to where it could filter down onto food or
food areas after it is applied. Also, be aware of any air currents that could
transfer dust to containers or other objects, leading to food
contamination.
- If the applicator is to apply any kind of dust
for extended periods of time, he or she should wear a respirator approved by the
National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH).
- When using high-volume or high-pressure equipment
to apply dust in attics or sub-floor crawl spaces, wear a NIOSH-approved
respirator. Also, shut off fans, air conditioners, and hot-air heating equipment
if necessary. If the dust is combustible, put out all flames and pilot lights,
and shut down all spark-producing equipment in the treated area to avoid
explosions.
- When storing hand dusters in a service vehicle,
place them in airtight containers or in zip-style plastic bags. Also, label each
container as to the contents of the duster.
- In general, do not place the tip of the duster in
a moist location or allow the duster to sit in moist environments as it will
absorb water and become clogged. Clogged dusters can be cleaned by scraping out
the spout with a piece of stiff wire.
- Always follow the label when using
DeltaDust.
