Good Duster
By Camille on 03/09/2011
The Bellow Hand Duster is easy to use. Lift the top cap, fill with powder product, replace cap and just squeeze the bellows and your powder product comes out. The duster could use a longer extension for hard to reach places. The bellows should be more ergonomic (hand cramps after long periods). Overall a decent product.

Bellow Hand Duster
By Jack on 05/17/2011
Comes out clumpy
By Paul on 05/31/2011
The duster seems to shoot out a lump of dust (using Drione) most times. Have tried it 1/8 full, 1/4 full, 1/2 full, 3/4 full with same results. Maybe I am doing something else wrong? I noticed I need to shake it up or turn it upside down then turn it back right side up (fill cap is the top) to reduce the clumping. Bulb duster may be better, but haven't tried it yet. Drione definitely kills the Carpenter ants.
Works, but could use flexible tip
By Dorr on 06/06/2011
This is a good, reasonably priced product which does what it says it will do; that is, applying insecticidal dusts. However, I'm using it exclusively for carpenter bee control, and the dust must be applied up into their carefully drilled holes. Up, not sideways. The rigid tip on the applicator makes this impossible. This caused an issue for me, but I was able to work out a solution. I bought a length of flexible tubing and duct- taped it to the end of the applicator tip. This allows me to bend the tubing and shove it into the bee holes. It would be nice if a piece of tubing could be included as a free "accessory." Mine cost 54 cents at Lowe's.

Bellow Hand Duster
By Eric on 01/11/2014
Seems like a quality product. I like the fact that the container is translucent, being able to see how much dust is in it. But the container seems too soft; I am having a hard time getting used to it and am delivering too much dust with each application (no matter how lightly I squeeze it). I may try to wrap it with duct tape to stiffen it up, but then I won't be able to see how much dust is in the duster. I guess the jury is still out.

So-So results

Could be better
By Darrell on 04/01/2015
The bellow hand duster works well, but would be better if the metal tubing where the dust comes through, would be more tapered at the end. When you go to use it in small spaces, too much dust comes out. Needs to be more of a tapered end.
Expert response:
You can adjust how much dust comes out of the duster in two ways. First, try filling the duster with less duster. Secondly, adjust the orientation at which you hold the duster: hold the duster upside down, with the black stopper on the bottom, to release the smallest amount of dust.

duster
By Bob on 10/09/2015
????
By Toyia on 02/07/2017
I'm not sure if I did something wrong or not but this duster gave me the flux. Each time I puffed it a cloud of smoke came out but not really enough to disperse in one area. A couple times it actually became clogged and nothing came out. I didn't care for it. It felt like a waste of money.
Expert response:
Thank you for your comments! The point of using a hand duster like the bellow hand duster is to prevent over-dusting and to direct the insecticide right into cracks and crevices where it needs to be applied. You should barely be able to see the dust, and really, you should not see any at all when using it because the tip of the duster should be directed into a void, crack, or crevice. To prevent clogging, be sure your duster is completely dry after any cleaning and use a few small pebbles or coins in the duster to prevent clumping. You can also unscrew the rod at the back of the duster and use it to clean the extension rod.
Please let us know if you have further questions or concerns!

hand duster
By Rob on 03/18/2017
this duster works fairly well but seems to plug up easily. It's hard to tell when it isn't dusting if you have the tip out of view. You just have to tip it backwards to clear the tube and go after it again.
Expert response:
Thank you for your comments! You can also unscrew the rod at the back of the duster reservoir and use that rod to clear out the duster extension from the other side. We appreciate your feedback and your business!
It works!
By Cathy on 03/22/2017
I found this bellow worked as far as blowing it where we needed it as long as it was close by. However, for hard to reach places in the Attic, I found it was awkward. For someone who has arthritis, it was really hard to keep pumping and holding on to it while spraying. Maybe a handle of some sort?
Expert response:
Thank you for your comments! We understand that a hand duster may be difficult to use if you have arthritis. You may want to consider a bulb duster, which is a little easier to squeeze, or even a larger quart duster that works with a pumping action:

Just ok

This duster clogs up quite a bit. I like the grenade duster better than this duster?
Expert response:
We apologize if you had any issues with the duster. We would recommend filling the Bellow Hand Duster only 2/3 full, as well as adding some small pebbles or coins to prevent clumping. Use with the cap facing the ground and gently puff the dust. The included cleaning tool can be used in the extension to clear a path for the dust to disperse. We also suggest using only fine insecticide dust through this applicator

Excellent value
By Vincent on 04/06/2011
There are more expensive dusters on the market and I believe the old saying "you get what you pay for". In this case as a home owner and not a professional, I took a chance on the least expensive and am happy with my choice. Follow directions and it will work four stars good.

Bellow Hand Duster
By Tom on 06/08/2011
This duster works very efficiently in dispensing the Delta Dust powder for the dreaded stink bug. When you apply the powder for the first time with the hand duster you may get a little more than you think you need. After using the duster several times you can easily calculate how much pressure to use on the bellows to get the amount of dust you need.

Bellow Hand Duster
By M on 08/22/2011
I purchased this duster to try and rid my home of carpenter ants. It is very easy to use. Just fill with boric acid, point the "wand", then squeeze the bellow. I did need to shake it or tip it upside down then right-side up to get the fine misty powder sometimes, but it does the job. I'm happy with the purchase price, the ease of use, and the quick shipping. But mostly I'm happy to have found this device because I couldn't find it anywhere in town. Thank you! I will shop your site again.
Takes a bit of guesswork
By Lilo on 09/05/2011
Received item very quickly and in perfect condition. Too bad that there are absolutely no instructions included, so everything is an experiment. Still not quite sure how to adjust stream/quantity but seems to work well. Instructions would help in cleaning also as I'm afraid that the powder entry ports may clog.

Duster works
By Jim on 10/08/2011
Dust Lightly!
By Pat on 12/26/2011
This duster works very well. I'm using pure boric acid at this time, and will probably add a bit of insecticide to it. I find that I have to be careful when squeezing it to only let out a tiny amount at a time, so as to leave an almost invisible coating of the dust, and not a pile here and there. I have been advised by a pest control professional that roaches will not walk into a pile of boric acid or other material, if they can see it they will go around it. So the person using this duster should make sure they are not squeezing too hard and letting out too much. Other than that, it's a great little device and I'm glad I got it.

bellows duster

Great little duster.
By Vincent on 06/26/2012
Works great . BUT! Disintegrated in one year. I stored this item in an outdoor shed in Northern Georgia ( mild winters ) went to use it in the spring and found it falling apart . The bellows just rotted away.However, it worked so well and was so cheep I ordered another for the 2012 season.

Very light application
By Joseph on 08/03/2012
This is a very simple hand duster. I used it to spread diatomaceous earth (which I like to use in lieu of pesticides since we have pets) around our baseboards in the dining room and kitchen. At first, I couldn't tell if anything was coming out, but I held it in front of a sunny window and I was able to see a very fine, light dust coming out of the end. This duster gives you the ability to apply very precise, light coverage.
Does what it's supposed to.
