    Q
    Would Delta Dust purchased 5 years ago still be effective now?
    Used it to kill bed bugs, and applied it every 6-12 months since for prevention. Got some bed bugs now and dusted it again. Would it still be effective? (Stored it in the original container with the cap on, in the cabinet under the kitchen sink)

    Q
    What is the shelf life of Delta Dust?
    I have dusted a hornets nest about 3 days ago. It was high up, and uncovered under the eve, and I completely covered the honeycombs in dust. It was delta dust I purchased a year ago, and the wasps are still alive. There is NO WAY they can get n the nest without picking up the dust, yet they are alive.

    Q
    Can delta dust lose potency?
    A
    The shelf life of Delta Dust is 3 years from purchase date. It should still be effective during that time period, as long as it was properly stored in a dry moderate temperature area.
    Delta dust can last up to eight months when applied to undisturbed areas. It is 100% waterproof, so moisture will not decrease the efficacy of the product after applied.

  • Asked by Scott from Mineola Texas
    06/12/2013
    Q
    I live at a lake and have a mud dauber problem outside
    Just looking for the best product and procedure to get rid of or at least cut down on them
    A

    Talstar P will kill mud daubers like Cicada Killers that come into contact with treated areas for a sufficient amount of time to receive a lethal dose. You will need to dilute 1 fl oz of Talstar P per gallon of water and broadcast spray over the areas where you have noticed activity. Most folks notice only very limited results from broadcast sprays of insecticides for cicada killers because they don't land and walk around for a long enough time before entering their underground burrow. Please read below for the most effective treatment method:

    Cicada Killer wasps thrive in disturbed environments, such as landscaped yards and places where bare soil is exposed. You can discourage the wasps from nesting in your yard by cutting your grass on the highest setting and by adding a thick layer of mulch to flower beds during the Cicada Killer Wasp season. These wasps do not like over saturated lawns either, so over watering during their season will help prevent them. Unfortunately, there is no fool proof way to prevent cicada killer wasps.For prevention you can try to use a granular insecticide such as Talstar PL  Granules in the couple of weeks before this pest is known to emerge. For current infestations, you would need to use Delta dust in each individual burrow.

    Can Delta Dust be used to treat windows?
    A
    Delta Dust is meant to be used in cracks and crevices and inside wall voids.  It is not labeled to apply out in the open like on a window sill where people could easily touch it.  It is meant for places people cannot easily access it, like underneath appliances and inside wall voids.

  • Asked by Kay from Valdosta, Ga
    02/13/2018
    Q
    Can you place Delta Dust Insecticide inside the couch, like underneath it where the wood is located?
    A

    Yes, you can apply Delta Dust Insecticide in furniture under the cushions, at furniture joints, and behind fabric tacking. We recommend using a hand duster such as the B&G Bulb Duster 1150 when applying insecticide dusts. Be sure that you do not apply dust directly on skin contact areas. Excess dust can be wiped up with a damp paper towel.
