I got this to take care of carpenter bees. It was easy to use and effective. Problem solved after one application

we had yellow jackets getting in our house and this worked much better than delta dust. We just waited till night time and went out and poured some of this right at the hive entrance in to our house. Over the next few days we had a pile of dead bees as they were leaving the hive. Worked perfectly!

This stuff works wonders. I saw in on YouTube with an exterminator and decided to try it. Works as advertised. I used it on ants with great success. I also have used it on a mud dobber's nest. Great stuff!

This was the only thing that effectively got the yellow jackets out of a small crack in my siding. We tried the sprays, foams and anything else you could think of (short of prying the siding off). This worked in two applications! I wish I'd have purchased it sooner. I will be keeping it on hand from now on.

This killed the wasps immediately. I dusted around the nest in the late afternoon and then came out in the morning, and the wasps were all dead. It worked thoroughly and immediately.

I had yellow jackets building a nest in the walls of my garage (got access behind a light) and sprays didn't work. So I tried Delta Dust and that too didn't get them. I thought the next step would be to call an exterminator and have them cut into the wall, kill and remove the nest. I got a few quotes from exterminators but the 4th suggested this stuff (they use it), and said it might take 2 applications. But after only one application, no more yellow jackets.It's expensive but it's a lot cheaper than an exterminator. Plus only a little bit was needed to do the job, so I have more in case it ever happens again.To apply the dust, I used: Bizzy One Pest Control Powder Duster/Larger 8OZ Diatomaceous Earth Bulb Duster/Powder Applicator/Garden Applicator/Bulb.Note: I also used 2 Packs Wasp Trap - Solar Powered Bee Trap Outdoor for Yellow Jackets, Hornets and Wasps - Durable Wasp Killer and Bee Killer to catch the yellow jackets that were out of the nest with a simple sugar water mixture as the bait.

I found some yellowjackets building a nest under an old azalea near the walkway to my house. Poked around for a solution on google, and a number of sites suggested Drione Dust as the best way to handle a ground nest. Unlike a wasp nest hanging from an eave, you can't just spray an underground nest from a doorway 30ft away. This stuff basically gets doused all around where the pests are coming and going. Over the course of a few days, they get it stuck all over themselves as they move around, pulling it down into the nest. It took about three and a half days and two applications for me, but I haven't seen a single yellowjacket since.The bottle comes with a little nozzle on top, but I highly recommend picking up a "puffer" as well. It's a but more money, but it allows you to blow this stuff all over the ground from a couple of feet away. That means you're less likely to get it all over yourself in the process.For yellowjackets, be sure to apply it late at night, in the dark. If you need a light, look for a red-light flashlight. They'll be asleep, and you can more safely apply it. Wear gloves and a mask, and be sure to stand up-wind; if your puffer is working well, it can make a cloud of this stuff that blows around when you're applying it.Once down, the white power pretty much stays where you put it until it rains. Cover as much of the entrance/exit areas of the nest as you can, and any brush around it to ensure they come into contact. Then just wait. It should not only kill the nest, but also help prevent new pests from moving in after the fact.If you have kids or pets, be sure to keep them away (both from the pests and the dust.)
