Delta Dust containing 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 Delta Dust, making Delta Dust an ideal crack and crevice
treatment. Delta Dust should be applied with a bellows hand
duster (sold separately) which allows you to easily apply the
dust in hard to reach areas. One application of Delta Dust will
keep on killing insects for up to eight months. DELTADUST
Application Tips: Delta Dust is intended for application with a
hand or power duster (ACTi sol 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 Delta Dust 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 over application 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.
