After insects crawl over the dust, they die within 24 to 48 hours. This product is used to control a wide variety of insects found indoors and outdoors. It is a great crack and crevice treatment to eliminate cockroaches, ants, and more.
When used with a handheld bulb duster, Alpine D Dust Insecticide can be applied deep into harborages, reaching the most challenging pests.
Tools Needed
You will need to use a handheld or power duster is recommended. The insect dust can be applied with the applicator tip on the bottle, but it may not puff dust deep enough into cracks and crevices or wall void areas.
How to Use
- Step 1: Locate areas where insects are traveling and hiding and then calculate the size of the area you wish to treat in square feet. To do this, measure (in feet) and multiply the area length and width (length x width = square footage). Alpine D Dust Insecticide is recommended to be applied at a rate of 0.16 oz. to 0.32 oz. per 10 sq. ft. of area. For if the total area of the sites you wish to apply the Alpine is 100 sq. ft. you would need between 1.6 to 3.2 oz. of product.
- Step 2: Open the cap on the top of the bottle. Alpine D Dust Insecticide can be applied either via the applicator tip on the bottle or a handheld bulb duster can be used. If the bottle is being used, squeeze the bottle to puff the dust out while the tip is pointing or inserted into the areas needing treatment.
- Step 3: If a handheld bulb duster is being used, turn it upside down, remove the cap, and fill the compartment halfway with dust. Place the cap back on, turn right side up and insert the tip of the duster into areas needing treatment, while squeezing the bulb to puff the dust.
- Step 4: The dust will last for several months if not disturbed. Applications can be made as needed.
