Drione Dust
Drione Dust is an effective silica-based desiccant insecticide that controls many pests in hard-to-reach areas, such as bed bugs or earwigs. This non-staining product works on contact and provides residual control for up to six months.
09/14/25
Drione Dust, manufactured by Bayer, is a powerful insecticide dust that provides fast control of standard pests like cockroaches, bed bugs, silverfish, and more. Once applied, it will remain effective for up to 6 months, saving you time on future pest visits.
This easy-to-use desiccant features natural pyrethrum 1.0% and amorphous silica gel 40.0%. The latter is produced from sand and erodes the insect cuticle, causing the pest to die from dehydration after two days. It also contains the active piperonyl butoxide 10.0%, enhancing the pyrethrins' success on the toughest insects.
Drione Dust is an excellent flushing tool that effectively pinpoints infestations and breeding sites in hard-to-reach areas for complete pest elimination. When applied, it has no odor and will not stain treated areas, making it ideal for killing pests such as ants in sensitive indoor areas.
Tools Needed
You will need to use a handheld bulb duster or hand duster.
How to Use
- Step 1: Determine how much Drione Dust to use by measuring the square footage of the treatment area. To do this, you will need to measure the treatment areas' length and width in feet and multiply them together (length X width = square footage). To control crawling insects in animal quarters and stored products, use 2 oz. of Drione Dust per 100 sq. ft. of surface area. For severe infestations, apply this product behind cabinets and walls, in crawlspaces, and attics at the rate of 16 oz. of product per 1,000 sq. ft. of surface area. Refer to the label for more application rates.
- Step 2: Drione Dust's container can be used as an applicator, 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 used, remove the cap and fill the compartment halfway with Drione Dust. Place the cap back on and insert the tip of the duster into areas needing treatment while squeezing the bulb to puff the dust.
- Step 4: Apply Drione Dust to cracks, crevices, and voids where pests hide, such as behind moldings, shelves, and baseboards; in pipe openings; behind and under appliances; behind cabinets and walls; and in crawlspaces and attics. The dust will last for several months if not disturbed. Repeat treatments can be made as needed.
Where to Use
Drione Dust Insecticide can be used indoors and outdoors in residential, commercial, and industrial areas. It is ideal for use in schools, homes, apartments, hospitals, restaurants, office spaces, and more.
This product is excellent for reaching hard-to-treat areas under appliances, in wall voids, under sinks, around plumbing or electrical voids, and cracks and crevice areas in furniture, mattresses, porches, attics, and other areas where targeted pests travel and hide.
When to Use
This product can be applied anytime targeted insect activity is suspected or confirmed. It can also be applied as a prevention measure to avoid infestations.
Safety Information

Keith's Pro Tips | "With Drione Dust, a little goes a long way. It's not necessary to apply a lot to dust; you really just want to put down a thin film that's barely visible. Your targeted pests may be repelled by too much dust, so avoid over-applying." |
Product Drawbacks | Drione Dust is not suitable for broadcast applications for indoor areas. When treating large surface areas such as flooring, we recommend using an aerosol spray such as Novacide. |
