Drione Dust
Drione Dust
Drione Dust, manufactured by Bayer, is a powerful insecticide dust that provides fast control of common 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 pyrethum 1.0% and amorphous silicia gel 40.0% that produces from sand and erodes the insect cuticle, causing the pest to die from dehydration after two days. It also contains the active ingredient piperonyl butoxide 10.0%, which enhances the pyrethrins success on the toughest of 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 contains no-odor and will not stain treated areas making it ideal to kill pests such as ants in sensitive indoor areas.
Tools Needed
To apply Drione Dust, 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 and multiply them together (length X width = square footage). To control crawling insects in animal quarters and stored product, 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. To get rid of drywood termites, apply 1 lb. of product per 1,000 sq. ft. of floor area. To get rid of fleas in lawns, basements, and crawl spaces use 16 oz. of product per 1,000 sq. ft. For example, if you calculated a treatment area of 150 sq. ft., you will need to apply 3 oz.. of Drione Dust.
- 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 being 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, baseboards; in pipe openings, behind and under appliances, and behind cabinets and walls, 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 of 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, cracks and crevice areas in furniture, mattresses, porches, attics, and other areas where targeted pests travel and hide.
When to Use

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 thin film that's barely visible. Your targeted pests may actually 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. |
