Me vs. ants. This is war.
Who likes powder all over? No one. And this is not the perfect delivery system for diatomaceous earth, but it is way better than any other I've found. It's low tech and effective. I use it under the tiles on my home. I can focus the stream of powder under the shingles. I wash off the powder that has hit the foundation, and then I use it where the foundation hits the earth. It helps. I have to use it a few times to really control the ants that I'm competing with, but it is effective. I use it in the kitchen, too. When they find their way in, I find their trail and use diatomaceous earth where they enter the kitchen. I live with as much d.e. as I think I have to for a few days, and then wipe it up. It's organic, toxin-free, safe for my dogs, and I'm winning. I'll do what it takes to keep all those things going, and this little delivery system helps me do that.UPDATE 8/2/21 I still use this thing and the d.e. still works. I have to reapply after heavy rain where the ants are ... what's the word ... most tenacious. But after the reapplication, they go away again. It's worth it to me to not have poison lying around anywhere. It's a pretty clever delivery system and it works. I think there was a little red tip on mine when I got it; it works better without it, I think. More d.e. And when I apply it, now, I poof the d.e. under my bottom shingle and let it fall to the foundation so it's actually a twofer. If enough hits the space between the shingle and the ground, a whisk broom (sometimes a wet whisk broom) does the trick.

No one likes using chemicals
No one likes using chemicals, but when I saw this apparatus, I bought it I only put in a quarter of the size worth of ant powder turned it upside down to get a very light puff to come out and I dusted my perimeter of my kitchen hallway and my bathrooms this is a great little tool if you’re concerned about putting too much Ant powder in your house

Powder Sprayer
It does a good job of putting down a barrier of diatomaceous earth against roaches. But there is a lot of powder that gets inhaled, which can cause silicosis in the lungs. So wear a tight fitting mask.

Perfect tool for my situation!
I had a yellow jacket nest in my defunct chimney by the front door. They were getting in through a tiny crack in the mortar and I hadn't been successful in getting wasp spray into the crack. After some research, and a few painful stings, I found this puffer and some powdered insecticide. I went out at night and the little tube was perfect for directing the powder into the crack. I gave it a few good puffs, then waited for the next day. I never saw any yellow jackets going in or out after that, and more importantly, spared myself getting more painful stings.As a bug lover and bee keeper, I respect our little stinging friends and this was a last resort as I had to walk past their entrance to get into my house. I like that this puffer directs the insecticide only where you need it to go, reducing any collateral insect deaths. And it kept me from being exposed to the chemicals as well. A+.

Easy to use
This is my first time using a powder duster and it looks easy enough to use, which should be a plus, except when it clogs.I am going to guess that all dusters clog at some point but it's frustrating when they clog while you are actually using the thing and want it to work right.Overall this thing holds a lot of powder, leaves a good line for barrier of ants or filling in cracks. I used it around the outside of the house and porch and inside under cabinets, around the doors that exit outside and in the garage. So far, no bugs have turned up alive or dead, but I also spray Demon WP 2 times a year inside and outside.I wanted this duster to use with DE to kill fleas, which a colony of feral cats have brought into the yard. I'm not sure if there are fleas anymore and I surely can't apply any medication to the feral cats, so I am hoping that dusting has helped to eliminate this problemThis little thing I want to mention is easy to use. Fits well in my hand and isn't too hard to squeeze but if you squeeze it too hard the powder puffs out faster causing dust. The little cap on the end of the tube stays on well to prevent any powder coming out if you store it with powder inside. Not a bad idea for dusting really, as I can't imagine how to get DE around the house without something like this.

Glad i bought it.
I have always taken handfuls of diatomaceous earth and wiped in on the brick outside my house to keep the tiny crazy ants from coming inside. Wind and rain would remove it. Plus I would get it all over my kitchen even when being careful. With this duster, I am able to shoot the DE directly into the tiny pinholes and cracks in the mortar between the bricks. Every day I would go back out and see what new hole they were using. I also use it inside around the windows and openings in the sheetrock under the sink where the water lines and drains go through. This has been the best year ever in regards to the any battle. I haven't had any inside because I have filled all those tiny holes and it stays dry and safe from the elements.

Piece of junk
When I used it the first time it went together. After the first time trying to get it to screw on is a chore. Tried to align the threads and it will not screw on. Tried to clean it out to see if that helped it did not. If you are using a fine power that affects the threads lining up. Not worth the hassle. Not very practical as far as I am concerned. One more try then going back.

Bellows better than Bulb type
We have the “black bulb” type brought several years ago with chemical powder from a different website. This bellows item was purchased specifically to use with Diatomaceous Earth and not to cross mixed containers, because we use DE inside home and chemical outside. The bellows type works far better than the bulb. After every squeeze of bulb I would shake it “as recommended” and it would still clog, especially if bulb nozzle has to be pointed upward. However, this bellows type works very well even with nozzle pointed upward, can get a few long sprays before reshake, due to not filled all way. It has not clogged yet.
