Bellows Hand Duster BHD001 by Anteater

I've been wanting one of these for a few years to use with diatomaceous earth, but until now had made due with a coffee can that had holes poked in the lid. This is waaaaay better. Yes the coffee can is cheaper, but good luck trying to direct the sprinkle or get it near the wall where the ants are actually coming in. This duster didn't come with any instructions, but it only took a few minutes to figure out.Application: I was able to shoot the powder into some cracks in the edges of my room with no problem. It's incredibly easy to aim where I wanted the D.E. I found out quickly that it will shoot out a LOT of powder at once, when holding it vertically (spout coming out of the bottom). When flipping it vertically the other way, it came out in a very very fine stream. I ended up going with holding it horizontally so that I could get a medium stream of dust. The device is easy to compress when dispensing the dust, I didn't have to press hard.Filling: The hole is a little small, so I made a funnel out of a piece of paper, and poured the powder into that. I still got dust all over my hands, but at least I filled the duster quickly.Design: I like that this duster has a little cap on the end, so I can store it with the powder inside, and it won't accidentally get dispensed. The duster has a little rubber cork to keep it closed, that pops out easily. The cork fits well enough that it didn't pop out while I was applying the dust, however.This duster is exactly what I needed and works better than I expected. I like that I can vary the amount of powder dispensed so easily. Filling crevices with dust is so quick and easy with this tool.

This worked very well to dust food grade DE. However, I would recommend a mask if using indoors as it can distribute a very fine cloud of dust into the air as well as the dust it spreads onto the ground. This probably depends on how fine whatever dust is that you are using.I filled it up halfway using a funnel and then closed it up, it seals well and the nozzle cover is very nice too. It seems well build with a solid spring and good materials. Shaking the duster and pumping it quickly generated a lot of dust. It does get a little tiring on your hand if you have a lot to do, but for the price I'm not complaining. If someone had a ton of dusting to do, I might suggest something else, but for just around the house this works well.

It works great when holding in hand is feefs realy cheaply made

I'm fussy and particular and often am disappointed by products, but this one has delighted me. Okay, first it's made beautifully and feels nice in the hand. More importantly, it works exactly as described. I use it to puff clouds of cayenne pepper into the walls and ceilings of my lakeside summer cottage -- which is what has worked best, for me, getting rid of chipmunks and squirrels. Long story short, the cayenne discourages them without poisoning and killing them. I was doing this manually using straws but then found this product and ordered it. It came right away -- with no manual or anything but that's okay, I just used the internet description and in the end appreciate the fact I didn't have another piece of paper to throw away. You fill it halfway with your powder just like they say, shake it a little between "puffs" and it puffs a beautiful cloud of, in my case, 160,000 HU cayenne into small holes I drilled into walls and false ceilings of my vintage cottage. I am buying another unit so I have one for the future -- because you know how it is with products you love.

I am not sure why I didn't receive the hand duster pictured. I received another duster green in color that is called a pesticide duster on amazon that was for more expensive. I really wanted this hand duster as it had better ratings and you can see through it. Shipping was faster than expected; it came 5 days earlier than the due date. So far I like this duster compared to a squeeze mustard bottle. It puffs it more finely and not in chunks. You can control the amount you puff out by pressure. I live in an apartment and I suspect bedbugs. I haven't seen one but I've been through bed bugs once in my life and they are a nightmare. They are traumatizing and will change your outlook in life. I had to throw away everything! Anyways we moved into a brand new apartment, first people to occupy this unit and everyone else too. I'm pretty sure the neighbors brought them. I saw their furniture/bed on their porch the first month and I get bites 3 months later into my lease. Greeeeatttt...Life is hell again. I am putting cimexa in this and dusting it in every outlet and crack/crevice. I have 3 more months in my lease and I am slowly battling this and bagging everything and being careful again. I am probably going to use this and cimexa for life as a preventative/control treatment only because I see society is spreading them and there is no way in stopping them but killing them early or prevention. Educate yourself people! You don't want these bugs feasting on you while you sleep. They are incredibly hard to get rid of once there are too many. I am giving this 3 stars so far because I hate getting something that isn't pictured of what I ordered.

I needed it to put Delta Dust into my brick house weep holes to kill nesting wasps. Unlike the Delta Dust bottle that tends to add globs of the dust in the holes, this duster provides a nice, fine puff of powder. The only thing is that the tip was a bit too large to completely go into some of the weep holes, so I was only able to dust the entrance portion of those holes..
