Is it safe to use Delta dust in my attic where exposed insulation is as that is where the wasps are creating nests in the eaves?

I would say yes. It is an pesticide and you should follow the instructions. Make sure your hands are covered (gloves),wear a mask when applying the treatment and use a hand duster. I had a terrible infestion of carpet beetles and beg bugs and when I applied the Delta Dust and I saw a big difference in 2 weeks. They are gone and I periodically repeat a treatment. I don't want them back ever again. I like delta dust because it kills a variety of insects and pests and wasps is one of them. Use it and it will get rid of those wasps. Good luck.

If it was me I would use a spray. And just do that one or two times a year.

I would say that the bag is not designed to be sealable against those type of pests. I believe it will do a good job of keeping passive dust out, but against a determined bug, no I think is will not do the job.

I don't see why it would not be OK. depending on the temperature in the attic? it is like any other Hub it does generate some heat but as long as you have some ventilation it should be OK. there are cooling slots on the side of the unit for ventilation but this may cause a problem with dust and dirt in the attic? I have mine in a closet and you can not feel any heat from it at all. Good luck

I think you can. I hear that if it's very cold they may hide in your attic until the thaw, but that's just what my pest control guy told me.

I have never had a problem with anything coming thru..including wasps.we live in the country

It's safe to use in Blower mode when working on electronics. It adds no moisture like canned air does and does a terrific job. I never use it to vacuum electronics.

Not really. Does not impact my house in that way. If anything the fan just helps air circulation in the attic.

Yellow jackets are wasps, so I am confident they will be killed if it reaches them. However, be very careful to wait until late at night, wear protective clothing, and move out of there quickly. If I were doing it, I would stick the sprayer nozzle down the hole, set it to stay on continuously, and run for my life.

No, you want to make sure your house is insulated properly. This is to exhaust the attic of heat.

Yes, use it anywhere you see tubes. Be sure to get the foam as far down the tube as possible even if you have to dig out part of the tube. So far my termites have either gone somewhere I can't find them or they are dead as the areas where they were have not become re-infested. Also paint or spray the wood with Copper Green preservative.

Anthony- it's my understanding that we technically use 120V here in the U.S. and you maybe use 115V. Whatever we're calling them, I think the 2 are considered "close enough" that you should be able to use this dust collector there in Trinidad without any problems. I think the only issue may be whether the plug is compatible with your receptacle/outlet. The Delta comes with a 3-pronged polarized and grounded plug, meaning the left vertical blade is larger than the right (correct polarization), and there is a 3rd circular prong (grounding) under the 2 blades. If you don't have a 3-holed outlet which matches this plug, you'll need to pick up an adapter. Fortunately, they're cheap.Best, Chris Anthony- it's my understanding that we technically use 120V here in the U.S. and you maybe use 115V.

I bought this mid-Summer. It does NOT keep wasps/bees away. They still buzz around the area. I did read that the idea is to keep queens from nesting near the device, I guess I will find out next summer.

Label here (2004): http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/msds/DEMON%20WP%20PACKETS_label.pdf(May be out of date.) Wasps are listed in the recommended application rates table. As Lee said, I would wear protective gear during application.Good luck.

For carpenter ants and roaches, you can remove outlet covers to dust alongside the electrical boxes to get into the wall voids. Good thing it's plastic!

I haven't used the stuff yet, but right on the front page it shows a picture of it being used in an attic. Good luck!

No it is made to be outside. It would not have the proper ventilation inside of an attic.

All is well and good removing popcorn finish with this sander, but BEWARE no matter how much this says "dust free", popcorn ceilings are known for having asbestos. There are tests to find out. If so, I recommend full garb, tenting room off, and definitely wearing a respirator no matter what! Popcorn finish should be wet so as not to spread asbestos, but this sander won't work with wet so it's worth researching BEFORE tackling a popcorn ceiling with this sander!
