PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: Demize is a low odor dust which is white and works as a desiccant on insects. Once on them, Demise cuts away at their exoskeleton and then robs them of vital moisture. This unique formulation will last over a year in treated voids. Demise is very safe to use and works mostly by dehydrating insects and not chemically like other pesticides.

Carpenter bee solution ! The Drione dust and applicator were superb. I have been fighting the carpenter bees forever. The dust worked rapidly and I wish that I had found your company years ago. Thank you!!
Maureen Nichols says
Good stuff. I haven’t used too much of this yet. I will use it once I run out of the liquid. It does work well though.
Andrew says
That dust worked great! We had ground wasps behind our steps and out where I mowed the grass. I had tried other things but nothing worked. I squirted some drione dust in the hole and that was that. No more ground wasps! They are ALL gone. This stuff really works! Just do yourself a favor and wait until it’s good and dark before you go near the wasp hole.
Dolores Ryan says
It has seemed to help. But having a large amount of cicada killers on property have had to locate and dust new nests three times so far.
Diana Palmer says
Must Have! Over several years…I have been fighting a battle with those circada wasps in my yard. I tried everything including hiring an exterminator. The funny thing is…they use the same thing I just bought and finally, since I have been doing this myself..being able to go out everyday and find the holes to dust them, I am finally starting to see a difference. This product WORKS! I will continue to buy it until the last wasp is GONE! THANK YOU!!!!!!! Also…the 12″ extension duster works like a dream.
Cynthia Epplin says
Bees Be Gone! Thankfully this resolved our carpenter bee problem around our outdoor dog chateaux. We had no luck with other treatments but after this, we have only 1 bee left.
Gloria says
It WORKED ! ! ! Hundreds & hundreds of yellow jackets entering a hole between our front steps & the house. Waited until dark, then along with the Crusader 6″ duster, we puffed the powder into their entrance. EASY to use! The next day the entire nest was shut down. THANK YOU – THANK YOU ! ! !
Michael says
Better than expected! I’ve been dealing with carpenter bees for a few years. When I puffed this powder in the holes, the bees immediately start buzzing very loud and multiple bees started falling out in some holes and had bees in every tunnel. 20+ bees
This stuff works very well and I have enough left for next year.
Cline Abbot says
I had carpenter bees that crawled up the T-11 wood siding groove under the trim board and nested inside the wall. I tried conventional sprays and foams which did some good. However there were many more. I ordered the Demise dust. One night (9 pm) I used the squeeze poof duster and directed the spray into those entrances/exists. I could really hear them buzzing inside the wall. The next morning, all was quiet. A good 30 or so were dead on the sidewalk and no activity at all. I stopped up the entrances/exits with steel wool. Two days later a couple of strays came flying in but could not find a way to get in and left. The product worked wonderfully. Thank you!
Nina says
Does it treat for gnats?
Tech Support says
Nina,
That would be a no. To control flying pests, you need to use the products we have listed in this post:
https://bugspray.com/small_fly_control
The key to ending a flying insect problem is to find their nesting location but that can be tricky. If you can’t, the treatments in the post above will work but need to be done on a regular basis.

Tom says
Is Demise Dust a replacement for Drione Dust?
I can’t find the latter on your website anymore.
Tech Support says
Tom,
It is! Drione has been “retired” and so no longer available (out of production). Demise is very close and side by side, gets the same results.
