If you mix the powder with water, it will work, but will not work with dry powder.

This will work for ANY kind of insect! Any bug that crawls thru it will begin to die. It's not instant like a poison but boy does it work! I keep a little of it in the back of my closets all the time. i put it out months ago and I didnt use much. I still find dead spiders and crickets in my closet every now and then.

another prblem with now is the aluminum foil seal...it breaks apart and presents an extreme risk. each time a perzon screws lid on of off the_ aluminum stuck to top of jar sh reds and could drol into thee powder and then into your dink".this is not good:^)

i just put the powder in some jojoba oil i have. it does not "dissolve" and the powder settles to the bottom. if it were shaken, the particles could be suspended enough to be useful.

You would have to ask the company. I use Rid-X because the people who pump our septic tank told us to. I do prefer the liquid over the powder but the powder is cheaper. Sorry I couldn't help you more.

The label states "soluble insecticide" underneath the landscape painting on its front. I use 2/3 teaspoon per gallon of water according to the instructions on the label affixed to the can. I also store the powder in an airtight container because it degrades if kept in the original can (is made of some type o cardboard)

It is a very fine powder and I am not sure that you can use that because it may clog or pack in the spreader, I use a small bottle and it keeps clogging with that and I have to shake it down. You might want to get one that is for fine powder spreaders.

No I would say not to be used with loose powder, there are holes in the bottom that are about 1/4" in diameter so the powder would flow out too quickly.

I use it for this purpose and carry it in a metal flask. There are plastic containers that are safe for carry as well, I'm sure google could help you there.

I don't see why you couldn't do that. I never thought of it. If I go on vacation I premeasure the powder into ziplock Baggie and take magic bullet. You would just need containers to put in fridge. Sounds like great idea!

I would get two. The bottles are about half full. I also recommend that you get a sifter for powdered sugar and put the contents of the bottle into that. The nozzle on the bottle blows out too much at once so it's wasteful. The powdered sugar sifter will give you a controlled application method. We have one of the original Safer containers that has a better nozzle and we loaded ours into it. The Safer powder is about the same consistency as powdered sugar. It will wipe out the herd of caterpillars though, and with no adverse effects on pets or wildlife.

You can get Cleanse for Life in both liquid and powder form. I prefer the powder, as it doesn't have to be refrigerated, keeps much longer, and I think it tastes better than the pre-mix liquid!

For home use, i have found the liquid easy (and safe) to mix. And the persistence of the results seem in line with the product claims. So i have had no reason to try the powder. Also, if the solution dries on the ground, i would wonder if the powder would become airborne. With the liquid, i worried at first that the sprinklers operating on subsequent days would wash away the insecticide, but iI've been spraying the house perimeter and planted areas every 10 weeks and I've had zero bug problems.

I am using mine for a fake plant, if you wanted to use for a real plant you will need a different container inside as this is not water tight.

I dispense it where the bugs go but where other creatures (cats, people) can't -- along the inside edges of cabinets, edges of walls where they meet the floor (preferably behind furniture). The Pest Pistol sprays in a fine line so whatever kind of powder you are using won't fly all over the place. And a word of advice: use food-grade diatomaceous earth. It's much safer than any other kind.

I believe that this container, if used in conjunction with its companion lid, would most likely do the trick of keeping out any pests. The lid seals pretty tightly to the container. To be totally forthcoming, though, I have not had any experience with keeping out critters, so I can't attest completely to the air tightness of the container in this specific situation.

Hi, this should work with any powder type substance. I used it with diatomaceous earth. (bed bugs) You may want to try diatomaceous earth (Food Grade Only!) it is non-toxic, and natural. Hope this helps.
