Description

The B&G 1152-A Hand Duster is a professional-grade tool designed for the precise application of dust insecticides and granules. This duster is a favorite among pest control professionals and DIY enthusiasts for its durability, efficiency, and ease of use. Whether you’re dealing with pests in residential, commercial, or agricultural settings, the B&G 1152-A Hand Duster is an excellent choice for targeted pest control.
What It Is:
The B&G 1152-A Hand Duster is a manual duster that allows for the controlled distribution of dust products. It features a large 2-quart capacity, which means you can cover more ground without the need for constant refills. The duster is equipped with a 12-inch extension that makes it easier to reach into tight spaces, and it’s capable of holding up to 1 1/2 pounds of dust or 2 quarts of granular material.
How It Works:
The B&G 1152-A Hand Duster works by electrostatically charging the dust particles as they are expelled from the duster. This charge causes the dust to adhere better to surfaces, including vertical and upside-down areas, ensuring that the product stays where it’s needed and increases the likelihood of contact with the target pests.
How to Use:
Using the B&G 1152-A Hand Duster is straightforward:
Filling the Duster:
Open the 3.5-inch wide mouth of the duster to fill it with your chosen dust or granular product. Be careful not to overfill; leaving some air space will make it easier to distribute the product evenly.
Applying the Product:
Point the extension tip towards the area you want to treat and pump the duster to release the product. The amount of pressure you apply to the pump will control the volume of dust released.
Coverage:
Ensure even coverage in the target area, focusing on cracks, crevices, and other potential pest entry points.

The B&G 1152-A Hand Duster is ideal for use in:
Attics
