When I bought initially bought this duster I had the same glogging/clumping problems, and poor performance that was mentioned in some of the reviews. That was when I was using the duster right side up, with the powder container down and the wand up. (Yes, there are no instructions on the cardboard over wrap. I guess they figured it was so simple a cave man could do it.) After multiple tries I thought, why not try it upside down- with the powder container on top and the wand underneath. It worked! With the reservoir on top it provided a smooth , even layer of Sevin dust without clogging.

Must be a trick to using it..have had this for a while and still can't figure out how to use it properly or if it is really useful. Pump to get compression then the dust starts coming out of the threaded area of the dispensor. Even when it is fully tighten.Ok, now its supposed to come out of the little flex nozzle, maybe it might 1x (all at once!!) then not again. Seems like there should be a trick to usig it so it streams continuaous for a little while at least, so you can spray litlely he entire bush. I tried to use it as a pressure tube then wait for the dust to come out..no such luck. And what if the bushes are higher then 4 feet..forget it, gravity is against you nothin at all..Oh by the way no directions on the cardboard enclosure ..would help if there was

Judy was right on when she reviewed to use this product "upside down"...or with the large plastic screw-on reservoir on top instead of underneath the pump....it works perfectly this way! You get an even, ultra light coat of dust. I am using the duster with "Diamotaceous Earth", and am very happy with it. I am so thankful for the "upside-down" advice I found in Judy's review. Otherwise, I would have completely given up on this duster. The manufacturer really needs to include some directions with the product for how to use it correctly...

Tryed to spray sevin dust bottom blew off twice in 5 min. of use trashed it within 15 mins. of receiving unit. JUNK

Distributes the dust a little uneven, but worth it. Good product,good price... I reccomend it... RT

Nothing to using this little gem. Put on your mask, fill the canister halfway with dust of your choice, tighten all connections, turn the canister on top, aim the nozzle and pump gently. Works perfectly.

I've been using this with Diatomaceous Earth in my chicken coop, run & in my gardens. It works wonderfully.

The thinner tube on this is kind of big and when you pump it, a lot comes out. I would like to see someone make one that really just sort of mists the powder. This kind of blows it out in a larger volume than you need. You can waste a lot of product with it. Also, sometimes with vigorous pumping, the back of the large tube pops off. It goes back, but it can be a hassle. It's OK, but kind of cheaply made for the price. I would pay maybe 10 bucks for it, but I paid too much for something that is not worth it by quality and doesn't work as one of these should be made to work.

This plant duster does not work! And, yes, there are NO instructions. Save your money and make your own shaker bottle from a jar with small nail holes punched into the lid.

It is a little cheeply constructed but it works great I would not recommend for professional use but great for small jobs around the house. If your shopping for a duster you found a good one for small jobs the price is very reasonable. If you plan to use alot or for professional use spend a little mre and get a better one. I hope this review tells more than I had to go on . I am happy with it for less than $20.00 but some people were selling same thing for just under $40.00 and wanted shipping on top of that. I would have felt cheated at anything over $25.00 to $30.00 so take a few minutes to decide how much you plan to use it before you buy.
