I’m philosophically opposed to home use of broad spectrum insecticides especially in urban settings but with my formerly lush green yard literally brown with voracious grasshoppers- it’s like the apocalypse has arrived! I bought this carbaryl product which I’ve used occasionally over decades because carbaryl is pretty safe and very effective against grasshoppers. But wait- instead of the carbaryl product advertised it’s a bifenthrin product and they’ve removed grasshoppers from the pests controlled section of the label. Quick web search indicates it should control grasshoppers though it is against the law to use on pests not listed on the label!It is sold as 1lb which it seems to be but the large container is literally half full or less. I was willing to pay the very high price for the old active ingredient but the price here is extortionate . Full retail at Lowe’s for 3 lbs of same stuff is about 60% of the cost this vendor charges. 1lb is $6 at Tractor Supply.It does seem to work on grasshoppers though the liquid version (which has a different active ingredient) seems more effective, is easier to control where it goes and doesn’t need to be reapplied after a rain.

Every year, we get a lot of ants around and in the house. Every year, we buy 7 Dust to get rid of them. Just don't do it, if the ground is wet, or if it will be raining in the next few days. That tends to ruin the killing power.The ants pick up and take the little pellets back to the nest, and eat it there and die. We don't see a mess of dead ants around. !!!

Excellent product just wished the water didn't wash it off so easily.

The product I have from 2023 is labeled on the can as "0.1% bifenthrin." This is different from the picture on amazon, but it still works for yellowjackets.I have seen a few reviews saying this product doesn't work for yellowjackets. It will work, but it is not a simple one-and-done. I have done the following to remove 3 underground yellowjacket nests in the past year:* At night, when the nest is sleeping, I put a few spoonfuls right in the entrance to dust them when they leave in the morning.* The next day, the wasps fly out and get dusted. Typically, a nest has thousands of wasps in it, so before long, wasps leaving will have cleared the dust from the entrance, and later wasps flying out will not get dusted. However, I have noticed a sharp decrease in activity by this stage.* I put another spoonful right in the entrance. The idea is to ensure wasps entering and leaving get dusted. It may be safe to do this in daytime, but be careful.* A few hours later, check to see if you need to dust the entrance again.* You may need to continue the next day. Yellowjacket larvae hatch after a few days, so even if all the fliers are dead, new wasps can still emerge a couple days after you apply.* After a few days, there should be no wasps flying out. Cover the opening with dirt so it doesn't poison other things.* It is fine if you see dusted wasps going back into the nest. They will die before long, and they will bring the dust into the nest to poison wasps that never left.

I had a giant underground yellowjacket nest that was no more than five feet from my house. Bought the Sevin 5%, waited until it got dark and good and cool and went out to the nest area. I put on a bee suit and heavy sweatshirt and sweatpants but there were no yellowjackets up at 10pm, as it turned out.I had no problem finding the entrance to the nest, which looked like the mouth of the Holland Tunnel. I tipped about 1/4 of the canister into the hole (more than I had intended, but I don't think the excess amount was any real issue: it still was a fairly small pile).This nest had had two to three insects flying STRAIGHT UP, EVERY SECOND. More than a hundred yellowjackets flying around every minute. I nuked them on Sunday night and by Monday morning, there was already a big change.There was a little pile of Sevin dust outside the nest: they had had to excavate it to get through, sealing their doom.Instead of hundreds of insects flying around, I saw a FEW and, instead of taking off like fighter jets, they were buzzing around in sad, drunken circles. By Wednesday, this was down to a single yellowjacket in about five minutes. Today, Thursday, the nest was quiet.This stuff is the White Death for yellowjackets. Armageddon. 3Some patience is required, but we're not talking a long-term process.
