Me too. Try getting one of those "cricket shakers" from the pet store. Then the powder can separate away from the bugs. And don't be too gentle. I know my bugs get one heck of a ride when they get shaken. Some of the excess should fall off in the process. And besides, the first thing the bugs do is commence cleaning it off of themselves, so any crickets that hide or don't get eaten right away will end up without any left on them, anyway. I'm not worried about overdosing with Repashy. But if you are worried, just dust every other feeding, then. Instead of every feeding. But like I said, it is designed to be used every feeding. Good luck!
