Q

just treated inside/outside of house w/ demon wp & an IGR for fleas. still seeing adult fleas. is that normal?
we are seeing fewer fleas so, if it is normal to still be seeing fleas, how long should we be seeing them for before we need to move on to the next step?

A

It is perfectly normal to keep seeing fleas for several weeks after the initial treatment. This is because of the natural life cycle of the flea and you are now seeing newly hatched fleas. Most folks find they have to do between 2-4 treatments to get rid of the fleas for good. We do not recommend us…

Most folks find they have to do between 2-4 treatments to get rid of the fleas for good. We do not recommend using Demon WP indoors for flea control as it is not labeled for broadcast sprays indoors.

Q

Can this be used to keep out Palmetto Bugs?
I'm mainly wanting to know if this repels and creates a barrier around and inside my home from these giant bugs/roaches.

Q

What if Demon spray was sprayed on cat food or cats got into the puddles of it left on the floor?
My elderly father bought this for roaches and was told it was safe to use around pets. He took that as you can spray it anywhere. It was sprayed on pet food and puddles were left all over the floor where my cats were able to walk in it and lick it up? Now a few weeks later my cat is having awful seizures. Im not blaming Demon, I blame my father. But I need to know if its possible that it has caused his illness...please help me.

A

Demon wp is safe around pets after the treated area has dried. It sounds like this product was applied outside of label instructions. We highly recommend to contact the manufacturer Syngenta 866-796-4368 for further instructions.

Q

Is the Demon Wp residue safe to touch?
We sprayed our screened in porch with Demon and the white residue is on surfaces that are commonly touched by my 1 and 3 yr olds and 3 month old puppy? I wanna make sure it is safe for them to be touching the areas before I let them play back out there. We had to spray because of black widows.

A

Although, Demon WP works great on treating for spiders. We do not recommend applying it in that area where the kids and pets would be in very close contact. You can wash the residue off with hot water and soap.

I used 1oz for a gallon of water and added a growth regulator. I sprayed every room after vacuuming and carpet cleaning. I washed my dogs with a tick shampoo and I sprayed my couch as well....why are they still here? Will this product work?

How long it takes the ticks to die after they come into contact with a treated area will depend on a number of factors. It will depend on the maturity of the tick as well as how long they stayed on the treated area, how long it has been since the area was treated and the concentration that was used to treat the area. Demon Max is a great product for tick control - and you used the correct dosage. Typically it can take anywhere from a couple of hours to a day or so for them to die. It can take several weeks for you to stop seeing ticks indoors because the ticks like to stay hidden which also means they could be staying out of treated areas and eggs may hatch out prolonging the infestation. We recommend doing follow up treatments every two weeks at the highest usage rate of 1 oz of product per gallon of water until you do not see any ticks.

I have used Demon WP, and I like it a lot. Don't like the residue on my cedar siding, but don't want to give up the results I got from it.

Yes, Martins Viper contains the same active ingredient, but will not leave a white residue. Please be sure to check the product label and make sure the specific insects you are treating for are listed.

Q

Is there a benefit to mixing Demon WP with Onslaught Spider and Scorpion?
Would it be better to alternate between Demon WP and Onslaught Spider and Scorpion or to mix them and spray together to control bark scorpions?

It is not necessary to mix two insecticides together. What you could do to ensure that the product works faster is use ExciteR. It can be mixed with either Demon WP or Onslaught FastCap Spider and Scorpion Insecticide. ExciteR will provide a quicker knockdown when mixed with an insecticide. If used …

What product would be good to use for brown recluse spiders?
Bought a house last fall which turns out to have confirmed brown recluse. I have some Demon WP left but need to re-order. Should I stick with Demon for inside and outside control or switch to Onslaught Scorpion & Spider? I'm also planning on ordering/using Talstar PL granules outside. Thank you!

Why are one pound jars of WP not being made anymore? I am a pest tech and can only get my hands on WSP formulations.

The bulk 1 lb jars of wettable powder have been discontinued due to issues with misuse as well as reports of the product being accidentally inhaled upon opening the jar. They are now only available in pre-measured packets like Demon WP or Cyper WSP.
