    Q
    Can Demon WP be applied with a normal backpack sprayer or a mist blower?
    can I use a normal backpack sprayer/blower to apply Demon WP for mosquito control? how often does Demon WP need to be applied to control mosquitoes? how much Demon wp should be used per gallon of water for mosquito control?
    A
    You can use Demon WP in a backpack sprayer for mosquito control. Demon WP is not labeled for use in a mist blower. If you would like to use a product in a mist blower for mosquito control you can use Talstar P. According to the Demon WP product label: for mosquito control, apply as a general structural perimeter spray to landscape plantings, turf, and building foundations to control mosquitoes. Yards or other frequented areas enclosed by landscaping can benefit from the creation of a mosquito barrier to reduce invading mosquitoes by the treatment of perimeter vegetation. For best results, apply Demon WP at recommended rates in 2-5 gallons of water per 1,000 sq. ft. Higher volumes applied result in better coverage and, as a rule, will improve control. Demon WP can reapplied every 4 weeks outdoors.

    Q
    Will Demon WP kill hookworms?
    A

    Demon WP will not kill hookworms. Unfortunately there is not a product on the market that is labeled or recommended for hookworms. While some insecticides that are labeled for turf or lawn infesting insect may work, there has not been enough research to add hookworms to the product labels. We recommend thatif you have pets, they be moved out of the contaminated area for at least 6 weeks (during warm spring/summer months, longer during cool winter/fall months) and all feces be removed. Keeping the animals out of the contaminated area for at least 6 weeks should help control the infestation pattern. It is also important to remove feces from the new latrine area to avoid another infestation.

    Q
    What is the consequence of using a mixture of Demon WP from a few months ago?
    I mixed Demon WP with water to use a few months ago but I mixed far too much. I am not sure how to dispose of it and was told I could reuse it...
    A

    Using diluted Demon WP after it has been mixed 24 hours or longer would not be advised. The reason being is that the active ingredient will start to break down and cause the solution to become less effective. You can pour the old mixture outside, right up against the foundation of the structure you are treating.

    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.

    Q
    Does Demon WP kill bedbugs?

    Demon WP is not labeled to treat for bed bugs, therefore we cannot recommend using it.  What we do recommend is our Bed Bug Kits.  They have a very high success rate and have all of the same professional products that a company would use if you hired one.  Our kits also come with full instructions on how to apply the products in the kit. Please take a few moments to review our article on How to Get Rid of Bedbugs.

    Q
    Will Demon WP Insecticide kill carpenter ants?
    A

    Yes, Demon WP all species of ants, including carpenter ants.  However, it will only kill the ants that walk over where you treat around your home.  It will not take care of the queen and other ants back where the colony is.  The key to ant control is to use a product that will not kill the ants around your home on contact like Demon WP will, but a product that they will take back to the colony and kill the queen and other ants at the source.  Our most popular product for this is Termidor SC for outdoor use. Or you can use ant baits like the Maxforce Carpenter Ant Bait Gel that the ants will eat and take back to the colony.

  • Asked by Amanda from Falkville,al
    04/04/2013
    Q
    My Demon WP sprayed on and dried on a muddy brown color - Does this means it has expired?
    I will admit I should have stopped spraying when I saw the color it was coming out as but every description I have ever read about it said that it left behind a white film. As my walls are white I did not see that as a huge problem. However spraying the baseboards and crown moulding where I have seen them travel up high left dirty looking streaks running down my walls. Absolutely disgusting. My product was stamped with an 11/2012 label. Is it possible it was expired? Is that the reason for such an ugly application?
    A

    We apologize you are having an issue with the Demon WP. We have never had anyone complain that it came out as a muddy color. The powder is usually a darker off white color and when mixed with water the solution is usually an off white creamy color. With many products the colors can vary a bit depending on the source of the raw materials and that may be the case with this product as well. We recommend contacting the manufacturer directly so that they can troubleshoot with you and see what may have happened. They may ask you some questions about the numbers on the envelope so they can see if there was a problem with a certain batch. You can reach Syngenta by calling 866-796-4368.

    The 11/2012 is the date the product was released for sale, not the expiration date.

    Q
    Will Demon WP will kill pantry moths?
    The best way to eliminate pantry moths is to find the infested food items and dispose of them immediately and thoroughly clean the infested cabinet. The moth larva (immature moths) can usually be found in grain products such as pasta, rice, flour, or spices. The adult moths and wandering larva can be killed with CY-Kick aerosol. The active male moths can be lured and trapped with the Pro-pest Pantry Moth trap. We have put together A Pantry Pest kit that contains everything you need to get rid of the pantry moths.

    Q
    What is the best product for spiders
    I have a sever spider problem. When I walk into room there is alway web that hit your face even next day.The renters in the home say they they are falling off ceiling and that they have been bitten often. They are moving out of the home so if the product is somewhat toxic for a couple day it should be no problem.
    A
    One of our best products for spider control is Demon WP. Dilute it in a gallon of water and apply as a spray in the cracks, corners & crevices, and the perimeters of the rooms. Also, spray around the exterior as well. Spiders tend to like harboring in boxes or other cluttered areas. Consider the attics, basement, and closets for treatment as well.
