You are correct, there are 4 packets of Demon WP Insecticide per envelope. For roaches, you should mix 2 packets per gallon of water. See the product label for complete applications. Please review our Roach Treatment Guide for more tips about roach control.
Demon WP should not cause any damage to paint, but it may leave behind a faint white residue on darker surfaces.

Demon WP will kill Midges that come in contact with it. It cannot be applied as a broadcast, however. Talstar P would be a great product for you. Spraying a product such as Talstar P on window screens, doors, bushes, and plants around your home can act as midge repellant to keep midges away. Citronella candles or oils can act as a midge repellant, but they aren’t as effective when used alone. Talstar P is safe for children and pets after dried.
Demon WP Insecticide will kill ants that come in contact with it, but it will not eradicate them.
Phantom would be a good choice for ant control. Phantom should be applied around baseboards, door frames, window frames and places where utilities (cables, pipes and wires) enter through the wall as these are the most likely places for the ants to enter/exit. You can also treat all around the foundation of your home and the exterior window frames, door frames and places where utilities enter to stop the ants from gaining access in the first place. Phantom is a non-repellent insecticide that has a delayed reaction which allows ants time to get back to the colony and spread the product. In essence, the ants will not be able to tell that the product is in place and they will pick it up on the fine hairs all over their body and inadvertently carry it back to the colony where over a course of a few days it will knock out the entire colony. Phantom works really well because you don't have to worry about whether the ants will all take the bait, they just need to walk over the treated areas. Phantom comes in two formulations, concentrated liquid and aerosol for your convenience. Be sure to keep your pets out of the area while you are treating and they can safely return to the treated areas as soon as they are dry, usually 1-2 hours.

Demon WP would not be recommended to treat a pantry for moths. The best way to eliminate pantry moths is to find the infested food items and dispose of them immediately, then thoroughly clean the infested cabinet. The moth larvae (immature moths) can usually be found in grain products such as pasta, rice, flour, or spices. The adult moths and wandering larvae 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.
Demon WP could be applied to ornamental trees, however, it may leave a white powdery residue on the leaves. Temprid SC could be applied to the ornamentals for ants and many other common pests and would dry clear.

If you are cleaning after you spray then you are rendering the product ineffective as you are wiping up everything you just put down. You should be cleaning first and then spraying with the product lightly over the baseboards and areas you need to treat. Once the surfaces have dried completely it is not harmful to pets or children and they will not pick the chemical up on their bodies or be affected by it by crawling over it. Since Demon is a WP (wettable powder) and it dries with a powdery substance on the surface, you may want to think about swapping to something that dries clear and doesnt sit on the surface like the Demon does. Something like Temprid SC would be a great option for that for a variety of pests and is safe once dry as well.
Demon WP can be applied indoors in kitchens using a hand pump sprayer, but is not labeled to be used in cabinets at all.

In kitchens you can also apply behind the fridge, stove, and under the dishwasher.
