  • Asked by Melissa from Moody Tx

    Q
    Can I use Demon WP Insecticide for fleas in some areas of the yard?
    A

    Mix one packet of Demon WP Insecticide  to one gallon of water and make sure it dissolves completely before you begin spraying. This mixture will treat 1,000 sq ft and you will need to re-treat every 14 days (do not treat daily) as needed for flea control.  Most folks find they have to do between 2-4 treatments to get rid of the fleas for good along with the use of an IGR such as Archer IGR. You may want to look over our Flea Treatment Guide for more tips and information.

    Q
    Will Demon WP kill carpenter ants?
    A

    While Demon WP Insecticide will kill carpenter ants, it will not allow you to kill the colony, which is necessary to eradicate a carpenter ant infestation.  Our Indoor Ant Kit contains the necessary products to eradicate an entire colony of carpenter ants indoors.  Please take a moment to review our How to Get Rid of Carpenter Ants Guide for great information on getting rid of carpenter ants.

    Q
    Is Demon WP absorbed into plant roots?
    My exterminator accidently sprayed my blueberry and raspberry plants. They were very small plants, as its spring, so I cut them all down to ground level removing all sprayed branches and leaves. Should this be ok or is demon wp absorbed through the roots? Does it remain a safety concern being in the dirt?
    A

    No, Demon WP is not absorbed through the roots of your plants but if your blueberry and raspberry plants have been sprayed with this product, you will need to discard them and skip harvesting for one growing season.

    Q
    Is Demon WP harmful animals such as dogs and cats if sprayed on baseboards in the house for roaches etc??
    A

    Demon WP is safe to use around children and pets when mixed and used correctly. Keep children and pets out of the area until the application has had enough time to completly dry, once dry it is safe to resume normal activity. With most professional products such as Demon WP, once you mix it with water it is only strong enough to kill small insects.

    Q
    Cockroaches are coming in the hotel room from outside. Please tell me which product is best?
    I have a 42 room hotel, and I'm having problem in five to six rooms. I find dead (big) cockroaches more or less everyday. Please advise me on which product I can use.
    A
    The best product we have for the larger cockroaches, or American cockroaches, is a product called Demon WP.  Demon WP is a wettable powder that you mix with water in a one gallon sprayer.  Wettable powders are easier for the roaches to pick up on their bodies, and they pack more of a punch which is what you need when treating for larger roaches. Since the larger roaches come from the outside, you want to concentrate your spray on the outside of the building.  Spray 2 to 3 feet up onto the building and 2 to 3 feet out onto the ground.  You can also treat inside the rooms where you have issues.  Demon WP is not only labeled to treat roaches, but almost any other insects you may have a problem with including spiders, ants, silverfish, etc.  You should apply once a month for best results.

    Q
    Demon WP with allergic child
    My son has an allergy to pyrethroids requiring ER treatment in the past. He was getting ill and sent home from school. I found out later they are spraying Demon WP inside several times a month. They spray in the bathroom and changing room via broadcast. Why would it be safe when dry if it can persist inside for 3 or more months? How can the area be cleaned, so my son will be safe at school?!! What is safer to use inside? The teacher also had severe breathing problems the last time they sprayed.
    A
    We can not give advice on sprays that would work for sensitive individuals or in schools. Each state and county have their own regulations that govern what they can and cannot use in schools. You can check with your local school board for their list of pesticides that can be used indoors. For more information on Demon WP and its use around sensitive individuals, you can contact the manufacturer Sygenta at 1-866-SYNGENTA.

    Q
    Carpenter bee started a hole, it's not big enough to enter. Can I plug the hole now without treatment?
    Type of wood is plywood, not yet stained. Do I need to varnish also to keep bees away? Thanks
    A
    Yes, you can plug the hole without treatment if the hole is not big enough for the bee to enter. You should note that the bee may return and start to drill a new hole unless you apply an insecticide such as Demon WP. Some bees will actually bore through paint and varnish so using an insecticide is the only surefire way to get rid of them.

    Q
    Can spraying the exterior of a house with Demon WP drive smokey browns INTO a house?
    We had a smoky brown cockroach problem in the soffit/fascia of our house. As far as I can tell, I've gotten rid of nearly all of them by baiting the primary harborage areas (i.e. where I see them at) with Advion. However, I wanted to spray the soffit and fascia to prevent reinfestation and kill any that are remaining. Question: Can spraying the exterior cause them to seek shelter in the attic? Should I go in the attic and "spray out" instead?
    A
    Typically it will not drive them inside because Demon is not necessarily a repellent, meaning the roaches try to avoid the area.  Roaches will walk over where you spray and get the product on their bodies.  Although they can make it inside before dying because Demon WP will take a little bit of time to kill the roach, they should be dead by the time they make it inside.  It definitely would not hurt to spray the attic space for good measure.
