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

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.

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 b…

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.

Can I use Suspend SC inside and outside perimeter of my home?
I have roaches coming in from outside of my house. I want to keep them out and kill them when they do enter. Which product should I use for both?

Suspend can be used but it does not have a very quick knockdown which is what you need for large roaches entering from outside. 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 house. Spray 2 to 3 feet up onto the foundation 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

I am having a serious Boxelder bug problem.
I have had them for years! No one can get control, not even the pros. They get a treatment and move to another area of the yard. Now they are working their way inside. I also am starting to get roaches; I bought a dryer from a yard sale. Now they just appeared a few days after that. Don't know if they came in with the dryer or not. Again, the pros cannot get control. HELP!!! I do have a small dog and grandbabies on the way. They are also a problem down the road from me. They are in multitudes and I have never seen nor dealt with anything like this.

Outdoor applications of Demon WP made once a month October - November can help you get control of the boxelder bugs, though you must understand that it will not drive them off of your property, it will only stop most of them from gaining entry into your home. You should also take the time to inspect the outside of your home and seal up any cracks, crevices or gaps you find so that you are limiting places where the insects can enter your home. Demon WP will also help eliminate roaches from your home but you will need to use it in conjunction with a high quality roach bait gel and an insect growth regulator as roaches like to hide and may not readily come into contact with treated surfaces. You can find both a roach bait gel and an IGR sold together in our Roach Control Kits. When the actual application of the Demon WP is being made all pets and children should be out of the house, and they can return as soon as the treated areas are dry. The roach bait gel should be placed directly into cracks and crevices around counters, sinks, drawers and cabinets. This will make the gel available to the roaches and inaccessible to your pets and children. The Gentrol Point Source do not actually contain any insecticides, just an insect juvenile growth hormone mimic. These discs can also be placed out of reach of children and animals and are readily used in sensitive locations such as hospitals and day cares everyday. Severe infestations may take several months to eliminate no matter what products you use. Sanitation will be a key factor in eliminating the roaches. Please take a few minutes to read the hints and tips in our German Cockroach article and our Boxelder Bug article to learn more about eliminating these pests.

You cannot spray Demon WP or any other insecticide into your ducts. You can spray all around the exterior of your home and in your crawl space if you have one and around the vent covers. You should thoroughly check your duct work for holes and seal up any if found. In most cases insects are not actually in the ducts but instead they are crawling on exterior of them and then squeezing out beside the duct and coming out of the vent cover. You should remove the vent cover and caulk around the duct so that there are no opening allowing insects to pass beside the ducts and out of the vent covers.

Demon Wp is one of the strongest products still left on the market. That being said it will not kill immediately once dry after a spider walks over it. Spiders are especially hard to kill because their main bodies are up off of the ground and they do not groom their legs like other insects. There is no product that will kill very quickly, within minutes, after it is dry. Only contact kill products, aerosols mainly that are sprayed directly on a spider, like Raid, will kill it that fast. Demon is still considered the best residual product for spiders.

Q

Demon WP comes in either 4 water soluble packets or a 1 pound can. What is the weight of the 4 packets?
I'm trying to compare the price of the packets to the 1 pound can. If I use 1 packet per gallon, how many gallons would the 1 pound can make?

A

Each water soluble packet equals .33 oz of Demon which is the equivalent of 1 scoop of Demon from the 1 lb jar. If you use the 1 scoop per gallon usage rate you can make 48 gallons of solution.

A

Demon Wp can be applied to trees, however, it does have a tendency to leave a white powdery residue. A better option would be Talstar P . Talstar P leaves a residual that is clear and odorless. You would want to retreat at least once every 4 weeks to continue the residual effect.

A better option would be something Talstar which contains Bifenthrin. You should start applications before the grasshoppers have a chance to hatch. You should thoroughly spray your lawn and water in the application with about a .25 in of water to help the bifenthrin get past the thatch layer and into the soil where grass hoppers actually develop. If you already have grasshoppers you can use Talstar P at the highest usage rate of 1 oz of product per 1 gallon of water for the quickest knockdown.

Q

We just ordered 2 bottles of the Dominion 2l termiticide concentrate, will this work on earwigs?
We just bought a house and have noticed a lot of earwigs. We bought this product due to the fact our neighbors have termite traps out and we have noticed some damage on our siding. We will do outside trenching to insure we have no problems in the future.

A

Dominion 2L is not labeled to treat Earwigs. By trenching and applying Dominion 2L, you will have treatment and prevention of Termites for up to 7 years. To treat Earwigs we recommend using a product like Demon WP, that can effectively be used indoors and out for treatment of Earwigs.
