Demon WP is labeled for crack and crevice application only around baseboards, etc. and should not be applied in kitchen cabinets.

Depending on how heavy your insect population is that you are trying to eliminate you would use between 1 and 2 water soluble packets of Demon WP per gallon of water and spray on a monthly basis.
It is always a good practice to alternate products with different active ingredients. A great alternative to Demon WP would be something like Suspend SC. Suspend SC is a general insecticide that is labeled for various pests, including roaches, mosquitoes, ticks, fleas, etc. This can be used indoors and outdoors around the perimeter of your home. We would recommend 30 days between applications of different products.
Depending on the size and health of the insect and the amount of Demon WP it contacts, it generally would take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours for an insect to die after contacting a treated area?
Per label, you are to dilute 1-2 envelops Demon WP Insecticide per gallon water. So, if it takes 2 gallons water to cover 1000sq feet, we recommend to mix 2 envelopes in the two gallons water.
Demon WP Insecticides labeled for mosquitoes. 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.
Demon WP Insecticide is labeled for ladybugs. You will use 1-2 packets per gallon of water. This will treat approximately 1000 square feet. Since this is an overwintering pest, you want to concentrate your treatments on the exterior of structures in late Summer and Fall until you have a hard frost. Treat especially where you get lots of afternoon sun and around doorways, window frames, and other areas where insects are likely to find harborage.
Demon WP is a great product, labeled to leave a residual that can kill cluster flies, lady bugs and a variety of different insects. We also carry a variety of different products you can rotate too as well, like Tempo SC Ultra for example. We recommend reading over our Integrated Pest Management (IPM) article to learn how you can prevent an indoor infestation.
As long as the Demon WP Insecticide treated area was allowed to dry (and the product was applied as directed) there should not be a concern of harm to your dog that would eat the grass it has been applied to. That being said we would recommend contacting your vet or poison control if your dog does start to show any illness.
We would highly reccommend contacting the manufacturer of the Demon WP to see what they recommend you do. There are no pests or directions on the Demon label what would allow it to be used at any rate on a bed or bedframe. We are not sure if using a commercial steam/furniture cleaner would be enough to pull the product off the bed to make it safe for use. You can reach Syngenta at 866-796-4368 for assistance.
