    Q
    Will Demon WP affect chickens or be in their eggs if they eat bugs killed by it?
    I have big black water roaches outside under the deck... if they die from the Demon and the chickens eat them,, will they have poison in the eggs.. or will it hurt the chickens? Thanks
    A

    No, the Demon WP would not have any effect on the eggs produced by the chickens. There is such a small amount that would be in their system that kills them it would be eliminated by the time the chicken would come in contact with the roaches. The chickens would however need to be completely out of the area while you are spraying the Demon WP initially and until the product completly dries.

    Q
    Will Demon WP kill dog ticks and do you ship to Hawaii?
    I recently noticed tiny ticks on my dog; just purchased Preventic dog collar from the vet but need to treat my yard.
    A
    Yes, we do ship to Hawaii. Demon WP can be used for ticks but it will leave a white powdery residue everywhere you spray. Talstar P would be a great choice for indoor and outdoor tick control. We also recommend adding an insect growth regulator such as Archer IGR to Talstar to stop the ticks from being able to develop while you are trying to eliminate the infestation. You will use 1 oz of Talstar +  1oz of Archer IGR per gallon of water per 1,000 sq ft area. Do not make spot applications. Treat the entire area where exposure to ticks may occur. Use more water (not more product) when treating areas with dense ground cover or heavy leaf litter. Ticks may be reintroduced from surrounding areas on host animals. Retreatment may be necessary to achieve and/or maintain control during periods of high pest pressure. 

    You can also help by creating a "tick safe zone" in your yard. You should have an area that is at least 9 ft wide between your yard and any wooded area. Trim back trees to allow as much sunlight as possible into your yard. Keep grass as short. Remove as much leaf litter as possible. A clearly defined, well manicured border between your yard and any wooded areas or weedy lots will reduce the chance of ticks infesting your yard.

    Q
    I have the one pound can of Demon WP. How many scoops to 1 Gallon of water?
    A
    Demon WP can be mixed at a rate of one level scoop per gallon of water, or two level scoops per gallon of water.  Most pest problems require only one scoop per gallon.  If you are treating for bees, wasps, scorpions, roaches, or carpenter ants you would use two scoops per gallon.

    Q
    Will Demon WP kill black widow spiders in my house?
    Will Demon WP kill black widow spiders in my house? I have a puppy and am worried she might get bit. I also have big brown spiders outdoors. Is Demon WP the best choice?
    A
    Demon WP would be a great choice for indoor and outdoor spider control. The active ingredient in Demon WP is cypermethrin, which is known to be one of the top choices for spider control. Spraying Demon WP will also help to get rid of the insects that spiders feed on and that will help to stop new spiders from moving in.

  • Asked by Krystina from Caldwell, Texas
    04/26/2015
    Q
    I have been using Demon WP for years and have gotten it on my hands, clothes, and possibly inhaled.
    I have been using DemonWP for several years. I use it about 1-2 times per year. I never used gloves while spraying it and I tried not to inhale when I was spraying it. Afterward I would properly store it, wash out the spray bottle, wash off my hands, arms and any other exposed skin and change clothes. Am I in any danger for not using gloves? Or have any reason to be concerned of any longterm effects of the product touching my skin?
    A
    The product label for Demon WP recommends contacting a doctor or poison control center as soon as possible if the product is either inhaled or gotten on the skin.  Please contact a doctor or poison control for more information as to what the possible effects may be.

  • Asked by Raleigh from Dallas, Tx
    06/07/2016
    Q
    Do I need to rotate products if using Demon WP?
    It is currently recommended to alternate insecticides with different modes of action against the pest so that no more than two consecutive applications are made with the same MOA. This is to minimize Insecticide Resistance. What is a good product to use in a rotation with Demon WP? How long should one wait before applying a second product after Demon?
    A

    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.

    Q
    Is it safe for my animals to graze where we treated with Demon WP? Chickens cows goats?
    A
    Demon WP should NOT be applied to areas where animals will be grazing. We recommend contacting your Local Cooperative Extension Office to find out what product would be safe and effective for you to use in your area. Once you have been given a recommendation, we can try to help you locate the product for shipment.

    Q
    How long does it take to kill fleas using Demon WP?
    A

    Demon WP is not labeled for indoor flea treatments and could cause your lawn to turn white (powdery look). Please let us know if you have already treated with the product or if you were considering this to be a treatment option. The kill time for fleas can vary depending on the life cycle stage. Also, this kill time can vary depending on if and when they came into contact with the product. We will be able to offer advice on application and product suggestions that best fit your needs. It is important to perform a flea treatment indoors and outdoors once every two weeks with a minimum of two applications. Indoor vacuuming will be done daily. Please find our treatment article below that includes helpful videos for flea eradication.

    Q
    Does Demon WP kill bed bugs or is it active against them or what mix with it is for best results?
    A
    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. Of course, we are always here to help you with any questions as well.

    Q
    After using Demon WP, I notice a white residue on the floor inside my home. Will mopping make poison not work?
    I am using demon WP. I want to know if mopping up the white residue it left behind after drying will make the poison lose its effect.
    A
    Yes, Demon Wp does have the potential to leave a slight powdery residue. If you should mop the treated areas it will lower efficacy of the active ingredient. We recommend at least waiting a week to two weeks before mopping.

    If my dogs licks this product after the Demon WP Insecticide has dried, will the product hurt them?
