  • Asked by Brenda from Red Rock, Tx
    06/18/2013
    Q
    Length of time needed before rain for Demon insecticide
    Approximately 10-11 hours after spraying the exterior of my home with the Demon insecticide it began to rain. (I sprayed about 6:30 p.m. and it began raining the next morning.) Should that be enough time for the insecticide to "set" or will I need to respray?
    A
    As long as Demon WP had time to dry (1-2hours) the rain will not wash it away.

    Q
    Is Demon WP a repellent?
    A
    Demon WP does contain a synthetic pyrethroid and synthetic pyrethroids are known to be somewhat repellent. Demon WP should not be used to repel insects away from an area, instead it should be used to eliminate insects that touch treated areas as the repellency wears off after a short amount of time.

    Q
    Do I put the Demon WP packet in the sprayer and then add water?
    Do the plastic packets dissolve without opening them?
    A

    Yes, Demon WP packets will dissolve when mixed with water in a hand pump sprayer and applied to cracks and crevices listed on the product label. It would help to fill the spray tank 1/2 with water and dissolve a packet of Demon WP and add another 1/2 gallon of water.

    Q
    What is the difference between Tempo Ultra WP and Demon WP
    Which is better for stink bugs and spiders?
    A

    Demon WP and Tempo Ultra WP are both synthetic pyrethroids and work in much the same fashion and either one would be very effective for stink bugs and spiders.  Demon WP is actually the  product we sell in our overwintering kit for stinkbugs, ladybugs and cluster flys, it would also do a great job for spiders.

  • Asked by Torey from Virginia
    10/04/2011
    Q
    Which product has the longest residual against crickets, spiders, and centipedes?
    In my crawl space is where I initially have the problem, then they find themselves inside the home. Living with a wife and 3 daughters is not fun when these pests start to show up.
    A
    Wettable powder formulations such as Demon WP or Tempo WP or microencapsulated formulations such as Onslaught or Cy-Kick CS will have the longest lasting residuals. These formulations are more stable than other insecticide formulations and they are also labeled for crickets, spiders and centipedes. Even the longest lasting insecticide cannot keep out 100% of insects because insects can find creative ways to go around or over insecticides. We recommend that in addition to spraying the perimeter and crawlspace of your home that you also see how you can alter the environment immediately around your home to make it less favorable to insects. Please take a few moments to read our article Integrated Pest Managment to learn how to make your property less favorable to insects.

    Q
    How can I neutralize Demon WP with some other substance?
    I have a 1 room apt and I may have overdid it. I sprayed in the summer for german cockroaches and by winter all windows closed and the heat on its unbearable my face burns my arms burn it seems it turned to powder and laid on everything everything I touch I get a burning chemical sensation ,smell i honestly cant breathe in there at all. Any suggestions?
    A
    Demon WP is labeled for roaches including German Roaches. It is mixed with water and applied in the cracks and crevices only per the label. It has an indoor residual for up to three months. If applied properly, it should not be causing any burning unless unlabeled surfaces were treated. We recommend that the apartment be cleaned properly and that you seek medical attention immediately.

  • Asked by Louise from Houston Tx
    03/29/2013
    Q
    If I wash off the visible white residue when sprayed inside, is any Demon left?
    I don't want to see the white residue and I don't want my family and friends to see it either since many are concerned about chemicals. Plus I don't want to have to explain why it is there.
    A
    If you wipe off the white residue you will be wiping off the product as well. If the residue is a problem for you consider using another product that dries clear such as Talstar P or Demand CS.

    Q
    I sprayed Demon around base boards yesterday and this morning my 8 year old cat
    has vomited about 3-4 times today including tonight at 9:00pm. He is hiding and does not want to sleep on the bed with me which is his practice. He may have walked on wet Demon. What is antidote if he has Demon over exposure?
    A

    We would recommend contacting your veterinarian as soon as possible. They would better be able to give you advice on your cat.

    We do recommend keeping your animals out of any area that was sprayed until Demon WP and any other product is completely dry.

    Q
    Will demon hurt chickens that eat the dead bugs or effect the egg safety?
    Sprayed outside 3 days ago. Kept hens up until today, but they immediately went for the dead bugs when they were let out. Will they be ok? Is it safe to eat the eggs or is there a "detox" period where we should discard the eggs?
    A
    The amount of insecticide on the surfaces is so minute that its only toxic to something the size of an insect. Even if the chickens were to eat many of the dead bugs, they would not be ingesting enough poison to harm them or the eggs.

  • Asked by Nick
    07/09/2011
    Q
    Can I use insecticide granules in my crawlspace?
    I have an ant, earwig, and spider issue in my new house. I have sprayed around the yard, but they still seem to be getting in. I would assume that the only other place is under the house in the crawlspace. If I were to retreat the yard with granular insecticide, could I also use it in the crawlspace for added protection? If so, which would be the best kind?
    A
    You would not want to use granules under the crawl space of the house.  The reason being is granules require moisture, either from watering or rain, to release the insecticide that kills the insects.  You should always water in the granules after application especially if you are in an area with little rain and moisture.  This may be why you are not getting good results already in the yard.  Since rain will not make it in the crawl space, or at least it should not be, granules are not good for under the house.  In addition to applying granules in the yard and watering them in, you should apply a liquid insecticide, specifically a wettable powder around the perimeter of the house and underneath the house.  Wettable powders are easier for spiders and other insects to get on their bodies typically and are faster acting.  Our most popular wettable powder product is Demon WP and it can be applied using a hand pump sprayer.
