    Q
    Can I apply Demon to the ground after it rains?
    A
    The ground should be dry before you apply Demon WP. If you apply Demon WP to a wet surface it will not have the opprotunity to bond to the surface and could potentially wash away.

  • Asked by Diane from Hortense Ga

    Q
    After I have sprayed an insecticide how long should I wait before I can put out a roach bait?
    We've already used raid max spray to no avail.now we want to use a roach bait. Do we need to wait a few weeks for the spray to dissapait or can we use a bait now??
    A

    When treating for roaches, we recommend using a bait, a liquid insecticide and an insect growth regulator (IGR). You are able to treat with all 3 of these products at the same time, just not on top of each other. For instance, our Roach Control Kit # 2 has all 3.

    The Demon WP is for crack and crevice treatment around baseboards. Dilute 1 packet per gallon of water in a pump sprayer and apply in cracks and crevices where pests are seen, may harbor, or may enter the structure (corners, baseboards, and under and behind appliances) Do not spray on top of baits where bait will be used.

    Gentrol Point Source Stations (IGR) - this is insect "birth control". These packs contain  Hydroprene, which halts population growth by keeping younger stages of roaches from developing into breeding adults therefore, reducing the population.  These packs last 90 days and are to placed in areas where roach activity has been observed ( cabinets, closets, pantries, drawers, refuse areas, electrical boxes, equipment, and false ceilings)
    Invict Roach Bait Gel - Apply bait in small spots about ¼” in diameter. For most infestations, applications should range from 10 to 20 spots per 100 square feet. Smaller, more frequent spots are better than occasional large spots. Pay particular attention to cracks which lead into void areas, and specifically look for warm, moist areas. Insert the syringe tip directly into the crack and apply about 0.5g (pea size) amount of bait.
    ** You do not place bait on top of where you have sprayed the Demon WP ***
    All 3 of the products are meant to be used at the same time for effective treatment.

  • Asked by Barbara from Tolar Texas
    05/22/2012
    Q
    Can Demon WP be applied to carpet for the treatment of fleas?
    I have used this product on the baseboards and all the exterior of my home but still have a flea problem.
    A
    Demon WP cannot be applied to carpet for flea control indoors. According to the Demon WP product label Demon WP can only be used outdoors for flea control. When using Demon WP outdoors for flea control it is important that you apply the product to places where the fleas develop such as pet resting areas and moist shady spots and not just on the exterior of the structure. We recommend using Ultracide for indoor flea control. It is our recommendation and industry standard that you vacuum immediately before the application of Ultracide and every day or every other day after the application for the next two weeks. Vacuums can physically remove a decent percentage of flea eggs that are in the carpet, along with much of the organic crud that the flea larvae feed on. At the end of the 2 week treatment period you may be required to do a follow up treatment of Ultracide to get rid of any stragglers.

    Q
    Does Demon WP wash off the outside of a house in the rain?
    We are trying to fight stink bugs.
    A
    Demon WP typically leaves a 30 day residual even if it rains. The places on your house where the product is protected from direct rain contact like against the house that may be somewhat sheltered by the roof line, will last longer than other places.

    Q
    What happens to insecticide after mixed 24 hours
    I read one of your Q&A that the insecticide should be used w/i 24 hours of mixing. I put a packet in a gallon container, mix & then fill a smaller sprayer and spray my apt as needed. It's been sitting around for over a day. Will it still be effective? Thank you
    A
    Using Diluted Demon Wp after it has been mixed 24 hours would not be advised. The reason being is that the active ingredient will start to break down and cause the solution to become less effective.

    Q
    Will Demon WP kill millipedes?
    A

    Yes, Demon WP can be used to control millipedes and dozens of other common crawling and flying pests. Be sure to check for ways to reduce moisture buildup in the environment to create an environment less favorable for these insects, such as pulling back groundcover and trimming plants near the foundation of structures.

    Q
    Will Demon WP stain my Pergo Laminate floors?
    A
    Demon will not stain any type of material.  However, since Demon is a powder, after you mix it with water and apply it, there may be a white residue that is left after it dries.  You typically will only see this if you have dark colored flooring and dark baseboards.  The residue can be wiped with a wet, white paper towel very easily.

    You should try not to mix more than you need of Demon WP Insecticide, but in the event that you do, you will pour any unused portion of solution right up against the foundation of the structure you are treating.

  • Asked by Kathy from Houston, Tx
    06/05/2013
    Q
    How much Demon WP do I use in a hose-end sprayer?
    We have a hose end sprayer with 1 oz to 8 oz on the dial and it sprays 4 gallons of water per minute. The bottle is 32 oz, how many demon WP packets do we put in the jar to kill spiders?
    A
    You cannot use Demon WP in a hose end sprayer. This is a wettable powder that must be mixed and dissolved into water at the rate of 1-2 packets per gallon of water. There is no way to make a hose end sprayer suck up a powder to disperse in the water as these hose end applicators are only designed for liquids. You also cannot dilute it first and then pour it into the hose end bottle as you will not be accurately treating with the right dilution. You will need to use a hand pump sprayer similar to this Chapin Premier Sprayer to apply this type of product for spider control.

  • Asked by Maayan from Las Vegas
    06/25/2015
    Q
    Can Demon WP be mixed with Suspend SC?
    A
    Demon WP and Suspend SC should NOT be mixed together. There is no valid reason to mix Demon WP and Suspend SC together.  Suspend SC is a synthetic pyrethroid and Demon WP already contains a synthetic pyrethroid, so there would be nothing to gain by mixing these products together. Making a pesticide too strong can actually backfire. Areas that are treated with this overly concentrated spray will be repellent and insects will simply avoid the treated areas prolonging the infestation.

  • Asked by Tommy from Como, Ms
    12/18/2015
    Q
    Can Demon WP Insecticide be used any time of year outdoors, or is it best to wait until you see pests?
    Also, will it work on lady bugs?
    A

    You are able to apply Demon WP any time of year when you see activity or as a preventative treatment as long as the temperature is not at or below freezing when you are treating. Lady bugs are not specifically listed on the label, but Demon WP does treat for very common insects around the structure including spiders, cockroaches, boxelder bugs, fleas, and ants.
