    Q
    I live on acreage and want to apply Demon on my lawn and further out about 20 feet.
    I purchased an Ortho Dial-in hose end sprayer. I am not sure how much Demon and water to put in the hose end sprayer. The bottle on the hose end sprayer holds 32oz's.
    A
    Typically you would want to apply 1 gallon per 1000 square feet of yard.  Each gallon would have one scoop of demon.  So, if your yard was 2000 square feet, you would place two scoops of Demon in the hose end sprayer, then fill the hose end sprayer to the 2 gallon mark with water.  This should apply one scoop per gallon of water over 1000 square feet.

    Q
    Will Demon WP kill tarantulas?
    I have tarantulas in my yard and in the wash room. Will this product kill them?
    A
    If the tarantulas are sprayed directly with the Demon WP or come in direct contact with the treated area, they will, given enough time, die. Demon WP does not offer an immediate knockdown, but instead a long residual. Spiders in general are harder to kill than other insects because their bodies are higher off the ground and they do not groom their legs(the part of them that actually comes into contact with the insecticide) and therefore take longer to receive a lethal dose of the insecticide. 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. Indoors, spray around all baseboards, door frames, window frames, under appliances, in closets and storage rooms and in areas where utilities enter into the structure. Outdoors you should spray around the bottom of the foundation, on the ground adjacent to the foundation, door frames, window frames and places where the utilities enter into the structure.

    Q
    Can Demon WP be used indoors?

    Demon WP can be used indoors and there are directions on the product label instructing you how to do so. Demon WP may cause a white powdery residue on dark surfaces that some people find unacceptable.

  • Asked by Mod from Fresno, California
    06/28/2015
    Q
    what works better on German cockroach, tempo wp or demon wp?
    A
    Tempo Ultra WP and Demon WP are both labeled for various types of roaches. They have two different active ingredients in them, which is the main difference. We would not recommend using just one product to control roaches. A bait gel and IGR (insect growth regulator) should be added to ensure that you are maintaining control of the roaches.

  • Asked by Kim from St Cloud, Florida
    08/07/2011
    Q
    How long do you have to wait after spraying Demon before it gets wet (if it rains)?
    A
    Demon should be applied when it is dry and should also be applied when it is not going to rain for about 4 hours or longer if possible.  Once an insecticide has sufficient time to dry, usually at least 2 to 3 hours, it is considered ready for rain.

    Q
    Will Demon WP Insecticide work on the Brown Recluse as well as the Black Widow spider?
    A
    Demon WP will kill just about any type of spider that actually comes into contact with treated areas. Demon WP will also kill most other insects (the spiders food source) which in turn helps stop new spiders from moving in.

    Q
    Is Demon WP safer around my 6 month old baby?
    I have fleas in my apartment, is it safe to use around my 6 month old baby and how long do we have to stay out before going back in?
    A
    Demon WP is not labeled for indoor flea control.  You would want to use a product such as Precor 2000 Plus Premise Spray. This product is easy to use and is safe to broadcast all over your floor surface. Precor 2000 Plus Premise Spray will kill adult fleas but also stop the reproductive cycle of those flease preventing them from laying more eggs. You would want to keep your baby and all children out of the treatment area until it dries completely. It normally takes a couple of hours to full dry. Once it has dried it is safe for you to bring your baby back into the treated area.

  • Asked by Kristina from Kilgore, Tx
    07/23/2013
    Q
    What am I doing wrong?
    I used this product with an IGR. The first time I used 1 package to 1 gal of water (I also added 1 oz of IGR). I doubled both the next day when I came back and the house was still infested with fleas. We are moving into this home in the next few weeks and I can't seem to kill the fleas. I have fogged it 3 times and used Demon WP/IGR mix twice. What am I doing wrong?
    A
    Using that much chemical is what you are doing incorrectly. Fleas did not appear in the unit over night in the numbers you are seeing them, so expecting to get rid of them overnight is unreasonable. Demon is not recommended for use indoors for fleas as you can only treat baseboards with the product and not all the areas where they will hide. While the Demon is allowed to be mixed 2 scoops or 2 packets per gallon, using more IGR than what is labeled to be used is only wasting product. You should only be spraying every 2 weeks for fleas with both an approved insecticide for indoor use for fleas and an IGR. Fogging will only kill the adult fleas that are jumping around while the fog is going off. Foggers are only effective while they are active and leave behind no residual and will not penetrate flea eggs. Please review our tutorial on How To Get Rid of Fleas Indoors to effectively, accurately and safely treat for fleas. This will give you the best idea of what to do to get rid of the fleas as quickly as possible. Keep in mind that even using the right products, the right way it can take weeks to months to completely eliminate a flea infestation if its heavy to catch all the life cycles. You can review our video on the bottom of the page for Home Flea Treatment Indoors that shows you the steps you should take as well. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

  • Asked by Rhonda from Dacula, Ga

    Q
    Spraying Demon Wp product indoors, is there any type of areas it can damage since it is water based?
    such as floors, painted wood etc.
    A
    Demon Wp is not labeled as a broadcast spray. It should not pose any damage except for the possibility it can leave a slight white residual on darl surfaces. Apply as a coarse, low pressure treatment to areas where these pests hide, such as baseboards, corners, storage areas, closets, around water pipes, doors and windows, attics and eaves, cabinets, sinks, furnaces, stoves, behind and under refrigerators, the underside of shelves, drawers and similar areas. Pay particular attention to cracks and crevices; also see Outdoor Surface Use.

    Q
    For a first treatment to kill German roaches should I use 1 packet of Demon WP to a gallon of water or 2?
    A

    For what is known as a clean out, you can start out using 2 packets to 1 gallon of water and then use just 1 packet of Demon WP to each gallon for your follow up spray 21-30 days later.

    Q
    Question about spray bottle.
    Hi, I do not have access to the kind of pump sprayer recommended and I will not be able to obtain one, so I need to improvise. It says to mix Demon WP up in a gallon of water. Can I then put it into a standard spray bottle and apply it this way? I really don't see what the difference is in how it is applied. Please do not just tell me to buy a sprayer because I cannot afford one. What am I asking is, if I apply it this way, will it still work? Thank you.
    A
    The only way you could apply the Demon WP in a spray bottle would be if you diluted it in a gallon water first and then poured into spray bottle.

  • Asked by Joe from Puckett Mississippi
    05/13/2015
    Q
    How long does it take for Demon WP to kill fleas after treatment?
    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.
