Demon WP Insecticide - Questions & Answers

Demon WP like any other product we sell is very safe as long as you follow the application instructions.  When you mix Demon or any other product on our site with water, the solution is only strong enough to kill small insects.  It would be advised to not apply where your daughter will come in contact with it easily.  First off, 99%  of all bugs come from outside so you should apply most of your product around the outside perimeter of the house where you do not have to worry about your daughter coming close to it.  Inside, you should apply the product in cracks and crevices, underneath and behind appliances, window sills, where pipes go into the walls underneath sinks and behind toilets, etc....places that are hard for your daughter to get to.

Demon WP Insecticide is safe for children and pets after it has dried.

Once Demon WP is dry, is it okay to put your belongings back into the cabinets. Depending on how thoroughly you sprayed the cabinets and how much residue is left behind - It is up to you if you want to wipe it out as well before replacing your belongings.

Demon WP is great for all insects, including spiders.  It will do a great job for wolf spiders as well as all other insect control.  You should apply Demon WP once a month for maximum effectiveness. 

You can spray once a month indoors with Demon WP. We recommend you use Demon along with a couple of other products, an insect growth regulator to help halt the breeding cycle and a roach bait gel to eliminate roaches in cabinets, drawers and other hidden areas where spraying is not appropriate, to get rid of the roaches for good. Demon does work great but it cannot be sprayed in many of the places roaches hide and that is where the other products come in.

Demon WP is only labeled to be used as a crack and crevice treatment along the baseboards. If you have the option use a pin stream setting on your sprayer, you should get a direct stream and it would not spray on the carpet areas. It is possible it will leave some white residue on the carpet but we have not heard of any clumping. Please let us know if you have any further questions.

That is a hard question to answer because both work very well.  However, we do sell the Demon WP in our Roach Control Kits and it does work a little faster and provides a punch for quick knock down.  Sprays alone usually do not work.  You should use this along with a Roach Bait so the roaches have something to take back in the walls and other hiding places that you do can not spray.  Our Roach Control Kits have a very high success rate and incorporates sprays and baits.

Roach Control Information

Mix one packet of Demon WP Insecticide  to one gallon of water and make sure it dissolves completely before you begin spraying. This mixture will treat 1,000 sq ft and you will need to re-treat every 14 days (do not treat daily) as needed for flea control.  Most folks find they have to do between 2-4 treatments to get rid of the fleas for good along with the use of an IGR such as Archer IGR. You may want to look over our Flea Treatment Guide for more tips and information.

Demon WP is an excellent product for indoor and outdoor use. However, it does leave a powdery residue because it is a wettable powder.

If you are looking to a general pesticide spray, we would recommend Bifen IT. It is an amazing insecticide that is good for various pests, such as spiders, roaches, mosquitoes, etc. It can be sprayed indoors along the baseboards and cracks and crevices. Outdoors it can be sprayed around the perimeter of your home, on ornamentals and trees as well. This is not labeled for edibles. It is also safe once it is dry and dries clear so your pet will not see it. Mopping or getting where you sprayed wet does not affect the product.
