  • Asked by Jason from Fort Lauderdale, Florida
    09/23/2013
    Q
    I used DemonMax for ticks in my house - cracks, floorboards, etc. why am I still seeing tiny ticks!
    I used 1oz for a gallon of water and added a growth regulator. I sprayed every room after vacuuming and carpet cleaning. I washed my dogs with a tick shampoo and I sprayed my couch as well....why are they still here? Will this product work?
    A
    How long it takes the ticks to die after they come into contact with a treated area will depend on a number of factors. It will depend on the maturity of the tick as well as how long they stayed on the treated area, how long it has been since the area was treated and the concentration that was used to treat the area. Demon Max is a great product for tick control - and you used the correct dosage. Typically it can take anywhere from a couple of hours to a day or so for them to die. It can take several weeks for you to stop seeing ticks indoors because the ticks like to stay hidden which also means they could be staying out of treated areas and eggs may hatch out prolonging the infestation. We recommend doing follow up treatments every two weeks at the highest usage rate of 1 oz of product per gallon of water until you do not see any ticks.

    Q
    I sprayed Demon WP in my kitchen where the roaches are the worst.
    I have taken everything out of cabinets, is it ok to put the plates, food, etc. back in the cabinets once it dries. Or should I wait til it dries then wipe it up and then put it back?
    A
    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.

    Q
    Can you recommend a product as affective as Demon WP, but without the white powdery residue left.
    I have used Demon WP, and I like it a lot. Don't like the residue on my cedar siding, but don't want to give up the results I got from it.
    A
    Yes, Martins Viper contains the same active ingredient, but will not leave a white residue. Please be sure to check the product label and make sure the specific insects you are treating for are listed.

    Q
    How long after spraying Demon wp should you wait to spray Gentrol?
    I got demon wp going spray along counter top against wall and along appliances, was going to spray gentrol there and in cabinents, was wondering how long should i wait for the demon to dry before spraying gentrol.
    A
    We normally do not recommend to apply Demon Wp in food handling areas. If you are treating for roaches, you can bait on the counter tops an in cabinets. You can spray Demon mixed with Gentrol along baseboards, cracks, crevices, and outdoors 2-3 feet up and out around the perimeter. You would mix 1 packet Demon with 1 oz Gentrol int o 1 gallon water.

  • Asked by Gary from Scottsboro, Al
    08/21/2014
    Q
    Is Demon WP okay to use on carpet?
    I wanted to to know if it was okay to get some on the carpet that meets the baseboards? Since its a wet able powder didn't know if it would clump up or anything!
    A
    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.

  • Asked by Christopher from Las Vegas
    03/26/2015
    Q
    Is there a benefit to mixing Demon WP with Onslaught Spider and Scorpion?
    Would it be better to alternate between Demon WP and Onslaught Spider and Scorpion or to mix them and spray together to control bark scorpions?
    A
    It is not necessary to mix two insecticides together. What you could do to ensure that the product works faster is use ExciteR. It can be mixed with either Demon WP or Onslaught FastCap Spider and Scorpion Insecticide. ExciteR will provide a quicker knockdown when mixed with an insecticide. If used alone, the residual is not as long.

  • Asked by Mike from Cincinnati, Oh

    Q
    What product would be good to use for brown recluse spiders?
    Bought a house last fall which turns out to have confirmed brown recluse. I have some Demon WP left but need to re-order. Should I stick with Demon for inside and outside control or switch to Onslaught Scorpion & Spider? I'm also planning on ordering/using Talstar PL granules outside. Thank you!
    A
    Demon WP is labeled for spiders, however with using the same product for a long period of time insects can become resistent to that active ingredient. You can solve that problem by simple switchning to another product with a different active ingredient such as Onslaught FastCap Spider and Scorpion Insecticide which is also labeled for spiders.

    Q
    Why are one pound jars of Demon WP not being made anymore?
    Why are one pound jars of WP not being made anymore? I am a pest tech and can only get my hands on WSP formulations.
    A

    The bulk 1 lb jars of wettable powder have been discontinued due to issues with misuse as well as reports of the product being accidentally inhaled upon opening the jar.  They are now only available in pre-measured packets like Demon WP or Cyper WSP.

  • Asked by Faith from Vidalia, Ga

    Q
    Is it possible for Demon WP to be transferred through the AC into my home?
    I have very sensitive skin. My fiance sprayed the outside of the house 24 hours ago with Demon WP.We also have a portable AC window unit (the kind with the hose that sticks out the window). It blows directly on me at night. I am worried that the powder will be sucked up by the AC unit and blown onto me. Yes I know this sounds ridiculous but I get severe rashes if simple hand soap is not properly rinsed off my skin so I do not want to chance something even harsher that kills live organisms. Is it a possibility the powder could be transferred and blown into the home via AC? Thank you!
    A

    Provided the product was used according the the product labeI instructions it would be highly unlikely as Demon WP is mixed with water and then sprayed outdoors. There should be no interaction with your AC venting in order for this to be able to get indoors like that.

    Q
    Will Demon WP hurt my horses?
    I have really bad fire ants in my pasture .
    A

    Demon WP is not labeled to be used in pastures. Extinguish Fire Ant Bait is labeled to be used in pastures where horses graze.  You can use this product on pastureland, however you must remove all grazing livestock for at least 48 hours after application. Then they can return to the land after 48 hours.

  • Asked by Bill from Jacksonville, Fl
    09/13/2016
    Q
    Will Demon WP work for ants?
    A

    Demon WP will kill just about any insect, including all types of ants. However, Demon WP will only kill the ants that walk over where you treat around your home. It will not take care of the queen and other ants back where the colony is. The key to ant control is to use a product that will not kill the ants around your home on contact like Demon WP will, but a product that they will take back to the colony and kill the queen and other ants at the source.  Our most popular product for this is Termidor SC. Or, you can use ant baits that the ants will eat and take back to the colony.

  • Asked by Ch from Sf Bay Area, Ca
    11/20/2016
    Q
    Can Demon WP be used for bark beetles?
    I would like to protect our ailing oak from further bark beetle damage. Can I spray the trunk once per month in the dry season, May - October? I'd guess they would only come in contact with it when they land or when they emerge (which is too late). Is there a better product, perhaps more of a repellent?
    A

    Unfortunately, Demon WP is not labeled for bark beetles. We would recommend a product like Tengard SFR One-Shot Termiticide. Per the product label to prevent an infestation to trees and woody ornamentals, you would thoroughly spray the bark but not to the point of runoff.
