Your general rule is to SPRAY LOW and BAIT HIGH. To mix the Demon WP, you should use 1-2 packets per gallon of water, so if you were to use less water, you should still use at least 1/2 gallon of water for 1 packet. You could also choose a ready-to-use product instead of a concentrate so that you do not have to worry about mixing correctly. We sell a new product called Dos Flea and Crawling Insect Spray which contains both an insecticide and an IGR for control of roaches and other listed insects. Please see our Roach Treatment Guide for more tips and information.
Demon WP will not kill hookworms. Unfortunately there is not a product on the market that is labeled or recommended for hookworms. While some insecticides that are labeled for turf or lawn infesting insect may work, there has not been enough research to add hookworms to the product labels. We recommend thatif you have pets, they be moved out of the contaminated area for at least 6 weeks (during warm spring/summer months, longer during cool winter/fall months) and all feces be removed. Keeping the animals out of the contaminated area for at least 6 weeks should help control the infestation pattern. It is also important to remove feces from the new latrine area to avoid another infestation.
Demon WP Insecticide will create a barrier of treatment around and inside your home to treat and prevent Palmetto Bugs.

As long as you read and follow the Demon WP product label there should be no health or safety issues for a pregnant woman or anyone else.

Everyone can re-enter the treated room as soon as the area is dry and the room has been vented, which usually takes about an hour.

It is always a good practice to alternate products with different active ingredients. A great alternative to Demon WP would be something like Suspend SC.

We would recommend 30 days between applications of different products.
