We apologize, but we are not able to provide medical advice so cannot advise "safe" time frame someone with COPD to re-enter an area that has been treated with Demon WP Insecticide . Please consult your doctor.
Demon WP Insecticide is not labeled nor would it be recommended to treat a pantry for moths. The best way to eliminate pantry moths is to find the infested food items and dispose of them immediately, then thoroughly clean the infested cabinet. The moth larvae (immature moths) can usually be found in grain products such as pasta, rice, flour, or spices. The adult moths and wandering larvae can be killed with D-Force Insecticide. The active male moths can be lured and trapped with the ProPest Pheronet Pantry Pest Traps. We have put together a Pantry Pest Kit that contains everything you need to get rid of the pantry moths.
Demon WP Insecticide can safely be used on shrubs.
Demon WP is not really selective, so unfortunately it is possible that butterflies or bees could be harmed if they were to come into contact with a treated area. To minimize this risk, it is recommended to apply in the early morning or in the evening when these insects are least likely to be foraging, and not to apply to any flowering vegetation.
While Demon WP Insecticide will kill carpenter ants, it will not allow you to kill the colony, which is necessary to eradicate a carpenter ant infestation. Our Indoor Ant Kit contains the necessary products to eradicate an entire colony of carpenter ants indoors. Please take a moment to review our How to Get Rid of Carpenter Ants Guide for great information on getting rid of carpenter ants.
You would want to make sure the area you are treating with Demon WP Insecticide is clean and completely dry before applying the product.
You should not apply Demon WP when you are experiencing any freezing temperatures per the product label.
Demon WP is safe to use around children and pets when mixed and used correctly. Keep children and pets out of the area until the application has had enough time to completly dry, once dry it is safe to resume normal activity. With most professional products such as Demon WP, once you mix it with water it is only strong enough to kill small insects.
Moping the floors should be done prior to applying Demon WP Insecticide and you should avoid cleaning up the residual left behind on sprayed areas. When applied as directed onthe label you are only spraying along baseboards and in cracks and crevices inside not the entire floor. You should avoid mopping these edges as this will remove the residual product.
