Demon WP will kill Midges that come in contact with it. It cannot be applied as a broadcast, however. Talstar P would be a great product for you. Spraying a product such as Talstar P on window screens, doors, bushes, and plants around your home can act as midge repellant to keep midges away. Citronella candles or oils can act as a midge repellant, but they aren’t as effective when used alone. Talstar P is safe for children and pets after dried.
Demon WP Insecticide will kill ants that come in contact with it, but it will not eradicate them.
Phantom would be a good choice for ant control. Phantom should be applied around baseboards, door frames, window frames and places where utilities (cables, pipes and wires) enter through the wall as these are the most likely places for the ants to enter/exit. You can also treat all around the foundation of your home and the exterior window frames, door frames and places where utilities enter to stop the ants from gaining access in the first place. Phantom is a non-repellent insecticide that has a delayed reaction which allows ants time to get back to the colony and spread the product. In essence, the ants will not be able to tell that the product is in place and they will pick it up on the fine hairs all over their body and inadvertently carry it back to the colony where over a course of a few days it will knock out the entire colony. Phantom works really well because you don't have to worry about whether the ants will all take the bait, they just need to walk over the treated areas. Phantom comes in two formulations, concentrated liquid and aerosol for your convenience. Be sure to keep your pets out of the area while you are treating and they can safely return to the treated areas as soon as they are dry, usually 1-2 hours.
Please see our Ant Treatment Guide for more information.

Recommendations are based on what you are treating for. Demon WP is a very good general purpose insecticide for pests like spiders, roaches, etc. Keep in mind that it can leave a white residue behind on some surfaces.
Another good option for general pest control would be Cyzmic CS. This is a liquid concentrate that is mixed with water. It will go on clear and dry clear as well. The residual indoors is 90 days and 30 days outdoors.

We do not recommend that your child eat the food that fell into the treated crevice that was recently treated with Demon WP Insecticide.

Depending on the size and health of the fly and the amount of Demon WP it contacts, it generally would take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours for an insect like a fly to die after contacting an area treated with Demon WP. For a very quick kill for flying insects, we recommend Maxforce Fly Spot Bait or Alpine Pressurized Fly Bait.
Demon WP is not labeled to control pantry pests, although it would likely kill any that contacted it. For the best control of a stored product pest such as the red flour beetle, it is really essential to keep looking for and to locate that initial source to get full control of the infestation. You can then vacuum and clean infested areas, treat cracks and crevices with a residual insecticide, and use traps for the adult insects. Gentrol Complete is a great spray to use since it includes both insecticide and Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) in one product. You can use GreenWay Pantry Patrol Traps for a pheromone trap.
Demon WP Insecticide cannot be used inside the home for fleas, only outdoors as directed on the prouct label. Fleas treatments with approved products are generally done every 2 weeks with lots of vacuuming in between.
