Demon WP Insecticide gives the following instructions on the product label: For mosquito control, apply as a general structural perimeter spray to landscape plantings, turf, and building foundations to control mosquitoes. Yards or other frequented areas enclosed by landscaping can benefit from the creation of a mosquito barrier to reduce invading mosquitoes by the treatment of perimeter vegetation. For best results, apply Demon WP in Water-Soluble Packets at recommended rates in 2–5 gallons of water per 1,000 sq ft. Higher volumes applied result in better coverage and, as a rule, will improve control. Application to vegetation away from structures may require additional applicator certification, e.g., in turf or ornamental categories.
