    Q
    Is this product safe to use around fruit trees?
    A
    No, Demon WP is not safe to use around fruit trees. You can take a look at our Edible Garden Product page to find a product that is labeled to be used on fruit trees and also labeled for the insect that you are treating for. Please be sure to read the product label before use.

    Q
    Can I use Demon WP alongside Invict Gold Cockroach Bait Gel?
    A

    You can use Demon WP Insecticide and Invict Gold or another cockroach bait gel in the same treatment rooms, however you want to avoid spraying on top of bait placements or in areas where you are going to place baits. 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.

    Q
    Will Demon WP Insecticide work on the Brown Recluse as well as the Black Widow spider?
    A
    Demon WP will kill just about any type of spider that actually comes into contact with treated areas. Demon WP will also kill most other insects (the spiders food source) which in turn helps stop new spiders from moving in.

  • Asked by Kristina from Kilgore, Tx
    07/23/2013
    Q
    What am I doing wrong?
    I used this product with an IGR. The first time I used 1 package to 1 gal of water (I also added 1 oz of IGR). I doubled both the next day when I came back and the house was still infested with fleas. We are moving into this home in the next few weeks and I can't seem to kill the fleas. I have fogged it 3 times and used Demon WP/IGR mix twice. What am I doing wrong?
    A
    Using that much chemical is what you are doing incorrectly. Fleas did not appear in the unit over night in the numbers you are seeing them, so expecting to get rid of them overnight is unreasonable. Demon is not recommended for use indoors for fleas as you can only treat baseboards with the product and not all the areas where they will hide. While the Demon is allowed to be mixed 2 scoops or 2 packets per gallon, using more IGR than what is labeled to be used is only wasting product. You should only be spraying every 2 weeks for fleas with both an approved insecticide for indoor use for fleas and an IGR. Fogging will only kill the adult fleas that are jumping around while the fog is going off. Foggers are only effective while they are active and leave behind no residual and will not penetrate flea eggs. Please review our tutorial on How To Get Rid of Fleas Indoors to effectively, accurately and safely treat for fleas. This will give you the best idea of what to do to get rid of the fleas as quickly as possible. Keep in mind that even using the right products, the right way it can take weeks to months to completely eliminate a flea infestation if its heavy to catch all the life cycles. You can review our video on the bottom of the page for Home Flea Treatment Indoors that shows you the steps you should take as well. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

  • Asked by Kim from St Cloud, Florida
    08/07/2011
    Q
    How long do you have to wait after spraying Demon before it gets wet (if it rains)?
    A
    Demon should be applied when it is dry and should also be applied when it is not going to rain for about 4 hours or longer if possible.  Once an insecticide has sufficient time to dry, usually at least 2 to 3 hours, it is considered ready for rain.

  • Asked by Rhonda from Dacula, Ga
    07/10/2013
    Q
    Spraying Demon Wp product indoors, is there any type of areas it can damage since it is water based?
    such as floors, painted wood etc.
    A
    Demon Wp is not labeled as a broadcast spray. It should not pose any damage except for the possibility it can leave a slight white residual on darl surfaces. Apply as a coarse, low pressure treatment to areas where these pests hide, such as baseboards, corners, storage areas, closets, around water pipes, doors and windows, attics and eaves, cabinets, sinks, furnaces, stoves, behind and under refrigerators, the underside of shelves, drawers and similar areas. Pay particular attention to cracks and crevices; also see Outdoor Surface Use.

  • Asked by Mod from Fresno, California
    06/28/2015
    Q
    what works better on German cockroach, tempo wp or demon wp?
    A
    Tempo Ultra WP and Demon WP are both labeled for various types of roaches. They have two different active ingredients in them, which is the main difference. We would not recommend using just one product to control roaches. A bait gel and IGR (insect growth regulator) should be added to ensure that you are maintaining control of the roaches.

  • Asked by Jennifer from Lumberton, Texas
    04/17/2013
    Q
    How often should I re-treat indoors for roaches?
    I sprayed inside my home 2 weeks ago for cockroach treatment and Demon WP worked great. Last night, I began seeing cockroaches in my house again. Should I spray again?
    A
    You can spray once a month indoors with Demon WP. We recommend you use Demon along with a couple of other products, an insect growth regulator to help halt the breeding cycle and a roach bait gel to eliminate roaches in cabinets, drawers and other hidden areas where spraying is not appropriate, to get rid of the roaches for good. Demon does work great but it cannot be sprayed in many of the places roaches hide and that is where the other products come in.

  • Asked by Tmb
    09/12/2010
    Q
    Will Demon WP kill tarantulas?
    I have tarantulas in my yard and in the wash room. Will this product kill them?
    A
    If the tarantulas are sprayed directly with the Demon WP or come in direct contact with the treated area, they will, given enough time, die. Demon WP does not offer an immediate knockdown, but instead a long residual. Spiders in general are harder to kill than other insects because their bodies are higher off the ground and they do not groom their legs(the part of them that actually comes into contact with the insecticide) and therefore take longer to receive a lethal dose of the insecticide. Spraying Demon WP will also help to get rid of the insects that spiders feed on and that will help to stop new spiders from moving in. Indoors, spray around all baseboards, door frames, window frames, under appliances, in closets and storage rooms and in areas where utilities enter into the structure. Outdoors you should spray around the bottom of the foundation, on the ground adjacent to the foundation, door frames, window frames and places where the utilities enter into the structure.

  • Asked by Dawn from Alachua
    01/26/2018
    Q
    When can I wash my floors after applying Demon WP?
    A

    We generally recommend cleaning surfaces before applying residual insecticides such as Demon WP. If you are scrubbing an area with soap and water or other cleaning products, then you would also be removing the residual insecticide, so you would not clean those areas after spraying unless you also want to remove the insecticide or plan on retreating again soon. Keep in mind that Demon WP should be used indoors only as a spot or crack and crevice spray.
