The shortest time to leave fan off would be about 6 hours after letting off the bug bomb. However, I would recommend leaving the fans off and room sealed up for about 12 hours, especially if the mite problem is bad. That will ensure for a deeper saturation of pyrethrum into your garden. Only release this bomb while the lights are off.

I used it last summer (Tampa Bay area) and had good results. I put it in a pump sprayer and sprayed all around the doors, base of the house, on the walls, and deck. Not as many got in the house since they weren't hanging around the doors. With all our rains, I had to re spray every couple of days though. It seems to repel them for awhile. I didn't have as many getting in the house last season. If it looked like there was going to be a few days of no rain, I would spray the shrubbery too. You definitely need to strain the juice with some cheese cloth as you put it in the sprayer. It's garlic particles will clog the sprayer wand. I wore disposable gloves when handling the cheese cloth. That STRONG garlic smell will stick with you if you get it on you. It didn't get rid of them all, but it did help, and it's not toxic. Reapply as often as you like. Just don't spray the bees and butterflies directly.

I think the product works well. Last Spring, most days I saw a couple carpenter ants here and a couple there - outside my house. And in a 1-week period - 3 inside my house (The ones inside my house might have come inside to forage for food because they just woke up from hibernating somewhere outside). I sprinkled about 1/2 bottle around the outside of my house and now I haven't seen any ants - not even the smaller black ones that are usually outside my house. Now that the ants are less of them - or gone, the spiders in the grass have multiplied - More spiders in my house.

I have them in the garage and around the house. Not in the living room or bedrooms. Its a little quiet clicking noise, but not loud. I had it in the living room, but I kept focusing on it rather then the tv. Maybe because it was new. Probable could eventually tone it out. See a few mice in my detatched garage, but mainly dead ones from the poison tabs I put in there. No mice ever in house. Dont know about other pests it says it gets rid of. Not a lot of spiders everbin our house. Let me know if this helped you or not

I found that whether it runs them off or kills them it lasts for at least a week depending on the weather. It kills the ones it comes in contact with and then leaves a residual on the leaves that either kills them or runs them off. I live in AZ so little rain to wash it away so it lasts up to a month in the summer. Just be careful & use it with very little to no wind. Plus stand up wind of whatever breeze there is & watch you don't spray yourself in a corner & have to hold your breath to get out! I've been there; done that.

Hi, I didn't use it in the house. By the time I covered the whole foundation and around the windows outside I only found a couple of scorpions in the house the next day and they were already dead. Just to be sure we sprayed once every 2 weeks for the first 2 months... now we just spray after a heavy rain and keep the grass low. I don't even see an ant in the house!

as far as I know ladybugs like mites. And they can live up to two years. They will of course fly away if outside. if you use them indoors...after they have done their job just vacuum them up and release outside. I am not a ladybug expert.

This stuff. I bought it just for spider mites, I applied it twice, a couple weeks in between. It leaves kind of a white-ish residue on the plant. Doesn't hurt the plant, but it killed all my spider mites including the eggs. Just be sure to spray underneath the leaves, since that's where most of them live.

I just use an ordinary watering can with a fine spout. (Made for indoor plants, this sort of thing http://www.bing.com/shopping/dynamic-design-wc1018fe-watering-can-fern-dydwc1018fe/p/52A25876EC0588715012?q=watering+can+for+indoor+planrs&lpq=watering%20can%20for%20indoor%20planrs&FORM=HURE . How often depends on the time of year, I let the soil dry out a little on top between waterings so it's evenly moist but never soggy. I like to water it with a liquid fertilizer every other month or so and about once a year I will put the plant in the sink or shower pot and all and water it really good- let the fresh water flow through. This will leach out the salt buildup. Dont do this often though, just when you see salty deposits build up around the drain holes is how you know it's time. So , that's the deluxe treatment but spider plants are tough and really forgiving. My plant I bought is still thriving and gorgeous. It's huge and has needed repotted twice since I bought it. Hope this helps.

I am not certain about this product....I brought it for outside and inside overall protection from everything....Now we have two rental properties on either side of us and it seems as soon as one is vacant the roaches come to our house. So in the past I have used Bengal products... http://www.bengal.com/ this works immediately and kills off roaches as well as makes them not able to breed....I have found this product at the local hardware stores. I've used the foggers and the can spray....it works. But the demon seems to work on everything else it might work on roaches but I just alway use the bengal cause I know it works.

From what I read on the manufacturer's site when I first purchased this is that it may harm them only if it is DIRECTLY sprayed on them. This is also why the recommend spraying early in the morning or late in the evening. When I spray, I actually walk backwards in hopes of disturbing anything in my path. I also use the end of the sprayer and shake it in bushes and plants to scare anything out, so as not to spray them directly. I use this about every two weeks on the perimeter of my yard and I honestly have fewer mosquito's and just as many bees and butterflies in my gardens/yard. I use specific plants to attract them as well. Hope this helps.

Hi, I think this is the best stuff available for spiders, I used it and let it dry, do not overspray. It should dry within 2 hours in humid conditions and quicker if the weather is dry. My daughters bedroom was infested and nothing else worked. I went into the room covered from head to toe with a resperator and gloves, sprayed everything and closed the door. 2 hours later I aired it out vacuumed and changed the sheets, 4 hours later my kids slept through the night. There was no more odor and that was the end of the anoying pests. As long as you use common sense and don't saturate but give an even coat as if you were spray painting you shuld have no problem.

I waited until the following morning. I kept them in the refrigerator over night. Then took them out around 6 am and let them get to room temp. Then I released them around 7 am. First, I sprayed my plant to get it damp and spread the lady bugs out over the plant.

Any time. BTW - this product is awesome for general pests inside and out. It's especially good for spiders and ticks.

This is great stuff - we had so many chiggers in our pea gravel and yard - after spraying, I did not get any. Walking out of the yard that I didn't spray, we noticed that we had some bites. I spray once a month and have not seen spiders, millipedes, nor grasshoppers and very pleased with the lady bug problem most are having. I wish I had tried this years before instead of Home Defense. Hope this helps - the first initial spraying should be heavy. Good luck

I don't know a lot about ferrets and birds, but my dog has been just fine. All I know is that I haven't had a spider, fly, ant or any other creepy critter in my house in over a year. If they happen to fly in through an open door or whatever, I find them eventually keeled over around the kitchen sink (that's where I have mine plugged in.) I would do more homework regarding your animals before purchasing it.

It is recommended to use this product in springtime when the tree leaves are emerging. That is when the insecticide has the greatest flow from the tree roots upward. I used it late summer in hope that there was still some capillary action to draw this drench into the tree.Use it once a year. I recommend boring 1 inch to 2 inch holes into the dirt near the base of the tree to contain the run-off and serve the root system more quickly.
