I thought I had seen it on here before, but I couldn't find it.

Instead of paying the roach guy $$ every quarter, what is the insecticide he sprays and where can I get it?

Thanks.

You can buy Permethrin at local fee and seed stores, no odor after about 2 hrs and has a 10 day or so residule, ver safe , i use it indoor and out, it will kill any bug the crawls, wiggles , or flys even spiders

I buy the flea, tick, ant, roach, and spider spray that hooks to the water hose once a month and spray my yard down. You can get it at any little home store. it works good

No doubt demon works best inside your house. Every Coop I've been to has is or a generic version of it. An envelope of demaon should cost around $12 and have 3 water soluable packs. Each pack should go into 1/2 to 1 gallon of water (depending on how bad the insects are). This should be enough to spray every base board in the house, around the windows on the outside, and the base of the house outside. Kills spiders, roaches, crickets, ants, etc. Hard to get coverage on fleas. You will have to use a fogger for that.

If you have a problem I would use the high rate and repeat in a few months. Once you get everything under control used the reduced rate about every 6 months. I'm sure the label will give you a good indication of repeat applications as well.
