I usually spray Demon before and clean after; I was just wondering if this is the best way or should I clean first and spray after? I just feel like I should clean up afterwards cause I have small children and pets and I don't like to think of having bug spray dried to surfaces they touch.
If you are cleaning after you spray then you are rendering the product ineffective as you are wiping up everything you just put down. You should be cleaning first and then spraying with the product lightly over the baseboards and areas you need to treat. Once the surfaces have dried completely it is not harmful to pets or children and they will not pick the chemical up on their bodies or be affected by it by crawling over it. Since Demon is a WP (wettable powder) and it dries with a powdery substance on the surface, you may want to think about swapping to something that dries clear and doesnt sit on the surface like the Demon does. Something like Temprid SC would be a great option for that for a variety of pests and is safe once dry as well.
