Demon Max is labeled for milipedes, and will eliminate the ones that are in the area currently. There are a few things that you can do to possibly stop them from coming to the area to begin with. Habitat modification is key to reducing your milipede population. Since they live in and eat organic matter, try to remove as much excess organic matter as possible like piles of weeds, leaves, etc. Over-mulching and overwatering also can create damp environments for many pests, not only millpedes. Avoid overwatering, and use rocks or other materials instead of mulch if possible. Always pick fruit and vegetables,if they are in your area, as soon as they are ripe to prevent millipedes (and other pests) from using them as a food source.

Q

Is Demon Max safe to use on cows?
I've used pyrethrin in the past to help our cattle get through the summer dealing with biting flies and horse flies. I typically put the liquid on a homemade drape that they walk under and can run on. Would this be safe?

A

Unfortunately, no Demon Max is not labeled for use on cows or any livestock or animals. You would need to use something like Martins Permethrin 10% which can be used on livestock.

Q

How soon after Demon Max is used can I begin with an aggressive weed and feed?
I have an over grown lawn. Lot's of trees. Lots of insects, ants, etc. It has been mowed only. I want to debug it first and then begin the process of killing weeds and feeding the grass. The lawn is approx 54k sq ft. How much product is needed? How soon can I weed and feed?

A

Because Demon Max does not penetrate the soil you can weed and feed soon after your application. You should use 1/2 fl oz of Demon Max per gallon of water. To treat 54000 sq feet you will need approx. 3/4 gallon Demon Max.

Demon Max will kill leaf cutter ants that are directly contacted with the spray but will have no result on the ants that stay in the nest. Leaf cutter ants can be a difficult pest to get rid of. The colonies are large and the ants make their own food so poison baits only have limited effects on this species of ants. According to several university websites MaxForce Ant Bait Granules containing hydramethlynon are somewhat effective, though they will usually eliminate only about 30% of a large colony in one treatment and will need to be reapplied several times. DeltaGard Granules are one of the only products actually labeled for leaf cutter ants. The product label recommends treating the mounds directly and lightly watering the granules in. Again, it may take several treatments to get the desired results. We also recommend contacting your local cooperative extension office to see if they have any recommendations for products that have worked for other people in your region.
