Yes, Demon Max would be a good option for cicada killer wasps. The mixing rate is 1.3 fl oz per gallon of water. You will apply directly to the soil where the wasps are nesting.Cicada Killer wasps thrive in disturbed environments, such as landscaped yards and places where bare soil is exposed. You can discourage the wasps from nesting in your yard by cutting your grass on the highest setting and by adding a thick layer of mulch to flower beds during the Cicada Killer Wasp season. These wasps do not like over saturated lawns either, so over watering during their season will help prevent them. Unfortunately, there is no fool proof way to prevent cicada killer wasps. For prevention you can try to use a granular insecticide such as Talstar PL Granules in the couple of weeks before this pest is known to emerge. For current infestations, you can also use Delta Dust in each individual burrow.

Q

Will demonmax kill leafcutter bees?
These bees are tearing up my roses!

A

Unfortunately, most insecticides are not effective on these bees since they only cut the leaves and do not chew on them. This article has a few non-chemical suggestions to help reduce damage to desirable plants:

Demon Max will kill most species of cockroaches, including German cockroaches. It is mixed at the rate of 1/2 - 1 oz per gallon of water for cockroaches. Please take a look at our Roach Control Guide for more information on doing a complete roach treatment. However, Demon Max only kills those roaches that contact a treated area and should not be used alone for an effective roach treatment for this reason. Not all roaches come out of hiding to contact where you have sprayed. You should only spray along baseboards and in cracks and crevices when using inside.

One of our roach control kits would be recommended for roach control. These professional kits include non-staining, low odor concentrated insecticide for spraying the outside perimeter of the home and inside underneath appliances, behind cabinets, under toilets and sinks, etc. You'll also get Roach Bait Gel to help get rid of those roaches that like to hide. Baits can be applied up high in the kitchen, in the corner of cabinets, and in cracks and crevices in kitchens and bathrooms. The bait contains a slow-acting poison that attracts and kills feeding roaches, which also spread the bait to other roaches by contact or by sharing food. Finally, an Insect Growth Regulator is offered, which will stop roaches from laying eggs, helping to halt the infestation. The combination of an IGR with roach bait is a highly effective roach control strategy that is widely used by pest control professionals. The insecticide must be applied with a 1-gallon pump sprayer.

Here is a link to a great article that really goes into depth in explaining a roach control program.
