    Q
    Will Demon Max work to rid my yard of chiggers?
    I have a serious chigger problem in my yard. I tried some spray from a local box store but the problem has only gotten worse. Can I use this product with a hose attachment or is it best used in a pump sprayer? Do you recommend this for chiggers? I'm at the point where I'm about to burn my yard to the bare earth! Unfortunately the dogs and my girlfriend wouldn't approve. Any help is appreciated!
    A

    Yes, Demon Max  is labeled to control chiggers.  You can use either a hose end or a hand pump sprayer to apply.  You will need to use 1/2 oz. of Demon Max per gallon of water for chiggers.

    Q
    Will this product eliminate no see ums in the home?
    A

    Onslaught is labeled for a wide variety of small flying insects including gnats, midges, and other small biting flies, and should help reduce the number of noseeums on your property. Be sure to spray the areas where you have noticed the noseeums landing or resting as Onslaught will only eliminate those insects that land on treated areas. 
     
    For indoor use, we recommend Microcare aerosol.

    Q
    Will Demon Max treat buffalo gnats (bull gnats)?
    A

    Demon Max is labeled for flies and should be applied 25 ft away from any bodies of water. It may only provide temporary relief for where the insect lands. For the Buffalo Gnat nest, you want something that will provide an instant knock down like CB- 80 aerosol.

    Q
    I sprayed Demon Max on my carpets,baseboards, etc for dog tick infestation-2wks apart. Why do I still see them
    I sprayed every inch of the baseboards to every corner to every crack - 1-2 ft above and down. 1oz to 1 gallon. I sprayed my carpet and everything - why am I still finding brown ticks even though I used this Demon Max?? Does this stuff kill ticks or what?
    A
    Demon Max is not to be applied on surfaces that come in contact with the skin or broadcast to the open carpeted areas.  It is labeled to kill ticks but for indoor use you are very limited in where you can apply it, as a crack and crevice or spot application to areas where these pests hide, such as baseboards, corners, storage areas, closets, around water pipes, doors and windows, attics and eaves, behind and under refrigerators, cabinets, sinks, furnaces, and stoves, the underside of shelves, drawers and similar areas.  How long it takes the ticks to die after they come into contact with a treated area will depend on a number of factors. It will depend on the maturity of the tick as well as how long they stayed on the treated area, how long it has been since the area was treated and the concentration that was used to treat the area. Demon Max is a great product for tick control - and you used the correct dosage. Typically it can take anywhere from a couple of hours to a day or so for them to die. It can take several weeks for you to stop seeing ticks indoors because the ticks like to stay hidden which also means they could be staying out of treated areas and eggs may hatch out prolonging the infestation. We recommend doing follow up treatments every two weeks at the highest usage rate of 1 oz of product per gallon of water until you do not see any ticks.
    We recommend using an IGR such as Archer IGR in combination with the insecticide that you choose. IGRs (insect growth regulators) will interrupt the growth cycle of juvenile ticks which will stop them from being able to mate and lay eggs

    Q
    Can you explain the way Demon Max kills an insect?
    A

    The active ingredient in Demox Max is Cypermethrin. Cypermethrin is in the synthetic pyrethroid class of insecticides. It is a man-made active ingredient that attacks the central nervous system of insects that come in contact with or ingest it.

    Q
    Will Demon Max treat for Australian Roach Nymphs?
    A

    Demon Max is labeled to treat for roaches and other common insects. It has a residual of 90 days indoors and 30 days outdoors. If the odor of Demon Max is too strong for you, take a look at Talstar P. It is colorless and odorless. It also has the same residual and is labeled for just about any insect. Please keep in mind that we do not recommend using only a spray such as Demon Max for eradication of a roach infestation. Please take a few moments to review our Roach Treatment Guide for assistance on how to treat for this pest successfully.

    Q
    Was it ok to treat my couch with Demon Max? I used an IGR in the mix as well.
    I still have been seeing ticks even though I treat all the baseboards, carpets, corners, crevices, couches, door frames, etc. How effective is this treatment and when should I reapply? Can I over-apply? I need some real help with these dog ticks.
    A
    Demon Max is not to be applied on the surface of couch or other surface areas where there is contact with the skin. It is only to be applied in cracks and crevices. It can be applied every 3 months for indoor control and 30 day outdoor control. If applied sooner than the recommended time, it could result in over application which may change the results you are seeking. Make sure the property around your home is unattractive to ticks. Because ticks are sensitive to dry conditions and do not thrive in short vegetation, they are seldom a problem in well-maintained lawns. Keep your grass mowed and keep weeds cut. Clean up items that attract rodents which can carry ticks, such as spilled birdseed, and hiding places like old wood piles. If ticks are present in vegetation along the edge of the property, insecticides labeled for control of ticks can be applied to small areas of high weeds that cannot be mowed. Often, one or two applications per season will be adequate to control ticks in these areas. Free-roaming dogs and cats are much more likely to encounter ticks than those that are confined to the home or yard. If ticks are found on pets, contact your veterinarian for information about an appropriate tick treatment. Remove the occasional tick found indoors by vacuuming, seal the vacuum bag and place it in the trash. Owners of kennels or homes infested with the brown dog tick may wish to contact a professional pest control company for assistance.

    Q
    What product is safe to kill fireants in a pasture with beef cattle grazing? Can I use Demon Max?
    I need a product to control fireants in a pasture where we graze beef cattle for food. can you recommend a product?
    A

    Demon Max cannot be used on any pasture area.  Any animals that would be used for slaughter you would use Extinguish Fire Ant Bait instead in pastures.

    Q
    Can Demon Max be mixed with Talstar/Bifen IT and Cy-Kick CS?
    Will it help give Talstar P a longer residual being mixed with an oil base? Will it help to lessen possible resistance by mixing two different insecticides? Should the amount of oz to gal be reduced when mixing the two together in the same tank?
    A

    Demon Max should not be mixed with Talstar and Cy-Kick CS. Each product should be used alone with water. Mixing insecticides like this could cause the products to be less effective. Cy-Kick CS will give you the longest residual as it is microencapsulated.
