    Q
    Can you mix with Suspend Polyzone for perimeter outdoor coverage?
    I would like to mix max strength Suspend Polyzone with max strength Demon Max for all outdoor applications?
    A
    We would not recommend mixing Suspend Polyzone and Demon Max. They are both insecticides. You will use one or the other. If you are looking to add more of a kick to your insecticide, we would recommend using ExciteR Pyrethrin Concentrate. This will give you a faster knockdown, but it does not have any type of residual effect. Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

  • Asked by Scott from Terrell, Tx
    07/09/2014
    Q
    I have a 20 gal tank. How many oz of Demon should I add to treat my yard??
    I have a 1 acre yard. I'm having a grasshopper problem this year. Nothing seems to work for more than a week. I was hoping Demon would last a little bit longer in the yard.
    A

    Demon will last up to 30 days on outside surfaces depending on the rain and sun exposure but is not actually labeled for grasshoppers.    

    Talstar P would be a good choice for grasshopper control and will last up to 30 days as well. You should start applications before the grasshoppers have a chance to hatch for best control. You should thoroughly spray your lawn and water in the application with about a .25 in of water to help the product get past the thatch layer and into the soil where grass hoppers actually develop. If you already have grasshoppers you can use Talstar P at the highest usage rate of 1 oz of product per 1 gallon of water for the quickest knockdown. Use sufficient amounts of water to help the product get to the soil layers.

    Q
    Can you treat with Demon Max on flowers without killing them..have mulch that is infested with ants?
    A
    Demon Max will not kill flowers, but may leave an oily residue. Demon Max will kill ants that come in contact with it, but not eradicate a colony. For ants in mulch we recommend using Niban bait. NIBAN Granular Insect Bait is a moisture-resistant bait that can be used indoors and outdoors to control ants, silverfish, roaches, crickets and more.

  • Asked by Curt from Dallas,ga

    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.

    Q
    Is Demon Max effective for termites?
    A

    Demon Max is labeled for termites but for a longer protection and control, you should apply a non-repellent liquid concentrate such as Termidor SC, Taurus SC or Dominion 2L. Below I have included a termite treatment article that will be very helpful if you plan to treat them yourself.

  • Asked by Etha from Columbia Ky
    03/30/2014
    Q
    Can we clean where Demon Max was sprayed?
    It was sprayed inside and outside for cockroaches. My wife is very concerned with the indoor being sprayed. (ie. baseboards, behind fridge and drive and even on the back edge of counter tops.) We have a 1 year old so she's feeling around everywhere. Is it safe for her or can we clean it and still be effective? Also, with the counter tops. We usually have dishes and coffee maker things like that is it safe for these things? Thanks!
    A

    The treated areas should be cleaned prior to application of Demon Max. It is recommended that you treat indoor cracks and crevices including the baseboards, behind the refrigerator etc. We do NOT recommend applying to the counter tops or prep surface areas with the product. Those areas should be cleaned with regular household products not insecticides. We recommend that you clean out cabinets and drawers and apply a professional roach bait gel to the crevices. For more information on treating roaches, please click on the links below.

  • Asked by Jmg from Plantation
    10/04/2013
    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

  • Asked by Jason from Fort Lauderdale, Florida
    09/23/2013
    Q
    What should I do now that I treated my couch with Demon Max? What happens with overapplication?
    I sprayed 2 times in the same 24 hrs. I sprayed my entire couch so do I have to throw out the couch? I was finding ticks in my couch because the dogs would sometimes sleep on my couch.
    A

    Demon Max is not to be applied on surfaces that come in contact with the skin or on the surface area of the couch. Please contact the manufacturer for instructions on the treatment/cleaning of the couch. They can be reached at 866.796.4368.

    We recommend the following for treatment of ticks:

    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
    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.

    Q
    How effective is Demon Max on controlling Wood Ticks and also Deer Ticks
    We have a acreage with water on three sides. I do keep the lawn to 3 inches, all leaves and sticks are always picked up at current time we have no pets. What is the mixture rate for killing Wood Ticks, does it also kill Deer Ticks. How long under normal conditions would a application for ticks last? How soon for a re-application? Can tree's be directly sprayed? After the kids and I have been outside we typically take three (3) to six (6) ticks off of one person. H E L P..
    A
    You want to mix 1 fl oz of Demon Max with 1 gallon of water. You would want to reapply outdoors once every 30 days and indoors once every 3 months. We would also recommend mixing a an insect growth regulator in your demon max regulator. Archer IGR works very well and will disrupt the tick life cycle. Yes, you can spray in, on and around buildings and structures; on soil, lawns, turf and vegetation; under and surrounding building foundations; and for spot or crack-and-crevice treatments.
