If you are dealing with a roach infestation, an insecticide application alone will not provide total roach control. We advise that you read over our guide on How to Get Rid of Roaches, for a better understanding of all steps necessary, both non-chemical and chemical, for effective roach control. Once you have sanitized and removed food/water sources, we recommend using three key products during your roach control program: a concentrated insecticide to quickly kill active roaches, a bait to help draw out and eliminate roaches that like to stay hidden, and an insect growth regulator (IGR) to disrupt the roach lifecycle and prevent roaches from reproducing. Our Roach Control Kits contain all of the products you need to control an infestation and get your house back: baits, insecticide sprays, glue traps, and insect growth regulators will work together to quickly knockdown roaches for professional grade control.

In general, there really isn't such a thing as a spray that will repel wasps, or most insects, other than the ones designed specifically for mosquitoes and gnats. Demon Max does have a slightly higher repellency to its formulation due to it being oil based, but most insecticides work by being sprayed on surfaces the insects land on frequently so they can pick it up on their bodies and die from it.

Demon Max is diluted with water and applied to interior spot and crack and crevices only as directed for the listed pests on the label.

Target treat your home in places where pests have been spotted or give the outside of your home a perimeter spray (3 feet up and 3 feet out around the foundation of the home) to prevent future infestations.

If you do end up mixing them, we recommend to follow the most restrictive label.
