  • Asked by Julie from Charlotte, Nc
    09/08/2015
    Q
    Will Demon Max protect the perimeter of my home from Brownbanded and American Roaches in addition to Termites?
    I am hoping for an all in one treatment. I use Demon WP in my home and love it.
    A

    Demon Max provides excellent perimeter control of all common roaches and most other common crawling pests, however a treatment for subterranean termites is very different from the treatment for General Pest Prevention because these pests do not crawl on the surface of ground like other insects. The most popular insecticide for liquid termite control that we sell is Termidor SC. Please see our article Subterranean Termite Prevention for instructions on how to perform a termite treatment.

    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.

    Q
    I have been having a problem with earwigs. Would Demon Max be the best product to purchase?
    This is our second summer in our home and it is so frustrating having earwigs crawling everywhere. We have sprayed inside, outside, everywhere to no avail....help!
    A

    Demon Max is a great product to control a broad spectrum of insects including earwigs. We usually do not recommend an oil based product such as Demon Max for indoor use due to temporary staining and odor that it leaves. For indoors, I would recommend using an water based product labeled for earwigs such as Suspend SC, which has virtually no odor or staining. Apply as a coarse, low pressure spot or crack and crevice spray to areas that these pests normally inhabit. Pay particular attention to dark corners of rooms and closets; floor drains; cracks and crevices in walls; along and behind baseboards; beneath and behind sinks, stoves, refrigerators, and cabinets; around plumbing and other utility installations; doors, windows and in attics and crawl spaces. Applications may be made to floor surfaces along baseboards and around air ducts. Let surfaces dry before allowing children or pets to contact surfaces.

    If you need anymore information on treating for earwigs, you can read over our guide on How to Get Rid of Earwigs .

    Q
    Is Demon Max safe for poultry? Is it safe for them even after it dries? How long does it take to dry?
    We got about 25 chickens, 10 guineas and 8 turkeys that are free range.
    A

    Demon Max  CANNOT be used in poultry houses. Depending on what you are treating for you, can use Bifen IT, as it is listed on the product label to be used in poultry houses. It can take up to 2 hours to dry. Do not apply where they may graze.

  • Asked by Shawna from Safford, Az
    04/25/2015
    Q
    product that lasts outside between applications
    Scorpions, spiders, cockroaches, occasional stinkbugs I would like a product that lasts as long as possible. I may need 2 different products. Live in southeastern Arizona where Sun and heat are factors during summer. We also have missions for a couple months, so I may need a different product during that time. Not worried about staining or white powder showing after application. Have 3 pet birds. Would be totally willing to spray one product that is better at killing, waiting for it to dry, then perhaps spraying another product that withstands weather and requires less frequent treatment. Or mixing 2 products if that would help. Also willing to spray one product outside and different one indoors if that would help at all. In addition, I want to mix in an igr for the roaches.
    A

    Demon Max lasts approximately 30 days outdoors. We would recommend using Suspend Polyzone if you are wanting a longer residual. It also features a proprietary polymer layer that protects the active ingredient from weather, irrigation and mechanical abrasion. The residuals outdoors and indoors is about 90 days. This can be used around the perimeter of your home and does dry clear. We would recommend not spraying this while your birds are in the area. They can return once the product dries.

    A good IGR (insect growth regulator) is Gentrol IGR. It is labeled to work for up to 4 months for roaches. This can be mixed with insecticides as well in the same sprayer.

  • Asked by Jerry from Brainerd,mn.
    04/03/2015
    Q
    What is the amount of Demon Max used for mosquito control?
    I'm reading the reviews on your product and seeing 1/2 oz. and 1oz. Used per gallon of water we live in Mn. The Mosquitos can be extreme in the summer months.
    A
    The rate you saw of 1/2 oz per gallon is the correct rate per the Demon Max label for mosquitoes. While it does say you can use it at 1 oz per gallon for harder to kill insects like Scorpions, it is not recommended at that rate for mosquitoes. Try to limit moisture areas or standing water on the property as much as possible, spray not just the top but also the underneath side of leave of bushes, trees and other dense foliage on the property where mosquitoes harbor and breed, and consider mixing in an IGR like Nyguard IGR to help stop the reproductive cycle.

    Q
    Ordered Demon Max do I need anything else to kill the eggs? The ants are dying but they keep coming
    A
    The ants keep coming, because Demon Max will only kill the ants coming in contact with the treated area. It will not stop the colony. Depending on what type of ant they are you could use our Complete ant kit.

  • Asked by Deborah from Sarasota Florida
    01/19/2015
    Q
    Is Demon Max safe to be applied around dogs?
    I'm having issues with fleas in my yard I live in Sarasota, FL. Most of my yard has a lot of sand mixed in with my grass. I have 2 Jack Russells and I need to know what I need to apply and how to apply this with having my dogs around. Do I need to spray early in the morning and let it dry completely first before I let my dogs out into my back yard? Should I also do my front yard too since my backyard is the only place it is all fenced off? Please help!
    A
    You will want to keep your dogs out of the area during the Demon Max application and until it completely dries. They can re-enter the treated surface areas when the water has discipated. You will want to mow the lawn 1-2 days prior to treatment and the second application should be applied 2 weeks later. You can apply Demon Max with any pressurized pump sprayer or backpack sprayer. If the dogs have been on the front lawn then you should treat there in addition to your backyard.

    Q
    How long the smell remain after using demon max and what's the best igr to use when treating roaches
    A
    Demon Max is an oil based product so the residual and smell will last longer than most liquid insecticides. Depending on where you used the product, indoors or outdoors will depend on how long the the odor will stay around. Demon Max is preferrably used outdoors for this reason. The best IGR to use for Roaches indoors is Gentrol IGR. You will mix 1oz per gallon of water in a hand pump sprayer.

    Q
    Am I able to spray Demon Max inside?
    I work in a fresh fruit producing plant and need to be able to spray inside sometimes. Normally I use Essentria Ic3 but am finding it hard to come by. Will this product work like Essentria Ic3?
    A
    Demon Max can be sprayed indoors if you are treating for certain pests. It is an oil based product and does have a very strong smell. If you are looking for something that is closely related to Essentria IC3, we would recommend EcoVia EC. It is made with natural plant oils. Please let us know if you have any additional questions.
