We apologize but we cannot offer a guarantee on Demon Max as we cannot guarantee that they will be used as directed. We do try to provide as much information as possible on what to expect and how to to use as well as what to do non chemically. We do know they work and you can read previous customer reviews right on the product pages.
However, if the product does not work for you, we try to troubleshoot to see what may have gone awry ,
Demon Max cannot be applied inside appliances nor on stoves at all. It can only be applied as a spot crack and crevice spray on the outside surfaces and under refrigerators, stoves, furnaces, etc. as directed on the product label. We would recommend using a labeled oven cleaner to remove the product completely from the stove and give the inside ample time to dry before using.
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.
You can apply Demon Max with any pressurized pump sprayer or backpack sprayer. Demon Max is labeled for flies.
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.

Demon Max cannot be used indoors for fleas as this cannot be broadcast on carpets, rugs, under furniture, etc. This is an oil-based insecticide that will stain surfaces and leave a strong odor. Demon Max can be used outside the home as a perimeter foundation treatment, on lawns, bushes, trees, and shrubs.
Please view our Indoor Flea Kit and How to Get Rid of Fleas Treatment Guide for more information on a successful flea treatment program.
Demon Max is labeled for termite control in trees. Per the product label, for treating termites active inside trees, utility poles and/or fence posts, drill to find the interior infested cavity and inject 0.1% emulsion (0.5 fl oz/1 tbsp per gallon of water) using treatment tool with a splashback guard. Termite carton nests in trees or building voids may be injected with 0.25%-0.50% emulsion (1.3 fl oz to 2.6 fl oz per gallon of water) using a pointed injection tool. Multiple injection points to varying depths may be necessary. It is desirable to physically remove carton nest material from building voids when such nests are found.
Termites do not infest healthy trees therefore if you are seeing termite activity, this could be a sign the tree is sixk with disease or already dying. Usually the most common treatment would be to cut the tree down and burn the wood. We also like to recommend consulting with a local arborist for their recommendation.
Demon Max does not list lady bugs as a target pest on the product label therefore we cannot recommend this for eradicating lady bugs specifically. If a lady bug were to contact a treated surface however it would most likely kill it.
Demon Max is labeled to kill spiders including brown recluse. Please read our Brown Recluse Spider Control Guide for more information about spider treatments.
Yes, Demon Max is labeled for bed bugs (should not be sole treatment for this pest). We do offer Bedbug Kits. For a successful program, please check out our article here.
Demon Max is not labeled to be used on wood floors and would not be recommended. Being an oil based insecticide, it has an extremely strong odor and will stain surfaces such as wood, concrete, vinyl, etc.
If you are treating for wood destroying pests, Bora-Care would be the recommended treatment for treating raw wood in it’s bare state (no paint, stain or sealant). When applied to raw wood, BoraCare absorbs completely throughout the wood and lasts the entire life of the wood
Please read the product label for complete application instructions.
Demon Max contains petroleum distillates and we would recommend to turn off pilot lights before applying it. Also make sure to wait until it's all completely dry to use again or avoid applying it near that area.
