    Great Stuff

    By Steven on 04/23/2013

    Verified Purchase

    I have been using the active ingredient Cypermethrin for almost 5 years as an indoor and outdoor pest control product. It is a great chemical and does wonders to control roaches and ants. The residual effect is nice providing for less applications through the year. It also does not afffect my pets who have shown sensitivity to other pesticides.

    Demon EC (Max)

    By Lance on 06/26/2013

    I have used this stuff for over 10 years; beginning in a rental house that had sat empty for over 3 years and was full of all manner of creepy crawlies. One application of Demon (the first time I'd used it) and they all died a quick and horrible death, leaving the house bug free and inhabitable. It even de-bugged a 18 year old mobile home I lived in while my current house was being built. It's rare for a product to work as well as advertised, but Demon is the real deal.

    Best I have used so far.

    By Stan on 09/08/2013

    Out of all the products I have tried so far Demon Max has proved to be the best. As a landlord of 72 properties, I have tried many products over the years. Demon Max has been very effective and versatile. It has been mixed to do everything I encounter, RoAcHeS, fleas, termites, spiders and ants.

    Demon Max excellent product

    By Anonymous on 06/22/2013

    Verified Purchase

    Highly recommend this product. I have been using Terminex services for years and it is quite expensive. I tried Demon Max and it works perfectly. Roaches are dead outside the house and never make it in. I only have to treat the outside perimeter of my home.

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.

Q
Does Demon Max go bad if stored in very cold or very hot temps?

I live in Pa. kept my max demon in garage for 3 years. Wondering if it will still work being as it gets darn cold in winter and pretty warm in summer.

A

Demon Max should be stored in an area that is not exposed to extreme hot or cold. We recommend that you store in a cool, for a three year shelf life from the date of purchase. If mixed with water, it should be used within 24 hrs.

Q
How much Demon Max is needed to treat x amount of square feet?

I am just wondering how much to order. I have decks and back up to a large vegetation on a veloway. How often do I need to treat etc. that will help me determine how much to order. Thanks

A

Barrier Treatment for Pests around Structures:


Apply Demon Max as a 0.1% emulsion (1/2 fl oz per gallon of water) to a band of soil and
vegetation 6-10 ft. wide around and adjacent to the structure. Also, treat the foundation of the structure to a height of 2-3 ft. Use a treatment volume of 2-10 gal. per 1000 sq. ft.
Higher volumes of water may be needed if mulch or leaf litter is present or dense foliage exists. House siding may be treated if boxelder bugs, elm leaf beetles, earwigs, silverfish
or other similar pests are present. Reapply every 1-3 months as pest pressure builds back up.

Q
Since Demon Max stains, what color is it?
A
The product is a very light tan. It is the oil itself in the product that will stain so in most cases it leaves an oily residue behind which can stain old paint or old siding.

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.

Q
If I spray Demon Max on my deck and around the perimeter of the house will it stain?

My house is brick painted white and my deck is painted a light brown. Where on a house is this not safe to spray? Thanks!

A

Due to Demon Max being an oil based product it has the potential to stain almost any surface depending on how pourous it is and how heavy it is applied. If you wish to use Demon Max we would highly suggest doing a small spot test first to make sure it wont stain or leave an undesirable residue on any surface you plan to treat. If you would like a water based product that would cover a wide range of insects and that wouldnt stain, you could go with something like Suspend SC

Q
Will Demon Max hurt flowering plants such as hibiscus? I need to get rid of Japanese beetles.
A

Demon Max can be used on hibiscus and other flowering plants.  You should apply in the early morning or in the evening (not in the heat of the day) to avoid any accidental burning of foliage.

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 I use Demon Max for Bed Bugs?

I have been recommended this product for my bed bug problem in my home. However, I do not see the pest listed on the label. Is there something I missed reading, or will Demon Max not work for this? Thanks in advance.

A
No, Demon Max is not labeled for bed bugs. We would recommend using one of our Bed Bug Kits. They contain all the products you will need for multiples treatments. The size of the packages will depend on how many rooms you are treating in. Please let us know if you have any questions about any specific kit or how to use the products.

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.
