    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
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
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
Why isn't Demon Max working? I followed the exact instructions. I even sprayed it a lot in the kitchen

and NOTHING, roaches went away for a week then came back I am so disappointed.

A

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 includes 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, who 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.

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.
