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

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.

I have lost several very large pine trees on my two acres of property. When I see the saw dust around the base of the tree it's too late and the tree is already dead. I don't want to loose my trees as they provide an excellent wind break.
Yes, Demon Max is labeled for Borers and Bark Beetles: To prevent infestation of trees and woody ornamentals, spray the bark, thoroughly, but not to the point of run-off using a 0.1% Demon Max emulsion. The recommended mix rate of 0.1% Solution is 1/2 fl oz (1 Tbsp) per 1 gal water.

Will Demon Max kill Box Elder bugs? If not do you recommend a product that will? What would the mixing ratio be for these annoying bugs!
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 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 will kill most species of cockroaches, including German cockroaches. Please take a look at our Roach Control Guide for more information on doing a complete roach treatment.

I was thinking of trenching my whole barn on the inside and flooding the trench with Demon Max. Will this take care of my termite problem? Also, what mixture ratio do you recommend for this? They are destroying anything I leave on the ground.
Demon Max would only kill termites that contact the treated soil, but is not labeled or designed to be used to trench the entire ground area of a barn or prevent termites from infesting items placed on the ground. The best product for trenching is the Taurus SC, this would be done along the outside wall of the barn and along the inside wall to protect the barn itself. Taurus SC is a non repellent insecticide that will help to eliminate the colonies below ground if you are dealing with subterranean termites. You would also want to treat the beams and rafters, and other unpainted/unstained wood of the stalls/tackrooms, etc. with something like Boracare if treating/preventing drywood termites. You can spray or paint the mixture on. There is not much that you can do to prevent them attacking items left on the ground other than avoiding leaving them there. The main concern with termites is generally protecting the bigger investment, the barn itself.
We have a step-by-step guide that will walk you through how to do your own termite trenching treatment. You can see the guide by clicking on the link here.

Demon Max is labeled to kill spiders including brown recluse. Please read our Brown Recluse Spider Control Guide for more information about spider treatments.
We have many ant hills in our lawn, what would be the best product to use?
Demon Max is a great product that is labeled for ants (including fire ants). For general broadcast spraying in your lawn, you would mix at a rate of ½ ounce per gallon of water. For treating for fire ant mounds, per the product label you would want to use the Drench Method (Ant Mounds, Fire Ants): Apply 1-2 gal of 0.1?mon Max emulsion to each mound area by sprinkling the mound until it is wet. Treat a 2 ft diameter circle around the mound. For mounds larger than 12 inches, the higher volume and wider treatment diameter (up to 4 ft) may be needed. For best results, apply in cool weather, such as in early morning or late evening hours, but not in the heat of the day.

Ground bees, also known as digger bees, can be very difficult to control no matter what product you use and they most likely will come back to your property year after year unless you do your part to alter your property to make it unfavorable to the bees. Ground bees prefer dry soils with thin grasses so irrigating the area frequently and correcting any issue that causes your grass to be thin will help deter the bees from nesting. In areas where you do not have grass, a layer of mulch will help deter the bees from nesting. Ground bees are solitary bees and are not very aggressive and are known to be a beneficial insect which is why you will not find any products specifically labeled for this type of bee. Talstar P can help provide some level of control but it will not get rid of all of the ground bees on your property. You should use Talstar P at a 1 oz of product to 1 gallon of water for a 1,000 sq ft area ratio. This will give you the fastest knockdown and the longest lasting residual. Talstar P does not offer an instant knockdown but will kill insects that come into contact with treated areas over a short period of time.
