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.

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 an older cedar sided home that attracts Carpenter Bee's by the hundreds each spring. So far I haven't found a product that will keep them away.
Yes, Demon Max and Archer IGR can be tank mixed and sprayed at the same time.
I've been using Demon Max and it's time to reorder. Would Demand CS or Temprid SC be a better treatment? Would you recommend some combination of these?
Any of these insecticides would be a good choice for perimeter control of crawling pests. You would not need to mix insecticids as these all have similar active ingredients, and using too much may cause pests to avoid the area rather than coming into contact with the application. An advantage to using either Demand CS or Temprid SC is that these are both water-based, rather than oil-based insecticides. They will have much less odor and can be used safely indoors as crack and crevice and/or spot treatments.
Please see our General Pest Prevention Guide for more information.
For Termite Treatments, you will need to apply products much differently. Please view our Termite Pest Guide for more information about how to Identify, Inspect, Treat, and Prevent Termite Infestations.

I have a large infestation of cluster flies. Will this product kill the flies, providing I give all the cracks a liberal spaying?
bug company told me nothing will eliminate them just kills the one's you see, is that true for your product
Demon Max is labeled for milipedes, and will eliminate the ones that are in the area currently. There are a few things that you can do to possibly stop them from coming to the area to begin with. Habitat modification is key to reducing your milipede population. Since they live in and eat organic matter, try to remove as much excess organic matter as possible like piles of weeds, leaves, etc. Over-mulching and overwatering also can create damp environments for many pests, not only millpedes. Avoid overwatering, and use rocks or other materials instead of mulch if possible. Always pick fruit and vegetables,if they are in your area, as soon as they are ripe to prevent millipedes (and other pests) from using them as a food source.

No, Demon Max is not labeled for use on fruit trees or anything edible and will not treat disease. We would recommend contacting your local cooperative extension office to determine what is causing the leaves to curl on your lime tree so that we can recommend an appropriate product for you.

When making an application of Demon Max, everyone except the applicator should be out of the area where it is being applied. Once the application is done the treated rooms need to be left vacant until the product has time to dry.

Demon Max will kill leaf cutter ants that are directly contacted with the spray but will have no result on the ants that stay in the nest. Leaf cutter ants can be a difficult pest to get rid of. The colonies are large and the ants make their own food so poison baits only have limited effects on this species of ants. According to several university websites MaxForce Ant Bait Granules containing hydramethlynon are somewhat effective, though they will usually eliminate only about 30% of a large colony in one treatment and will need to be reapplied several times. DeltaGard Granules are one of the only products actually labeled for leaf cutter ants. The product label recommends treating the mounds directly and lightly watering the granules in. Again, it may take several treatments to get the desired results. We also recommend contacting your local cooperative extension office to see if they have any recommendations for products that have worked for other people in your region.
