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.

Since this is oil based will it stain siding that is 5 years old? I am dealing with a large infestation of boxelder bugs and Asian Beetles. I do have boxelder trees on the foliage line my property backs up to. .25 acre lots. Houses about 15 feet apart. Would my neighbors need to combat bugs also? Would also like to combat mosquitoes. Do you have any suggestions before I buy this product?
If you have older siding and are wanting to treat for boxelder bugs and other overwintering pests on the side of the home, as well as mosquitoes and various other insects, we would not suggest going with the Demon Max. The oils in the product are very likely to stain the side of the home. We would suggest going with a product like Talstar P instead since it will dry clear, there will be no risk of staining or discoloring, it is low odor and can be used for overwintering pests as well as mosquitoes and others. Talstar is mixed between 0.5 - 1 oz per gallon of water and can be used monthly or quarterly for pest control. If your neighbors are not treating then yes that will certainly make your applications a bit more of an uphill battle so try to encourage them to treat as well or see if they will allow you to treat the main areas of insect populations as well. You can spray trees and bushes for boxelder and beetle control to help reduce the numbers that make their way to your home.

Demon Max is labeled for roaches, and you may mix this product with an insect growth regulator such as Gentrol for better control. You do not need to mix Demon Max with another insecticide. When applying these products indoors, we recommend also using a professional roach bait gel in areas where you cannot spray. You may want to look over our Roach Control Guide for more information on treating and preventing roaches.
Per the Demon Max product label, you would mix 1/2 oz to 1 oz per gallon of water.
For indoors Apply as a crack-and-crevice or spot application to areas where these pests hide, such as baseboards, corners,storage areas, closets, around water pipes, doors and windows, attics and eaves, behind and under refrigerators, cabinets, sinks, furnaces, and stoves, the underside of shelves, drawers and similar areas.
We also recommend using an insect growth regulator such as Gentrol IGR and a roach bait gel such as the Advion Roach bait gel for faster and more complete control. We also offer a Roach Bait Kit, that contains all of the components you need for a complete roach control program.

If so how to apply?
Yes, Demon Max would be a good option for cicada killer wasps. The mixing rate is 1.3 fl oz per gallon of water. You will apply directly to the soil where the wasps are nesting.
Cicada Killer wasps thrive in disturbed environments, such as landscaped yards and places where bare soil is exposed. You can discourage the wasps from nesting in your yard by cutting your grass on the highest setting and by adding a thick layer of mulch to flower beds during the Cicada Killer Wasp season. These wasps do not like over saturated lawns either, so over watering during their season will help prevent them. Unfortunately, there is no fool proof way to prevent cicada killer wasps.For prevention you can try to use a granular insecticide such as Talstar PL Granules in the couple of weeks before this pest is known to emerge. For current infestations, you can also use Delta Dust in each individual burrow.
We also like to let our customers know that the Cicada Killer wasps are beneficial insects that provide free pest control for a couple months each year. Cicada killer wasps paralyze and provision their burrows with other insects to feed their young. The beneficial Cicada killer wasps, while large and intimidating to see, are mostly harmless and there have been very few reports of anyone getting stung by just being near them. In most cases where a sting was reported, the wasps were being held or molested in some way. Cicada Killer Wasp stings are also reported to be almost painless.

Its hard to say which one is better with out knowing exactly where and what you are treating for. Both are going to offer a good kill and a long lasting residual though initially Demon Max may have a faster kill because it is oil based. On the other hand because Demon Max is oil based it could stain old paint/siding and it does have an odor. Bifen IT is known to be super gentle on most plants (do not use on edible vegetation). Both products can be used indoors and outdoors and both products are safe to use in houses with children and pets.

For residential lawns, apply Demon Max at the rate of 0.33-0.65 fl oz per 1,000 sq ft in a volume of water sufficient for uniform coverage such as 3-20 gallons of water. Please refer to the LAWN APPLICATION DILUTION TABLE on the product label as well as our Indoor Flea Kit to treat the inside of the home. Demon Max would not be used indoors for flea control.
