Demon Max will kill most species of cockroaches, including German cockroaches. It is is mixed at the rate of 1/2 - 1 oz per gallon of water, for cockroaches. Please take a look at our Roach Control Guide for more information on doing a complete roach treatment.
Demon Max is not considered a contact kill insecticide, but will leave a residual on the surfaces applied to that will continue to kill insects that cross over the treated area. It will only kill those roaches that contact a treated area and this can take a few hours up to 24 hours or more depending on several factors.
If you are dealing with a roach infestation, an insecticide application alone will not provide total roach control. We advise that you read over our guide on How to Get Rid of Roaches, for a better understanding of all steps necessary, both non-chemical and chemical, for effective roach control. Once you have sanitized and removed food/water sources, we recommend using three key products during your roach control program: a concentrated insecticide to quickly kill active roaches, a bait to help draw out and eliminate roaches that like to stay hidden, and an insect growth regulator (IGR) to disrupt the roach lifecycle and prevent roaches from reproducing. Our Roach Control Kits contain all of the products you need to control an infestation and get your house back: baits, insecticide sprays, glue traps, and insect growth regulators will work together to quickly knockdown roaches for professional grade control.

However, 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 include 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, which 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.

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.
