    Q
    Will Demon Max kill pine bark beetles???
    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.

    Q
    Will Demon Max kill lady bugs?
    A

    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.

    Q
    Will Demon Max kill termites in my barn?
    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.
    A

    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.

    Q
    Will Demon Max kill ant hills in the lawn?
    We have many ant hills in our lawn, what would be the best product to use?
    A

    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.

    Q
    Will Demon WP or Demon Max work for Carpenter Bee's?
    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.
    A
    Both Demon Max and Demon WP will kill carpenter bees. As long as you have a residual insecticide labeled to treat carpenter bees, it will kill them.
