    Q
    What product is safe to kill fireants in a pasture with beef cattle grazing? Can I use Demon Max?
    I need a product to control fireants in a pasture where we graze beef cattle for food. can you recommend a product?
    A

    Demon Max cannot be used on any pasture area.  Any animals that would be used for slaughter you would use Extinguish Fire Ant Bait instead in pastures.

    Q
    Was it ok to treat my couch with Demon Max? I used an IGR in the mix as well.
    I still have been seeing ticks even though I treat all the baseboards, carpets, corners, crevices, couches, door frames, etc. How effective is this treatment and when should I reapply? Can I over-apply? I need some real help with these dog ticks.
    A
    Demon Max is not to be applied on the surface of couch or other surface areas where there is contact with the skin. It is only to be applied in cracks and crevices. It can be applied every 3 months for indoor control and 30 day outdoor control. If applied sooner than the recommended time, it could result in over application which may change the results you are seeking. Make sure the property around your home is unattractive to ticks. Because ticks are sensitive to dry conditions and do not thrive in short vegetation, they are seldom a problem in well-maintained lawns. Keep your grass mowed and keep weeds cut. Clean up items that attract rodents which can carry ticks, such as spilled birdseed, and hiding places like old wood piles. If ticks are present in vegetation along the edge of the property, insecticides labeled for control of ticks can be applied to small areas of high weeds that cannot be mowed. Often, one or two applications per season will be adequate to control ticks in these areas. Free-roaming dogs and cats are much more likely to encounter ticks than those that are confined to the home or yard. If ticks are found on pets, contact your veterinarian for information about an appropriate tick treatment. Remove the occasional tick found indoors by vacuuming, seal the vacuum bag and place it in the trash. Owners of kennels or homes infested with the brown dog tick may wish to contact a professional pest control company for assistance.

    Q
    I sprayed Demon Max on my carpets,baseboards, etc for dog tick infestation-2wks apart. Why do I still see them
    I sprayed every inch of the baseboards to every corner to every crack - 1-2 ft above and down. 1oz to 1 gallon. I sprayed my carpet and everything - why am I still finding brown ticks even though I used this Demon Max?? Does this stuff kill ticks or what?
    A
    Demon Max is not to be applied on surfaces that come in contact with the skin or broadcast to the open carpeted areas.  It is labeled to kill ticks but for indoor use you are very limited in where you can apply it, 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.  How long it takes the ticks to die after they come into contact with a treated area will depend on a number of factors. It will depend on the maturity of the tick as well as how long they stayed on the treated area, how long it has been since the area was treated and the concentration that was used to treat the area. Demon Max is a great product for tick control - and you used the correct dosage. Typically it can take anywhere from a couple of hours to a day or so for them to die. It can take several weeks for you to stop seeing ticks indoors because the ticks like to stay hidden which also means they could be staying out of treated areas and eggs may hatch out prolonging the infestation. We recommend doing follow up treatments every two weeks at the highest usage rate of 1 oz of product per gallon of water until you do not see any ticks.
    We recommend using an IGR such as Archer IGR in combination with the insecticide that you choose. IGRs (insect growth regulators) will interrupt the growth cycle of juvenile ticks which will stop them from being able to mate and lay eggs

  • Asked by Shawn from Phoenix, Az
    07/22/2015
    Q
    Can Demon Max be mixed with Talstar/Bifen IT and Cy-Kick CS?
    Will it help give Talstar P a longer residual being mixed with an oil base? Will it help to lessen possible resistance by mixing two different insecticides? Should the amount of oz to gal be reduced when mixing the two together in the same tank?
    A

    Demon Max should not be mixed with Talstar and Cy-Kick CS. Each product should be used alone with water. Mixing insecticides like this could cause the products to be less effective. Cy-Kick CS will give you the longest residual as it is microencapsulated.

    Q
    Is the safe to use on Pastures?
    I was wondering if this product will be safe to spray on grazing areas for horses. If not, would the Demand Cs be safe.
    A
    You do not want to use either of these products in pastures. Please contact you local extension office to determine how to best treat the pest you are targeting.

    Q
    What is the ratio of Demon Max for mosquitoes and how does it compare?
    how many oz of demon max do you use per gallon of water for residual mosquito control, how long does it leave a risidual? and how does demon compare to bifen it?
    A
    You should use 1/2 fl oz of Demon Max per gallon of water for mosquito control and you will need to reapply once per month to maintain control. Bifen IT and Demon Max will have very comparable results for mosquito control though Bifen IT is water based and non-staining and is more widely used by professionals for mosquito control.

    How does Demon Max work for killing paper wasps?
    How does this product work for killing paper wasps? or is there something better. Thanks
    A

    Demon Max is very good with treating for wasps and other insects. You will use 1 fl oz per gallon of water. Be sure to spray in the areas that they will come in contact with the insecticide. This can be used every 30 days as needed.

    Q
    With the Demon Max being oil based, will it stain siding?
    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?
    A

    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.

  • Asked by James from Ellijay, Georgia

    Q
    Will Demon Max work with roaches, and can I mix it with other products?
    A

    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.
