Demon Max is not for use as a broadcast across carpet or interior surfaces at all. Inside use is limited to along baseboards and in cracks and crevices only around rooms. Due to Demon Max being an oil based product it has the potential to stain almost any surface depending on how porous it is and how heavy it is applied but is safe when used as directed on the label. If you wish to use Demon Max we would highly suggest doing a small spot test first to make sure it wont stain or leave an undesirable residue on any surface you plan to treat.
Demon Max is not specifically labeled to control armyworms. Instead, you may use a product such as Talstar P. Please be sure to review the product label for more information and complete application instructions.
Demon Max is labeled for Chinch Bugs at the rate of 0.33-0.65 fl oz per 1,000 sq ft in a volume of water sufficient for uniform coverage which is generally 1 gallon of water per 1000 sq ft.
If only treating 250 sq ft of turf area, you would need to break down 0.33 fl to 0.65 fl oz per gallon of water per 1000 sq ft rate.
½ gallon of mixed solution: 0.16-0.32 fl oz with atleast ½ gallon of water to treat 500 sq ft of area.
¼ gallon of mixed solution: Mix 0.08-0.16 fl oz with atleast 32 oz of water to treat 250 sq ft of area.
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.
When spraying Demon Max you would want wait the standard dryng time of 1-2 hours. Demon Max should only be used as a crack and crevice spray indoors and should not be applied to any food contact or food-handling surfaces. Please review the product label for complete use instructions.
Demon Max can be applied with any IGR. However, NyGuard IGR is a great one to mix with the Demon Max. The rate for each would be 3 - 8 mL of Nyguard, 1.3 - 5.1 oz. of Demon Max, and 1 oz of Exciter to 1 gallon of water per 1000 sq ft.
Demon Max is mixed at a rate of 1/2 to 1 fl oz per gallon of water. The residual from this will be between 30 and 90 days. Please view the product label for more information.
No, Demon Max cannot be applied to dogs or any pets. This product is for treating exterior foundations, lawns, bushes, trees, shrubs, etc for outdoor insects.
Demon Max is labeled to kill spiders including brown recluse. Please read our Brown Recluse Spider Control Guide for more information about spider treatments.
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.
Demon Max is labeled for termite control in trees. Per the product label, for treating termites active inside trees, utility poles and/or fence posts, drill to find the interior infested cavity and inject 0.1% emulsion (0.5 fl oz/1 tbsp per gallon of water) using treatment tool with a splashback guard. Termite carton nests in trees or building voids may be injected with 0.25%-0.50% emulsion (1.3 fl oz to 2.6 fl oz per gallon of water) using a pointed injection tool. Multiple injection points to varying depths may be necessary. It is desirable to physically remove carton nest material from building voids when such nests are found.
Termites do not infest healthy trees therefore if you are seeing termite activity, this could be a sign the tree is sixk with disease or already dying. Usually the most common treatment would be to cut the tree down and burn the wood. We also like to recommend consulting with a local arborist for their recommendation.
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.
Demon Max cannot be applied inside appliances nor on stoves at all. It can only be applied as a spot crack and crevice spray on the outside surfaces and under refrigerators, stoves, furnaces, etc. as directed on the product label. We would recommend using a labeled oven cleaner to remove the product completely from the stove and give the inside ample time to dry before using.
We apologize but we cannot offer a guarantee on Demon Max as we cannot guarantee that they will be used as directed. We do try to provide as much information as possible on what to expect and how to to use as well as what to do non chemically. We do know they work and you can read previous customer reviews right on the product pages.
However, if the product does not work for you, we try to troubleshoot to see what may have gone awry ,
