Demon Max will not prevent any fleas or other insects from getting into the house but is a great product to use outside for fleas to help control them outside. Please refer to the product label for complete instructions on treating lawns for fleas. Pets that go inside and out should be treated to help prevent fleas being brought in. Please click the link below for tick control products that can be applied to pets.
We would recommend our Indoor Flea Kit which provides you with the necessary components to completely eliminating fleas in your home the most efficient way. We also have a video on that page that and in our "Learn Videos" tab that shows you step by step how to use the products.
No, Demon Max is not labeled for use on fruit trees or anything edible and will not treat disease. We would recommend contacting your local cooperative extension office to determine what is causing the leaves to curl on your lime tree so that we can recommend an appropriate product for you.
Demon Max should not be applied indoors for flea treaments. Conquer can be applied with an IGR (such as Precor IGR or Archer IGR) for fleas indoors. Please take a few moments to review our treatment article on How to Get Rid of Fleas for a successful eradication program. We do offer an Indoor Flea Kit that can be applied to floor surfaces for treatment also.
Demon Max is labeled for flies and should be applied 25 ft away from any bodies of water. It may only provide temporary relief for where the insect lands. For the Buffalo Gnat nest, you want something that will provide an instant knock down like CB- 80 aerosol.
Demon Max is not labeled to be used in vehicles. We would recommend that you vacuum thoroughly and then apply something like D-Force HPX that is specifically labeled for use in automobiles and for spider control.
Due to Demon Max being an oil based product it has the potential to stain almost any surface depending on how pourous it is and how heavy it is applied. 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. If you would like a water based product that would cover a wide range of insects and that wouldnt stain, you could go with something like Suspend SC.
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.
With the updated product label instructions on products such as Demon Max, you should not spray the entire house. We do suggest avoiding spraing the glass window panes as Demon Max is oil based and when oil based products can be hard to remove from glass, especially if the glass is hot. Below are the new label instructions for your convenience. Please be sure to read the entire product label for full instructions.
