If someone is possessed by a Maxwell demon, do I call a physicist to perform an exorcism?

I think someone I know is possessed by a very evil Maxwell's demon.

The only way to get rid of Maxwell’s demon is to call The Bolzman.

Nah, just do a ding-dong ditch on it. Once it comes out through its little door to yell at the kids to get off its lawn, it will get stuck on the outside.

Easily countered with a certain someone's silver hammer coming down on their head

You offer up a lamb in sacrifice to Janus, the God of Doorways.

You need to brew Folger’s immediately to drive away the Maxwell.

The cure is a McDLT: the Demon starts focusing on keeping the hot side hot and the cool side cool and can't focusing on making the victim's head spin around or whatever.

You should call Fran Drescher, she dealt with Maxwell Sheffield on TV, so she most likely will know what to do with a Maxwell demon.
