Demons were once very powerful angels before they rejected God and were thrown from heaven. As such, they have lost their place in heaven, but they have not lost any of their angelic power or strength, also, they are wholly spirit, thus have no body. A simple cross would have no effect on a demon, however THE cross of Christ on which He died for our salvation and the repair of the entire world spelled their doom and the beginning of the end of their reign in the world, thus they are frightened of it and anyone who is cooperated with its power through the sacraments and sincere following of Christ. All that being said, the least intelligent angel is vastly superior to the most intelligent human being, and infinitely more powerful, do NOT tempt demons, do not address demons, do not try to deal with demons. If you think you are being bothered by a demon (which is a pretty sure bet for everyone that is still alive) the only recourse you have is to resort to prayer and ask for the powerful intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary. For more information please see the books below written by the Vatican's chief exorcist, but, please, do not have anything to do with demons - they are far more intelligent and powerful than you could ever hope to be.

∙ 8y agoDemons do not exist, so can not really react to a cross. However, Christians do believe in demons and need to have some power over them, otherwise the demons could wreak their evil entirely unhindered. The power needed to balance the power of the demons, at least in folklore, is provided by displaying the cross. It is said that demons will flee from the sight of a Christian cross or crucifix.
