    Q
    I've heard that Demand CS will stop the fall invasion of the Asian Beetles from entering into our buildings. Is this true?
    A

    Demand CS is labeled for a variety of insects, including Asian Beetles. The key is to treat early enough (early fall) and to apply the product in the right places. Asian beetles enter the structure through cracks and crevices, especially around windows and doors. Be sure to treat these areas thoroughly once a month through November. Please click on the product label for detailed instructions on application.

    Q
    What will help with stink bugs in an attic?
    Can you use demand cs in attics were stink bugs are bad .I think they like going under insulation.If I spraying the insulation will it work to kill stink bugs ??? Thanks
    A
    You can use Demand CS is in the attic to help control the stinkbugs. Only the stinkbugs that come in contact with treated areas will be killed. We mention this because many of these pests will remain hidden and will not come out until it really starts to warm up so you may have pretty mixed results.

    Q
    Can I apply DEMAND CS via a Blag FLag Propane Fogger instead of using a hudson sprayer?
    A
    We do not carry Black Flag Foggers and so we cannot make an accurate recommendation. We can say that in the foggers we do carry, the Demand CS particles are too large and have the potential to clog the fogger.

    Q
    What is best to use for black widow spiders?
    A
    Demand CS will treat black widows and do a great job for other insects as well. The mixing ratio would be 24mL per gallon of water. After spraying, Demand CS leaves thousands of micro particles that bind to the surface offering long-term protection and fast insect knock-down.

    Q
    We have Asian beetles that are taking over our cabin. There are hundreds of them inside and out. Help!
    A

    Demand CS is labeled for a variety of insects, including Asian Beetles. The key is to treat early enough (early fall) and to apply the product in the right places. Asian beetles enter the structure through cracks and crevices, especially around windows and doors. Be sure to treat these areas thoroughly once a month through November.   You should spray Demand CS outdoors around your door frames, window frames, vents, eaves, around the bottom of your foundation, and any other crack or crevice where an insect could gain entry.

    Unfortunately, if you are dealing with them in your house right now you will only see limited results. These move into structures to overwinter. They usually squeeze into wall voids, false ceilings, attics and other areas that are inaccessible to people and insecticides. As the heat kicks on in the house, the bugs warm up and start becoming active and emerge from hiding, driving homeowners nuts. Because most folks usually have no idea where the bugs are harboring you can only treat around baseboards, door frames and window frames and hope the insects will emerge where you have sprayed. After they contact the treated areas, it can take several hours for them to die. It is still worth spraying now to get rid of some of the bugs, but you will keep seeing them until spring when they will emerge en masse and leave your home.

    Q
    CanIi spray Demand Cs when the weather is yucky and rain off and on?
    if i spray DemandCS just before it rains will the rain wash the chemicals off ?
    A
    You should wait to apply Demand CS on a day when rain is not expected. The product cannot adhere to wet surfaces and rain would wash it away if the application had not had a chance to dry before the rain came.

    Q
    Demand CS and Chapin Hose-End Sprayer... what ratio?
    I would like to use the Demand CS for Mosquito Control with the hose-end sprayer but am not sure of the ratio?.. How to set the dial?
    A

    First, you need to determine how many gallons of water you will be using. To find out how many gallons of water you need to use you will calculate the square footage of the area to be treated(Dmeand CS recommend 1 gallon of mixed solution 1,000 sq feet). For instance, if you have a 6,000 square foot yard that you plan on treating then you would need to multiply 6 x 0.8 which equals 4.8 – You would then add 4.8 oz of Demand CS to the reservoir. Once you add the desired amount of Demand CS to the reservoir, then you would add water to the line selected (6 gallon line mark on the reservoir). You would then set the dial on the top of the Chapin Hose End Sprayer to 6 gallons. Do not turn water on when adjusting the spray nozzle. Next, select the desired spray pattern and then spray until the reservoir is empty.

    Q
    Can you store Demand CS in a hot garage?
    I live in central Texas where the summer temps can reach over 100 degrees for several weeks in a row. What effect will the extreme heat have on Demand CS if I store it in my garage, which is not insulated?
    A
    Extreme heat will eventually degrade Demand CS. We recommend that you find a secure location in your home such as a utility closet or laundry room where you can store the sealed bottle out of reach of children.

    Q
    How soon do you vacuum after using Demand CS for carpet beetles?
    A

    Demand CS is not labeled to be used across open carpeted areas.  For inside the home, Demand CS is labeled to spray along baseboards, crack and crevices, and under appliances which is great for most insects but not for carpet beetles.   Please take a few minutes to read our How to Control Carpet Beetles article for an in depth explanation of how to control this pest.  It is very important that the source of the infestation (where the damaging larva is harboring) is discovered and eliminated, not just the visible adult insects you see wandering around. Until you find out what that is and deal with it you will continue to get more of the carpet beetles emerging from hiding.

    Q
    Does Demand CS kill squash bugs?
    A

    While Demand CS could potentially kills squash bugs since it is a non-selective insecticide, you cannot use Demand CS on edible plants like a vegetable garden. We have many other products you could use for squash bugs on edible plants, such as Triple Action or Pyganic Gardening

    Q
    Will Demand CS kill butterflies if they land on it? Are there bugs that are resistant to Demand CS?
    A

    The Demand CS label does not list butterfiles on the labels, however, to be sure you are not contacting them while applying, apply in the early morning or late evening when bees, butterflies and many other insects are less active in the area.

    Q
    How do I kill grasshoppers and not bees and butterflies and my outside cats?
    I use the nolo bait in most of my yard and I have chickens to get the stragglers. but I have part of my yard fenced off to keep the chickens out of my flowers and it is being over run by adult grasshoppers. I do the catch and kill every nite, but not enough as it sounds like bb's hitting the house when I walk around it. I have outside kitties and butterflys and bees that I don't want to harm what would you suggest? I need help fast. I have open fields on all 4 sides of me so it is a neverending battle
    A

    If it's the area that's fenced off, you can spray Demand CS around the yard and flowers but avoid the blooms or areas where bees and butterflies land so it won't be harmful to them.

    Q
    What is the best treatment plan for a concrete building with ants and spiders?
    6600 square feet office building, concrete walls, concrete slab floor, ants seem to be coming through the junction of the wall and floor. Occationally, centipedes are found inside. We fog each month, and have some ant baits, but I would like to get rid of these for good. Orkin suggested liquid bait.
    A
    Demand CS would be a great option for both indoor and outdoor treatments for spiders, ants centipedes, and a multitude of other insects. You can refer to the product label for dilution and treatment instructions. The Demand CS will ususally last up to 90 days indoors and at least 30 days indoors.  It will onlyl kill the insects that contact where it has been applied so when dealing with ants you would want to continue to use baits such as those found in our Complete Ant Kit.
