    Q
    I have Demand CS, how much should I use to kill the tiny black jumping spiders?
    I have used this spray already a few weeks ago, yet I still see the tiny jumping spiders crawling on areas where I sprayed. The spray definitely works on regular house spiders. What should I do?
    A
    Demand CS is a great choice for spider control, but it will take some time for death to occur. For clean out or severe infestions of spiders, including those black jumping spiders, you would want to mix 0.8 fluid oz (24 mL) of Demand CS per gallon of water. Be sure to spray the outside perimeter of your home, spraying 2 to 3 feet up the side of the house and 2-3 feet out on the ground. Also make sure to spray all of your baseboards, any cracks or crevices, window frames and door frames both interior and exterior, or any other place where spiders could gain entry into your home.

  • Asked by Gary from Hockley, Tx
    06/10/2013
    Q
    Can I use Demand Cs as a general out/inside spray?
    I have been using Demand CS and mixing it with demon WP (9.5 gram packet) and .5 oz of Precor about 3 times annually. I spray all around the outside base of the house and the eves to create a 'barrier'. Hardly ever inside. It seems to work as I see practically no pests - ever. But am I over-killing here?
    A
    You can not mix Demand CS and Demon WP together as they are both pyrethroids and will likely decrease the effectiveness of each other. Just use one or the other for spraying around your home and you can alternate the products every other spray if you would like. Using 1/2 ounce of Precor is neither a proper dosage to use, nor does it affect any insect other than fleas. If you are wanting to use an IGR to control the reproduction of other insects you would need something like NyGuard IGR as this will cover a large range of insects and last up to 5 months where as the Precor when used at the proper 1 ounce dose will only last 14 days. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

    Q
    Using Demand CS around herbs.
    We are having a professional company apply Demand on our yard to get rid of fire ants. I will dig up my herbs prior to the application. When would it be safe to replant the herbs after the application of Demand? Or should I not replant at all?
    A
    We would not recommend replanting in the area that has been treated with Demand CS. You can apply the product around the herbs, just not directly in the herb garden.

  • Asked by Chris from Winnipeg
    07/14/2013
    Q
    Does Demand CS work on anthills?
    A
    Yes, Demand CS will work on ant hills and you would want to do a mound drench on each to ensure the entire colony is affected. Mix the required amount of Demand to each gallon of water and drench each mound with 1-2 gallons of mixed solution to ensure it penetrates through the soil to the full depth of the mound and affects the queen. Just spraying over the top can often only affect half of the colony, and as the queen notices the death taking place around her, she will pick up and move and shut herself off from the colony and start a new one. If dealing with fire ants in particular, we recommend using a product that will affect the colony more as as whole like Extinguish Plus Fire Ant Bait. It not only is a food source that they will take back and feed to the colony including the queen, but it also contains a birth control to ensure no further colony growth. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

    Q
    Some bird mites persist 2 days after treatment with Suspend Polyzone. Can we use Demand now?
    A
    You want to wait 21 days to reapply. You do not want to over apply as it can irritate the mites causing them to frenzy. You can also use Sterifab as an on contact kill in the mean time.

  • Asked by Eric from Phoenix, Az
    02/20/2014
    Q
    Can I mix Demand CS and Cy-Kick CS together to make a "super" insecticide?
    We live in Phoenix, AZ (Central Phoenix) and we have a huge...I mean HUGE bark scorpion problem. We have had the second warmest winter in AZ history and the scorpions are already out and mating. I have cleaned up the property, raked, yard work, etc. I normally use Cy-Kick-CS mixed on the high concentrated side. I also use the DeltaGard G Granules - 20 lb. bag all around the exterior perimeter of my house and back yard. I also started spraying the brick wall perimeter in my backyard. I used to go out at night with a black light and kill 15-20 scorpions every night...EVERY Night. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I hate scorpions. The problem has improved, but not as much as I would like.
    A

    There is no valid reason to mix Cy Kick CS and Demand CS together, it would not make either product work better or produce better results, though it could make treated areas repellent to insect lessening the effectiveness of the treatment. We would recommend applying the Cy Kick CS and using glue boards also. Please refer to the article below for additional tips on treatment of scorpions including non-chemical methods that help in addition to the product. Please contact us at 866.581.7378 if you have additional questions.

  • Asked by Steve from Cleveland, Oh

    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.

    Q
    How to get do I rid of caterpillars invading my house.
    I've already sprayed a chemical from Home Depot around my house a couple of months ago and now they are back.
    A
    You can use a product like Demand CS around the perimeter of the home and inside as well.   We have a great video here for General Spray Application to show you where to spray.  Demand CS should be applied once a month outside and once every 90 days inside.  It will not provide an instant knockdown but will instead continue to kill after it has dried.

  • Asked by Ken from Manchester, Nh
    09/05/2014
    Q
    Does Demand CS kill bird mites?
    A
    Demand CS is not labeled for mites. 

    Here is our best advice on mite control:

    It is important to be absolutely sure you are actually dealing with mites. Have the suspected mite identified by a reputable source, such as your local cooperative extension office or a reputable pest control operator. Treatments will vary for different pests. Treatment for say bedbugs is much different than the treatment for mites.  If you do indeed have mites, you must first find the source of the infestation, usually a bird nest or a dead rodent on or in the home. Removal of the infested nest or bird and a thorough cleanup is necessary. For treatment in the home, we recommend you frequently vacuum all carpet and upholstery and dispose of the bag or vacuum contents in a sealed bag outdoors. Spray Sterifab on couches, chairs and other upholstered furniture where you may spend time resting. Use Cimexa Dust in all cracks and crevices around the perimeter of the room. Apply a thin coat of MotherEarth dust to rugs and carpets. Rake (not sweep) nap back and forth, causing dust to enter rug or carpet. Let product sit overnight. Repeat application as necessary and vacuum every 3 - 4 days for effective control. MotherEarth dust does not have a fast knockdown, it can take several days for insects to die after they contact the dust. Onslaught can be used for a faster knockdown. Thoroughly apply as a fine particle broadcast spray using a hand pump sprayer to infested rugs and carpets and other cracks and crevices around the perimeter of each room. Put all clothes through the dryer on high heat to help kill mites and their eggs. We have had many customers use the above recommendations with great success. Most customers report that it can take several months to get rid of all of the mites. Finding and removing the source of the infestation is very important and is the key to getting rid of the mites for good.

    A
    We recommend that you contact the landlord or the company that treated for the specific products that were applied. You then can check with the manufacturer of the products for safety and residual information. It would be a good idea to check with your local vet on what is safe for your cats and what is not with them having breathing issues.

  • Asked by Debbie from Spicewood, Texas
    09/17/2015
    Q
    Over the last few months, we have killed 3 Texas Desert Centipedes in our house. What is the best product to treat for them?
    We do have an exterminator spray outside once a quarter and inside twice a year, but still we are seeing these centipedes. Also the product needs to be safe for my cats. A friend recommended Demand CS. Is this what you would recommend?
    A

    Demand CS would be a good choice to use around the inside and outside of your home to eliminate centipedes. Suspend SC is safe for people and pets when used as directed on the product label.  Indoors you can apply Suspend SC to door frames, window frames, places where utilities enter into the structure, and any other place where the insects can gain entry. Outdoors you should apply the product to door frames, window frames, places where utilities enter into the structure, around the bottom of the foundation and out onto the ground directly around the foundation. You can also limit favorable conditions that the centipedes need to thrive. 

    Remove Favorable Conditions

    • Fix leaky faucets or pipes and dry up wet or damp areas where centipedes thrive
    • Remove outdoor harborages near the home that hold moisture (compost, wood, or leaf piles, etc).
    • Store firewood off the ground at least 20 feet away from the home
    • Water your lawn in the morning so that it will be dry by afternoon
    • Do not over mulch flower beds, since soggy mulch is an ideal harborage for centipedes
