    Q
    Which product will work best for roaches Demand CS or Demand SC?
    A

    There is only Demand CS, we are not aware of a Demand SC product.  One of our roach control kits would be more recommended for roach control. These professional kits includes non-staining, low odor concentrated insecticide for spraying the outside perimeter of the home and inside underneath appliances, behind cabinets, under toilets and sinks, etc. You'll also get Roach Bait Gel to help get rid of those roaches that like to hide. Baits can be applied up high in the kitchen in the corner of cabinets and in cracks and crevices in kitchens and bathrooms. The bait contains a slow-acting poison that attracts and kills feeding roaches, who also spread the bait to other roaches by contact or by sharing food. Finally, an Insect Growth Regulator is offered which will stop roaches from laying eggs, helping to halt the infestation. The combination of an IGR with roach bait is a highly effective roach control strategy that is widely used by pest control professionals. The insecticide must be applied with a 1 gallon pump sprayer.

    Here is a link to a great article that really goes into depth in explaining a roach control program:

    Q
    Can I use this on the perimeter of my house one week after applying Ortho Home Defense?
    Would the two interact or neutralize the Demand CS? How long do I need to wait?
    A
    There wouldn't be any problem using Demand CS after using Ortho Home Defense. While each product contains a different active ingredient both products are from the same class of insecticides, synthetic pyrethroids, and they will not counter act each other. You should wait at least 7 days before applying Demand CS to areas where you applied Ortho Home Defense.

    Q
    How do I know when the time is right for the first application of Demand CS?
    Is there a general date or average temperature? I live in South Dakota.
    A

    There really is not a specific date or temperature (as long as it is above freezing) to apply Demand CS.  It can be applied any time the pest(s) you are treating for are active.  If you are treating outdoors, you will need to apply every 30-90 days, and every 90 days indoors.

    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
    First, can this be applied by a Gas Powers backpack sprayer/fogger? Second, does it kill Mormon crickets?
    A

    Demand CS particles are too large and have the potential to clog the fogger. Demand CS and Exciter can be mixed together for mosquito control for use in a pump sprayer. Demand CS is not labeled for use inside of a fogger.

    Q
    If a bird eats a dead roach sprayed the night before with Demand CS, will it harm the bird?
    Sprayed yard around 10pm, next morning there was a staggering amount of dead or dying roaches all over. Came home from work around 5pm and 95% of the carcasses were gone. As I sat there bewildered a little bird landed no more then 5ft. from me, grabbed a dead roach and flew away. So please tell me this will not hurt the birds! Thanks for your time! I forgot to mention
    A

    There is such a small amount of the active ingredient in Demand CS that actually gets on the bugs before they die that it will not affect any animals that consume the dead bugs

  • Asked by Casey from Pasadena, Ca

    Q
    Does Demand CS work to treat Pine Bark Beetle?
    I have been trying very hard to spot the actual beetles but have not seen any. I do however, see a bald patch of trunk on my black pine with what looks to be 3 woodpecker holes. Some branches have all brown needles. In cypress trees nearby, I see trails of yellow sap seeping out and some branches there already turned brown. I'm so so sad as this black pine is a very fancy Japanese bonsai style tree and I might have lost a few small trunks with the brown needles.
    A

    An insecticide such as Demand CS can be used to prevent infestations of bark beetles such as pine bark beetles, however usually this treatment is not effective once trees are already infested. You want to spray down the trunks of nearby trees to protect them from infestation. You may need to consult a local arborist if you are unsure whether the trees can be saved. You can usually trim and destroy infested branches, however keep in mind that this pest will usually infest trees that are already weak from some other existing issue (disease, drought, etc.).
