    Q
    Does Demand CS kill dust mites?
    Will it kill dust mites or control them?
    A

    Demand CS is not labled to control dust mites in the home. We would suggest using a product like Bedlam Insecticide in labeled areas for residual control, and a product like Sterifab in areas where you want a contact kill on any surface and in areas you can't spray Bedlam.

    Q
    Is there any difference between Demand CS and Equil Lambda ?
    The only difference I can find is the Demand CS lasts longer. Am I correct?
    A
    Demand CS and Equil Lambda 9.7 CS are pretty much identical in every way. Both products are micro encapsulated and both will last for about the same amount of time and both treat the same insect pests. Really the only difference is that they are made by different manufacturers.

    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
    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
    When spraying a tree for elm beetles that is next to my pond do I need to worry about the over spray?
    When spraying a tree for elm beetles that is next to my pond do I need to worry about the over spray of Demand CS hurting my fish?
    A
    Yes, Demand CS like any other insecticide can be very lethal to fish.  It would be advised to apply the product on a day that is not windy, and possibly even holding up a sheet of plastic on the other side of where you are spraying to protect overspray from going towards the pond.  Also, apply on a day when it is not going to rain so the product has time to dry and bond to its surface so it does not run off.

    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.

  • Asked by Ben
    10/15/2018
    Q
    How good is Demand CS for spiders indoors?
    A

    Demand CS would be a great choice for spider control as well as general insect control. It is a great choice for indoor and outdoor spider control. Spraying Demand CS will also help to get rid of the other insects (silverfish, sow bugs aka rollie pollies and millipedes) that spiders feed on and that will help to stop new spiders from moving inside. Indoors, spray around all baseboards, door frames, window frames, under appliances, in closets and storage rooms and in areas where utilities enter into the structure. Outdoors you should spray around the bottom of the foundation, on the ground adjacent to the foundation, door frames, window frames and places where the utilities enter into the structure.

    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 Sean from Nc
    05/22/2018
    Q
    Which is better for perimeter outside Demand CS or Termidor Sc?
    A

    Demand CS would be a great choice for general pest control for common insects found in and around the home.  It can be applied every 90 days indoors and every 30 days outdoors. Termidor SC should ONLY be applied once every 6 months directly up against the structure on the exterior of foundation (1 ft up and 1 ft out). You should NOT apply Demand CS in the areas where you apply Termidor SC.  Please refer to the product label prior to mixing and applying for complete usage instructions.

    Q
    Rotating Demand CS and Termidor SC
    I plan to mostly use Demand CS for insect control on the outside of the house. Demand CS has been awesome, but I read on the label that there is always a possibility of insects building a resistance to it. So I thought I would also use Termidor SC to treat the outer foundation and walls of my home, every so often. Two questions: Is this a good idea? Can I use the same hand pump sprayer for both Demand CS and Termidor SC at different times?
    A

    Termidor SC is applied only twice a year on the outside of the home depending on the rate used.  Rotating it often with the Demand CS would null the non repellent factor of the Termidor.  Most choose to use the Termidor outside and the Demand inside in cracks and crevices.  Resistance can take years to build up.

  • Asked by Paul from San Tan Valley

    Q
    Will Demand CS hurt my tortoises if they eat grass where it was applied?
    A

    Demand CS is typically safe when used as directed and animals are kept out of the area until dry.  However, we recommend contacting your vet for specific advice on what is safe to spray.  We are not sure what would be toxic in the tortoises’ environment and we certainly do not want to recommend anything that could be dangerous.
