    Q
    What type of sprayer/technique would you recommend for high areas?
    I have a two story log home with a serious carpenter bee and lady bug problem. I need to spray areas approximately 20-30 feet off the ground. What type of sprayer would you recommend for Demand CS?
    A

    The Chapin Slide Pump Sprayer would likely suit your needs well.The brass pump develops pressure up to 150 psi and allows you to reach targets over 30 feet away! Perfect for spraying the eaves of your home or any hard to reach areas. You can see a video of the sprayer in use here:

    Q
    Can Demand CS be used to blanket spray insulation in an attic?
    A

    Demand CS should only be used around the baseboards, cracks and crevices in an attic. This product should not be sprayed on insulation since it is diluted in water. A better option may be to use insecticide dust such as Delta Dust in the attic.

    Does Demand CS work while it's raining or is it a waste of money?

    Demand CS is rainfast after it has dried completely. If the product was applied and it rained soon after and the product was not dry yet, it will need to be re-applied.

    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.

    07/12/2016
    Q
    What to use to measure Demand CS for spiders for 1 gal applicator?
    A

    The bottle for Demand CS has a measuring chamber on it to measure out the rate you need to use per gallon.  For spiders you would use 0.4 to 0.8 fl oz per gallon of water as directed on the product label.  You would squeeze the bottle to get the needed amount into the chamber then pour into your sprayer.

  • Asked by Dean from Pampa, Tx
    09/13/2016
    Q
    Will Demand CS kill Harvester Ants?
    They make a bare spot in the yard.
    A

    Demand CS will kill ants that have come into contact with the areas treated with the product but it will not reach the nesting locations. Harvester ants should be left alone if they are not a direct threat or nuisance. They provide food for many animals, and also help distribute grass seed, and are overall beneficial. However, if control becomes necessary, you can easily get rid of harvester ants using the right professional products.Granular ant baits are the best choice to control harvester ants. Nearly any granular ant bait will work, but look for those labeled for use on harvester ants.Products with abamectin, like Advance 375A Select Granular Ant Bait, bifenthrin, like Talstar PL Granules and hydramethylnon, like Maxforce Complete Granular Bait, among many others, will all be effective against harvester ants. Always follow the label instructions carefully, but 2-5 tablespoons of granular bait scattered over the colony’s central opening should be sufficient to control the colony. For non-chemical control, destroy nests and habitat with regular mowing and other lawn maintenance.

    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.

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

    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.

  • Asked by William from West Monroe, La
    04/18/2018
    Q
    Will Demand CS kill soil dwelling insects and flying insects?
    I am trying to find a product that can control grubs and other ground insects that tear up my lawn. I have a 17,000 sq ft lawn and would like to use something that can be used with my Gilmour hose end sprayer. Also, can this product take the place of both Talstar P (flying insects) and Imidapro 2SC (soil insects) if I spray it in my yard?
    A

     

    Demand CS is not labeled for grubs but we do offer products that are effective. Demand CS is listed for flying and crawling insects. Please take a few moments to review our article on How to Get Rid of Grubs for the best results. You would treat the flying and crawling insects with either Demand CS or Talstar P. Talstar P is not labeled for grubs also. 

    When applying ImidaPro 2SC for grub control, it is important to use sufficient water when applying to move the active ingredient through the thatch layer of grass into the soil where the insects will be or are feeding as soon as possible. This is usually an extra 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch of rainfall or irrigation with the application. As long as you do not have excessive rainfall while the application is still wet, and/or the ground is not saturated, then you should have residual activity for several weeks following the application.

    To control White grub larvae, (such as Japanese beetle larvae, Chafers, Phyllophaga spp., Asiatic garden beetle, Oriental beetle) apply 0.46 to 0.6 fluid ounces (14 to 17 mL) per 1,000 sq. ft. Make broadcast applications by mixing specified rate in enough water to uniformly cover the treated area. Do not use less than 2 gallons of water per 1,000 sq. ft. Please refer to the product label for complete application instructions.

  • Asked by Charlotte from Lehi
    05/01/2018
    Q
    Can I spray my back patio off 24 hours after Demand CS was applied, or will it wash off the product?
    Also does mopping wash it off?
    A

    If you plan to clean an area where you are going to spray a residual insecticide such as Demand CS, then it would be best to do your cleaning first and then apply the insecticide. This will not only ensure that you are spraying on the actual suface (rather than on top of dust/debris), but it will also prevent unecessary removal of your insecticide. Mopping or other abrasive cleaning will remove most if not all of your residual, so do these treatments before spraying for best results.

    Keep in mind that Demand CS and other pyrethroids should not be sprayed over the entire surface of a deck or other hard surface. Keep to perimeter treatments and spot treatments where target insects are found.

  • Asked by Sean from Nc

    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 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.
