Demand CS Insecticide is considered a repellent because insects can detect it. This does not mean they are truly repelled from the area they can just choose to avoid it as they know something is there. They must contact the treated area to be effected by the product though. You will still see insects after application but as long as they contact the area long enough they will die, this could be within a few minutes, hours or up to 24 or more depending on a few factors such as type of insect, age/heatlh, how long they spent on the treated area and how long after application they contacted it.
