    Q
    How long does it take for Demand CS to kill carpenter bees?
    It says this is good for removing carpenter bees. How long does it take after contact to kill a carpenter bee?
    A

    When using Demand CS it can take minutes to hours to kill carpenter bees. The active ingredient needs time to work through the follicle of the insect to the central nervous system. You can spray surfaces they would land on to help prevent new holes, and treat inside existing holes for larvae with dusts like Delta Dust. You can also review the bet methods for treating carpenter bees in our Carpenter Bee Control Guide

    Q
    Demand CS alternatives.
    Label says to NOT use Demand all the time but instead try another product so bugs do not adapt to it. My #1 targeted pest is ants but spider #2 and then all the rest. What do you suggest? I use this outside and inside the house I have some FASTCAP on hand that I bought fo a different house where spiders were #1, 2, and 3 problem. Thanks!
    A

    Onslaught Fast Cap would be a great alternative to rotate treatments with Demand CS

    Q
    Pull behind sprayer PSI settings using Demand CS?
    I have a 20 gallon pull behind sprayer I would like to use. I can set the PSI on the pump. What PSI should this be sprayed at? Also, at what size tank is a buffer needed? I plan on spraying most of our 1 acre property including areas we have shrubs and paying special attention to my children's pool (covered) and playset as well as our patio.
    A

    Demand CS can be applied with the use of a "coarse, low-pressure spray," according to the product label. This would allow you to control the application so there is no runoff, pooling, dripping, etc. Depending on how far you need the spray to reach you can set it from 40 up to 150 PSI.

    Q
    Bedbugs?
    How long will it take to get rid of bedbugs? I live in a trailer that I think had them before I moved in and they come back every time I get rid of them and they aren't being brought in. I think they are in the walls
    A
    How fast Demand CS kills bedbugs depends on a few factors, it can take a few hours up to 24 hours or more based on how soon after application they contact a treated area, how long they spend on the treated area as well as the age/health of the insect.  Sprays alone are not enough to eliminate bedbugs though as you cannot use in all areas you need to treat.   

    Best option for bed bugs is our bed bug kit, which comes with the best products out right now that should be used by a professional company that knows what they are doing. All of our kits come with full instructions on how and where to apply each product in the kit. The kits have a high success rate when used as directed. We also have lots of treatment information on our website.

    Here is a link to the bed bug kits. They are priced and sized based on how many rooms you are treating: 

    All kits come with our Bed Bug Guide (pdf) with step by step instructions. Follow the directions concentrating in all cracks and crevices.  We also have Bed Bug Control articles that can help as well

  • Asked by Gina from Henderson, Nv
    10/05/2021
    Q
    Why am I still seeing insect day after Demand CS Insecticide application?
    A

    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.

    We also have a great general pest prevention guide that can help and general spray video

    Demand CS Insecticide is considered safe to appy to any surface that would not be damaged by water therefore using on artificial turf would be acceptable. If there are concerns, we recommend treating a small area first to determine or observe for any discoloration or unwanted residue left behind. 

    Apply at the product label rates of 0.4 to 0.8 fl oz per gallon of water.
