    Q
    If my mattress and furniture have been sprayed with Demand CS, what concerns should I have?
    I was told by a bug expert to spray my mattress. I did so with just the bed bug cover - all bedding was removed. Is it safe for me to sleep on?
    A

    No, Demand CS is NOT labeled for applications to mattresses and you should not sleep on it directly now for your safety. If the cover was the only thing treated, we recommend applying a new encasement, new sheets/blankets.

    Q
    Does Demand CS harm toads tree frog or lizards?
    A

    Demand CS will not harm frogs or lizards if used per the labeled instructions.  You may notice a decline in the population, however, since the Demand CS is designed to eliminate the incests, which are their main food source.

    Q
    Recommend a chemical for indoors and outdoors, preferably micro-encapsulated.
    The trend in pest control seems to be exterior-only treatments. That sounds like a great way to cut down on the amount of chemicals inside the home. Do you know which chemicals are being used or could you recommend one? I'm leaning toward a microencapsulated type such as Demand CS. Will it hold up well outdoors and keep the bugs out? Thanks.
    A
    Demand CS would be a great choice for general pest control. It will hold up well to UV rays and rain and because it is a micro-encapsulated it works a little bit like a time released formula.

  • Asked by Bianca from Toronto, Ontario
    09/29/2015
    Q
    How do I safely clean up Demand CS that has been sprayed on the floor instead of in cracks/crevices?
    We used Demand CS to control carpet beetles but we incorrectly sprayed the product along the floor, about a foot from the wall, around the entire perimeter of our condo (rather then just using as a crack/crevice treatment). What is the best way to clean our floor to remove the product? We are concerned about our little dog walking on the product.
    A

    Demand CS can be wiped up with hot water and soap. The product is safe for your dog even if over sprayed on the floor after it has completely dried.

  • Asked by Adam from Kirksville, Missouri
    09/19/2011
    Q
    Is it dangerous to remain in an area where Demand CS has been sprayed?
    An exterminator came by today and began using Demand CS in my apartment, focusing on the baseboards, "for spiders." He mentioned it lasted some time but did not mention any vapors, or hazards. I stayed for some 10 to 20 minutes in the apartment as it dried, getting ready for class. Should I be concerned?
    A
    In the future it would be wise for you to leave the treated area until the application of Demand CS has had a chance to dry to avoid accidentally contacting wet areas. Vapors are usually not a concern with water based insecticides that are sprayed on using a pump sprayer.

    When used as directed on the product label, Demand CS is safe to use outdoors in areas where birds frequent. Be sure the birds are out of the area when the Demand is being applied and try to keep the birds away until the area is dry.

  • Asked by Nina from Mayfield Heights, Oh
    11/27/2013
    Q
    Can I mix/spray from an ordinary spray bottle?
    ...instead of purchasing a professional sprayer.
    A
    According to the product label, it is recommended to mix and spray Demand CS using at least a one gallon pump sprayer. You will mix 0.2-0.8 oz. (6-24 milliliters) per gallon of water per 1,000 sq ft depending on the insect you are treating.

  • Asked by John from Clarksville, Tn
    03/25/2016
    Q
    Will Demand CS harm chickens if they come into contact or if they eat bugs that have been killed by Demand CS?
    A

    We would recommend that you keep animals out of the area while Demand CS is wet. Once the product is dry, it is safe for pets/animals to return back to the area. There is such a small amount of the active ingredient that actually gets on the bugs before they die that it will not affect any animals that consume the dead bugs.

    Q
    How do you get rid of Chinese Cockroaches?
    We lived in the suburbs of North. Los Angeles. They are in our yard, streets, sidewalks, lawn, they are large and horrible. My husband has sprayed with bug killer in the surrounding areas of the house. The perimeter of the outside concrete walls at night in the morning he finds them dead. Then more come, so he is now using diozon to kill them, but they keep coming. We are not the only ones that have this problem. They are coming out the main sewer system. Is this a City problem? Your answer on this would be very much appreciated. Thank you
    A
    I would recommend spraying Demand CS. It is an amazing general insecticide that can be broadcasted across your lawn. This product can also be used inside as well along the baseboards of your home and in cracks and crevices. Roaches do need water to survive so it's possible they live underground. I would call the Cooperative Extension in your area to find out for sure.

  • Asked by Mimi

    Q
    Which is best for bed bug control; Suspend SC, Cyonara 9.7 or Demand CS? Which would you use?
    I know they are all good, but which is the most effective (with the least chance of harming to humans)?
    A
    You are right, all of these products work very well. All three products have an active ingredient that is classified as a synthetic pyrethroid, so they really are very similar in the way that they work. Cyonara and Demand CS share the exact same active ingredient at the exact same concentration, so they do the same job. Suspend SC is a bit more versatile when it comes to bedbug treatments, and it can be sprayed on mattresses, carpets (spot treat only) and on furniture (crack and crevice only) where neither the Demand CS or Cyonara can be applied.

    I spray on brick and on eves of house.

    Demand CS has not been proven to kill Geckos. It will kill the pest they are preying on, therefore, they will leave the area.

    Q
    Is Demand CS systemic in plants or just a contact killer?
    If I do a root drench with Lamba Cyhalothrin can my plants absorb it like Imidicloprid?
    A

    Demand CS is not a systemic. As in, it will not leach into soil. It does not leach into soil like Imidicloprid products.

  • Asked by Edward from San Antonio, Tx
    09/14/2017
    Q
    Will Demand CS work on chiggers when sprayed in a yard?
    A

    Yes, Demand CS is applied to lawns at the rate of 7ml per 1,000 sq ft. Treatments for chiggers should begin in May and could need to continue through the summer as new chiggers move into the area. Treating the entire lawn is of little benefit because chiggers avoid direct sunlight and normally will not infest areas that are mowed or otherwise well maintained. Focus treatment on the unkempt areas of the lawn and lawn edge. You can also use Demand CS to do a barrier treatment around the outside of your home and in your crawl space to stop pests from moving indoors.

  • Asked by Mike from Phoenix, Az
    08/24/2011
    Q
    Is there anything stronger than Demand CS for spider control?
    I've been treating with Demand CS for years and have been generally happy with the results but this summer in particular, I've been having a rough time with some big spiders and I'm looking for something stronger. What is your recommendation?
    A
    Demand CS is a pretty hardy product but if you are spraying porous surfaces it may be getting absorbed and in general may be less available to the intruding spiders. Demon WP is our most popular spider control product. Demon WP is a wettable powder insecticide that will stay on the surface of porous areas and may be easier for the spiders to contact. Be sure you are spraying outside around the foundation of your home, around door frames, window frames and any place where the spiders may gain entry indoors to stop these pests before they get inside.
