    Q
    How can I stop Demand CS from staining the wood floors?
    I spay demand sc and it stains the wood floor and base boards. It can then be wiped off but is a pain too do. I used pest tabs in the past and did not have this problem. What should I do to eliminate the stains?
    A

    If Demand CS is leaving a visible residue, then we would recommend to use a lower dilution rate (0.2-0.4 oz. per gallon of water). Also, be sure you are only spraying as a spot and/or crack and crevice treatment. You could also consider going to an insecticide that is not micro-encapsulated, such as Talstar P. If you are removing all the reside, then you would need to reapply the insecticide.

    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
    Is Demand CS better than Suspend Polyzone fo stink bugs
    I've great success with Demand CS over the past several years, using it on the outside of my house to kill stink bugs. Suspend Polyzone seems to be a newer alternative. Is it better than Demand CS. Suspend advertises it as lasting longer?
    A
    Demand CS is still a great product on stink bugs and other pest. If it is working we recommend to stick with it. Suspend Polyzone has a Polymer protecting the active ingredient which would give  you a longer lasting residual.

    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 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.

    Q
    How long will it take Demand CS to dry when applied inside for it to be safe for people to enter?
    A
    How long it will take to dry will depend entirely on how heavily you sprayed the product and how well the air circulation in the home is. It could take 30 minutes up to 2 hours for a full dry time so keeping the people out of the home for at least 2 hours should be sufficient.

  • Asked by Kelly from New Jersey
    05/27/2015
    Q
    Can you mix Demand CS and Transport Mikron together for application?
    A
    There is no valid reason to mix Transport Mikron and Demand CS together, it would not make either product work better or produce better results, though it could make treated areas repellent to insects which lessening the effectiveness of the treatment. You should choose one product, read the product label and follow it closely.

    If I do a root drench with Lamba Cyhalothrin can my plants absorb it like Imidicloprid?

  • Asked by Caroline from West Virginia
    09/27/2015
    Q
    Does Demand CS NOT work for yellow jackets?
    I'm wondering whether this is the wrong pesticide, or if the bottle I have is expired. Been spraying the stuff into place where many, many yellow jackets are entering and exiting (I think they must have a nest inside a pipe on the side of our house), as well as spraying directly on the insects, and it has zero effect. Scores of healthy yellow jackets before, during, and after spraying! I've never seen an insecticide sprayed directly on insects that didn't seem to affect them at all. Bewildered. Any suggestions?
    A

    Demand CS should kill Yellow Jackets after they come in contact with it, however it is not specifically labeled for them. This would not be our number one recommendation for Yellow Jackets because it can take some time to kill them. Please check out our article "How to Get Rid of Yellow Jackets". If you can get to the openings where the yellow jackets are coming in and out from, we highly recommend applying a dust like Tempo 1% Dust and when the yellow jacket comes in contact with it, the dust will transfer from yellow jacket to yellow jacket and kill off the entire nest.

    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.

    Q
    I have a bad black widow problem, Would Demand CS be ideal?
    A
    Yes, Demand Cs will treat black widow. Your mixing ratio would be 24mL per gallon of water. After spraying, Demand CS leaves thousands of micro particles that bind to the surface offering long-term protection and fast insect knock-down.

  • 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.
