    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.

    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
    Do I have to worry about Demand CS harming nearby small bird families ?
    I want to thoroughly spray the outside of my house about mid August. Small birds tend to fly around my house a lot as they like to nest under my porch.
    A
    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.

    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.

    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.

    Q
    Biting gnat/noseeums infestation in every room of a large 4 floors house. What's the best plan of action?
    No idea where they are coming from. Plants and drains seem to be free of them. Tried vacuuming every other day for weeks now. Fogging didn't work, maybe got more of them via open windows? Impossible to be still anywhere. Want products as a space spray for most active areas, and for rugs, and for general cleaning. Need to be careful around kids/dogs "licking" surfaces. Can be multiple products.
    A

    Biting midges do generally not enter structures, but midges are small enough to get through 16 mesh screens. Getting mesh screens with a higher number can keep these and other very tiny insects out of your home. Our experts recommend using a pyrethrin spray such as 565 Plus or Microcare to get rid of the adult midges in or around your home.

    Non-biting midges are attracted to lights, so it is recommended to draw your shades at night and wait as long as possible to turn on exterior lights to keep them away from your home. Using the FlyWeb Fly Light inside the home works great on flying insects inside the home.

    A great prodcut to use indoors and outdoors on your home that is safe for pets and kids once it has dried it called Onslaught. Onslaught can be used as a broadcast over carpeted areas inside the home mixing at 1oz per gallon of water. Spraying a product such as Onslaught on window screens, doors, bushes, and plants around your home can act as midge repellant to keep midges away.

    Q
    Please recommend an insecticide for wingless moths that crawl up maple trees.
    Wingless moths crawl up my maples in late fall and lay thousands of eggs. Eggs hatch in spring. Canker worms defoliate trees. I need an insectide I can spray on the trunks and will kill the moths as they come in contact with it.
    A

    Spring is the best time to treat to try and grasp better control of the moths. If temps are above 50 degrees now, you can try and use Dormant Oil. This will suffocate them once they come in contact with the solution. Malathion would be a great product to use in the Spring to treat the eggs.

    Q
    Is it more potent to mix Demand CS with ExciteR to kill scorpions?
    A

    Demand CS can be mixed with ExciteR. ExciteR is a synergist and will provide a faster knockdown of the scorpions. Be sure to spray the areas where you have seen activity so that the scorpions walk through it.

    Q
    I'd like to spray my yard with Demand CS for ticks.
    However, we have a TON of (now flowering) clover this year, and the bees are everywhere. I certainly don't want to risk hurting them ! This also brings up another question- are there any other "good" bugs that Demand might kill inside or outside the house besides bees ? Thanks.
    A
    Demand CS is not a selective insecticide and it will kill most insects that contact the treated area. We recommend learning how to create a tick free zone around your yard and only spraying in those areas where ticks are known to inhabit. Make sure the property around your home is unattractive to ticks. Because ticks are sensitive to dry conditions and do not thrive in short vegetation, they are seldom a problem in well-maintained lawns. Keep your grass mowed and keep weeds cut. Clean up items that attract rodents which can carry ticks, such as spilled birdseed, and hiding places like old wood piles. If ticks are present in vegetation along the edge of the property, insecticides labeled for control of ticks can be applied to small areas of high weeds that cannot be mowed. Often, one or two applications per season will be adequate to control ticks in these areas.

    Q
    I want to spray my lawn for FLEAS, I just bought bought 1 quart of Demand CS, will 1 quart be enough?
    My lawn is infested with fleas.
    A
    At the highest usage rate you will use .8 fl oz of Demand CS per gallon of water to cover a 1,000 sq ft area so each quart of Demand CS will make 40 finished gallons of solution which will treat 40,000 sq ft.
