    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
    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.

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

    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
    Once Demand CS is dried on surface does freezing then matter or should you wait till its above freezing even at night?
    A

    It would be best to make the Demand CS application when temperatures are above freezing. This way, the residual does not break down as quickly as when temps are below freezing.

    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
    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
    Using Demand CS For Stink Bugs
    I used D-fense SC (Active Ingredient : 4.75% Deltamethrin) but it did not get rid of my Stink Bugs in the house. So I have 3 questions. #1 Can I use Demand CS right now even though I sprayed the D-fense SC? $2 What areas do I need to spray Demand CS? Is spraying the window frames, house brick walls, and foundation good enough? #3 Lastly is Demand SC safe on aluminum window clad and composite frames?
    A
    Yes, you can use Demand SC even though you have already sprayed, although you would want to wait 7 days between treatments. Stink Bugs will try to emerge in the spring and common places that people find stinks bugs are in the window sills and this is a great place to treat along with the baseboards, back behind and underneath appliances, in attics, and where pipes enter the the wall. Demand SC is safe on aluminum and composite frames and will not harm any surface that is tolerable to water.

    Q
    Can Demand Cs be used outside in Cold weather?
    During what type of temperatures should I not use Demand CS outside around the perimeter of the home.
    A
    As long as it is not freezing outside you can safely use Demand CS outdoors. Since the product is water based trying apply it in below freezing temperatures would not yield positive results.

    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.
