    Q
    When using Demand, can you spray this near bushes and shrubs and on grass?
    Also, using this product in the home, where should you spray? Can you get some spray on the carpeting? I love this product and have had a professional use it twice a year and now I would like to save some money and try it myself. Can you provide some helpful hints in HOW to spray around the inside and outside of the house! Thanks in advance for your help!
    A
    Yes, you can apply Demand CS on and around bushes and shrubs and on grass. In fact you want to spray around the outside perimeter 2-3 feet up and out. Indoors you want to spray cracks, crevices, baseboards. It will not stain should a small amount land on carpeting.

    Q
    How do I know when the time is right for the first application of Demand CS?
    Is there a general date or average temperature? I live in South Dakota.
    A

    There really is not a specific date or temperature (as long as it is above freezing) to apply Demand CS.  It can be applied any time the pest(s) you are treating for are active.  If you are treating outdoors, you will need to apply every 30-90 days, and every 90 days indoors.

    Q
    If a bird eats a dead roach sprayed the night before with Demand CS, will it harm the bird?
    Sprayed yard around 10pm, next morning there was a staggering amount of dead or dying roaches all over. Came home from work around 5pm and 95% of the carcasses were gone. As I sat there bewildered a little bird landed no more then 5ft. from me, grabbed a dead roach and flew away. So please tell me this will not hurt the birds! Thanks for your time! I forgot to mention
    A

    There is such a small amount of the active ingredient in Demand CS that actually gets on the bugs before they die that it will not affect any animals that consume the dead bugs

  • Asked by Casey from Pasadena, Ca
    01/07/2021
    Q
    Does Demand CS work to treat Pine Bark Beetle?
    I have been trying very hard to spot the actual beetles but have not seen any. I do however, see a bald patch of trunk on my black pine with what looks to be 3 woodpecker holes. Some branches have all brown needles. In cypress trees nearby, I see trails of yellow sap seeping out and some branches there already turned brown. I'm so so sad as this black pine is a very fancy Japanese bonsai style tree and I might have lost a few small trunks with the brown needles.
    A

    An insecticide such as Demand CS can be used to prevent infestations of bark beetles such as pine bark beetles, however usually this treatment is not effective once trees are already infested. You want to spray down the trunks of nearby trees to protect them from infestation. You may need to consult a local arborist if you are unsure whether the trees can be saved. You can usually trim and destroy infested branches, however keep in mind that this pest will usually infest trees that are already weak from some other existing issue (disease, drought, etc.).

    Q
    When spraying a tree for elm beetles that is next to my pond do I need to worry about the over spray?
    When spraying a tree for elm beetles that is next to my pond do I need to worry about the over spray of Demand CS hurting my fish?
    A
    Yes, Demand CS like any other insecticide can be very lethal to fish.  It would be advised to apply the product on a day that is not windy, and possibly even holding up a sheet of plastic on the other side of where you are spraying to protect overspray from going towards the pond.  Also, apply on a day when it is not going to rain so the product has time to dry and bond to its surface so it does not run off.

    Will Demand CS kill butterflies if they land on it? Are there bugs that are resistant to Demand CS?

    The Demand CS label does not list butterfiles on the labels, however, to be sure you are not contacting them while applying, apply in the early morning or late evening when bees, butterflies and many other insects are less active in the area.

    Q
    How do I kill grasshoppers and not bees and butterflies and my outside cats?
    I use the nolo bait in most of my yard and I have chickens to get the stragglers. but I have part of my yard fenced off to keep the chickens out of my flowers and it is being over run by adult grasshoppers. I do the catch and kill every nite, but not enough as it sounds like bb's hitting the house when I walk around it. I have outside kitties and butterflys and bees that I don't want to harm what would you suggest? I need help fast. I have open fields on all 4 sides of me so it is a neverending battle
    A

    If it's the area that's fenced off, you can spray Demand CS around the yard and flowers but avoid the blooms or areas where bees and butterflies land so it won't be harmful to them.

  • Asked by William from West Monroe, La
    04/18/2018
    Q
    Will Demand CS kill soil dwelling insects and flying insects?
    I am trying to find a product that can control grubs and other ground insects that tear up my lawn. I have a 17,000 sq ft lawn and would like to use something that can be used with my Gilmour hose end sprayer. Also, can this product take the place of both Talstar P (flying insects) and Imidapro 2SC (soil insects) if I spray it in my yard?
    A

     

    Demand CS is not labeled for grubs but we do offer products that are effective. Demand CS is listed for flying and crawling insects. Please take a few moments to review our article on How to Get Rid of Grubs for the best results. You would treat the flying and crawling insects with either Demand CS or Talstar P. Talstar P is not labeled for grubs also. 

    When applying ImidaPro 2SC for grub control, it is important to use sufficient water when applying to move the active ingredient through the thatch layer of grass into the soil where the insects will be or are feeding as soon as possible. This is usually an extra 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch of rainfall or irrigation with the application. As long as you do not have excessive rainfall while the application is still wet, and/or the ground is not saturated, then you should have residual activity for several weeks following the application.

    To control White grub larvae, (such as Japanese beetle larvae, Chafers, Phyllophaga spp., Asiatic garden beetle, Oriental beetle) apply 0.46 to 0.6 fluid ounces (14 to 17 mL) per 1,000 sq. ft. Make broadcast applications by mixing specified rate in enough water to uniformly cover the treated area. Do not use less than 2 gallons of water per 1,000 sq. ft. Please refer to the product label for complete application instructions.
