    Q
    CanIi spray Demand Cs when the weather is yucky and rain off and on?
    if i spray DemandCS just before it rains will the rain wash the chemicals off ?
    A
    You should wait to apply Demand CS on a day when rain is not expected. The product cannot adhere to wet surfaces and rain would wash it away if the application had not had a chance to dry before the rain came.

    Q
    Can I apply DEMAND CS via a Blag FLag Propane Fogger instead of using a hudson sprayer?
    A
    We do not carry Black Flag Foggers and so we cannot make an accurate recommendation. We can say that in the foggers we do carry, the Demand CS particles are too large and have the potential to clog the fogger.

  • Asked by Linda from South Milwaukee, Wi
    10/24/2013
    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
    Does Demand CS kill squash bugs?
    A

    While Demand CS could potentially kills squash bugs since it is a non-selective insecticide, you cannot use Demand CS on edible plants like a vegetable garden. We have many other products you could use for squash bugs on edible plants, such as Triple Action or Pyganic Gardening.

    05/05/2017
    Q
    Will Demand CS kill butterflies if they land on it? Are there bugs that are resistant to Demand CS?
    A

    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.

    Q
    Can Demand CS be used around a pond with fish?
    I have used granular insecticides in the past but when I used them around my pond there was runoff and had a fish kill. I am looking for flea/tick/ant/grub/mosquito control.
    A

    Demand CS treatments should be kept at least 25 feet away from any bodies of water and should be applied where no runoff into a pond can occur.   For a better option closer to the pond a natural product like EcoVia would work.

  • Asked by Joe from Naples Florida
    03/03/2022
    Q
    Can Demand CS Insecticide be applied over the top of a pool cage screen enclosure?
    Is it a violation of the label to apply demand cs all over a pool cage screen enclosure even above the pool incuding to the top of the pool aluminum framing? In essence applying it as a broadcast application not being able to control drift or have control of a specific targeted area?
    A

    Demand CS can be applied to surfaces of buildings, porches, screens, window frames, eaves, patios, garages, refuse dumps, and other similar areas where these insect pests are active. If spraying over a swimming pool, propert measures would need to be taken by covering the pool while spraying to avoid overspray from contaminating the water.

  • Asked by Joaquin from Miami, Florida
    12/30/2018
    Q
    Can you apply Demand SC directly to a bed (mattress) where humans sleep?
    Friend has fleas/ticks in her house she wants to know if it's safe to apply it to her bed because she sleeps with her dog.
    A

    No, Demand CS  is NOT labeled for applications to mattresses where humans sleep directly for your safety. NyGuard Plus is labeled for ticks and fleas and it can be applied to the mattress. Spray only surfaces that cannot be laundered or dry-cleaned including mattresses and upholstered furniture. Apply on mattresses as a spot treatment to mattress seams, edges, buttons, and tufts of bed only. Do not use directly on pillows, bed linens, or cloths. Do not saturate the mattress and do not treat entire surface area of the mattress. Allow mattress to dry thoroughly before replacing pillows and/or bed linens. You will wash and dry linens in heat to eradicate any present fleas or ticks and allow the product to completely dry prior to making the bed. Please take a few moments to review our How to Get Rid of Fleas and How to Get Rid of Ticks articles for more detailed information.

  • Asked by Paul from San Tan Valley

    Q
    Will Demand CS hurt my tortoises if they eat grass where it was applied?
    A

    Demand CS is typically safe when used as directed and animals are kept out of the area until dry.  However, we recommend contacting your vet for specific advice on what is safe to spray.  We are not sure what would be toxic in the tortoises’ environment and we certainly do not want to recommend anything that could be dangerous.

  • Asked by Harry from Socal
    07/29/2023
    Q
    What's best for FAST knock-down of flies/mosquitoes?
    I've been doing some reading and found Talstar P and Demand CS to be preferred for flies/mosquitoes. Additionally, I see ExciteR to be suggested as an additive for a faster knock-down. In the summer months, I am plagued with flies due to local cow fields. In the evening hours, the mosquitoes are quite bothersome. So, sadly we get no rest… day is flies, and when it cools in the evening it's mosquitoes. What would be the best product(s) for a FAST knockdown and eradication of these nuisances? My go-to insecticide has been Termidor SC (which has been phenomenal for other insect eradication, long term) however, it's practically useless for knock-down unless applied directly.
    A

    ExciteR Insecticide would be the best choice to be mixed with other insecticides such as Demand CS Insecticide. Residual insecticides do not kill on contact, instead, they area bit more slow-acting. So you can use a synergist such as Exciter to kill anything it comes in contact with. Exciter leaves no residual so it needs to be mixed with a residual insecticide. It is labeled for a variety of flying insects such as mosquitoes & flies. It can be sprayed more often than residual insecticides since it has no residual. Products such as Demand or Talstar should only be sprayed every 3-4 weeks due to their long-lasting residual while Exciter can be sprayed more frequently (if needed).
