Demand CS Insecticide

Demand CS is a professional-grade insecticide that provides immediate and long-term pest control.  It contains 9.7% lambda-cyhalothrin, a synthetic pyrethroid that kills a broad spectrum of pests on contact or through ingestion, and an innovative microencapsulation technology formulation. 

How Demand CS Works 

Demand CS uses iCAP™ technology, a microencapsulation process that suspends thousands of capsules containing the lambda-cyhalothrin active ingredient. When pests encounter treated surfaces, these capsules break open on impact or are absorbed through the exoskeleton, killing insects quickly. The varying capsule sizes ensure some release immediately, while others provide long-lasting residual control for up to 90 days. Whether you're dealing with ants inside your kitchen, mosquitoes around your lawn, or spiders in your garage, Demand CS works quickly and keeps working longer than traditional insecticides.

Application Guidelines for Demand CS 

 Always read the product label and follow the instructions provided. 

Indoor Applications 

• Use Demand CS only as a crack and crevice treatment indoors. Reapply every 21 days if needed. 

•  Apply along baseboards, behind appliances, around plumbing entry points, inside wall voids, and in other pest hiding spots. 

• Do not apply to exposed surfaces or areas with food contact.  

• Always keep children and pets out of the treated area until the spray has dried completely. 

• Foam use: Demand CS may be converted into foam for the treatment of voids in walls and structural areas. 

• For bed bug control: 

• Mix at 0.2–0.4 fl. oz. per gallon of water 

• Apply only to cracks and crevices 

• Do not apply to mattresses, bedding, or furniture where people sit or lie down 

Outdoor Applications 

• Apply Demand CS along the building foundation and around entry points such as doors, windows, vents, eaves, and utility openings for outdoor pest control. 

• Demand CS is also effective for use on lawns, shrubs, and ornamental plants where pests rest or breed. 

• Avoid treating surfaces recently exposed to residual insecticides to ensure maximum product effectiveness. 

• For ornamental pests: Use 1.5-5 fl. oz (44-148 mL)/100 gallons of water. May be applied at 7-day intervals if necessary. Use lower dilution rates for more frequent applications or limit to spot treatment. The addition of a spreader sticker may increase application to waxy foliage. 

• For lawn and turfgrass pests: Use 3.4-7 mL/1000 square feet or 5-10 fl. oz./acre 

• For thatch or subsurface-inhabiting pests: Use irrigation after application or higher water volumes to carry the active ingredient to the target pests. 

Application Rates (Mixing Ratios) 

Mix the following amount of Demand CS per 1 gallon of water, depending on the level of infestation: 

• 0.2 fl. oz. (6 mL) – 0.015% dilution 
  For light infestations, general maintenance, and common crawling pests 

• 0.4 fl. oz. (12 mL) – 0.03% dilution 
  For moderate infestations 

• 0.8 fl. oz. (24 mL) – 0.06% dilution 
  For heavy infestations, clean-out treatments, or control of spiders, scorpions, etc. 

Infestation Levels & Product Yield 

• 8 oz. bottle yields 10-40 gallons of finished spray solution, depending on dilution rate 

• 32 oz. (quart) bottle yields 40-160 gallons of finished spray solution 

• Product Coverage: 

• At the lowest rate (0.2 fl. oz./gallon), a 32 oz. bottle treats up to 160,000 sq. ft. 

• Higher rates reduce total gallons accordingly for stronger infestations 

Tips for Maximum Effectiveness 

• Use a hand pump sprayer: A 1-gallon pump sprayer offers the best control for precise applications both indoors (crack and crevice) and outdoors (perimeter and foundation). 

• Keep children and pets safe: After application, wait at least 30 minutes before allowing children or pets to re-enter treated indoor areas. Always allow surfaces to fully dry. 

• Plan around the weather: For outdoor applications, apply when rain is not expected for at least 24 hours. This ensures Demand CS adheres to treated surfaces for maximum residual effect. Some turf or ornamental applications may benefit from light irrigation—check the label for guidance. 

• Tank mixing tip: If mixing with other insecticides or products, add Demand CS last to the spray tank to ensure proper dilution and stability. 

• Boost with an insect growth regulator (IGR): For complete life-cycle control of pests like fleas, use Demand CS in combination with NyGuard IGR or a similar IGR product. This helps eliminate both adults and immature stages. 

• Storage matters: Store Demand CS in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to maintain product integrity and shelf life.
