Q

North Texas area. I haves 20 cubic yard pile of mulch that is full of scorpions. Can I treat it with Demand CS
I bought this mulch to use as a weed prevention barrier under fruit trees but hadn't spread it yet when I saw scorpions nesting in it. I'm using Demand to keep the scorpions out of my house but need to treat the mound itself before spreading. The mulch would not touch the stem, leaves, branches, or fruit on the trees.

A

Demand CS should not be applied within the dripline of the tree, branches, stems, soil, leaves, fruit, etc.

Q

How long to kill clover mites?
Had Demand CS sprayed yesterday for clover mites, both inside and outside. I saw very little clover mites after the spray, but today I've seen more inside my house. I'm wondering if that is normal or if I should try something different. Now that it has dried, does it take clover mites longer to die once it has come into contact with Demand CS?

A

Demand CS is a residual insecticide that will continue to work on insects as they contact the treated areas. It is natural to see a quicker reduction of insects after spraying while the application is still wet. The mix rate for Demand CS is 0.2 fl to 0.4fl oz per gallon of water.

Demand CS is labeled for certain mites in general across a lawn only.

Here is our best advice on mite control:
It is important to be absolutely sure you are actually dealing with mites. Have the suspected mite identified by a reputable source, such as your local cooperative extension office or a reputable pest control operator. Treatments will vary for different pests. Treatment for say bedbugs is much different than the treatment for mites. If you do indeed have mites, you must first find the source of the infestation, usually a bird nest or a dead rodent on or in the home. Removal of the infested nest or bird and a thorough cleanup is necessary. For treatment in the home, we recommend you frequently vacuum all carpet and upholstery and dispose of the bag or vacuum contents in a sealed bag outdoors. Spray Sterifab on couches, chairs and other upholstered furniture where you may spend time resting. Use Cimexa Dust in all cracks and crevices around the perimeter of the room. Apply a thin coat of Diatomaceous Earth dust to rugs and carpets. Rake (not sweep) nap back and forth, causing dust to enter rug or carpet. Let product sit overnight. Repeat application as necessary and vacuum every 3 - 4 days for effective control. Diatomaceous Earth dust does not have a fast knockdown, it can take several days for insects to die after they contact the dust. Onslaught can be used for a faster knockdown. Thoroughly apply as a fine particle broadcast spray using a hand pump sprayer to infested rugs and carpets and other cracks and crevices around the perimeter of each room. Put all clothes through the dryer on high heat to help kill mites and their eggs. We have had many customers use the above recommendations with great success. Most customers report that it can take several months to get rid of all of the mites. Finding and removing the source of the infestation is very important and is the key to getting rid of the mites for good.

Can I use Demand CS in a Hose End Sprayer, such as Chapin?

Yes, first, you need to determine how many gallons of water you will be using. To find out how many gallons of water you need to use you will calculate the square footage of the area to be treated (Demand CS recommends 1 gallon of mixed solution 1,000 sq feet).

Yes, first, you need to determine how many gallons of water you will be using. To find out how many gallons of water you need to use you will calculate the square footage of the area to be treated (Demand CS recommends 1 gallon of mixed solution 1,000 sq feet). For instance, if you have a 6,000-square-foot yard that you plan on treating then you would need to multiply 6 x 0.8 which equals 4.8 - You would then add 4.8 oz of Demand CS to the reservoir. Once you add the desired amount of Demand CS to the reservoir, then you will add water to the line selected (6-gallon line mark on the reservoir). You would then set the dial on the top of the Chapin Hose End Sprayer to 6 gallons. Do not turn the water on when adjusting the spray nozzle. Next, select the desired spray pattern and then spray until the reservoir is empty.
