Demand CS is not labeled to be used where animals graze and would not be recommended in this area. The only insecticide product we carry that would be safe is the Essentria All Purpose though baiting is the recommended method for carpenter ants. We have a great guide here on how to treat for them that could help.
Demand CS is not a contact kill so once a fly contacts a treated area it could still get inside before it succombs to the insecticide, but that does mean that it is working. If the cluster flies have already made their way indoors they will be harder to control because they usually hide in a wall void or other inaccessible area and are only visible when the house warms up. If the cluster flies are in an attic or drop ceiling or other dark area, a fly light would do a great job controlling the population. Using small fly lights such as the FlyWeb Fly Light in the house would also help to catch the flies. Spray Talstar directly on baseboards, window frames, door frames, and places where utilities (pipes, wires, cables) enter in to the building and any other crack, crevice or gap where insects can enter. We also have a great guide here on "How to Get Rid of Cluster Flies" that might help.
Demand CS is not labled to control dust mites in the home. We would suggest using a product like Bedlam Insecticide in labeled areas for residual control, and a product like Sterifab in areas where you want a contact kill on any surface and in areas you can't spray Bedlam.
If Demand CS is leaving a visible residue, then we would recommend to use a lower dilution rate (0.2-0.4 oz. per gallon of water). Also, be sure you are only spraying as a spot and/or crack and crevice treatment. You could also consider going to an insecticide that is not micro-encapsulated, such as Talstar P. If you are removing all the reside, then you would need to reapply the insecticide.
