Demand CS should only be used around the baseboards, cracks and crevices in an attic. This product should not be sprayed on insulation since it is diluted in water. A better option may be to use insecticide dust such as Delta Dust in the attic.
The Chapin Slide Pump Sprayer would likely suit your needs well.The brass pump develops pressure up to 150 psi and allows you to reach targets over 30 feet away! Perfect for spraying the eaves of your home or any hard to reach areas. You can see a video of the sprayer in use here:

We would recommend that you keep animals out of the area while Demand CS is wet. Once the product is dry, it is safe for pets/animals to return back to the area. There is such a small amount of the active ingredient that actually gets on the bugs before they die that it will not affect any animals that consume the dead bugs.
You can use either Cy-Kick CS or Demand CS in a Solo 451 Backpack Sprayer. For Demand CS, use 0.2 - 0.8 fl. oz. of concentrate per gallon of water or per 1,000 square feet. Keep in mind that a mist blower like the Solo will apply product very quickly, so be sure you are using correct use rates when applying product over large areas. You should also be sure to follow all label directions and precautions, such as applying when conditions are calm.
No, Demand CS is not labeled to kill mold. It is only an insecticide.
The only mold remediation product we sell is Boracare with Mold-Care, which can be used on raw structural wood for mold remediation and prevention.
We would recommend contacting the manufacturer of Demand CS directly to see if it would be advisable to plant anything in the area that was treated, or the best method to remove the product from the soil, if possible. You can reach Syngenta at 866-796-4368.
Spring is the best time to treat to try and grasp better control of the moths. If temps are above 50 degrees now, you can try and use Dormant Oil. This will suffocate them once they come in contact with the solution. Malathion would be a great product to use in the Spring to treat the eggs.
Demand CS can be wiped up with hot water and soap. The product is safe for your dog even if over sprayed on the floor after it has completely dried.
Demand CS should kill Yellow Jackets after they come in contact with it, however it is not specifically labeled for them. This would not be our number one recommendation for Yellow Jackets because it can take some time to kill them. Please check out our article "How to Get Rid of Yellow Jackets". If you can get to the openings where the yellow jackets are coming in and out from, we highly recommend applying a dust like Tempo 1% Dust and when the yellow jacket comes in contact with it, the dust will transfer from yellow jacket to yellow jacket and kill off the entire nest.
Demand CS is not labeled for grubs but we do offer products that are effective. Please take a few moments to review our article on How to Get Rid of Grubs for the best results.
Demand CS is applied indoors once every three months to the interior cracks and crevices and outdoors monthly. It is great for many insects including scorpions. In fact, our Scorpion Control Kit contains Demand CS.
Demand CS would be a good choice to use around the inside and outside of your home to eliminate centipedes. Suspend SC is safe for people and pets when used as directed on the product label. Indoors you can apply Suspend SC to door frames, window frames, places where utilities enter into the structure, and any other place where the insects can gain entry. Outdoors you should apply the product to door frames, window frames, places where utilities enter into the structure, around the bottom of the foundation and out onto the ground directly around the foundation. You can also limit favorable conditions that the centipedes need to thrive.
Remove Favorable Conditions
Demand CS can be converted to a foam and mixed with a foaming agent for treating wall voids. We do carry a Chapin Poly Foamer that you could mix Demand CS, water and a foaming agent and disperse per product label instructions.
Demand CS is labeled for 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 MotherEarth 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. MotherEarth 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.
First you want to
Then you want to flush out the area with an adulticide like:
CB Air Devil HPX is a cypermethrin residual contact kill aerosol that HPX is specially formulated to clear out large numbers of target insects fast, and provides up to 3 months of protection. For treatment of millipedes, spray CB Air Devil around doors and windows and other areas where millipedes may be found or where they may enter premises. Spray baseboards, storage areas and other locations. Repeat as necessary.
Next you want to do the perimeter treatment indoors and out.
Demand CS, and Suspend SC, are residual liquid formulation pesticides that are added to water and applied with a low-pressure sprayer can provide a powerful residual that continues working for 4 to 8 weeks following application. These residual liquid formulations can be sprayed along the outside perimeter of the home (especially under and around eaves, decks, patios, and window shutters), and inside along baseboards, in cracks and crevices, and other potential millipede harborages. You will know the residual is working because you will begin finding only dead millipedes rather than live ones.
Since Demand CS is not labeled to be applied to pools, we would recommend to air on the side of caution and contact the manufacturer. You can contact Syngenta at 866-796-4368
Demand CS will kill grass hoppers that come in contact with it. Dilute at 8 mL per gallon of water.
