    Q
    Will Demand CS harm turtles?
    I have a lot of turtles (and frogs) in my yard. I do not want to harm them. I see answers about no harm to frogs but what about turtles?
    A

    Demand CS Insecticide is safe to use around animals as long as they are out of the area while you are spraying, they can return as soon as the area is dry. Although The Demand CS Insecticide is safe once it's dried, you do not want to apply directly to water, to areas where surface water is present, or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Drift and run-off from treated areas may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in neighboring areas.

    Q
    Is there a better or more organic option for outdoor American roach control?
    I’ve used Demand CS for my outdoor patio, building perimeter, cement walkways, mulch bed, and grass areas it has worked great. However this year I have a garden planted and I’m concerned about runoff or contamination of my vegetable garden. I have an issue with American roaches, earwigs, ants, beetles,
    A

    Depending on the distance of your edible garden to the home, mulch beds, etc, you can block overspray with insecticides using a plastic tarp or cardboard. Avoid spraying on windy days where spray drift would occur and when rainfall is not expected for atleast 24 hrs. 
     
    For the edible garden itself, we do carry Cyonara Lawn and Garden, which is labeled for several different vegetable plants and contains the same active ingredient as Demand CS.

    Q
    Does demand CS kill fleas and ticks?
    A

    Yes, Demand CS Insecticide is labeled to control both fleas & ticks. However, our Outdoor Flea and Tick Kit would be a better choice. Demand only controls those fleas & ticks that come in contact with the residual, while Temprid leaves a residual that they take back with them

    Q
    Alternative to Demand CS
    Is there a more cost effective alternative to Demand CS? My target is primarily mosquitoes and ticks, and I need something for the higher heat months (the Bifen products don't last quite so long in higher temperatures) so I need it to be micro-encapsulated for longevity. Something without a horrible smell would be good too, I've used Cyonara before and that's tough. Thank you
    A

    Avesta CS is a great alternative to Demand CS, with the same active ingredient and is microencapsulated.

    Q
    Will Demand cs beige discolor my bricks and concrete?
    A

    Demand CS is not known to stain, It is a micro-encapsulated product which means that it contains tiny micro-capsules which stay up on the surface of porous areas such as concrete. Like with all chemicals, we strongly recommend to do a test area first, if there are concerns.

    Q
    I used too much Demand cs by accident...
    I read a chart to use 2 tsp which I think is wrong or I should've used half as much in a 1/2 gallon sprayer
    A

    Demand CS should be mixed at 0.2 to 0.8 oz/6 to 24 ml per gallon of water which equates to 1.2 to 4.8 tsps per gallon of water. You may view the full product label here for more information and complete application instructions.

    Q
    I mopped the area where Demand CS was sprayed with water even before its dry.
    Could it have caused any contamination?
    A
    If you mopped over the treated area while it was wet or dry you will need to reapply the Demand CS. Demand CS is water based so you will need to rinse your mop with large amounts of water to rinse off  any product that may have been mopped up.

    Q
    Spraying for bedbugs today, the exterminator sprayed my mattress seams and inside the mattress. Is this okay?
    Noting a hole in the side of the mattress where the handles had ripped the fabric, he stuck his sprayer in and gave the interior a pump. Are there any possible health risks associated with sleeping on this mattress now or long-term, and if so what are they? He was careful to ask me to remove all bedding and pillows. (It is a very small apartment, and temporarily it is not well ventilated as the building exterior is being painted. I can maybe stay with friends for a few days if you think that's wise.)
    A
    Demand Cs is not labeled for that use. We recommend using it as a crack and crevice treatment. Please contact the manufacturer Syngenta at 866-796-4368 for further advisement.

    Q
    What is better to use to control sewer bug problem outside around house, Demand CS or Suspend SC?
    I have been noticing sewer bugs (water bugs...EEEWWW) outside my house on the side walk or driveway when it is real humid out (1 -a few weeks ago & 1 -this morning) and I am worried they are going to come in my house. I was reading up on the different pesticides you have and all the reviews & I am not sure which one to get between Demand CS or Suspend SC. They both seem really good from the reviews but I wanted your opinion on what you think might work best.
    A
    Both products have an active ingredient that is classified as a synthetic pyrethroid, so they really are very similar in the way that they work.  Suspend SC contains the active ingredient deltamethrin and is a bit more versatile when it comes to some pest treatments. Demand CS contains the active ingredient lambda-cyhalothrin, and it is micro encapsulated which will make it last a little bit longer in outdoor applications so would be the better product for you in your situation.

    Q
    Does the Demand CS help to keep ladybugs from infesting a camper?
    Every year ladybugs infest our camper. We purchased a new camper and do not want them to infest it.
    A
    Yes, the Demand CS would be a great option to use around any entry points on your camper to keep both ladybugs and a large variety of other insects out. You will want to spray once a month through at least November to make sure they are not getting in to overwinter.

    Q
    What to use for Scorpion problem close to a swimming pool?
    I have a scorpion problem in my backyard, and am concerned that the pesticides I use may runoff into my swimming pool and make the pool unhealthy to swim in. There is only about three feet between the pool and the exterior wall of the house in places, and on the opposite side of the pool there is an elevated flower garden secured with stacked bricks that may see runoff into the pool, as well. How concerned do I need to be about something like Demand CS or CyKick running off into the swimming pool?
    A
    Demand would be a great product to use in the areas you specified. Your are not spraying the water directly and only spraying around the plants, cracks and crevices. Run Off is not an issue as long the treated area is allowed to dry before rain. Such a small amount tof active ingredient is left after dilution. Only enough to harm small insects. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

    Q
    Can I use Demand CS in Canada on private property without a license?
    A
    Unfortunately, we are not familiar with Canadian law regarding the use of commercial pesticides like Demand CS by homeowners without a pest control license. Although, we do know that here in the United States, homeowners are able to use commercial grade insectides on their own property. Please be sure to check with your local government regarding regulations and/or restrictions.

    Q
    Looking for a general purpose outdoor spray to keep insects out of the house like spiders, ants, millipedes,
    And anything else with 6,8 legs and,or wings
    A
    Demand CS would be a great choice for general pest control. It will hold up well to UV rays and rain and because it is a micro-encapsulated it works a little bit like a time released formula.  Of course it will only kills those pests that contacted a treated surface so flying insects will always be a little bit harder to kill versus the crawling ones but Demand will take care of just about anything!
