Drione Dust should only be applied to cracks and crevices in areas where it will remain undisturbed. It should not be used in open living areas, or in areas accessable to people or pets. Mopping over areas where Demand CS has been applied can remove the residual the product leaves behind once dry.

Demand CS would only be recommended for outdoor control of fleas. It is not labeled for indoor flea control. You would use 0.4 fl oz per gallon of water for outdoor flea control. For indoor flea control, Onslaught would be the better option. We do also recommend using an insect growth regulator such as Nyguard inside and out. We have a great flea control guide here with more information.
Demand CS should be applied when there is no rain the forecast for 24 hours after application. The outdoor residual of the product is up to 30 days. Heavy or prolonged rains can diminish that residual slightly.
Demand CS can be applied to the lawn. Dusting is the most effective way to treat yellow jackets and ground nests, using Tempo 1% Dust or Delta Dust and applying directly to the holes with a bellow hand duster. You will want to treat in the evening time when they are least active. Please review our DIY Treatment Guide for Wasps, Yellow Jackets and Hornets for more information.

CB PCO Fogger with Pyrethrins will kill spiders, but only the spiders that are exposed at the time the fogger is released.
For indoor use, instead of fogging we recommend spraying a residual insecticide such as Demand CS into the cracks and crevices around door and window frames, baseboards, under appliances and in places where cables, pipes and wires enter through the walls.
You can also use Demand CS to spray around the exterior on the foundation, door and window frames, around places where cables, pipes and wires enter into the structure and any other crack, crevice or hole where insects can gain entry. By using the residual insecticide inside and outside you will be eliminating hidden spiders that come out to hunt and also the insects that they are there to prey on. By eliminating the spiders' food source, you will be forcing the spiders to move out and you will be making the structures less desirable to other spiders looking for new hunting grounds. See our Spider Control Guide for more information about controlling spiders.
Demand CS has a shelf life of about 3 to 5 years when stored in a cool dry area.
Both are great options really and can last up to 90 days outside. Demand CS may have a faster kill than the Suspend Polyzone.

Temprid FX combines the fast-acting power of beta-cyfluthrin 10.5% and the transferal power of imidacloprid 21% (two powerful active ingredients). Demand CS containing lambda-Cyhalothrin 9.7% is a product that has micro-encapsulated technology, which means it leaves thousands of micro particles that bind to the surface offering long-term protection and fast insect knock-down. Both of these great insecticides can be used on a large variety of insects in many settings.
No, Demand CS is not a restricted-use product. Please note that we cannot ship it into the following states due to individual state laws: NY.
Demand CS is said to be odorless, but for added safety, we would recommend using the N95 Valved Respiratory Mask. That said, if you have specific health concerns, it is always recommended to consult your doctor before applying this or any other product.
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 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.

Demand CS is not labeled for fungus gnats. Fungus gnats are present due to overwatering of the plants, so by allowing the soil to properly drain and dry completely, the fungus gnats will eventually die out. You may consider using a systemic insecticide such as Bonide Systemic Granules incorporated into the soil of containerized plants to target the fungus gnat larvae. You can also apply a residual insecticide spray such as Talstar P over the top of the soil of infested plants.
An insecticide such as Demand CS can be used to prevent infestations of bark beetles such as pine bark beetles, however usually this treatment is not effective once trees are already infested. You want to spray down the trunks of nearby trees to protect them from infestation. You may need to consult a local arborist if you are unsure whether the trees can be saved. You can usually trim and destroy infested branches, however keep in mind that this pest will usually infest trees that are already weak from some other existing issue (disease, drought, etc.).
Mixing Demand CS with Mosquito Barrier would not be beneficial. You want the mosquitoes to land on the Demand and pick up what is there. If you were to mix the two, the Mosquito Barrier would act as a barrier and would prevent the insects from landing where you have sprayed the Demand CS. You can mix Archer IGR with Demand CS or with EcoVia EC or Essentria IC3. You could also mix a low rate of the EcoVia or Essentria with Demand CS for faster initial knockdown.
