    Q
    The best insecticide to kill pine bark bettles?
    I submitted another question earlier, so this is a 2nd question. I have pine bark beetles from time to time. I have been spraying the trunk of the tree with Permethrin 36.5% as high as my sprayer goes - maybe 12-15 ft saturating the tree. Is this effective. (I just ordered another 32 oz bottle along with my Demand Cs order) Is this the best I can do?
    A
    The best product for pine bark beetles is the Permethrin spray you have been using. The biggest key with this insect is timing to ensure the infestation doesn't get out of hand. Once the tree is infested there isnt much you can do other than chop down the tree and burn it to try and prevent the current live ones from getting into any neighboring trees.

    Q
    Can I use Demand Cs as a general out/inside spray?
    I have been using Demand CS and mixing it with demon WP (9.5 gram packet) and .5 oz of Precor about 3 times annually. I spray all around the outside base of the house and the eves to create a 'barrier'. Hardly ever inside. It seems to work as I see practically no pests - ever. But am I over-killing here?
    A
    You can not mix Demand CS and Demon WP together as they are both pyrethroids and will likely decrease the effectiveness of each other. Just use one or the other for spraying around your home and you can alternate the products every other spray if you would like. Using 1/2 ounce of Precor is neither a proper dosage to use, nor does it affect any insect other than fleas. If you are wanting to use an IGR to control the reproduction of other insects you would need something like NyGuard IGR as this will cover a large range of insects and last up to 5 months where as the Precor when used at the proper 1 ounce dose will only last 14 days. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

  • Asked by Mandy from Michigan

    Q
    I have Demand CS, how much should I use to kill the tiny black jumping spiders?
    I have used this spray already a few weeks ago, yet I still see the tiny jumping spiders crawling on areas where I sprayed. The spray definitely works on regular house spiders. What should I do?
    A
    Demand CS is a great choice for spider control, but it will take some time for death to occur. For clean out or severe infestions of spiders, including those black jumping spiders, you would want to mix 0.8 fluid oz (24 mL) of Demand CS per gallon of water. Be sure to spray the outside perimeter of your home, spraying 2 to 3 feet up the side of the house and 2-3 feet out on the ground. Also make sure to spray all of your baseboards, any cracks or crevices, window frames and door frames both interior and exterior, or any other place where spiders could gain entry into your home.

    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 the concentration of Demand CS for Stink bugs; they are NOT on the label.
    A
    Stinkbugs are not on many product labels because to add them to the label of an existing product Such as Demand CS would cost the manufacturer hundreds of thousands of dollars and force them to go through the re-registration process with the EPA. We recommend you use the higher usage rate for this hardy pest 0.8 fl. oz. (24 mL) per gallon of water for best results.

  • Asked by Leigh from Jackson, Al
    03/20/2013
    Q
    Recommend a chemical for indoors and outdoors, preferably micro-encapsulated.
    The trend in pest control seems to be exterior-only treatments. That sounds like a great way to cut down on the amount of chemicals inside the home. Do you know which chemicals are being used or could you recommend one? I'm leaning toward a microencapsulated type such as Demand CS. Will it hold up well outdoors and keep the bugs out? Thanks.
    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.

    Q
    What will help with stink bugs in an attic?
    Can you use demand cs in attics were stink bugs are bad .I think they like going under insulation.If I spraying the insulation will it work to kill stink bugs ??? Thanks
    A
    You can use Demand CS is in the attic to help control the stinkbugs. Only the stinkbugs that come in contact with treated areas will be killed. We mention this because many of these pests will remain hidden and will not come out until it really starts to warm up so you may have pretty mixed results.
