Per the Demand CS product label rate for mosquitos is 0.8 per gallon of water. You can treat every 30 days outdoors and every 90 days indoors.
Demand CS Insecticide and Bifen should not be mixed together as they would counteract each other. You wouldn't need to apply both in the same month. You could rotate them once a month but not use them together.
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.
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.
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
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.

You should not mix 2 residual insecticides such as Dominion 2L and Demand CS. It is never a good idea to try to mix insecticides unless the label instructions clearly state that you can do so. Mixing insecticides can cause them to not work properly. Also, Dominion 2L amount of water needed to treat is different than Demand CS. Dominion 2L is generally used to treat a pest such as grubs and requires more water to reach the soil, while Demand CS is a surface spray. Choosing when and how to use the products would depend on the ultimate goal of the product.
Generally, Demand CS Insecticide can be washed away with hot soapy water. However, if you get it on edibles they will need to be disposed of & not consumed for a year.
It is recommended that you apply insecticides and herbicides in two different applications. Because you can turn a non-repellent into a repellent when mixing insecticides with other chemicals. We would recommend spraying Demand CS Insecticide by itself.
Demand CS is rainfast after it has dried completely. This is typically in a few hours after it has dried.
ExciteR Insecticide would be the best choice to be mixed with other insecticides such as Demand CS Insecticide. Residual insecticides do not kill on contact, instead, they area bit more slow-acting. So you can use a synergist such as Exciter to kill anything it comes in contact with. Exciter leaves no residual so it needs to be mixed with a residual insecticide. It is labeled for a variety of flying insects such as mosquitoes & flies. It can be sprayed more often than residual insecticides since it has no residual. Products such as Demand or Talstar should only be sprayed every 3-4 weeks due to their long-lasting residual while Exciter can be sprayed more frequently (if needed).
No, Demand CS Insecticide is safe for ornamentals. Just make sure you apply either early morning or late evening before the sun comes up/goes down to avoid heat damage.
Although rotating active ingredients in insecticides is a good general practice, how often you decide to rotate would be at your discretion. You can refer to our helpful and informative Flea Treatment Guide for more details, and for links to related products.
