Demand CS is safe to applied indoors when applied as a crack and crevice applciation and following the label instructions. We recommened that women who are pregnant refrain from being in the area when treating and to wait until the product has had time to dry before re-entering. For any specific concerns, please contact your doctor and/or the manufacturer Syngenta at 1-866-796-4368.
Demand CS can be applied indoors to cracks and crevices and other locations listed on the product label.
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.
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.
Demand CS is not a selective insecticide and it will kill most insects that come into contact with the treated area, including bees. Depending on what you are treating for, you may be able to use a product like Mavrik Perimeter for outdoor pests, which is non-repellent and non-toxic to honeybees after it has dried. You will want to read the product label to see if this fits your needs.
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.
When used as directed on the product label, Demand CS is safe to use outdoors in areas where birds frequent. Be sure the birds are out of the area when the Demand is being applied and try to keep the birds away until the area is dry.
Demand CS is not a systemic. As in, it will not leach into soil. It does not leach into soil like Imidicloprid products.
