Onslaught Fast Cap would be a great alternative to rotate treatments with Demand CS.
There is such a small amount of the active ingredient in Demand CS that actually gets on the bugs before they die that it will not affect any animals that consume the dead bugs
Demand CS leaves a 90 day residual once the application has dreid for general pest control treatments.When mopping or cleaning area, this can remove any residual and retreatment would be necessary for best results.
When using Demand CS it can take minutes to hours to kill carpenter bees. The active ingredient needs time to work through the follicle of the insect to the central nervous system. You can spray surfaces they would land on to help prevent new holes, and treat inside existing holes for larvae with dusts like Delta Dust. You can also review the bet methods for treating carpenter bees in our Carpenter Bee Control Guide.
Demand CS should not be applied to entire kitchen or bathroom floors, so we are not completely sure what type of cleaning can be done to keep the product from leaving behind a residual after it has already dried. You can try cleaning the floors with warm soap and water but again, we cannot guarantee this will work. If you would like a clear answer, we recommend contacting the manufacturer, Syngenta at (1-866-796-4368).
Demand CS can be applied with the use of a "coarse, low-pressure spray," according to the product label. This would allow you to control the application so there is no runoff, pooling, dripping, etc. Most smaller volume sprayers will have up to about 40 PSI, so you usually would not use much more than that.
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.
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.).
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.

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 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.
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.
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.
It is not usually required to use a surfactant with Demand CS.
According to the Demand CS product label, delay watering or mowing for 12–24 hours for optimum control of surface-feeding insect pests.
