Both are great options really and can last up to 90 days outside. Demand CS may have a faster kill than the Suspend Polyzone.

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.
Yes, Demand CS can be used indoors for roaches. Please take a moment to look over our Roach Control Guide for more information.
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.

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.
You would dilute 0.2 fl.oz. (6mL) Demand CS into 32oz water.
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 is not a contact kill product, it is a residual product that can take a few days to start killing the carpenter bees. You could incorporate a dust insecticide like Delta Dust. It is water-resistant insecticide dust with the powerful active ingredient Deltamethrin, suitable for most common crawling and flying insect pests. Using insecticide dust directly in existing carpenter bee nests gives you the best chances of getting rid of carpenter bees that are already in the area. You can apply Delta Dust with the B&G Bulb Duster 1150. After this treatment, you can use Trebor Plastic Plugs - 3/8 inch 14 days after spraying and dusting to seal up existing holes. This allows time for the female bees to return to the nest, come into contact with the application, and spread the dust throughout the nest.
While Demand CS could potentially kills squash bugs since it is a non-selective insecticide, you cannot use Demand CS on edible plants like a vegetable garden. We have many other products you could use for squash bugs on edible plants, such as Triple Action or Pyganic Gardening.
