Yes, Nyguard IGR and Demand CS can be mixed and used together. You will use 0.2-0.8 oz. of Demand and 4-12 mL of Nyguard per gallon of water, depending on what pest(s) you are treating for. Typically one gallon of mixed solution will cover about 1000 sq. ft.
Keep in mind that Demand CS and other pyrethroids should not be sprayed over the entire surface of a deck or other hard surface. Keep to perimeter treatments and spot treatments where target insects are found.
If you plan to clean an area where you are going to spray a residual insecticide such as Demand CS, then it would be best to do your cleaning first and then apply the insecticide. This will not only ensure that you are spraying on the actual suface (rather than on top of dust/debris), but it will also prevent unecessary removal of your insecticide. Mopping or other abrasive cleaning will remove most if not all of your residual, so do these treatments before spraying for best results.
Keep in mind that Demand CS and other pyrethroids should not be sprayed over the entire surface of a deck or other hard surface. Keep to perimeter treatments and spot treatments where target insects are found.
Demand CS can be applied indoors to cracks and crevices and other locations listed on the product label.
Demand CS dries clear when used as directed and will not stain.
Demand CS is not labeled for grubs but we do offer products that are effective. Demand CS is listed for flying and crawling insects. Please take a few moments to review our article on How to Get Rid of Grubs for the best results. You would treat the flying and crawling insects with either Demand CS or Talstar P. Talstar P is not labeled for grubs also.
When applying ImidaPro 2SC for grub control, it is important to use sufficient water when applying to move the active ingredient through the thatch layer of grass into the soil where the insects will be or are feeding as soon as possible. This is usually an extra 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch of rainfall or irrigation with the application. As long as you do not have excessive rainfall while the application is still wet, and/or the ground is not saturated, then you should have residual activity for several weeks following the application.
To control White grub larvae, (such as Japanese beetle larvae, Chafers, Phyllophaga spp., Asiatic garden beetle, Oriental beetle) apply 0.46 to 0.6 fluid ounces (14 to 17 mL) per 1,000 sq. ft. Make broadcast applications by mixing specified rate in enough water to uniformly cover the treated area. Do not use less than 2 gallons of water per 1,000 sq. ft. Please refer to the product label for complete application instructions.
Demand CS should be applied when pets are not present and completely dry prior to their return to those treated areas. The product will not reactivate after that to be harmful to them.
Both Talstar P and Demand CS are labeled for a wide variety of insect pests and either would work well for general pest control. However, if spiders are a concern, or if you will be treating mainly outdoors, it would be better to choose a microencapsulated insecticide such as Demand CS. Microencapsulated products will hold up better outdoors, and their larger particle size makes them easier for larger insects like spiders and scorpions to pick up on their bodies.
Yes, you can mix Demand CS and an IGR such as Gentrol in the same tank at the same time. You would clean your equipment with water and a tank cleaner, if needed.
There is only Demand CS, we are not aware of a Demand SC product. One of our roach control kits would be more recommended for roach control. These professional kits includes non-staining, low odor concentrated insecticide for spraying the outside perimeter of the home and inside underneath appliances, behind cabinets, under toilets and sinks, etc. You'll also get Roach Bait Gel to help get rid of those roaches that like to hide. Baits can be applied up high in the kitchen in the corner of cabinets and in cracks and crevices in kitchens and bathrooms. The bait contains a slow-acting poison that attracts and kills feeding roaches, who also spread the bait to other roaches by contact or by sharing food. Finally, an Insect Growth Regulator is offered which will stop roaches from laying eggs, helping to halt the infestation. The combination of an IGR with roach bait is a highly effective roach control strategy that is widely used by pest control professionals. The insecticide must be applied with a 1 gallon pump sprayer.

Demand CS would be a great choice for brown recluse spider control as well as general insect control. Brown Recluse spiders are very scary to have in your house, but they are no harder to get rid of than any other spider. The hardest part of getting rid of the brown recluse is finding them since they like to remain hidden. Demand CS would be a great choice for indoor and outdoor spider control. Spraying Demand CS will also help to get rid of the other insects (silverfish, sow bugs aka rollie pollies and millipedes) that spiders feed on and that will help to stop new spiders from moving inside. Indoors, spray around all baseboards, door frames, window frames, under appliances, in closets and storage rooms and in areas where utilities enter into the structure. Outdoors you should spray around the bottom of the foundation, on the ground adjacent to the foundation, door frames, window frames and places where the utilities enter into the structure.
When using Demand CS it can take minutes to hours to kill stink bugs. The active ingredient needs time to work through the follicle of the insect to the central nervous system.
Yes, Demand CS is applied to lawns at the rate of 7ml per 1,000 sq ft. Treatments for chiggers should begin in May and could need to continue through the summer as new chiggers move into the area. Treating the entire lawn is of little benefit because chiggers avoid direct sunlight and normally will not infest areas that are mowed or otherwise well maintained. Focus treatment on the unkempt areas of the lawn and lawn edge. You can also use Demand CS to do a barrier treatment around the outside of your home and in your crawl space to stop pests from moving indoors.
Demand CS is labeld for Pine Shoot Beetles and to be mixed at 1.5-5 fl oz/ 100 gallons of water. Please refer to the product label for complete application instructions and consult your local cooperative extension office for specific application timing in your area.
No, it is not recommended that you mix two insecticides together. This would essentially be doubling up on the product and may cause the adverse effect.
A good option would be to use PT Alpine Pressurized Fly Bait in the area where you are having an issue. Apply inside all garbage receptacles, underneath garbage lids, inside recycling bins or receptacles, and other labeled areas that will help prevent flies from being a nuisance.
You should use diluted solution of Demand CS or other insecticide concentrates as soon as possible and within 24 hours. After this time, the active ingredient breaks down quickly in solution. Shelf life of the concentrate is 3-5 years when stored in a temperate environment out of direct sunlight.
When using Demand CS to treat Japanese Beetles, the mix rates vary depending if you are treating the lawn or ornamentals. Please refer to the product label for application instructions.
Lawn Mix Rates: 3.4 - 7ml (0.1 to 0.2 fl oz) per 1,000 square feet / 5-10 fl per acre
Ornamental Rates: 0.4 - 1.3ml (1.5 to 5fl oz) used in 25 gallons of water.
For spot treatments, use 0.5 fl oz Demand CS Insecticide per 1–2 1/2 gal of water.
Since water is acting as the carrier, each treatment and the amount of water that will be used is specific to the individual treatment. Please take a moment to review our How to use the Chapin Wet or Dry Hose End Sprayer Video for tips on how to set the dial for this sprayer.
Demand CS should not be applied to edible vegetation. Please take a look at our selection of Edible Gardening products to find a product that will work for your needs.
Demand CS is labeled for flies. Please take a few moments to review our treatment article on How to Get Rid of Flies for additional information on a successful eradication program.
