Demand Duo Insecticide has a residual up to 90 days to kill those insects that contact a treated area. Per the product label for Carpet Beetles: Apply as a spot or crack-and-crevice treatment to cupboards, shelving, and storage areas. Remove all utensils, uncovered foodstuffs (or any having original package opened), and shelf paper before making application. Allow treated surfaces to dry and cover shelves with clean paper before replacing any utensils, foodstuff, or other items. Any foodstuff accidentally contaminated with treatment solution should be destroyed. Please also review our Carpet Beetle guide for effective elimination.
Demand Duo is only available in the 1.1 oz bottle, which is enough to make 1 gallon of finished solution.
Tandem Insecticide would be an alternative using the same 2 active ingrdients thiamethoxam and lambda-cyhalothrin. This is available in a 32 oz and 64 oz bottle. Please view the product label for more information.Since Demand Duo already contains active ingredients from 2 different classes, Group 3A (Lambda-cyhalothrin) and Group 4A (Thiamethoxam), tank mixing Bifenthrin (Group 3) would not be recommended as it has the same mode of action as the Lambda cyhalothrin.
Please view the product label for more information.
Per the label, Demand Duo is labeled for use on furniture. However we would suggest not using it where there will be constant skin contact. Please see the label for complete application instructions.
If you are seeing active German Roaches in your apartment, spraying an insecticide alone will not eliminate them or provide a barrier to keep them out. German Roach populations grow quickly and in large numbers therefore it is recommended to use a combination of products to treat. It is best to use a non repellent residual insecticide that will transfer by contact, roach bait gel that will transfer as roaches share the bait with the colony and insect growth regulator that will help stop the growth cylce of roaches. Repeat treatments will need to be done every 14 days and can take multiple treatments depending on the size of the roach population. Respray and replace bait placements every 14 days along with proper sanitation and cleaning practices.
A common myth is that using roach bait will attract more roaches, this is not the case. Majority of the roach population is hiding behind wall voids, cabinets, and other inaccessible areas. The roaches you are seeing are only a fraction of the population.
We would recommend one of our Roach Control Kits for a complete treatment program to get you started. The kits are set up for a bait rotation program as if after 90 days you are still seeing roach activity, you will want to rotate to a roach bait with different food attractant to prevent any resistance.

An additional treatment that would help would be to dust the wall voids along baseboards with Delta Dust using a bellow hand duster. Dusting along wall voids, around electrical outlets, around windows, doors, etc will help treat insects before they get into your home as they migrate from other units adjacent to yours.
