  • Asked by Ed from Houston, Tx
    06/12/2017
    Q
    How does Demand G differ from Merit Granules?
    A

    Demand G, which contains Lambda Cyhalothrin, focuses more on structural pests like ants, millipedes, earwigs, etc. with a little control on your turf damaging pests like grubs, billbugs, mole crickets. Whereas Merit Granules contains Imidacloprid and focuses primarily on insects that feed directly on your lawn and would be doing the most damage to the plants and turf in the yard like grubs, chinch bugs, mole crickets, etc.

    Q
    How can I rid my lawn of oriental roaches? My yard is Saint Augustine grass and is very healthy.
    The roaches appear when I water the grass.
    A
    Outdoor roach control can be tough because the moist conditions in your yard will always attract more roaches from surrounding areas. You can apply a granular insecticide to help limit the amount of roaches in yard. Demand Granules will work well for this use and are safe for you to apply to your lawn.

  • Asked by John from Delray Beach
    06/23/2016
    Q
    Will the Demand G Granules get rid of Milipedes?
    I live in Delray Beach, Florida. Its just North of Boca Raton, Florida. For the last 3 years I have been invaded by Milipedes. I use Ortho Home Defense, however, it does not seem to phase much. How can I get rid of these bugs?
    A

    Demand G is labeled for millipede control and will help you limit their numbers greatly. According to the Demand G product label: "For optimal control, remove debris and leaf litter from next to the foundation, cut back vegetation and branches that touch the foundation, and move or rake back rocks, deep mulch, or other potential pest harborage areas next to the foundation prior to application". You should not rely solely on chemical control. There are ways to modify the environment immediately around your home to discourage insects from moving in. Please take a few moments to read our article How to Get Rid of Millipedes to learn how to make your property less desirable to this pest.

    Q
    Is Demand G Granules safe for grazing goats? And does it kill fleas?
    A

    Demand G is not labeled to be used in areas that animals graze but is labeled for fleas.  Essentria All Purpose is labeled for pastures and range lands.  Animals should be out of the area during treatment until dry.  Typically a few hours is best.

  • Asked by Bob from New Jersey
    08/27/2015
    Q
    What would be the proper setting for Demand G Granules with a Scotts 3000 broadcast and drop spreader?
    I just want to control some lawn bugs and moths in the lawn and around the foundation where there are pavers.
    A

    <span font-size:13.3333330154419px"="">Demand G has an application rate of 2-3 lbs product per 1000 square feet.  So if you can figure out what your walking speed is then you know anytime you apply any product that calls for so much of it per 1000 square feet, you always set your spreader on this setting.  You can calibrate this by marking off a 1000 square foot (10 x 100) area and placing 4 ounces of any type of product of similar granule size, or of the extinguish in the spreader.  Start with a low setting and start walking your marked off area at a normal pace.  You can adjust as you go and find the basic setting for you to apply the product over a 1000 square feet.

    Q
    Does Bifen Granules work on spittlebugs? If so, do you water it in?
    A
    Bifen Granules is not labeled for spittlebugs. We would recommend using Demand G Granules. It is labeled for spittlebugs, as well as various other pests. You will use 2-3 lbs per 1000 sq. ft. when the grass is dry. For best results, water the lawn lightly to dissolve granules. Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

    Q
    Does this work on Texas leaf cutter ants?
    A

    Demand G is not labeled for leaf cutter ants. Please take a look at DeltaGard G Granules main professional grade granule that we carry that is labeled for leaf cutter ants.  This would be your best option for taking care of leaf cutter ants.

    Q
    Will Demand G Granules get rid of big black ants?
    I have a big black ant hill inside some railroad ties on dirt in my backyard. Nothing has helped and I'm wondering if I can put this directly around the ant hill and it'll kill them?
    A

    Demand G Granules is labeled for ants and can be applied directly to areas and ant hils at 1 to 2 teaspoons per mound then lightly water in. Apply lightly to avoid disturbing the ants. View the product label for more information. 

    An alternative option for faster kill and longer residual is Talstar XTRA Granules. This can be applied as mound treatments or broadcast applications. Please view the full product label for more information. View the full product label for more information.

    Q
    Can the Demand G Granules be mixed with water to make a liquid sprayable version?
    I have areas under a deck that I want to spread it, but I cannot get under there to put granules but could use a pump sprayer.
    A

    While you would not be able to turn the Demand G into a liquid spray since this is not a water-soluble granule. You can use Demand CS which is the liquid concentrate version with the same active ingredient.

  • Asked by Linda from Chicago, Illinois

    Q
    I have a large amount of springtails on my wooden deck. They are everywhere, on the floor top of the railings.
    I sprayed the deck with Bifen I/T and the springtails were back in a day. So then I sprayed with Taurus SC and the same thing. Would putting these granules between the deck boards onto the dirt below help? There isn't any access from the side of the deck, it's been closed off with wood siding to keep the chipmunks, etc. out. There is a 5' wide concrete walkway around 2 sides of the deck. The other 2 sides of the deck are against the house. What can I spray to keep them off the top of the rails and ceiling on the deck floor?
    A
    Demand G Granules can be applied to the lawn as directed. Bifen IT can be applied around the structure including windows, door frames, cracks, and crevices. We would recommend exclusion and reduction of moisture/water on the property. They are attracted to moisture/water sources. Here is a great article on springtails. The products just help with relief but it is essential to address the moisture in and around the structure. If they are under the deck, you will want to inspect and address that space.

    Q
    Is Demand G safe for pollinators? Will it hurt the bees?
    A

    Demand G Granules are safe for pollinators as long as they do not come in direct contact with them while applying. We recommend applying when they are not actively foraging & once dry they will be safe for them again.

  • Asked by David from Bartlett, Tn
    03/23/2021
    Q
    Question about Demand G Granules resistance
    The Demand G label says that to avoid insects growing a resistance to the product I should rotate Demand G with products with different modes of action and avoid treatment of successive generations with Demand G Insecticide. How long can I use Demand G before rotating with another product? How long would I be using the product before interacting with a successive generation? I don't want to create pesticide resistant insects. I was going to order another bag for this spring/summer, but now I'm not sure if I should and go with a different granule product that kills springtails? Currently I apply demand G granules outside every 2 months between February and August.
    A

    Typically as long as you are not under/over applying or incorrectly applying an insecticide, resistance is highly unlikely and would take long periods of incorrect applications to occur.  If you have not started to see signs of the Demand G Granules efficacy reduce or be ineffective, you could continue to use it. Should you wish to rotate to a different granule insecticide, DeltaGard Granules would be a great choice.

  • Asked by Chel from Kansas City, Mo
    06/20/2021
    Q
    Can I use Demand G Granules after I already sprayed Cy-Kick CS for springtails?
    A
    The Demand G granules could be applied outside the zone in which you applied the Cy Kick CS if you are trying to use them at the same time around the home and yard. You would not want to have the two products overlap in the same treatment areas. You can however apply the Demand G Granules in the areas you applied the Cy Kick CS, if you wait at least 30 days from the initial application to allow some of the Cy Kick to have time to break down.

  • Asked by Fred from San Jose, Ca
    07/01/2021
    Q
    Do we have to remove wood chips and weed preventing cover before applying Demand G Granules?
    We believe springtails live in the soil under the cover for preventing weeds. On top of the cover, there are wood chips. Since it is a large part of our back yard, it is very difficult to remove the cover and wood chips. Also, do we need a spreader to apply Demand G granules? It does not rain except for a very short raining season (winter) here in San Jose, CA. Do we need to water after Demand G is applied?
    A

    When using Demand G Granules around wood chips it would be ideal to remove them apply them to the soil and also over the wood chips. If this cannot not be done just make sure to use enough water to get the product down under the wood chips. This product is used in a spreader and does need to be watered in. Please refer to the label for complete applications instructions.

  • Asked by Chris from Fuquay Varina, Nc
    07/25/2021
    Q
    Water activates Demand G Granules, but what if it gets wet again later?
    So I water to activate and then wait to dry. What if it rains a week later after I already watered? Do I have to wait for it to dry every time it rains? My lawn is naturally moist all the time so I'm also worried about my kids running around barefoot out there.
    A

    Once Demand G Granules have been watered in after the initial application, and dried completely, it will not be reactivated by rain making it unsafe for your children to be on the lawn.
