Demand G Granules is not a systemic product. It is labeled to treat spider mites and mites in general for turf, but it would not treat these pests on the trees, shrubs, etc. since it must be watered in to be activated. Unfortunately, there are no systemic products that will treat for spider mites: you must do a topical treatment for this pest. Our most popular product to treat spider mites on trees and other ornamentals is Talstar P. If you have an aggressive or well-established population, and you need multiple treatments, then you will want to rotate with another type of product such as Avid Miticide.

Granules such as Demand G Granules generally are not labeled to control spiders such as wolf spiders, so we would not recommend this as a direct treatment for spiders. Granules are applied to the lawn and landscape areas and then watered in, so most of the active ingredient is down in near or in the thatch and soil where spiders won't really contact it. This can certainly help to control some of the insects that the spiders may be hunting, however it is not likely to affect spiders that have already made their homes on or in the structure. We would suggest a liquid concentrate for use around the perimeter of the structure and in areas where spiders are likely to gather, such as Suspend Polyzone. Polyzone has a unique polymer formulation that protects the active ingredient from weathering and keeps it accessible to target pests on porous surfaces.
