    Q
    How often can Demand G Granules be applied?
    I'm dealing with a Springtail problem and have been using Demand G to help treat it. While it has helped, I'm still seeing a decent amount of them. How frequently can I re-apply the granules? Ideally I'd like to do a general lawn treatment once a month from April-August and then perhaps do perimeter treatments on a slightly more frequent basis (every 2 weeks). Is that acceptable, or too much?
    A

    Demand G works through a slow-release process, providing continuous control over a period of 4 to 8 weeks. The key to eliminating a springtail population is correcting the moisture issue in or around the home as well as using insecticide products. Please take a look at our guide on How to Get Rid of Springtails for detailed information on treatment.

    Q
    Is Demand G Granules helpful in eliminating a springtail infestation?
    I have springtails nesting in the yard around the house and in the dry months they enter the house through an upstairs bathroom.
    A

    Yes, Demand G Granules will be very helpful in getting rid of a springtail infestation. First and foremost we recommend addressing any moisture issues in and around your home as springtails tend to nest in areas where there is excess moisture. In conjunction with Demand G, it would be a good idea to use Bifen IT as an indoor crack and crevice treatment and a barrier treatment around the foundation of your home.

    Q
    What can I use to get springtails out of the pool?
    My pool is infested with springtails is there anything I can use to kill them off
    A

    Springtails are attracted to the pool for the moisture and there is not anything we carry that can be used in the pool for them.  You can use Demand granules or Deltagard granules around the perimeter of your pool to help eliminate this pest before they make into the water. You can spread the granules in a 5 ft - 10 ft band in the soil/grass around the pool. You want will want to use 2-3 lbs per 1,000 sq ft  for best results.  Springtails can be hard to control because they reproduce very quickly, and they thrive in damp, humid areas. You should remove as much mulch, leaf debris and other yard debris as possible to help eliminate harborage areas in your yard.

    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
    Can you use Demand G Granules on ground covers, mulch and/or barks?
    I have springtail problems and they are making their way inside my home from the outside. I think it may be due to overwatering. I have turned off my irrigation system since then to dry off the moisture. The parameter of my home where I'm looking sprinkle these granules consist of ground covers, mulch and red barks. Can Demand G Granules be used on these?
    A
    Demand G Granules can be applied to ground covers. The idea is that you are treating and making contact with the springtails where ever they may be. If they are under the ground cover, you  may want to take the ground cover up and an apply.

    06/25/2018
    Q
    Will Demand G help rid us of springtails?
    If we use demand G along with with Suspend poly mixed with ExcitR for a springtails infestation around the entire home. They are getting in through windows how long should it take to see a longer term reduction? When should we reapply if it does not work?
    A

    Spring tails can be tough to eliminate because they reproduce very quickly. In almost every case where people have spring tails they also have a moisture problem such as a leaking or sweating pipe, poor ventilation in their crawl space, lots of wet mulch right up next to their house, etc. You must locate and correct the moisture problem to get rid of the spring tails, insecticides alone will not do the job.Using products such as Demand G Granules,  Suspend Polyzone and ExciteR  can help you to reduce the numbers of springtails until the mositure problem is fixed.

  • 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.

    Q
    Use of this product near / around my garden.
    This looks like the product to solve all my problems. Specifically, we battle ants, European crane flies, and springtails. Our garden and produce starts where our lawn stops. Is this safe to use in and around our garden? If it is not garden safe, how close is reasonable to get to the garden with this product? Would you recommend a different product? Thank you.
    A
    Demand G Granules can be used in your lawn and garden. However, if your garden has edibles, Demand Granules should NOT be applied to it. The product can be used outside of the drip line. We would recommend not using Demand G within 2-3 feet of your edibles if you have them. Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

  • 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.
