Control for Carpenter Bees
By Shawn on 04/21/2023
I used Avesta CS Insecticide to help control carpenter bees. The product works great! The bees have stopped coming to their existing holes and have not created new ones. I did also use Tempo 1% Dust to inject into the existing nests. The combination is a great one-two punch to prevent carpenter bees from continuing to nest and cause damage. After soaking the wood with Avesta CS Insecticide, I dusted the nests with Tempo 1% 12 to 24 hours later. 24 hours following the dusting, I then filled the holes with premium exterior wood filler. You can purchase cork or rubber plugs to fill the holes as well. The key is to make sure the bees are gone before filling the holes; otherwise, they'll either drill their way out through the existing filled hole or just create a new one. The combination of Avesta and Tempo work great together.

Affordable alternative to Demand CS
By Ian on 05/02/2023
Had my own pest control company for a few years and Demand CS was my favorite repellent, the only downside was it's cost was significant compared to other products. We tried a couple of generic variants and they both had a strong odor and would agitate your lungs even with a N95 respirator. I sold the company a while back and still treat my home and the homes of a couple family members, I was going to order some Demand but saw Avesta with the same active ingredient and decided to order an 8 oz bottle to try. The product works fantastic and while it does have more of an odor than some other pesticides, it's actually a fairly pleasant one and does not cause any irritation. Fantastic product for personal or commercial use.

works as well as Demand CS

Doesn't work as well as Demand CS or Cyzmic CS
By Kurt on 09/06/2024
I know it's supposed to be essentially the same as Demand CS or Cyzmic CS but the results have not been the same for us. I can spray Demand CS and mosquitos in our yard are gone for at least a month. When I spray Avesta CS, there will still be a swarm around each person in the yard, within minutes, within a few days.

While Avesta CS Insecticide has the same active ingredient as the Demand CS, they are made by different companies. The manufacturers have done tests on certain insects and the manufacturer may not have tested Avesta for stink bugs.

For best results, we recommend applying Avesta CS Insecticide when there is no rain expected in the forecast for at least 24 hours, however, as long as the product has had time to completely dry before any rain occurs, the product should still be effective. Please be sure to review the product label for more information and complete application instructions.
