Active Ingredient: Lambda-Cyhalothrin - 9.7%

DESCRIPTION: Demand CS is a microencapsulated water-based formulation offering superior insect control. Compared to older pyrethroid materials that have been used for many years with declining results, it is up to 200 times more active on flies and other animal health pests allowing lower rates. And it’s designed not only to work better, but to work longer. Demand CS controls over 30 insect pests including: Ants, Bees, Carpet Beetles, Centipedes, Cigarette Beetles, Cockroaches, Confused Flour Beetles, Firebrats, Fleas, Ticks, and more.

Demand CS combines an advanced generation pyrethroid with a unique capsule suspension formulation for outstanding protection against numerous perimeter insect pests.

Once the formulation has been applied and dried, lambda-cyhalothrin, the active ingredient, is released from the capsules. Control will occur primarily through direct contact of the insect pest with the capsules, with lambda-cyhalothrin transferring directly from the capsule to the cuticle of the insect. It is also possible for the capsules to be ingested in the case of insect pests which preen themselves such as cockroaches.

USE: Best applied with a 1 gallon sprayer. Apply to outside foundation and all entry points such as around windows, doors, etc. Always read the label completely before use.

Pests Controlled with Demand CS:
• Ants • Aphids • Armyworm • Azalea caterpillar • Bagworm • Bed bugs • Bees • Beetle • Black turfgrass ataenius • Black vine weevil • Bluegrass billbug • Boxelder bugs • Broadmite • Brown soft scale • Budworm • California oakworm • California red scale (crawler) • Cankerworm • Carpenter bees • Carpet beetles • Centipede • Chiggers • Chinch bug • Cigarette beetles • Clover mite • Cluster flies • Cockroaches • Confused flour beetles • Crickets • Cutworm • Earwigs • Eastern tent caterpillar • Elm leaf beetles • European sawfly • Fall webworm • Firebrats • Flea beetle • Fleas • Flies • Forest tent caterpillar • Grasshopper • Grubs • Gypsy moth larvae • Hyperodes weevil • Japanese beetle • June beetle • Lace bugs • Leaf skeletonizer • Leaf-feeding caterpillar • Leafhopper • Leafminer • Leafrollers • Lesser grain borer • Litter beetles • Mealybug • Midges • Millipede • Mites • Mole cricket • Mosquito • Oleander moth larvae • Parasitic Wasp • Pillbug • Pine sawfly • Pine shoot beetle • Pineneedlescale (crawler) • Pinetip moth • Plant bug • Red flour beetles • Rice weevil • Root weevil • Sawfly • Saw-toothed grain beetles • Scale insect (crawler) • Scorpions • Silverfish • Sowbugs • Spider • Spider mite • Spider Mite, (two-spotted spruce) • Spittlebug • Striped flea beetle • Striped oakworm • Termites • Termites, (above ground only) • Thrips • Tick • Tip moth • Tussock moth larvae • Wasps • Webworm, sod • Whiteflies

Excellent product

By Eric on June 9, 2009

We live at the base of the McDowell Mountains in North Scottsdale where crickets, spiders and scorpions are everywhere. I applied Demand CS right before sunset and the following morning it looked like an atomic bomb went off in my yard. Dead crickets, black widow spiders, cockroaches and last but not least the follow evening a slowly dying scorpion in our bedroom that accidentally crossed the wrong path. In nearly three weeks since we applied the product, I have yet to see ONE single cricket, spider, or cockroach. Great product!

Ants, crickets, and roaches no more...

By Gregory on April 15, 2009

We have tried several pest control companies to eradicate our recurring summer sewer roach problem to no avail. When the city treats the sewer drains and manholes, the roaches come into our yard and house. We also live in an area with crickets and tiny black ants. Nothing seemed to stop everything until we tried Demand CS. I read the label carefully and found that the strongest wipe out dose was for scorpions. I carefully measured, mixed, and sprayed the yard, block wall, foundation, windows and doors. The next morning was like a nuclear winter. Dead roaches, ants, and crickets everywhere. Our gardener cleaned them up like leaves. We now use the maintenance dose every three months and have not had a pest in a year. Awesome Stuff!!!

By Steve on September 4, 2008

Bought a neglected house with roaches all over the yard. After spraying 24 gallons of Dursban over a two month period I was still seeing too many roaches to count at night. I put Demand CS down and the next morning had over 60 dead roaches, 30+ more the following day and in 1 month and only 2 applications I'm down to 1 or 2 a day outside (dead) and none inside in a month. I've been outside at 11pm on hot nights and not seen one live roach! This is magic.

Great stuff!!

By Lauren on April 29, 2010

We own a log home and have been plagued by carpenter bees. We have tried several other products: powders, liguids, professional and home store strengths and this is by far the best! It is non staining and easy to apply with a garden pump sprayer. After application, we watched the bees hover a minute and then decide to take up residence somewhere else...those that stuck it out, were dead in the morning. It is almost instantaneous! We also applied it to our barn and found it killed bugs that we didn't even know we had a problem with. Try this product= it works!!!

Demand CS is the best thing I have ever used for the control of bugs indoors. I am in pest control and use this product daily and receive only positive feedback from all the customers. It works extremely well and customers love how it has no odor.

When we moved into our house a few years ago we had a major cockroach problem outside around our jasmine-covered arbor and deck. Since using Demand CS the problem is NON-EXISTENT. I haven't even seen a dead roach in almost 2 years. Absolutely love the product.

Works as advertised

By Tom on April 23, 2009

I bought Demand CS because we get Yellow Sac spiders in our house and I was concerned about the safety of my children. Yellow Sac spiders are an aggressive night hunter which are probably more dangerous than the Brown Recluse. I applied Demand to the outside of the house as a barrier. This stuff is simply amazing. It's like a hand came up and wiped the side of the house of insects. Oh, you'll see a spider, drunkenly, walking around. Keep watching him because he's already dead and doesn't know it. Works completely as advertised with just the slightest hint of an odor when applied and none after it dries. Highly recommended.

I had a problem with crickets and spiders. Within a week after I first applied Demand CS I quit hearing and seeing crickets around my house. I also have noticed that there are not any new spider webs.

This product is the best! I've tried every brand of insecticide from Home Depot and nothing can compare to Demand CS. Within two days of spraying I found 8 dead spiders and 3 crickets in our garage. If you want to control spiders in your home I highly recommend Demand CS.

By Dave on February 7, 2006

Tried Demand CS at recommendation of a neighbor for control of spiders around house, especially exterior window corners. Awesome performance. Also applied under the peaks at the roof gables to see if it would prevent wasps from building nests there. No wasp nests for the first time ever. One application in April 2005 controlled both all year. Will be renewing application this year in March or April. I will be adding some areas to the application including the attic vent louver areas to stop wasp nests, soffitt overhang to stop spiders, under the deck for spiders and some other areas. It may be expensive, but it's great.

Works as advertised.

By Gregbuquerque on October 13, 2009

I moved into a newer home in Albuquerque in late July. Before the grill and patio furniture arrived, I applied Demand CS via a pump sprayer using .6oz/gal and did the perimeter, around the windows, the back deck, etc. It was very good at killing-off the existing colonies of small ants. It also took care of some beetles and spiders. A little bit goes a long way. I was considering the WP product, but preferred something which did not leave a residue. Inside, I used foggers, so I can't comment on that.

		Question about this product? Ask our product experts...

I've heard that Demand CS will stop the fall invasion of the Chinese Beetle into our buildings. Is this true?

Demand CS is labeled for a variety of insects, including the Asian Beetle. The key is to treat early enough (early fall) and to apply the product in the right places. Asian beetles enter the structure through cracks and crevices, especially around windows and doors. Be sure to treat these areas thoroughly, and follow the instructions on the label, which is on the product and on our website. Good Luck!

Is Demand CS safe to use around children and pets?

What's the risk of transfer since Demand CS is capsulated? For instance, we have hardwood floors and we vacuum the floors and the baseboards. Can the insecticide be transferred from the vacuum to another surface (such as when vacuum rugs and couches) and increase the risk of contact?

There should not be any issues with transfer effect like you are speaking of. Once you apply Demand CS, the tiny microscopic balls of insecticide will bond to porous surfaces and will not be removed by general cleaning or vacuuming. You should allow 30 minutes after application for the product to dry before cleaning or allowing children and pets to re-enter the room.

When spraying a tree for elm beetles that is next to my pond do I need to worry about the over spray of

When spraying a tree for elm beetles that is next to my pond do I need to worry about the over spray of Demand CS hurting my fish?

Yes, Demand CS like any other insecticide can be very lethal to fish. It would be advised to apply the product on a day that is not windy, and possibly even holding up a sheet of plastic on the other side of where you are spraying to protect overspray from going towards the pond. Also, apply on a day when it is not going to rain so the product has time to dry and bond to its surface so it does not run off.

Can Demand CS only be used outdoors or outside when treating fleas?

Why does the label advise you that the treatment for fleas is "for outdoors only?" I want to get rid of fleas inside my house. If Demand CS works outside for fleas, why wouldn't it work inside for fleas while you were treating for other types of pests (e.g. roaches). Should I use a different product for fleas...I was hoping to find a single product for everything. Any thoughts?

Demand CS is an excellent product for fleas, but the reason it is labeled for outside use only is because Demand CS is labeled to spray on the yard and large areas outside. For inside the home Demand CS is labeled to spray along baseboards, crack and crevices, and under appliances which is great for most insects but not for fleas. Fleas can be in your carpet, on sofas, and on other areas where you cannot spray Demand CS because it is not labeled to be applied as a space spray or on areas that you come in contact with like your couch, chairs, pet bedding, etc. We do have products that are labeled for fleas and for indoors and these products work very well and more effectively for fleas inside the home. Our most popular flea control products come in our Flea Control Kit. It has a very high success rate when used properly and is safe to use indoors around children and pets.

What is the best exterior spray that you can use to keep insects off your house for the longest period?

What is the very best exterior spray that you can use to keep insects off your house for the longest period of time?

Our most popular product that has the longest residual is called Demand CS. It lasts longer than most products, about 90 days. This is because it is microencapsulated which means the insecticide is covered in a thin capsule like coating which allows it to last longer and hold up better in rain and direct sunlight. Exact length of time will depend on where you live and environmental conditions.

If using outdoors, how many sq feet does one bottle of Demand CS cover?

How large of an area Demand CS covers outside is all dependent on what you are treating for, how strong you mix it, and how thick the ground cover is you are spraying it on. An 8 ounce bottle of Demand CS will treat anywhere from 10,000 sq. feet to 40,000 sq. feet. You should read the product label for exact calculations based on your specific situation.

Can I spray Demand CS in my vegetable garden?

I have previously used it in my giant pumpkin patch.

A	No, Demand CS is not for use in a vegetable garden. We do carry Cyonara Lawn and Garden, which is labeled for several different vegetable plants and contains the same active ingredient as Demand CS. We also carry Malathion 57%, our most popular edible vegetation product.

How Often do I Apply Demand CS?

I am using the product in my residence and dwelling perimeter

A	Demand CS can be applied every 90 days indoors and every 30 days outdoors for general pest control applications.

Do I have to worry about Demand CS harming nearby small bird families ?

I want to thoroughly spray the outside of my house about mid August. Small birds tend to fly around my house a lot as they like to nest under my porch.

A	When used as directed on the product label, Demand CS is safe to use outdoors in areas where birds frequent. Be sure the birds are out of the area when the Demand is being applied and try to keep the birds away until the area is dry.

I'd like to spray my yard with Demand CS for ticks.

However, we have a TON of (now flowering) clover this year, and the bees are everywhere. I certainly don't want to risk hurting them ! This also brings up another question- are there any other "good" bugs that Demand might kill inside or outside the house besides bees ? Thanks.

Demand CS is not a selective insecticide and it will kill most insects that contact the treated area. We recommend learning how to create a tick free zone around your yard and only spraying in those areas where ticks are known to inhabit. Make sure the property around your home is unattractive to ticks. Because ticks are sensitive to dry conditions and do not thrive in short vegetation, they are seldom a problem in well-maintained lawns. Keep your grass mowed and keep weeds cut. Clean up items that attract rodents which can carry ticks, such as spilled birdseed, and hiding places like old wood piles. If ticks are present in vegetation along the edge of the property, insecticides labeled for control of ticks can be applied to small areas of high weeds that cannot be mowed. Often, one or two applications per season will be adequate to control ticks in these areas.

Will Demand CS hurt rabbits?

A	When applied as directed on the product label Demand CS should not harm rabbits. Be sure that the animals are out of the area while product is being applied and they can come back into the area as soon as it is dry.

What harm does Demand CS cause when sprayed on garden plants and vegetables

A	Demand CS can be safely sprayed on most garden plants but absolutely cannot be used on edible vegetation. Since Demand CS has not been tested on edible vegetation and is not labeled for it, we do not know what effect it will have.

What harm to the human is caused by contact with Demand CS?

What happens when demand comes in contact with human skin, is it absorbed into the bloodstream and what damage can it cause short and long term to the person.

A	Usually the only effect someone would have a from coming into direct contact with Demand CS concentrate would be a minor skin irritation. For more information please contact Sygenta, the manufacturer of Demand CS at 866-796-4368
