  • Asked by Joaquin from Miami, Florida

    Q
    Can you apply Demand SC directly to a bed (mattress) where humans sleep?
    Friend has fleas/ticks in her house she wants to know if it's safe to apply it to her bed because she sleeps with her dog.
    A

    No, Demand CS  is NOT labeled for applications to mattresses where humans sleep directly for your safety. NyGuard Plus is labeled for ticks and fleas and it can be applied to the mattress. Spray only surfaces that cannot be laundered or dry-cleaned including mattresses and upholstered furniture. Apply on mattresses as a spot treatment to mattress seams, edges, buttons, and tufts of bed only. Do not use directly on pillows, bed linens, or cloths. Do not saturate the mattress and do not treat entire surface area of the mattress. Allow mattress to dry thoroughly before replacing pillows and/or bed linens. You will wash and dry linens in heat to eradicate any present fleas or ticks and allow the product to completely dry prior to making the bed. Please take a few moments to review our How to Get Rid of Fleas and How to Get Rid of Ticks articles for more detailed information.

  • Asked by Clyde from Lebenezer, Ms
    02/08/2019
    Q
    Can Demand CS be used around a pond with fish?
    I have used granular insecticides in the past but when I used them around my pond there was runoff and had a fish kill. I am looking for flea/tick/ant/grub/mosquito control.
    A

    Demand CS treatments should be kept at least 25 feet away from any bodies of water and should be applied where no runoff into a pond can occur.   For a better option closer to the pond a natural product like EcoVia would work.

    Q
    Does Demand CS kill squash bugs?
    A

    While Demand CS could potentially kills squash bugs since it is a non-selective insecticide, you cannot use Demand CS on edible plants like a vegetable garden. We have many other products you could use for squash bugs on edible plants, such as Triple Action or Pyganic Gardening.

  • Asked by Diana
    07/07/2019
    Q
    Does Demand CS work on ground nesting yellow jackets?
    A

    Demand CS can be applied to the lawn. Dusting is the most effective way to treat yellow jackets and ground nests, using Tempo 1% Dust or Delta Dust and applying directly to the holes with a bellow hand duster.  You will want to treat in the evening time when they are least active. Please review our DIY Treatment Guide for Wasps, Yellow Jackets and Hornets for more information.

    Q
    Does Demand CS work to treat Pine Bark Beetle?
    I have been trying very hard to spot the actual beetles but have not seen any. I do however, see a bald patch of trunk on my black pine with what looks to be 3 woodpecker holes. Some branches have all brown needles. In cypress trees nearby, I see trails of yellow sap seeping out and some branches there already turned brown. I'm so so sad as this black pine is a very fancy Japanese bonsai style tree and I might have lost a few small trunks with the brown needles.
    A

    An insecticide such as Demand CS can be used to prevent infestations of bark beetles such as pine bark beetles, however usually this treatment is not effective once trees are already infested. You want to spray down the trunks of nearby trees to protect them from infestation. You may need to consult a local arborist if you are unsure whether the trees can be saved. You can usually trim and destroy infested branches, however keep in mind that this pest will usually infest trees that are already weak from some other existing issue (disease, drought, etc.).

    Q
    If a bird eats a dead roach sprayed the night before with Demand CS, will it harm the bird?
    Sprayed yard around 10pm, next morning there was a staggering amount of dead or dying roaches all over. Came home from work around 5pm and 95% of the carcasses were gone. As I sat there bewildered a little bird landed no more then 5ft. from me, grabbed a dead roach and flew away. So please tell me this will not hurt the birds! Thanks for your time! I forgot to mention
    A

    There is such a small amount of the active ingredient in Demand CS that actually gets on the bugs before they die that it will not affect any animals that consume the dead bugs

    Q
    I mopped the area where Demand CS was sprayed with water even before its dry.
    Could it have caused any contamination?
    A
    If you mopped over the treated area while it was wet or dry you will need to reapply the Demand CS. Demand CS is water based so you will need to rinse your mop with large amounts of water to rinse off  any product that may have been mopped up.

    Q
    Is Demand CS poisonous to horses?
    We have a stink bug problem and want to try Demand CS around our house. Is it also safe to use around our barn where the horses are?
    A
    Demand CS is labeled to be used in barns and other animal housing structures but the animals must be out of the area while the application is being made and they can return to the area once it is dried. Demand CS should only be used in cracks and crevices and care should be taken to make sure over-spray does not contact feed and water supplies or feed/watering dishes. Be sure to read the Demand CS product label for complete application instructions.

  • Asked by Loy from Los Angeles, Ca

    Q
    Spraying for bedbugs today, the exterminator sprayed my mattress seams and inside the mattress. Is this okay?
    Noting a hole in the side of the mattress where the handles had ripped the fabric, he stuck his sprayer in and gave the interior a pump. Are there any possible health risks associated with sleeping on this mattress now or long-term, and if so what are they? He was careful to ask me to remove all bedding and pillows. (It is a very small apartment, and temporarily it is not well ventilated as the building exterior is being painted. I can maybe stay with friends for a few days if you think that's wise.)
    A
    Demand Cs is not labeled for that use. We recommend using it as a crack and crevice treatment. Please contact the manufacturer Syngenta at 866-796-4368 for further advisement.

    Q
    Using Demand CS around herbs.
    We are having a professional company apply Demand on our yard to get rid of fire ants. I will dig up my herbs prior to the application. When would it be safe to replant the herbs after the application of Demand? Or should I not replant at all?
    A
    We would not recommend replanting in the area that has been treated with Demand CS. You can apply the product around the herbs, just not directly in the herb garden.
