    Q
    What is better to use to control sewer bug problem outside around house, Demand CS or Suspend SC?
    I have been noticing sewer bugs (water bugs...EEEWWW) outside my house on the side walk or driveway when it is real humid out (1 -a few weeks ago & 1 -this morning) and I am worried they are going to come in my house. I was reading up on the different pesticides you have and all the reviews & I am not sure which one to get between Demand CS or Suspend SC. They both seem really good from the reviews but I wanted your opinion on what you think might work best.
    A
    Both products have an active ingredient that is classified as a synthetic pyrethroid, so they really are very similar in the way that they work.  Suspend SC contains the active ingredient deltamethrin and is a bit more versatile when it comes to some pest treatments. Demand CS contains the active ingredient lambda-cyhalothrin, and it is micro encapsulated which will make it last a little bit longer in outdoor applications so would be the better product for you in your situation.

    Q
    Does the Demand CS help to keep ladybugs from infesting a camper?
    Every year ladybugs infest our camper. We purchased a new camper and do not want them to infest it.
    A
    Yes, the Demand CS would be a great option to use around any entry points on your camper to keep both ladybugs and a large variety of other insects out. You will want to spray once a month through at least November to make sure they are not getting in to overwinter.

    Q
    What to use for Scorpion problem close to a swimming pool?
    I have a scorpion problem in my backyard, and am concerned that the pesticides I use may runoff into my swimming pool and make the pool unhealthy to swim in. There is only about three feet between the pool and the exterior wall of the house in places, and on the opposite side of the pool there is an elevated flower garden secured with stacked bricks that may see runoff into the pool, as well. How concerned do I need to be about something like Demand CS or CyKick running off into the swimming pool?
    A
    Demand would be a great product to use in the areas you specified. Your are not spraying the water directly and only spraying around the plants, cracks and crevices. Run Off is not an issue as long the treated area is allowed to dry before rain. Such a small amount tof active ingredient is left after dilution. Only enough to harm small insects. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

    Q
    Can I use Demand CS in Canada on private property without a license?
    A
    Unfortunately, we are not familiar with Canadian law regarding the use of commercial pesticides like Demand CS by homeowners without a pest control license. Although, we do know that here in the United States, homeowners are able to use commercial grade insectides on their own property. Please be sure to check with your local government regarding regulations and/or restrictions.

    Q
    Can I mix Demand CS and Cy-Kick CS together to make a "super" insecticide?
    We live in Phoenix, AZ (Central Phoenix) and we have a huge...I mean HUGE bark scorpion problem. We have had the second warmest winter in AZ history and the scorpions are already out and mating. I have cleaned up the property, raked, yard work, etc. I normally use Cy-Kick-CS mixed on the high concentrated side. I also use the DeltaGard G Granules - 20 lb. bag all around the exterior perimeter of my house and back yard. I also started spraying the brick wall perimeter in my backyard. I used to go out at night with a black light and kill 15-20 scorpions every night...EVERY Night. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I hate scorpions. The problem has improved, but not as much as I would like.
    A

    There is no valid reason to mix Cy Kick CS and Demand CS together, it would not make either product work better or produce better results, though it could make treated areas repellent to insect lessening the effectiveness of the treatment. We would recommend applying the Cy Kick CS and using glue boards also. Please refer to the article below for additional tips on treatment of scorpions including non-chemical methods that help in addition to the product. Please contact us at 866.581.7378 if you have additional questions.

    Q
    Looking for a general purpose outdoor spray to keep insects out of the house like spiders, ants, millipedes,
    And anything else with 6,8 legs and,or wings
    A
    Demand CS would be a great choice for general pest control. It will hold up well to UV rays and rain and because it is a micro-encapsulated it works a little bit like a time released formula.  Of course it will only kills those pests that contacted a treated surface so flying insects will always be a little bit harder to kill versus the crawling ones but Demand will take care of just about anything!

    Q
    Demand CS for evergreen bagworms? Buffering question
    I have a horrible evergreen bagworm infestation on my arborvitae. We have been happy with Demand CS for perimeter control of other bugs around our home. a) will it work on the evergreen bagworms b) what ratio do I need to use when mixing c) should we be using a buffering agent in this case (or any case for that matter)? Thanks!
    A
    Yes, Demand CS will work well on the evergreens to kill bagworms. Apply Demand CS Insecticide when bagworm larvae begin to hatch. Spray directly on the larvae. Application is the most effective when the larvae are young. You would use 1.5–5 fl. oz. of the Demand CS per 100 gallons of water.

    Q
    Demand safety
    What are the ingredients in your product? How safe is it? I just had this product sprayed in my home and the company said it is safe. However, I want to know what is the recommended time frame between spraying and they also told me it is safe. After looking at he answered questions it says its safe when it is dried and to keep away for 2 hours. I am in my home when they sprayed and i was told it was safe.
    A
    Demand CS is safe once it is dry. The active ingredient in Demand CS is lambda-cyhalothrin. The timeframe to re-enter your home is between 1-2 hours. If the product has already dried around your home, it is safe to enter and/or be in the rooms that were sprayed. Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

    Q
    Spraying techniques
    I have a one gallon sprayer for applying DemandCS. I have an unfinished basement that has some drywall in spots. There are a fair amount of spiders so I am trying to take care of that. When I spray along the top edge of the basement, after a few minutes I return and the application has dripped down the wall somewhat. Also around the windows you can see it dripping. I have the most fine nozzle I can put on the sprayer. Any techniques for this?
    A
    The dripping of the Demand CS even after spraying on the fine mist setting can be a direct result of the actual sprayer or because you are spraying with your nozzle too close to the  application area. Try standing and positioning the tip of your wand further back to test for drip and if it still happens maybe try purchasing another sprayer that is more of a professional brand such as out B&G Sprayers.

  • Asked by Carl from Queen Creek, Az
    06/10/2015
    Q
    I have been treating my home with Demand CS and Delta Dust; why am I still getting a lot of scorpions?
    Any ideas on how to get rid of them???
    A
    When treating for scorpions, the product needs to be sprayed in the area where they are. Generally speaking, scorpions are drawn to dry areas, and their main sources of food are usually small insects such as crickets and spiders. Keeping your home free of these insects will make it much less likely that scorpions will be a problem, so general pest control is always advisable. If they do get into your home, they are usually found in secluded dry areas such as closets and garages. They have also been known to hide in piles of clothes, particularly ones that have not been moved recently. Eliminating these hiding spaces will go a long way in making your other control efforts more effective. Because they are more susceptible to the negative effects of a scorpion sting, it is important to ensure that any area where your children and pets might play or live is treated thoroughly for these pests. Although, you should be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions on how long to separate them from the area after it has been treated. As always, feel free to e-mail or call us with any concerns or questions.

  • Asked by David from Prairie View, Texas
    07/31/2015
    Q
    Will Demand CS get rid of millipedes in Texas?
    A

    First you want to

    • Repair cracks, crevices, and gaps around windows, doors, pipes and wires with sealant or caulk
    • Makes sure the screens and door sweeps on windows and doors are tight-fitting

    Then you want to flush out the area with an adulticide like:

    CB Air Devil HPX is a cypermethrin residual contact kill aerosol that HPX is specially formulated to clear out large numbers of target insects fast, and provides up to 3 months of protection. For treatment of millipedes, spray CB Air Devil around doors and windows and other areas where millipedes may be found or where they may enter premises. Spray baseboards, storage areas and other locations. Repeat as necessary.

     

    Next you want to do the perimeter treatment indoors and out.

    Demand CS, and Suspend SC, are residual liquid formulation pesticides that are added to water and applied with a low-pressure sprayer can provide a powerful residual that continues working for 4 to 8 weeks following application. These residual liquid formulations can be sprayed along the outside perimeter of the home (especially under and around eaves, decks, patios, and window shutters), and inside along baseboards, in cracks and crevices, and other potential millipede harborages. You will know the residual is working because you will begin finding only dead millipedes rather than live ones.
