Preparing to Use Demand CS Insecticide Concentrate

 

Start by putting on protective gloves, long sleeves, pants, and safety glasses to protect your skin and eyes from contact with the product. Make sure pets and people are out of the area where you plan to spray. Gather a hand pump sprayer or a backpack sprayer for application, and have clean water available. Always read the product label fully before you begin to ensure you follow all safety instructions.

 

Mixing Demand CS with Water

 

Shake the Demand CS bottle well before opening, as the active ingredient settles over time. For most indoor and outdoor uses, measure out 0.2 to 0.8 ounces of Demand CS concentrate for each gallon of water. Refer to the product label to choose the right amount based on the target pest—use the lower rate for small insects and light infestations, and the higher rate for more severe problems or larger pests.

Add the measured concentrate to your sprayer, then fill the sprayer about halfway with clean water. Secure the lid and shake or swirl the sprayer to mix thoroughly. Add the remaining amount of water to reach the full gallon mark, then shake again to ensure an even mixture.

 

Spraying Demand CS Around Your Home

 

Spray the mixture directly onto surfaces where pests are active or where you want to keep them out. Indoors, apply in cracks, crevices, baseboards, corners, under appliances, and around doors and windows. Avoid spraying on floors or surfaces where food is prepared or eaten. For outdoor application, spray around the foundation of your home, around windows, doors, eaves, and any spots where pests enter. Also treat patios, garages, and storage areas. Hold the nozzle close to the area you’re treating and use a fine spray, but avoid soaking surfaces.

 

Allowing Treated Areas to Dry

 

After spraying, do not let people or pets touch treated surfaces until thoroughly dry. Drying usually takes about 1-2 hours but may vary depending on temperature and humidity. Keep the area ventilated to speed up drying.

 

Cleaning Up After Application

 

Once spraying is done, pour any leftover insecticide mixture onto bare soil or gravel outdoors—never into drains, sinks, or the street. Rinse the sprayer thoroughly with clean water and spray the rinse water onto the ground outdoors as well. Wash your hands, arms, and any other exposed skin thoroughly with soap and water.

 

Reapplying Demand CS as Needed

 

Reapplication may be needed every 21 to 90 days, depending on the type of pest and the severity of the problem. Always follow label guidelines about how often you can reapply, and don’t exceed the recommended rates. Store the unused concentrate in its original container, tightly closed, in a cool, dry place away from children and pets.

 

 

What is Demand CS Insecticide Concentrate by Syngenta?

 

Demand CS Insecticide Concentrate by Syngenta is a professional-grade chemical product used to control a wide variety of common pests, like ants, spiders, and cockroaches, in and around buildings. It's a liquid formula that needs to be mixed with water before application, and it utilizes a special technology to ensure long-lasting effectiveness against bugs.

 

How Demand CS Works

 

Demand CS contains an active ingredient called "lambda-cyhalothrin," which is a type of pyrethroid. Pyrethroids are synthetic chemicals similar to a natural insect-killing substance found in chrysanthemum flowers. They are widely used because they are highly effective at knocking down insects.

This insecticide is designed with a special "microencapsulated" formulation. That means the chemical is enclosed within many tiny microscopic capsules. These capsules slowly release the active ingredient over time after the product is sprayed onto surfaces. Because of this slow, controlled release, Demand CS can continue working and killing pests for weeks or even months after it is applied.

 

What Makes the Microencapsulation Special?

 

The microencapsulation system offers several benefits:

• Extended Control: The capsules break down slowly, ensuring the product remains effective for an extended period rather than just a day or two.
• Improved Safety: The active ingredient is released in small amounts, reducing risk of exposure for people and pets compared to older formula insecticides.
• No Strong Odor: The formula is almost odorless after it dries, making it less noticeable indoors.
• Less Staining: Given the way it’s formulated, Demand CS usually does not stain most surfaces or leave noticeable residue when used properly.

 

Pests Controlled by Demand CS

 

Demand CS is labeled to control more than 30 different types of pests, including:

• Ants
• Spiders
• Roaches (cockroaches)
• Fleas
• Ticks
• Centipedes and millipedes
• Mosquitoes

• Crickets
• Silverfish
• And many others commonly found inside and around homes, businesses, warehouses, and public spaces

 

Where and When Demand CS is Used

 

Demand CS is intended for both indoor and outdoor use on non-food surfaces. It is commonly applied:

• Inside homes, including cracks, crevices, baseboards, behind appliances, or other spots where pests may hide or enter
• Outdoors around building foundations, doorways, windows, eaves, and other entry points
• In and around businesses, schools, warehouses, offices, and occasionally commercial kitchens (outside of food handling surfaces)
• To prevent pests from entering buildings or to stop existing infestations

 

Who Uses Demand CS

 

Demand CS is mostly used by professional pest control companies, but it’s also available for licensed individuals and, in some locations, for careful homeowners. Since it is a concentrated formula, it must be handled and prepared responsibly by someone who has read the product label and follows safety instructions closely.

 

Summary

 

Demand CS Insecticide Concentrate by Syngenta is a long-lasting, versatile pest control product that uses advanced microencapsulation to deliver extended, safer protection against dozens of types of insects in and around buildings. Its main ingredient disrupts insect nervous systems, killing them upon exposure, and its release technology makes it a preferred choice for effective, professional pest management.
