01667 - BASF DEMAND A4 4PG 08/06/2010 11:32 Page 3®Demand ® CS is a valuable and highly economic alternative to more widely-usedpyrethroids for controlling insect pests in specific situations.Demand ® CS is suitable for treating a broad spectrum of insect pests in a widerange of public, domestic and commercial situations.Demand ® CS is a unique micro-encapsulated formulation offering superiordistribution and residuality to most other pyrethroid sprays on all surfaces.Demand ® CS is easy to dilute and apply and combines low mammalian toxicitywith a particularly favourable environmental profile.Unique Fourth GenerationPyrethroid FormulationDemand ® CS contains 100g/l of lamba-cyhalothrin in unique polymermicrocapsules that remain intact on treated surfaces, safeguarding theactive which rapidly diffuses into insect cuticles on contact.A fourth generation, high activity synthetic pyrethroid, lambda-cyhalothrinis up to 200 times more active against insect pests than older pyrethroids.Its micro-encapsulated formulation ensures the most sustaineddispersion in solution and the best surface coverage possible, providingan inescapable layer of more than 15 million insecticide containers persquare metre.Highly EconomicBroad-SpectrumInsect ControlDemand ® CS is approved to control flyingand crawling insects including bedbugs,cockroaches, ants, fleas, flies, mosquitoesand beetles etc. in public buildings, houses,flats, shops, restaurants and food processingand preparation businesses, amongst othersensitive locations.In addition to ensuring the lambdacyhalothrinstays where it’s needed for thelongest possible time, the advancedformulation permits an extremely low userate of the active.This makes applications especially economicas well as minimising the amount ofinsecticide introduced into the environment.Demand ® CS provides an extremelyvaluable replacement for chlorpyrifosfollowing its withdrawal from the Europeanbiocides market; especially so for the longlastingcontrol of difficult pests like bedbugs.Unlike many pyrethroids, a non-repellentnature helps overcome insect avoidanceissues.Sustained ResidualAction on All SurfacesAs well as achieving quick knockdown,Demand ® CS has an extended and highlyreliable residual action courtesy of itsmicro-encapsulated formulation.The photo-stable microcapsules retaintheir structural integrity over an extendedperiod on porous and non-porous surfacesalike, ensuring the lambda-cyhalothrinremains highly active for a good threemonths even on difficult surfaces like wood,mortar and concrete.This makes Demand ® CS particularlywell-suited either as a stand-alone treatmentor as a modern partner for insecticide baitswherever consistent, extended insect controlis required regardless of surface type tomaximise client satisfaction and minimisecostly call-backs.Easy, Acceptable andSafe in UseDemand ® CS is easy to dilute and applythrough any type of spray equipment, itsgreat mixability and spray stabilitymeaning fewer settling problems and theleast possible nozzle clogging or wear.Non-staining, with only the mildest of odoursand leaving no visible residues, it has a lowmammalian toxicity and favourableenvironmental profile. All of which ensuresit can be used with confidence in sensitivelocations with great safety and minimal riskof customer complaint.With professional application, Demand ® CSpresents no risk to either humans orpets which can be re-admitted to treatedareas as soon as sprayed surfaces are dryto the touch.
