I started using this last year afterr watching this video and it works WAY better than the pest company i used to pay to treat my home. I came back to this video just to say Thank you!
Good demonstration. I also liked the part where you showed cleaning the pump sprayer especially the hose and nozzle.
Thanks! 👍It took me 10 years to realize that cheap sprayers weren't breaking because they were cheap, I was always leaving them dirty and they will all fail that way. Glad to share this tip.
I’ve used Taurus SC with the same excellent results. Thank you, again, for the terrific content and the time you take to share.
I appreciate that. I was amazed to see that they packaged it in such a small size, which is so much better for someone doing this, especially if they are new to it. Very handy.
yes Taurus works great .. sometimes I will use a dust (sevin) with a hand duster or Triazicide granules all around the perimeter of the structure .. very helpful for up to a year! (it will say 90 days on the bag .. but the granules break down gradually, and the dust is effective for easily a year ..)
@@BEAUTYnIQ fr tho dust lasts forever especially if undisturbed I use it in walls for cockroach jobs all the time last like a decade in the wall voids. Granular is great I also spray my lawn with growth regulator on top of that gets a different mode of action out and it soaks the granules in the soil labels will tell you to water it in so always make sure to at least water them in if anything.
My grandson is very allergic to pesticides and other type products. Is this safe around children and pets? Thx. Enjoy your videos, very informative, well presented 😊
My main concern with any type of bug killer is its safety with animals. I have cats and dogs, and there are feral cats in the neighborhod. I also don't want to poison any local wildlife be it via direct contact or consuming any bugs that may have consumed it. A y recommendations for animal safe stuff?
When is the ideal time for application? Beginning of fall? Mid fall? Now?
Great demo, thanks! And btw your lawn reseeding advice is really helping me! Slowly the bare spots are filling in.
Glad the lawn videos are helping. For bug control anytime goes. If you apply now you will be good through the winter. And then I usually apply in Spring again as things start to wake up.
Great product I'll have to try some and I'll definitely be buying the blazer also!!
Spiders are very hard to control with chemicals unless you hit them directly because among other reasons Spiders have long legs that keep their bodies off surfaces, and they use specialized appendages to touch their food, so they're unlikely to absorb pesticides from surfaces. They also often spend time in webs, away from areas where they could pick up pesticides. Better to keep areas clean from cobwebs and clutter.
Can you do videos how to get rid off flies to enjoy my backyard?
Dude your lawn is beautiful
Thank you so much!
Taslstar works great too and it also kills stinkbugs
Great video! Thank you for sharing. I currently use DemonMaxx, I wonder how the two compare. I got DemonMaxx last year to cure my southern pine beetle problem - I lost 40 trees. I must say, it worked. My trees stopped dying and, unfortunately, all my neighbors trees continued to die. I simply sprayed the base of my trees with 2 gallon sprayer. Took a while, but worked. Will give Demand Duo a try around the home.
Wow, its tough with the tree damage. We don't get as much of that where I am in Mass but I have heard how damaging that can be and losing trees is awful.
Sounds promising 👍🙏👍
I need to stop centipides , I will ordered today!!
thanks a lot !!
With those you know for sure they aren't flying in, so once you get the barrier going you should definitely get some good control. Glad you enjoyed it I have used the Demand line for almost 20 years now, it's been fantastic stuff.
Great video! Love the tip on spraying the siding. I will definitely try this!
Glad it was helpful!
You always have the best solutions!
@@cherylskates I really appreciate that. Thank you
Many spiders and other insects can actually float on to your home with the aid of the wind. This is called kiting or ballooning and would thus bypass the method used in this video. As such, I would probably recommend an interior treatment for those scenarios.
Any alternatives for those living in California?
Hello 😊 I appreciate your videos and this procedure works amazing! Problem I have this year is I can’t order Demand Duo to be delivered to my address in Massachusetts. Do you have any ideas or suggestions? Thanks, Brian
I put delta dust on my garage door threshold and use a broom to spread it thin. Reapply every few months. Only a couple of tablespoons at a time is enough.
Always appreciate your reviews. Do you have any suggestions on a product that i can get in NY?
Nice demo!
Thank you very much
Not bad. Am going to try this. Thank you.
Thank you sir! I've had good results with Talstar P but will give this a try when I run out.
I try ways to get rid of weeds and they work great do you have any ideas on how to get rid or repel snakes
Thanks again for your tip
No problem 👍
Depending on what you apply it to, it might absorb into the material.
Delta dust is also an excellent product and you won’t have to worry about it absorbing into porous items such as concrete. It’s also hydrophobic. It repels water
What would be an alternative option? I cannot find this item in Canada.
Brilliant! Thanks.
I use a cheap pump sprayer for pesticides only. A quality battery sprayer for herbicides.
Thank you for watching, please LIKE & SUBSCRIBE - Always follow the label. Normally I wear long sleeves but I didn't so you could see my hands & what I was doing with more detail. To purchase this little $10 bottle with free shipping: tinyurl.com/yyhwom8w Blazer is available here: amzn.to/2YnNPz9
What the other 20 bugs? U said u had in description
Reason being i have a Millipore, centipede problem, they crawl between the brick and foundation
Excellent!
Love this. Is it safe it you have well water?
I wish they sold this in California 😭😭😭 is there another similar product I can get here?
I like your content. I subbed. THANKS.
Looks like this cannot be sold in New York. Anything else close?
Any idea on how this compares to the Ortho Home Defense product?
Have you thought about doing a video on killing white flies.
Great info!
Glad it was helpful!
Nice video
Is it safe for pets?
Hi, Silver. We're ready eager to hear from you. Any updates for us?
From western Pennsylvania here, practically live in the woods...I have tried everything from DIY juices, store bought stuff, flame thrower etc., and all failing i was skeptical when i heard this concoction...BUT IT 100% WORKS, SMELLS GREAT AND ISNT HARMFUL TO PETS OR PEOPLE.
☆Witch Hazel - about 1 cup in spray bottle.
☆Essential oil(peppermint/spearmint) are the most effective especially for spiders - i usually put about half the bottle(small small bottle) in the spray bottle.
☆ HOT WATER (when first mixing) filling rest of spray bottle up.
Leave a little room at top of bottle. Close lid. Shake well and spray around windows, door frames/jams, stairs to basement etc.
BEST BUG KILLER/REPELLENT I'VE EVER USED AND COSTS LIKE $5-$6 TO MAKE 3-4 BOTTLES OF IT!
Is it pet safe?
Thank you! Just bought 2 bottles. :)
I appreciate you trusting my recommendations, I have used the original Demand for almost 20 years and it works very well, the Duo takes the original and adds a fast acting ingredient so you get the quick action and long lasting making it even better. Please share your experience once you get to use it. Thanks again
@@SilverCymbal Got them in the mail yesterday and applied a bottle as instructed. Hopefully it'll help! I'll apply the second bottle in the spring. Thanks again!
Thank you!
I have a brick house can I still get use this product? I live in the basement and do have some spiders that look like small tarantulas. I live in Pacific Northwest Washington State. We don't have tarantulas.
Absolutely, no issues with paint, vinyl, concrete or brick. I think you will be very pleased with the results.
I'm curious about one thing you probably already mentioned in a previous video.I noticed much of the area at the base of the house, you have what looks like gravel. Is there a particular reason you have that there and not mulch or something else?
Thanks for all of your advice given throughout your many videos! We appreciate it!
No problem. The section with the gravel is underneath a deck, there is a little edge that was shown in the video that isn't underneath but it connects to the other part so they used the same material. Thanks for the nice words too
@@SilverCymbal Thanks! I thought perhaps it might be some sort of termite related prevention. I've read that a 6" deep by 12" wide trench filled with sand and sprayed with chemicals does a good job preventing them. I was guessing the gravel may have been your variation of that. I looked at your video again and saw the glimpse of your decking. Thanks again!
Thank you sir!!
hi
any alternative you recommend? this cant be shipped to california. :(
@@connorstohl6050 The M1 is affective against CA govt rodents.. 🤷♂️
I tried to order this product but they won’t ship to NY. Is there another product you would suggest with the same results?
Great videos. Have you tried the Ryobi electric chemical sprayer? Would like your opinion on it.
I haven't yet but would like to. The thing sold out everywhere because of people using it for COVID. I want to check it out though, this would be a economnical choice potentially for moquitoes etc.
@@SilverCymbal ok it's about $50 at home depot and more for weed sprayer but it can be still used in the same way you did for the bugs
I have used their backpack version and it worked fine. Had an occasional problem with the "on" switch being sticky/faulty, but actual function wise it worked well. Used it for cleaning and acid etching concrete.
I just picked up the Ryobi backpack sprayer with the upgraded One+ battery (included with charger). So far it performs well for homeowner use and is really well built. I think my only cons are the gallon marks are pretty inaccurate (liters are not however), so it needs calibrated by the owner, and the lack of tips- both of which are very easily correctable for little to no extra cost. The sprayer wand also could be better built, but it functions as good as a well built wand.
I am bought into the Dewalt 20V tool system (and older 18V system), but there is no Dewalt battery sprayer yet..and if there was, the bare tool alone would cost at least $150. The Ryobi is a very fine sprayer for the price and can recommend it.
cannot be shipped to California
Sorry I know things can be really strict there. Hopefully someone else may chime in with a good local reccoendation.
I can see spider web in my garage and inside the rooms. How can I get rid of those spiders/insects that are inside the home?
You said it's good for 90 days. Do you spray every 90 days? If not, are you concerned that bugs (e.g. roaches) will develop a resistance to it?
I take the approach of trying to use less of everything, meaning that I would spray once but there is a good chance you may get even longer control so I would spray once, see how it is working and if bugs are not an issue try to stretch it to 6 months or longer. Good for the $ and less work. I wold worry about resistance, most of these products like this one have been around for 20+ years and are still mainstream because they continue to work.
Once it dries up, is it even effective after a few days or a week?
Could we use a sprayer for demand cs? Something with decent Psi. For ticks and mosquitoes?
How much blazer did you use per 1 gallon?
I use about 1oz. You can use more, but the stuff is pretty well concentrated. That small bottle can treat a lot.
Your unbelievable. Thanks much !!
Glad you liked it. Thank you
What can I use for cockroaches in a apartment?
Any thoughts for killing moles in the lawn sir?
Unfortunately not yet, and this year has been crazy for them too. I never saw so many above the ground running around. Let me see what I can find out to help.
Will this stop conifer and stink bugs from making their way in as well? They were the biggest nuisance for me last year
It is labelled for stink bugs but they are a little different than most of the typical hous pests becuase they will fly but also crawl. So you can treat the way I showed here and I am sure it will give you some control but I find those stink bugs like to be high up and may get in by eaves and roof lines. In that case you may want to do a similar treatment but do so around house eve cracks and spaces to stop them there as well. But you can apply just as I show to start and see if that helps.
Boric acid works too. 5 pound bags on amazon.
I tried it once and it was great and then it was like it hated me after, I never got good control and my wife was gonna kill me with the ants. But I don't like spraying inside so this ended up working great. Plus it lasts 3 months which is nice.
I learned the boric acid has to be 1 per cent BA to 99 percent bait to work.
I can find demand CS but not demand duo. I have looked at eBay, Amazon, Rural king, and home depot
Professional stores have it or just order it here, its even free shipping: tinyurl.com/yyhwom8w
Hi
Hey now
Omg thank you so much I love you’re vids
@@josiahfriesen3777 Thank you so much!. So glad they are helpful
I have a HUGE ant problem in my front yard and it seems I’ve tried everything and nothing has worked. Do you have any suggestions? Is there a certain time of year to apply it?
Pretty late here but if you still have a problem I use Taurus SC and spot spray it on ant hils. Works great.
Rather than chemicals, I boil old coffee grounds in about a quart of water, then pour it into the center of the anthill. Boiling water is the old-school trick, but it's not reliable because some ants have multiple queens or quickly recolonize. The coffee smell seems to keep them away for 1-2 years.
If your problem is REALLY bad, and you have dozens of anthills spread out over a large area, chemicals are probably the way to go.
Completely die ? Can they partially die?
You remind me of my father
@@SilverCymbal He was a truly wise and perceptive man
What’s the name of the Liquid?
Its Demand Duo you can see it and order here: tinyurl.com/yyhwom8w
Any big differences between this and Bifen?
The thing that I liked about the demand line, even way back when it was an Astra Zeneca product was the microencapsulation, that makes it last longer but it also is a much safer product to use. I used Bifen a whule back and it didn't seem to last for me.
Silver Cymbal awesome I’m in the same boat it only lasts about 2 weeks. And I’m in CT so there really isn’t much I’m allowed to use. Thanks for the reply
This is what I've done for the invasive species Argentine ants. First when I extended my kitchen 30 years ago I sealed everything up. The ants finally came in through the electrical conduit, so I silicone caulked where these enter the boxes (first puffing in some Roach powder Boric Acid -- pretty safe stuff.) The last way in was the back door. A little roach powder under the sill and problem solved. Then I moved to what is essentially a shack, lots of ways in.
To kill ants in your house. The ants love the Terro traps, but come on at $7 each it's just an elaborate scam to continually feed them and pay Terro. So I put some sugar syrup (very thick sugar and water mixture) in small cups, I mix in a tiny amount of Boric Acid (Roach and Ant powder Home Depot $8-10 will last you twenty years I've only just bought my second bottle) then as the ants begin feeding I just add more and more boric acid, that's it. They get hooked, they don't notice that the concentration of boric acid has increased or that their colony is dying. Only downside, you spill a cup, the cup dries out. I once wiped out three entire colonies in a couple of weeks. They didn't come back for two years. (None of my neighbors sprayed I asked them.) The thing about the Argentine ants is they're all so genetically similar they see other colonies as sisters so there's no competition. I've been using this method for 30 years.
How many mowers do you own
Too many!
Make a quick vid about it
It is safe on my flowers ???
Demand Duo is designed for in and around buildings, so for this use its perfect protecting your house. If you just want to spray foliage & plants the regular Demand CS is the right choice and it also lasts 30 days or longer. That is available here tinyurl.com/y837ejz3
... Or you can get a cat or two...
will that kill bees,bees are the most important animal in our ecosystem
My honey bees don't spend much time under my siding, that's exactly why you should use the product this way.
Man I thought we were going to be shown how to make something diy style with coke! And it was going to basically be free oh well....
Sorry, it was to show how small the bottle is. Many are less likely to use professional products, usually because they only come in huge bottles so this is such a dramatic difference and I love that you can do a full treatment for $10
Is this poisonous to pets? People?
Technically yes, but if you read the science this is safer than many competing products. It isa rated as safe for inside and outside the home, but the real key to keeping it safe is how I applied it here, you are gettng it away from the areas kids and pets go, so even though it is safe and safer than others, this method makes it even safer. For me this is the way to go. Hope this helps.
First :)
Yes you are! Always appreciated.
@@SilverCymbal I didn't have any of the O ring lube left to try on my Liberty 43 battery but will pick some up tomorrow and give it a try :)
No more..let the bugs alone. Im not a tree hugger..but stop with the " chemicals for better living" buy a fly swatter. Option two caulk your where your floor meets the wall
This method applies the least amount of chemical, in the right place that isn't just broadcast spraying everything in site. You are targeting bugs that are heading in the house and whether you use a swatter or spray if they are gone they are gone. This leaves the bugs outside alone, which gives you some balance.
Invaders must be stopped or they will infiltrate your food stuffs, bedding, etc. Take action or else you will be overwhelmed, additionally you got to do maintenance around your house too, like cleaning all food preparation areas entryways and where you sleep. Hey Silver - you are the man, using demand for 20 years! Every time I find something to use they the EPA bans it! Great 👍 VIDEO!
That doesn't work with carpenter ants, that eat your wood structure. Nor, a distant neighbor's problem with recluse spiders.. glue strips on the window sills, and they would be full every morning.. They ended up tenting the entire house, and a fumigation process. All cabinets had to be removed, etc They had to move out, for quite a while. A fly swatter doesn't always work.
You know this is insecticide that is harmful to you and your children also? I don't recommend to use toxic stuff only to stop a few bugs, just learn to live on this planet with the rest of Gods' creatures.
What is the difference between Demand Duo and Demand CS, they are both insecticides and made by Syngenta?
Looking for something for The Canadian market
The Demand CS was awesome by itself but it didn't provide immediate kill, it created the barrier but could take a few days to work. They added a second ingredient, making it the Duo that now has a fast kill feature but still keeps the barrier power of the original Demand.
I online chatting with Sygenta yesterday - no plans for them to bring it here, so I guess I have to go down to the States to pick it up when the border re-opens
Is it pet safe?
When used as directed yes, this product is rotuinely used indoors which gives you an idea of its safety. I don't to ensure complete safety indoors and I like applying it how I showed in the video since it's basically out of reach but still gives great control of the bugs.
Is this safe for pets?
This product is extremely toxic to cats, if they come in contact with it, they most likely will die. Dogs and most other pets are ok to have around this product.
