Syngenta Demand 2.5 CS (Lambda-cyhalothrin 2.5% CS)
The Professional's Choice for 90-Day Mosquito & Cockroach Control.
Demand 2.5 CS uses advanced iCAP™ (Micro-Encapsulation) Technology. The powerful active ingredient is sealed inside tiny capsules that stick to insects like Velcro. These capsules are not absorbed by porous surfaces (like cement or mud walls), ensuring the poison stays on the surface where bugs walk. This guarantees up to 3 months of control with a single spray.
Best For: Mosquitoes (Indoor Residual Spray), Cockroaches (Restaurants/Homes), Houseflies, and Bed Bugs.
Why Choose Demand 2.5 CS? Key Benefits
- ⏳90-Day Residual Control: The capsules release the poison slowly. One spray job lasts for 3 months, saving labor costs and re-spray efforts.
- ?Works on Porous Surfaces: Ordinary sprays soak into cement and mud walls, becoming useless. Demand's micro-capsules are too big to soak in—they stay on top, waiting for the mosquito.
- ?No Smell & No Stains: It is a water-based suspension. It does not smell like kerosene or leave oily stains on expensive furniture or wall paint.
- ?The "Domino Effect": Cockroaches pick up the capsules on their bodies and carry them back to their hiding spots (harborages), killing other roaches they touch.
- ?High Dilution Rate: You only need 10-20 ml per liter of water. One liter bottle makes up to 50-60 liters of finished spray solution.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Demand 2.5 CS acts on the insect's nervous system:
- Adhesion: The polymer capsules stick to the waxy legs of insects as they walk over treated surfaces.
- Release: The capsule breaks or releases the active ingredient upon contact.
- Knockdown: The Lambda-cyhalothrin enters the insect and causes rapid paralysis (Knockdown).
- Death: The insect dies shortly after due to nervous system failure.

How to Apply: Best Practices
- Equipment: Use a standard compression sprayer with a Flat Fan Nozzle for even surface coating. Avoid thermal fogging as heat destroys the capsules.
- Mixing: Fill the tank half with water. Add the dose. Shake well. Top up with water. Shake again every 15 minutes during use to keep capsules suspended.
- Technique: Spray until the surface is just wet (do not let it drip/run off). Focus on corners, cracks, and resting places.
- Safety: Do not spray on food preparation surfaces or utensils. Cover aquariums (highly toxic to fish).
