Many of our customers buy Demand CS for stinkbugs and the customer feedback has been great in regards to the results. Asked by Vangie. Is spraying Demand CS to eliminate bed bugs in the house perfectly safe for my children under 8, and my dogs? Be sure to have all children and pets out of the area while you are doing the application and they can return as soon as the treated area is dry. Asked by Curious. I've seen the ability to mix Gentrol with either Demand or Suspend, but can all 3 be mixed?
Seems this would offer the best combo for heavy knock down, lingering kill, and nymph control to potentially pyrethin resistant bed bugs. Also, can you confirm the pyrethrin resistance rumored in bed bug populations? There are indeed strains of bedbugs that are resistant to synthetic pyrethroid insecticides. There is no valid reason to mix Suspend SC and Demand CS together, it would not make either product work better or produce better results, though it could make treated areas repellent to bedbugs lessening the effectiveness of the treatment.
If you do have a problem with a pyrethroid resistant bedbug population, you should use Phantom and Gentrol together. Phantom is not a pyrethroid, it is from a class of insecticides called pyrrole and there is no known resistance from bedbugs to this product. We also highly recommend that you use an aerosol with a straw attachment such as Phantom aerosol for the small cracks and crevices and a dust such as MotherEarth D for long lasting residual control.
Asked by Joe. What is the dilution per gallon as well as the outdoor coverage area for Demand CS for tick control? What kind of coverage can I typically get from it? I am spraying a section of my yard that is lightly wooded, no grass, mostly leaves and branches. I am solely concerned with controlling the tick population.
I have read the booklet that came with the product but it is a little vague, ie outdoor surfaces. The Archer IGR is much more clear in its instructions. Does this sound correct? Thanks so much. You can use 0. We recommend using the highest concentration for the initial treatment and then, depending on how bad the infestation is, you can use 0. According to the product label , this is the most effective way to treat for ticks using Demand CS: "To control nuisance ticks e.
For best coverage to control ticks, apply using a coarse fan spray to vegetation brush, branches, rock walls, and other areas near habitation where ticks may harbor or frequent. Treat entire area rather than making spot treatments, and retreat as necessary to maintain control. Do not apply to pasture or cropland, and do not allow animals and people access to treated areas until the deposit has dried.
Applications can be made on a monthly basis, beginning in the spring and can continue until frost to control both larvae and adult ticks". Asked by Danny. How much Demand CS should I use per gallon of water? The final concentration will really depend on what pest you are treating for and where you are treating. You will add between 6mlml per gallon of water. Please take a few minutes to read through the Demand CS product label to find the appropriate concentration for your needs.
Asked by Fre. How often should I use the demand CS for bed bugs? Asked by George. How can I use Demand CS to help get rid of mosquitoes on my property?
Our lot is partially thickly wooded. When we sit outside at night, we have a mosquito problem. How do we apply Demand CS to protect us outdoors?

This article describes Biological Oxygen Demand Testing or BOD 5 wastewater testing, explains what the test involves, why it is used, and what it can tell us about private septic systems as well as the condition of public wastewater treatment facilities.
Understanding BOD or BOD5 tests of wastewater help diagnose drinking water quality problems in both private wells and community or public water supplies.
To be clear, a BOD test is performed on wastewater to establish its level of treatment. It is not performed on drinking water. Daniel Friedman, Isabel Sanchez Luna. The standard 5-day BOD 5 test for biological oxygen demand in wastewater is used to evaluate the effectiveness of wastewater treatment by a public or private sewer or septic system. If a system is not adequately treating its wastewater to remove biological pollutants the implication is that biological contaminants - a health hazard - are being discharged into the environment and thus potentially into local waterways and into drinking water supplies.
Our lab photo left illustrates a positive detection of total coliform in the left test tube and no coliform detected in the two samples at right. The test was performed using Lauril triptosa at dilution 1x as the culture media. Photo left I. Sanchez Luna. Although there are numerous qualifications and potential test interferences that must be considered, the bottom line for a BOD 5 test is that the acceptable level of wastewater BOD 5 discharged to the environment must be at less than 0.
Delzer and McKenzie, writing for the USGS offer a succinct, clearly-worded technical explanations of the function of the biological oxygen demand test used to assay wastewater. The following excerpted quotations are from their USGS document [3]. Our lab photo left illustrates a positive detection of total coliform in all three test samples.
The test for biochemical oxygen demand BOD is a bioassay procedure that measures the oxygen consumed by bacteria from the decomposition of organic matter Sawyer and McCarty, The change in DO concentration is measured over a given period of time in water samples at a specified temperature. It is important to be familiar with the correct procedures for determining DO concentrations before making BOD measurements.
Watch out : the use of BOD to evaluate the effectiveness of wastewater treatment is focused on biological pollutants. It does not directly address many other contaminants that can be expected to appear in wastewater such as certain chemicals or heavy metals. A sample of wastewater is collected in a clean container and delivered to a qualified testing laboratory including labs provided by the USGS in the USA within hours of collection.
If the sample is not to be delivered immediately to a test facility it should be stored in a refrigerated or cooled container but kept above freezing. Ideal storage is at degC. Ideally the wastewater sample is delivered immediately to the test lab and the BOD test is performed immediately.
As a result, they are a great source of data on customer desires, product trends, and what your competitors are doing. This method gathers the sales division with your managers and executives. The group meets to develop the forecast as a team. The Delphi method, or Delphi technique, leverages expert opinions on your market forecast. This method requires engaging outside experts and a skilled facilitator.
You start by sending a questionnaire to a group of demand forecasting experts. You create a summary of the responses from the first round and share it with your panel. This process is repeated through successive rounds. The answers from each round, shared anonymously, influence the next set of responses. The Delphi method is complete when the group comes to a consensus. This demand forecasting method allows you to draw on the knowledge of people with different areas of expertise.
The fact that the responses are anonymized allows each person to provide frank answers. Because there is no in-person discussion, you can include experts from anywhere in the world on your panel.
The end result is an informed consensus. The econometric method requires some number crunching. This technique combines sales data with information on outside forces that affect demand. Then you create a mathematical formula to predict future customer demand. The econometric demand forecasting method accounts for relationships between economic factors. For example, an increase in personal debt levels might coincide with an increased demand for home repair services.
All types of businesses can benefit from demand forecasting. Here are three examples of how demand forecasting might work for an eCommerce company. A husband and wife team sells costumes, party favors, and decorations for kids.
They have been in business for more than 10 years. They have built their business to a comfortable level of revenue and profitability. They average the last three years of sales data and use that to project trends for the coming year. Historical data tells them that their best months are May and October, and the worst are December and August. They use this information to create a trend projection that tells them when they need to place their wholesale orders.
This also tells them when they need to add temporary staff at their fulfillment warehouse. They factor in a plan for a summer promotion in the coming year that should increase sales. A startup has developed revolutionary wireless headphones. The company initially launched through Kickstarter. The crowdfunding platform gave them some information about customer demand. Now, however, they need to expand their customer base.
They need more customers to grow their enterprise into a sustainable eCommerce business. The marketing team sends surveys to all customers. The profile includes age, income, employment, and where they live. They discover that people who commute by public transit are enthusiastic about their noise-canceling headphones.
