Description

DEMAND Duo Insecticide by Syngenta is a powerful, professional-grade residual insecticide combining two active ingredients to deliver rapid knockdown and long-lasting control of a broad range of insect pests. Formulated with 38 g/L lambda-cyhalothrin and 125 g/L thiamethoxam, DEMAND Duo provides complementary modes of action for reliable pest control in residential, commercial, industrial and public environments.

Featuring Syngenta’s innovative ZC formulation technology, DEMAND Duo combines a microencapsulated capsule suspension (CS) of lambda-cyhalothrin with a suspension concentrate (SC) of thiamethoxam. This dual-action formulation provides effective initial knockdown while maintaining residual insecticidal activity on treated surfaces for up to 90 days under demonstrated trial conditions.

DEMAND Duo is registered in Australia for the control of a wide range of common pests, including ants, bed bugs, cockroaches, fleas, flies, Portuguese millipedes, paper wasps, silverfish and spiders. Its broad-spectrum performance makes it an ideal choice for professional pest managers undertaking general pest treatments, commercial pest control contracts and targeted treatments against difficult-to-control infestations.

The low-odour, non-staining formulation is suitable for approved indoor and outdoor applications on porous and non-porous surfaces. This versatility allows pest management technicians to carry out effective pest control treatments across a variety of structures and environments using a single professional insecticide.

Supplied in a convenient 750 mL pack, DEMAND Duo provides an economical and effective solution for initial clean-out treatments, routine pest management and ongoing residual protection.

How DEMAND Duo Insecticide Works

DEMAND Duo contains two active ingredients from different insecticide activity groups:

Lambda-cyhalothrin – Group 3A

Lambda-cyhalothrin is a synthetic pyrethroid that acts on voltage-gated sodium channels within the insect nervous system. This disrupts normal nerve function, producing rapid insecticidal activity.

In DEMAND Duo, lambda-cyhalothrin is formulated as a capsule suspension using Syngenta’s iCAP™ microencapsulation technology. The microcapsules help maintain the active ingredient on treated surfaces, supporting effective residual performance.

Thiamethoxam – Group 4A

Thiamethoxam is a neonicotinoid insecticide that acts on nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the insect nervous system. Its mode of action complements lambda-cyhalothrin, providing an additional mechanism of insect control.

Advanced ZC Formulation

What makes DEMAND Duo different from conventional residual insecticides is the combination of these two active ingredients within a single ZC formulation.

The suspension concentrate component provides thiamethoxam, while the capsule suspension delivers microencapsulated lambda-cyhalothrin.

Together, these technologies provide:

• Rapid initial insect control
• Extended residual activity
• Performance on approved porous and non-porous surfaces
• Broad-spectrum control of multiple insect pest species

This dual-action formulation makes DEMAND Duo a practical option for pest managers treating established infestations and implementing routine general pest management programs.

Initial Clean-Out and Maintenance Treatments

DEMAND Duo offers flexible treatment options to suit different levels of pest activity.

Initial Clean-Out Treatments

For established or high-pressure infestations, the registered initial treatment rate allows professional technicians to deliver a higher concentration of active ingredients.

This is particularly useful when undertaking German cockroach control, bed bug treatments and other challenging general pest management applications.

Maintenance Treatments

For routine pest management programs and lower pest pressure situations, an appropriate maintenance rate can provide an economical treatment option while maintaining residual insecticide coverage.

The formulation also offers a consistent labelled spray volume of 5 L per 100 m² for relevant surface treatments, simplifying application across porous and non-porous surfaces.

All mixing rates, application methods and treatment intervals must follow the current Australian product label.
