CB-80 Aerosol - 17 oz. can will kill bees that contact the freshly treated area. For bees in walls, we recommend to use Tempo 1% dust. Keep in mind that you should first contact a local beekeeper if you have honey bees in your home so that the bees can be safely removed, if at all possible. It is very important that all nest materials, honey, etc. be completely removed to avoid secondary problems such as insect or mold issues or re-infestation.
CB-80 Aerosol should only be applied to cracks and crevices.

When using this product on poultry for Mange Mites, flies, blowflies, mosquitoes, hog lice, fleas or ticks, you mix 8 oz of product in 25 gallons of water. When treating poultry for Poultry Mites, Northern Fowl Mites or Lice, you use 8 oz of product in 12.5 gallons of water applying only 1/2 oz per bird.
CB-80 Aerosol - 17 oz. can will only kill those flies that you are spray directly. It would not be used to fog an outside area in any way.
You can use CB-80 on furniture in areas that you will not be coming into direct contact with later. For instance, it would be okay to spray the underside, under cushions and interior seams and fabric folds. Spray a small inconspicuous area to test for staining. It can be used directly on carpets ONLY if you are treating for carpet beetles per the label instructions.
CB-80 Aerosol can applied around tufts and seams. Take beds apart and spray into all joints. You should also spray baseboards, moldings and floors. CB-80 will offer a contact kill to crevices.

CB-80 Aerosol does list small flying moths as a target insect. The product label states that when treating inside of closets, to remove all clothing and other articles before applying the product. You can use this to flush out cracks and crevices to try to control larvae there. Keep in mind that this is a contact kill aerosol only, though, so it does not have any residual once the spray has dried. You can also read our article on How to Get Rid of Clothes Moths, for more treatment information by clicking here.
Insects would have to come in direct contact with CB-80 in order for them to die.
If you go with the CB-80 Aerosol, I'd suggest using bait in cabinets or places you can't or wouldn't want to spray to help offer control where the pockets seem to be hiding. Spray CB-80 into hiding places such as cracks and crevices, behind sinks, cabinets, along baseboards and floors, around drains and plumbing, hitting insects with spray whenever possible. Keep the area closed for 15 minutes. Open and ventilate before reoccupying. Repeat treatment as necessary. CB-80 is a contact-kill aerosol that has a slightly repellent nature. This product will only kill on contact and is not meant to be used as a repellent. Most aerosol insecticides are not meant to be used as repellents but rather as knockdown agents to kill the insects.
While the label does state CB-80 Aerosol is highly toxic to bees, it is not specifically labeled to control them. We suggest using the products in our carpenter bee control kit.
CB-80 Aerosol should not stain any surface its applied to, however we nor the manufacturer can test for all surface applications. We would recommend testing in a small inconspicuous area first before treating in a wider area where you have the pests emerging. Unless you are spot treating only behind the siding, we would recommend using a concentrated product you mix with water and spray in that area instead since aerosols are not going to hold up to the outdoor elements as well and are used more for spot treatments to flush insects out as a contact kill. Cyzmic CS would be a great option for residual insect control outdoors.
The best way to get rid of an Indian Meal Moth infestation is to clean out all of your cabinets and discard any infested items. Seal all goods that could potentially become infested in air tight plastic containers. While all items are out of the cabinets you should perform a deep clean. Vacuum and scrub all shelves, paying special attention to cracks and crevices where insects may harbor. Using a spray product in the cracks and crevices will help eliminate the moth larva that has crawled away from the food products to pupate.
Per the CB-80 Aerosol manufacturers label: FOR INDIANMEAL MOTHS AND ANGOUMOIS GRAIN MOTHS: Close doors and windows. Direct spray CB-80 into all parts of room especially around stored food product containers, pallets and darkened areas. Spray 7 to 10 seconds for each 1,000 cubic feet of space. Keep area closed for 15 minutes following treatment. Repeat application weekly or as needed.
CB-80 Aerosol will definitely work if they're sprayed enough, it is possible that the stink bugs you sprayed fell to their death within minutes of being sprayed. It doesn't kill lthem the instant they're "touched" by the product but within minutes it paralyzes them. Suspend Polyzone is a great product, you can continue to use that to maintain a good residual control around the perimeter of your home as well as around the window frames and door frames. Another product you can rotate with is Temprid SC, you can also find it in our Overwintering Kit.
CB-80 Aerosol - 17 oz. can does include a crack and crevice straw.
CB-80 is not for use on anything edible or electronic/machinery, the label does state: Spray into cracks and crevices, processing and handling equipment, around cartons or containers and other areas where these insects tend to congregate. So only around the areas where the bins/grain are stored more to kill those insects you make contact with during application.
Evergreen Pyrethrum Concentrate would be a better option for spraying down bins, stored grain and other areas listed on the label as a contact kill.
