    Q
    Crawl space sewer flies, can I use CB-80 Aerosol?
    I had a broken drain pipe in my crawl space which has lead to a colony of sewer flies. I've fixed the drain pipe but the crawl space is saturated with waste from the kitchen sink. I'm trying to wait for the space to dry out and to treat with bleach but I'm the meantime the flies are everywhere. I want to use this product to kill and control the fly population until the area dries. Will this be a good fit?
    A

    CB-80 Aerosol is a contact kill that can be used when seeing flies in the crawl space area. For a residual spray, OneGuard can be applied at 1.0 to 2.0 fl oz per gallon and broadcasted on the surface but also around the exterior perimeter foundation.

    Q
    Is CB-80 safe to fog equipment in animal feed production equipment?
    Can CB-80 be used to kill Red Flour Beetles inside of machinery, ingredient bins, conveyors used to produce animal feed? Would it be deemed "Feed Safe"?
    A

    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.

    Q
    Can CB-80 Aerosol be used on ropes and lines connecting my boat to the land based dock to eradicate spiders and prevent spider webs?
    A

    CB-80 Aerosol cannot be used around bodies of water where there is aquatic life or chance of wind drift into bodies of water. 

    WebOut Cobweb Eliminator would be a better option as it kills spiders and prevents spider webs on any surface that may support spider web development. This product can also be used as a contact pesticide to kill ants, crickets, mosquitoes, cockroaches, perimeter pest insects and other general pests. This is a Ready To Use product and has a 30-60 day residual outdoors. 

    Please view the product label for more information.

    Q
    I have nest of German roaches living in the digital display if my oven. Will CB-80 benefit?
    Cockraches in the digital display of my GE glasstop stove/oven. A GE tech will be inspecting. I am curious if with the nozzle pipe in using this product, I would be able to kill the buggers?
    A

    CB-80 Aerosol is only a contact kill & does not leave any sort of residual. It is also not intended to be used inside appliances. Roaches have to come out to eat/drink water at some point, you may consider using Advion Cockroach Bait Arena near where they are. When they come out, they will feed on it & eventually perish

    Q
    How can I kill little flies? Can I use CB-80 Aerosol?
    These little flies comes up out of the sink every year around this time. Do you have a product especially to kill them and stop them from coming back?
    A

    CB-80 is a great option for knock down of flying insects. Without knowing what species of pest you are treating for or dealing with specifically, its hard to give accurate treatment information. We'd recommend looking at our Drain Fly Guide and our Fruit Fly Guide to determine which pest you are treating for, and to help locate and narrow down the primary areas/drains they are coming from in the home. The guides also go over step by step instructions for eliminating each pest, and have kits and product recommendations provided.

    Q
    Treating bugs inside house walls
    I recently saw a video where an exterminator drilled a hole into an exterior wall and sprayed CB-80 into it to kill wasps or ants. I want to use the same method to kill an ant colony that is coming up through cracks in our baseboards. Would you recommend drilling holes near the baseboards and spraying CH-80 into them - or is there a better chemical to use to kill an ant colony under a house?
    A

    CB-80 Aerosol can be used in wall voids per label. We would recommend taking a look at our ant treament guide.

    Q
    How often should you reapply CB-80 aerosol?
    After CB 80 has been used in the home how often would you recommend it be reapplied for home past prevention?
    A

    CB-80 Aerosol does not leave a residual, it is used for flush out and/or contact kill. If you are looking for an insecticide aerosol to spray on baseboards, cracks, and crevices that will leave a residual, you can use Cy-Kick Aerosol instead.

    No, CB-80 Aerosol - 17 oz. can is not labeled to kill termites. This is a pyrethrin aerosol that will kill insects that you spray directly with it, but we cannot recommend it for termites.

    Q
    Do you need to wipe every thing down after using in an room?
    I am treating for flies.
    A

    CB-80 Aerosol is a flushing and contact aerosol providing ultra-fast knockdown of flies.  However, there is no residual with this product so it will only kill the flies that come in direct contact with the spray.  You certainly can wipe everything down after using in a room, because again there is no residual with this prouct.  This spray will not kill the eggs, only the flies that come into contact with the spray.

    Q
    Can CB-80 Aerosol - 17 oz. can be sprayed near electric wires?
    There are wasps building a nest behind an outdoor porch light. I am planning to use Tempo dust but I want something to knock out the active ones first so I don't get stung. Will this work? I read that it can be used near electric junction boxes so I was hoping it could be used near an outdoor light.
    A

    CB-80 Aerosol - 17 oz. can should not be applied near anything electrical.  Stick with the Tempo Dust applied in the early morning or late evening when the wasps are less active and likely to sting.
