Customer Reviews for Cy-Kick Aerosol

Did not work like other reviews. Seems like the roaches feed on it. Will have to try something else. Also did not like how it sprayed.

The spray straw was too short to reach under baseboard where crickets were. When you tilt can to make it reach...it quits spraying. Eventually the can just quit spraying at all leaving partial can of liquid that you cannot get out of can. For such an expensive item, you expect more, even the insect spray killer you buy at the hardware store sprays to the bottom of the can. It might be a good product, if you could get enough of it out of the can to spray. VERY DISAPPOINTED!!!!!

The spray did nothing. It'd like the roaches are laughing at my for buying this junk

  Expert response:
Cy-Kick Aerosol is an excellent residual crack and crevice spray that we would recommend to use as part of a roach control program. However, we do recommend to use both a roach bait gel and an Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) in conjunction with sprays when treating for roaches. Roach baits have the ability to transfer to roaches that you do not see, while a spray such as Cy-Kick will only affect the roaches that come into contact with the direct spray or the residual where you have applied it. The IGR is like birth control for bugs, so this helps to prevent younger stages from developing into adults. We do sell a bait and IGR together in our Roach Control Kit #1: http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/roach-control-kit-p-1058.html. You can also read more about roach control in our article here: http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/how-to-get-rid-of-german-roaches-a-245.html We are also always happy to assist you over the telephone at 866-581-7378 M-F 9a-5p EST.

i sprayed ridiculous amounts of this stuff in every single crack in my house. A roach will only crawl a little slower if you spray directly on him and will get away before you witness him die.. Roaches still crawl out of cracks that was sprayed yesterday. Cy-Kick is not effective at all on german cockroaches.

The spray didnt have any effect on the roaches. The only way that it killed them was to spray them directly, other than that we sprayed many p

this diary did not keep killing the panty moths still in my pantry. Plus the red sprays sticks did not fit on the spray plug. Very frustrated .

Small plastic straw thing -- could not figure out how to get it on. Using just the press button I got it all over my fingers and hand. Probably won't use the rest of it. Some instructions on just how to properly use it would have been great for me

After reading the reviews, I thought I had finally found a product that works. I live in Texas and have a small bark scorpion infestation in the house. Not a problem, until i awoke to one crawling on my hand. Then i ordered this product. I sprayed the cracks as advised and waited to see one out and about. The next day, there was one on the living room floor. I directly sprayed him and he stopped moving immediately. I was overjoyed. Then, about 40 seconds later, he got up and ran under the counter. I have since seen 2 more scorpions in the house, which I just stepped on. So, although I had high hopes, this product did not work for me.

Bedbugs? Please note that although the liquid Cy-Kick CS lists bedbugs on the label, the aerosol does not, nor are bedbugs mentioned in the instructions. I tried it anyway and it seems to have had an immediate effect but only for a couple of days. Repeated applications (twice more) with the same results. Either it is too weak or I applied it incorrectly, but I believe the bugs would have had to walk through the stuff to get at me.

This stuff works well and the ants won't go to the same spot for sveral days but eventually come back so I don't know that it's residual power is so good. Whenorkin used this in my office at work, we never saw ants again so i am not sure if it is a differnt formulation.

Highly recommended by domywonpestcontrol for killing and controlling spiders and other pest. Product goes quickly and did not control spider population outdoors nor indoors for the price.

This didn't work at all on my springtails. I guess I expected to see an obvious kill. I am not overwhelmed with springtails, just one or two here and there in our two bathrooms. I've checked for leaks but found nothing. I have recently tried to seal all crevices to eliminate access. I still love Do My Own Pest Control. In these same bathrooms I had a problem with silverfish a year ago but with your product Suspend SC they are gone.

Product itself works great for the carpenter bees and wasp nests, however, I think the can I received is defective. It leaks badly to the point I have to wear long gloves BUT when having to spray something over my head, it defeats the purpose because it will still run down my arm. First time using it ran down my arm so fast and I had to run to the utility sink in the garage to wash it off quickly. Makes me leary to buy any more.....

I have just finished with the 2 bottles of Cy-Kick Aerosol around the house but still found ants coming inside. I have put the Max Force FC Ant Bait Gel around the vents underneath and in the outside perimeters and then spray with Cy-Kick. It has been quite effective when I don't see them around for about 3 months. It is not as effective this time. Please suggest a more effective product and give me instructions on the best way to apply. Thank you for your help and kind regards, Elizabeth Sackett

I bought this to eliminate springtails on my window sills. It seems to be very temporary. It works for a few days at the most but that is more than anything else has worked. These things are apparently very difficult to get rid of.

We've been having problems with springtails this year coming into the house. It's not a big infestation but it's annoying when they keep showing up on your kitchen/bathroom counter and sink areas (usually about 3-10 springtails at once). We have used this product, while it kills them and keeps them away, it only does the job temporary (springtails free for 1-2 days). My husband can't smell it but this product leaves behind a chemically mild odor so I would recommend leaving the windows open when using this product.

  Expert response:
When treating springtails, it is very important to locate and resolve the moisture issue that is creating the environment where these prolific pests breed. Chemical control alone will provide only minimal results, regardless of which products you use.

I had a major moth problem, with adult moths and larva. I tried many things: I had an exterminator come out, he sprayed, but said I needed to find the source, well I threw everything out, said to find the source, I couldn't find the source, so still not sure where they came from, I ordered all natural spray that uses essential oils, it seemed to help, all the while cleaning with hot, soapy water every single day and vacuuming continuously, almost two months passed, I ordered the Cy-Kick Aerosol, I was able to get into the crevices behind the counters and such. I still have some adults moths and the occasional larva, but I believed it has help. The only issue I have is leakage. As soon as I put the stick in to reach the crevices it leaked and sometime the sprayer would stick and continue to spray.

We have a pantry moth problem. We've cleaned everything top to bottom but still kept getting moths. We ordered this product upon recommendation of customer service. I like that I can spray this into cracks and crevices but we are still getting moths. We aren't sure if the spray is ineffective or if we are missing where they are nesting. We will keep applying it to see if it finally eradicates the problem.

The product did not kill on contact. However, the company was gracious to refund our money. We used Ortho Wasp & Hornet spray to get rid of the bees.

I only treated one can of this stuff tho see if it will have any impact of these roaches. I'm not sure what type of German roaches these are but they are done kid pig super breed. The knock down feature was impressive but again a can of raid does the same. I was looking for more of a residual kill and for a week it seem to have an affect but that was it.

The reviews were so good I ordered 2. One came with broken nozzle. Still works but messy. Too soon to tell how well it works. Fingers crossed.

This product contains petroleum distillates (=OIL) and can stain/discolor porous surfaces. It's a very effective permethrin insecticide however i'll be looking for an alternative that's safer for all surfaces it might get on

I think it does work as described. Only one problem for me. The Applicator that was sent with the spray can will not fit into the hole in the top of the can. It apparently is too large. That's why I can not rate it any higher.

Well, I ordered the Cy-Kick Aerosol can and was impressed by the show Verminator on Discovery Channel. I have many different chemicals, but decided to try this one!

I have a spider problem outside on my deck and deck railing. There are lots of hiding places in the cracks between the boards. This product kills on contact, but doesn't seem to get the ones that are not directly hit. I was hoping that the ones missed by the spray would crawl into the treated area and die, but that doesn't happen.

For years, I was on a yearly pest control plan with a local (and well-known) pest control company. The cost for the plan was much higher than the cost of this product.  To be fair though, I realize that many people would rather "leave it to the pros" and that's fine, but if you're on a budget, this is definitely the way to go.

Does the job but a little sloppy after application. I used a folded paper towel later to clean up the residue. It murdered the little s o b's that is all I care about.

I have had a massive flour beetle problem in my home, mainly kitchen, for just about a year now. I tried everything! Though I'd take a chance on this. It has been working very well, I am seeing less and less of the bugs, and when I do see them they are usually dead. I have a feeling I am going to have to repeat the process for a good 3 months before they're all gone, because they breed and then more show up. This can is very large, so it goes very far, I have been using it once a week for 3-4 weeks now ans still have 1/4 can left. The spray does have an odor, but not too bad. Overall I am satisfied with the product, the reason for 4 stars is that it doesn't eradicate the bugs fast enough, it requires continued use and constant spraying in the crack/crevices.
