springtail control
By Anonymous on 07/29/2013
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.

Works great on contact but it's only a temporary solution
By Anne on 09/30/2014
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.

Not as effective
By Elizabeth on 09/25/2012
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

ok knockdown
By Matthew on 06/26/2017
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.

Be advised can stain/discolor tile grout or other porous sur
By Jason on 07/30/2022
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

Cy-Kick Aerosol
By Kristina on 11/05/2014
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.
Not sure how well this works

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.
