Cy-Kick CS Aerosol

How Cy-Kick CS Aerosol Works

Cy-Kick CS Aerosol is a ready-to-use pressurized insecticide with the active ingredient Cyfluthrin. Cyfluthrin is a synthetic pyrethroid made to mimic the effects on insects of naturally occurring pyrethrins, which are derived from the Chrysanthemum flower. Cyfluthrin attacks the central nervous system of target pests that come into contact with the direct spray or dried residual of Cy-Kick Aerosol.

Cy-Kick CS Aerosol uses SmartCap technology in its micro-encapsulated formulation to enhance residual effectiveness and durability on porous surfaces. Microencapsulation also creates optimal sized capsules for insects to pick up easily and quickly, leading to faster diffusion of the active ingredient into the exoskeleton of the pest.

Indoors

Crawling Insects: Apply as a spot treatment and/or Crack and Crevice treatment into hiding places such as cracks and crevices, moist areas and openings around pipes. Treat floors, walls, under pallets, behind shelves and drawers. Apply directly on insects in these locations where possible.

Bed Bugs: Apply to cracks and crevices where evidence of bed bugs occurs. This includes bed frames, box springs, inside empty dressers and clothes closets, carpet edges, high and low wall moldings and wallpaper edges. Do not use this product on mattresses, pillows, bed linens or clothes. Remove all clothes and other articles from dressers or clothes closets before application. Allow all treated areas to dry thoroughly before use. Not recommended for use as sole protection against bed bugs. If evidence of bed bugs is found in/on mattresses use products approved for this use.

Food Handling Establishments: Use is permitted in food/feed and non-food/feed areas of food/feed handling establishments as spot treatments or crack and crevice treatments. Cover or remove food from the area being treated. Do not apply directly to food or food handling surfaces. May be used in federally inspected meat and poultry plants.

Outdoors

Perimeter Treatment: For crawling insects, apply to cracks and crevices where insects may enter premises. Areas to be treated include, but are not limited to, weep holes, under siding, wall voids, soffits, around attic vents, cracks and crevices, openings around windows, doors, and pipes. Treatment of infested fences and tree holes is permitted. To help prevent infestations of buildings, treat a band of soil 6-10 feet wide around and adjacent to the building. Also, treat the building foundation to a height of 2-3 feet where pests are active and may find entrance. A rate of 14/sec per 100 sq. ft. is desirable.

Crawling Insects: For treatment of localized infestations of these insects in outdoor areas which are landscaped, planted, mulched or unmaintained, treat infested areas. For ants, wet hills and runways. Treatment of infested fences and tree holes is permitted.

Active and Hibernating Stages of Boxelder Bugs, Elm Leaf Beetles, Cluster Flies, and Clover Mites: Apply into cracks and crevices and/or voids where these insects may be harboring or hibernating. Infested areas may include cracks and crevices, behind siding, wall voids, around window and door frames.

Flying Insects: Treat outside surfaces of screens, doors, window frames or wherever these insects may enter the room. Also treat surfaces around light fixtures on porches, in garages, and other places where insects light or congregate. Treat normal fly resting areas such as ceilings, upper corners of the area, around windows and doors, light fixtures and other surfaces known to attract flies. Hold can 1 - 2 ft from target surface and apply at the rate of one 20 oz can/250 - 375 ft2 of surface area. Treat so as to lightly moisten the target surface. For best results, initiate treatment at the beginning of the fly season and repeat weekly during periods of heavy fly activity. For mosquitoes, treat shrubbery, vegetation, and other areas where mosquitoes may rest. Shrubbery and vegetation around stagnant pools, marshy areas, ponds and shorelines may be treated, but direct application of this product to any body of water is prohibited.
