We advise to not use both product in the same treated area as the chemicals will not work effectively when applied on top of one another. You can apply the Demand G under mulch, pinestraw, logs, or wood chips with a hand spreader according to the product label. With Cy-Kick CS we advise to spray with a hand pump sprayer of the surface of the foundation, walkways, or other surfaces where springtails are active.
Demand CS and Cy-Kick CS each have a residual of up to 90 days, however you can apply more often for active insect infestations. We also recommend using a roach bait gel and an Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) for the best control of this pest. Please see our article How to Get Rid of Roaches for more tips.
Cy-Kick CS and the Demand CS are both great products for spider control. However, neither list Brown Recluse specifically on their product label.

Yes, Cy-Kick is one of the best products that we have to treat for scorpions. We do recommend that you rotate to other products from time to time. You can rotate with Demand CS, which is another great choice. You have to create a wide barrier with it around your home, much more than you would for regular insects as scorpions' exoskeletons are harder to penetrate.

Synthetic pyrethroids are man-made insecticides created to mimic the chemical properties of the naturally-occurring insecticide pyrethrum, which comes from the crushed petals of the Chrysanthemum flower. Synthetic pyrethroids, like cyfluthrin, are often preferred to the real thing as an active ingredient because they offer the added bonus of remaining effective for longer periods of time, sometimes up to 3 months.
