    Q
    Can I mix the Hi-Yield Sticker Spreader with Cy-Kick CS to make it last longer?
    A
    Cy-Kick CS is already desgined to last up to 90 days on outside surfaces and adding Hi-Yield Sticker Spreader will really not prolong that residual.

    Q
    Can Cy-Kick CS be mixed with Bifen IT?
    If so, will it help give the Bifen IT a residual boost?
    A

    These products should not be mixed together. There is no valid reason to mix Cy-Kick CS and Bifen IT together.  Bifen IT is a synthetic pyrethroid and Cy-Kick CS already contains a synthetic pyrethroid, so there would be nothing to gain by mixing these products together. Making a pesticide too strong can actually backfire. Areas that are treated with this overly concentrated spray will be repellent and insects will simply avoid the treated areas prolonging the infestation.

    Q
    Does Cy-Kick kill honey bees and fireflies?
    How can we keep it from killing them?
    A

    Cy-Kick is toxic to bees and fire flies. You would want to be sure to apply when bees are not pollinating. Or in areas that fire flies may not be populating.

    Q
    What should I use for a serious roach infestation?
    I purchased Cy-Kick CS. Will this work? Also, is it safe for my dog?
    A

    Cy-Kick CS is a great product and will do a great job towards helping you to get rid of roaches.  For best results, we also recommend that you use a roach bait gel to help get rid of roaches in places where you cannot spray, along with an insect growth regulator (IGR) which helps stop the roaches breeding cycle.  You may want to consider using one of our New York Roach Control Kits, as they contain all of these products together.  Pets and people need to be kept out of the area while products are being applied, but can return as soon as all surfaces are fully dry.  Please take a moment to look over our article on How to Get Rid of & Kill Roaches for more information on how to do a complete treatment for roaches.

  • Asked by Tobby from Murrieta Ca.
    09/03/2014
    Q
    Does Cy Kick CS kill roaches on contact?
    A

    No,Cy-Kick CS does not kill roaches on contact. It is a residual product and kills over time. The residual is up to 30 days outdoors and 90 days indoors.

    If you are looking for a contact kill, we would recommend using 565 PLUS XLO. This does not have a residual so once the product is dry, it is no longer working.

    Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

  • Asked by Bruce from United States

    Q
    Which is the best to keep scorpions out of your house? Demon Max, Demon WP or some other product?
    A

    Our most popular product for scorpions is Cy-Kick CS, which is microencapsulated so it has a long residual, but also packs a punch.  There are many good reviews on the Cy-Kick page about how it works on scorpions. We also recommend the following to our customers with scorpions for the most complete treatment.

    Non-insecticide methods for scorpion control are:

    Harborage Removal- Harborage removal is key to scorpion control and will greatly reduce the numbers of scorpions in the area surrounding the structure, making it far less likely that they will enter. Harborage removal includes eliminating piles of lumber, bricks, and other stacked items that create clusters of tight spaces, elimination of vegetation and other heavy ground coverings near homes and buildings, trimming back tree and shrub limbs from walls and roof, and keeping gutters clear of leaves and other debris.

    Exclusion- Scorpions and other pests can be kept out of structures to a large degree by installing tight-fitting screens, weatherstripping around doors and windows, and caulking cracks and crevices.

    Q
    I have been spraying CY-KICK (CS) monthly inside/outside my house since March.
    It has been successful in eliminating scorpions. We (in Arizona) are now in the Monsoon Season (rainy). My question is: does the rain affect the performance of the product or shall I continue using it as usual? Thank you.
    A
    Cy-Kick CS is a great general pest control for monthly outdoor control of scorpions and other common household insects. If applied on a dry day, it will hold up in the rain for 4 weeks.

    A
    No, you do not need a license to use Cy-Kick CS. We do carry professional products, but every product on our website can be sold to homeowners as long as you are using it for your own use and property.  You need a license when you are treating other peoples property for profit

    Q
    Can Exciter, Cy-Kick CS and Tekko Pro be mixed and applied together for spider control?
    My house mainly attracts roaches and spiders so I wanted to see if I could mix Tekko Pro with these two products and have it affect both pests. If that can't be done or if Tekko Pro isn't effective on spiders is there a mixable IGR for spiders?
    A

    Cy-Kick CS, Exciter and Tekko Pro can all be tank mixed and applied together.  However Tekko Pro is not labeled for spiders and will not be effective on them.  There are no insect growth regulators labeled for spiders.

    Q
    What type of sprayer can I use Cy-kick CS? Can I use same sprayer I use for weed control?
    I already know I want the Cy-Kick CS but I don't know what type of sprayer to get. Also, I have a backpack sprayer I fill with weed killer, but am conerned about trace amounts of chemical effecting the efficacy of both. Likewise, I don't know how corrosive Cy-Kick CS is and maybe I need a specific type of sprayer.
    A
    Any type of a pump sprayer will work with Cy kick. Just be sure to clean the sprayer out after every use. You do not want to use the same sprayer for insecticides and herbicides.

  • Asked by Sharon from Pa
    04/02/2012
    Q
    I have had a professional company treating my house for carpet beetles for six months with CY-Kick CS.
    We are treating all baseboards throughout the house, every two months. At present, there few larvae, but there are still numerous flying beetles, and most seem to be coming from a 20 x 20 ft room with "Vermont board siding", which has verticle spaces everywhere (every 4 to 6 inches). Is the baseboard Cy-Kick CS treatment sufficient or should I change the course. There is lots of vacuuming (discarding bags after use) of the entire house, all clothing in the house is in plastic bags and there are no issues with food. Any ideas or any source for detailed information on how to deal with a house wide issue with carpet beetles?
    A
    It is very important that the source of the infestation (where the damaging larva is harboring) is discovered and eliminated, not just the visible insects you see wandering around. Until you find out what that is and deal with it you will continue to get more of the carpet beetles emerging from hiding. Carpet beetles may be as likely to feed on grain based food materials as they are on animal byproducts. Pet foods stored in forgotten places, baking goods left too long in the cupboard, rodent baits tossed in the attic - all of these are quite susceptible to carpet beetle feeding. Plus, you also have the typical carpet beetle diets of dead insects (wasp nests in the attic, dead insects in window sills), feathers (bird nests, dead birds), hair (dead rodents, wool products, trophy mounts), and other things made from animal byproducts. Once the source of the infestation is removed or cleaned, use Cy-Kick CS and Gentrol IGR once a month until all of the beetles are gone. Gentrol IGR will help break the breeding cycle of the beetles and will help eliminate them for good.

    Q
    Scorpion Control Product
    I spend ridiculous amounts of money on professional pest services and I'm looking for a thriftier way to control pests in these harder economic times. I might be your next big customer. However, I can't skimp when it comes to the safety of my family. That said, we live in South Texas and have a huge Bark Scorpion population. Understanding my concern, how much Cy-Kick CS would be needed to maintain an effective barrier on a 2000 SF home? In other words, how many bottles would I need to order to create the proper mixture and application rate?
    A
    Cy-Kick CS will help prevent scorpion infestations of buildings, treat a band of soil 6 to 10 feet wide around and adjacent to the building. Also treat the building foundation to a height of 2 to 3 feet where pests are active and may find entrance. Treat other insect entry points such as doors, windows, under siding and eaves of structure. Cy-Kick CS may be applied in compressed air, backpack or power spray equipment. An application rate of 0.5 to 1.0 fluid ounce of Cy-Kick CS per 1000 sq. ft. is desirable. Apply in sufficient water to adequately cover the area being treated. Application should be made in such a manner to limit dripping and run-off on structural surfaces and plants. Essentially, one pint will give you approx. 16,000 square feet of treatment.

    Do I need to spray in the cool months with Cy-Kick CS or less-frequent?
    I am a new resident in Phoenix, AZ, using the Cy-Kick around my house every two months.
    A

    Cy-Kick CS is normally applied every three months. If you notice a decrease in pest activity during the cooler months, you can increase the time in between applications.

    Q
    How fast does Cy-Kick kill silverfish usually?
    A

    Cy-Kick CS will kill silverfish and other listed insects but not right away.  It is not a contact kill so they will not die as soon as they touch it, but it will start to work on their system and will start getting weaker and dying within a few hours of contact.

    Q
    Will Cykick CS kill termites in raised garden bed?
    I put in a raised garden bed this spring and ordered compost to fill it with. Now it is July and the compost is full of termites, workers and solders. will cy kick work on this and do I just apply it on top of the soil? They appear to only be in the raised bed.
    A

    Yes, Cy-Kick CS would kill exposed termites only as long as there are no edible plants in the garden such as vegetables. If there are edible plants in the area, then you could just pour boiling water on the insects. If there is raw wood around the edge of the bed, then you could treat the wood with Boracare or Timbor and then add a water-sealant to protect the wood from termites.

    Q
    Is it safe to let my dogs on the lawn right after treatment?
    A

    It is a good idea to keep pets away from the treated areas while it is still wet. Allow about 30 minutes for the Cy-Kick CS to dry, after that it is perfectly safe for pets to re-enter that area.
