    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
    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
    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.

    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.

    Q
    Is Cy-Kick CS effective when sprayed from a backpack mist blower to prevent mosquitoes?
    A

    Cy-Kick CS could be applied for mosquitoes.  However, because it is microencapsulated it would not have a very quick kill initially because the microcaps slowly release insecticide over time. This product has a long residual, but not a good first punch.  Our most popular product for mosquito control actually combines a good quick knock down with a long residual, and it is called Talstar P.

    Q
    What is the best way to get away from cockroaches? Which might be the best product for it ?
    I have been facing cockroaches problem in my house. I tried various pest control but still I could able to stay away from them . So what could be the best way to control it ?
    A

    We have had exemplary performance out of our Roach control kits.  The Roach Control Kit is perfect for roach control problems in homes and apartments. This professional kit includes 1 packet of Demon WP Insecticide (which makes 4 gallons of finished solution) for spraying the outside perimeter of the home and inside underneath appliances, behind cabinets, under toilets and sinks, etc. You'll also get 4 x 35 gram tubes of Invict Gold Roach Bait Gel--one of the best roach baits on the market. Invict Gold can be applied up high in the kitchen in the corner of cabinets and in cracks and crevices in kitchens and bathrooms. The bait contains a slow-acting poison that attracts and kills feeding roaches, who also spread the bait to other roaches by contact or by sharing food. Finally, 20 Gentrol Point Source stations provide an IGR (Insect Growth Regulator) that will stop roaches from laying eggs, helping to halt the infestation. The combination of an IGR with roach bait is a highly effective roach control strategy that is widely used by pest control professionals. Demon WP must be applied with a 1 gallon pump sprayer, like the Chapin 1 gallon sprayer.

    Q
    Cy-Kick-CS
    I have found Cy Kick to kill most everything I wanted but I have never tried it on Fire Ants. Is it a good product for that? If not,what should I order?
    A
    Cy Kick CS is labeled for fire ants however Extinguish Fire Ant Bait is our most popular ant bait. Applied as a broadcast application use 1.5-2 lbs. per acre and for ndividual mounds treatment, use 2-5 tablespoons. Keep in mind, Ants must be foraging for this to work. You should not apply this product in the late fall or winter of ants are not foraging...it will not work! Also, bait must remain dry. Do not apply if it is going to rain within 8 hours.

    Q
    Would Cy-Kick CS be the best pesticide for earwigs outside?
    I just sprayed Cy-Kick CS at maximum concentrate and the earwigs walk thru it and hang out in it like they are immune. Later that night they are just lounging where I sprayed. Alive and well? Thanks in advance
    A

    Cy-Kick CS is labeled for Earwigs and will definitely kill them, you just have to give the product time to work. The product does not kill on contact and since it's a microencapsulated product, it sticks better to surfaces and to the insects' hairs and body. We recommend reading our article Getting Rid of Earwigs for more information.

    Q
    What is the rate of application for Cy-Kick CS for mosquito control?
    A

    When using Cy-Kick CS you can use between 1-2 ounces per gallon of water. I recommend that you spray all shrubery and vegetation where mosquitoes may rest. Make sure that you spray underneath leaves as well since this is where mosquitoes lay their eggs. If you have anymore questions about mosquito control, please read over our Mosquito Control Page

    Q
    Does CY-Kick CS kill ticks? How wide a path do I spray outside of fencing to kill them?
    A

    Yes, you could use Cy-Kick CS to kill ticks outdoors. You should spray the entire affected area when treating for ticks, but pay extra attention to areas of dense brush, tall grasses, yard debris, and shady areas where animals like to spend time. If you are spraying to create a barrier, then we would recommend treating at least 5-10 feet from the fenceline. You can learn more in our Tick Treatment Guide here.

  • Asked by Katrina from Rialto Ca

    Q
    Which product of these three will be best for me? Cy-kick CS vs Termidor or Tempo
    I need help in determining which product is best for me. I live in Southern California and have an array of pest: spiders including black widows, ants, slugs, crickets, mosquitoes, wasp, silverfish, termites, etc. What is the best product for me to use? Is there one product or do I need all three?
    A
    Tempo SC or Cy-Kick CS both would be great options for you to use around your home and inside to control pretty much all the pests you mentioned and then some. Termidor would only be used if you are doing a trench treatment around the foundation of the home for subterranean termites, or if you were drilling a hole in a wall to spray it directly on a termite colony as a spot treatment.
