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.
Cy Kick is labeled for bed bugs but would not be recommended as a sole treatment for bed bug treatment. Please take a moment to review our How to Treat for Bed Bugs for a full step by step guide on how to treat for bed bugs.
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
Cy-Kick CS can be applied indoors to the cracks and crevices for the treatment of scorpions and other listed pests. It is not labeled to be applied indoors as a broadcast for flea treatments so we recommend that you vacuum daily and apply Ultracide once every two weeks indoors for flea control. A minimum of two indoor applications of Ultracide is required. You may have to perform a third or fourth application depending on the level of fleas. We also recommend treating your pets and the outside of your home.
Yes, Cy-Kick CS can be used outdoors for mosquito control. It is recommended that you treat the grass and shrubs where the mosquitoes are. Please see our Mosquito Treatment Guide for more tips and information on treating this pest.
Yes, Cy-Kick CS can be applied in a hose end sprayer for application on gravel. It can be applied to the exterior listed areas on the product label once a month on the exterior of the structure. Also, you would want to spray the exterior wall of your house, spraying 2 to 3 feet up the side of the house, and 2 to 3 feet out on the ground to prevent insects from invading your home. Cy-Kick CS is a great choice for many insects that offers a great kill and residual. It will particulay good for scorpions also. It is mixed at 1-2 oz per gallon per 1,000 sq ft.
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.
Yes, Cy-Kick CS can be sprayed around the base of the tree where the scorpions live. We would further recommend looking at the reason the scorpions are so attracted to that particular tree. They do feast on other insects and live in mulch and rocks so those could be two reasons why they are living there. By looking at and modifying your property you can make it less favorable to scorpions. Scorpions are at any given place for three reasons: food, shelter and moisture. If you can remove or reduce any one of these needs you will reduce or eliminate the scorpions as well.
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.Yes, Cy-Kick CS can be used outdoors to kill cluster flies. It is recommended that you apply the product in cracks and crevices where the pest may harbor or hibernate. Do not repeat applications more than twice a week. Treatments need to be done at least 3 days apart. The mixing ratio is 1-2 fl. oz. per gallon of water.
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.
