  • Asked by Rick from Amarillo, Texas

    Q
    I need a good preventative spay. What do you recommend?
    I am looking for a good preventive spay for indoor and outdoor use, does not have to be the same product. No bug related issues, so just something to prevent any future problems. Amarillo Texas is in the top of Texas, we have a 3000 sq ft home. I have pump type 2 gallon sprayer.
    A
    Cy-Kick CS is an ideal broad-spectrum insecticide for prevention, maintenance, or active infestations of over 55 common structural pests in residential and commercial applications. SmartCap Technology makes Cy-Kick CS ideal for a variety of surfaces, including porous and highly absorbent areas like concrete and mulch. SmartCap microencapsulation also increase the residual life of Cy-Kick CS to up to 90 days, making it ideal for quarterly pest control treatments. Because Cy-Kick CS is a microencapsulated suspension, it is more resilient in direct sunlight and more easily picked up by tough pests such as cockroaches, scorpions, and mosquitoes.

    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 M from Kerrville, Tx
    05/02/2015
    Q
    I'm looking for a product like Demand CS or Cyonara. Cyonarra is cheap but is very odorous, what else might have lambda cyhalothrin in it for scorpions?
    A
    Cy-kick CS is virtually odorless, and will not create a visible residue or stain when used according to the recommended label rate. It is very reasonably priced and great for treating scorpions and other listed insects. White it does not contain the active ingredient you are seeking, it will be another great synthetic pyrethroid for control.

    05/18/2015
    Q
    Can I get one pesticide that is the best for outdoor and indoor use? Or should I get one for each?
    I was thinking Cy-Kick CS for outdoor use. I have two cats and will soon have children so I wanted something safe for indoor as well. Would Cy-Kick CS be the best for both uses? Also if I get two would I need to get two sprayers so they do not mix? As a side note, is Cy-Kick CS the best one for general stopping invading insects? I think we mostly see spiders as of now.
    A
    Cy-Kick CS is a fantastic outdoor and indoor general use insecticide that is safe for children and pets as long as they are kept out of the treated area until the insecticide has dried. Drying time is normally an hour or two.

    Q
    My wife is terrified for my health, so I was wondering if there is any standard PPE recommended to use when applying a spray. Say specifically Cy-Kick CS would I need to wear anything? Is a gas mask overkill?
    A
    We recommend that you follow the product label and MSDS for information on protective equipment when applying insecticides as they can vary. The MSDS for Cy-Kick CS recommends that you wear basic protective gear. We do carry a Basic Safety Kit on our website and offer free shipping! Please let us know if you need anything else.

    Q
    Can I use Cy-Kick CS on my lawn that has a large pecan tree? I would like to treat mosquitoes in my yard but I have a large pecan tree that I don't want to harm (it or the pecans themselves).
    A
    Cy-Kick CS is not safe to treat on or near nut trees including pecans. You can use it in the lawn because it wont leach into the soil. We would not recommend applying right up against the tree. You can use Monterey Fruit tree spray. Please let us know if you have any more questions.

    Q
    What are the differences between CyKick CS and Demand CS?
    I was stung by a scorpion, and had to have the anti-venom, ended up in Cardiac ICU, and apparently it could have killed me. I also have a 3 year old son who probably has my same allergies. I'm looking for a strong scorpion insecticide, but still have to be careful having a 3 year old running around.
    A
    The best Scorpion control would be Cykick CS. They have different active ingredients, CyKick CS seems to work better on scorpions and will stand up to UV rays longer without breaking down.

    Q
    When Cy-Kick is dry, is it safe for children and pets? Does Cy-Kick kill ant colonies or just the ants that touch the treated surfaces?
    A
    Cy-Kick is safe if the children and pets are not in the area during application. They can return when the treated surfaces are completely dry. The ants will only be eradicated if they come in to contact with the treated surfaces.

  • Asked by Kevin from Gilbert, Az
    06/20/2015
    Q
    Is it better to alternate products ? I have used CyKick for a couple years, spraying monthly.
    Does continual use of the same product eventually affect the effectiveness of the product.
    A
    It can be helpful to change the product you are using to help prevent resistance issues with pests over long periods of time. That being said, we also are firm believers in sticking with a product that is working well, so if you aren't seeing any problems with the Cy-kick currently or noticing it not lasting as long as before, then you could certainly keep using it on a montly basis. A great product you could alternate to though for a huge range of pests would be Temprid SC.

    A
    Cy-Kick CS requires 1 fl. oz. per gallon of water. This is two tablespoons or six teaspoons per gallon of water. It can be set to either if you are putting the right amount of product in the sprayer.

  • Asked by Harlan from Phoenix, Az
    07/02/2015
    Q
    Is Cy-Kick CS safe around cats?
    I know some products such as permethrin are okay for dogs but can cause seizure in cats. If I use this as a perimeter around my house and a cricket gets through with this stuff on him, will my cat be ok if he then eats the cricket which in turn had Cy-Kick in or on him?
    A
    Cy-Kick CS is pet safe when used as directed on the product label.  Pets should be out of the area until dry.  The small amount of active ingredient is only enough to kill an insect, for it to harm your cat they would have to eat their body weight or more in insects that were killed with the product.

    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.

  • Asked by Joleen from San Diego, California
    07/07/2015
    Q
    Does Cy-Kick CS work on bird mites?
    A

    Cy-Kick CS is not labeled for bird mites. 

    It is important to be absolutely sure you are actually dealing with bird mites. We would recommend having a pest control company come out and do an inspection and/or getting a sample and taking it down to your local cooperative extension office. In the mean time, there are things that can be used for your situation. Sterifab  can be used on couches, chairs and other upholstered furniture where you may spend time resting. This is a contact kill and will not leave any residual. Onslaught can also be used for a faster knockdown. Thoroughly apply as a fine particle broadcast spray using a hand pump sprayer to infested rugs and carpets and other cracks and crevices around the perimeter of each room. This is a residual and can be used every 90 days indoors. You can also put all clothes through the dryer on high heat to help kill mites and their eggs

    We have had many customers use the above recommendations with great success. Most customers report that it can take several months to get rid of all of the mites. Finding and removing the source of the infestation is very important and is the key to getting rid of the mites for good.

    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.

  • Asked by Alfredo from Roosevelt, Utah
    07/14/2015
    Q
    What kind of a fogger do you recommend for crawl spaces for spiders?
    Would you recommend fogging crawl spaces?
    A

    Any of the fogging solutions, like ULD BP 100 could be used to fog for spiders in a crawl space.  Any spiders that are exposed at the time of the fogging will be eliminated, but that is it.

    For indoor use, instead of fogging we recommend spraying a residual insecticide such as Cy-Kick CS into the cracks and crevices around door and window frames, baseboards, under appliances and in places where cables, pipes and wires enter through the walls.

    You can also use Cy-Kick CS to spray around the exterior on the foundation, door and window frames, around places where cables, pipes and wires enter into the structure and any other crack, crevice or hole where insects can gain entry. By using the residual insecticide inside and outside you will be eliminating hidden spiders that come out to hunt and also the insects that they are there to prey on. By eliminating the spiders' food source, you will be forcing the spiders to move out and you will be making the structures less desirable to other spiders looking for new hunting grounds. See our Spider Control Guide for more information about controlling spiders.
