No, Cy-Kick CS is not labeled for cut-worms. We would recommend using Hi-Yield Indoor/Outdoor 10% Permethrin Insecticide. This product is labeled for cut-worms. The mixing ratio is 0.5 oz. per 3 gallons of water per 1,000 sq. ft.
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.

Cy-Kick CS is labeled for Earwigs and will definitely kill them, you just have to give the product time to work.

We recommend reading our article Getting Rid of Earwigs for more information.
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. We have a great guide here as well Mosquito Control Article. We are not aware of anything being added to Cy-Kick nor the product that you mentioned. Being a microencapsulated product it would generally hold up very well on surfaces alone.

Treatments need to be done at least 3 days apart. The mixing ratio is 1-2 fl. oz. per gallon of water. Unfortunately, this product cannot be shipped to NY unless you have a pest control license.
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.

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.

For long term treatment in undisturbed areas, using a dust in wall voids, such as cracks and crevices, wall voids, around pipes, and entry points will also help to treat those hard to reach areas where insects hide. Delta Dust works well in high moisture areas and will last for up to 8 months in undisturbed areas. You may apply the dust in the same areas where you have applied Cy Kick CS, you just want to allow the liquid time to dry before puffing into the area. You may also, take light plate switches and outlet covers off the walls to access the wall void area.

The exterminators list the percentage of active ingredient used to signal the use rate on their invoices, not the percentage in the bottle as they are not using it undiluted.
