    Q
    Will Cynoff EC leave a noticeable film on my dark siding?
    I notice that several of the cypermethrin based products say they leave a powdery film on dark surfaces. I want to spray my dark gray siding where I have a massive stink bug infestation. Does this product leave a similar film?
    A

    Cynoff EC will not leave a white powdery residue on dark siding. The products that leave that white powdery residues are in fact wettable powders and all have the letters WP in the product name (Cynoff WP, Demon WP).

    Q
    How long is the residual effect Cynoff EC expected to last?
    Cynoff EC is a residual pest control product. When used indoors I would expect it to be effective longer than when used outdoors. I read that it should be applied every two weeks for proper control of fleas, but that seems like a very short residual effect. So, how frequently should I treat with Cynoff EC for control of ants, roaches and flies?
    A

    Cynoff EC can be expected to last up to 30 days outdoors and up to 60 days indoors.  UV light and rain outside can deplete the residual outside, but UV light is the main culpret.  If one side of your home is in direct sunlight all day, then you may only get 3 weeks out of the product. …

    Q
    Is Cynoff EC safe to use with a well on the property?
    I just need to know that using this isn't going to hurt my well water. I also have horses and dogs on the property. What precautions should I use?
    A

    All people (except for the applicator) and animals need to be out of the area when Cynoff EC is being applied and they can return as soon as the area is dry. You should not treat closer than 15 ft to the well. Synthetic pyrethroids like Cynoff EC will not reconstitute once they are dry and are not k…

    I have 2 young cats and a 15 yo cat. I don't want to spray anything around my house or front & back door that would hurt them. I have a problem with dirt daubers. They've nearly ruined the red brick around my front door.

    Q
    Is Cynoff EC safe to use on vinyl siding?
    Using the recommended application with a fogger and mixed with light mineral oil.
    A

    Cynoff EC mixed with oil can cause staining on older siding or siding that is in need of paint. Homes with newer siding or freshly painted siding should be fine. Just to be safe, you should always test small inconspicous areas to be sure staining will not occur.

    Q
    What products are recommended for the control/elimination of Odorous House Ants?
    Odorous house ants are present in our home, around the exterior foundation, and throughout our landscaping. In certain locations, they seem to come from the walls. They only present themselves in the warm weather months and disappear during the cold winter months. I have used Cynoff EC in both interior and exterior applications with marginal results. I have used baits from the local hardware store, with Terro Liquid Ant Killer being the only product that they are attracted to. But the Terro seems to only provide limited control without eliminating them. I'm wondering if a dust application or some higher strength bait would provide better results. They are quite picky when it comes to baits, so selecting an effective one has been challenging. Please recommend some products that will help control/eliminate these little boogers!
    A

    For an outside treatment for Odorous house ants, Cynoff EC is good to use for outdoor use. Indoors, baits are good to use. A protein bait, Maxforce Complete Granular Bait and a sugar bait, Maxforce FC Ant Bait Gel are the baits that can be used inside. Ants will eat one or the other or both dependin…
