Cynoff WP (similar to Cyper WP) insecticide is a loose white powder that is mixed with water. It can be applied as a crack and crevice and/or spot treatment for residual and contact control of target pests. Cynoff WP has a residual of up to 3 months. 1x 1lb. container of Cynoff WP yields up to 48 gallons of finished product. NOTE: Cynoff WP is the exact same product as Demon WP, but less expensive.
Cynoff WP (Wettable Powder) is excellent for larger, tougher pests such as cockroaches, spiders, scorpions, or stink bugs because there is a high concentration of active ingredient. The wettable powder formulation also makes Cynoff WP ideal for porous surfaces such as concrete since the individual particles of active ingredient are larger and can more easily stay on top of the surface.
Cynoff WP leaves a white powdery film that may be visible on darker surfaces. For applications where this is a concern, consider using a liquid concentrate instead.
ACTIVE INGREDIENT: Cypermethrin 40%
Best applied with a 1 gallon sprayer. Apply to outside foundation and all entry points such as around windows, doors, cracks and crevices, etc. Cynoff WP is very toxic to fish. Do not apply near bodies of water or where there may be water run-off. Always read the label completely before use.
Fill sprayer with one half of the desired volume of water, add Cynoff WP, and fill to desired volume. Close and shake before use in order to insure proper suspension of the wettable powder. Shake or re-agitate the sprayer before use if spraying is interrupted. Mix only the amount of solution needed for the application.
*Retreatment may be necessary to achieve and/or maintain control during periods of high pest pressure. Repeat application is necessary only if there are signs of renewed insect activity.
*Repeat application should be limited to no more than once per seven days.
Each 1 pound jar of Cynoff WP makes 24-48 gallons of finished solution.
*1 scoop (0.33 oz.)/gal. of water – 0.1% – maintenance, more frequent applications, foliar applications
* 2 scoops (0.66 oz.)/gal. of water – 0.2% -- clean-out, severe infestations, exterior applications that receive more direct sunlight
*For Perimeter Barrier Applications around Structures – Mix 1-2 scoops of Cyper WP in 1-5 gallons of water to cover 800-1600 square feet. Higher volumes may be needed for dense vegetation or landscaping materials.
*1 scoop is the equivalent of 0.33 oz., 9.5 gm., or 2 level tablespoons

*Store concentrate out of direct sunlight and extreme temperatures for maximum shelf life of 3+ years.
*Not labeled for use on edible plants
*Exposure to direct sunlight will break down residual more quickly, so applications may need to be made more frequently in these areas.
*Cynoff WP is not suitable as a space spray with equipment such as misters, foggers, or aerosol equipment. The product will clog or damage the equipment and is not labeled for this use.
The best stuff!

I must agree , this is far better than calling a pest control company, and it works very well. Cynoff WP killed my roach problem and I have not seen any roaches in 5 months. I have seen plenty of dead ones that I can scoop up and throw away. If you have roaches or other bugs causing you problems this is THE BEST STUFF . It goes on wet and dries to a power that is hardly noticeable but the main thing is it is CHEAP and it will work, you will be happy. Don't call pest control until you try this first...it will save you lots of money.

Kill is almost instant!
By D.j. on 03/20/2007
I've used Cynoff WP as a drench for fire ants after opening the mound with rebar. I pour about a gallon down in the hole. The kill is almost instant! I also use it as an exterior spray every 3 months and it keeps out nearly all bugs! Thanks for making it available to the homeowner. I've recommended this product and your site to many friends and neighbors!

This Stuff is Fantastic; Works Great!

I was skeptical at first when my husband ordered because I never heard of the product (and thought was a little pricey) but it really works. We used it to eliminate wasps that build nests under our porches and siding, and were surprised to see the results. Spiders and other bugs were falling out, along with the wasps. We will definitely use this product again.

I have been told that there's not a pesticide that will kill this type of scorpion, and Cynoff WP only kills off their food supply which will make them move. What product do you recommend if it isn't Cynoff WP?

My barn is 100 long by 60 feet wide with 14 foot walls. The siding is all wood and most of it is exposed at this time as the stain has worn off. This has provided excellent staging for bees, hornets and wasps. I intend to stain the entire barn, but I'd like to get rid of the stinging bugs first. Can I spray Cynoff WP on the entire exterior walls of the barn to effectively reduce the massive numbers of wasps, hornets and bees? If not this, what should I do?

I understand that it dries to a powdery film. Could this film transfer onto my cats feet and coat at all, to later be ingested?
