Cyonara 9.7 Insecticide - Questions & Answers

Cyonara 9.7 and Demand CS have the exact same active ingredient, Lambda-Cyhalothrin at the exact same concentration, 9.7%. Cyonara 9.7 is the generic brand of Demand CS and they are very similar. The main difference between the products is that the Demand CS is micro-encapsulated and the Cyonara 9.7 is not. Micro-encapsulation means that the active ingredient is contained in thousands of microscopic capsules that slowly release the product as the capsule dries out after the application. This helps the product be slightly less repellent to insects and helps the product last for a bit longer than other products. Equil Lambda CS is micro-encapsulated which means it stays stronger and more effective longer.

Cyonara is not an instant knockdown insecticide. It could take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours for bed bugs that contact the direct spray or treated areas to die, depending on the size and health of the insect and how much active ingredient they contact. Keep in mind that you should plan on doing follow-up treatments for bed bugs until you have had 30 days with no signs of bed bug activity. We have more information and treatment tips in our Bed Bug Treatment Guide online here.

While you have given a great description of the spider, we could not safe for certain without seeing a picture of the pest. Is there any way you can take a few clear pictures of either the one in the jar or the one that replaced the one you caught? This will allow us to make a proper identification. If you can, email the picture to [email protected]. That being said, no spider species is really any harder to kill than another, so even if it was a black or brown widow, the method would be the same for treatment as it would if it were the granddaddy long legged spider, wolf spider or any other species. You can use a product like Cyonara 9.7 indoors around baseboards and cracks and crevices, around window and door frames, and all around the foundation of the home outside. You will want to spray 2-3 feet up on the side of the home and 3-4 feet out on the ground, and around any other points of entry for the pest. Also, keep in mind when you have spiders around the home they are there because they have a plentiful food source so anything you have around the home (flower beds with pine straw or mulch, landscape rock, etc) that could be providing great shelter and living conditions for the spiders food sources needs to be treated heavily as well to deter them from the home.
