Cyper TC when applied as a trench will stay in the soil about 3 years.
We cannot be certain of how much and where exactly it was treated and the distance of the well. We recommend that you contact the pest control company and manufacturer (Control Solutions 800-281-2500) for information on the treatment applied to your home.
For treating a yard, you should apply 1 ounce of Cyper TC per 1000 square feet. It does not matter if the 1 ounce you are applying is in 1 gallon of water, or 10 gallons of water, it's really however much water it takes to cover a 1000 square feet. So depending on your sprayer, if it takes you 2 gallons to cover a 10 x 100 square foot area than you would add 1 ounce to every 2 gallons in your sprayer for every 1000 square feet of yard.
You will mix between 0.5-2 gallons of Cyper TC to make 50 gallons of mixture depending on the application. Please refer to the product label for complete mixing instructions for the targeted pest.
For most general pest control applications, you will use 0.5 fl oz of Cyper TC per gallon of water. Please refer to the product label for complete application instructions.
The Chapin Wet / Dry Hose-End Sprayer #6005 or Ortho Dial N Spray Hose End Sprayer would be a decent choice for hose end sprayer applications. For the most accurate application, we suggust using a hand pump sprayer as calibrating the hose end sprayer to disburse the right amount of product per gallon of water is not always the most accurate.
Cyper TC is not labeled for use indoorsfor general pest control.
It is safe to return to areas treated with Cyper TC once dry when applied as directed on the product label, typically within 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Dogs can be allowed outside as soon as Cyper TC has dried. Cyper TC is not labeled for indoor use so we would not recommend it for roach control in the kitchen. Instead, we would recommend that you use one of our Roach Control Kits. The kits contain everything you would need to completely eradicate a roach infestation.

Cyper TC is labeled for a variety of roaches. This should not be the only item being used when treating for a roach infestation. It is also recommended that you use a bait gel, such as Maxforce Magnum, in combintation with an insect growth regulator, IGR, such as Gentrol IGR.
Please check out our Roach Guide for tips on how to treat and prevent roaches.
Cyper TC should be mixed at 5.1 oz to 122 oz of water (1 gallon of finished solution) for a 0.1% emulsion.
Cyper TC is safe when used as directed on the product label. As long as you keep pets/animals out of the area while you treat and until the product has had time to completely dry or settle it is safe for pets and people to return and resume normal activity typically after 4-6 hours.
Cyper TC only has a residual of about 30 days outside and 90 days inside on surfaces so would not provide a full year of killing insects and there is not an insecticide that would do so.
No, Cyper TC and Suspend SC cannot be mixed together and used indoors for roach control. Cyper TC is not labeled for use indoors for roach control. We recommend that you use our one of our Roach Control Kits for indoor treatment of roaches.
No Cyper TC can not be sprayed on asphalt or pavement to treat for fleas. No insecticides are labeled for that type of use. Apply to all the surrounding areas to treat for the fleas (ie lawn, ornamentals, landscaped areas, etc.).
No, Cyper TC cannot be mixed with with malathion. It is never a good idea to try to mix insecticides unless the label instructions clearly state that you can do so. Mixing insecticides can cause them to not work properly.
Cyper TC should not be used around bodies of water as it is toxic to aquatic life. A good choice for general insect control on a dock around a pond would be Essentria IC3.
