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. You may also want to take a look at our article on How To Get Rid of Roaches.
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 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.
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.
The mixing rate of Cyper TC for scorpions is 0.65 fl oz per gallon of water. This can be done every 30 days around the perimeter of your home and areas where scorpions are.
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 is not designed to be used in a fogger at all, only sprayers or large mist blowers like a Solo 451. Using Cyper TC or any other insecticide not designed for a fogger could clog your equipment or lower the efficacy of the product, as the ingredients are not designed for this type of application. You may want to take a look at some of our Fogging Concentrates to see which best fits your needs and type of fogger.
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.
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 when applied as a trench will stay in the soil about 3 years.
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.
This could take time (many factors-when they actually reach the treated space to eradication) as Cyper TC is not immediate and will only eradicate those that come in contact with the treated areas during the four week residual. If you are treating for ants, baiting is very effective. Please check out our Ant Control Kits and treatment article for helpful tips.
Cyper TC is not labeled for use indoorsfor general pest control.
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.
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.
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.
We apologize for any confusion. To make a 1.0% solution, you would dilute 5.1 fl. oz. of Cyper TC per gallon of water for perimeter treatment. There is a dilution chart of page 5 of the product label. Keep in mind that this higher rate may be applied only twice per year.
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 should be mixed at 5.1 oz to 122 oz of water (1 gallon of finished solution) and 2 gallons to 48 gallons of water (50 gallon of finished solution) for a 0.1% emulsion. Please refer to the product label for the mixing chart and details on mixing for the area and insect that you are targeting/treating.
