Cyper TC is labeled for ambrosia beetles specifically. Once in the tree, Ambrosia Beetles are quite hard to treat for (no cure). We recommend to take down the trees that are already infected and chip them. Then you can protect the other trees by using a systemic product like Imidapro 4SC along with Cyper TC. We highly recommend consulting with a local arborist for further details on this tree and/or surrounding trees.
Cyper TC is not labeled for grubs nor earthworms/nightcrawlers. It will kill those ants that contact a treated area when used as directed on the product label. For Grub Control, we would recommend reviewing out How to Get Rid of Grubs Treatment Guide for the most effective treatement and products to use.
We do like to let our customers know there are currently no products on the market in the USA that are labeled for earthworms as they are largely beneficial creatures. There are a few known control methods that include cutting back on irrigation so that the worms will go deeper into the soil for the moisture they require to survive or fertilizing your lawn after a heavy rainfall which will eliminate some of the population.
Cyper TC is not labeled to be applied in a pasture. We would not recommend applying this product in a pasture where animals graze. Essentria All Purpose is one of the only products we are aware of that can be used for control of mosquitoes, flies, and other insects in grazing areas. This product is very safe to use around animals and even aquatic life. We would still recommend keeping any animals out of the treated area while you are spraying and until the product is dry, in case there is any sensitivity. Please be sure to review the product label for more information and complete application instructions.
For treating above ground for termites, Cyper TC is mixed at 1.3 to 5.1 fl oz per gallon of water. For termite trench applications, please visit the Post Contstruction Treatments Section starting on page 8 of the product label.
Cyper TC does have the potential to stain certain types of exterior vinyl siding, according to the product label, but there is no application information listed for use on fabrics or leather so applications to these areas is prohibited. The label does state, "During any indoor surface application, do not allow dripping or runoff to occur. During any application to ceilings of a structure, cover surface below with plastic shielding or similar material." Please always use as directed.
Cyper TC does not have poultry facilities or housing on their their label. There are other products for ticks that can be used around poultry housing like Onslaught. Please read over Onslaught label for complete instructions.
Cyper TC should not discolor anything when mixed properly. If you are concerned about sensitive surfaces, then you can test a small inconspicuous area, or you can stick with a water-based insecticide. We have a great Carpenter Bee Control Kit here which includes spray, dust, hand duster, and plugs to fill the holes.
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 only lasts about 90 days on the surface of wood, though it would not be recommended to make anything from the treated wood that would contact food unless you apply an appropriate sealant after.
You should be careful that Cyper TC does not get on porous surfaces like concrete since it is very oily. However, you should be able to wash the area with warm water, or use some soap or a scrubbing product like mineral salts if really needed (be sure you do not use anything that may harm a sealed driveway if you have one). If you have a serious spill, you can view instructions on the Safety Data Sheet here.
Yes, you can use Cyper TC for this treatment, but you do need to keep applications at least 20 feet away from the well.
Cyper TC may be harmful to honeybees if they come into contact with a treated surface. We suggest applying the product when honeybees are not active.
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.
Cyper TC is not labeled for use indoorsfor general pest control.
Unfortunately there is not a product on the market that is labeled or recommended for hookworms so we cannot recommend using Cyper TC to treat them. While some insecticides that are labeled for turf or lawn infesting insect may work, there has not been enough research to add hookworms to the product labels and none would kill the eggs. We recommend that all animals be moved out of the contaminated area for at least 1 year (during warm spring/summer months, longer during cool winter/fall months) and all feces be removed. Keeping the animals out of the contaminated area for at least 1 year should help control the infestation pattern. It is also important to remove feces from the new latrine area to avoid another infestation. Another option is to remove the contaminated soil and replace if you cannot keep out for 1 year
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.
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.).
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.
Yes, Cyper TC can be applied with a hose end sprayer.
