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.
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 to kill grubs. Please review our treatment guide with more helpful information on grub control.
Stryker Wasp and Hornet Killer will kill wasps on contact up to 20 ft. away. For cicada killer wasps, it is commonly recommended to use Delta Dust in each individual burrow. Cicada Killer wasps thrive in disturbed environments, such as landscaped yards and places where bare soil is exposed. You can discourage the wasps from nesting in your yard by cutting your grass on the highest setting and by adding a thick layer of mulch to flower beds during the Cicada Killer Wasp season. These wasps do not like over-saturated lawns either, so overwatering during their season will help prevent them. Unfortunately, there is no foolproof way to prevent cicada killer wasps.
Cyper TC is not labeled to be used around anything edible. Any fruit that was contacted should be discarded and not consumed if treated with Cyper TC and no fruit eaten from the tree for at least the growing season.
Cyper TC is not labeled to control armyworms. Talstar P Liquid Concentrate or Talstar XTRA Granules are most commonly used for treating armyworms. Talstar P Liquid will provide a 30 day residual in the lawn, Talstar XTRA Granules will last 60-90 days in the lawn once watered in.
Please read our Armyworm Treatment Guide for more information and recommendations
Cyper TC is not labeled for use on edibles such as fruit, vegetables, herbs, citrus, etc therefore should not be applied to corn or any other vegetable crop.
You could consider Malathion 57% as an alternative, which is labeled to target certain types of weevils, and can safely be applied to corn, and other listed crops, if used as directed.
No, Cyper TC is not labeled for white grubs.
There are a couple options for white grubs depending on if they are actively feeding or doing a preventative treatment before grub eggs hatch. We recommend using Dylox 6.2 for actively feeding grubs and Merit Granules for preventation of grubs in mid June to late July. Dylox 6.2 is known to be one of the fastest-acting granule products for grub control.
Please view our White Grub Treatment Guide for more information on a successful treatment.
Cyper TC is not labeled for white grubs.
For actively feeding grubs, Dylox 6.2 Granules would be the best choice for immediate control. For preventative treatments prior to grub egg hatch (mid June to late July) Merit 0.5 Granules are the top choice for prevention.
Please view our Grub Treatment Guide for more information.
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 target spittlebugs. However, Talstar P does include spittlebugs on the product label as a target insect, and can be applied to your lawn and landscaped areas.
For dense thatch layers, more water volume may be required to get the active ingredient through the thatch and to the soil. Otherwise it would be recommended to detatch the lawn prior to the application. View our video on How to Detatch Your Lawn for more information.
Cyper TC only kills insects that contact a treated area and is slightly repellent so insects may avoid treated areas. Taurus is a non repellent that is undectable and has a delayed reaction which allows insects such as ants and termites, to carry it back for you and pass it around and eliminate the entire colony.
According the the product label for Cyper TC, to control wood infesting insects such as powderpost beetles in homes and other structures, apply as an emulsion containing 0.25%. Please refer to the product label, starting on page 13, for complete application instructions for powderpost beetle treatments, and use as directed.
We also recommend reading over our Wood-Boring Beetle Inspection Guide for more information on controlling this pest.
As long as it is not freezing or going to within 24 hours, you can use Cyper TC at any time. Please view the product label for more information.
Cyper TC is not labeled for leaf cutter ants specifically, but since it does kill ants in general, it would likely kill a leaf cutter. However, we suggest that you refer to our Ant Treatment Guide for recommended treatment methods and links to related products, including baits and non-repellent, transferrable insecticides that target the heart of the ant issue, which is the colony itself.
Products like Cyper TC should be applied when temps are below 85 degrees.
Yes. Cyper TC can be used with an IGR. Please be sure to read over the IGR label as some can be used indoors only and others can be used indoors and outdoors as well.
