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.
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 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 should be mixed at 5.1 oz to 122 oz of water (1 gallon of finished solution) for a 0.1% emulsion.
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 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 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 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.
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.
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 kill grubs. Please review our treatment guide with more helpful information on grub control.
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 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.
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.
