How Cyper WP Insecticide Works

Cyper WP is a residual insecticide concentrate with the active ingredient Cypermethrin. Cypermethrin is in the synthetic pyrethroid class of insecticides. It is a man-made active ingredient that attacks the central nervous system of insects that come in contact with or ingest it. Cyper WP is diluted with water and applied with a gallon pump sprayer. After it dries, Cyper WP continues to work for up to 3 months.

Cyper WP Target Pests

A variety of crawling and flying pests including (but not limited to) ants, carpenter ants, cockroaches, crickets, scorpions, and spiders

PESTS CONTROLLED WITH CYPER WP: Ants, Bees, Boxelder Bugs, Carpenter Ants, Carpenter Bees, Centipedes, Chiggers, Cockroaches, Crickets, Earwigs, Elm Leaf Beetles, Fire Ants (mounds), Firebrats, Fleas, Flies, Millipedes, Mites, Mosquitoes, Pillbugs, Scorpions, Silverfish, Sod Webworms, Sowbugs, Spiders, Ticks,  Termites (above ground only)

Target Uses of Cyper WP

Cyper WP (same as Demon WP and Cynoff WP) insecticide is a loose white powder that is mixed with water. It can be applied as a crack and crevice and/or spot treatment for residual and contact control of ants, bees, biting flies, boxelder bugs, centipedes, cockroaches, crickets, earwigs, elm leaf beetles, firebrats, fleas, flies, millipedes, mosquitoes, pillbugs, silverfish, sowbugs, spiders, ticks, and wasps.

Cyper WP has a residual of up to 3 months. 1 x 1lb. container of Cyper WP yields up to 48 gallons of finished product.

Cyper WP (Wettable Powder) is excellent for larger, tougher pests such as cockroaches, spiders, scorpions, or stink bugs because there is a high concentration of active ingredient. The wettable powder formulation also makes Cyper WP ideal for porous surfaces such as concrete since the individual particles of active ingredient are larger and can more easily stay on top of the surface.

*Cyper WP leaves a white powdery film that may be visible on darker surfaces. For applications where this is a concern, consider using a liquid concentrate instead.

ACTIVE INGREDIENT: Cypermethrin 40.0%

    Very effective

    By Pam on 04/02/2009

    I've used Cyper WP in my home in northern KY. It was very effective and me and my neighbors on both sides of my house used this product at the same time. It works better when you can treat inside and outside of your home. It's a lot cheaper than an exterminator. I repeat treatment about every 3 months to prevent the bugs from coming back. Thank you very much, I can now sleep at night without worrying.

    Cyper WP Works Great

    By Jim on 06/06/2010

    Verified Purchase

    Our Ranch house was infested with scorpions. We were advised Cyper WP would do the trick. We literally counted about 40 dead ones after the application and have seen only one or two that were acting very sickly. This stuff works. It actually has killed everything that crawls or flies when that pest comes in contact with it. I will be ordering more in quantity for friends and family. Thank You for having a bulk discount.

    The best I ever used

    By George on 08/03/2006

    Starting in 2005 I noticed late evening every night on my patio carpet several black bugs and identified them as Oriental cockroaches. In March of 2006, it became terrible. A friend looked on his computer and found that Niban bait was recommended. He gave me your number. My first conversation was with Michael and he recommended Cyper WP with the Niban. He told me to remember that Niban was a bait and not to use the Cyper WP near the Niban. I used a 3 gallon watering can with 4 scoops of Cyper WP, mixed good, to eliminate the nest which was in a long crack in our side walk, adjacent to our patio. I soaked the entire patio carpet, and the entire perimeter of our house. I put the Niban bait, sparingly, not closer than 25' to our sun room and patio. This type of cockroach loves water. I removed my landscaping bark which was always wet from watering flowers. I have since ordered 4 Cyper WP. It has been a good month and a half with NO black water cockroaches in our sun room. Once in a while I will find one on our patio carpet, on his back dead. The Cyper WP in also good for killing ants. The best I ever used. I have 1/2 acre of land so sometimes its a struggle. Thank you for all of your help.

    Cyper WP

    By Sean on 07/30/2010

    Verified Purchase

    Does exactly what it said it would do. I had a very bad spider (Brown Recluse and Wolf) problem inside and outside the house, within a day I saw no more living spiders in my house, period. Word of caution, pay attention to what it says about if you have dark floors. I do have dark floors and it leaves a very noticeable white residue. They have others for inside the house that are clear, i just didn't read thoroughly. Great Product.

    Cyper WP Review

    By Jim on 07/17/2010

    Verified Purchase

    Seems to be doing the job on black widows and scorpions. Strangely, more scorpions were seen indoors after first application but they were asking to be taken to the ER. Leaves a slight residue, which is the whole idea with the powder, but it's not objectionable and can be wiped/washed off if need be.

Q
How many scoops of Cyper WP should be mixed per gallon of water?

Hi. This is my first time using Cyper WP and I have the one pound container. It came with a scooper, but the package does not state anywhere on how much to use. I am guessing that it is one scoop per gallon. But I do NOT want to guess, so that is why I am asking you how many scoops per gallon?

A

Each jar of Cyper WP comes with a full product label attached to the the jar. If you take a close look, you will see that you can peel off the label and there is a direction booklet attached. Cyper WP does come with a scooper and you do use one or two level scoops per gallon. Most of the common pests require 1 scoop per gallon of water. If you are treating carpenter ants, carpenter bees, cockroaches, fire ants, scorpions, spiders, ticks or wasps, then you need to use 2 scoops per gallon of water.

Q
Will Cyper WP control scorpions in Arizona?
A

Yes, this product is one of our best sellers for scorpions.  Cyper WP comes with a scooper inside which  you can use to mix one or two scoops with a gallon of water in your hand pump sprayer.  For scorpions you need to pack a punch, so we recommend using 2 scoops per gallon of water.  Apply around the foundation of the home outside once a month.  This will keep a good residual present and you will see a huge difference with your scorpion issue.  Even though this product packs a punch for scorpions, it is perfectly safe to have children and pets in the yard after the spray dries.  It is only strong enough to kill smaller bugs and insects. Below is a great article on the control of scorpions.

Q
Will Cyper WP kill crazy raspberry ants?
A

Cyper WP will kill any type of ant that you physically spray it on, but the problem with most ants is that the colony is somewhere else.  If you want to get rid of the problem for good you have to get rid of the colony, which is the source of the issue.  We sell a Raspberry/ Caribbean Crazy Ant Kit that has been very popular for these crazy raspberry ants and it includes Termidor SC.  Termidor SC does not kill the ants right away, but it allows them to walk over the barrier you apply around your home, and the ants end up taking the product back to the colony where it spreads like a plague.  It works like a liquid bait.  Residents of Texas have been very successful with this product.

Q
Is Cyper WP safe to use on a lawn with pets and dogs?

I want to use Cyper WP due to having a lot of spiders at my house. We have found brown widows with their "spikey" eggs. We also have black widows and common house spiders. We have 2 dogs that stay outside and are known to lick, chew and dig in most places. Is it safe to apply Cyper WP in the backyard where the dogs are if I let it dry before putting the dogs back out?

A

Yes, Cyper WP is perfectly safe to apply around pets and/or children.  When you are applying the product you should do exactly as you suggest, which is keep the pets inside or if applying inside in another room until the product dries.  After it dries which is usually about 30 minutes, it is perfectly safe to allow pets entry back into the yard or living space.

Q
Does Cyper WP kill scorpions?
A
Yes, in fact Cyper WP is one of our most popular products for killing scorpions.  You should use the higher concentration (2 scoops per gallon) when spraying for scorpions outside because you need an extra punch for scorpions and large roaches.

Q
Is Cyper WP safe to use around your pets?
A
Yes, Cyper WP is safe to use around your pets as long as you follow the product label. All pets need to be out of the area when you apply Cyper WP. They cannot return until the product is dry, usually about 1 hour.

Q
Is Cyper WP effective on ladybugs? We are inundated with them.
A
Yes. Cyper WP is a great choice for ladybug control. Because Cyper WP is a wettable powder formulation, the product will stay on the surface of the material that is sprayed making it easier for the ladybugs to receive a lethal dose. It may be necessary to spray once a month during the ladybug season for effective control.

Q
What do I need to use to kill camel crickets and spiders? Deltamethrin Dust?
A
Dust is sometimes a good option for those insects, but sometimes it can be a little messy.  I would say our best seller is actually a dust you mix with water called a wettable powder.  Wettable powders are good because they make a solution in a one gallon hand pump sprayer which is usually easier to apply, and when the water dries it leaves a residual layer of dust behind which is easier for the insects to pick up on their bodies.  Sometimes when you apply dust it can be easily over applied and not as effective.  This being said, we would recommend Cyper WP.

Q
Can Cyper WP be used in a stain?

No, Cyper WP is not labeled to be used in a stain.  We do not have any products meant to be used in a stain or paint.

Q
Is Cyper WP effective against Allegheny Mound Ants?

We have Allegheny Mound Ants will Cyper WP be an effective product to control and or rid our property of this type of ants. We also have fire ants and maybe one or two other species of ants but the Allegheny Mound Ants are causing the most problems since they are so aggressive.

A
Yes, Cyper WP should be effective if you use it as a drench on the mounds. Using a shovel, scrape away the top of the mound and pour one gallon of the diluted Cyper WP into the mound. Unfortunately we cannot find one product that has been labeled for Alleghany Mound ants. Cyper WP is labeled for ants in general and fire ants specifically.

Q
I have spiders in and on my house. Which product is better for killing them, Cyper WP or Demon WP?
A
Cyper WP is the generic of Demon WP. Both products contain the same active ingredient in the same concentration. Cypermethrin, the active ingredient in both Cyper WP and Demon WP, is known to be one of the most effective active ingredients for spiders and other hard to kill insects.

Q
What products should I use to get rid of a heavy infestation of millipedes?

I have dead and crawling ones every morning inside and outside

A
Millipedes are usually going to be present when there is a lot of moisture in the area. If you have a lot of mulch near your house you may want to consider raking it back at least six inches away from the house. Also trimming bushes so that you can see the soil beneath them and so they do not touch the house will help reduce soil moisture and stop the insects from gaining access to the house via the bushes.  We recommend using Cyper WP around the outside perimeter of the home (especially under and around eaves, decks, patios, and window shutters), and inside along baseboards, in cracks and crevices, and other potential millipede harborages. We have also written an article with other tips that may help you with millipede control : Get Rid of Millipedes

Q
Once a carpenter ant nest is found, what are some options for direct treatment?

Through treatment by traditional sodium borate formulations I've managed to drive the carpenter ants from my house. After some searching I've found their nest outside. I setup several small containers of the sugar formulations and spread Advanced 375 over the area. It looks like it worked to some extent but the ants are still there though in diminished numbers. They are no longer taking the sodium borate sugar solutions and they are no longer taking the Advance 375. What else do you recommend for direct application to the ground above and underground nest? The size of the area is 3 feet by 4 feet roughly ovular and when they were feeding they were consuming 1-2 fl oz of Terro a day.

A
If you know where a nest is, then direct treatment with an insecticide that will kill quickly is always the best solution.  The best method is to use a liquid insecticide or a dust directly on the nest.  For liquid you should use Cyper WP  which is a powder you mix with water in a one gallon hand pump sprayer.  It will kill the ants quickly once you drench them.  You can also treat the nest with a dust which spreads through the nest quickly.  We would recommend Delta Dust for this application.  One benefit of using Cyper WP is that it is labeled for all other insects as well and can be used inside and outside the home around the perimeter as a general use pest control treatment.

Q
What can I use to get rid of spiders indoor?

I use Cyper WP for outdoor use. We have some small black spiders. What is safe around people?

A

Cyper WP can be used indoors and outdoors for spider control. When treating indoors be sure that all pets and other people are out of the application area and they can return as soon as the area is dry. The Cyper WP product label recommends 2 scoops of product per gallon of water, sprayed directly into cracks and crevices, under appliances, around door frames and window frames and in places where utilities (cables, pipes, wires) enter into the structure. We have recently added a spider control kit to our website that includes Cyper WP, Cobweb Eliminator and glue boards. Using Cobweb eliminator will help discourage spiders from forming webs on the surfaces that have been sprayed and the glue boards will help trap wandering spiders and help monitor problem areas.

Q
Can Cyper WP be used with Termidor?

I have had an ant problem for a couple of years. I started using termidor and it has solved that issue however it is not helping with the spiders. Can I use these two products together?

A
You can use them at the same time, but not in the same areas. If you spray the Cyper WP on the same area where you have applied the Termidor SC, you will make the Termidor SC repellent, and render it ineffective for ant control. If you have different target areas for the Cyper WP, say in the eaves or indoors to control the spider problem then you would not contaminate the Termidor SC.
