Asked by Patricia07/31/2009QHow 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?AEach 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.

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. -

Read Full Answer »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. Scorpion Control -

Asked by Sandra09/16/2009QDoes 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.

Asked by Natasha03/11/2010QIs Cyper WP safe to use around your pets?A

Read Full Answer »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. -
Asked by Randy04/28/2010QCan Cyper WP be used in a stain?A

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 -
Asked by Robert06/06/2010QOnce 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.AIf you know where a nest is, then direct treatment with an insecticide that will kill quickly is always the best solution.

Read Full Answer »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. -

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. -
Asked by Brian06/20/2010QCan Cyper WP be used with Termidor?

Can I use these two products together?AYou 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.

Asked by Diane07/14/2010QWhat insect might be responsible for small webs in my cabinets, around sink drains, etc. in my weekend house?
These are smaller-fibered and more dense and less organized than spider webs. Is there a chemical I can use to treat for these pests that is not harmful to people or pets? Also, we seem to have earwigs and those small, soft millipede-type things (these latter hang around in paper and books). What should I use to discourage these as well?

Read Full Answer »Some species of spiders do make very odd webs and it is possible that you are in fact dealing with a spider. It is also possible that you are dealing with a stored product pest of some sort. You can set out glueboards in your cabinets and in the unused sinks to see if you can catch the insect that is making the webs. After you are able to catch and identify the insect we can help you select the appropriate treatment. We recommend Cyper WP for spiders, earwigs and other hard to kill insects. You should spray around the baseboards, door frames, window frames, places where utilities (cables, pipes, wires) enter into the structure, under appliances and in any other crack, crevice or void where insects can harbor. You can use the same product for outdoor control as well. Cyper Wp is safe to use around pets and people as long as they (except for the applicator) are out of the area while the spray is being applied and they can return as soon as the area is dry (about 1 hour). -

The hardest part of getting rid of the brown recluse is finding them since they like to remain hidden. Cyper WP would be a great choice for indoor and outdoor spider control. The active ingredient in Cyper WP is cypermethrin, which is known to be one of the top choices for spider control.

Indoors, spray around all baseboards, door frames, window frames, under appliances, in closets and storage rooms and in areas where utilities enter into the structure. Outdoors you should spray around the bottom of the foundation, on the ground adjacent to the foundation, door frames, window frames and places where the utilities enter into the structure. We have included Cyper in our spider control kit, which also contains glue boards to help monitor the infestation (and help catch the spiders too).

Asked by Charles07/31/2010QI need to know how to use Cyper WP with Permethrin SFR for Wasps.
I need to kill wasps on my property, and I plan on using Permethrin SFR mixed with Cyper WP. When mixing these two products together, should I use the recommended amount for each product as if I was using each product alone? I need a quick knock down from the Permethrin, but I also want a good residual from the Cyper WP. What are your suggestions for the amount of each product per gallon of water in a tank sprayer? Thanks!APermethrin SFR and Cyper WP are both very similar products, and we really do not think you should mix them together or need to.

Asked by Robert08/11/2010QI just sprayed with Cyper WP to eliminate wasps and hornets. What should I see happening?
I just sprayed with Cyper WP around my house and deck. When I sprayed a couple nests with Cyper WP, it didn't seem to effect the wasps at that time. I came back about a half hour later, and I didn't see them around the nest (nor flying around the deck). It appears to have eliminated them. Is this what should happen? I guess that I would have expected the wasps to immediately drop when I sprayed them directly with the Cyper WP. Thank you!ACyper WP does not offer an instant knockdown even if it is sprayed directly on the wasp. Cyper WP will however kill the wasp after just a few minutes.
