Product Overview

For a better value, try Avesta CS Insecticide , which contains the same active ingredient.

Cyzmic CS Controlled Release Insecticide is a water-based concentrate that provides control of dozens of insects in a powerful micro-encapsulated formulation CapVantage for long-lasting control and little to no odor.

CapVantage Micro Encapsulation means that each droplet of insecticide is encased in a protective microscopic capsule, providing a long residual, even in direct sunlight or other harsh weather conditions. CapVantage also means the insecticide can be picked up more easily by the tiny hairs on insect bodies, especially flying insects. The micro-encapsulation also provides benefits to the applicator, including reduced exposure to the active ingredient.

All-around, Cyzmic CS is a longer-lasting, more effective insecticide on a wide range of insects including bed bugs, ants, mosquitoes, beetles, flies, stink bugs, carpenter bees, and others. Cyzmic CS can be used for a variety of indoor and outdoor insect applications, including perimeter treatments, residential areas, commercial properties, food-handling establishments, livestock and poultry housing, and turf and ornamental. Cyzmic CS can be reapplied at 21-day intervals, if necessary. Cyzmic CS is not a knockdown insecticide, but it can be used in conjunction with knockdown sprays.

Cyzmic CS is now available in single-use .4 oz bottles!

Compare to micro-encapsulated Demand CS.

How Cyzmic CS Works

Cyzmic CS is a water-based insecticide concentrate that targets dozens of structural, turf, and ornamental pests in a long-lasting formulation. The active ingredient Lambda-Cyhalothrin is one of the strongest in the synthetic pyrethroid class of insecticides. Designed to imitate the action of the natural pesticide pyrethrin (derived from the chrysanthemum flower), it quickly attacks the central nervous system of target pests. The primary advantages of this synthetic ingredient include longer residual, lower cost, lower rates, less odor, and longer shelf life. With the CapVantage technology of Cyzmic CS, you can use less product to get more even distribution of the active ingredient over your treatment area, helping to maximize your time, and money.

Encapsulation of the active ingredient also makes it more accessible to insects, especially on porous surfaces like raw wood or brick. Larger insects as roaches, scorpions, or spiders can pick up capsules with more active ingredient at a time, causing death more quickly. CapVantage also helps to coat leaf surfaces more evenly for treatment of flying insects as mosquitoes and ornamental insects as spider mites. The active ingredient not only stays in place, but it also is less susceptible to breakdown from sunlight and heat.

Target Uses for Cyzmic CS

Cyzmic CS is a versatile insecticide that is ideal for applications including: broad-spectrum perimeter insect control, crack and crevice indoor treatments, mosquito treatments, fire ant mounds, turf and ornamental pests, commercial applications, agricultural and industrial buildings, parks, recreational areas, athletic fields, food-handling establishments, livestock and poultry housing, and pet kennels.

    Instant Gratification

    By Aubrey on 09/01/2016

    I've been using this product at my home for over 5 years. So when I was vacationing with family in Miami, I ordered a bottle for my wife's sister that had a spider, ant and roach infestation. Two days after treating her property, she called me to tell me she keeps seeing dead bugs inside and outside everywhere. Even the gnats that flew around the porch light at nighttime were gone.

    Not bad, cheaper than Demand

    By Dan on 02/27/2011

    Cyzmic is a good product. I would say it does the job as well as the spendy Demand CS, given that it is the same generic formula. However, Cyzmic has some pretty intense fumes when mixed really heavy for a roach flush out or bed bugs. The smell is hardly noticeable for .015% dilution for spiders ect.

    A little goes a long way!

    By Todd on 08/21/2010

    Verified Purchase

    4 stars because I've only had this item for about a month. Used it to deter carpenter ants from entering the house, and yard bugs (silverfish, ants, earwigs, etc). So far so good. Based on the directions, you don't need to use much. An 8 oz. bottle will last a long time if you're a homeowner. Good buy.

    Great for scorpions

    By Gene on 12/18/2012

    Verified Purchase

    Had a problem I didn't know about. Found several bark scorpions in the house. These are the most dangerous. Got a scorpion light and went hunting. Must have had a nest outside somewhere. Bought Cyzmic CS and sprayed according to directions. Checked 2 days later and found about 8 dead ones plus ALL of the other bugs. If there is anything better on the market, I'd like to know what it is. I am really impressed with this product.

    Outstanding product

    By Michael on 11/03/2013

    Verified Purchase

    I got tired of paying $60 dollars locally for a bottle of Demand CS. I searched the web and came across this site which had it $20 dollars cheaper. I ended up buying the Cyzmic CS that contains the same active ingredients. I ordered on a Monday night and received it Thursday. This product works identical to Demand and took care of my pest problem. This company has great prices, product selection and fast FREE shipping. 5 stars everyday from a very happy customer.

Q
Can Cyzmic CS be mixed with CyKick CS?

Since these are both micro encapsulated and have different active ingredients, could they be mixed together for the ultimate scorpion control product? If so, would adding ExciteR to that combo be even more affective for knock down?

A

No, Cyzmic CS Controlled Release Insecticide and Cy-Kick CS cannot be tank mixed together as even though they use different active ingredients, they have the same mode of action, both pyrethroids and Class 3 Insecticides. 

For active scorpion infestations, we would recommend Onslaught Fast Cap Spider and Scorpion Insecticide for quick knockdown and residual along with the microencapsulated benefit of the active ingredient particles. Please view our Scorpion Treatment Guide for more information.

Can you tank mix OneGuard with Cyzmic CS?

Q
Will Cyzmic CS kill horse flies?

I have horse flies around the pool with vegetation around it and woods further back. Horse flies are stinging the crap out of me. Will this kill them and keep them away/

A

Cyzmic CS is not labeled specifically for horse flies but could kill those that contact a treated area long enough to get a lethal dose. 

It's safe for your pets and children as long as they are kept away from the area during treatment and until it's completely dry. 

You can also use Maxforce Granular Fly Bait inside an FBS-1 Fly Bait Station to help reduce activity in areas of high activity as well.
